Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 65
Chapter 65: What Grudge is There?
That evening, Chen Ye slept in the master bedroom on the third floor and could clearly hear the conversation between his parents in the bedroom on the second floor.
“Old Chen, did you really accept our son’s friend?”
“Why wouldn’t I accept? He’s at least a 4+ expert. More importantly, that Long Aotian is very young with enormous potential. Being able to recruit such a genius is enough for me to fulfill this year’s assessment and then some. If he can advance to the fifth tier, I won’t have to worry for several years to come.”
“But… aren’t you afraid there’s something wrong with this Long Aotian ?”
“As long as our son keeps his wits about him and doesn’t get involved in illegal activities, I can handle it for him. Besides…”
“What else?”
“…I have a strange feeling about that Long Aotian , as if… as if he’s my long-lost son. Isn’t that odd? So, my intuition tells me that this Long Aotian shouldn’t have any ill intentions… Huh? Honey, what are you doing?”
“I’m packing your things. We’re going to find your illegitimate child!”
“Oh my! I just said it casually, how could there be any illegitimate child… Honey, stop kidding around, our son is still at home! Honey, honey, let me explain… Honey, open the door!”
Upstairs, Chen Ye listened to this with a speechless expression.
Who would have thought that Chairman Chen, such a grand figure, would be so timid?
In any case, Chen Ye decided that when he got married, he’d better find a wife who is obedient…
…
At the same time.
In a dark and obscure place.
A group of people was conducting some kind of ceremony.
They were all dressed in black robes with black hoods covering their heads, blending almost seamlessly with the surrounding darkness. Even with candles lit, their faces remained unseen.
When the person in the centre drank a bowl of dark green monster blood, the ceremony was considered complete.
The leader immediately spoke, “Dear friend, welcome to join us. From now on, you are our steadfast companion, and we will fight side by side until the moment we enter the embrace of the true lord.”
“I only care about one thing, when are you going to take action?”
The person who had just drunk the beast’s blood spoke. From the sound of her voice, she was a woman.
“Rest assured, my friend, your enemies are our enemies, and your hatred will be avenged by us!”
The leader said first, then continued, “For the soul of a peerless genius, I believe the true lord is also interested! However… in that school, there are many strong individuals. If we launch a direct attack, we will suffer heavy losses. Do you have any good suggestions?”
The woman in the middle remained silent for a moment before saying, “Three months later, during the freshman exchange competition, should be the best time! By then, I will find a way to lure them out, and then you can take action.”
The leader chuckled, “That’s a great idea.”
“What level of experts do you plan to send?” the woman asked.
“Six fourth-tier experts, how does that sound to you?”
“Only fourth-tier experts? Why not directly send fifth-tier experts? That person you mentioned, after the first secret realm, her overall strength is already close to the third tier. Three months later, she might become a fourth-tier expert! With her talent and the guidance of her teacher, people at the same level will have a hard time killing them, even if there are several times more of them!”
“If this plan fails, we may never have another chance.”
The woman’s tone was discontented.
“Be patient, my friend!”
The leader explained, “Every fifth-tier expert is a well-known figure. If we send our fifth-tier experts to the Xia Kingdom, it may attract their attention and alert them…”
“But what you said also makes sense. For the smooth execution of this plan, I will apply to headquarters to send a relatively low-key fifth-tier expert to carry out this mission.”
After a pause, the leader suddenly added, “Furthermore, I know that many people don’t want another Qin to emerge in the Xia Kingdom. Perhaps, we can join forces with them to recruit more experts to ensure the success of this plan.”
The woman didn’t speak anymore, seeming quite satisfied with this plan.
“My friend, do you have anything else to add?”
“Besides that person, there’s another bastard you must help me kill, preferably tortured before being killed, just like that person. Sacrifice them all to the true lord!”
As she spoke, the woman took out a photo and held it up.
The person in the photo was none other than Chen Ye.
It’s unclear what grudge this woman has against Chen Ye, but she specifically marked that he should be tortured before being killed…
The leader glanced at the photo and suddenly burst into laughter:
“I know this person. He’s a very famous playboy in your area… It’s an insult to send a fifth-tier expert to deal with such a womaniser. I will personally send someone to capture him for you, to be tortured at your leisure.”
“Sacrificing him to the true lord is out of the question. The soul of a playboy is not something the true lord would favour.”
Upon hearing this, the people around them all burst into laughter…
…
The next morning.
At the Chen family’s dining table.
Chairman Chen and his son were having breakfast.
“Dad, why did you sleep on the sofa last night?”
“It was too hot in the room, and cooler in the living room. What’s wrong with sleeping on the sofa?”
“Why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Did you not sleep well last night?”
“…Why do you have so many questions? Finish eating and get going to school!”
Chen Ye chuckled and didn’t continue teasing his father. Then he said, “By the way, Dad, can you give me some money?”
As soon as he said this, Chen Ye suddenly felt like he was back in his rebellious teenage years on Earth, asking his parents for money.
Now, Chen Ye realised that being able to ask his parents for money was also a kind of happiness! Chairman Chen subconsciously frowned when he heard his son ask for money.
“Didn’t your mother deposit tens of thousands of yuan in your account last time? It’s only been three months, and you’ve already spent it all?”
“Nope! It’s still in the account.”
“Then why do you need money?”
“I have something to do.”
“You’re just a student, what do you need money for?”
At this point, his mother, Yang Rongzhi, brought fried eggs over and interrupted Chairman Chen, saying, “What do you know? Our son is all grown up now, and there are plenty of places where money is needed! Don’t you spend money when you’re dating?”
Chairman Chen opened his mouth, intending to say that Chen Ye, at his age, should prioritise his studies.
However, before he could say anything, he couldn’t help but recall Tang Zichen’s appearance.
He was a hundred percent satisfied with this “daughter-in-law”!
So, he remained silent. Yes, now Chairman Chen and his wife both thought that their son, Chen Ye, and Tang Zichen were in a relationship.
They had watched the video that was exposed online last time.
If it weren’t for being in a relationship, why would that Tang family girl let their son run first in a dangerous situation?
“Son, how much money do you want?”
His mother, Yang Rongzhi, asked Chen Ye with a smile, “One million enough?”
Wow!Indeed, they were wealthy! Throwing out one million just like that.
In his past life on Earth, if Chen Ye had this money, it would have solved many of his problems…
“That’s enough, thank you, Mom!”
Chairman Chen furrowed his brow slightly, feeling that giving one million at once was a bit too much, especially since Chen Ye was now at an age where he might lose control and develop bad habits.
But if he really marries that Tang family girl, spending a little money doesn’t seem like much. So, he remained silent.
Yang Rongzhi was even more straightforward, directly taking out her phone and transferring money to Chen Ye in front of him.
“It’s done. Spend it at school as you need. Don’t be stingy, and if it’s not enough, just ask Mom for more.”
Chen Ye: …
No wonder there are so many second-generation prodigals, probably because they were spoiled by their parents.
…
Two hours later.
Chen Ye returned to the train station in Sicheng City, and then took a taxi. However, he didn’t tell the driver to go back to school but instead came to the local CDC.
For the past month, Chen Ye hadn’t been idle after exercising every day. After a month of effort, he finally managed to bribe a physician from the CDC.
Today happened to be the day of the transaction. He asked his mother for money for this matter.
