Beautiful CEO's Top Expert

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan and Kitamura Chiyuki finally saw the man who appeared abruptly.

The man wore a mask of ancient bronze, only showing his mouth and chin, making it impossible to recognize who he was.

Although his identity was unknown, his skills were extremely fierce and venomous, even vicious.

To say he’s a master of lethal martial arts wouldn’t be an exaggeration: the masked man fully embodies it in every movement.

This guy’s moves were not only ruthless but lethal, clearly intent on taking the life of the protector who had brought Ye Xunhuan and Kitamura Chiyuki here!

"Bang!"

The masked man’s right leg fiercely kicked the protector’s chest, sending him flying backward with immense force, and as he slammed heavily onto the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted from his slightly opened mouth!

The next moment, before the protector could get up, the masked man appeared in front of him like a breeze, quickly raising his right foot, and kicked out a textbook-perfect kick!

"Bang!"

Another muffled sound echoed around, followed by the protector being sent flying several meters away.

"Go back and tell the King, I, Ke Qinghong, have returned!" Ke Qinghong said coldly: "Tell him to wash his neck and wait for me!"

The cold voice was filled with intense killing intent, and Ke Qinghong seemed as sharp as an unsheathed sword, giving off an overwhelmingly sharp presence.

The protector slowly climbed up from the ground, his face pale as paper, his chest caved in, clearly severely injured, impossible to recover anytime soon!

"Ke Qinghong, the King will not spare you!" The opponent glared at Ke Qinghong with a sinister gaze, eyes filled with bloodlust.

"If I were you, I would say nothing and just turn around and leave." Ke Qinghong said coldly: "Because saying useless words only brings more suffering upon yourself!"

As the words fell, Ke Qinghong moved!

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Ke Qinghong shot forward like lightning, appearing before the opponent, a leg shadow descended from above like a machete.

Immediately, a biting cold wind hit the opponent, feeling like a knife cutting into him, painfully intense.

Almost instinctively, the opponent raised his arms to block!

"Bang!"

Although the opponent’s arms blocked Ke Qinghong’s kick, the immense force caused him to tremble uncontrollably!

At that moment, Ke Qinghong’s figure spun abruptly, quickly raising his left leg to kick out!

"Crack!"

A heavy kick landed on the man, the sound of bones breaking echoed sharply.

"Clang!"

After being sent flying several meters, he crashed heavily onto the ground, a mouthful of crimson blood spewing from his mouth, his face pallid, almost corpse-like, devoid of blood color, giving a stiff impression.

"You... you..."

The man couldn’t finish his sentence before spitting out another mouthful of crimson blood.

"Get lost!"

At that moment, the man didn’t dare utter another unnecessary word, reluctantly surveying Ke Qinghong twice, he slowly rose and chose to leave.

Once the man left, Ke Qinghong slowly turned towards Ye Xunhuan, a slight smile on his lips, the killing intent vanished without a trace, as though transformed into another person.

"Ye Xunhuan!" Ke Qinghong said casually: "Seems like this is our first meeting!"

"You’re indeed bold, directly taking half his life!"

Ke Qinghong had already introduced himself, so Ye Xunhuan didn’t need to ask who he was!

"We were already at odds, even if I didn’t hurt him, he would never have spared me, so I might as well strike first!" Ke Qinghong said softly: "Just like you, if you don’t provoke the King, will he spare you?"

Ye Xunhuan glanced back and forth at Ke Qinghong, then said lightly, "Since you’ve shown up, why wear a mask? Trying to be mysterious?"

"I don’t want you to see my face, you know what I mean."

Ye Xunhuan understood, Ke Qinghong did not want his identity recognized, even if they met again, unless Ke Qinghong revealed himself, Ye Xunhuan might not recognize him.

"Then why show up?" Ye Xunhuan voiced his doubt.

Ye Xunhuan knew about Ke Qinghong, Qin Fangbin had told him, though only his name, the rest Ye Xunhuan had to find out himself!

"Of course, I came for you." Ke Qinghong raised his foot slowly, walking forward: "Originally thought of going to the capital to find you, but worried about being caught by the King, which would complicate my escape."

"Unexpectedly, you came here, if I didn’t come, wouldn’t I miss this chance."

While speaking, Ke Qinghong reached Ye Xunhuan, looked at him briefly, then shifted his gaze to the tombstone of the Evil Monarch!

"You were once gloriously dominant, but now..."

As Ke Qinghong spoke, he sighed slightly, a sense of unprecedented helplessness on his face, even his eyes showed a trace of nostalgia, as if reminiscing about the Evil Monarch.

"Did you know the Evil Monarch?"

"Of course!" Ke Qinghong replied without turning, staring at the tombstone: "I belong to that era, having experienced all those events!"

"I might as well tell you, I used to be a protector, holding Xun Wanli’s position!"

Ye Xunhuan’s face immediately revealed undeniable astonishment.

Ke Qinghong was previously a protector, even holding Xun Wanli’s position, meaning he was second-in-command among the protectors, effectively a core figure within the group.

He was surely a prominent figure within Storm!

But why was he now an enemy of the protectors, opposing the King?

A series of questions arose in Ye Xunhuan’s mind.

Before Ye Xunhuan could speak, Ke Qinghong continued, "Want to know why, given my past with the protectors and considerable status, I ended up here?"

Ye Xunhuan nodded directly, "Indeed!"

"Who desires turmoil when happiness is possible?" Ke Qinghong sighed, full of helplessness.

This sigh seemed to transcend past and present, extraordinarily long!
