Chen Yuxin initially wanted to appear in a "tender" scene, reaching out to give Ye Shikai a hug, but what greeted her was an unfeeling expression.
"Let go of ." Ye Shikai shrugged off Chen Yuxin’s hands, his cold tone devoid of any emotion. Since the mont he stepped into the God King Hall, there existed a chasm between him and Chen Yuxin that could never be crossed. He could never forgive Chen Yuxin like nothing happened, especially since she even wanted to harm Ji Qian.
"Kai, can we go back now?" Chen Yuxin’s eyes flickered, feeling anxious about Ye Shikai’s attitude, fearing that Ye Shikai no longer wanted her.
"Only now you ntion going back? Why did you send here before?" Ye Shikai’s voice trembled. He resented Chen Yuxin, of course, but he couldn’t bring himself to fully hate her. This woman held a special significance for him, yet this matter destined their relationship to hit rock bottom.
"I don’t want to go back right now." Ye Shikai said firmly. He had made up his mind; he wouldn’t return to the Chen family, at least not for the ti being.
Ye Shikai turned around, pulling Ji Qian to his side, shielding her behind him. Feng Ling and Xue Ming naturally dared not stop them.
"You should go back first. I don’t want to see you right now." Ye Shikai said decisively, holding Ji Qian’s hand as they walked into the camp. He didn’t look back, fearing that seeing Chen Yuxin’s tearful face would soften his heart. This ti, no matter what Chen Yuxin did, he was determined to remain unmoved.
"Boss, you all go inside first. I’ll stay here with our brothers." Soul Destroyer worried Chen Yuxin might lead a forceful attack, but fortunately, they had plenty of seasoned Hidden Guards and Moon Guards by their side, along with Wang Kai’s War God Temple. It wouldn’t be easy for Chen Yuxin to break through.
"Stay alert."
Inside the camp.
"Are you really not going to care about her?" Surprisingly, the first person to worry about Chen Yuxin was Ji Qian. She wasn’t concerned for Chen Yuxin personally; after all the heinous acts, Chen Yuxin deserved this outco. But still, in Chen Yuxin’s belly was Ye Shikai’s child. If she lost her mind and hard the child, Ji Qian wouldn’t want that, because the child carries Ye Shikai’s blood.
"I want to separate from her for a while. For now, I don’t want to see her. I’ll call her later to explain." Ye Shikai turned to Ji Qian, his weary eyes finally revealing a hint of relief.
"Really, thank you this ti. Earlier... did you get hurt?" Ye Shikai reached to check Ji Qian’s collar, as things had been dangerously close earlier. If Xue Ming and Feng Ling’s daggers had gone a little lower, there would have been bloodshed.
"I’m fine, not hurt." Ji Qian brushed his hand away but couldn’t help revealing a smile.
"I’ve been in North Arica long enough. Once I finish helping Martin, we’ll pack up and leave."
"Leave? Where do you want to go?" Ji Qian asked in return.
"Europe, of course. Yanjing... I don’t want to go back for now." Ye Shikai sighed deeply. Yanjing is a place of heartbreak for him...
.....................
In Martin’s bar.
"Who exactly are you?" Avril looked at Ye Shikai suspiciously.
"What’s wrong? It’s only been two days, and you don’t recognize ?" Ye Shikai sipped his beer with calm certainty. Now, with the power of the Netherworld Palace in his hands, helping Martin beco the "City West Dominator" was too simple. Besides, Zeus was dead, and no underground force in this city could challenge him.
"I an your identity." Avril retorted, and Ye Shikai could virtually ascertain that this woman must have a penchant for suspicion. Ever since he joined Martin’s team on the first day, she seed to have been prying into Ye Shikai’s identity.
"For Martin to quickly gain Sixth Master’s support, it should be your doing, right?"
"Really? If you hadn’t ntioned it, I wouldn’t have known I’m that impressive." Ye Shikai chuckled, posing as clueless. Helping Martin was sothing he had Soul Destroyer and Nightmare handle, all done "under the table," so no one could trace it, not even Martin. How did it happen that in just one day, Sixth Master’s attitude made a 180-degree turn, and he ca "crying and shouting" to help Martin?
Ye Shikai didn’t want to expose his identity. This ti he helped Martin, as repaynt for the assistance Martin once provided him. But after this, he considered his obligation fulfilled, and Martin’s future choices were his own.
"You just disappeared for one day, and Sixth Master flipped. Don’t tell it has nothing to do with you." Avril interrogated.
"Think whatever you want, it’s irrelevant to ." Ye Shikai waved his hand; even if suspicion arose, Avril lacked the capability to investigate him directly.
"By the way, I’m leaving North Arica soon." Ye Shikai switched gears. Although he hadn’t stayed long, Martin’s team was indeed friendly; otherwise, it wouldn’t have attracted such a devoted following. But Ye Shikai didn’t belong here, and leaving was inevitable.
"Did sothing happen?" Avril’s expression changed, showing curiosity and reluctance at Ye Shikai’s departure.
"Avril, I’ll tell you the truth." Ye Shikai didn’t want to deceive her. He couldn’t find a "reasonable excuse" for leaving North Arica, so he had to be honest with Avril.
"Actually... I am Hades." Ye Shikai said softly.
"Haha, Ye, that’s not a funny joke." Avril froze upon hearing it. Since she knew Zeus, she must also know the fad Hades’ na, as both are among the top experts among the Main Gods.
"Hades is a supre cultivator. That’s impossible..."
"The story is long. I’ve lost my Inner Strength, and this is a secret. I hope you can keep it confidential." Ye Shikai spoke softly, yet each word struck heavily in Avril’s heart.
"Then... are you returning to Europe?" Avril said, her tone slightly somber. She knew Ye Shikai didn’t like joking, much less claiming "soone else’s na." She already believed him in her heart.
"Yes, I haven’t been back for a long ti, and besides, this isn’t my territory." Ye Shikai downed a mouthful of beer.
"I didn’t expect the impoverished vagrant sleeping in the underground passage was actually the renowned Hades." Avril suddenly teased, "I didn’t expect Hades had been by our side all along."
"Hades is rely a title without aning. Even after you’ve learned the truth, you’re still sitting next to , having a drink together."
