Chapter 368: The Most Badass Battle on the Sea
“Ning Ning…” Cheng Anya and Third Young Master Ye heard the voice and called out the young kid’s name loudly. Cheng Anya was especially touched and teared. This was her darling son’s voice, and her long nights of worrying about him ended when she knew that he was fine. Cheng Anya was extremely excited.
As the tender voice rang across the sky, the term ‘heavenly sound’ came to Cheng Anya. This was definitely a heavenly voice.
“Ning Ning…” Cheng Anya broke into tears of elation and wished she could immediately see her darling son’s smiling face.
Third Young Master Ye tapped Cheng Anya’s head and quietly consoled her. Now that his family of three was finally fine, he was also extremely moved yet was calm enough to face this hair-raising moment.
The once-silent night sky buzzed to life as over ten lights lie up. The helicopters which were invisible hovered in the sky and the two of them clearly saw tens of planes hovering above them.
‘Ning Ning is here…’
The young kid, in a black windbreaker, seemed extremely stunning. The darkness of the night covered his face and decked him in hints of a harsher coldness. His order revealed a presence he had never shown.
“Mommy, Daddy, it’s been a while since we met.” The young kid’s elegant voice reached Cheng Anya and Third Young Master Ye’s ears. They felt as though they were separated from the world.
Cheng Anya tightly held Third Young Master Ye’s hands. The tears which she had just held back freely flowed as she longingly looked at where the voice came from. She was frantically looking for her darling child’s face.
As the lights were too bright, she was simply unable to see it.
“Mommy, you will be able to hug your darling child in a moment.” The young kid elegantly smiled, his tender voice always so gentle and obedient in front of his mommy. “Mommy, you have lost quite some weight. And so did Daddy.”
Through the IR lights, he was able to clearly see his parents and even Cheng Anya’s tearing eyes. With his parents looking hideous, the young kid’s gaze sank and murderous intent enveloped him.
When he detected the moment the plane exploded, the young kid was angry, almost thinking that his daddy and mommy had lost their lives. He almost lost the ability to soundly make decisions and nearly lost all sanity.
They were, thankfully, still alive.
If something had happened, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He could not lose his daddy and mommy after he lost Nuo Nuo.
If not, he would be left with nothing and live in this world alone.
Ning Ning’s eyes welled up. He thought that he would not be able to shed a single tear for anybody else after losing Xu Nuo. When he saw his parents still holding their hands tightly, his heart was touched and almost teared.
‘Mommy, Daddy, I’m sorry for almost forgetting you.’
As he looked up from the ocean and toward Louis’ plane with a telescope, he could see Louis looking at him with a telescope too. Ye Ningyuan calmly put down his telescope.
He broke into an elegant smile and suddenly flipped the bird in Louis’ direction.
Bai Ye blinked in disbelief. While the gesture was indeed crude, impolite, and degrading, it was the perfect demonstration of dominance when men duked it out with each other.
It was especially in this scenario where a violent clash ensued. Ning Ning’s expression and gesture were nothing short of…
An extreme visual contrast.
Where the hell did this kid learn this gesture from?
He could not help but admire Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya’s family education. This child was nothing short of badass, and all his elegance and mannerisms were nothing short of illusionary. The child demonstrated his dominance and overbearingness.
Although the young kid’s smile did not diminish, it was, however, extremely cold.
‘Louis, you will pay back what you owe me a hundred thousand times over.’
His murderous intent became even stronger, and the anger in his pitch-black eyes leaped as he pointed at Louis’ aircraft and solemnly ordered, “Launch the missiles.”
When Louis saw the young kid appear, he secretly knew that things would turn out bad. Ever since he received information from William, he traveled from Sicily. He was extremely aware that the plane had exploded over the ocean and assumed for a moment that Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya were blown up.
At that moment, he flew into a rage and almost wanted to berate Prince William over the telephone. But after calming down, he quickly realized that Third Young Master Ye’s ability to even escape and survive in a desert would mean that he would be able to escape death and survive under even more austere conditions. He was lucky that his guess was spot-on.
He managed to locate Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya through the latest searching equipment.
He was ecstatic.
However, he was reckless and blinded by greed. He discovered Third Young Master Ye only to learn that men from the First Terrorist Organization were in close pursuit. He saw through his binoculars how the tender child flipped the bird at him in the most domineering manner.
As he was the one who definitely had his way with people instead of the other way around, Louis was extraordinarily angry, let alone being humiliated by a kid in this way.
He could not help but move his fury toward Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya onto the young kid. Therefore, when the young kid ordered the missiles to be launched, Louis’ forces also launched their missiles at him.
As they launched their missiles at each other at almost the same time, the experienced pilots from both factions deftly avoided the missiles. The missiles missed their targets, fell into the ocean, and created two plumes of water. The alluring explosions, although far away, shook the waters to the point Cheng Anya could feel the water surge.
“Don’t worry,” Third Young Master Ye consoled Cheng Anya and calmly replied. “All will be fine.”
As the commanders began their attacks, men from both camps began firing. Almost thirty planes began their close-quarters bombardment with their autocannons and heavy machine guns. Since they were too close to each other, they were unable to take advantage of ranged attacks.
Tens of planes, with Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya as the center, began fighting. When a bomb flew toward Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya, Ning Ning was extremely shocked. Black Eagle, however, quickly assessed the angle and used the impact from another bomb to detonate said bomb midair.
The young kid heaved a sigh of relief.
With Black Eagle wholly responsible for their safety, he communicated to the young kid through radio. “Young master, please relax. We will protect third young master and madam.”
“Got it. Be careful.” Ning Ning turned his head again and asked Bai Ye, “Given this situation we’re in, what’s the quickest way to victory?”
“In terms of the fighters’ capability, we are comparable. The bombs, however, aren’t the most accurate, so Black Eagle will not be able to wholly ensure Third Young Master Ye and Miss Cheng’s safety. I will not recommend you adopt a strategy that causes you to perish with your opponent,” Bai Ye said. He could see the murderous intent and worry in Ning Ning’s eyes.
Everything else had to revolve around Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya’s safety. That was paramount.
The young kid broke into a proud smile. “I know what needs to be done.”
“Black Eagle, lower the ropes and haul Daddy up.”
“Young master, if I were in your shoes, I would…”
“If you are told to do it, just do it. I do not believe that Daddy is not capable of something as simple as that.” The young kid decisively ordered in a deep voice. While Black Eagle was slightly taken aback, he could not help but respect the young kid.
Although the child was young, he had an aura of dominance around him.
“Okay,” Black Eagle said.
“Are you sure you would like to take such a risky maneuver?” Bai Ye knew what he was doing and could not help but ask in laughter. There was that bit of admiration between men as it was extremely hard to come by a person who had figured everything down to the last detail when commanding a battle for the first time.
“I am extremely sure.” The young kid smiled elegantly. “All teams, please take note…”
As he spoke, he saw a plane from Louis’ camp dive toward the sea and attempt to abduct Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya from close range. The young kid’s lips curled into a smile. “Semi-encirclement, all guns blazing.”
As Ning Ning gave the orders, the fighters from the First Terrorist Organization immediately formed a semicircle around Third Young Master Ye and fully opened up on Louis’ fighter fleet.
The diving fighter, unable to resist the torrent of machine gun fire, had to back off.
As bullets rained down onto the surface of the sea from the sky, Cheng Anya’s heart almost leaped to her throat. Amidst the deafening roar, they were stuck in the sea and unable to escape. One wrong move from anyone would mean certain death for them.
This was her first time witnessing such intense air-to-air combat up close.
Bullets rained down on the surface of the sea whilst shells flew. The scene gave people an extremely chilling feeling. Even as flames lit the area of the sea, Cheng Anya was so shaken that she was panting roughly.
“Swoop down and hook them up at all costs.” Louis flatly ordered. He would not allow the people so close to him to escape. If they escaped again, capturing them would become even more difficult.
An agile fighter suddenly dove down. Ning Ning frowned as Black Eagle gasped. The young kid calmly said, “It’s time we test Su Man’s high-velocity magnetic wave gun.”
Bai Ye broke into a slight smile. “My thoughts exactly.”
The magnetic wave guns, which were recently developed, were Su Man’s brainchild. He came up with the design schematics and design prototype, but the higher costs of creating the weapons and huge technical difficulties in developing meant that the weapons were still in maturation. This was the first magnetic wave gun that was fully developed.
Bai Ye was the first person to test the power of the weapon. As Ning Ning had given Su Man free rein to develop this weapon against the Mafia, the weapon coincidentally had its test subject.
The high-velocity magnetic wave gun seemed slightly larger than the assault rifle and had multiple scopes and target-acquisition lenses that could be used in combination with each other. As the plane dived down, Bai Ye pulled the trigger. Two blue-green waves shot toward the plane at the speed of light and the plane instantly exploded.
The plane blew up beyond recognition with a loud boom. Debris was scattered tens of meters away.
“Good, beautiful.” Bai Ye gave a thumbs-up. “This guy is one heck of a talent. This stuff he designed is properly kickass.”
“This is certainly the most devastating weapon amongst all the light machine guns. It’s tens of times more powerful than demolition charges and certainly an extremely rare weapon in the history of light machine guns.”
“Ah Chen…” As the distance was too far, Cheng Anya could only hug Third Young Master Ye’s neck in fear. The young kid saw Cheng Anya’s fearful face from the IR, and his heart ached.
“Black Eagle, release the ropes. Now.” The young kid calmly ordered.
“On it!”
Bai Ye acknowledged and quickly released the ropes. The plane broke off from its formation and flew ahead. Bai Ye’s beautiful move shocked Louis’ men. Some of them broke into cluster F-bombs, swearing loudly.
“Master, let’s pull out.” Somebody immediately suggested as they saw how bad things were. They were really unable to slog it out any further.
Louis looked at the surface of the sea reluctantly and coldly ordered. “Waste them.” He had no qualms taking them down with him.
“On it!”
When the order was immediately conveyed, the young kid coldly smiled. “Black Eagle, hasten.”
The quick and loud voice raced across the surface of the sea.
Once Third Young Master Ye saw the rope, he immediately understood what he ought to do. At this same moment, Louis’ fighter fleet turned around and the young kid ordered a full-out attack. They instead braved the incoming bullets and shells to directly open fire at Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya.
“Come on, Daddy!” A thin layer of sweat formed on the young kid’s face as he witnessed this thrilling scene. Even though he was calmly commanding from the onset, he managed to seize the initiative and reactively respond.
Thinking of how the lives of the two most important people in his life hung were in the balance, he could not help but thread in trepidation and his breathing almost stopped.
“Come on, Daddy, come on!”
“Anya, hug me tightly!” Third Young Master Ye ordered as he immediately clung onto the rope that swung by. Cheng Anya held onto his waist for dear life, and their two bodies were lifted up from the water. As their bodies left the water, a hail of bullets rained on where they had been just now. Rocks flew.
A violent explosion kicked up a plume of seawater tens of meters high.
Black Eagle commanded the aircraft to reverse at full speed. Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya’s bodies flew like a kite in midair. Third Young Master Ye held onto the rope with one hand and hooked onto Cheng Anya’s waist with the other hand. As though he was holding onto a massive weight, it took its toll on Third Young Master Ye. The experience was too scary. Cheng Anya was in fear to the point she shrieked.
It was especially as though bullets were pursuing her.
Cheng Anya’s waist was too slippery, and she suddenly slipped. She could not help but scream. “Ahh!!”
It was a goner. She would drop into the sea again.
Suddenly, she felt a wrist tighten. Third Young Master Ye grabbed her wrist, and it created a human chain that hung and drifted in midair.
“Don’t be afraid!”
“Yes, perfect!” The young kid had a look of elation as he looked at his parents who were drifting above the sea. A joy leaped up in him and he suddenly frowned. “Bomb them. Bomb them so hard into oblivion!”
As long as he had no other considerations, all gloves were off.
