Chapter 777: Chapter 777_1

The Underground Emperor had rushed his team here upon receiving an anonymous distress letter.

However, he was obviously not as prepared as Nangong Que was for the rescue operation.

Looking at the Underground Emperor’s menacing demeanor, Linxi feverishly questioned Luo Qi, "Why is the Underground Emperor here, too?"

Luo Qi’s expression was grim, "I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet. Yan Ling, who was disguised as Wesley, is the Divine Doctor that the Underground Emperor has been trying to find!"

"Why didn’t you tell me about this important matter earlier?"

As Linxi fumed, Luo Qi remained silent.

It wasn’t because he wouldn’t speak, but because she never gave him an opportunity to do so.

Although furious, Linxi recognized that there was no use in squabbling at the moment.

Regaining her composure, she addressed the Underground Emperor, "You have been tricked! That so-called Wesley is a fraud! She is a woman from Z Country named Yan Ling who’s playing pretend!"

Linxi was hoping to discourage the Underground Emperor by unveiling Yan Ling’s deception, to make him feel betrayed and thus withdraw his forces.

But the Underground Emperor seemed unfazed by her revelation. "Linxi, do you think I’m a pushover? I know who has saved my life. I don’t care what name she goes by, or whether she is a man or a woman! She saved my life, she is my lifesaver!"

"Linxi, If Wesley is indeed in danger, even if it meant using all the forces of the Underground Kingdom, I’ll have the Dark Empire eradicated from Sicily!"

Upon hearing these words, Linxi hovered somewhere between shock and disbelief.

After what seemed ages, she clenched her fists in anger and demanded, "Have you all gone mad? She’s nothing more than a commoner with some medical skills, not worthy of your grand efforts!"

Upon hearing her words, Nangong Que was the first to lose his patience.

"A commoner of meager status? So, the future heir to the Dongfang family and my sister Nangong Que is looked down upon like this! It seems we’ve been too low-profile!"

Linxi’s face was still indifferent after hearing his words.

Heir to the Dongfang family? She hadn’t even heard of it, what could be so great about it?

But Luo Qi was visibly disturbed at the mention of the Dongfang and Nangong surnames.

Carefully, he asked, "When you speak of the Dongfang and Nangong families, do you mean those of the Four Ancient Great families on Yastatu Island?"

Nangong Que snorted in a haughty manner, "Are there any other Dongfang and Nangong families around the world?"

Luo Qi was momentarily stunned.

But Nangong Que did not plan to let him off easily and continued to ridicule him, "So do you think the combined strength of our two families is enough to topple the Dark Empire?"

Luo Qi turned pale as a sheet, unlike Linxi who seemed entirely oblivious to the danger and took advantage of Luo Qi’s daze to push him aside.

With Luo Qi sprawled on the floor, Linxi looked at him with disdain, "Get up, don’t you realize you’re making a fool of yourself?"

Luo Qi wiped his face, the gravity of the situation dragging him down to the depths of despair.

He never imagined they would cross paths with such troublesome figures!

The Four Ancient Great Families of Yastatu Island were not entities the Dark Empire could mess with!

It was said that since the mid-nineteenth century, the global economy’s lifeblood was controlled by these families.

Although they had secluded themselves on Yastatu Island in the twentieth century due to certain reasons, they still cultivated and dispatched countless talents to the outside world every year.

These talents were spread across the globe, secretly controlling the world’s economy, military, and energy resources.

There’s a saying he once heard, "You can cross anyone, just not the people of the Four Ancient Great Families."

Because they were the puppet masters of this world!

Any formidable force was nothing compared to them!

If all of this was true, then it wouldn’t be just about toppling the Dark Empire. They could wipe out Sicily with ease.

Luo Qi was filled with regret.

If he had known about Yan Ling’s extraordinary identity earlier,

He certainly wouldn’t have allowed Linxi to act recklessly.

What was he supposed to do now?

Could he still protect Linxi?
