Chapter 775: The Chief Seat Is Really Putting on Airs Today

Although Chen Ye seemed to be in better shape than Jiang Rou and Sun Xixi after his fight with Number Two,

the battle had actually pushed him closer to his limits than it had either of them.

His opponent had been Number Two, after all. Even with the boost from its fear ability,

Number Two was still Number Two.

While his body had yet to fully recover and he had no fear power to rely on, making You Hu cry with a single punch was already the limit of what Chen Ye could manage right now.

After all, You Hu had used the power of his dharma form in that punch.

He had heard that when You Hu first arrived here, he had fought Jiang Rou and had even been thoroughly beaten by her.

Jiang Rou probably hadn’t fully recovered then, either. She had likely been injured as well, though no one knew it.

Just like his own condition now...

That woman clearly hadn’t recovered, yet she went around picking fights and provoking people. He had to admit, she really was a lunatic.

He’d heard that the woman hadn’t rested at all last night, going around looking for people to fight.

That morning, Chen Ye had even seen the crazy woman return to Building 15, exhausted and covered in blood.

Of course, Sun Xixi wasn’t much better. She clearly hadn’t fully recovered, but her training was no less intense. If anything, she was working harder and harder.

After Chen Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, he actually felt much better.

But his plan to wait until his Supernatural Power had recovered a little and then enter the Ghost Prison to see what was going on with Number Two would probably have to be put on hold for now.

He wanted to find out why Hundred-Ghost Eater was still evolving, and when it would finally finish!

Still, that fight had brought its share of benefits.

At the very least, he had completely secured his position as Chief Seat.

As the impact of Chen Ye’s battle with You Hu began to show,

the other Guard Team Thirteen captains all looked at Chen Ye with respect in their eyes.

No one dared treat anything Chief Seat Chen Ye said as bullshit anymore.

For instance, when the Chief Seat said there would be a meeting that morning, not a single person dared skip it.

Even You Hu, who hadn’t planned on seeing anyone these past few days, had come. He just kept his head down and said nothing, making it impossible to read his expression.

Quite a few people couldn’t help holding back their laughter when they saw You Hu.

You Hu glared at every one of them.

His younger sister, You Mengmeng, also sat beside him with her head lowered.

As timid as she was, she didn’t dare glare at everyone the way her brother did, but deep down, she had firmly labeled them all as bad people.

Of course, everyone knew how unnerving this little girl could be, so no one dared look down on her.

Wang Yu, the Snake-Man Blood Pupil who had previously lost the seventh position, was in a pretty good mood now, too.

He didn’t hold the slightest grudge against You Hu.

He had been defeated by You Hu in front of so many people that day, which had been humiliating.

But You Hu had been made to cry with a single move by the Chief Seat, so he’d lost even more face.

Compared with You Hu, the sixth-position captain, his own little humiliation was nothing.

Jiang Rou openly teased him. “Little Hu, done crying yet?”

At the moment, Jiang Rou was seated at the left end of the long table, her pair of long legs propped right up on it.

It had to be said, the woman had arrived looking exhausted just a moment ago.

Now she was full of energy again.

What kind of woman was she? She was practically stronger than a mutated ghost ox.

Those long, straight, pale legs of hers were something no one dared look at, except Chen Ye.

Sun Xixi sat quietly beside them, feeling a little disgruntled, too.

She sneaked a look at her own long legs...

Well, her legs weren’t short either. The main thing was, she wasn’t as flirtatious or as uninhibited as Jiang Rou.

Hmph, that shameless woman!!!

Lin Qingge sat quietly in her seat, speaking very little from beginning to end and simply smiling warmly.

There were plenty of people who weren’t convinced that Lin Qingge had become the fifth seat of Guard Team Thirteen.

But she was hugely popular.

She was also well-liked and had plenty of fans.

Some Superhumans were fans of hers, too.

So, not many people challenged her for the fifth seat.

Among the top five seats, Chen Ye had proven his strength by defeating You Hu.

The one person who had yet to prove himself was Wu Zehui.

There was no doubt that Wu Zehui was strong.

But many people expressed doubts about whether he could hold the third seat.

The sunny young man didn’t feel threatened in the slightest, though. He smiled at everyone and got along with anyone.

Some people even wanted to challenge him, and he simply smiled and nodded in agreement.

That left everyone unsure of just how strong Wu Zehui was. They could only conclude that the sunny young man was no simple character.

Chen Hao sat at the far end of the long table.

Recently, she had made a very good impression on the people of Xi City.

So everyone was happy to make friends with such a good person. Just about anyone could chat with the Stutterer for a while.

“The Chief Seat is here!”

Someone called out, and no one knew who it was.

Then everyone turned to look at the doorway.

This simple meeting room was actually in Building One of Happy Garden.

An Architect Sequence Superhuman from the Silent Council had made a few minor changes to its layout.

It had thus become the offices of Xi City’s various organizations.

They couldn’t very well make Guard Team Thirteen work out of some random place. That would look far too shabby.

Besides, changing the layout was no trouble at all for an Architect Sequence Superhuman.

Guard Team Thirteen’s office was a large room on the sixth floor of Building One.

A sign hung by the doorway.

It read, “Guard Team Thirteen Headquarters Office.”

The second floor was currently the Convoy Alliance’s office!

The Convoy Alliance was made up of the captains of the various convoys. It represented their respective convoys’ interests and governed Xi City jointly with the Silent Council.

The first, third, fourth, and fifth floors were temporarily vacant.

Chen Ye walked slowly into the office with a trench coat draped over his shoulders.

As he moved, the coat swayed from side to side in a steady rhythm, making him look like a real big shot. All he needed was some bgm to complete the effect.

Actually, Chen Ye’s chuunibyou getup was all thanks to one person: Little Fish.

Ever since Chen Ye became Chief Seat, Little Fish seemed to have become his assistant.

She had specifically found this trench coat for him to wear today.

She had even gone out of her way to tell him not to put it on, but just to drape it over himself. That was the look.

Chen Ye felt awkward wearing it, but Little Fish had insisted...

Considering he had thrown up blood in her vehicle and she had been the first to worry about whether he was all right,

he decided to let the little girl have her way this once.

The showy trench coat, combined with Chen Ye’s buzz cut that showed his scalp and his blood-red eye...

Well, the blood-red eye was hidden behind his Sunglasses.

Mm, at least that made Chen Ye look less frightening. And yes, wearing the Sunglasses had been Little Fish’s idea, too.

It seemed that Chen Ye really did have the bearing of a big shot today.

At that moment, everyone stood up.

Even Jiang Rou, the Demoness Jiang, who had her long legs propped on the table, pulled them down.

Chen Ye discreetly glanced at those straight, long legs, then acted as if nothing had happened.

After witnessing Chen Ye’s battle with Number Two, Jiang Rou’s opinion of him had been quietly changing.

Now, as far as she was concerned, no more than three people in all of Xi City could make her wary.

Chen Ye was one of them, and the one she feared most.

You Mengmeng obediently stood up as well, silently complaining to herself about the Chief Seat: The Chief Seat is putting on way too many airs today!
