Ye Shikai is a man of deep sentiment, and for Nightmare who has shared life and death with him, he would not trade a brother’s life for a successful collaboration.

Had he known it would bring such trouble, he definitely would not have let Su Qingyu come to Hong Kong in the first place, thus avoiding a string of troubles.

However, what Ye Shikai didn’t realize was that Nightmare’s encounter with the Tomb Spirit Organization was both coincidental and inevitable.

“By the way, why did your father suddenly postpone the negotiation date?

Is it really because he’s feeling unwell?” Ye Shikai asked curiously.

“This… I don’t know.

But my father always keeps his operations confidential, sometimes even I don’t know what he will do.” Wu Yu shook his head.

Ye Shikai had heard about Wu Liang, the Family Head of the Wu Family and owner of the largest shares in Wu Group, described by Luo Shiqi as having a peculiar temper and resolute decisions, thus having a final say both in the Wu Family and Wu Group.

“Alright then, I won’t disturb Mr.

Wu’s rest any longer.

I’ll take my leave now.” After chatting intermittently for a while, Ye Shikai left the hospital room, and also took away that hand halberd.

Holding this weapon, Ye Shikai could almost feel how tough it was for Nightmare and Refining Mo during their fight.

In Netherworld Palace, in terms of strength, apart from Ye Shikai, it was Nightmare, but now he was captured, showing that Refining Mo’s strength has greatly improved.

A few years ago, they were evenly matched, but now the situation is quite different.

The most important thing for Ye Shikai now is to find out where Nightmare is being held, and to rescue him as soon as possible.

“Wuu wuu, you finally came.” At this moment, a figure flashed from the side and directly threw herself into Ye Shikai’s arms, staring at the woman who had turned into a tearful figure in front of him, Ye Shikai didn’t know how to console her.

“Ailina, get down first.” Ye Shikai set Ailina down.

Not only was she anxious, but the entirety of Netherworld Palace was as well.

The Tomb Spirit Organization, true to its name, was like ghosts lingering by the tombstone, endlessly haunting.

“Nightmare… he’s been captured.” Ailina calmed her emotions, speaking intermittently.

“I know, I’ll definitely rescue him.” Ye Shikai had Su Qingyu and the others return to Hill Hotel first, then ordered a team of Netherworld Palace’s elite to guard them 24/7, along with Wu Yu’s bodyguards, ensuring the safety of Tianya Group’s staff.

In a villa in Hong Kong.

This was the base chosen by the head of Netherworld Palace’s affairs in Hong Kong for Ye Shikai and his people.

Here, equipped with Netherworld Palace’s armed guards, Ye Shikai and others were sitting inside discussing something; the atmosphere looked very solemn.

Ye Shikai sat at one end of a rectangular table, flanked by Soul Destroyer, Demoness, Zi Yun, and Ailina.

Ye Shikai didn’t allow Luo Shiqi to come, letting her stay at Hill Hotel to discuss negotiation matters with Su Qingyu.

In terms of business experience, Luo Shiqi and Su Qingyu were evenly matched, but in terms of worldly wisdom, Luo Shiqi was much more seasoned.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have controlled the entire Underworld of Yanjing and managed the giant commercial ship of Luo Group.

However, when Luo Shiqi appeared in front of everyone, Ye Shikai could clearly feel a chill, obviously coming from the cold gazes of Su Qingyu and An Lan.

“My lord, what should we do now?” Soul Destroyer was the first to speak, breaking the heavy atmosphere.

Ye Shikai remained silent, staring straight ahead as if thinking about something.

“My lord, are we just going to sit here and wait for death?” Demoness also spoke up.

“Bang.” Suddenly, Ye Shikai punched the table, his piercing gaze scanned the people around him, and the room instantly quieted down; they knew that the Netherworld King was angry.

“Does arguing help anything?” Ye Shikai reprimanded.

Once everyone calmed down, he slowly said, “It was Refining Mo who took Nightmare away, he’s the leader of the Tomb Spirit Organization.”

“You know why Refining Mo chose to kidnap Nightmare instead of killing him?” Ye Shikai asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

“I think Refining Mo was hesitant to strike out of fear; he was worried that if he killed Nightmare, he would face a retaliatory strike from the Netherworld Palace.” At this point, the youngest, Zi Yun, who also looked the most tender, spoke up and then smiled at everyone.

“What Zi Yun said makes a lot of sense.

The Tomb Spirit Organization has been quietly reviving over these past few years.

Although it’s still an underground organization, on one hand, they’re quietly biding their time; on the other, they’re worried about being investigated by the Hong Kong government.” Ye Shikai gave Zi Yun a slight smile.

“Entrusted by the eldest son of the Wu Family, Wu Zijian, the first mission after Tomb Spirit Organization’s re-emergence was to assassinate Wu Yu.

Unfortunately, Wu Yu’s business partner was Su Qingyu, and her husband, who is also me, is the Netherworld King.

The two situations got entangled together,” Ye Shikai analyzed from beginning to end.

It was undeniable, had Wu Yu not coincidentally sought cooperation with Su Qingyu, this time he would undoubtedly have been doomed.

Additionally, Ye Shikai inwardly sighed at Refining Mo’s audacity to attempt assassinating the second young master of the prominent Wu Family in Hong Kong, a direct lineage relative; his death would certainly cause a huge uproar.

“I reckon Refining Mo wouldn’t dare to harm a hair on Nightmare, so you all can rest easy for now,” Ye Shikai comforted everyone, who were currently clueless about Nightmare’s whereabouts and making a fuss here needlessly.

…

Hong Kong, a hidden basement.

“I ordered some takeout for you, you must be hungry,” Illusion Fox said, holding a bowl of stir-fried noodles, sitting beside the bed and looking at Nightmare.

“I’m not hungry,” Nightmare turned his head away, refusing to look at the woman in front of him.

“Have a little, you can’t use your Inner Strength now and you’re just an ordinary person, how can you not be hungry?” Illusion Fox said cheerfully, then picked up some noodles with chopsticks and held them to Nightmare’s mouth.

“Let me feed you, open up.”

Nightmare snorted coldly, stubbornly refusing to eat, but eventually, under Illusion Fox’s persistent coaxing, he took a bite and slowly finished the whole bowl of noodles.

“Illusion Fox, you’re not like Refining Mo, come with me.

I believe Lord Netherworld King won’t mind your background,” Nightmare said softly, his tone sincere.

“That’s impossible, Nightmare.

Aren’t you usually very calm?

Did you not think about why Refining Mo, despite knowing our relationship, still felt at ease letting me detain you?” Illusion Fox sneered coldly, speaking indifferently.

“Every move within the organization is under his control, especially since that incident a few years ago,” Illusion Fox said, lowering her head, her voice became very soft.

“My hands, too, are stained with countless blood,” Illusion Fox seemed to be muttering to herself.

“Nightmare, I suddenly regret, why didn’t I listen to you back then.”
