"Why are you barging into our Iceberg Restaurant's territory? What exactly is your purpose?"
……
Ye Ritian calmly looked at them. They were all fierce-looking, burly men, each holding a weapon. They were white men who did not look like good people, and all their weapons were locked on him.
Ye Ritian, fearless, lifted his foot and walked forward. The men were terrified; seeing that the enemy was not obeying orders, they were about to fire when they suddenly collapsed to the ground, powerless.
Swish swish!
boom!
One by one they fell. Those further back, witnessing this, were filled with rage and were just about to warn others of an enemy attack when they too collapsed.
Like dominoes falling one after another, some people fell flat on their faces and blocked the way.
Ye Ritian looked at them, his brows furrowed, a hint of emotion in his eyes.
"This corridor isn't very big to begin with, and with all these tall people taking up so much space, how am I supposed to walk?"
Then I stepped over their bodies, stepping on them where there were gaps, and stepping directly on them where there were no gaps, while wiping the soles of my shoes.
After confirming that no one had seen him, Ye Ritian muttered, "Damn it, blame them for making the corridor too small. With two rows of people standing in the middle, there's only a little bit of space for one person to stand upright and pass through. You can imagine how small this place is."
Ye Ritian reached the end of the corridor, turned a corner, and found no one there.
"It seems that the control here is both strict and lax..." Perhaps no one expected that someone would dare to break into their camp.
Ye Ritian shook his head and continued walking. He came to a large hall, and gradually, the further he went, the more people there were.
A henchman approached and, after a brief exchange, led Ye Ritian past them to a secluded space deep within. There, they found a room with two henchmen standing at the door. The henchman then led the way.
When Ye Ritian arrived, two burly white men opened the door for him. Although they were puzzled as to why there weren't two, since they had been notified that two people were coming, that wasn't their concern. They were only concerned with what they were paid for.
They opened the door for Ye Ritian, who didn't stand on ceremony and stepped inside.
As soon as I entered, a slightly shrill, hoarse voice rang out.
"Welcome, our second... uh, our friend. Who are you, and where is Selena?"
At the same time, Ye Ritian immediately felt dozens of gazes falling on him. Several burly men stood in the distance, some of whom seemed to have ill intentions. If an ordinary person had come in and encountered this scene, they would probably have wet themselves in fear.
However, Ye Ritian remained unfazed and did not care about any of this. He was calm and composed. Even though these people were gang leaders with many underlings, to him, they were no different from ants.
He wouldn't care about their menacing eyes. He was someone who had even slaughtered gods. He had just come out to play around in the mortal world and hadn't done anything that would cause a global sensation. Did they really think he was just an ordinary person?
Ye Ritian remained calm, his gaze falling on the penguin man who stood out prominently in the crowd. He was the one who had just spoken; his distinctive appearance made him hard to miss.
Penguin is generally a warm welcome to everyone. Those who know him well know that this is his consistent behavior, because he is very polite and enthusiastic to everyone. Of course, when he is plotting against you behind your back and preparing to kill you, he will not hesitate at all.
Seeing that Ye Ritian did not speak, the Penguin frowned slightly, stood up and asked with a puzzled expression, "I'll say it again, who are you? Where is Selena?" His voice was cold and slightly angry.
Swish swish!
Penguin made a gesture, and his men all pointed their weapons at Ye Ritian. This man of unknown origin had trespassed into their territory, and if he didn't explain himself, he would be riddled with bullets in an instant.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became heavy.
Ye Ritian looked at the group of people and said calmly, "My name is Ye Ritian. Selena went to the restroom. I am the person you arranged to meet with her."
He glanced at the Penguin indifferently. This man with a tragic fate was a pitiful person. Although he was a villain and involved in organized crime, his path to the underworld was forced upon him by unavoidable circumstances.
Huh? !
Penguin exclaimed in surprise, not believing his nonsense. This man remained calm and composed in the face of being surrounded by dozens of people, as if the guns were not pointed at him. Penguin couldn't help but admire the Asian man's courage.
Sen Han said, "Ye Ritian? In such an important occasion, she went to the restroom and left you alone to make a deal with us. It's obviously very unusual. She wouldn't act so recklessly. You, an unknown small-time businessman, dare to trespass on my territory. Kid, I admire you!"
The other gang leaders also had grim expressions. They felt they had been provoked. How dare a mere kid come and make a deal with them? Who were they? They were people who walked on the edge of a knife and licked blood at every turn.
"Hey Asian kid, you've got guts!"
The black men sized up Ye Ritian. Was this fair-skinned Asian man tired of living? What was wrong with those calm eyes of yours? Shouldn't you be showing fear and panic when you meet us?
Ye Ritian's eyes were calm as he calmly said, "Down!"
Words become law; invisible thoughts and rules suddenly descend.
Swish swish!
Under the penguin's bewildered gaze, his henchmen, one by one, with their strangely unfocused pupils and vacant eyes, suddenly collapsed to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Countless large white men lay on the ground, their fates unknown, whether dead or unconscious.
In the blink of an eye, only the penguin was left standing in the hall, and he was dumbfounded.
boom!
A bolt from the blue struck Penguin's heart, bombarding his mind. His eyes glazed over, staring in horror at the scene before him. His chest heaved, and his breathing became rapid.
"This, what kind of method is this?"
The penguin was utterly astonished. Could an ordinary person really do this? The next moment, he displayed his extraordinary talent and courage. The penguin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and looked at Ye Ritian.
"My friend who has come from afar, what is your purpose in visiting me? I don't think I have offended you, have I?"
The penguin's terrified eyes revealed a hint of awe. He carefully searched his memories but couldn't find any record of any conflict with Ye Ritian. Ye Ritian? An Easterner? There were hardly any people with the surname Ye in his life, so how could he have offended him? He finally concluded that he didn't know him at all.
Penguin's thoughts raced. He was certain that the other party had used unpredictable methods to knock out his men, leaving him the only one unharmed. They must be seeking revenge or had something to do with him, and it was definitely looking for him.
"Perhaps it's related to his deal, the business Selena was talking about!" the Penguin thought to himself.
Unfortunately, even someone as intelligent as him can make mistakes.
Ye Ritian said indifferently, "You really haven't offended me in any way. I'm only here because of personal matters and to drop by and see you..."
After a pause, Ye Ritian changed his tone and said softly, "As for the transaction, it was completely fabricated. I only used Selena to get in touch with you. I didn't come to find you in my own way, because I was afraid you would be frightened!"
The self-healing pills were just something he made up. Of course, these little things do have the effect of healing injuries. If he wanted to, he could easily make up countless pills with a single thought. In essence, he wasn't lying.
But he didn't come here to make money; he couldn't really get himself into trouble. There was a whole mess waiting for him to deal with in the main universe, and he needed to go back as soon as possible.
Penguin's heart skipped a beat: "Did I guess wrong? The other party isn't here to discuss business, but for personal matters. Holy crap, that crazy woman Selena ruined my life!"
What did the other person say? I haven't offended him. He came all this way just to see me? What's going on? Does he admire me and idolize me? I'm a gangster, what's so interesting about me?
Damn it! Could he be a fan of mine? He even said he'd visit me in his own way? What way? Is it some weird way of drugging people? He can knock someone out with just one word? What if he's targeting me? He must have other abilities.
"What should we do? What should we do? Stay calm. I am the King of Gotham City. I cannot be afraid of him."
The penguin remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was in a state of utter panic. The strangeness and wonder of his opponent were enough to show that he was no match for him at all, and that running away and resisting seemed so pale and powerless.
The penguin looked up at Ye Ritian and saw that he exuded an indescribable aura of nobility, as if he were the center of the world, and all the spotlights and descriptions of the scenery should revolve around him, and countless eyes should be focused on his majestic figure.
The penguin was stunned, speechless, and stammered, "This...this..." He tried to calm himself down.
He felt as if he were facing a true god, no, God.
"This guy's mystery is as profound as the vast universe. I still can't figure out how he took down all my men in one fell swoop!" The Penguin frowned and pondered. The other's figure shone with endless dazzling colors in his vision, extremely beautiful and eye-catching. His ambiguous temperament made it difficult to see through his true identity.
"This is definitely not as simple as an ordinary person. Is he using hypnosis?"
The penguin's eyes shifted rapidly, filled with countless emotions and surprise. His composure, which he had maintained, finally crumbled.
Ye Ritian observed the penguin's panic and various physical states. Even gods could not escape his perception and insight, let alone the subtle states and changeable nature of mortals. He smiled calmly.
Thoughts lingering, objective evaluation
"I admire and sympathize with this villain. At least from my perspective, I can't bring myself to hate him. I wouldn't mind helping you, Penguin!"
Ye Ritian sorted out his thoughts, cleared his mind, looked up at the Penguin, and asked in a gentle, mysterious tone, "Do you believe that people can come back to life?"
Chapter 210 His pitiful parents who resurrected the penguin.
"Resurrection from the dead?"
Upon hearing this, the Penguin's expression changed drastically, his face instantly filled with anger. In that same instant, he forgot the atmosphere of the scene: amidst countless bodies lying haphazardly, two people stood eerily talking to each other across the distance, chatting calmly, which was quite terrifying and sinister.
"Ye Ritian, what exactly do you want to say?" the Penguin almost roared, his face hideous and his expression deranged.
It's hard to imagine why the Penguin, who was just calm a moment ago, would suddenly become like this. Even when Ye Ritian showed his superpowers, he couldn't elicit much of a reaction from the King of Gotham. But now, he was utterly shocked and terrified.
This is not hard to understand. The Penguin's real name is Oswald Chesterfield Cobport, and he is a member of the Cobport family, one of the four major families in Gotham City.
Before becoming the underground mob boss of Gotham, he had a tragic childhood. Because of his short stature, he was ridiculed and bullied by his peers, which made him extremely self-conscious.
After that, he became a gangster and lived in Gotham. Later, his mother died in front of him, and he experienced the pain of losing a loved one. His only close relative was gone, and no one in the world loved him anymore. He was heartbroken and devastated.
After many trials, his biological father, the patriarch of the Cobblepot family, found him. This father, whom he had never met, loved him very much and was very understanding and attentive to the penguin's past actions.
At the same time, he felt guilty and remorseful, and felt sorry for the child. He secretly vowed to take good care of him and make up for the love he had lost.
After his mother's death, the penguin once again felt the love from his family. During this time, the penguin reformed himself and decided to become a good person, completely suppressing his evil intentions.
Ye Ritian had no doubt that if nothing unexpected happened, this trend would continue, and Gotham's future would not have one more mob boss, but one more philanthropist.
Unfortunately, fate is unkind, and destiny plays tricks on people.
Unexpectedly, the Penguin's stepmother and her family were very unhappy with him, who had suddenly appeared and was vying with them for property and power. The Penguin's arrival meant that after his father's death, the Cobblepot family business would be taken over by the Penguin. Although he had been living away from home and had not made their parent-child relationship public, they still had legal inheritance rights.
This was not what they wanted to see, so they tried to poison the penguin. However, the poison was accidentally drunk by the penguin's father. The old father, who already had a heart condition, drank the poison, which undoubtedly hastened his death. He went to meet God.
The penguin was devastated by his father's passing. The only person who loved him was gone, and he cried his heart out. He couldn't understand why this had happened. His father had been perfectly fine just a few days ago. Without any warning, his father suddenly passed away. Even if it was a heart attack, it was impossible for him to die so suddenly. He still had medication to take.
He felt that perhaps this was his fate. He accepted reality with a sense of dejection, believing it to be a sudden event beyond human control, and immersed himself in grief...
One day, however, he accidentally smelled a pungent odor in the kitchen, exactly the same as the wine glass his father had been drinking from and the smell on his breath. His expression changed, and he sensed something was wrong. Looking at the bottle of liquid with a pungent odor in his hand, he examined it with shifty eyes.
He happened to see an unlucky dog nearby, so he glanced at it and immediately decided to use it as a test subject. As expected, the dog was poisoned and he was shocked.
His father's death was indeed suspicious. He recalled everything that happened that day and, after a series of investigations, discovered that someone had poisoned his father to murder him.
