422: Chapter 417: The Strategy of the Lin Family 422: Chapter 417: The Strategy of the Lin Family Ye Tian began to use the rusty knife to carve the small stick…
“I really wasn’t wrong!”
While carving the small stick, Ye Tian couldn’t stop exclaiming.
Just as he had expected, the knife taken from Bai Hu’s belly was a sharp divine weapon, one should not be fooled by its rusty appearance; in fact, even covered in rust, the knife could carve through iron as if it were mud.
The heart of the millennium ancient tree was no ordinary thing, it seemed to be just a small stick, but its hardness was no less than that of alloy steel.
Therefore, ordinary iron tools would not be able to carve the stick at all, but this knife could, although the carving process was very slow.
Moreover, carving this small stick wasn’t an easy task for Ye Tian, as he had to use his clairvoyant ability while doing so, because without the ability to clearly see the internal patterns of the stick, it would be impossible for him to make a cut.
It was like “butchering an ox,” where knowing the internal structure is necessary before making external cuts…
The millennium ancient tree was rare and precious, a treasure that was hard to find in the Primeval Forest, and Ye Tian couldn’t afford to waste it during the carving process.
Thus, Ye Tian was exceptionally serious, blocking out all his senses except for sight, with only his eyes and hands working!
Fully focused, he was totally absorbed in the task!
Suddenly, Ye Tian felt as if his thoughts had been pulled into something!
When he came to his senses again, Ye Tian seemed to have witnessed the vicissitudes of the ancient tree’s life…
It truly was an ancient tree of a thousand years, which had grown strong and tall at a time when civilisation was not even present on Earth!
As the years passed day by day, seas turned into mulberry fields, and clouds drifted past the sky.
Yet only this ancient tree remained standing, weathering thousands of years of wind and rain, witnessing the changes of civilisations over thousands of years…
Until struck by lightning, the tree came to the end of its ancient life, with only the core in Ye Tian’s hand continuing the life of the ancient tree.
While Ye Tian was carefully carving the core of the ancient tree, Lin Tao, the third young master of the Lin Corporation, had already returned to the Lin Family.
When Lin Tao went to Jiang City, he was a suave and dashing young man, but after returning to his homeland, both of his legs had been crippled by someone.
Not only that, the expert Mamba summoned from Jiang City had been defeated, and even Casey and his team, the pride of Lin Corporation’s operators, had suffered a defeat in Jiang City, resulting in the loss of several hundred million yuan in funds.
For the Lin Corporation, the actions of Lin Tao and his subordinates were utterly shameful!
“Trash!
Lin Tao, from now on, you have no right to call yourself a member of the Lin family!”
The president of Lin Corporation and the Lin Family’s Clan Leader, Lin Hui, angrily stated, as Lin Tao’s consecutive defeats in Jiang City were a complete disgrace to the Lin Family.
Of course, what Lin Hui found unforgivable was not his descendant Lin Tao but Ye Tian, who had utterly humiliated the Lin Corporation.
To think that someone from a small place like Jiang City would dare to challenge Ye Tian, he truly didn’t take the Lin Family seriously.
“Clan Leader, you must stand up for me!
I’ve lost face for the Lin family, and of course, I have no right to claim to be a descendant of the Lin family, but that guy Ye Tian, I hate him to the bone.
If I don’t take care of him, I’ll never die in peace!”
Sitting in a wheelchair, Lin Tao pleaded earnestly with Lin Hui.
For Lin Tao, even if he was expelled from the Lin Family, he had to eradicate Ye Tian to quell the hatred in his heart!
“Lin Tao, you useless trash, even if you don’t mention it, the Lin Family will not let Ye Tian off.
Kevin, go find out where Ye Tian is right now, use the Di Wang’s account to search!”
Lin Hui called his confidant Kevin over, who was the strongest intelligence agent in the Lin Corporation.
What made Kevin most impressive was that he could access Di Wang’s login ID, and Di Wang, like Tian Wang, was one of the world’s top intelligence agencies.
It could reveal quite a bit of information, and not many people knew about Di Wang.
Moreover, each inquiry would cost a high intelligence fee.
“Clan Leader, do we really need to use Di Wang for just a Ye Tian?”
Kevin asked in surprise, but Lin Hui nodded firmly.
“Yes, we will use Di Wang.
Ye Tian must disappear from this world for good!”
Lin Hui’s words were filled with rage towards Ye Tian.
Kevin immediately took the order and left.
Not long after, he returned with surprising news.
“Clan Leader, Ye Tian is currently in Los Angeles, America!”
“What?!
That close!?”
Lin Hui was shocked, and Lin Tao also heard the news about Ye Tian being in America.
This guy, shouldn’t he be enjoying his easy life in Jiangcheng?
How dare he come to America, what exactly is his purpose?
“This guy actually walked right into the trap.
This time, we must make sure he has no way back!”
Lin Tao said viciously, wishing he could devour Ye Tian whole.
“To dare barge into our territory, this Ye Tian, he simply doesn’t take our Lin Family seriously!”
Lin Hui said viciously, as Ye Tian, a minor figure, had repeatedly humiliated the Lin Family, and now, had even walked right into the trap…
“Kevin, where is Ye Tian in Los Angeles?” Lin Hui asked again.
“At the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles, and I’ve even found out his room number!”
Kevin, as an intelligence expert, had found out everything that Lin Hui wanted to know.
“Now that the guy has arrived, let’s mobilize the family’s elite fighters and attack him en masse.
It’s going to be a case of many against one, and this time, we definitely can’t let it end up like with Mamba!”
Lin Hui spoke loudly, and from below, someone voiced opposition.
This person was none other than the Lin Group’s second son, Lin Hong!
“Clan Leader, I have heard of Ye Tian’s strength.
Although Mamba is considered among the top fighters, he simply stood no chance in front of Ye Tian.
Ye Tian defeated him effortlessly.
Although there are plenty in the family stronger than Mamba, they are not that much stronger.
Therefore, I reckon, even if we gather all the elite fighters from the family, I fear they would still be no match for Ye Tian!”
Unlike Lin Tao, Lin Hong was meticulous in his thinking, always considering possibilities and following leads.
Lin Tao, unsatisfied, said, “Lin Hong, why do you boost the morale of others and undermine our own prestige?”
Faced with Lin Tao’s questioning, Lin Hong gave a cold laugh and said, “It’s precisely because of someone like you, who causes more harm than good, that our Lin Group has been humiliated.
Now, since you’ve been removed from the family by the Clan Leader, you no longer have the right to speak.
This is the family’s council chamber, and you have no place to say anything here.”
Lin Tao, humiliated by Lin Hong’s backlash, fell silent.
And Lin Hui, compared to Lin Tao, still preferred the patient and meticulous Lin Hong…
More importantly, Lin Hong’s words seemed to contain even more critical clues!
“Lin Hong, since Ye Tian is so powerful, what should we do?
If the idea of throwing our best fighters at him won’t work, do you have any other methods?
Surely, we can’t just set traps or resort to using snipers?”
Lin Hui asked curiously.
Even if Ye Tian was incredibly strong, they couldn’t just let him be, could they?
If they did so, where would the Lin Group’s dignity stand?
Lin Hong also revealed a smile before saying, “Clan Leader, since Ye Tian is a top-notch expert, to deal with him, we need to find someone even more formidable!”
“But where do we find such experts?
And who in this world is the ultimate expert, who really knows?”
Lin Hui sighed as he spoke.
Although Lin Hong’s words sounded good, their value was limited.
Everybody knows that to fight an expert, you need an even better one, but where in the world are so many formidable experts?
And how could such experts be willing to serve one’s purposes?
“About this matter, Clan Leader, you don’t need to worry!”
Lin Hong said confidently, his words suggesting that he knew some insider information.
“Clan Leader, I have heard that in the underworld, there are three top-notch experts.
The first is known as the King of Hell, the second as the King of the Night, and the third as the Rakshasa Queen.
Together, they are known as the ‘Two Kings and a Queen’, consisting of two men and one woman, the ultimate experts of this world.
It is said that their strengths have long surpassed human limits.
Although we don’t know their whereabouts, if we can find even one of them, wouldn’t it be like crushing an ant to dispose of an insignificant Ye Tian?”
“Two Kings and a Queen?
Are there really such people?”
Lin Hong’s words left Lin Hui feeling befuddled, almost as if he was listening to a myth or legend.
“Yes, Clan Leader, these three experts are indeed the strongest in this world.
I have also tried to search for their whereabouts with the ‘Earth Net’, hoping to win over one or two of them, but the ‘Earth Net’ couldn’t find them.
Only a ‘Sky Net’ that is one level higher could possibly locate them.
Sadly, accessing a Sky Net ID is as precious as gold, and even the Lin Group can’t get ahold of one.”
Lin Hong sighed, lamenting his efforts on behalf of the family, which at the end seemed to be in vain.
Lin Hui concurred with Lin Hong’s words and said, “Lin Hong, this task is yours to undertake.
With the ‘Two Kings and a Queen’, if we can win over one of them, it would be of great advantage to our Lin Group.
Regardless of how excessive their demands may be, as long as such an expert is willing to help, no matter the cost, I am willing to pay!”
Lin Hui asserted fiercely, believing that any amount of money was trivial if it meant taking down Ye Tian.
What is a little cash to the mighty Lin Group?
