Chapter 278 Letter from Harafuji
Flying on his sword, Ye Jingchen arrived above his familiar home. He put away Wuming and leaped down.
As if she had expected this, Xia Mi quickly opened the balcony door, poked her head out, and glanced at Ye Jingchen. "Um... Boss, you're here."
Ye Jingchen nodded without saying anything more, and walked straight into the room. He closed his eyes and sensed the alchemical trap that Xia Mi had set up.
"Yes, it should be time zero. Your alchemical trap has detected this guy, but your reaction speed can't keep up with his movement speed."
"To be more precise, it's like that guy paused time in this area; he's got some skills."
Xia Mi subconsciously clenched her fists. "It's all my fault. I should have sent Su Xiaoqiang to the port. I would have stayed here to guard Black Egg."
Shaking his head, Ye Jingchen reached out and stroked the sofa where the black egg had been placed. "What's done is done, so there's no need to blame yourself anymore. Although he got his hands on it, he may not be able to get away now."
"We can't keep activating the Word of Power: Time Zero and heading north across the Dragon Kingdom, can we?"
Xia Mi's lips twitched, and she pouted. "It's probably not possible for an ordinary hybrid. Even I can't withstand the consumption of keeping time at zero."
This is quite normal, after all, Xia Mi's strength is well-known to the public.
"Go back to the port first and cooperate with Su Xiaoqiang. You can also take a look at those Japanese." Ye Jingchen flipped his hand and took out Wuming again, then jumped up. "I'll go find that guy and see if I can find him."
Flying into the air on his sword, Ye Jingchen used alchemy this time, since he was in the city center, to apply a mirror-like reflection effect to his body, making him appear as if he were invisible.
The cold wind howled in my ears. "Even if Xia Mi is weak, the Word of Power: Bloodline Binding that she activated is enough to cover a city. It seems that guy really has escaped from this city. I just wonder where he went?"
"Hara Fujinobu, oh, I remember now."
I remember during the Dragon Five era, the Snake Clan was thoroughly humiliated by Harafuji Nobuo after all their elite warriors perished.
During the Ryugo era, the patriarch was the charming woman Sakurai Nanami. Although she knew she was pushing the entire Snake-Headed Eight Families to the gambling table, she still couldn't do anything to Harafuji Nobuyuki, yet she still issued a kill order against him.
"Time Zero, truly worthy of being called the Phantom God of the Hybrid Civil War!"
"If only my starting move had been at time zero, Sword Control is still too demanding in terms of skill."
Word of Power - Sword Control: "..."
The phone vibrated again in my pocket.
Because of the heavy fog at high altitude, Ye Jingchen didn't look closely at the screen and answered the call directly.
Ye Jingchen: "Hello?"
Angers' voice came through: "We've found that guy using Norma."
Ye Jingchen: "Oh? That's amazing? How did you find it?"
Angers: "We first screened for any foreigners' mobile phones entering China, and then mobilized Norma's computing power to monitor these people during today's time period."
Finally, between 8:00 AM and 8:11 AM, it was discovered that an identity information point was moving extremely fast; eleven minutes ago it was in your area, and eleven minutes later it was in the next city.
Ye Jingchen: "Indeed, technology changes lives, but have you considered the issue of identity information being accessed from different locations?"
Angers: "Schneider and I had already considered this point. Norma has already drawn up a 2D map of this guy's area for us, so it can't be wrong."
Ye Jingchen: "Very good, send me the map, I'll go right now."
Angers: "It's already been sent."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Jingchen quickly opened his phone's map and moved towards the red dot.
Staring at the tiny, flashing red dot on my phone screen, I got closer and closer until finally, my location matched that little red dot.
A man wearing a black hoodie, with his face covered by a scarf, leaving only his eyes visible, holding a folding knife in his right hand and a black egg in his left, stood quietly on the rooftop.
As if noticing the gaze from above, the masked man looked up and was very displeased with Ye Jingchen's condescending attitude.
"How did you find me?"
Instead of answering the masked man's question, Ye Jingchen asked, "Did Odin send you to steal the Black Egg?"
A look of doubt crossed the masked man's eyes. "Who is Odin?"
"Don't you know who Odin is? Did Pompeii send you? Hara Fujinobu!" Ye Jingchen asked again.
"How dare you call a parent by their first name!" The folding knife's blade snapped out of its hilt, pointing at Ye Jingchen in the sky. "And how do you know my name?"
He shook his head slightly, staring at the masked man below, Harafuji Nobuyuki, "Just a name? I also know your Word of Power is Time Zero, aren't you surprised?"
In an instant, Harafuji Nobuyuki was covered in sweat. He had received inside information before he came: Ye Jingchen was still in Japan, so why did he suddenly arrive in China?
Fear surged through his spine like an electric current, reaching his toes; he didn't want to stay there a moment longer.
Time Zero is indeed a god-tier character in the Civil War, but Time Zero cannot fly and therefore has no air superiority.
Even Furuto no Nobuyuki wasn't confident he could fly up and harm Ye Jingchen. He had seen videos of Ye Jingchen's battles, and those dragon-like creatures hadn't been able to harm him, let alone himself.
Time Zero, the assassin within time, what does an assassin fear most? Tank warriors, of course.
Seeing that Harafuji Nobuyuki was about to run away, Ye Jingchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and snapped his fingers!
There was a "pop" sound!
A violent force descended from the sky!
Harafuji Nobu felt as if an invisible giant hand had slapped down on him.
The cracking sound of bones rubbing together in the neck was clearly audible, the spine was compressed and slightly bent, and the legs were as if they were filled with cement and could not be lifted.
"Word of Power: Royal Authority?" Harafuji Sukenobu's eyes darted from side to side in their sockets, a look of horror spreading across his face. "Genjiro is here too? Come out!"
"Wow, the Gattuso family's intelligence network is quite impressive. They even know about Genjiro's Word of Power. Well, that makes sense. After all, the Gattuso family is the head of the Secret Party, and the Secret Party has the advantage of being close to the source when it wants to obtain student files from Kassel College."
Ye Jingchen put away the nameless object and slowly walked to the side of Hara Fujinobu, patting him on the shoulder. "It's alright, don't worry. Genjiro isn't here, and this isn't the power of the king. The power of the king isn't that weak."
"If Genjiro were to activate his royal power, the cement floor would have cracked by now, and with your physical condition, you would be kneeling on the ground, unable to lift your head in an instant."
Upon hearing this description, Hara Fujinobu's fear of Genjiro increased even more, but what shocked him even more at this moment was Ye Jingchen!
A hybrid can only have one Word of Power; this is almost an ironclad rule!
In the mind of Nobuyuki Harafuji, only one kind of hybrid can break this iron law, and that is—"Hybrid Monarch"!
"You actually went that far?!" Hara Fujinobu's gaze towards Ye Jingchen suddenly changed, filled with fear, jealousy, and even more greed!
Ye Jingchen raised an eyebrow. "Oh, which step are you referring to?"
“A half-blood monarch!” Harafuji Nobuyuki uttered each word clearly.
Ye Jingchen smiled and shook his head. "I'm not a half-blood monarch now. You think this is royal power, right? Actually, it's alchemy. I increased the gravity in this area for a moment just now."
“Actually, I could have done this using just the Word of Power: Sword Control, but I was worried that you didn’t have much metal on you, so I chose this safer method.”
Harafuji Nobuyuki was taken aback. He had heard of alchemy before, but he had never studied it in detail. In his mind, alchemy was something used for scientific research.
Besides, with the power of words, who among the proper hybrids would research alchemy?
"Why are you telling me all this?" asked Harafuji Nobuyuki.
Ye Jingchen snatched the black egg back from his hand. "What do you think?"
