Chapter 591: The King

"Explain clearly what exactly happened! And after last time's incident, I didn't bother checking—what happened to them, father and son?"

"Ou Yang had his Trainer license revoked and was sentenced to three years; Ou Ye was stripped of his King title."

Bai Jing nodded; this punishment was acceptable.

"And then? That old bastard harbored a grudge and plans to seek revenge on me?"

"More than that—he betrayed his country!"

"What…? Explain properly!"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue said: "He resented the state's punishment, first broke into prison to rescue his son, then smuggled himself abroad, and recently sneaked back—clearly intending to cause trouble!"

Bai Jing listened, stunned. "Wait, how could someone convicted be rescued from prison? How did those people do their jobs?"

"He was King for several years—he still had connections and influence. Plus, no one expected him to go this extreme, so it happened."

"Then how do you know he betrayed his country?"

"The father and son joined Sakura Nation and have been very conspicuous there."

Bai Jing nodded. International affairs were always messy—even if Dragon Nation labeled them fugitives, Sakura Nation wouldn't care, at most offering empty words.

"Why not do anything else, but become a traitor? If he's come, better to eliminate him now and clean house!"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue nodded. "The moment he joined Sakura Nation, he was added to the state's kill list. The military agrees with you—take him out while he's foolish enough to return!"

"So eliminating him is our mission?"

"That's only one part. Your other mission is to act as bait and lure him out."

"You lost track of his whereabouts?"

"Yes—he's a Psychic-type."

Psychic-types have cheating Instant Move—they can't be tracked at all. Just detecting his trail is already hard enough!

"Then what makes you think he'll come after me?"

"Maybe he secretly returned for other reasons, but given his vengeful nature, he won't let you go."

"Understood. How should I cooperate?"

A King has access to plenty of secrets. Perhaps Ou Ye risked returning because of some confidential matter. The state can't leave such a ticking bomb unattended—and it's also to protect Bai Jing, a key figure!

So Ou Ye absolutely must not escape.

"Didn't we just agree? We'll just go on vacation—that gives him an opening!"

"Fine, that's… wait, no!"

Bai Jing suddenly realized something. "He can't possibly be unaware of my strength. Do you think he'll fall for it?"

The Dragon Capital tournament was nationwide. His final battle with Long Shaoyun revealed Bai Jing's power at 980 Champion level. Even if Ou Ye were stupid, he wouldn't think he could easily overpower him.

"Also, I recall you said this man has no scruples. If he lacks confidence to retaliate against me directly, wouldn't he target my family to force me into a trap?"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue reassured him: "You can rest easy—your family has been placed under top-priority military protection. We fear him not coming, not him coming. As for you…"

"We must create an opportunity—an opportunity that feels utterly foolproof to him, to lure him into striking. We'll discuss the exact plan in detail."

"Good, now I'm reassured. Let's have some fun with him!"
