Chapter 2 Global Tremors

The leaders of all the major powers and top organizations on Earth stayed up all night, anxiously monitoring the Dragon King's Hall's movements.

The Dragon King's Hall had mobilized all its forces, their destination unknown!

The Dragon King of the Dragon King's Hall had departed the battlefield directly, exuding an overwhelming killing intent!

That night, everyone was on edge, haunted by their own fears. The power displayed by the Dragon King's Hall was too terrifying, instilling a deep dread in all of them.

Only at this moment did they realize that the Dragon King's Hall had only used a tenth of its strength in their contention for the world's top spot against the Night Legion!

And now, all of the Dragon King's Hall's forces were in motion.

What did the Dragon King intend to do? Who had angered him to the point of radiating such killing intent? Did he intend to start a world war?

"Investigate quickly! Deploy all your informants worldwide to find out what the Dragon King is up to. Also, contact those within the Dragon King's Hall with whom we have good relations and ask them what their King is planning!"

Countless leaders of major factions issued orders with identical content. They wanted to know the Dragon King's intentions, and whether they were the target of annihilation.

Despite knowing that the Dragon King's Hall's current movements were exceptionally significant, with aircraft, land vehicles, and massive ships, they could only detect the Dragon King's Hall's whereabouts using their own satellite radar.

However, they dared not! They were afraid!

They feared that their actions would provoke the Dragon King, and that they would be annihilated by his wrath.

Thus, they could only resort to the most primitive methods.

At this moment, at the Da Qin Kingdom's headquarters, all of Da Qin's high-ranking officials were ashen-faced.

This was because they had just received news that aircraft from the Dragon King's Hall had breached Da Qin's territory!

The Dragon King's Hall's target this time was them, Da Qin!

"What in the world happened? Can anyone tell me what is going on? Why has the Dragon King's Hall suddenly descended upon Qin?"

In the Da Qin Kingdom's supreme command center, the First Commander of the Military, Li Shanhai, was pale and filled with urgency and fear.

"Commander, our border has detected a fleet from the Dragon King's Hall. The border troops have sent an urgent telegram requesting instructions on whether to intercept."

In the hall, a staff member, his face ashen, reported to Li Shanhai, his voice trembling.

"What?!" Li Shanhai stiffened, slumping back into his seat. But then he abruptly stood up, glaring fiercely at the staff member who had reported to him.

"Do not intercept! Do not open fire! Send people to negotiate with them and ask them their purpose!"

After speaking, Li Shanhai slumped back into his seat, his face filled with apprehension.

The Dragon King's Hall engaging in war with Da Qin? It couldn't be! Li Shanhai gave a wry smile.

The Dragon King's Hall and Da Qin had always been allies, with numerous collaborations. He had even met the Dragon King, Li Xiaotian. The man was not someone who disregarded righteousness!

But why? What was the reason for this?

"Commander, the Jiangnan War Zone has sent an urgent telegram stating that Dragon King's Hall aircraft have landed in Jiangcheng, Jiangnan! Currently, there are no signs of firing. Commander, please instruct whether to expel the Dragon King's Hall forces?"

"Hmph!" Li Shanhai stood up abruptly, looking at the intelligence officer with urgency.

"Jiangcheng, Jiangnan? A mere third-tier city? Has the Dragon King himself also descended?"

"Commander, the personnel from the Dragon King's Hall have sealed off an area within a thousand-mile radius. We are unsure if the Dragon King himself has descended," the intelligence officer reported with a troubled expression.

Li Shanhai's expression was complex. He rubbed his forehead fiercely. What was the Dragon King trying to do? Descending upon Jiangcheng without firing, but with all Dragon King's Hall personnel gathered in Da Qin. What had happened?

"Commander, the Jiangnan War Zone is requesting instructions on whether to expel them," the staff member said, thinking of the urgent intelligence from the Jiangnan War Zone. He hesitated before speaking again, but Li Shanhai interrupted him.

"Expel them? Nonsense! Is Jiang Hai's Jiangnan War Zone a match for the Dragon King's Hall? Even if his entire Jiangnan War Zone were buried, it would only be like scratching an itch for the Dragon King's Hall!"

Li Shanhai cursed. If the Dragon King's Hall had no intention of fighting, then they should absolutely not provoke them. These fools, still thinking of expelling the Dragon King's Hall forces, as if the situation wasn't already dire enough!

"Tell Jiang Hai to personally go and contact the people from the Dragon King's Hall. Maintain a respectful attitude and inquire what the Dragon King's intentions are. No! Prepare a plane for me. I will go myself!"

Li Shanhai said, and immediately got up to depart. The Dragon King's Hall had created such a huge commotion, causing the high-ranking officials of Da Qin to be sleepless. The Da Qin Sovereign was also awaiting his reply. He had to personally go and ascertain the situation, otherwise, Da Qin's heart would not be at peace!

That night, the night was exceptionally cold.

Jiangcheng, Jiangnan. The Ye Family.

Ye Qingcheng huddled in a small dark room in the basement, trembling all over, crying incessantly. Her delicate face was streaked with tears.

What should she do? She had no idea!

She had no other recourse, which was why she called the number Li Xiaotian had left her. Of course, she understood that it was just her fantasy.

The King of an international top-tier force, willing to be a live-in son-in-law for the Ye family? Enduring all sorts of humiliation in the Ye family for two years, enduring her coldness and neglect for two years!

Heh, Ye Qingmei thought bitterly. She was truly desperate to recall the coward's lies from back then.

However, at this moment, she truly wished that his words were true. Only then could her daughter be saved!

"Crash!" The iron door of the room was kicked open. Ye Qingmei looked at the person who had entered and immediately crawled towards him on her knees.

"Brother, I beg you, please save Tiantian. She is your niece! I was wrong, I know I was wrong. As long as you save Tiantian, from now on, I will obediently listen to the Ye family and will not object in the slightest."

"Scram, you bitch!" Ye Qilin, whom Ye Qingmei referred to as her brother, kicked Ye Qingmei away, his eyes filled with disgust.

"Does that bastard dare to be my niece? Ye Qingmei, don't forget your identity. You are just a dog adopted by our Ye family! You have no blood relation to our Ye family. Back then, you, relying on the old man's favor, willfully found a wild man."

"Do you know that because of this, our Ye family was ridiculed by the entire Jiangcheng? Fortunately, that good-for-nothing had the self-awareness to leave the Ye family in the end."

"Grandmother intended to use your body to exchange resources for our Ye family, but you, you bitch, secretly gave birth to a wild child. This is a disgrace to our Ye family!"

"Pah! Bitch, disgusting!"

Ye Qingmei wailed, curling up in the corner, muttering to herself.

"No, Tiantian is not a bastard, Tiantian is not a bastard."

"Hmph!" A trace of annoyance flashed in Ye Qilin's eyes. He casually threw the quilt in his hand to Ye Qingmei, then commanded.

"Don't freeze to death! You should be thankful that the bastard's heart is a perfect match for Young Master Wang's body. Otherwise, do you think we would have let you raise that bastard until she was four years old? If her heart wasn't just right to match Young Master Wang's body, she would have died long ago!"

"You behave yourself these few days. Young Master Wang said that you have rendered great service by dedicating your daughter. After he recovers, he can take you as his mistress. This is your honor! And your chance to repay our Ye family!"
