Chapter 585: Half of the Forces
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Yan Kuan’s forceful return made everyone excited. However, the news that he brought immediately shocked everyone.
The first to bear the brunt was, of course, the Dark Empire.
The Four Hall Masters immediately flew back to China after learning that Yan Kuan had returned. Yun Qi was the calmest, and Huo Gui was the most impatient. However, regardless of their previous tempers and personalities… They had all known that Long Xi was their boss.
At least, that was what Shen Xiaoxiao had told them back then. However, how did it become that Long Xi and their boss were fighting over a woman? Which one was real and which one was fake?
Yun Qi looked at the person in front of him. His face was a little pale. It did not seem appropriate, but this kind of person was very clear-headed when he told them about the things that they had done when they were young. Many secrets that only they knew were also revealed by him.
This time, even though they were willing to believe Shen Xiaoxiao, they could not believe it at this moment. What exactly was going on?
Fortunately, Long Xi and Yan Kuan attacked at the same time, so no news was exposed. At that time, they were standing at the back door. There were reporters, but the number of people was not as many as the number of people at the front door. Therefore, only a small group of people knew about this.
Even so, Shen Xiaoxiao and Long Xi did not show up three days after they left. Even if Yun Qi and the others wanted to believe in their new boss, they still left with the so-called ‘adulterer’ after not showing up for three days, this also caused everyone to gradually show their dissatisfaction toward her. Moreover, the hot-tempered Huo Gui and Lei Lie had already begun to clamor. As long as Shen Xiaoxiao dared to show up, they would definitely teach her a lesson.
All the properties under Yan Kuan’s name had already been transferred to Shen Xiaoxiao. The only one who could make the decision was the Dark Empire.
His return was like a shot of chicken blood in the Dark Empire. Previously, because of Shen Xiaoxiao, the Dark Empire had already stabilized. Even the black and white factions knew that their trusted leader was not inferior to Yan Kuan.
Now that Yan Kuan had returned, their leader was also an extremely powerful woman. This time, the Dark Empire’s limelight was truly unparalleled.
Of course, the relations.h.i.+p between Long Xi, Yan Kuan, and Shen Xiaoxiao had indeed been hidden by everyone.
The base many years ago was still in that dense forest that had not been opened to the public.
Shen Xiaoxiao brought the ten specially trained people that Long Xi had given her to the vicinity of this dense forest.
She spread out the map and told the ten people in detail about their respective positions and missions. She had been missing for three days, and 19 would definitely be used as a punching bag to vent her anger.
Everyone was arranged out. Shen Xiaoxiao rubbed her head, which was a little dizzy, and braced herself to set off immediately.
At this moment, Dark 1 walked out from the darkness.
“Madam, your subordinate will save 19. Madam needs to rest for a while.”
“There’s no need. You’d better serve your master well in case he has any missions that he needs you to carry out and you can’t find him.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s words did not leave any face. He secretly understood that Shen Xiaoxiao was definitely blaming him in her heart, including the fact that he was the one who made the decision to take Da Bao away. However, he did not know that Shen Xiaoxiao was actually extremely satisfied.
The two children were now being protected in secret together. This was more important than anything else. Everything that Shen Xiaoxiao did was for the children, to protect the children, to protect their things… However, many people did not like them and wanted to destroy this peace. The person in black, Grandma Lin, Gu Yuehua, Liu Yufei, and many others, including Yan Kuan, were all like this.
From the moment she knew that a woman could only rely on herself until now, she understood more and more that the only person in this world who could protect the children and herself. Yan Kuan? Could she still believe it? This man’s thoughts were too heavy.
Would Dark 1 waver because of Shen Xiaoxiao’s few words? Of course not. Seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao ignored him, he took the lead and walked towards the base. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at his back and thought for a long time. Since he insisted on helping, then it was a waste not to use him… Maybe 19 would be very happy to see him too?
Shen Xiaoxiao saw the direction that Dark 1 had walked in and turned around to walk towards the other side. She still had one more thing to deal with. She had said before that no one could take away what belonged to her, no one.
“Boss must be seriously injured. He can’t even exchange blows with us. He looks even weaker than a woman.”
“Alright, it’s already good that Boss can come back. You’ve recovered. If you want to exchange blows again, then do so. Are you afraid that no one will be able to deal with you?”
“That’s right, Huo Gui. Listen to Feng Hao. Well, if you really want to exchange a few blows with someone, Feng Hao, keep him company and train with him. Lei Lie, Let’s go hunt some wild animals. He’s so upset. After we settle the matters here, we’ll leave. China is too oppressive. We have to be careful in everything we do.”
“Alright, I’ll keep him company and train with him. The two of you, hurry back.”
Lei Lie followed Yun Qi out and asked him, “Why are you avoiding them?”
Yun Qi knew that Lei Lie was smart. Although he was impulsive, he was extremely quick-witted. It was impossible for him not to know what he meant.
“The two of them can be said to have grown up with Boss. Boss talks about them the most. They trust Boss very much, but I still feel that something is wrong.”
“You think so too? I thought I was thinking too much. Only the four of us know about this. Let’s not talk about anything else. Where is Dark 1? You and I both saw it back then. Although Dark 1 changed his appearance, he followed Long Xi. I think there’s something wrong with this.”
“Do you trust Sister-in-law?”
Hearing Yun Qi’s question, Lei Lie turned around and looked around. Then, he said to Yun Qi, “I’m not afraid of you getting angry, but I do. In fact, I trust Sister-in-law more than the boss who came back. By asking me this, you actually trust her more, right?”
Yun Qi looked at Lei Lie with a rare smile. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a familiar female voice. The two of them looked up at the same time, and Shen Xiaoxiao jumped down from the tree above their heads.
“It seems that I’m not that unwelcome. At least there are two people who believe in me.”
“Sister-in-law.”
“Sister-in-law.”
Yun Qi and Lei Lie did not expect to see her here. They were extremely happy, especially when she said that. It meant that there must be something that they did not know.
“Do you recognize this thing? Now, as the mistress of the Dark Empire, I order the two of you to immediately leave the country and quickly take back half of the Dark Empire’s forces under your banner. Wait for my order.”
The two of them did not expect that Shen Xiaoxiao would give them such an order when she appeared. She even sent out the Obsidian Star to take away half of the Dark Empire’s forces. Did something really happen?
However, no matter what happened, they would obey her orders, especially the orders of the true matriarch of the Dark Empire. They would not be unwilling to do so.
“Yes, sir.”
