Chapter 391: Lifetime Ban!

No one objected to Adam's proposal.

But unexpectedly, Adam suddenly turned to look at Chen Ye, changing the topic: "However, Mr. Chen Ye, due to your mistake that resulted in the deaths of many fellow participants, I must formally inform you that you are banned from competition! From this moment on, you are disqualified from all future Reincarnator tournaments!"

Adam didn't raise his voice.

But at this moment, everyone was focused on the proceedings, so every word he said was clearly heard by all present.

Everyone was stunned!

No one had expected Adam to make such a decision.

Very quickly, some shrewd individuals realized Adam's true intention behind this move...

It had to be said, this previously unknown Chen Ye had astonishing strength. His real power definitely placed him among the top-tier of A-rank Reincarnators.

His presence had seriously interfered with Adam's plan to slowly erode Xia Country's influence.

Originally, Adam initiated this Reincarnator tournament with the intention of holding it annually, using the competition as a bloodless means of seizing Xia's territory—thus avoiding direct confrontation with the Director-General, Han Li.

Not that Adam feared Han Li.

But the existence of S-rank experts was enough to destroy a planet. He feared that a direct invasion of Xia might provoke Han Li to overturn the table and destroy the planet they were all standing on...

Adam still wanted to enjoy his beautiful life.

Of course he didn't want the planet to be destroyed.

That's why he devised this tournament approach, hoping to gradually consume Xia's power.

He originally thought, even though Xia had a powerful Director-General, they lacked any top-tier A-rank Reincarnators. The tournament plan would surely succeed.

Winning two or three cities every year would eventually hollow out Xia entirely.

As for Xia winning cities from other countries?

It didn't matter!

Most foreign cities had already been ravaged by Reincarnators—who cared anymore?

But unexpectedly…

Xia had been hiding a Chen Ye!

This guy's flame ability was truly terrifying. The fact that he defeated—and possibly killed—the German youth proved that his strength placed him among the absolute top A-rank Reincarnators. Likely, only the black man Will could suppress him.

Adam had long been thinking of how to remove Chen Ye.

He had even considered secretly eliminating him after the tournament ended.

Why not just have Will deal with Chen Ye in the arena?

Sorry.

Will said he wasn't confident he could do it...

So when Chen Ye made a "mistake" that killed many Reincarnators, Adam finally found the excuse to ban him from competition.

Once Chen Ye was banned, what could that so-called Vajra Hu Zhong do? He'd be stripped of his dignity year after year.

...

"I object!"

The Director-General said in a deep voice, "Martin, what gives you the right to impose a competition ban on one of my people?"

Although Han Li's expression remained calm, the anger in his tone was unmistakable to anyone.

To become an S-rank powerhouse and reach the Divine Transformation stage, Han Li must have been extraordinarily perceptive.

He knew exactly what Adam was scheming.

"Don't be angry, Han," Adam said with a smile. "You witnessed the incident just now. I believe Mr. Chen Ye's flame ability is too destructive in scope and is unsuitable for further participation in such competitions."

"Moreover, over a hundred people died. Even if Mr. Chen Ye didn't act intentionally, surely we owe an explanation to the deceased comrades, don't we?"

It had to be said—

Adam was very skilled with words.

The reasons he gave seemed reasonable and dignified, leaving little room for rebuttal.

Indeed!

Over a hundred people died (mostly B-rank Reincarnators), and in any country, this would be considered a major security incident. It couldn't be brushed aside as merely an accident.

Just based on this, Chen Ye was indeed in the wrong.

The Director-General certainly wouldn't back down so easily. He said, "We are sorry for the accident and are willing to provide reasonable compensation to the families of the deceased. That alone is not sufficient grounds to ban Chen Ye. As long as he refrains from using wide-range abilities, that should suffice."

He emphasized the word "reasonable" deliberately, to prevent the families of the deceased from making excessive and unrealistic demands.

They were all foreigners—Han Li had no intention of spoiling them.

Faced with this rebuttal, Adam simply smiled and said, "Han, it seems we're at an impasse. In that case, I propose we put it to a vote. Let everyone make the decision. What do you say?"

The Director-General's expression immediately darkened.

There was no need to guess the outcome of the vote.

This tournament was a trap designed specifically against Xia.

If he weren't worried that Xia's Reincarnators might be isolated or targeted by other countries, the Director-General would never have participated in such a tournament.

The real mastermind behind this tournament was the powerful elites of the Pretty Country. They had long coveted Xia's resources and promised Adam certain benefits. The current situation was the result of their collusion.

As for what benefits convinced Adam?

Simple.

Any woman Adam fancied—those elites would fetch her, clean her up, and deliver her straight to Adam's bed.

Including even those untouchable Hollywood actresses!

Don't be fooled by Adam's sunny smile—he was in truth a lustful fiend, and this was his vice. Otherwise, he wouldn't have run off to the Pretty Country.

Someone might argue that with Adam's power, he could do whatever he pleased—take anyone by force if he wanted. Laws no longer applied to someone like him.

And they wouldn't be wrong.

But Adam was peculiar. Though he was a lustful fiend, he didn't enjoy using force on women—he found it dull...

And for this tournament, the elites had already helped contact other nations. Adam had the weight of the world behind him and was using overwhelming pressure.

If the Director-General refused, Xia's Reincarnators would be ostracized in the Lord God's space—possibly even targeted on purpose by other countries' Reincarnators during missions...

The Director-General agreed to the tournament purely for the bigger picture.

Xia's other Reincarnators needed time to grow!

He alone could not hold back the foreign wolves forever.

...

Just as the Director-General prepared to overturn the table as a threat—

Chen Ye suddenly spoke up on his own.

"Director, there's no need to argue for me. I agree to the ban."

At this point, he could already see the deeper meaning behind the tournament.

To be honest—

He found the foreign devils' scheme laughable...

Because in the world of Reincarnators, strength was what truly spoke!

He had the Saitama talent. At his current rate of growth, in just one or two more years, he would be invincible even on Earth.

When that time came, Adam, Sharman—he would kill them all!

Without them, the so-called erosion plan would collapse on its own.

Moreover—

Chen Ye was quite satisfied with what he'd gained from this trip. Not only did he earn a large amount of potential points, but he also experienced the power of top-tier Reincarnators firsthand.

Aside from the S-rank Reincarnators, the rest… weren't anything special.

Hearing Chen Ye's words, the Director-General grew anxious.

"Chen Ye, do you know what you're saying?"

It was the first time the Director-General had shown such urgency.

Until now, he had always been calm and composed, like an immortal in the mortal world.

This moment of agitation finally made him seem a little more human.

Chen Ye understood what the Director-General was anxious about, and said with a cheerful smile, "I think Mr. Martin is right. Over a hundred people died because of me—there should be an explanation."

"Hahaha!"

Adam suddenly burst into laughter, then deliberately added, "Mr. Chen is a responsible man. Han, you can't possibly force Mr. Chen to change his mind, can you? That would be a violation of human rights!"

The Director-General's face turned extremely grim!

He hadn't expected that just when he was fighting tooth and nail to defend Chen Ye, the man himself would drop the ball...

Then—

The Director-General let out a cold snort and called out, "Old Hu, we're leaving!"

"Alright…"

Hu Zhong glanced at Chen Ye, shook his head, and said nothing.

Next—

The Director-General directly summoned his flying sword, clearly intending to leave immediately.

Because at this point, only Chen Ye remained in the tournament representing Xia.

Now that Chen Ye had voluntarily agreed to a competition ban, the upcoming matches had nothing to do with Xia.

In that case, what was the point of staying?

To get insulted?

Adam did not stop the Director-General's departure. He simply stood there with a full smile on his face.

On the other hand, Chen Ye was a little dumbfounded, clearly not expecting that the Director-General would be so straightforward—saying he'd leave and just leaving.

After thinking it over—

He thickened his skin and followed after them.

The Director-General was a good man. With someone like him around, Xia could remain stable—which aligned with Chen Ye's plans for the future.

So, Chen Ye felt it was necessary to explain...

…

The tournament continued.

But for Xia, it was a dismal and abrupt end.

Moments later—

The flying sword soared through the skies, leaving the island far behind.

Although the Director-General did not stop Chen Ye from following, the others on the flying sword intentionally distanced themselves from him.

Only Hu Zhong stood nearby, looking at Chen Ye with a sigh.

"Brother Chen, what you did back there was really…"

He shook his head, his expression conflicted.

Chen Ye smiled and proactively walked up to the Director-General.

"Director-General, I know you don't understand my actions, but I had my reasons. Please wait patiently—in time, you'll understand."

He couldn't say too much.

Otherwise, he might expose his true capabilities.

Hearing that, the Director-General was momentarily dazed. He turned to look at Chen Ye.

After a moment of thought, he chose to say nothing.

Since Chen Ye asked for patience, then he would wait.

No matter what—

In today's tournament, Chen Ye had indeed rendered great service to Xia, helping secure two city victories.

One from the Wa country, and one from Germany.

The Director-General wasn't worried those countries would try to back out.

Since the Reincarnator tournament was a scheme specifically targeting Xia, Adam and his faction would definitely uphold the rules of the event.

If Wa or Germany tried to renege, the first one to put them in their place would be Adam himself!

Very soon—

The Director-General's group returned to Xia.

And the events of this tournament quickly spread throughout the Reincarnator circles.

"Who would've thought Chen Ye had such strength?"

"Yeah! He's insanely powerful."

"In my opinion, that guy might even be on par with the Black Undertaker. Definitely a top-tier A-rank!"

"Strange. With that level of strength, why doesn't his name appear on the expert rankings?"

"Bro, haven't you even heard of Hidden Ones? But surely you know about that newly promoted S-rank powerhouse from last year, right? His name was never on the ranking board either. He kept a low profile the entire time. By the time people realized who he was, he was already S-rank… That's what a Hidden One is! They can use special items to keep their names off the list."

"I see…"

"Not gonna lie, Chen's final decision was incredibly foolish! Even I know that with him around, we could've at least slowed the foreign devils' plot. Didn't expect him to just… give in. Even the Director-General lost his temper—that was the first time I've ever seen him angry."

"Yeah, it really wasn't a cool move…"

"Sigh! Still, we have to admit—he rendered great merit. If he hadn't appeared out of nowhere, we probably would've lost several cities."

Similar discussions—

Spread through every Reincarnator circle.

These past few days, Chen Ye's reputation had taken a hit.

As for Chen Ye himself—

He couldn't care less.

To put it bluntly, Reincarnators valued benefit and strength above all else. Once he killed Adam, all the chatter would naturally disappear.

A few days later—

A new appointment letter was sent to the province where Chen Ye's hometown was located.

It was about Chen Ye's promotion.

He had been promoted—

And not just by one or two levels. He was directly appointed as the head of a branch bureau.

After all, with Chen Ye's strength, even if the Director-General disapproved of his decision, he couldn't overlook his capabilities.

Not to mention, Chen Ye had made significant contributions during the tournament!

Strictly speaking, he won three matches!

Though one of them was negated due to Zhao Hu's involvement—it had to be traded with the Wa country.

Speaking of Zhao Hu—

His reputation was now even worse than Chen Ye's. He had become notorious.

That match had been live streamed.

Many Reincarnators who couldn't attend in person watched via broadcast.

Zhao Hu's performance was the textbook example of trying to show off and getting humiliated instead!

The key was—it was a crucial match. He wasn't just representing himself. To pull such a blunder in such a high-stakes scenario—of course he got scolded!

Reportedly—

Zhao Hu disappeared completely after returning. No one has heard from him since…

And Zhao Hu wasn't the only one who vanished.

That Director Yang and his sister, who had deliberately targeted Chen Ye before, also went missing abroad.

Clearly realizing things had gone south, they cut ties and disappeared—no one knows where they've hidden.

To avoid any misunderstanding—

Today, Hu Zhong personally visited Chen Ye to explain.

"Brother Chen, about the Yang siblings, you have to believe me—I really didn't know they'd pull something like that. Those bastards must have fox blood in their veins…"

Chen Ye smiled and waved it off. "That's a minor thing… Since you're here, Director Hu, don't rush off. Some of the colleagues helped organize a promotion banquet for me tomorrow—you've got to join us for a drink!"

As for the Yang siblings—

Chen Ye really didn't care.
