CHAPTER 257: 257: GOOD EVENING, MY DEAR UNCLE

The Taiping Mountain Bandit Nest, after nearly four hours of a tracking battle, finally came to a close.

A gray van stumbled back, carrying six bandits and the just-captured Devil King, Li Yan!

Yet, despite this, they felt no joy. Instead, their faces were gloomy, much like eggplants battered by frost!

Sitting in the passenger seat, Chuan Er lit a cigarette, his eyes burning with rage, staring intensely at the Devil King Li Yan, who was resting with closed eyes in the rearview mirror.

If he could! He wanted to cut him into pieces right now!

Just during these past four hours, Chuan Er had called back all the bandit trainees, initiating a thorough search across the mountains, sparing no cost to capture Li Yan again.

He knew that Li Yan was the Student King! Without restraints, he would be hard to capture. If he decided to resist, three or four people wouldn’t be able to subdue him at all.

Chuan Er was ready to fight to the death! Finally, he found Li Yan’s figure in the cave where he had placed the bomb!

Chuan Er could still clearly recall that scene when he just entered the cave!

Li Yan was lazily leaning against a rock, his eyes downcast, exuding an aura of cold that was difficult to approach, yet the corner of his mouth held a smile full of witty banter, saying, "You seem to be late!"

Late, my ass!

As if they had come specifically to pick him up!

But even like this...

Chuan Er didn’t dare to make a reckless move, even less dare to easily trigger anything, as there were bombs installed here, and if they exploded, he would also die here!

His brain started to work frantically, contemplating all possible solutions, desperately needing to solve this tricky problem!

Without the Devil King, he would lose his leverage against the Pavilion Academy...

The situation by then might become even more dire!

However, at that moment, Li Yan moved!

Though he did not launch an attack, instead lazily stretched, with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, leisurely saying, "The mountain is a boring place; walking for long makes the body tired— I wonder if there’s a place where one could rest a bit!"

Chuan Er frowned but was unsure of Li Yan’s intention!

He gritted his teeth and said viciously, "There’re lots of places in the village! If the Devil King doesn’t mind, I, Chuan Er, would surely ’entertain’ you well! I guarantee it would be more ’comfortable’ than the place you stayed at before!"

His words were insincere, more rhetorical!

Clearly, he didn’t believe the Devil King would agree to his proposal, after painstakingly leaving the bandit nest— unless he was crazy!

But Chuan Er didn’t expect that the Devil King was indeed crazy...

The flashback faded, and Chuan Er had finished his cigarette. Until now, he couldn’t understand why the Devil King followed them back without any resistance!

Even when tied up by his subordinates, he showed no reaction. After getting into the car, he seemed as if he just wanted to rest peacefully, closing his eyes, not at all worried he might launch an attack...

Chuan Er’s eyes widened! He could hardly believe what had happened...

The Devil King is the Student King!

A figure feared by numerous Dark Forces, and in executing multiple tasks, he would make the enemy flee in panic...

Being a man from the underworld, Chuan Er clearly understood the terrifying nature of the Devil King. If misled by superficial appearances and if he considered him an ordinary person, that would truly be a blind mistake!
