Chapter 68 - 68 59 Tearing Off the Mask

68: Chapter 59: Tearing Off the Mask 68: Chapter 59: Tearing Off the Mask Back in his room, Li Chen immediately opened his computer, entered the chatroom, and contacted Alice.

Ghost King and Shadow weren’t dead, and after this event, they would surely intensify their efforts.

The urgent priority was to locate both of them!

Fourth Grandfather was right.

That day, Fourth Grandfather had warned him to be wary of those around him, and unexpectedly, it was Shadow who betrayed him.

Fortunately, he had sensed something amiss and had Third Grandpa’s pills, which saved him from disaster.

From the first time he had sought out Shadow since returning to Linchuan, their conversations seemed to be deliberately misleading and evasive, especially when Shadow insisted on meeting face to face in Linchuan, saying it twice.

This was entirely inconsistent with Shadow’s usual behavior, and Li Chen vaguely felt something was amiss specifically because of Shadow’s abnormal behavior.

Before long, the chatroom connected, and Alice’s figure appeared on the screen.

“Chen, are you here to hurry the lab issue,” Alice’s side still featured her enormous chest, and she seemed to be in a good mood, not waiting for Li Chen to speak, she took the initiative to say, “The lab is progressing well, almost ready.”

“I’m not here for that,” Li Chen shook his head.

Seeing Li Chen’s serious face, Alice turned serious as well, “King of the Netherworld, what’s up?”

“You should have guessed that I had a hidden trump card,” Li Chen said calmly, “but she betrayed me, just today, planning to kill me along with Ghost King.”

“What?” Alice seemed extremely shocked, “How, how is that possible?”

A trump card, what is a trump card?

It’s a method others can’t predict, and moreover, it’s the King of the Netherworld’s trump card; how could others possibly guess it, but shockingly, this trump card directly betrayed the King of the Netherworld!

One can only imagine how furious Li Chen was at that moment.

To cultivate a trump card is like cultivating one’s own right-hand man, consuming so much heart force.

Unexpectedly, the other party betrayed him just like that.

Although Li Chen had anticipated it, a surge of anger was still inevitable in his heart.

Ghost King, Shadow, you two must die!

To rebel, death is the punishment!

Alice recovered from her shock and quickly said, “Then, King of the Netherworld, what do I need to do?”

“Look,” Li Chen said calmly, “search for Ghost King’s whereabouts and that of my trump card, find their locations, and tell me.”

Alice nodded, “I will.”

“My trump card is called Shadow, skilled at collecting and probing intelligence, with strong surveillance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities,” Li Chen said, “focus more on America and shift the emphasis to Huaxia.”

“Alright, King of the Netherworld,” Alice nodded.

“Also, Ghost King has developed a type of clone that seems to inherit his strength.

Today, I saw at least twenty clones identical to Ghost King,” Li Chen said.

“What?” Alice was shocked again, Clones?

Cloning technology was indeed invented quite early and had been successfully experimented on some animals, but the progress in cloning people was not great because clones had trouble fully inheriting the intelligence of the clonee.

Some clones were more like newborn infants.

Clones like those of Ghost King, having his own strength, indeed had never been seen before.

Observing Alice’s facial expression, Li Chen said quietly, “These clones are not simple, you should also check this out, see if you can locate his experimental headquarters.”

“Alright.”

“That’s all for now, keep up on the lab,” Li Chen finally said.

After ending the call, Li Chen’s brow furrowed, Alice’s expression just now didn’t seem feigned, but previously, the Ghost King had mentioned that the technology for clones also had assistance from his own laboratory, perhaps he had guessed wrong.

Li Chen rubbed his brow, having become cautious of everyone after his experience with Shadow, Alice included.

Although Alice was his most loyal subordinate, it’s always good to account for all possibilities.

He had trusted Shadow immensely, yet she had betrayed him.

Therefore, even though he knew of Alice’s loyalty, he still harbored caution.

Moreover, not just Alice, anyone who had been with him, Li Chen always had a hint of caution, and it wouldn’t be dispelled until he had dealt with the Ghost King and Alice.

“Ghost King, Shadow, I know you’re still in Linchuan!” a sharp light flashed in Li Chen’s eyes, “Looking forward to your next move, and that will be when I find you!”

At another location, a mysterious villa.

The room was still extremely dim, where only a man’s figure could faintly be seen.

“Snap”

The man suddenly flung the teapot on the table to the floor, “Didn’t you say he was injured?”

The man’s tone was filled with anger—he was the Ghost King.

In front of him, Shadow remained calm, “He indeed was injured, my information isn’t wrong.”

The Ghost King sneered coldly, “Injured and still so formidable?

Aren’t my clones almost as strong as me?

Facing him, don’t nearly thirty clones from the thirty-eight on Earth Ranking have no power to fight back?”

Shadow was silent for a moment, “I’ve been observing the King of the Netherworld during this period.

He indeed was injured, and during the battle, he consumed a Pill, which I guess saved him from dying on the spot.”

“Enough, I don’t need information or analysis, I want the King of the Netherworld gone!” the Ghost King almost roared.

Shadow, silent, recalled Li Chen’s terrifying skills today.

She was the one who had been closest to the King of the Netherworld and knew well of his fearsomeness.

And now, having betrayed him, according to the King of the Netherworld’s nature, it was going to be a fight to the death!

Either the betrayer dies!

Or, he, the King of the Netherworld, is killed by the rebels!

There was no second possibility.

“The King of the Netherworld must have guessed that I’m in Linchuan,” the Ghost King suddenly said, “and he even guessed that you would betray, something I hadn’t anticipated.”

Shadow shook her head, “I hadn’t anticipated that either.”

Li Chen’s eyes flashed through her mind again—what kind of eyes were they?

They seemed nonchalant, but when serious, it felt like they could see through your soul.

“Since our traces have been exposed, I no longer need to hide and set traps,” the Ghost King sneered coldly, “let’s directly strike from the shadows and finish off the King of the Netherworld!”

“King of the Netherworld, even if you are one of the Twelve Main Gods, I don’t believe I can’t kill you!” The Ghost King slammed his right hand down on the table, instantly splintering it into pieces.

In Lin Yi’s villa, Li Chen calmed his mind and then sat down on the bed to begin cultivating.

Up to now, the True Qi within his body was surging powerfully; the effects of the Pills given by Third Grandpa had not worn off, inspiring Li Chen to cultivate.

As a child, several grandfathers had taught him to cultivate a Mysterious Technique, merely telling him that it would strengthen his body.

Since he began, Li Chen had never stopped, and it was this Mysterious Technique that had enabled him to become today’s King of the Netherworld.

Without further ado, Li Chen sat down cross-legged.
