“Women as beautiful as Sister Hua, you can’t get enough of them in a lifetime,” Ye Xiong chuckled.

“Cut the crap, get out now, or Sister’s going to get angry,” Du Yuehua put on a stern face, feigning anger.

“Goodbye, Sister Hua,” Ye Xiong smiled, turned around, and left.

Afterwards, Ye Xiong roamed around the hotel, flirting with the receptionist, sharing adult jokes with the staff, and having a great time.

Suddenly, a figure caught his attention.

It was a woman dressed entirely in black: a black cloak, black leather pants, and black leather boots; her short, ear-length hair gave her a very aloof look that made her seem unapproachable.

She sat there quietly, with large sunglasses almost completely covering half of her face, looking very mysterious!

Ye Xiong’s face twitched, and he made his way through the long crowd to sit opposite her.

Phoenix took off her sunglasses to reveal her clean, cold face, staring at Ye Xiong as if trying to see through him.

Regrettably, Ye Xiong showed no expression throughout, as if she didn’t exist at all.

The two sat in silence until Phoenix couldn’t help but speak.

“In Huai River, Pearl River, and the Ning Province area, mysterious individuals with superhuman abilities have appeared, immune to bullets and bladed attacks; only by severing their heads can they be killed. To deal with these monsters, the organization has sacrificed more than a dozen members and suffered heavy losses…”

Ye Xiong picked up a teacup from the table, slowly poured himself some tea, and began to drink leisurely, as if he hadn’t heard a word she said.

“These mysterious individuals have a cruel nature and almost no self-control; none of them have identities within the borders. We found, through one captured individual, that their bodies carry mutated genes, different from normal humans. Therefore, we suspect that there are terrorist organizations abroad, conducting genetic experiments, and even within Huaxia Country, they have established gene research institutes to engage in anti-human biochemical tests.”

“What you’re saying has nothing to do with me,” Ye Xiong’s face revealed a faint cold smile as he poured another cup and placed it in front of her, “If you came as a friend to have a chat and talk about romance, I’d be very happy, but if you came to lobby, sorry, please leave.”

“Reaper, you were one of the finest soldiers; can you really watch these things happen and remain indifferent?” Phoenix’s emotion was slightly agitated.

“I’m not a soldier, just a hotel manager, and besides, I quite like my current life.” Ye Xiong raised his cup and said, “I’ll toast to you with tea instead of liquor, thank you for having looked after me before.”

“Reaper…”

“My name is now Ye Xiong, I hope you don’t get it wrong.”

Seeing the resolute look on Ye Xiong’s face, a trace of sadness appeared in Phoenix’s eyes, as if she had thousands of words she couldn’t express.

“Ye Xiong, the organization needs you now, the chief needs you, he has promised that if you return, any request you might have will be met. The chief has even formed a new team, just waiting for you to return, even waiting for you to name it,” Phoenix said.

“The organization can satisfy any wish of mine?”

“As long as it’s not illegal or against morality.”

“What if I asked you to sleep with me?” Ye Xiong’s lips curved into a sly smile.

Phoenix, the first beauty of the Dragon Source Organization, was the object of desire in countless men’s dreams. Even the former Reaper had ambitions toward her. Unfortunately, with her formidable skills and high position, no man dared to approach her with such intentions, making her like an untouchable golden flower of Dragon Source.

He wanted to see what choice the patriotically fervent Phoenix would make when faced with a request like his.

“As long as you are willing to come back, not just my body, but everything I have can be yours,” Phoenix said with determination.

Ye Xiong’s gaze fell on Phoenix’s exquisitely shaped body and he finally laughed, “Sorry, I was just talking, not interested.”

“You…” Phoenix’s face began to look upset.

When he was under her command, Ye Xiong had taken countless jabs at her. He hadn’t expected that leaving would leave his character unchanged.

“I’m still busy, I need to leave now,” Ye Xiong said, standing up.

“There’s one more thing I want to discuss with you.”

“Speak.”

“Do you remember the incident when you and your team were captured alive by an overseas mercenary group and all encountered disaster?” Phoenix asked.

Ye Xiong’s fists clenched tightly, his eyes flashing with angry flames.

If it wasn’t for the organization’s intelligence failure, his team wouldn’t have died, he wouldn’t have been captured alive, and he certainly wouldn’t have ended up buried underground for a month, miraculously surviving.

“You were buried underground for half a month and miraculously survived, a normal person could not have lived that long under those conditions.”

“That was Heaven taking pity on me, letting me survive,” Ye Xiong said fiercely.

“The commander suspects they planted genes in you, he wants you to go back for an examination.”

“Are you suggesting that I am no different from those mysterious creatures you killed, that neither of us is normal?” Ye Xiong asked with a cold laugh.

“It’s just a speculation, you need to go back and get thoroughly checked to know for sure.”

“I have to say, your lying skills have improved to make me return. Your lies are getting bolder,” Ye Xiong couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, standing up with his hands on the table, looking at her intently, and jokingly said, “You must have watched too many sci-fi movies, now talking about Gene Warriors. Next time come up with a more mature excuse, don’t be so lowbrow.”

After finishing his words, Ye Xiong left directly.

Seeing Ye Xiong leave, Phoenix sighed helplessly.

At that moment, a young girl came up from behind Phoenix.

The girl was only around twenty years old, but she exuded an air of maturity beyond her years, as if she had lived through ages. She was about the same height as Phoenix, around 1.7 meters, with short, bobbed hair, and bangs obscuring half her face, revealing only half of her fair and lovely visage.

From the looks alone, she was an extremely proud and indifferent beauty, even more so than Phoenix in her arrogance.

“That’s Reaper?”

The girl stared intensely at the back of the departing Ye Xiong, almost squeezing these three words through her teeth.

“That’s him, once the strongest team member, the only person in Huaxia Country to make it into the international ranks of righteousness, and the leader for the new squad designated by the commander,” Phoenix replied.

“Seems like no different from a regular thug,” the girl said dismissively, murmuring, “The commander giving him the opportunity is an honor for him. It’s disgraceful that he doesn’t show any gratitude. I’ll go and drag him back.”

Having said that, the girl hurried after him.

“Vermilion Bird, don’t be impulsive, he’s not someone you can handle,” Phoenix quickly stood up, wanting to follow.

“Miss, you haven’t settled the bill yet?” the waiter reminded.

Phoenix quickly pulled out her wallet, paid the bill, and then continued the chase.

Although Vermilion Bird was the strongest young member of the team, she was still too young and impulsive and lacked societal experience; Phoenix truly feared she would provoke Ye Xiong.

The number of people in the entire Huaxia who could force Reaper to return by using martial power wouldn’t exceed five, and even herself wasn’t sure she could do it, let alone Vermilion Bird.
