The piercing cold wind blowing from the frozen sea chilled the hearts of many Fire Manipulators.
Since boarding the ship, the law enforcers had automatically split into small groups, scattered across the deck. Number 8 had originally intended to avoid the group from Aurora City to prevent any uncertainties, but unexpectedly, they had still been targeted.
At the same time, Lu Xuanming and Pu Wen, who were nearby, also turned their heads to look here.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Yifei finally took a step forward, slowly walking towards Yan Xicai, who was surrounded by many Aurora City law enforcers.
"What's the matter?" he asked calmly.
"What's your name?"
"I'm Chen Yifei, a law enforcer from District Three."
Yan Xicai looked him up and down. "Your coat looks good. Give it to me."
"Why should I?" Chen Yifei countered.
With this sentence, a strong tension filled the air. Anyone could sense that the third young master was angry and wanted to assert his dominance over Chen Yifei...who was clearly not an easy target.
"Give him the coat, give him the coat, don't cause trouble...We're about to enter the Ancient Relic, don't cause any trouble..."
The hearts of many Fire Manipulators were in their mouths, silently praying.
Yan Xicai casually stretched out his hand to the side, and one of the law enforcers behind him immediately handed him a thick stack of silver coins, which he then casually flung.
Clang—
Dozens of silver coins were scattered, all landing on Chen Yifei and then falling to the ground like trash.
"Is that enough?" Yan Xicai blew on his fingernails leisurely and asked, "If not, how about adding one of your legs..."
Before the last word "how" was fully spoken, a cold gun barrel was pressed against his forehead.
Yan Xicai was stunned.
"Not enough," Chen Yifei held the gun in one hand, his eyes narrowing dangerously. With a click, a bullet was loaded into the chamber.
"How about adding your life?"
The Fire Manipulators: ????
[Audience Expectation +5]
[Current Expectation: 71%]
A piercing cold wind swept across the deck, and in the next moment, the crowd watching finally snapped out of their shock!
The more than ten law enforcers standing behind Yan Xicai were terrified and simultaneously drew their guns!
Numerous gun barrels were aimed at Chen Yifei. If he dared to shoot, he would certainly be shot to pieces. At the same time, Lu Xuanming and Pu Wen, who were standing far away, also showed surprise in their eyes.
They had considered that Chen Yifei might resist, because not everyone was a pushover, but they never expected that after just two sentences from Yan Xicai, the other party would draw his gun without hesitation!
Surrounded by so many Aurora City law enforcers, threatening the life of the third young master of the Star Cluster Merchants Association with a gun?
Was he crazy?!
At this moment, Number 8 felt his heart almost stop.
He immediately rushed forward, pressed down the gun in Chen Yifei's hand, and glared at him fiercely.
Chen Yifei remained expressionless.
"You, you, you..." Yan Xicai's face turned pale. It was the first time in his life that he had been threatened so bluntly and ruthlessly. "Do you know who I am?! How dare you point a gun at me?"
Agent 8 took a deep breath, lowered his stance, and apologized to Yan Xicai,
"I'm sorry. Chen Yifei just got promoted as an enforcer. He's too young and might not know your identity..."
"Chen Yifei! This is the third young master of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce in Aurora City. You should know about the Starlight Chamber of Commerce. They control ninety percent of the resource channels in the seven major districts, and sixty percent of the shops in Aurora City are theirs.
Besides, they are the largest sponsor of the Aurora Territory Enforcer Headquarters. They pay the salaries of enforcers and even enforcer officers... Do you understand what I mean?"
Agent 8 glared at Chen Yifei, almost gritting his teeth as he said this, especially the latter half.
The Starlight Chamber of Commerce is the money bag for all enforcer officers, including the three Aurora City enforcer officers escorting everyone. They have the power to interrupt the journey at any time... If you dare to harm Yan Xicai here, everyone in the third district will lose their qualification to enter the Ancient Relic!
Upon hearing Agent 8's praise, Yan Xicai's expression finally eased a bit... The third district was just a rural place, and it was normal for a low-level enforcer not to understand the value of his identity. The more ignorant one was, the more reckless and vulgar they became.
Just as Yan Xicai was about to say something, the gun barrel was raised again.
"Yan Xicai, right?" Chen Yifei spoke calmly. "Was it this hand that threw money at me just now?"
In the astonished gaze of everyone, Chen Yifei didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.
Bang——
Unlike the last time, Chen Yifei moved too fast this time, and there was no warning at all. Everyone thought that after knowing Yan Xicai's identity, he would be terrified and give up resistance... But who would have thought that he would dare to shoot??
"Ah!!"
Yan Xicai watched in horror as the gun barrel was aimed at his eyeball, followed immediately by the sound of the trigger being pulled. He screamed in terror, lost his balance, and fell backward onto the ground!
A cold wind swept across the deck, and Yan Xicai was scared out of his wits...
He stared blankly at the unresponsive gun barrel for a few seconds before snapping back to reality.
There was no bullet in the gun chamber.
The dark brown coat swayed lightly in the wind. Chen Yifei slowly lowered the gun and looked at Yan Xicai, who was lying on the ground like a wolf, with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
"Chen Yifei!! What are you doing??!" Agent 8 looked at Chen Yifei in disbelief.
"These people from Aurora City are just lucky. They're all good-for-nothings who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths..." Chen Yifei said leisurely, "Officer Jiang Qin, didn't you tell me that?"
Agent 8 was stunned.
He stared intently at Chen Yifei's face. It wasn't until some time had passed that he spoke in a hoarse voice,
"Are you trying to rebel? No, you're not even..."
Agent 8 didn't finish the latter part of the sentence.
But all the hidden Fire Plotters seemed to realize something, and their gaze towards Chen Yifei flickered with doubt and shock.
"Officer Jiang Qin, are you going to punish me?" Chen Yifei looked at Agent 8 calmly, his eyes narrowing into a subtle arc, "On this ship?"
Agent 8 was taken aback.
To outsiders, this conversation was undoubtedly a conflict between enforcers from the third district.
Only the Fire Plotters could see something different... Either Agent 13 wanted to rebel, but that possibility was minimal; or the man in front of them was not Agent 13 at all...
But Chen Yifei himself.
On that train, everyone thought that Agent 13 would definitely kill Chen Yifei. After all, one was a second-stage Thief Way practitioner, while the other was just an ordinary person who had just become an enforcer.
How could an ordinary person kill Agent 13 in revenge and dare to accompany them with a double identity, pretending to be the other person?
It was impossible to imagine!
But surprisingly... it happened.
Chen Yifei looked at Agent 8 calmly, with a slight smile on his lips... He knew that his identity as a Fire Plotter had been exposed, but he didn't care.
This was a ship heading to the Ancient Relic of the Soldier's Path. There were countless enforcers and three enforcer officers on the ship. Even if the Fire Plotters and others knew his identity, they wouldn't dare to act, let alone expose it.
Keeping his identity hidden, hiding in the Fire Plotters' team, entering the Ancient Relic of the Soldier's Path safely, and pretending until the last moment to counter-kill everyone... Although it was indeed a good choice, it wasn't very attractive to Chen Yifei.
Since this was a "performance", he wanted to raise the audience's expectations as much as possible and design more interesting conflict points.
Chen Yifei had a even more crazy plan!
