Chapter 2131 - 2132: Capture Alive If Possible, Kill If Not

Ye Xunhuan’s agonized roar sounded like rolling thunder, reverberating through the air and alarming everyone at Broken Cliff Residence, prompting many to rush towards Elder Chen’s dwelling.

The leader of the group was naturally the old man with the goatee, followed by Xing Kun!

Ever since Ye Xunhuan and Olivia entered Broken Cliff Residence, all the Protectors have been on a relentless search for them, yet to no avail.

They began to suspect that perhaps the intruders had already discreetly left?

Nevertheless, they didn’t relax their guard and continued the search diligently. Even without results, it gave them a semblance of security.

Now, Ye Xunhuan’s thunderous shout drew them all in instantly.

When the old man with the goatee and Xing Kun arrived at Elder Chen’s dwelling, they saw Elder Chen with Olivia by his side, and their faces immediately turned grim, a fierce murderous intent emanating from them.

"No wonder I couldn’t find the intruders. You were hiding them!" the old man with the goatee said, fixing his gaze on Elder Chen.

"I can only say you’re foolish!" Elder Chen said with a disdainful tone, "Can’t even find a single person in a place you’ve lived for over twenty years!"

"Don’t you find it embarrassing?"

The old man’s face changed slightly. Though Elder Chen’s words were harsh, he had to concede they were true!

He had lived in Broken Cliff Residence for over twenty years, it was practically his home, and he knew every nook and cranny. Yet, he failed to notice people hiding right under his nose.

Taking a deep breath, the old man said, "You should know the consequences of harboring intruders!"

"Trying to scare me?" Elder Chen snorted contemptuously.

"I’m not trying to scare you; I’m just stating facts!" the old man firmly replied, "Broken Cliff Residence is forbidden to outsiders—trespass and face death!"

"By hiding intruders, though the Sovereign has said to let you live, you should be aware that even living, you’ll face punishment..."

"Don’t use the Sovereign to pressure me!" Elder Chen interrupted the old man, "Gongsun Jing, you know damn well what kind of person I am. Not even the Heavenly King could contain me!"

"You all trapped me for twenty years, the Sovereign crippled my legs, leaving me half-dead here!" Elder Chen said angrily, "Every day is torture for me!"

"And it’s all because I trusted the Sovereign too much. Otherwise, what makes you think you have the right to shout in my presence?"

"You’re right, if not for your wrong decision, the Protector’s leader would be someone from your Ye family!" Gongsun Jing admitted, "But you were wrong, completely wrong, with no chance to recover!"

"And history is always written by the victors!" Gongsun Jing said coldly to Elder Chen, "I don’t care why you’re shielding her, but I’ll give you one chance: sit aside and don’t move, or I can’t guarantee you won’t get hurt!"

With that, Gongsun Jing turned his gaze toward Olivia, "Hand over the one who screamed in agony!"

"Gongsun Jing, don’t you think you’re dreaming?" Elder Chen mocked, "If you’re so capable, try and come in!"

Gongsun Jing’s face darkened. Elder Chen was clearly determined to interfere, forcing Gongsun Jing to act if he wanted to capture anyone.

Taking a deep breath, Gongsun Jing looked at Elder Chen, "I know you’re formidable, but remember, crippled and legless, you’re just a toothless tiger!"

"While you can intimidate, you can’t instill fear!" Gongsun Jing pressed on, "Now, I’m giving you one last chance to choose!"

"Not necessary!" Elder Chen rejected without a second thought!

Gongsun Jing sneered coldly, "Xing Kun!"

"Sir..."

"In a moment, capture the woman alive if you can. If not, kill her!" Gongsun Jing ordered expressionlessly.

As he spoke, Gongsun Jing’s gaze focused on Elder Chen’s hands!

"You only have two people while I know how many I have. You know very well!" Gongsun Jing told Elder Chen, "Do you think you two can hold us back?"

Of course, Elder Chen had been here the whole time, and Gongsun Jing and the others were here to watch over him, ensuring he didn’t leave Broken Cliff Residence. They knew how many were there and how many experts were among them.

Elder Chen understood fully that if a fight broke out, he and Olivia would face dire circumstances.

If Elder Chen still had his legs, he wouldn’t fear Gongsun Jing and his men.

But in this world, there are no "ifs," only outcomes and consequences!

He had no choice but to fight Gongsun Jing to buy Ye Xunhuan time. If Ye Xunhuan fell into Gongsun Jing’s hands now, it would only end in death, and Elder Chen knew this well!

"We’ll see about that!"

"Overestimating yourself!" Gongsun Jing’s face turned icy, his eyes flashing fiercely, and he lunged at Elder Chen.

Gongsun Jing moved swiftly, like a gust of wind, reaching Elder Chen in a flash and swiftly lunging with his hands!

Faced with Gongsun Jing’s fierce attack, Elder Chen dared not be careless. He quickly raised the crutch from beneath his arm to counter Gongsun Jing.

Gongsun Jing’s movement prompted Xing Kun and others to make their move, aiming for Olivia.

Though legless, Elder Chen was not someone Xing Kun and his men could handle. Even Gongsun Jing couldn’t take down Elder Chen without effort and the price.

But these considerations were secondary. The priority was to swiftly deal with Olivia. Once they had Olivia under control, they could all join forces against Elder Chen.

At that time, given Elder Chen’s current state, how much of a threat could he pose?

High skill levels fear nothing, more so when Elder Chen was no longer the figure he once was!

Olivia was already prepared for action. As Xing Kun and his men charged, she gripped the butcher knife and swung it swiftly!
