Triplets: Daddy, Please Pamper Us Lightly
Chapter 788_1

Chapter 788: Chapter 788_1

Selena wasn’t aware of what the Underground Emperor was really thinking.

After saying that, she headed directly towards the depths of the excavation tunnel.

In no time, she found Qi Yunjue at the forefront of the rescue line.

Seeing him dust-covered, Selena’s heart trembled.

She advanced and incredulously asked, "King, Is it true that Wesley is dead?"

The man remained silent, shifting rubble as if he hadn’t heard her.

"Don’t remain silent, tell me that Wesley is alive, right?"

Selena refused to believe that her benefactor had really died. She stubbornly wanted a reassuring answer.

Raging Bull, who was watching from the side, couldn’t stand it, stepped forward and stopped her.

"My boss is already devastated right now. Please don’t add salt to his wounds!"

"No! I must ask him. Isn’t he the King? Isn’t he the strongest man in the Dark Empire? Didn’t he promise to forever protect her and prevent her from getting hurt? How much time has passed since then, and why did something happen to Wesley? I think he is so incompetent that he led Wesley to this!"

When Selena was saying these things, there was an apparent grudge in her heart.

How could a man account for being a man if he couldn’t even protect his beloved woman?

Qi Yunjue paused in his actions and raised the corner of his mouth into a grimace of despair, "You’re right, it is indeed because of me that she got involved."

"Well, congratulations! You finally admit your incompetence! Now that you know that you have let down my sister, get out of here, will you?"

Nangong Que, seeing Qi Yunjue admitting that he got Yan Ling into trouble, was instantly Gregarious and blunt and showed him no mercy.

He was eager to get back to his cousin as quickly as possible!

If this man is still lingering around, wouldn’t he have to stay here with him too?

But Qi Yunjue turned a deaf ear and continued to dig.

"Are you deaf or shameless? I’ve said so much, aren’t you leaving?"

"I won’t go anywhere until I find her."

Qi Yunjue continued to excavate the ruins, speaking dispassionately.

"You! Forget it, I don’t want to bother with you! Anyway, whether she is found or not, she doesn’t belong to you, we’re her family!"

Nangong Que couldn’t vent his anger. His patience seemed insufficient when dealing with a man like this.

"I’ll help you."

Even though Selena blamed Qi Yunjue for not taking good care of Yan Ling, she ultimately decided to help him.

She knew how much Yan Ling liked this man!

She wanted to see Yan Ling come out safe and sound.

Nangong Que scratched his face, now speechless.

One was already troublesome enough, but now another one arrived.

It looked like he would have to spend quite a while here with them.

...

The rescue operation at the laboratory ruins was still in full swing.

The Dark Empire’s hidden guards were forced to bide their time in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to act.

While some of them knew what had happened, others were completely baffled.

Just then a man, escorted by two advanced superpower users, approached them.

The hidden guards grouped together, assuming that trouble had finally reached their doorstep.

Each one braced themselves, ready for battle.

But it seemed the newcomer had no intention of start a fight with them— he simply threw a person in front of them, and then left coolly.

"Adam? How did you turn into this?"

Someone recognized the identity of the man thrown on the ground and cried out in surprise.

The squad leaders immediately rushed over to help him up.

Upon seeing Adam’s face, someone hastily threw some water on him to revive him.

"Don’t kill me, please! I don’t want to die!"

The fear-stricken Adam opened his eyes and his first words were a plea for mercy ...

"Adam, what happened to you, how did you turn into such a coward?"

A squad leader slapped Adam’s shoulder in disbelief.

Adam saw the familiar face and finally calmed down.

After confirming that he was still alive, Adam said with lingering fear, "Those superpower users are truly horrible!"

"You’re too cowardly! Didn’t we catch a few of them before? How horrifying could they get?"

"No! They’re way out of the league of those useless ones from the Owl Organization! I’m afraid we’ve messed with the wrong people this time."

Adam’s legs were shaking just thinking about what happened.

The others didn’t think Adam was lying, so they asked him what had happened.

It was just Adam’s bad luck.

After he and Yan Ling parted ways, Yan Ling went directly to the third basement floor to find Qi Yunjue.

Adam had initially planned on fleeing, but because of his feelings for Linxi, he turned back.

Unexpectedly, he happened to run into Luo Qi and Linxi coming out of the advanced tunnel.

As soon as Linxi saw him, she slapped him and cursed him for not killing Wesley.

It was then that he found out that the person disguised as Claire was actually Wesley.

Luo Qi and Linxi knew that Qi Yunjue was still underneath, so they wanted to go down there with Scorpion and Mole to look for him.

Then Adam’s thinking changed a bit. He was always fond of Linxi, but she treated him like garbage, never paying any attention to him.

Adam’s inferiority complex led him to think about the self-destruct device in the office.

To prove that he wasn’t useless and wanted to show the woman who publicly humiliated him who the real man was—

He pressed the button for that self-destruct device.

This was the reason for the series of explosions that occurred later.

But of course, Adam would never reveal these truths to anyone.

He conveniently told his version of the event: "I don’t know the rest! I was carrying out Miss Linxi’s orders outside the Dark Empire, but on the way, I encountered these advanced superpower users. They set up an ambush outside, preventing anyone from freely entering or leaving the Dark Empire."

"Now we’re really in trouble! If we can’t leave, won’t we have no chance to fight when they come for us?"

"If only squad leader Luo Qi and Claire were here! It was Claire who gave us orders to guard outside the laboratory. If it wasn’t for her, we would probably all be dead inside. I don’t know what happened to Claire now."

A squad leader couldn’t help but mumble.

Everyone else who was rescued by Claire also nodded their head, hoping that Claire was alright.

But to Adam, there was irony in their words.

He wondered what they would think if they knew that the person who had saved them, Claire, was the same person they had cursed most mercilessly, Wesley?

What would they feel?

But he was also curious.

He didn’t understand why Wesley, a person of such a high status, chose to stay in the Dark Empire and submit to being a junior squad leader?

The key point was, he was hostile to him all along, but not only did Wesley not kill him, He even let him go.

This didn’t make sense at all!

If possible, Adam really wanted to confront Wesley himself, to find out what his motives were for everything he did.

But then again, he realized that his thinking was somewhat absurd.

After triggering the self-destruct program, even those with superpowers would have a hard time escaping.

Wesley must have been blown to pieces by now!

He probably wouldn’t get a chance to ask Wesley those questions in this lifetime!
