The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 366 - 366 366 The Outcast

366: Chapter 366: The Outcast 366: Chapter 366: The Outcast “Why, haven’t I already agreed to your request?

Why do you still do this?” Nightmare shouted loudly, large droplets of sweat sliding down his forehead.

Surviving from Refining Mo’s Destroying Heaven and Earth was already a miracle.

Now, he was able to stand and question Illusion Fox, purely supported by sheer willpower.

“Do you know how worried I was for you at that time?” Each word from Nightmare pierced the heart.

Illusion Fox’s tears fell to the ground, her eyes brimming with tears, looking pitifully delicate.

Under normal circumstances, Nightmare would have embraced her to offer comfort, but now, he had no such intention.

When Illusion Fox was captured, Nightmare was indeed enraged, but upon hearing that recording, his first reaction was not anger but to burst out laughing, perhaps in self-mockery and sarcasm.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Nightmare was obsessed with finding Illusion Fox, only to discover in the end that it was all her orchestration.

Isn’t that ironic?

“I’m sorry…

I truly…

wasn’t certain.” Illusion Fox slowly crouched on the ground, hugging her knees and burying her head, unable to stop her grief.

She no longer possessed the demeanor of a cold-blooded assassin, instead resembling a forsaken, pitiful little girl.

“I heard their words, I really felt uncertain, so I…,” Illusion Fox sobbed, her tears flowing ceaselessly.

For some reason, Nightmare seemed to forget his physical pain and inner sorrow, slowly slumping to the ground, looking into Illusion Fox’s lifeless eyes where he saw nothing but helplessness and fear, undisguised.

“Them” — Nightmare had guessed who it was, but he hadn’t expected that Illusion Fox would stage a play with Refining Mo over this.

Although the people of Netherworld Palace only whispered about Illusion Fox privately, the sensitive woman noticed the difference.

Originally, Tomb Spirit Organization and Netherworld Palace were mortal enemies.

If not for Nightmare’s involvement, she probably would have been driven out long ago.

In recent days, her heart was tortured.

Though an assassin, she was also a proud woman.

In reality, the people of Netherworld Palace didn’t reject her much; only Demoness was somewhat wary.

But in her mind, this thought was infinitely magnified.

She was unwilling and did not dare to communicate with everyone, until eventually, she deeply believed that everyone kept their distance and did not want to be associated.

And the last straw was the argument this morning between Nightmare and Demoness.

Actually, Illusion Fox heard everything clearly inside, which finally made her decide to dial that number…

In summary, all of Illusion Fox’s actions were driven by her lack of security.

Nightmare hadn’t realized her feelings, and as a woman, guessing and assuming were her nature, ultimately leading to her mistrust towards Nightmare.

This kidnapping incident was self-directed by Illusion Fox, aiming to secure her place in Nightmare’s heart.

As for Refining Mo and Rong Yuan, these “temporary actors,” they were more than willing.

When Nightmare arrived alone at the park, Illusion Fox already had her answer.

But the outcome was tragic, as Illusion Fox, in trying to confirm her suspicions, almost cost Nightmare his life.

Fortunately, Ye Shikai intervened in time and saved them both.

“But why didn’t you talk to me about it?” Nightmare pondered for a while and finally understood Illusion Fox’s thoughts.

Gently, he embraced her and asked softly.

“But I didn’t know how to say it.” Illusion Fox raised her head, buried in Nightmare’s embrace, and cried out loud.

“I swear to you, from now on, no one will gossip anymore, do you believe…” Nightmare was speaking when suddenly everything went dark before his eyes, a wave of irresistible dizziness and fatigue surged from deep within his head, causing him to collapse into Illusion Fox’s arms.

“You, are you alright?” Illusion Fox was startled when Nightmare suddenly fainted; she extended her finger under his nose, sensing a faint breath and silently cursed the situation.

Nightmare’s injuries had not yet healed and the great emotional turmoil earlier was no wonder he had passed out.

Illusion Fox helped him up, channeled her Inner Strength to protect his heart channels, and swiftly took him to the hospital.

……….

Hong Kong park.

Ye Shikai fought alone against Refining Mo, while Rong Yuan unusually managed to hold back the Demoness and Soul Destroyer.

Ye Shikai knew that Rong Yuan was utilizing the energy of a mystical stone, which allowed him to face two opponents without falling behind.

Refining Mo constantly attacked with rapid strikes, yet Ye Shikai distinctly felt that his killer intent had faded significantly—from the bloodthirsty fury of the past to a semblance of mere posturing, and he wasn’t unleashing the stone’s energy.

Ye Shikai’s body had the effect of absorbing this energy, a fact both were aware of, hence Refining Mo was not rushing to use his Big Move.

“Inner God Scripture.”

“Breaking Sky Fist.” Ye Shikai circulated his Inner Strength and threw a punch into the air, hitting Refining Mo’s blade forcefully and easily knocking him back.

Refining Mo staggered a few steps before he could steady himself.

Today, Refining Mo seemed off his game, even his eye contact appeared tentative, evidently fearing something.

Ye Shikai suddenly remembered that he had just been in a fierce battle with Nightmare, surely depleting a lot of Inner Strength and now he was worn out from managing.

Strike him while he’s down.

Ye Shikai quickly closed in; he would not let go of anyone who harmed his brother.

Having long harbored the desire to eliminate Refining Mo, he unleashed a series of rapid punches using eighty percent of his Inner Strength, leaving Refining Mo in panic.

A heavy punch landed fiercely on his face.

“Damn it.” The face is a very vulnerable part, and this punch directly twisted Refining Mo’s face, but with the help of Regeneration Skills, his face soon recovered.

This only caused Ye Shikai more frustration as he struggled to seize this moment of weakness to kill him, which was truly aggravating.

Ye Shikai refused to believe in this dark magic.

Recently, he had discussed some knowledge about Regeneration Skills with Ji Qian.

Even the most ancient and bizarre spells must rely on Inner Strength or energy, and Regeneration Skills were no exception; they too required Refining Mo’s energy for use.

Now, being at his weakest, Ye Shikai, determined not to stop halfway, attacked frantically like a madman.

He grabbed Refining Mo’s blade, disregarding the cuts and the bleeding on his hand, adamantly attempting to land his fists on Refining Mo’s face.

“Bang.” After a flurry of punches, two bloody, hardened objects flew out from Refining Mo’s mouth—this part was exactly where the back row of teeth had been knocked out by Nightmare…
