For some reason, it always felt like this Black Peng was coming directly for him.

After chatting for a while, Ye Chen clasped his hands and said to Xiao Fan, "Brother Xiao Fan, I have some things to handle, so I'll leave for a bit. Please call me when it's time to go."

"Alright, Brother Ye Chen, take care of your business first, then," Xiao Fan replied.

Heading downstairs, Ye Chen called Supreme, who was thrilled to hear Ye Chen was coming and promptly sent over the location.

Ye Chen glanced at the location; it wasn't in this area but right in the center of the Second Region, Pufa District.

Upon arriving at the location sent by Supreme, it turned out to be an extremely well-guarded area, with the outer wall standing fifty meters high and connected to an electric current.

Twenty guards were stationed outside.

As soon as he reached the gate, all twenty guards surrounded him, aiming their guns at Ye Chen.

"Who goes there? This is the Law Enforcement Alliance's core base, entry is forbidden,"

one of them shouted at Ye Chen sternly, their eyes filled with vigilance.

Ye Chen looked at the guns in the guards' hands; they were forged from Heart Core as well, seemingly more advanced than the X-1 Laser Gun.

It appeared to be a new product developed recently.

These people were just doing their jobs, and Ye Chen naturally wouldn't pick a fight with them.

"I'm here to meet someone. Someone from inside will be coming to get me shortly,"

The two guards exchanged a look; the wariness in their eyes diminished slightly, and their attitude towards Ye Chen grew a tad more courteous.

"Alright, please wait here for a moment. This place is classified and off-limits to outsiders. We hope you understand,"

Ye Chen nodded in acknowledgment, indicating he understood.

It wasn't even ten minutes before Supreme came running out.

Supreme, donned in white battle armor with a golden medal on his chest inscribed with the word 'Breakthrough'.

The guards, seeing Supreme, immediately saluted respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Lord Supreme."

Supreme nodded, then looked at Ye Chen, approaching with an excited face, and laughed heartily, "Brother Ye Chen, long time no see!"

Ye Chen clasped his hands with a smile, "Long time no see."

"Come, come, have a seat inside. You must be tired from the journey. Come in and rest for a bit,"

Supreme warmly laughed.

This time, there was no hindrance from the guards as they went inside.

When they got inside, Ye Chen finally saw the inner situation clearly.

The entire area, along with its buildings, resembled a mechanical city, full of scientific aura.

Supreme smiled and said, "Brother Ye Chen, this used to be the Science Academy of the Second Region, now it's a base for the Law Enforcement Alliance. The people here before have been relocated elsewhere and it's now reserved for us Breakthrough warriors."

In other words, now everyone here was a Breakthrough.

Ye Chen nodded and asked, "So how many Breakthroughs are here approximately?"

Supreme thought for a moment and replied, "About 230 or so."

"Hmm, so many? Doesn't the whole country only have thirty-eight regions? Didn't Celestial Net say there were only two or three Breakthroughs per region?"

Supreme bitterly smiled and said, "That's us. In the Seventh Region, there are only three, but other places have more. There's nothing we can do because our geographical environment isn't favorable. Our Seventh Region is right in the middle, not near the sea, not near the mountains, and not near the Desert. Although we're next to dangers like the Desert Strait, we also have lots of resources. The more dangerous the place, the more monsters there are. And with more monsters, Pet Tamers grow faster, alas."

Supreme sighed and continued, "Like the Thirty-second Region next to the West Desolate Land, they brought seven Breakthroughs this time, all very strong. This Second Region as well, has reached double digits of Breakthroughs; the Seventh Region has the fewest. Here, I endure bullying and scorn almost every day, but there's nothing I can do because I'm the weakest. Now that you're here, things are much better, at least I have an ally, haha!"

Supreme finished with a hearty laugh.

"Hey, isn't this Supreme? What made you so happy, laughing even more than when you were forced to sing 'Conquered' last night?"

Three men blocked Ye Chen and Supreme's path, laughing sarcastically.

Supreme's face instantly darkened, and he said coldly, "Jiang Bei, my brother is here today, I'm not in the mood to joke around, move aside."

But the three had no intention of leaving.

Supreme snorted and tried to take Ye Chen and walk past them.

Jiang Bei followed with a sound and blocked their path again.

Jiang Bei was from the Nineteen Region, tall and sturdy, towering over Supreme.

"Jiang Bei, don't push people too far, move aside."

Jiang Bei looked down with a sneer at Supreme, derisively saying, "You want to pass? It's simple, crawl through here."

After saying this, Jiang Bei spread his legs, signaling for Supreme to crawl through.

Supreme gritted his teeth, glaring at Jiang Bei with anger and said, "Jiang Bei, don't push people too far! Move aside!"

"Push people too far, push people too far, can you say something else? Really!"

Jiang Bei laughed heartily.

"Humph, let's go!"

Supreme took Ye Chen, intending to turn and leave.

As soon as they turned to leave, the other two blocked Supreme's way again.

"Brother Supreme, don't be in such a hurry to leave, hand over your World Stone to me, please. I'm willing to pay ten million Gold Coins for it. You see, you've already become a Breakthrough warrior, it won't be much use for you. Why not sell it to me? If anyone bullies you again, I'll help you!"

Jiang Bei approached Supreme, speaking jovially.

"World Stone?" Ye Chen looked at Supreme in surprise, not expecting him to possess the World Stone.

"Aren't you already a Breakthrough warrior? Why are you still fixated on my World Stone?"

Supreme said, suppressing his anger.

"Hehehe, I have a fourth brother who's about to be Level 70. I'll give it to him. Brother Supreme, just transfer it to me. Look, so many are eyeing you here, in here they just bully you, but if you go outside, they might even kill you for it. You know the saying, 'treasuring a jade ring invites trouble.' Giving it to me in exchange for my gratitude while keeping yourself safe, isn't that great?"

Jiang Bei appealed both emotionally and logically.

Supreme, with a gloomy face, fell into pondering, indicating his beginning to hesitate.

Seeing this, Ye Chen stepped forward, coldly saying to Jiang Bei, "Get lost!"

He couldn't allow Supreme to really hand over the World Stone, as he needed it himself.

Jiang Bei was stunned, surprised this kid dared talk to him like that.

"Damn, what kind of creature are you, daring to talk to me like that, get lost!"

Jiang Bei cursed angrily, raising his hand to slap Ye Chen.

Swish!

A cold flash swept by, the Thunder Shocking Blade sliced across Jiang Bei's hand.

A little finger instantly flew off.

"Ah!"

Jiang Bei screamed, quickly clutching his little finger, cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Hiss!

Jiang Bei gasped, enduring the pain and glaring at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with rage.

Ye Chen sneered, "You should feel lucky; otherwise, it wouldn't have been just your finger, but your entire hand."
