Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1213 1188: Delivering Takeout to a Child

Just then, a system notification resonated within his consciousness.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for securing a new Worldwide Delivery order. Do you accept?"

Ye Chen mused, naturally accepting. He was actively seeking a pretext to depart, unwilling to squander precious moments enduring insincere praise.

The majority of these ostentatious individuals lacked genuine substance, and Ye Chen found himself disinclined to engage with them.

"Accept," Ye Chen affirmed internally.

He then addressed Principal Chen, stating, "Let's conclude this matter. I have an urgent engagement, so I must take my leave."

"Mr. Ye, travel safely," Principal Chen responded with deference.

The young man before him was an undeniable magnate, possessing capabilities far exceeding anyone else present.

Amidst astonished glances, Ye Chen departed.

While piloting his sports car, he queried the system, "Does the customer have any particular stipulations this time?"

System: "This customer is a child."

"A child?" Ye Chen echoed.

This marked the first occasion the system had divulged a customer's identity.

Based on the system's subtle clue, he could not deduce the nature of the world he was about to enter.

Dismissing the uncertainty, knowing it was a child, Ye Chen had a clear idea of what to procure.

Given the time constraint, Ye Chen proceeded to a fried chicken establishment, placed an order, and then visited a nearby convenience store to purchase some milk candy.

Although Ye Chen had no children of his own, he recalled his own childhood and understood a child's fondness for sweets.

From his current knowledge, children today also had a strong liking for fried chicken.

Therefore, these selections were undoubtedly appropriate.

Ye Chen parked his sports car discreetly in a secluded area.

A colossal wormhole materialized before him.

Ye Chen stepped through it.

The following instant, he found himself astride an e-scooter within a verdant forest.

The surroundings felt strangely familiar; could this be a realm he had previously visited?

Ye Chen pondered.

The environment was rather dim, compelling him to rely solely on the system's navigation guidance.

Ye Chen guided the e-scooter, proceeding forward with a sense of curiosity.

However, the system's navigation provided no indication of a destination, intensifying his intrigue.

The deeper he ventured, the more he perceived a luminescence, evoking a sense of recognition.

"Well, whatever unfolds, unfolds."

With that thought, Ye Chen adhered to the directions and rode onward.

At that moment, the system announced: "Host, you have arrived at the designated location. This navigation sequence is now concluded."

Ye Chen surveyed his surroundings, finding himself at the edge of the sea, on a beach where he now stood.

Before him was a boy radiating palpable anger.

The boy stood resolutely, flicking pebbles into the ocean and proclaiming, "My destiny is my own to forge; whether I am a demon or an immortal rests solely with my decree."

Ye Chen recognized the resonance of these words and looked the boy up and down – two small buns atop his head, dark circles beneath his eyes, and a distinctive red birthmark adorning his forehead.

Ye Chen indeed recalled this boy, not from reality, but from a motion picture.

The boy regarded him, a figure clad in yellow robes, and impolitely inquired, "Who are you?"

Without directly answering, Ye Chen called out, "Nezha."

Upon hearing his name, Nezha was initially taken aback, then reacted with anger, stating, "Begone! I know Li Jing and his wife dispatched you to placate me. Inform them I shall not return."

"My name is Ye Chen; I am a delivery operative, specifically tasked with delivering a package to you," Ye Chen clarified swiftly.

Nezha cast a glance at Ye Chen and his vehicle, his expression still grim.

This man's mode of transport was far more impressive than his master's supposed mount.

Yet, even so, what consequence did it hold for him?

Nezha believed he was on the precipice of demise, rendering all worldly matters insignificant.

Ye Chen understood that any dissatisfaction from Nezha regarding his service would preclude him from receiving system rewards.

He promptly presented the fried chicken and milk candy to Nezha, who did not even acknowledge their existence.

Ye Chen grasped Nezha's emotional state, recognizing this as a pivotal juncture in the narrative depicted in the film.

It was during this period that Nezha discovered the truth from Shen Gongbao, realizing he was imbued with the Demon Pill. This revelation led him to mistakenly believe his parents and master were merely hindering him under the guise of training, preventing him from endangering the residents of Chentang Pass while awaiting a destined tribulation.

Earlier, when Nezha learned from his father that he was a reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, intended to benefit the populace, he had rejoiced, no longer dwelling on the misunderstanding the inhabitants of Chentang Pass held regarding him.

Nezha was merely a child; how could he possibly withstand such a devastating revelation?

He resolved to break free and unleash all the pent-up resentment he had harbored.

"Nezha, the situation is not as you perceive it. Your parents and your master cherish you," Ye Chen asserted to Nezha.

Having accepted this delivery assignment, the justice-minded Ye Chen felt compelled to reveal the truth to Nezha, understanding that mere words would prove insufficient.

At this juncture, Nezha remained convinced that Ye Chen had been dispatched by Li Jing and his wife to persuade him.

With a few strides, Nezha approached and retrieved the Wind and Fire Wheels from the sandy shore.

These wheels, once a cherished gift from Taoyi Immortal, were now discarded, a clear testament to Nezha's profound anger.

Much like in the classic tale, the Wind and Fire Wheels swiftly morphed into a small, stout pig.

Ye Chen procured a slender branch from the ground, gently tickling the little pig's snout.

A sneeze erupted from the pig, unveiling a vision.

The vision depicted Li Jing earnestly imploring Taoyi Immortal to grant him an audience with the Celestial Venerable. Their arduous journey led them to the Void Gate, only for Changsheng Yun, the guardian, to inform them that the Celestial Venerable was in secluded cultivation.

Already disheartened, Li Jing's spirits plummeted further upon learning that Nezha's Celestial Thunder Tribulation curse was absolute and could not be broken. This news left him mentally shattered, his appearance visibly aged.

Taoyi Immortal's efforts to console him proved futile. Changsheng Yun then revealed to Li Jing that Nezha's salvation was not entirely beyond reach; it necessitated a life be exchanged for another.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing's countenance brightened with resolve. He firmly decided to forfeit his own life to save Nezha's.

Even though Ye Chen was witnessing this familiar tableau once more, he could not suppress a sigh, deeply moved by the profound sacrifices parents make for their children's well-being.

Nezha clutched the Peace Talisman, bestowed by his father, his eyes brimming with tears.

As Ye Chen had just articulated, Nezha had tragically fallen prey to Shen Gongbao's deceit, misjudging the very parents who cherished him most and the master who had painstakingly accepted him as a disciple, nearly precipitating a catastrophic outcome.

Without further hesitation, Nezha seized the Dharma Artifact from the ground, mounted the Wind and Fire Wheels, and ascended into the sky, soaring towards the Li Mansion.
