Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress - Chapter 229
Chapter 229: Do I Have The Right?
The building where the Su Family was staying.
Chi Yue’s eyes narrowed when he saw that Su Huiqing had destroyed the drone. The live broadcast over the internet ended.
He just continued reading the comments left by netizens, his heart still racing, his hands still on the keyboard.
The room lights weren’t turned on.
The glow from the computer screen lit up his face, making it look cold and harsh. Those lowered eyes were brighter than ever before.
Chi Yue chuckled.
There was no other feeling like this in the world.
She was truly back.
He raised his hand and closed his laptop.
“Mr. Chi Yue, won’t you stay for dinner?” Uncle Chen was placing a plate of fruit on the table when he saw Chi Yue coming down the stairs with his laptop.
Chi Yue adjusted his spectacles and smiled warmly. “Thank you, Uncle Chen. I still have some matters to see.”
Uncle Chen put down the plate and saw Chi Yue off.
Everyone was sitting on the sofa, watching their cell phones in a daze.
They snapped out of their trance on hearing Chi Yue and Uncle Chen talking.
Gu Li and the gang appeared oblivious, but Gideon stared fixedly at Chi Yue!
Especially when he noted the backpack that Chi Yue was carrying. His eyes darkened!
Uncle Chen closed the door after seeing Chi Yue enter the lift. He murmured. “That’s strange. I don’t think I told him my surname before…”
Gideon had already turned away.
“This person is so formidable…” Qu Yan pressed replay on her cell phone.
Gu Li and Yu Xiangyang nodded in agreement.
But Gideon raised his brows and pointed at the red figure, his voice had a slight lilt to it. “You don’t know this person?”
“Should we know her?” Gu Li turned toward Gideon.
His expression was thoughtful.
Gideon’s expression didn’t change. But he now knew that Su Huiqing didn’t tell these people about her identity. He nonchalantly rapped against the table. “Go online and search for Unknown Island’s Su S. No wait, those people probably don’t dare to publish her information online… you guys are from Monster University right? When you get the chance, go to the library to read up on her.”
Gideon leaned back on the sofa. He took up his cell phone and looked like he was busy chatting with someone.
Totally ignoring the rest of them.
Since Su Huiqing didn’t tell them, he didn’t wish to interfere.
Anyway, these people would never guess that the person was Su Huiqing.
After all, Su Huiqing was usually a very mild and nonchalant person.
Meanwhile, that figure in red was wild and bewitching, bold and audacious.
If he hadn’t witnessed it with his own eyes, Gideon wouldn’t even believe those two characters could be from the same family.
Gideon was reading the messages in the Demon Concentration Camp, which was coming fast and furious.
Now, those people… should be back too.
On the other side.
Chi Yue was driving and his laptop was opened by his side.
Strings of numbers streamed across the screen.
A line of red words jumped out. “Someone is trying to attack!”
A voice sounded out from his communications device. “Master Chi Yue, someone is trying to trace your IP address.”
“They already know it’s me. Why waste their efforts?” Chi Yue’s voice was mild.
His smile was indifferent.
Everyone in the hacker community knew that no one would ever be able to trace his IP address.
The car came to a stop by a stronghold along the coastline of Unknown Island.
He opened the door and rested his hand on the side of the deck.
Bright lights lit up his profile.
At the same time, countless fighter jets descended.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Figure after figure descended from the sky, landing on all fours before standing up.
They formed two neat rows, one on each side of Chi Yue, before saluting. “Master Chi Yue!”
Chi Yue just gave a wave of his hand. He didn’t speak.
He pressed his cell phone and saw the time on display: 21:59!
It quickly jumped to 22:00
His eyes lit up!
It was time.
A fighter jet flew in smoothly and landed right in front of the group!
Everyone was holding their breaths, their hearts racing, their fingers clenched tight.
Their eyes were bright as they looked at that fighter jet.
Right in front of the crowd, a dazzling figure leaped down from the jet!
Su Huiqing leaned over and put the child down on the ground.
She then turned and looked at the people. Under the lights, her bright, clear eyes with that devilish glint looked so familiar.
Chi Yue regained his composure and performed a proper military salute. “Unknown Island, Rapid Fire Mercenary Regiment, Chi Yue.”
“Unknown Island, laboratory member, Liu Heng!”
“Unknown Island, International Prison Division, Feng Yu!”
“…”
“Welcome back, King!”
They had been waiting for her return all this while. This moment had finally arrived.
Their shouts were so vigorous that the nearby birds were all startled. They flapped their wings and flew away!
Everyone was gazing at Su Huiqing with bright, eager eyes.
There was no other feeling like this in the world.
After waiting for so long, they still remembered the shock and bittersweet feeling when they first heard the news.
The tacit agreement to protect Unknown Island.
Their determination to never give up over the past year.
The undying faith to safeguard Unknown Island.
They had been here all along.
No one knew if she would ever return. But everyone made the same personal decision.
To wait for a person who might never come back.
Until this moment when they were looking at this person. They finally realized it had all been worth it!
Su Huiqing walked over and looked at them. She smiled, her eyes deep and profound. “From today onwards, Unknown Island will return to the International Association. Are you scared?”
She spoke lightly, but her words echoed in their ears.
Chi Yue was the first to smile. “I have waited for this day for a long time.”
Apart from him, no one at present knew that she had truly died then.
Death. That word was always on his mind.
From that time after he met Su Huiqing, he was unable to come to terms with that word. In addition, when he heard that recording while checking the surveillance footage at Monster University…
Chi Qing…
He mouthed that name silently.
Chi Yue lowered his eyes, concealing the bloodlust in his eyes.
Su Huiqing just raised her hand and brushed back her fringe. She chuckled. “Our first battle will be with Song San!”
—
At Apollo’s hideout.
Song San was still standing there, brooding.
Apollo shoved his hands into his pockets and sneered at Song San. “Master San, are you still going to try and arrest me?”
Song San slowly turned toward Apollo. His eyes were pitch-black and he no longer looked as calm. “Illegal trade in military firearms. You need to be arrested.”
He brushed his own sleeves. “As for the person impersonating the Queen of Mercenaries, I will get to the bottom of that.”
Song San gazed imperiously at Apollo, his eyes rather grim.
He knew better than anyone else that the person was already dead. The grave was still there. How could she appear again?
Apollo’s men immediately raised their weapons.
Song San crossed his arms behind his back. He looked at Apollo and said gravely, “Apollo, go ahead and fire. I guarantee that none of you will be able to escape.”
Apollo remained standing there, his eyes sharp and harsh.
He was not going to yield.
At this moment.
Countless spotlights shone down.
Scores of fighter jets appeared, all of which had some intricate carvings at the side.
Under the bright lights, the carvings reflected coldly.
Those carvings…
“People from Unknown Island!”
There were several cries of shock.
Unknown Island had cut their ties with the world for a year. Almost no one had heard any news about Unknown Island for the past 12 months.
It was like Unknown Island, the place which had previously turned the entire International Association upside down, had ceased to exist.
Everyone instinctively went on high alert on seeing people from Unknown Island again.
Song San stared at Chi Yue. “Chi Yue, do you know what you are doing?”
Chi Yue walked nonchalantly over to Apollo’s side. He smiled. “Of course.”
Apollo maintained his calm from start till end.
He knew that Su Huiqing wouldn’t leave him behind…
“Don’t forget that you have no right to represent Unknown Island. Don’t forget your own status. If you are taking advantage of this situation to create trouble, get the person backing you to come talk to me directly.” Song San glared at Chi Yue.
He was trying to force Chi Yue’s hand.
He was well aware of the fact that Chi Yue was definitely involved in tonight’s incident.
The two sides faced off with each other.
At this moment, a voice sounded out from nearby.
“He doesn’t have the right, but what about me?”
Low, sharp and cold.
Everyone turned toward the voice.
An erect figure strolled over.
Dressed in black, her eyes were lowered such that no one could see them clearly. All they could see were the sharp planes of her face.
But complete silence descended the moment the crowd saw this figure.
