Beautiful CEO's Top Expert-Chapter 1888 - 1889: Mysterious Man vs. Monarch

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, carrying an indescribable magnetism, along with a hint of arrogance.

Upon hearing this voice, the King's face suddenly darkened, while the expressions of Xiao Jiangnan and others changed.

They had completely taken control of the cargo ship; it was impossible for anyone to board. Even if someone did, they would definitely be discovered by them. Yet, there was no sign at all now.

They had boarded the ship using a submarine, so how did this person get on?

On the other hand, Qiu Ruoxi and the others felt a sudden joy in their hearts. Although they didn't know who the newcomer was, it was evident that he intended to protect Ye Xunhuan with his words.

Furthermore, since the person dared to speak like this, he must surely not fear the King. Otherwise, he wouldn't act so boldly.

Ye Xunhuan slowly turned his head towards the source of the voice. He saw a man wearing a cyan robe and a mask standing at the highest part of the cargo ship, not knowing when he had gotten there.

The evening breeze blew, making the man's robe flutter in the wind, giving him an ethereal and elegant appearance.

Due to the mask the man wore, no one could see his face, only the pair of eyes exposed outside.

The man's eyes were profound and spirited, appearing exceedingly calm. Yet, it was precisely this calm gaze that carried a deep-seated magnetism, while giving one the feeling that these timeworn eyes were very sharp, as if they could easily discern the true thoughts within your heart, leaving you with no secrets before him!

The man stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the King and the others!

"Who are you?"

"Didn't you look for me? How come you couldn't find out my identity?" the man said calmly.

"You're the one who rescued Ye Xunhuan from Miaojiang!" The King's face became serious, "You also killed the Asura King!"

"That's right!" The man readily admitted, "King, originally I didn't want to confront you directly, but you've gone too far this time!"

"Phoenix's only son, his only flesh and blood, and you say kill and you kill. How should those of us who have benefited from Phoenix show our faces?" The man said, neither too loud nor too soft, "I will protect him. Take your people and leave the way you came!"

Arrogant.

Ye Xunhuan was arrogant enough, but compared to the King, there was still a slight difference, and even the King was arrogant enough, yet compared to this man before him, he was still slightly inferior!

Most importantly, the King was the foremost protector of Huaxia, reputed to be the number one person in Huaxia at present. Whether or not this title contained any water, someone who could be worthy of this title could certainly be counted on one hand!

Yet now, this man almost disregarded the King with just a single sentence.

If it were anyone else, after hearing such contemptuous words from the man, their hearts would surely be filled with anger. But the King was not.

He remained the same as before, with a face full of tranquility, just like a pool of water without the slightest ripple.

"Although I don't know exactly who you are, you are absolutely the first, in so many years, to speak to me in such a tone!" the King said coldly, "I hope your strength matches your arrogance!"

The man let out a light laugh, "It seems, you intend to make a move against me?"

"What do you think?"

"King, you better think carefully about the consequences," the man said calmly, "I am not like you, with no one watching over me!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Upon hearing the man's words, the King seemed to think of something, and his face darkened.

"If you aren't afraid of mutual destruction, and your adversary then acts against you, then you can go ahead and bring it on!"

At this moment, the man had made his stance clear; he was determined to protect Ye Xunhuan. If you fight, I fear no battle!

Looking at the man before him, the King's face began to change unpredictably. If he were to let Ye Xunhuan be taken away like this, his heart would surely be filled with reluctance.

But if he didn't let him be taken away, a battle today would be unavoidable!

Conflicted!

At this moment, the King's heart was filled with an indescribable sense of conflict!

The next moment, a fierce look flashed in the King's eyes, and he gritted his teeth, "I'll wait for him to come to me!"

With that, the King stomped his foot on the spot, leaping into the air straight towards the man.

"Swish!"

In the blink of an eye, the King was in front of the man, his right leg swung fiercely towards the man in a kick.

The moment the King leaped into the air, the man was already prepared to make his move. As the King's leg kicked down, the man suddenly raised his right hand!

"Bang!"

Hand and foot collided, immediately producing a dull sound.

"Snap!"

The King landed directly beside the man, the two of them facing each other. A mix of ice and fire slowly emerged in mid-air, enveloping the whole surrounding area with a cold murderous intent.

"Who on earth are you?" the King asked once again.

"The time has not come, when it does, you will naturally know!"

The man's voice remained very calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if his heart had completely attained a state of tranquility, unaffected by external matters!

"Pretending to be mysterious!"

With that, the King took a sudden step forward, his right hand extending towards the man to grab him.

This grab from the King was swift and fierce, with immense strength. If the King caught him, the least that would happen to this man would be a blood mark on his body!

But how could the man possibly let the King catch him?

Just as the King's right hand was about to fall on the man's chest, the man subtly shifted his step, deftly dodging not only that, but his entire body swooped behind the King with a waver, his right hand quickly reaching out to grab onto the King's shoulder.

But before the man's hand could grasp the King's shoulder, the King suddenly leaned backward as if drunk, while lifting his right leg abruptly upwards like an inverted hook, kicking toward the man.

This sudden change of move by the King forced the man to withdraw his hand and defend!

"Bang!"

The King's right leg landed directly on the man's arm, a terrifying force erupting, forcing the man to retreat two steps.

And at this moment, the King suddenly turned, looking at the man.

The man gently patted his robe, and said calmly, "The inverted hook is trained well, but the strength is somewhat lacking!"

The King snorted coldly, "I'm asking you one last time, who exactly are you?"

"What, are you going to gather your Qi into a blade to kill me?" the man said softly, "If so, bring it on, let me see what level your blade technique has reached now!"

The man's demeanor was utterly nonchalant, not placing the King in his regard at all, or rather, the man wasn't afraid of the King in the slightest.

Even if the King gathered his Qi into a blade, he was fearless!
