Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 553 - 513 Struggle_1

In the airport waiting hall, Lu Chuan grabbed Yang Gui’s arm.

Yang Gui was startled, he hadn’t expected Lu Chuan to be stronger than him in both speed and strength!

At this moment, he understood that the person before him was definitely not ordinary, and his own meager temptation of five million was indeed insignificant!

"You... who exactly are you?"

Yang Gui gritted his teeth and asked back, while trying to pull his arm away, but couldn’t break free no matter how hard he tried.

"That’s what I should be asking you."

Lu Chuan, feeling his strength, said, "Grade 1 Martial Prince Realm, you’re quite powerful."

Lu Chuan’s expression became serious, the person before him was exceptionally strong, and undoubtedly had a significant background.

"You... can actually see my strength, it seems you’re no pushover either!"

Yang Gui’s face turned extremely dark, he had thought that after his difficult breakthrough to the Martial King Realm, he would be unrivaled in the secular world.

But to his surprise, he had encountered a tough competitor today!

He began to wonder about the true strength and background of the person in front of him!

"Tell me, who are you? Why do you want to take back this branch?"

"Let me go, or by the time we reach the Capital City, you’re as good as dead!"

Yang Gui said through clenched teeth, his voice menacing.

"Still talking back, are you going to talk or not?"

Lu Chuan applied pressure with his five fingers, gripping Yang Gui’s arm tightly.

Yang Gui winced in pain, gritting his molars and breaking into a cold sweat on his forehead.

He had never imagined he’d take a fall here.

"I can’t tell you, if you don’t let go, I’ll call the airport security!"

Lu Chuan sneered, "Believe it or not, I can directly call the law enforcers, have you arrested and thrown into jail for a few months, and let you taste the flavor of a New York City prison, how about that?"

Hearing this, Yang Gui’s face turned ashen as he retorted, "Impossible, as if you have connections with the law enforcement of the United States? Dream on!"

Lu Chuan took out his phone and said, "I’ll just call Yuk Jiao’e right now. I believe she’ll be more than happy to take you away."

Yang Gui’s face immediately became extremely ugly, how could he not know the name Yuk Jiao’e.

When he left home in the morning, he had seen news that Yuk Jiao’e, head of the enforcement team, had wiped out a major criminal gang and had been promoted to the head of the enforcement department’s main force.

"Impossible, there’s no way you know that woman!"

Yang Gui insisted in his denial.

"Then let’s try and see, shall we? You’re not in a hurry to go back, are you?"

"The target you were initially tracking, it must have been the head of that criminal gang, right?"

Yang Gui completely fell apart, he was indeed tracking Chen Zhengqian, but that matter was absolutely secret, no one could possibly know!

He looked at Lu Chuan and said, "It seems you were the one who snatched the branch from that guy..."

He became certain; the man before him might indeed have a connection to Yuk Jiao’e.

"Are you going to talk or not? I’m giving you one last chance!"

Yang Gui hurriedly nodded, "I’ll talk, I’ll talk..."

"My master sent me here, he told me that a branch was lost from the World Origin Divine Tree and ordered me to come to the secular world to retrieve it. If I can’t bring it back, I’ll be punished."

Lu Chuan was a bit puzzled, the World Origin Divine Tree? What is that?

"What is the World Origin Divine Tree?"

"I don’t know either, those who can get close to the Divine Tree are no ordinary people, and I’m not qualified yet."

"Let go, that’s all I know."

Lu Chuan loosened his arm.

After getting his arm back, he quickly rubbed the reddening forearm.

"You just wait, I’m set on taking this branch!"

After speaking, Yang Gui got up and left, heading to a corner to make a phone call.

Lu Chuan watched his retreating figure, but didn’t pay much attention to it.

However, after encountering this person, Lu Chuan became even more curious about the branch of the Divine Tree.

"The World Origin Divine Tree, just listening to these words, it seems extraordinary. It looks like I need to conduct a thorough investigation around this Divine Tree branch."

The boarding time had arrived, and Lu Chuan walked towards the boarding gate.

After boarding the plane, Lu Chuan officially started his journey back to the homeland.

As the plane took off, Lu Chuan leaned back in his seat and rested quietly.

When the long flight finally concluded, he arrived in Capital City, this familiar place.

By the time he arrived in Capital City, it was already around eight or nine at night, and the sky had turned completely dark.

Lu Chuan got off the plane and came to the airport entrance, waiting for a car while calling Nangong Duoduo.

"Duoduo, I’ve already arrived in Capital City, everything is fine."

"Why didn’t you wake me up when you left? I wanted to see you off."

Nangong Duoduo said with a hint of complaint in her voice.

"I didn’t want to disturb your sleep. After all, we were up so late last night, I was afraid you’d be too tired."

"Alright, alright, I forgive you. It’s good that you’ve arrived. Let me know in advance when you’ll come back to New York City next time."

"No problem, my car is here, I have to go now."

Lu Chuan hung up the phone and got into a taxi by the roadside.

Lu Chuan, sitting in the back seat, said, "Master, take me to the nearest hotel."

The driver simply nodded and stepped on the gas pedal.

The car moved out of the airport and kept driving farther away.

Lu Chuan looked at the bustling streets outside and couldn’t help but think to himself that it was more comfortable to be back in Cathay.

However, gradually, Lu Chuan sensed that something was off.

"Master, didn’t I ask you to go to the nearest hotel? Why are we heading towards the outskirts?"

"Sorry, all the hotels in Capital City are fully booked today. If you want to stay at a hotel, you’ll have to go to the outskirts."

"How do you know they are all fully booked? Besides, it’s none of your business whether I stay there or not—I just asked you to drive there!"

"Stop talking, we’ve arrived at the place."

The driver floored the accelerator and swung the steering wheel, rushing toward the deserted grassland beside the road.

After speeding through the grass for a while, the car came to a halt.

As soon as the car stopped, Lu Chuan grabbed the driver’s neck and yelled, "What on earth are you trying to do?"

"They’ll tell you, let go of me!"

The driver struggled.

Just then, around the taxi, a group of burly men in black suits surrounded the vehicle, blocking Lu Chuan’s way.

The car door was forcibly opened, and one man holding a club pointed it at Lu Chuan.

"Get out, and don’t make me repeat myself!"

Lu Chuan’s eyes narrowed, and with both hands, he strangled the driver to death.

"You’re seeking death!"

Lu Chuan kicked the car door flying out, and one of the men in black was knocked away along with it.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked and took a few steps back.

Lu Chuan got out of the car and surveyed the people around him.

"Dare to ambush my car, you’re looking for death!"

About a dozen men in black approached, their presence in no way diminished.

"Our boss will be here soon, and you’re not going to leave here alive today!"

Lu Chuan looked around and discovered that these people were martial artists, not ordinary folks! Who exactly were they, and were they old enemies seeking revenge?

Not far away, on a hillside, was parked a black Maybach.

Three people were sitting inside; Yang Gui was at the driver’s seat, and behind seated were a man and a woman—the man with white hair and a stooped figure, and the girl was young and beautiful, her delicate face expressionless and cold as ice.

"Old Xu, that bastard is the one who took the Divine Tree branch!" Yang Gui slammed his hands on the steering wheel, fuming with anger.
