I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband Chapter 271 - Dark Horse

Chapter 271 - Dark Horse

5 years later…

Red Empire Corporation, Country C.

The infamous new G.o.d of the business world, Chen SeiJi, was sitting like a tyrant king in a dimly lit hall, glaring at the man presenting in front of him. Every single person inside the hall was tense to the point that their bones seemed to gradually turn into solid ice. Everyone was obviously scared to even make a single move. They all knew how terrifying this new tyc.o.o.n was, who brought his very own father, the former G.o.d of business, Zhao Meng, to his demise.

Chen Seiji slowly took everything Zhao Meng held dear; his fame, his money, his glory and power within just two years. He even mercilessly put him in jail after he made him suffer an agony worse than death.

The power Chen Seiji held was out of this world. It was as if he was a G.o.d who suddenly descended from the heavens and started turning the business world upside down as though everything was as easy as a simple game of paper, scissors, rock. He was known to be ruthless to the core and n.o.body in this world would dare try to offend him. He didn't just destroy his own father, he also destroyed the entire Li family, his father's second wife's family. Chen Seiji, caused the Li Corporation's bankruptcy, blacklisting them in the world of business and sent Li Suyan to jail along with his father by callously revealing their every crime, including the a.s.sa.s.sination of his mother, Mikazuki Fei.

In the last five years, every event that has happened was like a dramatic play everyone could hardly believe. The world watched the appearance of the dark horse who trampled the families in the highest echelon of power like they were ants. What emerged from that was a new giant no one dared go against.

At the end of those five years, the world witnessed not just the birth of the new G.o.d of business but also the declaration of a new hero.

The truth about the annihilation of the town of Zemei was revealed. Sei's name had long been cleared before he started his revenge years ago. He revealed the truth and the government that was seeking him pardoned him. Of course, Sei did everything he could to make it happen. He negotiated with the world powers and instead of making him an enemy, they chose to turn him into a formidable ally. He was also absolved of his past cyber-crimes when he was a child. Everything was cleared but n.o.body knew aside from Zaki that the case wasn't over yet.

Last year, Sei finally executed his plan and made the world believe that the man they thought was the real criminal responsible for the blast was actually a savior. Sei managed to s.h.i.+ft the blame back to the Blackleaf organization. He revealed that the Black Leaf forced the rogue and kidnapped scientists to formulate a bioweapon that could destroy the world, and the day their research succeeded, Mr. Miura Ken sacrificed his life to destroy the research by blasting the entire town, taking with him the scientists who formulated it.

The issue rocked the world for an entire year. The world discussed what would have happened if Miura Ken didn't destroy the weapon and when they thought about the Blackleaf or any terrorists using the weapon now, the people could only begin to support what Miura Ken did. In the end, the world started seeing him as the hero.

Sei's plan was a success. He wanted to destroy the Blackleaf into ashes and so he did. Like a monster craving the blood of those who wronged him, Sei destroyed them all. His wrath was so horrifying that even the leaders of the nations started fearing him.

He turned into an ice cold creature seen by many as the perfectly untouchable G.o.d.

…

As the presenter finally stopped, Sei stayed silent. He just lifted his hand to tell them that the next presenter could now begin. However, suddenly, the hall's doors opened.

The man known as the tyc.o.o.n's right hand and younger brother, Chen Zaki, appeared.

He dashed towards Sei and whispered in his ear.

"Sei, something has happened. Little s.h.i.+n has been kidnapped from school." Zaki said and the intensity in Sei's eyes blazed with darkness so extreme that everyone except Zaki could only hold their breaths.

Sei stood noisily and left the hall without a word.

"The kidnapper seems to be one of his teachers. Your private army is on their way." Zaki continued as they both headed towards the rooftop.

Sei just looked at Zaki and said "No, dispatch this country's special forces right now," he ordered and Zaki could only do as was commanded. Country C's special forces, known as the Thundras, were among the most powerful in the world. They were known as one of the highly trained special forces that would only undertake near impossible missions. Yet, because Sei ordered them to, they would have to go and take the mission of saving his son.

But when Zaki thought about it, this mission was indeed as important as a crucial anti-terrorist mission. Actually, it was much, much more important than that. It was because, if something bad happened to the boy, Zaki couldn't even begin to imagine what Sei would do.

Inside the chopper heading towards the location of little s.h.i.+n, Sei was quiet and the atmosphere was getting darker and colder as each second ticked by.

Looking at him, Zaki spoke.

"The unit has been dispatched. Luckily, the team just arrived from their year long mission," he said but Sei just quietly stared outside the window.

The Thundra force actually had a slight connection with Sei from years ago. They were one of the tools Sei used to gain the trust of the world leaders, after all. Sei was the one who formulated a tactical strategy for the special forces to rescue the president of Country R from a hijacked plane. The only special forces team who managed to execute Sei's plan perfectly was the Thundras and Sei was genuinely impressed with them. That mission was almost impossible but Sei proved to the world what he could do and it was what made the world leaders come to the realization that he wasn't born to be an enemy but a frightening ally the world desperately needed.
