721: Chapter 721 Talismans (Part 1)!

The people around them widened their eyes.

Good heavens!

The USA is really going straight for the jugular, aren't they?

And... two major families are involved in this!

This time, this young man from the Dragon Kingdom is probably going to suffer!

Kim Zhilong froze for a moment, and then a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

The next second.

He scrambled up from the ground with a "whoosh," pointed at Ye Chen, and became excited.

"Ye Chen! Did you hear that?!"

"Your woman is now in the hands of the USA!"

"I advise you to kneel down and return my Jin Conglomerate shares!"

"Otherwise..."

A flash of viciousness crossed his eyes, "I will definitely have people make your girlfriend..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Ye Chen shot him a glance.

Just one glance.

It was light, yet carried a hint of killing intent.

Kim Zhilong's voice came to an abrupt halt, and his face swelled to the color of a pig's liver.

His legs went weak, and he scrambled under the corner of the table, curling into a ball.

Hundreds of eyes in the banquet hall watched this scene, but no one laughed.

Because they could also feel it.

The killing intent in Ye Chen's glance was so thick it was almost tangible.

Black Widow snorted coldly.

"Ye Chen, do you think we only brought twelve people this time?"

"For this day, not only has my Ability User Bureau been working hard, but the Manluodi Family and the Gates Family have also been making preparations."

"We share only one goal..."

"To keep you in South Korea forever."

Ye Chen looked at her, his expression unchanged.

No anger, no panic, not even a ripple of emotion.

"So... you think you've won this time?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Then why don't you give them a call and ask?"

Black Widow was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Ye Chen smiled.

"You'll know once you call."

Black Widow's brows furrowed tightly, and the sense of unease in her heart grew stronger.

She stared into Ye Chen's eyes, trying to find a crack in his expression.

But those eyes were too calm, so calm that it made her hair stand on end.

"Playing tricks."

Black Widow sneered, "I think you're just stubborn to the bitter end."

She took out her phone from her pocket.

"I will make you give up!"

"And make your girlfriend scream miserably!"

As she spoke.

She dialed the number and put it on speakerphone.

...

Presidential Suite of the Hilton Hotel in Seoul.

The night outside the window was as dark as ink.

Bing Lan sat at the desk, a laptop placed in front of her, the video conference window on the screen having just closed.

She took off her headphones, rubbed her slightly sore temples, and leaned back in her chair, letting out a long breath.

The 51% share transfer of the Jin Conglomerate involved countless legal clauses, financial audits, and equity change procedures. Even with people from the Jin family handling it, the documents she needed to review and confirm were piled up like a mountain.

Most importantly.

She also needed to coordinate with the Shuyue Group back home, which was truly a headache.

Fortunately... it had finally come to an end.

Bing Lan stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the night view outside.

Ye Chen went to attend the Li family's coming-of-age ceremony, and she wondered how things were going now.

She took out her phone and glanced at it; there were no unread messages.

That guy probably forgot to send a message because he was having too much fun.

When he comes back, should she make him kneel on a keyboard like Qin Qin said?

As she thought about it, the corners of Bing Lan's mouth couldn't help but turn up. She turned and walked back to the desk, starting to organize the scattered documents.

Suddenly! "Bang!!!" The door to the suite exploded open.

The heavy solid wood door panel, along with the door frame, flew in and slammed onto the carpet, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Bing Lan's movements paused. She raised her head, her gaze calm as she looked toward the door.

A group of people filed in.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes.

It was none other than Munkir Manluodi, who had been beaten by Ye Chen and fled in a sorry state at the ginseng chicken soup restaurant earlier that day.

Behind him followed a dozen men dressed in various outfits.

Some were white, some were black, all of them had profound auras and cold, sharp eyes.

And behind them was another group of people.

Leading them was a thin white old man wearing a silver-gray suit, with a hooked nose, deep-set eye sockets, and eyes as sinister as a vulture.

On his chest was a blue shield-shaped badge, with the letter "G" engraved in the center of the shield.

The Gates Family. Another top conglomerate from the USA.

Behind the old man, there were also a dozen or so experts with deep auras.

The two groups added up to nearly thirty people, crowding the living room of the presidential suite.

Looking at the intruders, Bing Lan stood where she was and looked at Munkir: "Are you the one who got beaten up earlier today?"

Munkir's face sank instantly.

Earlier, at the ginseng chicken soup restaurant, he had been stabbed all over by Ye Chen with glass shards, looking as pathetic as a stray dog.

Although those wounds had been eliminated by the genetic potion from the Ability User Bureau.

The pain still faintly lingered.

And now, this woman's words were like a handful of salt, ruthlessly sprinkled onto his wounds.

"You bitch!" Munkir gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resentment.

"The debt your man owes us for beating us is not settled yet!"

"He slapped the face of our Manluodi Family, and he slapped the face of the USA!"

"He's not here today, so we'll make you pay the price first!"

He waved his hand violently. "Take her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the nearly thirty experts behind him took a step forward in unison.

"Boom!!!" Nearly thirty auras erupted simultaneously, like thirty great mountains, crushing down toward Bing Lan.

Early Heaven Realm. Mid-Heaven Realm. Late Heaven Realm. Heavenly Realm Peak. All of them were Heaven Realm Experts.

And that white old man was at the Tianyi Realm level!

The old man sneered coldly. "Dragon Kingdom woman, are you ready to die?"

"Your man killed our young master. If the Gates Family doesn't take revenge, our international status will become a joke!"

"You can't escape today, and neither can he!"

Bing Lan's pupils contracted slightly. Her strength was currently at the Heaven Realm.

In the Secular World, the Heaven Realm was already considered an expert-level strength, enough to act without fear.

But before her were thirty-something Heaven Realm Experts. Moreover, several of their auras were clearly beyond the Heaven Realm—they were in the Celestial Master Realm! Or even the Tianyi Realm!

If it came to a head-on collision, she would definitely not be a match for them.

It wasn't because her talent was insufficient, but because she had never systematically learned combat techniques.

Ye Chen taught her cultivation and helped her break through, but that was just the result of dual cultivation.

Plus, she had been busy with work, wanting to build a commercial empire for Ye Chen to rely on as a backup. Consequently, she had never learned how to fight.

Her strength was mostly used for physical fitness and longevity, not for life-and-death combat.

What's more, the other side had superior numbers.

Bing Lan took a deep breath and slowly took out a yellow paper talisman folded into a triangle from her trench coat pocket.

It was covered in dense runes drawn in cinnabar, faintly glowing with golden light under the lamp.

It was left to her by Ye Chen. Before Ye Chen went to attend the Li family's coming-of-age ceremony, he had personally drawn this talisman and given it to her, saying it would be useful at a critical moment.

Bing Lan held the talisman in her palm, raised her head, looked at Munkir, and spoke indifferently.

"Have all your people arrived?"

Munkir froze for a moment, then burst into laughter. The laughter was full of mockery and disdain.

"What? Do you think we don't have enough people to satisfy you?"

The experts behind him also started laughing. Some shook their heads, some sneered, and some looked at Bing Lan with a hint of playfulness in their eyes.

"Has this woman been scared silly?" "At a time like this, she's still asking if everyone has arrived?" "I think she's probably just stalling for time, waiting for Ye Chen to save her, but Ye Chen can't even save himself!"

The Tianyi Realm old man from the Gates Family also laughed. "Captain Munkir, is this Ye Chen's woman? She looks like a top-tier beauty, but her brain doesn't seem to work very well."

Munkir laughed even harder, the resentment in his eyes turning into lechery. "It doesn't matter if her brain works or not, as long as her face and body are top-tier. Once we finish off her man, this woman... hehe..."

Bing Lan watched their ugly behavior and explained with a calm expression: "I asked if your people had arrived, not because I was afraid you didn't have enough people to satisfy me."

She paused, and a flash of cold light crossed her cold, clear eyes. "I was afraid... that after you're satisfied, you won't be able to walk out, and no one will be there to pick you up."

The whole room was stunned. Then. They burst into thunderous laughter. "Hahahaha..."

Munkir laughed so hard he was rocking back and forth, tears almost coming out. "You woman, you're about to die and you're still so stubborn?"

The white-clad old man from the Gates Family also shook his head: "People from the Dragon Kingdom just love to act mysterious."

The experts behind them laughed even more unscrupulously. Some even took out their phones, wanting to record the scene of Bing Lan being humiliated in a few moments.

"Come, come, let me take a video, and I'll upload it online later to let the whole world see the joke of the Dragon Kingdom people." "Right, right, right, let's title it 'The Last Stubbornness of a Dragon Kingdom Woman.' It'll definitely go viral."

The laughter echoed in the presidential suite, extremely ear-piercing. Bing Lan looked at them without saying another word.

She lowered her head and looked at the triangle-folded talisman in her palm. Then. Her right hand tightened suddenly.

The true qi in her energy center surged into the talisman in her palm like a breached flood.

The next second. The talisman suddenly erupted with blinding golden light. The light was like the sun, illuminating the entire presidential suite as bright as day.
