Chapter 45: Chapter 44
"You are Shura?"
A middle-aged man blocked Chen Ye's path.
The man was dressed in ancient clothing, with long hair and a sword at his waist, looking like an ancient swordsman. Of course, this was a disguise within the Reincarnation Space. In the Reincarnation Space, no one was foolish enough to show their true face.
Seeing this man, the bar erupted in exclamations.
"Holy crap, it's 'One Leaf Knows Autumn'!"
"It's really One Leaf Knows Autumn, ranked 97th in the Global Top 100 Experts!"
"I just heard that One Leaf Knows Autumn was looking for Shura everywhere. I didn't think it was true!"
"Is One Leaf Knows Autumn looking for Shura to buy the 'World War Z' strategy guide? He doesn't need it, does he?"
"Idiot, even if he doesn't need it, can't he get it for someone else?"
...
Hearing the chatter around him, Chen Ye understood who the man was and why he had come.
One Leaf Knows Autumn!
The uncle of Ye Gucheng!
Even knowing his identity, Chen Ye wasn't afraid. In the Reincarnation Space, outside of instance worlds, violence was strictly prohibited. Anyone who tried would be instantly killed!
"That's me!"
One Leaf Knows Autumn was direct, immediately questioning, "Did you kill my nephew, Ye Gucheng?"
Hearing this, the entire bar filled with the sound of people gasping.
Many stared wide-eyed, looking surprised and excited.
It turned out One Leaf Knows Autumn was here to cause trouble.
Everyone held their breath, ready to watch the drama unfold.
"It was me!"
Chen Ye admitted openly.
He didn't even bother to defend himself!
He directly showed a confrontational attitude.
It wasn't arrogance. Chen Ye knew that defending himself was pointless. Many reincarnators had probably seen him take Ye Gucheng's Black Sword Autumn Water. Although Ye Gucheng was killed by zombies, it could still be blamed on Chen Ye. Without his shot, Ye Gucheng might have escaped.
Besides, Chen Ye had nothing to fear!
One Leaf Knows Autumn wasn't on his level, so they couldn't be in the same instance world. And with violence prohibited in the Reincarnation Space, One Leaf Knows Autumn couldn't personally trouble him!
At most, he could hire someone.
But at the same level, Chen Ye feared no one.
Hearing Chen Ye's straightforward admission, One Leaf Knows Autumn's face darkened.
"Good! Very bold!" One Leaf Knows Autumn said coldly, "Why did you kill him?"
"You know what kind of person your nephew was, don't you?"
Chen Ye said calmly, "He tried to trick me and steal my progress. So, I killed him. What's the problem?"
The people around them suddenly understood.
This sort of thing happened often in the Reincarnation Space!
Once inside an instance world, the rules became survival of the fittest, unavoidable.
Many looked at Shura with admiration for his guts but also felt sympathy for him.
Fighting in instance worlds was common among reincarnators, but crossing someone with a powerful backer was unlucky.
Shura would have trouble ahead...
No one underestimated One Leaf Knows Autumn.
Ranked 97th on the Global Top 100 Experts list might not sound high, but it was among billions of reincarnators worldwide!
Being in the top 100 meant he was a top-tier expert.
"Kneel and apologize!" One Leaf Knows Autumn demanded coldly. "Hand over the 'World War Z' strategy guide and break your own hand. Then this will be over!"
The Reincarnation Space forbids violence, but self-harm doesn't count...
Hearing this, Chen Ye couldn't help but laugh.
Then, he mocked, "I thought someone ranked in the top 100 would be smart, but you're just an idiot... Have you read too many novels?"
Everyone: "..."
The whole bar was stunned. No one expected Shura to have the guts to insult One Leaf Knows Autumn to his face.
Holy crap!
Shura is fierce!!!
"Good! Very good!"
One Leaf Knows Autumn's face turned ashen. He glared coldly at Chen Ye, "No one has spoken to me like this in a long time. You're good."
Then, One Leaf Knows Autumn took out a Devil Fruit from his personal storage and held it up high, announcing loudly:
"This is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit! I, One Leaf Knows Autumn, hereby issue a bounty. Anyone who can kill Shura in an instance world will receive this Devil Fruit from me!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bar fell silent.
Everyone stared at the Devil Fruit, breathing heavily...
The value of Devil Fruits was well-known. Eating one could grant superpowers, making one a powerful psychic overnight!
After issuing the bounty, One Leaf Knows Autumn put the Devil Fruit away.
Originally, he had planned to give it to Ye Jin (Ye Gucheng) for his nineteenth birthday.
But now...
"Shura, some say you are the most talented genius in the history of the Reincarnation Space?"
One Leaf Knows Autumn said, "I hope you don't die too soon. I'll be waiting for you on the 26th floor of the Reincarnation Tower!!"
"Fine!" Chen Ye replied calmly, "You better not die early either. I'll come for your head!"
Hearing this, One Leaf Knows Autumn just sneered coldly and left the bar.
