140: Chapter 140 Ailina 140: Chapter 140 Ailina Everyone looked at each other after hearing Ye Shikai’s orders, but Ye Shikai knew well that Huaxia had a deep foundation different from abroad.
Abroad, besides several major forces, other formidable characters generally were renowned figures, while in Huaxia, the real threats were old monsters hidden in the depths, further compounded by the presence of the National Security Bureau.
Since Ye Shikai was originally from Huaxia, he did not want any incidents here, so both publicly and privately, this order was necessary.
“Alright, we all listen to Boss,” said the man called Short-nosed Crocodile.
Short-nosed Crocodile was a Caucasian, and compared to Wild Wolf, he appeared more ordinary; however, the bloody scent on him was completely unmasked.
Ye Shikai knew his prowess in assassinations and surprise attacks, playing with two daggers in his hands to perfection, and he also had several butterfly knives tucked at his waist for use as hidden weapons.
“As you command.” With Short-nosed Crocodile taking the lead, others also echoed one after another.
They would not oppose Ye Shikai’s orders, which Ye Shikai was well aware of.
“I heard Boss ran into some trouble here in Huaxia.” At this moment, a seductive Caucasian woman wearing red high heels and a fire-red leather jacket stepped out from the crowd and actually came up beside Ye Shikai, lightly hooking her arms around his neck.
“Ailina, you are being too presumptuous.” Before Ye Shikai could speak, Jeddon stepped forward, clearly dissatisfied with the woman named Ailina’s actions.
Jeddon was one of the earliest followers of Ye Shikai, normally showing him great respect, almost revering him, believing this woman’s actions to be offensive.
“Little Jeddy, you’ve got some nerve now, daring to lecture me.” Ailina seemed disdainful, throwing a disdainful glance at him.
Ye Shikai gently pushed Ailina away.
Originally, this woman was from another mercenary group, which later suffered a severe blow from its enemies, and Ailina then took refuge in the Netherworld Palace.
For some reason, Ailina was abroad, never minding the eyes of outsiders, and even in public, she flirted with Ye Shikai.
“How dare you infringe upon Lord Netherworld King’s dignity.” Jeddon was infuriated by Ailina’s attitude.
Everyone called Ye Shikai Boss, but only Jeddon always referred to him as Lord Netherworld King, perhaps a characteristic of his deep veneration.
“I’m showing affection with him, what’s it to you?” Ailina said, leaning her body towards Hin, appearing very intimate.
However, Ye Shikai was not swayed by her seduction, having long been immune to it, especially since he now had a wife.
“Lord Netherworld King already has the Netherworld Empress, there’s no place for you.” Jeddon said, his tone brimming with dissatisfaction.
The Netherworld Empress he referred to was Su Qingyu.
It seemed like Ghost had already informed them about Ye Shikai’s marriage.
“Netherworld Empress, have you seen her, Little Jeddy?
You believe whatever Ghost casually says.”
“How dare you insult the Mistress.
You’re seeking death.” Jeddon’s hand was already on the hilt of his sword, with the long sword at his waist seemingly ready to be drawn any moment.
“Stop!” Ye Shikai timely stopped the two from clashing, and Jeddon reluctantly moved his hand away from the hilt.
“Ailina, why did you come here?
Ghost shouldn’t have allowed you to come,” Ye Shikai looked at the smug Ailina.
He had already informed Ghost earlier, so why had Ailina come again?
“Of course I’m here to help you out, seeing you all alone,” Ailina pouted as she spoke, clearly ignoring Su Qingyu, fully aware that she actually came to see Su Qingyu herself.
“Alright, but you better not cause any trouble, otherwise I’ll send you back immediately,” Ye Shikai said indifferently.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Ailina readily agreed, attempting to lean on Ye Shikai, but he dodged her immediately.
“Listen up, everyone,” Ye Shikai stepped among the group and addressed them, “Huaxia is the only place in the world without foreign forces intervening, so we must keep a low profile here.” Ye Shikai reiterated, emphasizing safety first in this area.
“Understood,” everyone responded.
“I’ve brought you all to Huaxia because there is a powerful force here.
Their movements are unpredictable, and they have cultivators among them, but their exact numbers are unknown.” Ye Shikai briefly explained about the force in black, including those assassins and the mysterious man in the black mask.
“Boss, don’t worry, whoever it is will fall under my iron fists,” Wild Wolf chuckled, revealing his thick, muscular arms.
Among the group, Wild Wolf was not a cultivator but a Body Refiner, which made his body incredibly tough.
Combined with the sheer strength of his arms, his power was not inferior to anyone from the Netherworld Palace.
“That’s right, we’re here,” Short-nosed Crocodile touched a dagger at his waist and said lightly.
“You are so strong that I don’t believe anyone can hurt you in the slightest, you must have brought us here to protect that woman of yours,” Ailina said jealously, making Ye Shikai somewhat embarrassed.
Frankly speaking, he wasn’t worried about any one-on-one fight, even with the man in the black mask, considering he was surrounded by a bunch of weaklings.
Luo Shiqi was fine as she had many elite bodyguards around her.
People would hesitate to harm her.
But Su Qingyu and Su Ziqing were directly exposed.
“To protect the Netherworld Empress, it is our inescapable duty,” Jeddon stood out, speaking righteously.
Ye Shikai noticed that Jeddon and Ailina seemed to be always at odds.
“Those people are not to be feared.
Boss is worried about those around him getting hurt.
Our brothers are itching for a fight; if they dare to come, we dare to kill,” Short-nosed Crocodile drew his dagger and sliced twice in the air, a murderous aura emanating from him.
Wild Wolf also swung his arms as if ready to fight at any moment.
Ye Shikai looked over the group.
This time he not only brought along capable fighters from the Netherworld Palace but also some intelligence personnel.
Since they were chosen by Ghost, surely they are not pushovers, and Ye Shikai felt quite reassured.
With these people, it might be possible to locate the source of that force and then eradicate them all at once.
“Everyone is tired today, let’s rest for now,” Ye Shikai spoke a few words and after strolling around the base for a while, he told everyone, considering they had just arrived and needed to adjust to Huaxia’s time difference.
Ye Shikai had them all go to rest; meanwhile, he took the opportunity to inspect the base.
