Originally, Ye Chen hadn't known how to deal with Jiang Che, but now that a master of dark energy was involved, he naturally had to take advantage of it.
"Then what do we do?" As soon as he heard Ye Chen's words, Xiao Han immediately froze. He wasn't foolish; with his cultivation at the late stage of dark energy, picking a fight with Huajin masters would be akin to looking for death.
"To be honest, I'm also a warrior with dark energy," Ye Chen admitted. "And I have a grudge against this Jiang Che; we can join forces to deal with him." Ye Chen continued to play his cards right.
"How do we deal with him?" Xiao Hanfrowned, looking at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression. Even with two dark warriors against a Huajin master, they would definitely not be a match. The martial arts journey was step by step, with an insurmountable gap between each realm. If Jiang Che were only a small realm higher than him, Xiao Han might still find a way to contend with him using his secret methods. But since the opponent was a whole realm higher, he couldn't afford to offend him. He couldn't put his life on the line because of a woman, could he? Although he had feelings for Su Qingyue, he never imagined going that far.
"We'll join forces, and I have hundreds of men on my side. I'm going to find a way to buy some guns and ammunition now, and we'll deal with him then."
"Hundreds of people? Are you serious?" After hearing Ye Chen's words, Xiao Han looked at him in disbelief. While he had lived deep in the mountains and forests, isolated from the world, he had occasionally heard tales of young and dangerous men. He had always yearned for that kind of world, but he never thought today he would have the chance to meet someone like Ye Chen! After all, Ye Chen had mentioned that he had hundreds of men under his command—wasn't he also a leader?
"Brother, can I join your group? I can fight like a pro!"
"I'm not sure about that," Ye Chen said, a little speechless. He could see that Xiao Han was quite peculiar, with a thought process entirely different from normal people.
"Then where did you get all these hundreds of little brothers?" Xiao Han frowned and asked. It didn't seem plausible for him to have so many subordinates without a proper background.
"I'll explain this to you later. How about it, do you want to cooperate with me?" Ye Chen didn't elaborate on the matter; he knew mercenaries didn't reveal their operations easily.
"We can cooperate," Xiao Han nodded, agreeing without hesitation. He certainly didn't want to give up on Su Qingyue.
"Then you go back first. Let's exchange contact information, and I'll reach out when everything is ready." Ye Chen planned to leave right away. He needed to address the gun issue and didn't want to drag Xiao Han along with him.
"Why would you go back?" Seeing that Xiao Han was still following him, Ye Chen frowned, puzzled.
"I don't know where to go back to..." Xiao Han admitted. "I don't have a home, and I don't have a cellphone."
"Then where have you been sleeping all this time?"
"On a park bench."
Ye Chen: ...…
In the end, Ye Chen took Xiao Han to a mobile phone store and bought him a second-hand counterfeit Yali brand phone. Then he spent another 300 yuan to find him a wall-mounted room. The room was very simple; aside from a single bed, there was just a toilet, with no kitchen. The entire space was less than 15 square meters.
Although Xiao Han felt a bit cramped living there, it was better than sleeping in a park. Since entering the country, he hadn't dared spend any of the money from his foreign bank cards. Moreover, he hadn't been working as Su Qingyue's bodyguard for long, and his salary hadn't been paid yet, so he was quite strapped for cash!
After arriving in Kyushu, Ye Chen had been cautious, fearing that any flaws would be exposed. After all, his previous experiences had been quite disgraceful. If government officials found out, he could very well end up in prison. Over the years in Heizhou, he had killed many of Kyushu's people for money, and he didn't have any contacts in Jiangbei City at present. Although he had saved Su Batian's life before, Ye Chen didn't dare disclose his identity. Otherwise, he would certainly be turned over to the authorities.
"I'm sorry for putting you in this situation. In five days at most, I'll take you to live in a villa and drive a luxury car!" Ye Chen patted Xiao Han on the shoulder with a hint of emotion. His overseas funds were already being put to good use, and he expected to convert them into legal assets within three to five days. After all, to buy guns and ammunition, he needed money.
"There are noodles; eat them when you're hungry. There's a game called Blue Moon on the phone; you can play when you're bored."
"I'll be leaving now, just wait for my notice." Ye Chen left immediately after speaking.
"Thanks, big brother!"
