"Red alert! Ten dark forces launched a surprise attack on Mobei Prison, forcibly rescuing war criminals. The situation is critical!"
"The warden and eight hundred soldier-king class warriors resisted to the death, ultimately annihilated and died for their country!"
"Three thousand war criminals, guilty of heinous crimes, escaped and infiltrated the capital of Great Xia!"
Two days later, Marshal Ye Tianwang, who had been fighting overseas for many years, received the above battle report. Enraged, he slew the twelve main gods of the Maritime Kingdom with his sword before swiftly returning to the country.
In front of the Chief Leader of Great Xia, he submitted a military pledge!
Within three months, regardless of life or death, he would apprehend all escaped war criminals, or commit seppuku in Mobei!
Afterward, Ye Tianwang entered the Heroes' Cemetery on foot.
Young and handsome, clad in a military uniform, his chest was adorned with numerous service ribbons, and his shoulders bore five golden stars encircled by olive branches. His arm patch was pure black, with a sharp sword positioned at its center.
He walked deep into the cemetery and finally stopped before the tombstone of the Mobei Prison Warden, Ye Guohui.
"Dad, don't worry. I will capture all the war criminals and restore your military honor!"
Indeed, the Mobei Prison Warden, Ye Guohui, who died in the prison riot yesterday, was none other than the current Great Xia Marshal Ye Tianwang's father!
As the saying goes, a son inherits his father's legacy.
After Ye Guohui retired from the front lines, Ye Longlin, barely eighteen years old, took his father's place in fighting overseas. After six years of smoke and gunfire, covered in scars and bullet holes, he achieved remarkable military achievements, ultimately becoming the youngest and only Five-Star Tianwang of Great Xia!
However, apart from the high-ranking officials of Great Xia, no one knew about their father-son relationship!
His return to the country this time was to bid his father a final farewell.
Additionally, it was to avenge his father!
"Tianwang, it's time to go. The plane departs in an hour," Yuan Gang, the leader of the Dragon Pavilion's Four Divine Generals, reminded him.
Ye Longlin straightened his uniform, saluted the tombstone, and then departed.
According to the latest intelligence, some war criminals had fled to Star City, and their tracks had been followed.
...
Star Airline flight 3u9257.
Ye Longlin sat in first class, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds outside, resting his eyes.
"Tianwang, you've been fighting on the battlefield for many days. Please take this time to rest," Yuan Gang whispered.
Ye Longlin did not reply but continued to look out the window. Exhaustion washed over him, and he slowly closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep.
In his dreams, the scene of the eight hundred soldiers dying in Mobei Prison and his father's unclosed eyes replayed before him, like knives piercing his chest.
His killing intent gradually surged!
"Huff... huff..."
Ye Longlin's eyes suddenly snapped open, startling him awake, his breathing becoming heavy.
"What do you think you're doing? I warn you, I'm the daughter of the Juling Conglomerate. If you dare touch me, you'll face the consequences!"
Suddenly, a flustered voice came from the row in front.
"Miss Lin, I'm also acting on the orders of my superiors. That person does not wish for you to return. I hope you understand."
"It's Qin Xiao, isn't it! I knew it. It's not the first time the Xiaotian Group has done such a thing! I advise you not to do anything foolish. The Lin family will not let you go!"
"Miss Lin, even if we threw you off the plane, who would know it was us? Hahaha..."
The noisy commotion displeased Ye Longlin, but he caught a keyword.
Juling Conglomerate?
He had a fiancée he had never met, and she was apparently the daughter of the Juling Conglomerate...
He subtly gestured to Yuan Gang.
"Investigate the situation."
As Yuan Gang was about to rise, a handgun was pressed against his head!
"Sit down, or I'll blow your head off!"
The man holding the gun was a burly individual with a crew cut, clearly not to be trifled with. He stared at Yuan Gang menacingly.
"Alright, boss."
Yuan Gang grinned, and his casual response slightly relaxed the man's guard. However, the next moment...
Yuan Gang instantly grabbed his wrist, forcefully snapped it, and then delivered a hand chop to his neck. The gunman immediately fainted.
The fight was over quickly and efficiently!
As the burly man collapsed, two accomplices emerged from the first-class cabin. They were twins, both wearing tank tops, adorned with dragon and tiger tattoos, their faces filled with thick flesh, and each holding a standard-issue handgun!
Just as Yuan Gang was about to make a move, he felt a surge of killing intent!
It was then he noticed a small mark on the neck of the unconscious gunman—1987.
A dragon coiled around it, with the number within.
This was a unique prisoner mark of Mobei Prison.
It represented the 1987th war criminal!
Mobei Prison held 2,000 Class A war criminals, 800 Class S war criminals, 300 Class SS war criminals, and 99 Class SSS war criminals.
By the time Yuan Gang reacted, Ye Longlin had already vanished. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the criminals!
"Crack! Crack!"
Ye Longlin, using only his bare hands, lifted the criminals high into the air and slammed them heavily onto the cabin floor, quickly disabling all four of their limbs.
The final outcome was the successful capture of four Class A escaped prisoners: No. 1987, No. 1856, No. 1803, and No. 1745.
Ye Longlin then looked at the target of the criminals—a delicate-looking woman.
What were they trying to do?
However, he noticed a purple crystal ring on the woman's finger.
It was a matching pair to the one he wore on his own hand.
Custom-made, unique in the world.
"Is she my fiancée?"
His trip to Star City this time was not only for pursuing escaped criminals but also for a personal matter.
That matter was the annulment of the engagement.
Having fought on the battlefield for many years, Ye Longlin had long lost interest in romantic entanglements. Moreover, given his status, such relationships were a burden.
Therefore, he had no intention of getting married in recent years.
Furthermore, with his father now deceased, he had even less of a desire for it.
His only thought now was to apprehend the escaped criminals and avenge his father!
Seeing that the thugs had been dealt with by the cold-faced man, Lin Tian'ai's heart gradually sank, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to express her thanks, she saw the cold-faced man walking towards her. He casually took off his ring and asked the woman, "Are you Lin Tian'ai of the Lin family in Star City?"
Following that, Ye Longlin's gaze fell upon a cool yet stunningly beautiful face.
Even Ye Tianwang, who had seen countless beautiful women, had to admit that this woman's beauty ranked among his top three.
Lin Tian'ai tilted her head slightly, "Yes!"
However, she was not only the daughter of the Juling Group but also a well-known entrepreneur in Star City. Starting with three million yuan, she had built an enterprise worth billions in just five years.
Most importantly, she had graduated with a master's degree in the first half of this year!
"I am Ye Longlin. Our fathers arranged our marriage back then, but I think it's best to annul it."
"You should have heard of my aversion to marriage. Now that my father is also gone, I hope you understand."
Ye Longlin stated concisely and handed the ring in his hand to her.
After speaking, he returned to his seat without looking back to rest.
Lin Tian'ai looked at the ring in her hand, her eyes narrowing as if she had realized something, "Ye Longlin!"
The usually composed CEO showed a rare expression of anger. She turned to look at the man, her eyes filled with frost...
Although she was also dissatisfied with this inexplicable engagement.
But if it was to be annulled, she wanted to be the one to initiate it. How could it be his turn!
Before she could finish speaking, the plane's announcement sounded, forcing her to return to her seat and fasten her seatbelt, thinking she would question him after landing!
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to arrive at Star City Airport. Please fasten your seatbelts..."
At this moment, her best friend Mu Hanqi, unable to contain her curiosity, asked, "Tian'ai, is this the fiancé you mentioned who's serving overseas?"
"He's quite handsome, isn't he? As expected from a military family, he exudes a sense of security. It was thanks to him playing the hero just now."
Mu Hanqi looked smitten and praised him repeatedly.
Lin Tian'ai rubbed the ring in her hand and snorted, "Is that all? You think too highly of him."
She felt extremely uncomfortable.
Since childhood, no one had ever rejected her, yet this man had unilaterally annulled their engagement!
If this got out, how would Lin Tian'ai save face?
"When we get back, I'll have my father write the annulment agreement. Even if it's annulled, it will be annulled by the Lin family! What right does a mere soldier have to say annul? Giving him a few million is already the utmost kindness from the Lin family!"
Lin Tian'ai said indignantly, "I am the president of the Juling Conglomerate, after all, while he is just the son of a prison guard. We are completely from different worlds!"
