Chapter 1915: Chapter 1915: Settling All Accounts

"The fact that the other party dares to directly attack the National Security Bureau’s base already explains a lot. At least it shows that there are still mutated people within Huaxia. They just haven’t been discovered yet, and what about other places? Moreover, these mutated people can now obey orders. If we don’t act now, I’m afraid..."

"Alright, you don’t have to say more. Since you have already decided, I will definitely help you, and I will help to the end," Wuyan said firmly.

"Thank you. We have to set off early tomorrow, so you should get some rest." Ye Shikai suddenly felt a bit moved. Wuyan once had unspoken affections for him, but she also knew very well that she and Ye Shikai could never be together. Even so, why was she still willing to fully assist him? He couldn’t explain it, perhaps she and Ji Qian were similar, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

"You too, take care and stay safe. But you needn’t worry too much. Last time, I gave you a Lifebound Gu. Even if the other party really has a poisonous insect, with the Lifebound Gu protecting you, there would be no life-threatening danger, especially with me present."

"By the way, do you still have the Lifebound Gu you gave me last time? This time, along with me, there are some brothers from the Netherworld Palace and members of the National Security Bureau. If they also had a Lifebound Gu, they wouldn’t have to fear the opponent’s worm poison," Ye Shikai inquired.

"Do you think Lifebound Gu is like cabbage? That it would be enough to go around." Wuyan rolled her eyes at him. "To tell you the truth, it takes decades for Lifebound Gu to reproduce. Even artificially, it can’t be sped up. Even though I am the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect, I can only carry one with me." Wuyan’s words shocked Ye Shikai, as he didn’t expect nurturing a Lifebound Gu to take so long, decades no less, making it rarer than any rare animal. But looking at it from another angle, such a rare object, Wuyan just gave to Ye Shikai without asking for anything in return. Ye Shikai understood her intentions well...

"Thank you. Such a precious item, yet you gave it to me like this..."

"Your value far surpasses that of a Lifebound Gu, whether publicly or privately, I would still give you this Lifebound Gu," Wuyan continued. "If Jin Li also had a Lifebound Gu, he’d probably be willing to give it to you over begrudgingly holding onto it for Tianjing."

"That shouldn’t be possible, no matter what, Tianjing is also his trusted subordinate." Ye Shikai was somewhat skeptical. Tianjing died from the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect. Otherwise, with his abilities, how could he have been ambushed?

"Tianjing is indeed his trusted subordinate, but ultimately, Tianjing’s abilities are limited. Handling domestic issues is quite adequate, but abroad, neither his abilities nor connections compare to yours. On handling the HST project, your value is far higher than his. So, if Jin Li had to choose between two, he would choose you. Though this sounds cruel, the duty of the National Security Bureau is such. The HST project has reached its current extent and must be eliminated swiftly; otherwise, even if Tianjing doesn’t die this time, he will the next, and by then, it won’t just be him." Wuyan’s words indeed shocked Ye Shikai, but upon reflection, it was indeed the case.

It is quite cruel, but since Jin Li occupies that position, his rationality must outweigh his emotions. Even if Tianjing knew this, he shouldn’t have complaints, right? Since he is the leader of the Divine Weapon Special Group, he’s already prepared for this mentally, as have Jing Xie, Shen Wu, and Phoenix. Since they haven’t retreated, they must be prepared to die.

"Alright, I told you so much just to let you know that in dealing with the HST project, your importance even exceeds Jin Li, as it’s abroad. Since defeating Doris and Aphrodite, the Netherworld Palace holds a dominant position in the Underworld abroad, commanding obedience."

"Alright, I understand your point. In any case, I just want to say, thank you, Wuyan. Also, I have one small question," Ye Shikai nodded.

"What’s your question? Feel free to ask."

"Did you mean it or was it your assumption that Jin Li would rather give the Lifebound Gu to me over holding onto it for Tianjing?"

"In fact, I once gifted a Lifebound Gu to Jin Li. It should be in the National Security Bureau’s top-secret vault. As for this incident, it’s not Jin Li’s fault. No one expected the opponent to use the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect against Tianjing." Wuyan sounded a bit low in spirit. This was no one’s fault. If Lifebound Gu were like cabbage, Wuyan wouldn’t be stingy and would ensure every member had one. If Jin Li had known Tianjing would die from the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect, he also would have given him a Lifebound Gu...

Late night, the Chen family.

"What? You’re going abroad tomorrow, no way, I absolutely cannot agree." Chen Yuxin immediately refused after hearing.

"Xin, I understand how you feel, so let me be straight with you. This is about settling old scores. If successful, I’ll have no worries domestically or abroad, and I can stay home with you." Ye Shikai had anticipated Chen Yuxin’s reaction, but the plan was set, there could be no changes.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, I can swear to it."

"Alright then, since this is the last time, I agree. But, I want to go too," Chen Yuxin’s words almost knocked him off the bed.

"How can you go? It’s a combined operation between the Netherworld Palace and the National Security Bureau, Xin. This isn’t a trip to North America. How can you go?" Ye Shikai tried to dissuade her.

"This time, I’ll bring all the Chen family elites and all members from the Shadow Organization. Our strength shouldn’t be weaker than your Netherworld Palace, right? Kai, I’m not going for a vacation; I’m going to fight. If you can go, why can’t I?" Chen Yuxin stated determinedly.

"What about the child?" Ye Shikai asked.

"There’s a nanny at home; I’ll have Ruoya stay at home and watch over. It’s just a few days; there shouldn’t be any problem."

"Xin, let me ask you again, are you serious?" Ye Shikai asked back.

"Do I ever not mean it? Just as we speak, I’ve already notified everyone to gather tomorrow morning." Chen Yuxin didn’t seem to be joking. She is also a skilled practitioner; in terms of combat ability, she ranks top in Huaxia.

"Since it’s like that, I’ll notify Jin Li. Besides, this must remain top secret, don’t let it leak."
