Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2451 - 2515: Neither Willing to Die Nor to Fight

Simply put, what Li Yifei and the Saintess have done during this time has infuriated the people of the Noah’s Ark Organization to no end, wishing they could cut them to pieces. However, after several attempts to ambush them, they’ve come to realize one thing clearly, which is... If they want to continue the pursuit, either the Captain himself must take action, or they must enlist more elite fighters, and I mean top-tier elite fighters, such as the Twelve Holy Beasts, the Four Sacred Beasts, or other top-tier fighters.But that poses the risk of losing more people. Whether or not they can bear this potential loss, if they can’t bear it... that’s why Park Sung-ho has appeared. He came with a mission and knows that today’s Li Yifei is not the same person he was before.

No, the appearance is the same, the physique is the same, even the hairstyle hasn’t changed, and the voice is still the same, but to Park Sung-ho, this man is both unfamiliar and evokes a boundless fear in his heart.

Sitting across from Li Yifei, Park Sung-ho felt like he was being crushed by a mountain. He awkwardly smiled, picked up his teacup, and took a big gulp, only to be scalded by the hot tea. His mouth contorted from the pain, but he didn’t dare spit it out, resulting in burns to his mouth and esophagus.

Opposite him, Li Yifei’s expression was calm, without a hint of pressure, of course, he didn’t need to feel any pressure. Li Yifei felt a bit emotional inside; it seemed like not much time had passed, but when they met again, it was as if a thousand mountains and rivers had come between them. Li Yifei had become a top-tier master unmatched in the world, while Park Sung-ho remained stagnant.

Li Yifei had already figured out this guy’s origin. He was also one of those drug-induced experts and had taken drugs that temporarily boosted his abilities, resulting in his limited lifetime skills, with no room for improvement and potentially severe degradation as he aged, or even sudden death.

Pursuing short-term gains with the power of drugs is not the right path, and it’s frowned upon.

Thinking of this, Li Yifei became more certain his choices were correct.

Once Park Sung-ho recovered a bit, Li Yifei asked, "Do you regret it now?"

"Ah?" Park Sung-ho was stunned, his mind racing to understand the meaning behind his words. Regret what? Regret what exactly? Is it regret about fighting you back then? Or what...

"You will have no progress for the rest of your life," Li Yifei said.

"Well... Mr. Li, people have their own choices, some are helpless, some are self-decisions, nothing much to regret, as it’s useless to regret." Park Sung-ho said.

Li Yifei nodded slightly, and Park Sung-ho continued, "If I had to talk about regret, there is one thing."

"Oh?"

"Fighting with you, looking back on that, it’s the thing I regret most."

"Is that so? I think there’s nothing to regret," Li Yifei said indifferently.

Park Sung-ho shook his head vigorously, sighed, "If it wasn’t for... some things that led to our falling out, we might still be friends today, maybe not close friends, but at least friends."

"You’re wrong. Even now, we could be friends, but the premise is that your identity is not of Noah’s Ark member!" Li Yifei proactively brought this topic up, Park Sung-ho’s tone stalled, his expression slightly changed, saying, "Does this identity... really matter that much?"

"I also want to ask you, does this identity matter that much? Haha, only people like you would join an organization despised by the world, and you’re so loyal!" Li Yifei said.

Park Sung-ho knew today’s mission was tough. Li Yifei was still Li Yifei, but he wasn’t Li Yifei anymore, and he had to adapt to the changes in identity, etc. Facing Li Yifei’s words, Park Sung-ho said, "In the jianghu, one’s fate is not in his own hands, Mr. Li, please forgive me, honestly, I came today to have a meal with you, but I did have something to say..."

Li Yifei gestured for him to stop, saying, "Before speaking, think about the consequences. If there’s a chance I don’t like what you say, or it makes me murderous, you could be in danger today. I have to tell you this first, so you won’t say I’m unscrupulous."

Park Sung-ho paused, his facial muscles stiff, the other party had already issued a death threat before he said anything.

"I... actually... Mr. Li, I actually came..." Park Sung-ho was a bit tongue-tied, struggling to continue.

Li Yifei shook his head, suddenly feeling a lack of interest. When he received Park Sung-ho’s call, he did intend to come and see how this former adversary was doing, but upon meeting, Li Yifei was inevitably disappointed, because Park Sung-ho had fallen far behind, unlikely to become his opponent again, and after brief contact, the other party was timid, hesitant, evidently possessed great fear of Li Yifei, even afraid to speak, making Li Yifei very disappointed.

The scene became stiff, Li Yifei called over the servant, ordered with the Saintess, as Park Sung-ho wiped the sweat on his forehead, finally saying, "Mr. Li, let me speak directly, I came this time... actually with a mission."

Li Yifei tapped his fork at him, signaling, "Continue."

"The Captain... no, this is not the Captain’s intention, I represent Mr. Qinglong, he wants to..."

"Is Green Dragon one of the Four Sacred Beasts or the Twelve Holy Beasts?"

"The latter, Mr. Qinglong is first among the Twelve Holy Beasts."

"Then who are the Four Sacred Beasts, Xuanwu, Phoenix, and who?"

"White Tiger and Black Dragon."

Li Yifei understood, nodded slightly, saying, "Continue."

"Mr. Qinglong feels there might be some misunderstanding between us, so... is there a chance to meet up, to clarify the misunderstanding?"

Li Yifei laughed, the Saintess beside him was also slightly surprised, although they had guessed part of it before coming, they didn’t expect the arrogant Noah’s Ark Organization to directly give in.

This laugh made Park Sung-ho feel a bit embarrassed, but he insisted, "Mr. Qinglong actually handles some matters in the organization, so he has influence, and quite a lot, so Mr. Li, if you agree, I can arrange for you to meet, and perhaps clear up the misunderstanding."

"Park Sung-ho!" Li Yifei didn’t respond, but called his name.

Park Sung-ho responded, looking at Li Yifei.

"Are you saying the Noah’s Ark Organization gave in, realizing they can’t provoke me?" Li Yifei asked concisely.

Muscles twitched on Park Sung-ho’s face, Li Yifei’s words were like a slap, or rather, continuous slaps, Park Sung-ho forced a smile, nodding, "Although... it can be said like that, but not absolutely, because Mr. Qinglong thinks both sides will only deepen misunderstandings at this rate... Furthermore, the loss of life is too great, it’s not good either."

"Loss of life? Oh, speaking of loss of life I just remembered, your organization sent people to assassinate my family, killed so many of my guards, I wonder how your organization plans to settle this account!"

In that battle, we lost more people, and they were all top experts, Park Sung-ho was clear on this matter, he couldn’t help but shout internally, but on the surface, he didn’t dare speak up, more awkwardly saying, "This... can be compensated, I assure you, it will definitely satisfy you!"

"Oh?" Li Yifei stopped chewing, raised an eyebrow, "I killed so many of you, four Sacred Beasts, one Divine Beast, and you plan to just admit defeat like this, just surrender outright?"

You shouldn’t humiliate others or uncover their weaknesses when scolding, Park Sung-ho only felt blockaded in the chest, a feeling of wanting to vomit blood, he forcibly held back, awkwardly saying, "This matter... Mr. Qinglong has his own explanation, I’m not fit to explain, because I don’t understand much, but Mr. Qinglong mentioned, if the misunderstanding continues, both sides will suffer more casualties."

"You’re wrong, aside from a few of my guards, we’ve sustained no casualties, so far, all the deaths and injuries have been Noah’s Ark’s, and as far as I know, your organization doesn’t have many top experts, losing one today, one tomorrow, and another the day after, eventually you’ll be left with none, so you understand my point, right?"

"I... understand!" Park Sung-ho sensed the strong aura from Li Yifei, so pressuring that he couldn’t speak a word without worry, whereas when the other said something, he couldn’t respond.

After a few seconds, Li Yifei said, "You don’t understand, haha, I fear nothing, I’m not afraid of you, not afraid of Green Dragon, not afraid of whatever so-called Captain, that’s right, even him, I’m not afraid, if unconvinced, have him come fight me in person!"

Park Sung-ho felt something stuck in his throat, not daring to speak more, but his back was already drenched in cold sweat, then Li Yifei continued, "So you don’t understand, because I fear nothing, so I don’t care about your recent words, there isn’t a misunderstanding between us, do you know what it is?"

Park Sung-ho shook his head, Li Yifei tapped his finger on the table and said, "It’s hatred, deep hatred, and about choosing justice, frankly, with what Noah’s Ark as an organization shows currently, your organization is a living cult, an evil organization, unacceptable to mankind. Of course, there are many cults worldwide, more than I can count, so I wouldn’t usually have time to manage such affairs, but unfortunately, your organization didn’t know the height of heaven and earth, came seeking trouble with me actively!"

"And those who have provoked me, over the years, beside you, others probably have grass three feet high on their graves by now. Saying this, you should see it as fortunate, shouldn’t you?" At this point, Li Yifei speared a piece of salad, placing it in his mouth and chewing gently,

Opposite, Park Sung-ho was drenched in cold sweat, under such immense pressure, understanding Li Yifei’s meaning, that as their side sought peace, the other... had no intention of peace at all.
