“I’ll never get tired of staring at such a beautiful woman like Sister Hua.” Ye Xiong giggled.
“Stop flirting. Get out or I’m going to be angry.” Du Yuehua pouted as she acted like she was angry.
“Goodbye, Sister Hua.” Ye Xiong smiled as he turned around and left.
Ye Xiong continued patrolling around the restaurant before stopping by the reception counter and told the receptionist an adult joke. He was incredibly happy.
Then, a figure had attracted his attention.
It was a woman dressed in all black. Black windbreaker, black jeans, and black leather boots. Her short and tidy hairstyle gave off a cool, arrogant vibe and nobody dared to approach her.
She sat silently at the corner. Her sunglasses were so huge that it had almost covered half of her face and this made her look extremely mysterious!
Ye Xiong’s face twitched as he cut through the crowd and sat opposite her.
Phoenix put away her sunglasses, revealing her cool and indifferent face. She was staring intently at Ye Xiong as if she was trying to see through his actions.
Unfortunately, Ye Xiong did not show any expression as if Phoenix did not exist at all.
The two of them sat there quietly. Ultimately, Phoenix gave in and opened her mouth.
“Multiple mysterious humans have appeared in Huaijiang, Zhujiang, and Ning Prefecture. They possess extraordinary capabilities and are able to dodge incoming bullets and cold weapons. The only way to kill them is to chop their heads off. The organization has lost at least ten members against these monsters…”
Ye Xiong picked up the teacup on the table, poured himself a cup of tea and started drinking slowly. It was as he had not heard a single word.
“These mysterious humans are cruel in nature. It’s as if they don’t have the ability to control themselves. Furthermore, none of them possess any identity at all. We’ve discovered from one of the captured mysterious humans that their genes have been modified. They’re different from normal humans. We now have reasonable suspicion that there’s a foreign terrorist organization conducting genetic experiments. They have set up a genetic research center in Huaxia and are performing inhuman experiments.”
“These things that you’re telling me. They’re none of my business.” There was a vague smile on Ye Xiong’s face. He poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her. “You’re more than welcome if you’re here as a friend to have a chat with me. However, please leave if you’re here to talk about business.”
“God of Death, you’re the most talented soldier we’ve ever seen. Are you really going to watch idly and not do anything about it?” Phoenix seemed to be quite emotional.
“I’m not a soldier. I’m just a restaurant manager. Furthermore, I like my current lifestyle,” Ye Xiong said and raised his cup, “I’ll use this cup of tea as a liquor replacement. Cheers to the days when you took great care of me.”
“God of Death…”
“I go by the name of Ye Xiong now. Please don’t make the same mistake again.”
Phoenix’s gaze was filled with sadness as she saw the persistence in Ye Xiong’s eyes. She had thousands of words to say but she could not utter a single word for some reason.
“Ye Xiong, the organization needs you. The Chief needs you. He promises that he’ll fulfill any of your requests if you’re willing to return. The Chief has already set up a brand new team. He’s waiting for your return to give the team their orders,” Phoenix said.
“Are you saying that the organization will fulfill any of my requests?”
“As long as it doesn’t break the law.”
“What if I want you to sleep with me for a night?” The edge of Ye Xiong’s lips curled up.
Phoenix was the golden flower within Dragon Source. Countless guys wanted to get into her pants, even God of Death was attracted to her back then. Unfortunately, she was incredibly skilled and was highly ranked. Nobody dared to touch her at all. Hence, she had turned into a forbidden golden flower within Dragon Source.
He wanted to see what Phoenix, who was rumored to put her country before herself, would do in this situation.
“As long as you’re willing to return, I’ll give not just my body but my everything to you,” Phoenix said firmly.
Ye Xiong stared at Phoenix’s exquisite body before he smiled. “I’m sorry, I was just saying it. I’m not interested.”
“You…” Phoenix’s expression turned sour.
Ye Xiong had fooled her countless times when he worked under her. She did not imagine that this part of him had yet to change even after he left.
“I’m busy. I’ll be taking my leave.” Ye Xiong stood up as he was done speaking to her.
“I’ve something to tell you.”
“Speak.”
“Do you still remember the incident after you and your teammates were captured by foreign forces?” Phoenix asked.
Ye Xiong clenched his fist tightly. Rage could be seen in his eyes.
His teammates would not have died if the organization’s intel was right. He would not have been captured alive by the enemies and even buried underground for a month even though he had miraculously survived.
“You were buried underground for half a month and yet you’ve miraculously survived. No normal person would survive for so long in those conditions.”
“That’s because God pitied me and allowed me to live,” Ye Xiong said angrily.
“The Chief suspects that they’ve modified your genes and wants you to return for a check-up.”
“Are you saying that I’m the same as those mysterious monsters that you guys have been killing? I’m no longer a normal person?” Ye Xiong sneered.
“It’s just a hypothesis. We’ll only know after a thorough examination.”
“I’ve got to say, your lies have become better and better to try and convince me to return.” Ye Xiong laughed without any restraint. He stood up as he slammed the table with both of his hands while staring coldly at her. He smiled and said, “I think you’ve watched too many science fiction movies. Genetic warfare? You should come up with a more matured lie next time. This is way too low.”
Ye Xiong left as he finished speaking.
Then, a girl appeared behind Phoenix.
This girl was only around twenty years old. The vibe coming off from her did not match her age, as if she had experienced a great ordeal. She was almost as tall as Phoenix, standing roughly one meter and seventy centimeters tall. She had neck-length hair and a fringe blocking the left side of her face, revealing only her beautiful and fair right side.
She looked like an incredibly arrogant and cold beauty on the outside. In fact, she might even look more arrogant than Phoenix.
“Is he the God of Death?”
The young girl stared intently at Ye Xiong’s back as he walked away. These words were fuming out from the gap of her teeth.
“It’s him, the former strongest member. The only person in the entire Huaxia that was one of the top ten in the International Justice List. He’s also the captain of the new team that the Chief appointed,” Phoenix replied.
“He doesn’t seem to be any different than a typical thug.” The girl discriminated against Ye Xiong as she muttered. “It’s an honor that the Chief has given him an opportunity. I’ll capture him by force if he doesn’t give face to the Chief.”
The girl strode towards Ye Xiong the instant she finished speaking.
“Rosefinch, hold up. He’s not someone you can defeat.” Phoenix immediately stood up as she tried to chase after her.
“Miss, you haven’t settled the bill yet.” The waiter reminded.
Phoenix immediately took out her purse and settled the bill before chasing after them.
Although Rosefinch was the strongest newly recruited member in the organization, she was still young and would often rush into things. Furthermore, she did not have much social experience and Phoenix was worried that she would anger Ye Xiong.
There was only a handful of people that could forcefully capture the God of Death alive in the entire Huaxia. If Phoenix had no confidence in doing so herself, it would be impossible for Rosefinch.
