Chapter 482: Chapter 478: Hunting the Traitor (Part Two)

"An investigation?"

Mr. Yun’s words immediately piqued Ling Chen’s interest, who asked, "Investigate what?"

"You don’t need to know. Ling Chen, there are many things in this world that seem unrelated on the surface, but are actually intricately linked and closely connected. Some things you are better off not knowing. The more you know, the worse it is for you. If I were you, I would stay out of it and not attract trouble."

Hearing Mr. Yun’s caution, Ling Chen changed the topic and asked, "You’ve been with the God Organization for so many years, you must know who the leader of the God Organization is."

"He is Asian, that’s the only information I’ve managed to get over the past twenty-plus years. Besides that, I don’t even know whether he’s male or female, let alone seen him in person. He always appears as a virtual image in meetings, and even his voice has been altered. To my knowledge, no more than three people in the entire God Organization know the leader’s identity."

"How were you exposed this time?"

"Because of you." Mr. Yun looked at Ling Chen and said, "Because of the obstacles you created, I failed to handle several matters assigned by the God Organization. The higher-ups are dissatisfied with me, thinking that my capabilities are limited and wanting to push me out of my position. Moreover, they have already started investigating me secretly. Once they discover the secrets I’ve kept over the years, all my efforts will have been in vain; thus, I have no choice but to make a last stand."

"Do they know your identity, including your relationship with the Nanrong Family?" Ling Chen asked. This was critical—if the God Organization knew that Nanrong Wanqing was Mr. Yun’s daughter, they certainly wouldn’t let the matter rest.

"Don’t worry about that. Before I joined the God Organization, I had already forged a new identity, completely unrelated to the Nanrong Family. If it wasn’t to protect them, I wouldn’t have started using the name ’Mr. Yun.’"

"That’s good." Ling Chen quietly sighed in relief.

Walking along the sewer for a few hundred meters, Ling Chen pulled out his phone, looked at the distribution map on the screen, pointed to a passage on the right, and said, "Take this way, the subway station should be about four hundred meters away."

Before long, they could hear the whooshing sound of the subway from beyond the sewer walls.

Seeing the light appearing ahead, Ling Chen’s eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace, urging Mr. Yun to keep up.

The light was at the end of the sewer, next to a metal door. Ling Chen glanced at it and his expression suddenly changed. Next to the metal door was a smashed lock. Judging from the remaining marks on the door, it seemed to have just happened. Moreover, there were footprints around the metal door.

Could it be...

Ling Chen was startled, and before he could express his concern, he heard a noise from behind.

Without hesitating, Ling Chen quickly turned his head and saw two people suddenly jump out of the mud on both sides of the sewer, wielding knives, lunging towards Mr. Yun.

"Watch out!" Ling Chen shouted, his body reacting instantly, moving in front of Mr. Yun. Before the two men could get closer, Ling Chen kicked out twice in succession, sending the two men flying, who were attempting to assassinate Mr. Yun.

"Run!"

Ling Chen vigilantly watched the surroundings, shielding Mr. Yun behind him, quickly retreating towards the metal door.

"Nice skills."

Suddenly, a cold voice echoed through the sewer.

Hearing that voice, Mr. Yun’s complexion drastically changed, he said in a deep tone, "It’s him!"

"Do you know him?"

"He’s called the Magician, specifically responsible for eliminating traitors within the God Organization. No one targeted by him has ever survived."

"Mr. Yun, since you know so much about me, how dare you betray the organization? You should know that no one who betrays the organization has ever escaped its pursuit. Given your high position within the organization, you must have dealt with many traitors; have their fates not taught you a lesson?"

"Enough!" Ling Chen said impatiently, "Cut the chatter, as long as I’m here, you can’t harm a hair on his head."

"Ling Chen, I know you are highly skilled. But even the most formidable person has weaknesses."

Ling Chen frowned and scanned the surroundings of the sewer, hoping to locate the source of the voice. However, the voice shifted unpredictably from left to right, making it difficult to pinpoint.

"Ling Chen, be careful. The reason he is called a magician is that his methods are bizarre and difficult to guard against."

Hearing Mr. Yun’s caution, Ling Chen nodded silently. He was not afraid of a direct confrontation, but he was worried about sneaky tricks.

Looking around, Ling Chen pointed towards a corner next to the iron door. Mr. Yun immediately understood and retreated alone to the corner, pressing his back against the wall.

With Ling Chen guarding in front, and a wall at the back, even if the magician’s tactics were ingenious, it would be impossible to silently kill Mr. Yun.

At this moment, the magician’s voice had disappeared in the sewer, nowhere to be found.

Ling Chen perked up his ears, listening intently to the movements on both sides. Some things can’t be seen with eyes, but can be heard with ears.

Suddenly, Ling Chen’s slightly squinted eyes burst open, then he turned and looked at the mud on the ground. Immediately after, his right hand plunged into the mud.

As he pulled his hand out of the mud, he was holding a colorful little snake.

The Gabon Viper!

Ling Chen’s pupils shrank, his face colored with a hint of horror, and he quickly threw the viper against the wall and punched it squarely on the head. Under the impact of the Inner Strength, the viper’s head exploded instantly, splattering blood everywhere.

That was close!

Ling Chen took a breath of relief. It was a Gabon Viper, one of the top ten deadliest snakes in the world, known for its camouflage and potent venom. A bite would undoubtedly be fatal.

The magician’s skills were indeed superior, capable of controlling the viper. If it weren’t for his keen hearing and quick reflexes, he might have already fallen victim to the attack.

While pondering, a smoke suddenly surged through the sewer passage.

Seeing the smoke approaching, Ling Chen immediately stepped back, shielding Mr. Yun behind him, to prevent the magician from taking advantage of an ambush.

However, just then, a subway train suddenly roared past outside the wall, creating a tremendous noise.

Seeing this, Ling Chen thought to himself that this was bad. The sound of the subway completely drowned out all other sounds in the sewer, making it impossible for even his keen hearing to distinguish anything.

"Ling Chen."

Mr. Yun’s voice rang out, and Ling Chen instinctively replied, "What’s up?"

But as soon as he spoke, he immediately realized something was wrong. Mr. Yun was supposed to be behind him, yet the voice came from his side.

In a flash of thought, a strong sense of crisis surged from the depths of Ling Chen’s heart. Without hesitation, Ling Chen raised his steel fist and blasted it out, his Inner Strength surging wildly.

Eh?

As the steel fist thundered, a look of surprise flashed across Ling Chen’s eyes.
