CHAPTER 639: CHAPTER 639: FORMER LIFE-AND-DEATH ENEMY

In the study, Ye Fan and Chu Erzhu were sitting opposite each other.

Ye Fan was extremely calm, like unshakable thunder, serene as water.

Chu Erzhu, on the other hand, was a bit uneasy. After all, the person sitting in front of him was the renowned Terminator. In front of his family, he could remain calm and regard Ye Fan as an ordinary person, because he was convinced that neither his son nor his granddaughter knew Ye Fan’s true identity. With family present, he could not lose composure, but now that they were alone, unease was inevitable.

If Ye Fan were truly an ordinary person or not the Terminator, even if he were a prince of a nation, he still wouldn’t be a big figure in Chu Erzhu’s eyes. But the Terminator was too special to be taken lightly.

From Chu Erzhu’s esteemed status, you could see his cautiousness in front of Ye Fan, showing just how supreme Ye Fan’s status was.

"Should I call you Terminator, or God?" Chu Erzhu gazed at Ye Fan with probing and careful inquiry.

"Nicknames are what others call me, they don’t matter to me. You should just call me by my name." Ye Fan said lightly.

The fact that the two could sit together wasn’t just about a simple private chat; Chu Erzhu represented the organization, and Ye Fan’s attitude directly related to the organization’s direction.

Chu Erzhu was slightly moved; he didn’t expect Ye Fan to be so composed. He understood deeply that it was because of Mengyao’s sake, otherwise, he wouldn’t have the chance to sit with Ye Fan, that was still uncertain.

"The fact that the Terminator would treat someone courteously is of great honor to many, and I’m no exception. It all hinges on my granddaughter’s connection; otherwise, the relationship between you and me would definitely be bad." Chu Erzhu said earnestly.

"Our relationship is indeed not good, that’s the truth." Ye Fan casually said, "But considering you are Mengyao’s elder, our relationship can be good, at least it’s not in an adversarial state, right?"

There was more to Ye Fan’s words: whether to be adversarial or not depended on what Chu Erzhu did.

Chu Erzhu naturally understood this, and immediately showed a bitter expression.

"Because of the uniqueness of my work, I’ve owed my family too much. Just now, I just wanted to have a private chat with you. Look at how my son reacted, immediately complaining about me, afraid I would interrogate you like a criminal." Chu Erzhu said with bitterness, to the heavens he could hold his head high, to the people he felt no shame, but to his family, he had too many regrets.

He paused before saying, "So, since you are my granddaughter’s beloved, even if the sky falls, I will support my granddaughter."

The implication of his words was that Mengyao’s choice was his choice; he would not take an adversarial path against Ye Fan.

Though both Ye Fan and Chu Erzhu’s words were tactful, the deep meanings within the words were understood by both.

Ye Fan had learned about Chu Erzhu’s past, and for Chu Erzhu’s description, it could directly be summarized with the word "great." The word "great" is the highest praise. Ye Fan did not comment on this, even though he might admire or respect Chu Erzhu’s character, it didn’t have much to do with him. Even if Chu Erzhu had regrets towards his family, that was the result of Chu Erzhu’s own choices.

"Remember the autumn three years ago? That was your seventh mission in Huaxia, all eight missions before and after entering Huaxia were a great success without significant obstacles. Using the phrase ’invincible and unstoppable’ to describe it couldn’t be more appropriate."

Chu Erzhu said with a complex expression, "During your seventh mission, we swore to unite and kill you, to break world legends and myths, and to put an end to the Terminator by our hand."

"But facts proved that our idea was too naive. That time, we were utterly defeated, complete with abandoned armor and fled."

Talking about this, he felt a lot of emotions, then said with a rueful smile, "And during my leading people to ambush you, I got kicked off the cliff by you. If it was not for my good fortune at the time, I might have died from the fall."

Chu Erzhu recalled the unpleasant past and the enmity with the Terminator.

At that time, Ye Fan was indeed a great enemy of Chu Erzhu’s organization, a nemesis, and even an enemy that was spoken of with a changed complexion.

"At that time, when I was kicked by you and almost died from the fall, I was so angry that I vomited blood and felt ashamed, swearing revenge. But later, during your eighth mission in Huaxia, you still completed it freely and then left easily, time and time again, we were defeated miserably." Chu Erzhu spoke cautiously.

Ye Fan certainly remembered the past events, vividly.

While Chu Erzhu spoke, Ye Fan could only listen.

"However, when you resolved the God Organization, the leaders of various countries gave you the title of God, the situation changed. All those who were enemies, even those with life-threatening hatred towards you, wanted to turn hostility into friendship. Besides taking action against the God Organization, removing a major menace for many people, your immense value attracted many forces who wanted your help, then utilize your value to continue radiating brilliance. Just the Divine Acupoint Method alone could create batches of Iron-blooded Warriors, not to mention other means including hacking techniques."

Chu Erzhu revealed the voice from his heart, which was also why he wanted to have a private chat with Ye Fan.

"If you have any requests, I will do my utmost to satisfy them on behalf of the organization. We only have one request, hoping to get your help." Chu Erzhu said with utmost sincerity.

"The past is gone, I don’t want to bring it up again, nor do I want to have the identity of the past. I just want to have a quiet and peaceful life now." Ye Fan expressed sincerely, this was his heartfelt voice, and he didn’t hide it from Chu Erzhu.

"Though the tree desires calm, the wind will not cease, when in the world, one cannot control themselves, many things will come to you even if you don’t want to intervene." Chu Erzhu said.

"If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If people offend me, I will definitely kill them." Ye Fan confidently declared his principles of action.

Chu Erzhu felt a shock in his heart, at this moment, his thoughts were a bit distracted; he could hear the strong self-confidence and murderous spirit in Ye Fan’s words.

Confidence comes from the certainty of one’s abilities.

The murderous spirit is the iron-blooded means against those who offend.

"This is the Terminator, a world myth and legend, more than just an ordinary person." Chu Erzhu felt a solemn respect.

Chu Erzhu knew that if he were to recruit further, it would definitely not be effective, so he said no more.
