Chapter 1496: Fierce Battle
Leading Ye Fan, Zhang Lu and his group, along with Qin Yi’s Longyin Team and Boss Zuo and others.
They surrounded Nagano Yoko and Charles’s residence with heavy troops.
"It’s exactly what we feared would happen." Nagano Yoko’s face darkened, showing a look of helplessness.
The current situation was the worst result, and indeed, the worst had come to pass.
"We should have anticipated this earlier. It’s too late now, transferring is no longer possible." Charles murmured bitterly.
Everyone around Nagano Yoko and Charles had the appearance of facing a formidable enemy, wary of the incoming foes.
Nagano Yoko and Charles forced a smile, then faced Ye Fan and the others.
"Ye Fan, I respect you as a formidable opponent, but what you’ve done lacks the dignity of a true warrior." Nagano Yoko glared at Ye Fan accusingly, "Deception and recklessness, violating the rules, turning the Ancient Painting holding valuable treasures into a useless drawing, and tricking us into exhausting all our resources to bid on it. Such actions are utterly devoid of honor."
Nagano Yoko was the first to attack verbally, trying to reprimand Ye Fan on matters of rules and honor.
"What rules do we have to discuss between us? What honor is there to talk about?" Ye Fan sneered and replied, "Understand one thing, now you are the thieves, and my goal is to annihilate all of you reckless thieves."
He paused, then said with mockery, "Moreover, it was your own foolishness that got you trapped in the scheme I set. You still haven’t acknowledged the reality? Shamelessly using honor to justify yourselves, are you trying to prove your incompetence or your ignorance?"
"Have the nerve to speak of honor, yet you don’t know what fills your mind." Zhang Lu sneered, "You need to understand a simple truth, in front of us, you are despicable thieves. To think you demand mercy from those trying to catch you, you are truly laughable. Can you even utter such words?"
"You..." Nagano Yoko looked at those beside Ye Fan who were sneering and mocking, her anger surged, but she was at a loss for words to defend herself.
"No words left, right? Feeling at a loss for arguments?" Zhang Lu further taunted.
"Those who walk different paths cannot make common cause." Charles signaled to Nagano Yoko and then took over, "No matter what you eloquently say, there’s one point you can’t deny, that you tampered with the Ancient Painting, breaking the rules, which is disgraceful anywhere, and such conduct is inherently detestable."
"Playing a trick on you providing you a reason to retaliate, ha, how laughable, you think standing tall makes you fearless?" Ye Fan said indifferently, "I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, you should be concerned whether you can survive."
With those words, the atmosphere at the scene changed drastically.
Whether it was Zhang Lu, Boss Zuo, or Hose and Ying Zi, they all felt a murderous aura sweeping towards them.
"Ye Fan is indeed remarkable, his words are truth itself, even if he broke the rules, it’s still justified, others can’t argue against it and lack the qualification to debate." Charles laughed bitterly, "However, if you want to kill us, let’s see if you have the capability. Just in terms of numbers, we are certainly not afraid of you."
Despite having a numerical advantage, Charles’s side retained a psychological advantage.
"Mere insects, not worth a strike, what pride is there?" Ye Fan dismissed.
In terms of numbers, Nagano Yoko’s side certainly held an advantage, but when it came to strength, Nagano Yoko and others were far inferior, making the distinction clear.
"Even if it costs us our lives, we’ll make you pay dearly." Nagano Yoko said fiercely.
"Fight to the death." Charles’s gaze was vicious.
"Everyone carries a head on two shoulders, who fears whom." Hose and Ying Zi exuded killing intent.
"Let’s see how competent you are. In a battlefield, it’s not just about courage. Against absolute strength, any boasting is powerless." Ye Fan scanned Nagano Yoko and Charles disdainfully, then ordered, "Leave no survivors, kill."
"Ye Fan, watch closely." Boss Zuo chuckled maliciously, leading Peng Bird and the others to charge.
Qin Yi and Zhang Lu, among others, unleashed their killing intent, fierce and unmatched.
Battle commenced in an instant.
Members from both sides clashed in fierce combat, with screams and cries rising incessantly.
Ye Fan moved across the battlefield, casually killing someone who tried to block him from heading towards Nagano Yoko and Charles, and continued forward, targeting Nagano Yoko and Charles directly.
Nagano Yoko and Charles glared at Ye Fan, aware that Ye Fan alone was their adversary.
They couldn’t target anyone else because Ye Fan wouldn’t allow it.
With their skill, they were sure to cause Zhang Lu and others a great deal of pressure.
Thus, Ye Fan confronting them was inevitable.
"Die." Ye Fan lunged at Nagano Yoko and Charles, his attacks sharp and deadly.
"Ye Fan, you’re too arrogant; let me see how strong you really are." Nagano Yoko roared.
"I won’t disappoint you." Ye Fan replied lightly.
"It’s my fortunate fate to face off with Ye Fan, having heard you are the top fighter in the Underworld, though I am somewhat skeptical as hearsay is unreliable." Charles’s expression was dark.
In moments, Ye Fan engaged in combat with Nagano Yoko and Charles.
"Boom!" A muffled sound erupted as Ye Fan’s punch clashed violently with Nagano Yoko’s attack.
Nagano Yoko grunted angrily, retreating in disarray, her throat sweetening as fresh blood uncontrollably spewed forth.
Simultaneously, Ye Fan’s kick struck Charles.
The fierce kick sent Charles flying.
Charles landed miserably, sliding several meters before barely steadying himself.
Charles was defiant, standing strongly.
Nagano Yoko clutched her wound as she steadied her breath, another mouthful of blood gushing out, painting the air red.
Ye Fan, one against two, effortlessly gained a crushing victory, leaving the two defenseless.
