Chapter 561: Tell the Truth
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was true that the master of the Zou Family’s hidden guards was Zou Bai, but the main responsibility of the hidden guards was to protect everyone in the Zou Family. They weren’t all waiting for Zou Bai’s orders.
As the old madam of the Zou family, Wen Li had some secret guards around her. Zou Bai did not want to spy on his mother’s whereabouts, so they did not need to return to the secret guard headquarters. They just needed to report Wen Li’s safety on time.
Therefore, Zou Bai didn’t know what was happening in the country. He was still thinking about the reason for the appearance of the Church of the Eternal Night.
Ever since they were severely injured, they had started to disappear without a trace. Even the matter of expanding their believers had stopped, as if they had never appeared in this world.
However, Zou Bai knew that they wouldn’t give up. These people truly believed in the existence of the Apocalypse. After all, only when they believed in something without a doubt could they deceive others into believing it.
His first reaction was that these people were here to take revenge on him. He had to protect the people around him.
“Zou Er, from now on, you have to stay by Miss Jiang’s side and ensure her and the children’s safety. You can’t leave them,” Zou Bai said.
Zou Er had never objected to his master’s orders. He lowered his head and promised that he would never leave.
Jiang An was a little puzzled. “Why are you making Zou Er follow me? Is something going to happen?”
“Nothing at the moment. I’m just taking precautions,” Zou Bai said with a smile.
He didn’t want Jiang An to be worried. After all, everything was just his guess. There was no need to scare her by saying it now.
Zou Bai believed in Zou Er’s ability. He had the ability to protect Jiang An and the child. Although he wasn’t as eloquent as Zou Yi, he was indeed one of the best shadow guards. Zou Yi would sometimes lose to him.
As the person protecting Jiang An, he didn’t need to be quick-witted and fickle. As long as he had enough martial strength, it was enough.
However, Jiang An was not so easy to fool. She was no longer the gullible Tan Ming from before.
“That’s not right. I have people from the Jiang family following me now. There must be a reason why you asked Zou Er to follow me at this time.” Jiang An looked at Zou Bai. “Tell me the truth. Is the Church of Eternal Night trying to do something?”
Zou Bai lowered his head and sighed. “You’re growing too fast. I can’t hide it from you anymore.”
“Hurry up and tell the truth,” Jiang An said anxiously.
Zou Bai nodded and said, “Alright, many unpleasant things have happened between me and the Church of Eternal Night. We’ve even reached the point where we’re mortal enemies. As long as they have the ability to attack me, they definitely won’t give up. The entire Internet knows that we’re very close. I’m afraid they’ll attack you and the children.”
Zou Bai was only glad that he hadn’t announced the children’s backgrounds. Outsiders thought that Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi’s biological father was Si Cheng, so the church probably wouldn’t look at them.
They had always believed that only blood ties were reliable. After the believers joined the church, they had to give birth desperately to more devout believers. Therefore, they did not believe that these two children could threaten Zou Bai. After all, in their eyes, Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi were not his biological children. There was no use in capturing them.
However, this way, Jiang An would have to bear all the danger. These people would definitely target her.
“I’m the heir of the Jiang family and have the ability to protect myself. Since there’s a possibility of danger, tell me what you did back then. I have to know everything about this,” Jiang An said firmly.
She wasn’t the type to hide behind Zou Bai. If something happened, everyone would face it together.
Facing her determined gaze, Zou Bai finally acknowledged Jiang An’s growth. She was no longer the pitiful little girl who had just returned to the Jiang family and relied on her family to seek justice.
She had already become an heir who could take charge and could even protect others.
“Not only did I destroy their base, but I also took away one-third of their believers. I even killed their Holy Son,” Zou Bai said.
Jiang An did not understand what the Holy Son meant. He said in surprise, “You mean you killed a child?”
“He only looks like a child on the outside. He’s basically a monster under technology.” Zou Bai frowned when he mentioned this.
He would never forget that monster known as the Holy Son. Its existence proved how cruel humans were.
Jiang An held his hand. “No matter what it is, I can accept it. You’ll feel better if you tell me..”
