Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 369 - 366: The Depressed Basha!
Chapter 369: Chapter 366: The Depressed Basha!
The Black Forest Jade Mine was Warlord Bashar’s territory!
At this moment, he was sitting on a tiger skin chair, his face the epitome of gloom.
Three things had been causing him grief recently: first, a shipment worth over a hundred million of white goods was seized by Huaxia Customs, and he lost two of his capable subordinates, Gan Jiang.
Secondly, one of his concubines had cheated with a pretty boy. In fact, this matter wasn’t too serious. Men, if they want to get by, having a bit of green on their head is quite normal. Just kill them all, and it’s over. After all, there were plenty of women, and he wouldn’t miss one.
But who knew that the pretty boy turned out to have a brother who was a Muay Thai Master. He had already declared that he would chop off Bashar’s head to avenge his brother.
For his own safety, Bashar decided to hire a Great Wizard from Miao Territory to kill the Muay Thai Master for him.
But that Great Wizard didn’t care for money or women; he only wanted a Magic Artifact. It was for this reason that he had entrusted his son, Ba Kuo, to bid for the Magic Artifact Black Stone Ring at the Black Forest Auction.
Who would have expected that not only did he fail to win the Black Stone Ring, but the three hundred million used for the bid was stolen, and in the process, his son Ba Kuo’s ear was cut off.
Only now did he truly understand the taste of having bad luck so severe that even drinking cold water would get stuck between one’s teeth.
Bashar slammed the table and demanded, "Ba Kuo, you’re saying that the people who bid for the Black Stone Ring, robbed your platinum card, and cut off your ear were two Huaxia people?"
Ba Kuo, covering his freshly reattached ear, trembled as he spoke, "Yes, right, they were two Huaxia people, a man and a woman, both very young looking."
Bashar asked, "Do you know their identities?"
Ba Kuo shook his head, saying, "I don’t know!"
Bashar flew into a rage, kicking the table over as he bellowed, "Useless, absolutely useless. How did I not just shoot you onto the wall instead, giving birth to such a waste like you?"
Just then, his aide Heu Lu rushed over, saying hastily, "Commander, two Huaxia people have come to ask for a meeting, they want to purchase a batch of top-grade jade!"
Upon hearing this, Bashar was taken aback and asked, "Two Huaxia people, what do they look like?"
Heu Lu thought for a moment, then said, "The man’s about twenty or so years old, tall and thin, very fair-skinned. The woman is also around twenty, extremely beautiful!"
Hearing Heu Lu’s answer, Ba Kuo suddenly shouted, "Father, it’s them who took my platinum card and cut off my ear!"
However, due to his excessive agitation, the wound on his ear split open again, causing him to grimace in pain.
Bashar was furious and roared, "These Hua Country people are pushing their luck too far, harming my son and still wanting to talk business. How nice they think!"
"Heu Lu, have your men arrest them. I want to see who has the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, daring to run wild in my territory!"
However, before his words could even finish, a loud "bang" was heard as the guards stationed outside the door were thrown inside, one after another.
Then, two figures slowly walked into their sight.
Seeing the newcomers, Ba Kuo recoiled instinctively, shouting in alarm, "Father, it’s them, seize them quickly, avenge me, avenge me!"
After saying this, he hysterically yelled at the guards beside him, "What are you all waiting for? Go get them, capture them!"
Indeed, the arrivals were Li Chen and Mei Ruohua.
Li Chen coldly glanced at Ba Kuo, who was scared enough to keep retreating, almost tripping and falling to the ground.
"Young Master Ba, I didn’t expect we would meet again so soon. Seems the medical facilities here are quite good, having reattached your ear so quickly. Just not sure, if your head were chopped off, could it still be reattached?"
Hearing Li Chen reopen his old wounds, and in front of his own father no less, openly threatening him, Ba Kuo felt anger boiling up uncontrollably.
"Damn you..."
"Crack!"
Before Ba Kuo could finish his sentence, the table in front of him was split into two by Mei Ruohua drawing her sword.
He was instantly so terrified that his legs trembled, his lips quivered, and he was unable to utter another word.
Seeing Ba Kuo silenced, Li Chen gave a ceremonious bow to Bashar: "Commander Ba, I was just making a little joke with Young Master Ba. I assume someone as generous as you wouldn’t mind?"
Basha’s face was an iron blue as he shouted angrily, "Who the hell are you, and what brings you to my place?"
Li Chen replied indifferently, "Businessman, looking to purchase a batch of top-grade jade from Commander Ba!"
Basha was infuriated, pointing at Ba Kuo he said, "You block the road to rob, hurt my son, and still want to buy jade from me. Do you think I, Basha, am a soft persimmon that anyone can squeeze?"
Li Chen shook his head and said, "Not at all, I have a legitimate reason. I’m sure after hearing it, Commander Ba certainly won’t refuse!"
Basha intrigued, asked, "I’d like to hear it, what legitimate reason do you have?"
Li Chen pointed at Basha, then pointed at himself, and said, "Commander Ba, you and I are ten steps apart. Within ten steps, killing you would be like slaughtering a dog. Is this reason not legitimate enough?"
Basha was completely enraged and roared, "Are you threatening me? Do you really think I, Basha, grew up being scared?"
While talking, he reached for the gun at his waist.
However, before he could disengage the safety, a gorgeous Sword Shadow already slashed through the air.
"Clang!"
A top-quality Browning handgun was forcefully bisected. If it had been just a half inch higher, Basha’s fingers would have been neatly severed as well.
Li Chen found a chair to sit down and asked nonchalantly, "Commander Ba, is it alright now?"
Basha, a generation’s tyrant, was far stronger than his few useless sons. At least when he faced a life and death danger, he maintained enough composure.
"I have tens of thousands of brothers under me, equipped with light and heavy weaponry, even planes and tanks. If you kill me, don’t expect to live to leave the black forest!"
Li Chen let out a cold laugh, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Oh, shall we give it a try then?"
Basha was stunned for a moment, "Try what?"
Li Chen said with a carefree attitude, "What else can it be, killing you, to see if we can survive walking out of the black forest?"
While talking, he called out to Mei Ruohua, "Ruohua!"
Seeing that Li Chen didn’t appear to be joking, Basha believed if he dared utter another defiant word, he was convinced that the woman’s sword definitely would sever his head.
After considering for a while, Basha finally chose to compromise.
He glanced at Mei Ruohua from the corner of his eye for a moment and said, "You want top-grade jade, that’s fine. What price do you intend to offer?"
Li Chen held up three fingers and said, "Three billion!"
Basha shook his head, "I don’t want money."
"Oh, then what do you want?"
This time, it was Li Chen who was surprised, not understanding what Basha was really after.
Basha carefully chose his words and said, "I have an enemy who is a Muay Thai Grandmaster, and he’s been looking for me these last few days. If you can kill him for me, I’ll give you as much jade as you want!"
Li Chen waved his hand and said, "Just to kill a Muay Thai Grandmaster, right? Easy!"
"Ruohua, this assignment is yours!"
Mei Ruohua respectfully replied, "Yes, Young Master!"
Basha said with a stunned face, "The opponent is a Muay Thai Grandmaster, and she’s just one woman. If she rushes in rashly, I fear she’ll just be throwing her life away, no?"
Li Chen waved his hand and said, "That’s not your concern. Find that Muay Thai Grandmaster for us, and leave the rest to us to deal with!"
"Alright, that’s straightforward!" Seeing Li Chen’s resolute tone, Basha slapped his thigh and settled the matter.
Afterward, he waved at his aide-de-camp, "Heu Lu, take a team with you, accompany this beautiful young lady for a trip to find the Muay Thai Grandmaster."
However, even before his words fell to the ground, Mei Ruohua confidently shook her head and said, "No need to trouble yourself, just tell me what this Muay Thai Grandmaster looks like and where he is currently staying. I can solve this on my own."
