NOVEL NEXT Chapter 373
"My Lord, with all due respect, it's better to think twice about this matter."
"After all, Jiang Jingshan has great influence in Jiuzhou Nation. This matter can't be kept secret, and it will surely lead to endless retaliation from him." Wang Long stepped forward, hesitating for a moment before speaking.
His concerns were not unfounded. If they really went after Jiang Che, regardless of whether they succeeded, they would face relentless revenge from Jiang Jingshan.
"Yes, my Lord, please consider carefully." Lü Chang also stepped forward, trying to persuade Ji Chen.
This was no small matter. If they acted rashly, it would certainly bring about a deadly disaster.
"My Lord, please think it over…"
"You don't need to worry. I've already planned a way out." Ji Chen frowned slightly, his expression calm, showing that he was confident and well-prepared.
He had thought about these things too and had already planned his escape route. Last year, during a meeting in the Imperial Capital, he met a powerful figure with a status equal to Jiang Jingshan.
He had helped this person with some matters and was owed a favor, which was his biggest trump card, giving him the confidence to confront Jiang Jingshan.
Originally, he intended to save this favor for a critical moment, but now it seems he had no choice but to use it early.
"After the mission is completed, I will transfer all of you to Old Master Sun's place. He will arrange a safe place for you."
"Old Master Sun, my Lord, do you mean that one?" Wang Long was stunned for a moment, looking at Ji Chen in bewilderment.
Besides the person he had in mind, he couldn't think of any other old master surnamed Sun who could contend with Jiang Jingshan.
Although the Jiang family was powerful, they didn't have absolute control over Jiuzhou Nation. There were many aristocratic families that could balance the Jiang family, but those people were beyond their reach.
They were just ordinary folks or from small families, and in the eyes of those aristocratic families, they were like ants with no possibility of interaction.
Only Ji Chen might have the means to know such people, given his title as the God of War of the Northern Territory.
"That's right, it's Old Master Sun. Now are you relieved?" Ji Chen smiled, scanning the crowd.
He noticed that their initial tension had eased, and the gloom had lifted considerably.
"Relieved, if Old Master Sun is involved, we don't need to worry much." Lü Chang took a deep breath, choosing to trust Ji Chen unconditionally.
Having followed Ji Chen for many years, he believed that Ji Chen wouldn't harm his own people.
"My Lord, when should we take action?" Lin Tianlong stepped forward and asked, looking puzzled.
Although surprised by Ji Chen's words, he didn't show much emotion. Earlier, he had secretly recorded an audio clip on his phone and sent it to Jiang Che, believing Jiang Che would have a solution.
"The sooner the better. We act tonight!" Ji Chen glanced at Lin Tianlong and said indifferently.
He had some impression of this man, who had replaced Chen Feng after his death.
…
Among all their interactions, he had the least contact with Lin Tianlong, making him somewhat wary of him.
"What do we need to do?" Lin Tianlong continued to ask, his demeanor respectful, giving Ji Chen no reason to find fault.
"There's nothing you need to do now. Just rest and recharge. When the time comes, follow me to Crouching Dragon Villa to confront Jiang Che."
Ji Chen said, looking around the group, signaling Li Yuan to lead them to the cars of the Ten Battle Generals, then slowly driving towards the city center.
Ji Chen had his reasons for acting decisively. So many people from the Northern Territory suddenly gathering would surely attract attention and couldn't escape Jiang Jingshan's notice.
Therefore, he planned to resolve this quickly, as prolonging it would bring no benefit.
"Jiang Che, this time, I will make sure you die miserably!" Ji Chen sat in the back seat of the Bentley, looking out at the rapidly passing scenery with a glint of madness in his eyes.
…
Crouching Dragon Villa, Living Room.
After bringing Ji Qingwan back, Jiang Che was planning to teach her the Star Devourer Technique again.
After all, there was a grand feast tonight!
Including Ji Chen, the Four Thrones, the Seven Fiends, and the Ten War Generals! These people were like prime crops ready for harvest!
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Without much thought, Jiang Che took his phone out of his pocket and looked at it.
Only a few important people had his contact information, so if someone messaged him, it had to be something important.
