The God King Hall and the Netherworld Palace have always been arch-enemies. Now that Zeus has been ambushed and severely wounded to death, it happened suddenly. Ji Qian understands that the more chaotic the ti, the quicker the action should be taken to stabilize, to swiftly clear out the God King Hall in the most effective manner now. But this also requires considering the reality, the God King Hall is united at this mont. Though Zeus is dead, the remaining mbers, under Aphrodite’s leadership, surely won’t surrender and will fight the Three Temples fiercely, even if they barely win. Within the God King Hall, resistance will surface endlessly. They’re controlling a ’ticking ti bomb,’ so rather than hold onto this ’hot potato,’ it’s best to toss it away.
"Miss Ji, now that Zeus is dead, our cooperation ends. I hope you adhere to the agreent." Chen Yuxin looked at Zeus’ dead body on the ground, expressionless. Whether Zeus was alive or dead didn’t concern her. Even if he was a hero, Chen Yuxin wouldn’t give any judgnt because the only person she cared about was Ye Shikai. Once the cooperation ended, as a return, whether it’s Chen Yuxin or Ji Qian who finds Ye Shikai, they must deliver him to Chen Yuxin personally.
"Don’t worry." Ji Qian waved her hand lightly. Honestly, she really didn’t want to do it. Although Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin were a married couple, Ji Qian understood how Chen Yuxin treated him.
Ji Qian had impulsive thoughts too. Once finding Ye Shikai, she thought about bringing him back to Europe, even if it ant breaking ties with the Chen family. Ji Qian wasn’t afraid of any challenge, but she worried Ye Shikai wouldn’t approve of such actions. She always put his feelings first.
Speaking of which, Zeus’s death doesn’t an the matter is over. Ye Shikai is still missing, and it’s uncertain if he’s already left this city. Thinking of this, Ji Qian felt a bit more troubled.
"Lord Moon God, what do we do now?" Nightmare asked, feeling that Zeus dying out in the wilderness wasn’t quite the finish.
"Take the corpse; we will go to the God King Hall." Ji Qian had already planned; none among those present could take charge of the God King Hall. Thus, it couldn’t simply end here. Once the guards of the God King Hall saw this corpse, they would surely be shocked, even terrified. In this way, the intended effect would be achieved; without a leader, the God King Hall couldn’t be a match for the Three Temples. Returning to Europe, Ji Qian planned to start ’occupying’ the God King Hall’s assets in North Arica, thus greatly weakening the God King Hall’s ability to ’revive.’
"That sounds great. Let those God King Hall rascals see that their boss is dead, and when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter—their good days will end soon." Wang Kai laughed loudly. Finally, Zeus was dead; it’s just a pity that he didn’t "witness it with his own eyes."

"Ye, you finally ca." anwhile, in a corner of a North Arican city, Ye Shikai also ca to the "eting." Martin’s n brought him to a bar. As soon as he entered, Ye Shikai saw dozens of burly n drinking beer on one side; most people wouldn’t dare get close after a glance, but Ye Shikai was fearless. He’d long been accustod to these settings. Martin ca out of a room inside and gave Ye Shikai a big hug, seeing him, the surrounding n also stood up.
"Mr. Martin, is this the place you arranged? Why do I feel... it’s more crowded with eyes watching." Ye Shikai was brought by Martin into the room, frankly, quite curious. He thought Martin would et him in a rather "quiet" place; unexpectedly, it was here.
"Rest assured, Mr. Ye, all those outside are my n, and this bar is of course mine. Usually, there aren’t any custors; it’s just a place for my n to rest." Martin poured Ye Shikai a glass of whiskey, "So you needn’t worry. No third person will know what we discuss today."
"Alright then, go ahead and tell what you want to do." Ye Shikai got straight to the point. In Huaxia, people like to chat about sentint before business, while Westerners prefer to talk directly about the issue. Ye Shikai doesn’t like to drag on for long—the direct approach is more satisfying. Speaking of which, having taken so many gold bars from Martin, he would feel a bit uneasy not doing anything.
"I was about to talk to you about this matter." Martin shook his head, "Originally wanted you to join an operation, but suddenly, sothing ca up, the operation canceled."
"Really? I’m a bit curious, what sort of operation was it?" Ye Shikai was surprised, didn’t expect such a thing.
"Ye, you don’t know, sothing big happened yesterday, the entire North Arica was shocked, especially from my position. You might not know, but... it’s truly a big thing." Martin seed hesitant, wondering if Ye Shikai could "understand."
"Go ahead and say, maybe I know sothing." Ye Shikai gestured with his hand, appearing only as a vagrant, Martin shouldn’t really regard him as just a vagrant.
"As I thought, Ye, you surely aren’t an ordinary person." Martin suddenly said, making Ye Shikai realize he "fell into the trap," as Martin was probing him all along.
"Feel free to think as you wish." Ye Shikai appeared indifferent; whether he was ordinary or not wasn’t really important, was it?
"Now I’m more curious, Ye, do you know who it was?" Martin asked back.
"No rush to answer, you first tell what happened exactly."
"Alright then, do you know the Main God in the Underworld?"
"This... I’ve heard of it." Ye Shikai didn’t deny it. Martin’s implication was this big event involved the Main God; if he didn’t acknowledge knowing, Martin wouldn’t continue.
"Among them, the North Arican dominating Main God, Zeus, was killed yesterday."
"What did you say?" Ye Shikai, astonished, shouted, jumping up from the chair, giving Martin a start.
"Ye, what’s with this reaction?"
"Oh, nothing." Ye Shikai realized his faux pas and quickly sat back down. However... Zeus being dead was beyond his expectations; who on earth killed Zeus?
Ye Shikai and Zeus could be considered rivals; he thought they’d ultimately die at each other’s hands. Unexpectedly, Ye Shikai lost his inner strength, and Zeus was killed at this ti.
"Do you... know Zeus then?" Martin tested, seeing Ye Shikai’s earlier big reaction seed to indicate familiarity with Zeus.
