Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2403 - 2467: Getting the Short End of the Stick

When they resurfaced, they saw the small island had been nearly flattened by the explosion, and the surrounding waters were filled with debris. The fighter jet that had descended from the clouds had dropped two missiles. Fortunately, their yield was relatively small, so the island was merely shattered. Otherwise, if the yield had been sufficient, Li Yifei and the Saint would have been in danger.Floating on the surface, the fighter jet was long gone from sight. Li Yifei remained expressionless, but the Saint was somewhat furious. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "How dare those people dispatch a fighter jet!"

The last time they had their showdown, they were bombed by missiles carried by drones. Fortunately, Li Yifei was alert and transformed the True Qi Armor. This time, the opponent had directly sent a fighter jet.

"What wouldn’t they dare to do!" Li Yifei looked at a faint trace in the air, which was the condensation of vapor from the fighter jet’s fuel combustion. Narrowing his eyes, Li Yifei said, "This might be to our advantage, adding another clue. You should have someone check which country owns the fighter jet. Besides your United States, perhaps only Turkey and Greece could fly freely here!"

"Alright, I’ll investigate this matter!" The Saint said coldly, already infuriated by being bombed once, and now getting bombed again was nothing less than a provocation, as if saying if you dare to make Noah’s Ark your enemy, you’re doomed.

When the two acted, they didn’t try to conceal themselves, as it was impossible to hide anyway. Despite being cautious, the footage of their appearance would be recorded by some cameras and has likely been transmitted to Noah’s Ark headquarters, especially considering the fighter jet’s arrival.

"Thankfully, we acted swiftly and resolved the battle, otherwise..." Boarding the ship, Li Yifei felt a slight lingering fear. A fighter jet couldn’t just take off and arrive here immediately; it would need to fly for some time, maybe ten or twenty minutes before reaching here. And Li Yifei and the Saint’s operation on the island took about that time too, indicating that as soon as they moved, Noah’s Ark perhaps knew and dispatched the fighter jet to bomb, intending to bury Li Yifei and the Saint here.

The Saint was on the phone, reporting the situation to the elder and mobilizing the local Holy War Organization members to quickly locate the fighter jet’s affiliated unit and investigate the matter thoroughly. A fighter jet couldn’t randomly take off and drop missiles domestically without reason. If it belonged to another country, that would be an act of invasion.

Meanwhile, the Holy War Organization also caught some lucky escapees and a few Noah’s Ark members from the island.

Li Yifei didn’t enquire about these matters. He also reported the information to Murong Yuanqing and briefed on what transpired here, which shocked Murong Yuanqing upon hearing what the Noah’s Ark division had done.

"Artificial experts?" Murong Yuanqing had seen similar people over the years, but back then, those who walked such paths were practicing evil cultivation, falling into the dark ways. Now hearing what Li Yifei said, that Noah’s Ark intended to create experts using genetic technology sounded rather astounding.

"These people deserve death. What they are doing defies the Heavenly Path and humanity!" After clarifying repeatedly, Murong Yuanqing couldn’t help but slap the table and shout.

Li Yifei said, "Senior, our people also need to proceed. The Saint and I didn’t hide ourselves, so Noah’s Ark already knows it’s us. Although we have every reason to retaliate, I fear my family’s safety might be affected."

Murong Yuanqing immediately replied, "I’ll head to your home right away, bringing along a team. Li Yifei, you go forth with no hesitation. If you manage to take down the Noah’s Ark Organization, I will forever protect the Li family, even after my death."

That sounded a bit awkward. Li Yifei savored it a bit, then said, "Senior, Noah’s Ark is too formidable for me alone!"

"Who said it was just you alone? Don’t worry, you have a strong ability to stir trouble anyway. Since you’ve started it, why not amplify it some more? I’ll ensure your family’s safety and arrange things secretly, so don’t worry." Murong Yuanqing said.

Li Yifei grinned and replied, "Alright then, I’m relieved. With you supervising, there’s no concern at home. But are you truly letting me act freely?"

Li Yifei’s personal energy seems to be quite remarkable, colloquially known as his troublemaking ability. Back in the days, he stormed into Japan in rage, and obliterated half of the Yamaguchi Group’s foundation, forcing Japan’s official entities to ask Huaxia to intervene.

Now he’s let loose on Noah’s Ark Organization...within a few days, he destroyed a base, and it was such a deranged base at that. They dared to plan genetic modifications to create experts. If this news spreads, all cultivators worldwide would never tolerate them. After all, cultivators grow and develop through arduous training, connecting with the universe, elevating themselves, ascending to new heights, which is the rightful path, filled with hardship and uncertainties, while an artificially created expert also undergoes suffering, but the agony is extremely short compared to the incremental cultivation journey.

Therefore, Li Yifei suggested spreading this news, to which Murong Yuanqing chuckled and said, "No rush in that matter, proceed as you’re doing, leave this to me."

"Alright. Senior, I entrust the matters at home to you!" Li Yifei said.

"Go ahead, the future belongs to you youngsters. This battle with Noah’s Ark relates to societal progression in the future. Hearing they have reached the third phase and are nearly able to produce artificial experts indicates they’re close to success, hence it’s crucial to stop them!"

"Understood, I’ll try my best to disrupt them!"

"That’s right, when the water is muddied, only then can big fish leap out," said Murong Yuanqing.

With the old man’s assurance, Li Yifei was no longer worried about matters at home. Otherwise, he would always be uneasy when he was away, as there was only Jiang Ningxiang at home, along with Sophia and others. They could handle ordinary experts, even Type III people, which are artificial experts. But if they encountered someone of his level, those people wouldn’t stand a chance.

With Murong Yuanqing leading people over, Li Yifei not only was unconcerned about safety issues, but also about the various business dealings at home. The old man represented a significant presence; with him around, even the Zhao Family would probably dare not have any ideas.

I owe you, indeed. Li Yifei tapped the deck with his fingers. The Holy Maiden emerged from the cabin, sat beside Li Yifei, and leaned her head over. Li Yifei lowered his shoulder to make it easier for her to rest on.

Under the starlit night, Li Yifei and the Holy Maiden lay together, their hearts at peace. Although they had just experienced a fierce battle, this was only the beginning. In the days to come, such battles would likely be frequent.

After all, they were now challenging the strongest organization in existence, which is perhaps not weaker than the Holy War Organization, or Huaxia, although this was speculation. Li Yifei and the others did not yet know how strong it truly was.

But what does it matter? Whether it’s the Holy War Organization or Huaxia, they have already realized the danger posed by the Noah’s Ark Organization and are determined to deal with them. Li Yifei and the Holy Maiden, as the two representatives, were like catfish stirring the waters, enabling Noah’s Ark’s fish to emerge.

Expressing Murong Yuanqing’s intent, the Holy Maiden tapped Li Yifei’s chest with her finger, accidentally pressing a small protrusion, causing Li Yifei’s body to react. He looked at the Holy Maiden, raised his brow, and she giggled, saying, "Marry a beggar, live like a beggar; marry an old man, live like an old man. You ask me what to do? I am already yours, what else can I do?"

"Hmm?" Li Yifei’s expression became interesting; the Holy Maiden’s words were certainly a double entendre. Li Yifei propped up his body, bent over, and looked at the Holy Maiden, saying, "You’re making me think too much."

"What are you thinking about?" The Holy Maiden gazed at Li Yifei with eyes as seductive as silk, her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak, sparkling seductively.

"You are not entirely mine yet; I haven’t claimed you!" Li Yifei said in a deep voice.

The Holy Maiden stuck out her pink tongue, licking her lips, which glistened moistly. In a playful tone, she said, "Well then... claim me! I’m not planning on resisting!"

Gulp, Li Yifei swallowed hard, his mouth dry and tongue parched, feeling a surge of heat rise through his body. This little enchantress clearly knew he wouldn’t act, yet she continued to entice him. Slowly, Li Yifei’s hand moved downward, his eyes heated as he looked into the Holy Maiden’s eyes.

"Little enchantress, are you trying to make me... explode?"

"How could you explode? Aren’t you supposed to have good self-control, Yifei? You’re being a little dishonest."

Li Yifei took two deep breaths, his nose and mouth filled with the Holy Maiden’s fragrance, which further unsettled him. Several seconds later, Li Yifei let out a breath, flopped onto the side with a sigh, feeling deflated, and said softly, "Being able to see but not taste is truly frustrating."

"Hehe, maybe... we really could give it a try!" The Holy Maiden said.

"Hmm?" Li Yifei tilted his head to look at her.

"The worms inside you—I don’t know the mechanism, but..."

"But what?" Li Yifei asked, sensing that the Holy Maiden was about to reveal something important.

But Li Yifei quickly sat up, as he saw a ship approaching from afar, and slapped the Holy Maiden’s butt, saying, "Someone’s coming. Go change clothes in the cabin."

"Why?"

"Nonsense, I’d feel losing out if others even glimpse your body!" Li Yifei emphasized, and the Holy Maiden walked into the cabin with a smile.
