Chapter 2115 - 2116: Broken Cliff Residence, The Assault
In Flower City, the Dragon Head was still sitting in the café, and in that large café he was the only customer. Not only did it make the place look empty, it also felt extremely quiet!
Suddenly, the phone placed on the table buzzed twice.
The next moment, the Dragon Head hurriedly picked up the phone and took a look. When he saw the text message on the screen, he let out a stuffy breath from his chest. "The moment has finally come!"
As soon as the Dragon Head’s voice fell, a ghostlike figure whooshed into appearance right in front of him.
"He’s gone in?"
"Almost." The Dragon Head said softly, "Get ready. If he succeeds, we move to receive him and get him to bring the person out from inside and escape as fast as possible."
"Everything’s ready."
"Keep an eye on the Monarch. If something happens at Broken Cliff Residence, the Monarch will absolutely fly into a rage, won’t be able to sit still, and will come to Flower City in person." The Dragon Head’s face was filled with deep worry. "When that happens, we absolutely cannot let him find Xunhuan, or there will be endless trouble!"
"I understand!" the man said at once. "It’s just, isn’t this a little rushed right now?"
"It is rushed!" The Dragon Head nodded slightly. "But what can we do? Six hundred million meters’ worth of radioactive poison is not a joke!"
"We can spend a billion to develop an antidote!"
"Yes, we can develop it." The Dragon Head sighed softly. "But are we really going to just let him drift outside forever and not come home?"
"And arranging it like this also gives them more chances to interact. Isn’t that better?"
Hearing this, the man fell silent.
After a brief silence, the man spoke again. "Are you still going back to the capital?"
"You think I’m in the mood to go back to the capital?" The Dragon Head said, somewhat worried. "Broken Cliff Residence is a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den. He’s charging in there, and he’s injured on top of that. Can he really come back in one piece?"
"You’re afraid he’ll die?"
"Terrified." The Dragon Head did nothing to hide his true feelings. "He’s my nephew. I watched him grow up, watched him climb step by step to where he is today!"
"I’ve already treated him as my own son, as my reason for living. If he dies, my world will collapse in an instant!"
The Dragon Head had never married and had no children. It’s no exaggeration to say that all of his heart and soul were poured into Ye Xunhuan. From Ye Xunhuan’s first babbling words until now, the Dragon Head had witnessed it all.
Although Ye Xunhuan was only his nephew, in his heart there was no difference between him and a son.
If Ye Xunhuan died, everything he had would be gone.
Of course, he would still be the Dragon Head, but that wasn’t what he wanted.
What he wanted was for Ye Xunhuan to live, for Ye Xunhuan to slap those people in the face and let them know that even a "good‑for‑nothing" can rise, to let them see how foolish and ignorant their decision back then had been.
If Ye Xunhuan died, all of that would shatter.
Sometimes the Dragon Head even thought, why not let Ye Xunhuan live an ordinary life? Why not let him obediently be a second‑generation rich kid? Wouldn’t that be better?
At least he’d live longer, and his life wouldn’t be like it is now—like a lone skiff in the middle of a vast sea, tossed through endless tempests.
One wave hasn’t even finished, and the next has already crashed over.
And Ye Xunhuan is still so young, yet he’s carrying so much on his shoulders, including things that never should have been his burden in the first place.
But now he bears them all.
Watching Ye Xunhuan fight alone, watching him struggle abroad by himself, the Dragon Head’s heart bled. He had even wanted, at the time, to call Ye Xunhuan back and personally shield him.
The man understood the Dragon Head’s feelings for Ye Xunhuan. Seeing him like this now, he couldn’t help but sigh. "Everything will turn out fine. You should have faith in him."
"His life is hard to snuff out. Back then even the Monarch couldn’t calculate him to death; he won’t die now either. He still has to clear his mother’s name!" the man said heavily. "He still has to reclaim the dignity that should have belonged to him!"
The Dragon Head let out a slight sigh. "I know. Let’s go wait for him. The second he comes out, we charge in and carve a path. Get him out of there!"
As he spoke, a deep, unshakable resolve appeared on the Dragon Head’s face.
Though the Dragon Head had said he couldn’t go to Broken Cliff Residence, the moment Ye Xunhuan showed himself, he would immediately lead men in, fighting their way over to cover Ye Xunhuan’s retreat and help him escape as fast as possible—even if it cost him his own life.
Then the Dragon Head stood straight up and strode toward the outside.
The man looked at the Dragon Head’s departing back and sighed quietly. "It’s all fate."
As his voice fell, the man whooshed and vanished into thin air, as if he had never appeared at all.
At the same time, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia had already swum out of the lake.
The woman hadn’t lied to Ye Xunhuan and Olivia; sure enough, you could reach another place from the lake.
As for whether this was Broken Cliff Residence, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia had no idea.
But the scenery here was incredibly beautiful, with rare and exotic plants everywhere. Fragrance drifted in the air, and just one breath made a person’s spirit jolt.
Ye Xunhuan and Olivia moved forward like thieves, sneaking along in absolute secrecy.
They weren’t stupid enough to just keep walking forward either; instead, they advanced in fits and starts, stopping from time to time to hide from something.
"This place is really something, absolutely a paradise on earth." Olivia said quietly, "If I could retire here in the future and be buried here, that’d be pretty nice!"
"Who knows, maybe this time we really will end up burying you here."
"Then it’d still be worth it for your auntie. Not just anyone qualifies to be buried in a feng‑shui treasure like this!" Olivia shot back at once.
Suddenly, a faint rustling of footsteps reached their ears, making Ye Xunhuan swallow back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.
At once, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia hid in a clump of flowers and peeked out, immediately spotting three men walking over from not far away.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan immediately made a series of hand signals to Olivia.
The meaning was simple: three targets—could the two of them take them out fast, without alerting anyone?
But Olivia stopped him.
Are you kidding? If this really was Broken Cliff Residence, those three in front of them were very likely experts at the Heaven‑Man Realm. How could they be that easy to kill?
Let alone kill them without making a sound.
Even though Ye Xunhuan and Olivia could launch a sneak attack, Olivia felt the odds were definitely not great!
But Ye Xunhuan didn’t accept Olivia’s suggestion to keep observing; he still decided to make a move.
That left Olivia completely helpless inside.
Just as the three of them walked past Ye Xunhuan and Olivia, a sharp light flashed in Ye Xunhuan’s eyes. His whole body was like a beast that had lain in ambush for far too long, and he suddenly pounced!
