Chapter 787: Chapter 787 - 1

"Miss Selena!"

A subordinate from the Underground Emperor’s side approached her.

Selena recognized this person.

He had been at the Underground Emperor’s side during the attempt to raid their mansion.

Perhaps he was the Underground Emperor’s personal guard.

"The Underground Emperor predicted you may come and reserved a path for you," he stated and then gestured Selena to follow him.

Selena now understood why her path had been so smooth, it was due to the arrangements of the Underground Emperor.

Under his guidance, Selena soon entered the underground passage.

Despite her suspicions, the sight of the massive emergency operations happening underground still sent a little shock to her senses.

The Underground Emperor’s supply team was working tirelessly, transporting obstructions away from the path.

Another team was handling the removal of the debris, speeding up the excavation efforts.

When Selena saw the Underground Emperor, he was resting on a side.

Walking there, Selena noticed that the surrounding areas were reinforced to prevent additional collapse.

She saw several bodies being carried away from her.

Worried about Wesley, she overcame her fear and checked the bodies herself.

Fortunately, none of them was Wesley.

"Selena, you can’t be of any help by going in there now, it’s better we discuss our cooperation instead!"

The Underground Emperor’s man had blocked Selena, proposing cooperation right off the bat.

Unable to move, Selena asked coldly, "Mr. Underground Emperor, what does the Leo Family have that would be of interest to you now?"

"True enough. But I’ve heard that Wesley joined the Dark Empire just to protect your family! With Wesley out of the picture, I suppose that agreement is also off the table. Aren’t you afraid that the Dark Empire will start causing trouble for your family?"

"I’m not! If Wesley was really killed by them, the Leo Family will be enemies with the Dark Empire!"

Determination shone in Selena’s eyes.

Wesley had helped her so much, and if she had no chance to repay him,

Even at the cost of the family’s potential ruin, she would help her seek vengeance!

"Well said, I’ve had enough of this Dark Empire too! I’ve always wanted to get rid of them, and now with King out of commission, and with Luo Qi dead and Linxi insane, it’s my window of opportunity. Why don’t you join me?! Our goals are the same, to avenge Wesley, and surely in doing so, you wouldn’t miss out on the benefits. What do you say?"

"I don’t have the energy for that! I don’t believe Wesley is dead." Selena declined the Underground Emperor’s offer.

Her refusal displeased the Underground Emperor, "You should think it over, the Leo Family might have an old presence in Sicily, but times have changed. It was Wesley who protected your family from the Dark Empire, without him, even your safety can’t be guaranteed, and how are you going to fight the Dark Empire?"

"That’s my business!"

After speaking, Selena made to leave.

Seeing her apparent ingratitude, the Underground Emperor jeered, "If I didn’t value Wesley’s vow to protect the Leo Family, I could’ve destroyed your family now!"

Instead of getting angry, Selena told the Underground Emperor, "Despite the Leo Family’s decline, we still have dignity. And Wesley always wanted me to uphold this dignity! If I choose to rely on the Underground Emperor now, aren’t I betraying her expectations? If you truly respect her as the person who saved your life, you wouldn’t dishonor her like that!"

The Underground Emperor was left feeling wronged.

He only spoke as he did to spur Selena into agreeing to cooperate with him.

Wesley was dead!

He was no longer able to repay his debts!

The only way was to assist the people she had wanted to help.

Why was it so difficult to accomplish such a simple wish?
