Chapter 722 Angry Chu Tian and confused Ye Fan - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

"Kid, you're courting death!" Yagyu Ichiro noticed Chu Tian's expression and his gaze turned cold as he quietly circulated his spiritual energy. Chu Tian appeared relaxed but was also secretly preparing for any eventuality. The two exchanged glances, then began to fight. The result was unsurprising—Yagyu Ichiro was injured and fled in disarray. Chu Tian released Wang Haoran and Jiang Yuner from their acupoint locks from afar and then chased after Yagyu Ichiro. However, as a Fuso ninja, Yagyu Ichiro had many ways to escape. Chu Tian lost him and had to return to the others. Wang Haoran and Jiang Yuner were still waiting where they had been. "Aunt, I was right, wasn't I? I told you to be more careful," Chu Tian said to Wang Haoran with a smile. Wang Haoran forced a somewhat embarrassed smile but said nothing. "Thank you for saving us," Jiang Yuner said timidly to Chu Tian. "Helping those in need is the right thing to do," Chu Tian replied with a broader smile when he looked at Jiang Yuner. "Your name is Yuner, right?" "Yes, I'm Jiang Yuner." Although she didn't want to engage with Chu Tian, she remembered Wang Haoran's instructions and tried to maintain a gentle tone. Seeing Jiang Yuner speaking so softly, Chu Tian felt as if he'd encountered love. He promptly offered to escort Jiang Yuner and her "aunt" back. At the hotel, Chu Tian said, "I've heard some news; things around here aren't very peaceful recently." "That person won't come back for us, right?" Jiang Yuner asked worriedly. "There's a good chance," Chu Tian replied seriously. Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuner appeared very alarmed. "Don't worry. If you want, I can temporarily act as your bodyguard to ensure your safety," Chu Tian suggested. Jiang Yuner hesitated, "But—" "If you find it difficult, then forget it. You're on your own," Chu Tian warned. "Then I must trouble you to protect me," Jiang Yuner said, taking advantage of the situation. "No trouble at all!" Chu Tian replied happily. "I'll arrange a room for you in this hotel. When Yuner goes out, please protect her. As for the fee, you can name your price," Wang Haoran said. "I'm not particular about it. You can decide," Chu Tian said indifferently. He didn't care about money; he cared about getting close to Jiang Yuner. Wang Haoran watched Chu Tian staring intently at Jiang Yuner and let out a cold chuckle to himself. After making arrangements for Chu Tian, Wang Haoran and Jiang Yuner returned to their room. "Stay here, don't go out. I'll be back soon," Wang Haoran instructed before sneaking out of the hotel. In his plan, he needed to impersonate Yagyu Ichiro, which meant the real Yagyu Ichiro had to be dealt with. Earlier, when he encountered Yagyu Ichiro, Wang Haoran secretly left a soul imprint on him. Upon activating the soul imprint, Wang Haoran immediately knew Yagyu Ichiro's location. When Wang Haoran located Yagyu Ichiro, Yagyu Ichiro was still unaware of the situation. Without wasting words, Wang Haoran subdued him and forcibly extracted his memories through his soul. At this point, Yagyu Ichiro was of no further use. Wang Haoran incinerated him with Jindan fire, leaving no trace behind. After completing these tasks, Wang Haoran returned to Jiang Yuner's hotel room. He was currently disguising himself as Jiang Yuner's aunt, living with her. No one found it suspicious. It was nighttime, and the long night lay ahead. Naturally, Wang Haoran wanted to discuss life and dreams with Jiang Yuner. [Ding, the host has successfully latched onto the female lead, Jiang Yuner, earning 12,000 villain points, reducing Jiang Yuner’s female lead halo by 600, Chu Tian's protagonist halo by 600, while increasing the host’s villain halo by 1,200!] [Ding, the female lead Jiang Yuner’s affection toward the host has increased by 10, the current total affection: 90 (unswerving loyalty)] Meanwhile, Chu Tian remained in his room, fantasizing about a romantic relationship with Jiang Yuner. The next day. Jiang Yuner went to the base for training, with Chu Tian accompanying her diligently. Occasionally, Jiang Yuner gave him shy smiles or handed him a bottle of water, which made Chu Tian ecstatic, believing Jiang Yuner had feelings for him. After two or three days, Chu Tian could no longer hold back. He was secretly planning to confess his feelings to Jiang Yuner. Wang Haoran, however, was not idle. During this time, he subtly gathered information from Ye Wuhen and uncovered Ye Fan's residence and his general activities during specific times. That night, unable to suppress his love any longer, Chu Tian went to Jiang Yuner's room. After hesitating at the door for a moment, he reached out to knock but noticed the door was ajar. Through the crack, faint cries for help from Jiang Yuner could be heard. Realizing something was wrong, Chu Tian quickly pushed the door open and rushed into the bedroom. Inside, the covers moved up and down continuously, and Jiang Yuner's cries came from within. Chu Tian was thunderstruck. As he stepped forward, the person under the covers became startled. A plain-looking man turned his head and, surprised for a moment, quickly emerged from the bed, grabbed the clothes on the floor, and dashed toward the window. Jiang Yuner, her face streaked with tears, appeared to have suffered immeasurable torment, showing only her head. Understanding what had happened, Chu Tian flew into a rage, completely overtaken by his anger, and mobilized his spiritual energy to pursue the man escaping through the window. In a secluded mansion. Wu Xingtian, in meditation inside his room, suddenly sensed a very faint yet familiar aura. His wrinkled eyelids slowly opened. His form instantly left the room, arriving at the origin of the subtle aura. However, the person was already gone. Wu Xingtian recognized the aura as being from Yagyu Ichiro of Fuso. He could surmise that Yagyu Ichiro intended to infiltrate the premises and gather information but fled when he sensed danger. Wu Xingtian could vaguely sense the direction in which this aura escaped. The use of the shape-altering secret techniques by Yagyu Ichiro and Chihiro reminded him of a grave threat—they could easily infiltrate the Imperial City. Sensing Yagyu Ichiro’s aura, Wu Xingtian unhesitatingly pursued him to eliminate the menace. Meanwhile, moments after Wu Xingtian left, Chu Tian arrived outside the mansion, engulfed in a murderous rage. Chu Tian had followed the aura of the plain-looking man, but upon reaching this place, it suddenly vanished. Inside the mansion, Ye Fan, disturbed by the murderous aura while meditating, was apprehensive. Ye Fan had assumed it was intruders causing trouble and quickly sought the source of the aura. Ye Fan saw the man’s angry face. The man's appearance was clearly that of an Ethereal Nation person, not aligned with any known outsiders on the Heaven List. But why this murderous aura? Just as Ye Fan intended to question, Chu Tian summoned the Hongmeng Sword and slashed at him. Though Ye Fan was prepared, he was uncalled by the Hongmeng Sword's power, causing his internal energy and blood to surge turbulently. "Innate Treasure?!" Ye Fan instantly recognized the level of Chu Tian's weapon and was shocked. However, his pressing concern was understanding why this man attacked him without reason. Ye Fan didn't know the reason, but Chu Tian did. Both Ye Fan's appearance and aura matched those of the one who had wronged Jiang Yuner. How could Chu Tian waste words on Ye Fan? Overcome with fury, Chu Tian had but one thought: to kill the beast before him! "I have never met you" Ye Fan attempted to question, seeking clarity. "Beast, die!" The Hongmeng Sword flared with divine light, slashing toward Ye Fan once more. (Chapter End)
