Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1247 - 1222: Settling the Score with the Fairies

Feasting on the provisions, the Huluwa seemed quite content, prompting Ye Chen to remark, "If my service pleased you, a Five-Star Review would be most appreciated."

Red Child, nodding readily, offered the positive review as Ye Chen suggested.

Excellent, with the system's task accomplished, the subsequent objective is to assist the children in rescuing their Grandpa and, consequently, enhance their favorability towards me.

"Very well, all of you remain here obediently. I shall depart to aid in your Grandpa's rescue," Ye Chen declared before walking towards the motorcycle.

A look of astonishment crossed Red Child's face upon seeing the imposing two-wheeled vehicle; it was his first encounter with such a machine, igniting his curiosity.

As Ye Chen prepared to leave, Red Child urgently cautioned, "Little brother, the outside world is fraught with peril. Those two spirits are exceedingly cunning; you must exercise extreme caution."

A casual wave from Ye Chen followed, "Understood, no need to worry."

Red Child was about to add more, but Ye Chen cut him off, finding the child somewhat garrulous.

In truth, Red Child intended to reveal the location of the spirits' hideout. However, Ye Chen, seemingly uninterested, had already departed astride the colossal machine.

After riding for some distance, Ye Chen suddenly had a realization: he had forgotten a crucial detail – he had no idea where the spirits' lair was.

Recalling how he had preempted Red Child's continued speech earlier, the prospect of returning for information felt rather embarrassing.

Suddenly, his thoughts turned to the system, an entity known for its formidable power and comprehensive knowledge.

"System, I require directions to the lair of the Snake Spirit and Scorpion Spirit. Please provide navigation," Ye Chen commanded.

"Apologies, host, the navigation system is undergoing an upgrade and is temporarily unavailable," the system responded.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt as though the system was deliberately toying with him, choosing this precise moment for maintenance.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen found himself in a predicament regarding the system; offending it was not an option.

With no alternative recourse through the system for the exact location, Ye Chen resigned himself to swallowing his pride and returning to seek Red Child's assistance.

Observing Ye Chen's return, the other Hulus hanging on the vine inquired, "Brother, do you truly believe that person is reliable? Can he actually help us rescue Grandpa?"

Red Child found himself at a loss for an answer. He harbored doubts about Ye Chen's trustworthiness, particularly given his failure to even inquire about the spirits' location. How, then, could he possibly rescue Grandpa?

Lost in his concerns, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure approaching atop the massive conveyance.

The individual was none other than Ye Chen, the giver of the delectable food, adorned in the Yellow Robe.

Ye Chen approached Red Child, a sheepish grin on his face as he scratched his head, admitting, "Forgive me, I neglected to ask where the spirits' lair is situated."

Red Child's brow furrowed, and he replied, "Actually, I was about to tell you just now where Grandpa was taken."

He gestured towards a towering peak in the distance, stating, "Grandpa was taken there."

"Understood," Ye Chen acknowledged, turning his motorcycle and speeding away once more.

As Red Child turned to speak further to Ye Chen, he realized the latter had already vanished from sight.

The subsequent journey proved arduous for Ye Chen. The mountain was a considerable distance away, and while the motorcycle possessed speed, the treacherous mountain terrain offered little advantage compared to flat ground.

Ye Chen even entertained the thought of abandoning the mission, questioning why he was involving himself in others' affairs. Simply delivering the food should have sufficed.

Why endure such hardship? Ye Chen felt as though every bone in his body was on the verge of rattling loose.

However, having pledged to Red Child that he would help rescue Grandpa, he was bound by his promise—a fundamental tenet of being human.

Pressing onward, with brief rests interspersed along the way, Ye Chen finally reached the mountain Red Child had indicated, discovering the hideout of the Snake Spirit and Scorpion Spirit.

Without preamble, he delivered a forceful kick to the stone door, which burst open with a resounding boom.

The spirits within, alerted by the earth-shattering noise, trembled, finding it difficult to remain upright.

Even the slumbering Snake Spirit was roused from her sleep by the commotion.

She summoned her subordinates, demanding, "What is occurring? Why is our lair experiencing such tremors?"

"Your Majesty, we are as clueless as you are," a subordinate responded with evident fear.

"Useless! What good are you then?" the Snake Spirit retorted, her voice laced with anger.

At that precise moment, the Scorpion Spirit came rushing over.

The Snake Spirit, her patience wearing thin, gazed at him and inquired, "What has caused such a frantic state?"

"Madam, I have just ascertained that an individual clad in a Yellow Robe has appeared outside, accompanied by a colossal contraption. He is the source of the lair's shaking," the Scorpion Spirit stammered nervously.

"Very well, remain here. I shall investigate who dares to disturb my repose," the Snake Spirit declared, her body coiling as she moved towards the lair's entrance.

Upon reaching the entrance, she beheld Ye Chen standing there.

It must be said, Ye Chen's handsome visage possessed a certain charm that even captivated the Snake Spirit for a moment.

Upon observing the shattered stones littering the ground, the Snake Spirit directed her gaze towards Ye Chen, inquiring, "Did you shatter the stone door?"

"Indeed, I did," Ye Chen confirmed.

"Pray tell, who are you? We bear no enmity, so why would you destroy my stone door?" the Snake Spirit pressed further.

"My identity is of no concern to you. Hand over Grandpa swiftly, and I shall spare your life," Ye Chen stated with a composed demeanor.

Hearing this, the Snake Spirit surmised that this man was connected to the Huluwa. Perceiving Ye Chen clad in yellow, she conjectured he might be the Third Child or the Yellow Child, possessing the Golden Indestructible Body, making him immune to blades.

"Why such vexation? I was merely extending a cordial invitation to the elder," the Snake Spirit responded with a smile.

Ye Chen, however, placed no credence in her words; her expression betrayed her deception.

"You serpentine being, still attempting to mislead me. Are you not aware of my identity?" Ye Chen challenged with an air of authority.

He had no desire to prolong this encounter with the enchantress.

"Truly, I have not deceived you. Have faith in my word, and I shall demonstrate. You must have been mistaken about me," the Snake Spirit pleaded, feigning distress.

One had to concede that the Snake Spirit's acting prowess was remarkably convincing.

Ye Chen, keen to ascertain the situation within, declared as he advanced, "Should you dare to deceive me further, I shall dismember you."

"Youngster, why the fiery temper?" the Snake Spirit inquired with a smile.

Instead of immediately escorting Ye Chen to Grandpa, she guided him towards an area where refreshments were offered.

"Youngster, I perceive your considerable temper. Might I suggest you compose yourself first? I shall arrange for the elder to be brought forth," the Snake Spirit suggested, observing Ye Chen.

Concurrently, she gestured to a subordinate, "Hurry, fetch the premium wine! I wish to entertain our guest."

Ye Chen comprehended her stratagem: to drug him and seize him alongside Grandpa.

He was resolved not to allow the Snake Spirit to succeed. Nevertheless, Ye Chen opted not to expose her immediately, choosing instead to observe the progression of her act.

Without refusal, Ye Chen took a seat upon a stone stool, awaiting the arrival of the wine.
