BXBX NOVEL Chapter 258 - 258: It Was This Gentleman Who Saved Us
“Captain Ling Fei, it was him who saved us.”
“That’s right, Captain Ling Fei. This gentleman here killed those people. I didn’t even get a chance to see clearly, and they were all dead.”
“Yes, I just felt this gentleman move his finger, and then they died.”
The Sky Eagle Base’s rescued civilians began speaking up for Ye Li. In their eyes, Ye Li not only saved them but also provided them with food, making him their savior.
Ling Fei heard these words, and her eyes widened in disbelief, as if everything was too incredible to be true.
“Is what you’re saying true?” Ling Fei asked the crowd.
“It’s true, Captain Ling Fei. This gentleman is truly an unparalleled powerhouse. He’s incredibly powerful,” a man quickly responded.
Ling Fei was surprised as she looked at Ye Li. All the dozens of corpses on the ground were second-tier Evolved Beings, and they all had a blood hole in the same place on their foreheads, undoubtedly from a single fatal blow.
She admitted that she couldn’t achieve such a one-hit kill. Could this person be even stronger than her?
Thinking about this, astonishment became more evident in Ling Fei’s beautiful eyes.
“Although you saved the people from our Sky Eagle Base, I still need to know your purpose. Is it simply to rescue them, or…”
Ling Fei’s words were left incomplete. She wanted to see how Ye Li would respond.
But she never dreamed that Ye Li would respond this way.
Ye Li looked calmly at Ling Fei and said slowly, “Do I need to tell you what my purpose is?”
Silence, a deadly silence.
Ling Fei had never encountered someone like Ye Li before. Her intuition told her that Ye Li was not a bad person because he had saved these civilians.
However, just to be sure, she needed to ask.
After all, this place was quite secluded, and they had investigated for a long time before discovering it. Yet this young man seemed to know everything. She wouldn’t believe there was no purpose behind it.
“I’ll give you one more chance. Now tell me or not?”
Ling Fei’s delicate face grew colder, and she stared at Ye Li.
“I’m very curious,” Ye Li said calmly.
“What are you curious about?” Ling Fei was puzzled.
Ye Li supported his chin with a hand and said, “I’m curious why a mere ant like you dares to say such things to me.”
“What!!!”
Not only Ling Fei and the members of the security team, but also the hundreds of ordinary civilians from the Sky Eagle Base were all stunned.
Captain Ling Fei… is an ant?
Keep in mind that Captain Ling Fei is a fifth-tier Evolved Being!
“How do you dare to call me an ant?” Ling Fei said coldly.
“Isn’t that what you are?” Ye Li said indifferently.
Ling Fei, the captain of the Sky Eagle Base’s security team, had never been called an ant by anyone before. Yet today, someone had referred to her as an ant, and she couldn’t help but be angry.
“You’re seeking death! How dare he call our captain an ant!”
“That’s right. He’s just a genetic warrior who dares not reveal his true realm, yet he dares to speak so arrogantly in front of our captain?”
“Captain, give this brat a lesson. Although he saved the civilians from our Sky Eagle Base, it must have been for a purpose.”
“Perhaps he’s one of the followers of the Fire-worshiping Sect, performing this act to deceive us and infiltrate our base as a spy.
The dozen or so members of the security team surrounding Ling Fei all started clamoring. They found Ye Li to be extremely arrogant and believed that if they didn’t teach him a good lesson, he wouldn’t understand the concept of respecting others..
