Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1899-30041322

Of course, Si Yiyan didn't bother about these two people behind him. Xu Xianghu's beast-like instinct wasn't wrong about how miserable he felt right now. Ever since he came to Russia, Si Yiyan's mood was like an approaching thunderstorm in summer, complete with engulfing dark clouds.

The plan to deal with the Korean-Chinese Alliance had already been fully launched. The plan this time was led by Lucifer and assisted by the Russian army and a couple of wealthy families. As the head of Lucifer, he naturally became the most powerful decision-maker of this mission.

Every order he made impacted the entire Lucifer's fate and each of his decisions bore the pressure from the Russian army and those wealthy families. Not only did he have to eradicate the Korean-Chinese Alliance, he even needed to guard against the Russian army, as well as the preying eyes of those wealthy families towards Lucifer.

It was a serious matter—he couldn't afford to prioritize his relationship.

It had been three days since he came to Russia. The messages that he had squeezed time out to send to Xinya didn't get any reply, and the call he made was to the unfeeling voice of the automated intercept message informing him that her phone was switched off.

Even the calm and composed Si Yiyan couldn't help but feel slightly depressed at this point.

Si Yiyan frowned slightly and stopped in his tracks. "What are the two of you muttering about behind?"

Xu Xianghu and Yueze hurriedly said, "Nothing much."

At this point, a man walked towards Si Yiyan. The man was tall and slim, slightly shorter than Si Yiyan, wore a dark blue coat which flared out and swayed on its own without wind, and had an extraordinary aura.

The man and Si Yiyan walked past each other.

"Boss, watch out!"

Just then, Xu Xianghu's face turned harsh and the long, centipede-like scar on his face instantly turned ferocious as he suddenly pounced forward. Yueze also noticed something was amiss and already held a gun in his hand.

Instantly, the explosive power of Si Yiyan's body was demonstrated fully as he immediately created distance between himself and that man.

And in that instant when they parted, that man jumped back and activated the gun in his hand immediately. The gun with a silencer produced a sharp noise as its bullet went towards Si Yiyan.

Si Yiyan ducked the shot.

And Yueze's action was only a moment slower—once that man's bullet was fired, he had fired multiple shots at him.

And Xu Xianghu who had responded most rapidly was already standing in front of Si Yiyan, shielding him, and fired a shot at the same time. The smell of gunpowder hung in the air and a bullet had already been planted on the left side of that man's chest.

This shot was from Si Yiyan.

The injured man didn't wish to continue fighting. Instead, he turned back and wanted to flee.

"Damn it, leave your life behind."

Xu Xianghu cursed while he pursued him like a ferocious tiger.

At this point, Si Yiyan had already activated the communication device on him and sent orders to investigate and capture the enemy.

Everything happened as quick as lightning—it had been less than 5 seconds from the time the person fired his shot to his departure.

Yueze heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Boss, are you okay?"

Si Yiyan nodded as he looked sideways at his left arm, where the sign of a bullet passing by was seen in the form of a scratched hole on his light blue blouse.

His expression was extremely hazy.

This blouse had been personally designed and hand-sewn by Xinya—unexpectedly, it actually got ruined.

Yueze gasped. "That person is actually so skilled in his marksmanship."

That person's motive should have been to leave the Elegance Room and didn't plan to lay a finger on Boss. However, Boss was indeed too sharp and probably noticed something when they passed each other, triggering his guards and reaction. And that person was as sharp as Boss and also reacted at the same moment.

The two of them had always acted in tandem and avoided each other at the same pace.

Hence, it was evident that this person's awareness, sharpness, and skills weren't inferior to Boss.

Si Yiyan said with a serious expression, "His marksmanship isn't inferior to mine."

As he passed by that man, the kind of sensitivity, excitement, hysteria, and intensity between powerhouses were undoubtedly felt. Thus, he had raised his guards against that person.

It had been too many years since he last met such a well-matched opponent.

"If that's the case, Little Hu is definitely no match for him."

Yueze gasped. Although he had guessed that this person's capability wasn't inferior to Boss, he was still in disbelief when it was confirmed. In the many years that he had followed Boss, he had never seen anyone whose marksmanship could match Boss.

This man was the first.

Si Yiyan said mildly, "Although that person avoided my lethal blow, that shot was still within three centimeters of his heart—it might not end his life, but it will make him miserable. With Little Hu's capability, although he won't be able to catch up and get rid of this man, it will also be impossible for this man to hurt Little Hu."

He had shot that man under the cover of Yueze and Xu Xianghu.

That man was extremely seriously injured. If he couldn't extract the bullet within 12 hours and attend to his wound, this shot was enough to claim his life. After this, as long as he closely tracked all major hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and illegal doctors, he would be able to find this man's whereabouts.

Yueze heaved a sigh of relief.

Just then, Si Yiyan noticed the tree behind him. Previously, he had ducked the shot that the man fired at him—now, the bullet was stuck on the tree trunk filled with lush moss.

He walked over, extracted that bullet which had been deeply planted into the tree by force, examined it closely, and his expression gradually turned awful.

Yueze slowly said, "Boss, is there anything wrong with this bullet?"

Boss was too serious towards the bullet in his hand and made him feel that there was something wrong with this bullet.

Si Yiyan kept the bullet. "I'm not sure yet."

This already confirmed that there was something wrong with the bullet.

Yueze's face sank slightly, his exquisite face showing a tinge of ferocity. "Who exactly is this person who actually dared to lay his finger on you within the area of the Elegance Room—he's simply courting death."

"He's Wei Che!"

Si Yiyan's tone was rather certain because his sharp feelings were not to be challenged.

Previously, when he met Duke Moville at the Elegance Room and first saw Wei Che, the sensitivity and caution between powerhouses told him that this person was extraordinary.

Throughout the years, there was only one person who made him feel this way.

s

That was Wei Che.

Wei Che, who was under his surveillance using the Skynet, was actually hiding in the Elegance Room. It seemed like there was also more than met the eye to the Elegance Room.

Yueze was shocked. "He's actually hiding in the Elegance Room."

Lucifer's operations against the Korean-Chinese Alliance was rather secretive. As a member of the group, Wei Che would naturally notice that something was off—the Skynet precisely triggered to prevent Wei Che from escaping.

And after Wei Che appeared once in China, there had been no news about him. Unexpectedly, he was actually hiding in the Elegance Room—it seemed like there was something wrong with the Elegance Room.
