The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 147 - 147 147 Belos

147: Chapter 147 Belos 147: Chapter 147 Belos As they spoke, a man had already pulled a dagger from his bosom and stabbed towards Ailina who was advancing forward.

Ailina, in a red long dress, seemed slender but reacted quite swiftly.

With a sidestep, she dodged the man’s attack.

Her speed had already reached the level of a cultivator, indicating these people were cultivators.

Ye Shikai immediately realized this and easily dodged the thrusts from two other men beside him, twisting their necks with a reverse grip and tossing the two bodies aside.

Ailina delivered a high whip kick, leaving a deep gash with the heel of her high heels on the last man’s neck, killing him.

“Are you all right?” Ye Shikai asked.

“Just a few insignificant thugs,” Ailina responded nonchalantly.

“The real trouble is still to come,” Ye Shikai said, lips slightly curving up and pointing behind them, where gradually, dozens of masked individuals appeared from an initially empty street corner, surrounding both Ye Shikai and Ailina, their blades tightly grasped and ready for battle.

Ailina flexed her joints, ready to take them on, but Ye Shikai raised his hand to stop her.

“No matter how many underlings there are, they are useless.

Let your backer come out directly.” Since this was a targeted action against Ye Shikai himself, the enemies would certainly be aware of Ye Shikai’s strength.

Thus, the initial three were merely coming to their deaths, a fact clear to Ye Shikai.

The real challenge was still ahead.

“Netherworld King Hades, you’re indeed straightforward.

We meet again.” Behind the crowd, a man walked forward—it was Jialong, once defeated by Ye Shikai.

“Defeated underling, how’s your hand holding up?” Ye Shikai asked with a sneer, clearly mocking Jialong for his previous overconfidence that resulted in a broken arm by Ye Shikai.

Ailina couldn’t help but laugh as well.

Mentioning this made Jialong’s face change instantly; if it weren’t for the disparity in strength, Jialong would’ve ripped Ye Shikai to shreds right there.

“Just enjoy your momentary verbal victory, for Lord Poseidon will arrive shortly.

Just surrender, Hades.” Jialong confidently drew a large sword from behind.

“Less talk, let’s fight,” Ye Shikai shot back, rolling his eyes and clenching his fists.

Jialong might not worry him, but Poseidon was a different story, being also a Main God with formidable strength.

If Poseidon were to appear, a great battle would undoubtedly ensue.

Ye Shikai scanned the secluded area—no pedestrians, likely a setup by Jialong to fight without restraint.

Facing Ye Shikai’s provocation, Jialong swung his great sword, but even before Ye Shikai could respond, Ailina stepped forward.

“Leave him to me,” she said, drawing a long whip from her waist and swinging it towards Jialong’s face.

The battle between the two cultivators was inconceivably fast, with Jialong’s attacks fierce and his sword whirling continuously; however, Ailina countered skillfully with her agile whip, breaking through his attacks multiple times, sparks flying when the whip struck the sword.

For a moment, the two were evenly matched.

Initially, Ye Shikai thought Ailina wouldn’t withstand the fight, given Jialong’s renown in the Underworld.

However, her performance across dozens of exchanges showed notable improvement during Ye Shikai’s absence.

After several more rounds, Jialong intensified his efforts, and Ailina started to falter, which Ye Shikai anticipated.

Ailina’s movements slowed, but her stubborn and competitive nature kept her from retreating, continuing her fierce battle with Jialong.

“What a tough little lady,” remarked someone as a gust swept through, alerting Ye Shikai to the presence of a powerful figure—Poseidon had arrived.

Indeed, as the smoke cleared, Poseidon’s robust frame was revealed, though unexpectedly, he was accompanied by another man of average height.

Upon seeing Poseidon and the man, Jialong and Ailina ceased fighting, with Ailina returning to Ye Shikai’s side.

Ye Shikai placed his hand on her back, quickly channeling his Inner Strength into her, providing a sense of security.

“Hades, long time no see,” Poseidon greeted Ye Shikai with a smile, his emanated Inner Strength clashing with Ye Shikai’s, initiating a silent struggle although they hadn’t yet physically engaged.

“Poseidon, have you come to Huaxia to kill me?” Ye Shikai asked, lightly holding Ailina.

“I heard you returned to Huaxia to live an ordinary human life.

It’s unbelievable that someone with the power of a god would choose such a mundane existence,” Poseidon remarked disdainfully.

Ye Shikai scoffed in return, tired of hearing about gods and lords as if they truly embodied divinity, masking their greedy aspirations with grand titles.

“Aren’t you also in Huaxia?

With all your might, why don’t you ascend to heaven?” Ye Shikai taunted, infuriating Poseidon, while the man beside him calmly observed Ye Shikai.

“Belos, you’re here too,” Ye Shikai addressed the man, noting that Belos was a top-tier assassin internationally, with a reputation even among the Main God Temples’ elite, though he was typically reclusive and unaffiliated with any Main God—this time, however, Poseidon had managed to bring him along.

While Belos may not match Poseidon in strength, he was certainly far superior to Jialong.

One Main God Poseidon, one Belos, one Jialong—Ye Shikai glanced at Ailina, thinking Poseidon had indeed made a significant move.

“Enough talk, the three of you come at me together; I alone am enough,” Ye Shikai challenged disdainfully.

Despite the formidable lineup, engaging in battle would be challenging, yet he didn’t plan to involve Ailina, preferring to confront the trio alone.
