Chapter 306: Ming Jian
Chapter 306: Ming Jian
In a luxurious room, a man who looked to be in his thirties was looking outside through the large windows. His eyes were filled with worry, as if a great burden weighed heavily on his shoulders.
Knock.
A soft knock sounded on the door, interrupting his thoughts. He turned to see his assistant, Ming Zhi, enter.
It was a man in his mid-20s, wearing a crisp suit and walking with a calm demeanor.
"Patriarch," the assistant called.
"What is it, Ming Zhi?" the man asked in a calm tone.
"I just got news that the young lady invited a guest to the mansion just a moment ago."
"Oh, who is it?" Ming Jian asked with a raised eyebrow, intrigued by the guest that his daughter had invited.
Ming Ming, never invited guests over to her home, so it came as a pleasant surprise for Ming Jian.
This man was none other than Ming Ming's father, Ming Jian, the current head of the Ming family.
Ming Zhi hesitated before replying, "It is a young man..."
Before he could continue, a loud bang echoed through the room as Ming Jian's palm hit the table in frustration.
The strength behind his blow wasn't what a normal human could muster.
"A young man? What business does he have here?" Ming Jian demanded, his voice quickly changing.
Ming Zhi sighed nervously, knowing that Ming Jian's temper was about to erupt again.
It wasn't the first time that Ming Jian had expressed this kind of temper when it concerned his daughter's relationships.
Despite his strict demeanor, Ming Jian's love for Ming Ming was evident in the way he always tried to protect her. He didn't like any man around his daughter, believing that no one was worthy of her.
"Ming Zhi, I want every piece of information about that boy who cameāhis family, and the purpose of his visit. I want everything investigated and reported back to me immediately," Ming Jian continued, his eyes narrowing.
Ming Zhi could only nod, knowing that there was no use arguing with Ming Jian when he was in this state.
He quickly left to carry out his orders, promising to return with all the necessary information in 20 minutes.
Ming Jian watched Ming Zhi leave, his mind already plotting the best course of action to protect his daughter.
'Whoever you are, if you have any bad intentions towards my daughter, you will soon regret it,' Ming Jian thought, his fists clenched in determination.

Whoooshhh~~
"Are you sure it's in this direction?" Chen Tian asked Wu Ye. He glanced down from the sky, trying to locate the people that she had found.
"I am 100% sure; they are still within the city," replied Wu Ye, her divine sense having already locked onto both Jony and the team leader location.
After what happened in the parking lot, both of them left without anyone noticing, then went and booked a hotel room in the city to rest and prepare for their next plan.
Chen Tian nodded, his expression hardening as many thoughts raced through his mind.
Swiishhh~!
The sword under his feet trembled as he flew towards their location, resolve burning in his eyes. With a deep breath, he soared into the sky, following Wu Ye's lead as he tracked down their targets.
Inside a room at the hotel, Jony and the team leader were discussing their next move.
Suddenly, the phone rang, breaking the intense discussion between Jony and the team leader.
"Shit, what now?" The team leader panicked after seeing the caller ID. Failing their mission was not an option, or they would face dire consequences.
Jony was just a peak martial artist, yet to achieve the level of a Divine martial artist. The Kim family wasn't something an insignificant bug like him could take lightly.
They have many Divine martial artists in their ranks, and one wrong move could mean the end of him.
"Let's stay calm and let me handle this," the team leader said, trying to soothe the tension in the room. He picked up the phone to listen to the voice on the other end.
"Are you done?" It was a simple question, but it still made the heart of the team leader and Jony race with anxiety.
Both of them knew that any misstep in this high-stakes situation could lead to their deaths.
"A-About the mission," the team leader stammered, trying to buy some time to come up with a convincing answer.
The voice on the other end remained silent, waiting for his response.
"I asked if you were done with your mission. Did you catch that girl, yes or no?" the voice said sternly.
The team leader felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead as he hesitated. He knew he couldn't lie, as the consequences would be severe.
So he responded truthfully, "No, we haven't caught her yet. A problem did happen." The silence on the other end was deafening.
"Repeat that again?" the voice demanded.
The team leader could sense behind that sound a killing intent, as if the consequences of failing this mission were about to become very real.
Jony also swallowed hard.
"We were close to capturing her, but we thought that she was an ordinary woman. Who would have thought that she was a martial artist and that she wasn't alone!
But we still managed to take her down. She put up a good fight, but we were able to subdue her.
Yet who would have thought that she had outside help and managed to escape?" The team leader explained everything that had happened while Jony listened intently, feeling a sense of dread creeping over him.
The voice on the other end remained silent for a few more moments before finally responding, "Who would have thought that she was a martial artist?
Good, young master Feng Lie would be pleased to hear about this." The voice seemed pleased by this information.
"I'll give you one more chance to rectify this situation. Do not fail me again. This time, I will send you two Divine Martial artists to help."
Hearing this, both Jony and the team leader felt a mixture of relief and joy.
With the assistance of Divine Martial artists, they wouldn't have a problem capturing Emilia and bringing her back.
The difference between a Martial artist and a Divine Martial artist was like comparing a candle to the blazing sun. Your next read is at M V L
The power of a Divine Martial artist was unmatched, and having two on their side reassured Jony and the team leader.
"Yes, we will make sure not to disappoint you," the team leader said confidently.
"Good. In two days, the two Divine Martial artists will arrive in your city to help. I give you a week to bring her back. No failure is acceptable, or you know what will happen," the voice said firmly.
"Sure!" The team leader immediately nodded.
With that, the phone was disconnected, leaving Jony and the team leader to contemplate the task ahead. The pressure was on; failure meant risking their lives.
"Fucking bitches. This time, if I get my hands on them, I will make sure to crush their bodies into pieces!" Jony growled, clenching his fists in anger.
"You can do whatever you want with that blonde woman, but you can't touch the other one, or it's over with us. The Kim family wants her back unharmed," the team leader reminded Jony sternly.
Jony took a deep breath to calm his rage.
"Fine, I get it. We'll do this clean," he replied with determination. He was still pissed after both Aria and Emilia injured him.
As they spoke, both of them didn't notice that someone was listening to their conversation.
"The Kim family, heh, if that's what you want, then I will be sure to deliver the message loud and clear," Chen Tian was hovering in the sky, close to the room.
He had heard everything that had been said between the team leader and the mysterious person on the phone.
He smirked to himself and was pissed off. Not only that, but he could tell from that voice that he looked at Emilia as an object to be traded. Chen Tian clenched his fists, a deep anger boiling inside of him.
Chen Tian turned his head and looked at the team leader and Jony inside.
A devilish smile crept across his face. 'Since two more Divine Martial artists are coming, I might as well deal with both of you now.'
With that, a pure burst of Qi erupted from Chen Tian's body, surrounding him in a powerful aura. Chen Tian swiftly moved his palm and created a transparent barrier around the room without anyone noticing a change.
This barrier effectively muted all sound from entering or leaving the room, ensuring that whatever he does inside will remain a secret. It also enhanced the walls, making them impenetrable to any outside interference. The leader and Jony were trapped inside.
With that, Chen Tian smirked, and fire danced in his eyes as he moved towards them.
