Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1251 - 1226: Promise Me Two Things
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
A wicked grin spread across Snake Spirit's face as she produced the Hundred Treasures Pouch, commencing a chant.
Big Child, realizing the deception, attempted to intervene, but it was too late, filling him with panic.
Ye Chen understood that Snake Spirit's most formidable artifact was indeed the Hundred Treasures Pouch, akin to Doraemon's magical pocket.
Should she unleash its contents, even Ye Chen couldn't guarantee victory.
He had to act swiftly to prevent this outcome.
With a blur of motion, Ye Chen appeared before Snake Spirit, plucking the Hundred Treasures Pouch from her grasp.
Snake Spirit was taken aback, Ye Chen's speed astonishing her; she hadn't even perceived his movement before he stood before her.
Nevertheless, Snake Spirit remained composed, for this artifact was not her sole source of power.
Scorpion Spirit, observing the exchange, grew visibly flustered.
He hadn't anticipated Ye Chen's agility, enabling him to seize the Hundred Treasures Pouch from Snake Spirit so readily.
"Madam, your Hundred Treasures Pouch is lost; what is your plan now?" Scorpion Spirit inquired with urgency.
"You are utterly useless, only capable of being shocked," Snake Spirit retorted dismissively.
As she spoke, Snake Spirit withdrew Ruyi and prepared another incantation, only for Ye Chen to snatch it away once more.
Snake Spirit's expression soured, recognizing that the two artifacts Ye Chen had taken were her most cherished and potent possessions.
In truth, these were not all of Snake Spirit's treasures; she possessed three more.
The recent turn of events left Grandpa, Big Child, and Second Child in a state of considerable anxiety for Ye Chen's safety.
Ye Chen knew that securing these two magical treasures would ensure his safety.
The remaining Yin Yang Sword, capable of manifesting as both a flexible and rigid blade, the Hairpin that could transform into eighteen distinct weapons, and the pair of golden earrings that generated endless coins were of little consequence to Ye Chen.
As anticipated, Snake Spirit produced the Yin Yang Sword, vowing to tear the young man before her asunder.
She was determined to quell this insult today, as no one had ever dared to pilfer her magical treasures; Ye Chen was the first, and she believed, the last.
Upon viewing the weapon in Snake Spirit's hand, Grandpa quickly offered a warning: "Be cautious, child."
Ye Chen remained imperturbably calm, retrieving the Heaven-piercing Sword, a reward from the system he had previously acquired, from his Spatial Bag.
Snake Spirit, observing Ye Chen's apparent lack of reaction, initially assumed he was paralyzed by fear.
As she confidently advanced toward him, she suddenly noticed he too wielded a weapon, its appearance resembling her own sword, though it seemed merely an ordinary blade.
However, Snake Spirit was mistaken; Ye Chen's sword was no common weapon but the Heaven-piercing Sword, obtained through Worldwide Delivery.
This blade could slice through iron as easily as soft mud, rendering Snake Spirit's Yin Yang Sword utterly insignificant.
Indeed, upon their clash, the Yin Yang Sword shattered into countless fragments, leaving Snake Spirit utterly bewildered.
"How can this be? How is this possible?" she stammered repeatedly.
Ye Chen wished to conclude the encounter swiftly, aiming to depart with Grandpa and the two Huluwa without further delay.
"Snake Spirit, I urge you to surrender," Ye Chen suggested calmly.
He genuinely harbored no desire to end Snake Spirit's life, particularly since Ye Chen found taking a life to be distasteful.
Yet, Snake Spirit, ever proud, would not yield easily.
"Youngster, you possess considerable audacity; take this!" Snake Spirit exclaimed, removing the hairpin from her head.
This hairpin held the capability to transform into eighteen different weapons.
Witnessing this display, Grandpa, Big Child, and Second Child grew apprehensive, believing Ye Chen could not withstand Snake Spirit's impending assault.
"Stubborn fool," Ye Chen declared loudly, positioning the Heaven-piercing Sword before him.
The Heaven-piercing Sword radiated a golden luminescence, enveloping Ye Chen in a powerful, protective aura.
Within this shield, Ye Chen remained completely secure; the multitude of weapons posed no threat whatsoever.
Grandpa and the two Huluwa, observing the barrage of weapons hurtling towards Ye Chen, closed their eyes in shared distress.
They felt certain Ye Chen faced insurmountable peril this time.
The mere thought of Ye Chen succumbing to those weapons filled them with profound sorrow.
Snake Spirit, too, proclaimed with arrogance, "Youngster, this is your rightful fate for daring to provoke me."
However, what transpired next astonished every fairy present.
Not only did the onslaught of weapons fail to harm Ye Chen, but they inexplicably veered towards Snake Spirit, Scorpion Spirit, and the Little Demons as if guided by an unseen hand.
The cave resonated once more with chilling screams, and soon, the ground was painted with the crimson flow of fairy blood, forming a veritable river.
Fortuitously, Snake Spirit and Scorpion Spirit managed to evade the attack in the nick of time, narrowly escaping being impaled themselves.
At this moment, Grandpa, Big Brother, and Second Brother opened their eyes, witnessing Ye Chen standing unharmed amidst scattered fairies.
Their faces, moments before etched with worry, now radiated relief.
Big Brother’s belief in Ye Chen solidified; he had previously dismissed him as boastful with little substance.
However, the recent confrontation with Snake Spirit had revealed Ye Chen's capabilities far surpassed his own.
Genuine admiration bloomed within him for Ye Chen.
Snake Spirit, ashen-faced, stood beside Scorpion Spirit, who had collapsed to the ground in sheer terror.
"Madam, mad... I'm utterly terrified," Scorpion Spirit stammered, his voice trembling.
Cold sweat drenched him entirely.
Snake Spirit could scarcely believe her eyes, gazing at Ye Chen. She had never fathomed his immense power, realizing too late that she had gravely underestimated him.
Ye Chen directed his gaze at Snake Spirit. "Do you still wish to fight? If so, I advise you to bring forth all your magical treasures."
Snake Spirit's nose twitched in indignant fury upon hearing this. All her treasured artifacts were either in Ye Chen's possession or lost; what remained for her to wield?
Snake Spirit, pragmatic and astute, understood the futility of continuing. She could not possibly prevail against Ye Chen.
To persist would undoubtedly lead to her and Scorpion Spirit's demise. After all, as long as life persisted, hope lingered, and survival was paramount.
"I will fight no more. I concede defeat. I beg you to spare myself and Scorpion Spirit," Snake Spirit pleaded fervently.
Observing Snake Spirit's genuine surrender, devoid of any treachery, Ye Chen inclined his head. "I will spare you, but you must adhere to two conditions."
"Name them, name them!" Snake Spirit responded with haste.
In that instant, she felt that even a hundred conditions would be acceptable, provided it ensured her continued existence.
Since Ye Chen had offered a lifeline, she was determined to grasp it.
