Chapter 563: Chapter 556: Kings Gather at Heavenly Gate

"Okay, I can accompany you to find your father, but you need to calm down a bit now. If he’s not dead, we will definitely find him. Please be rational. What would he think if he saw you like this right now? Can you understand how he feels? And even if you don’t care about yourself, do you really want to hurt the people who care about you?"

"Right, my father isn’t dead, he definitely isn’t. I know for sure that he is still alive. Lin Zifeng, will you take me to find him? Take me to find my father, I know he must not be dead, I have to find him. I have only one father; I can’t lose him, I really can’t lose him."

By the end, Nangong Bing’s eyes, already reddened from crying, once again filled with tears, and she clung tightly to the man’s waist, weeping uncontrollably. Even though she had been trying very hard to control her emotions, the tears from her eyelids still could not help but slide down. As her emotional outburst grew stronger, even Lin Zifeng could feel his chest thoroughly soaked with her tears. She was a woman who never knew how to vent to others, preferring to shoulder everything on her own silently. And now, the mysterious loss of Nangong Shui had completely broken the dam within Nangong Bing’s heart.

"It’s okay, even if the sky falls down, I will hold it up for you." Lin Zifeng’s heart was in agony, he couldn’t bear to see the woman next to him cry. This intangible hurt was even more painful than if he were beaten up.

By nighttime, Nangong Bing seemed to have cried herself out, and her mind had cleared up a lot.

In the hotel arranged by the embassy, she sat alone, staring blankly out into the darkness beyond the window.

Moments from her childhood, when the family gathered together happily chatting and laughing, would pop up uncontrollably in her mind, but now... As time passed, Nangong Bing had grown up and come to understand many things. However, it was affection that made this very tender-hearted woman feel fearful. She was scared of one day losing everyone around her, fearful of all her relatives. On the evening Nangong Shui went back to Zhonghai City, he had said some parting words to her, and she had been crying inconsolably that night.

Looking out at the lonely night through the window, she slowly walked up to the window, observing the brightly twinkling stars in the sky, her beautiful and fair face bearing nothing but melancholy.

"Father, I know you’re definitely not dead, I will find you," whispered Nangong Bing as tears once again slipped down uncontrollably, her beautiful eyes shut tight, not daring to imagine that outcome.

That evening, Lin Zifeng came several times, silently keeping watch outside her room, never going in to disturb her.

The members of the Shadow Group had dispersed around the embassy within a hundred meters to quietly wait for them since their arrival in Brazil. Lin Zifeng hadn’t told her his true identity, really not wanting to let Nangong Bing know at a time like this, as it would cause her even more harm.

After all, his identity was indeed too special, and there were things that needed to remain hidden.

The night was silent, and Lin Zifeng secretly sneaked into the room to see if she had fallen asleep, then continued to keep watch alone in the hotel.

...

On the edge of the Amazon Rainforest, in the midst of the night accompanied by the roaring of wild beasts, the entire rainforest seemed extremely eerie and gloomy, with large-eared monkeys occasionally leaping from one tree to another.

"Hiss—"

At that moment, hissing noises came from the jungle.

Along the uneven green grassland, a black python as thick as a human body slowly slithered out of the forest.

Suddenly, just as a large-eared monkey leaped from one tree to another, the python abruptly reared up, its fierce and terrifying maw instantly clamping down on the monkey’s head!

"Ah gu, ah gu—"

The large-eared monkey struggled desperately, emitting a spine-chilling scream.

But the python quickly gobbled up the big-eared monkey with its gaping maw.

The massive body of the python, covered in fearsome scales, shimmered with a crystal-clear gloss in the moonlight that filtered through the leaves.

Soon, the python once again submerged itself into the pitch-dark jungle.

In this primeval rainforest, pythons of this size were quite common. American biological explorers had once seen near the outskirts of the Amazon Rainforest a snake as thick as half a meter strangle a black-spotted tiger to death! Using a nearby tree, the snake coiled around the tiger’s body and crushed it against the tree, ultimately the snake was bitten to death by the tiger, but the terrifying constricting force of the snake turned the tiger’s body into a lump of flesh.

Though the snake’s body seemed weak, once anything was caught in its coils, the strength of its body was far beyond imagination.

The nights in the rainforest were particularly horrifying; creatures that were lively just one second could be devoured by other formidable beings the very next.

Back then, Lin Zifeng was the only one to walk out of the rainforest alive. He was well aware of its horrors. Leading the entire Shadow Group this time, he had a foreboding feeling that the odds were more deadly than hopeful...

On a treehouse at the edge of the rainforest, woven from black ancient vines, the firelight was clear and bright, with numerous other treehouses of various sizes erected all around, surrounded by numerous advanced surveillance devices.

As one of the world’s top four, the Heaven Gate Mercenary Group was accustomed to this kind of rainforest warfare, where these individuals, living for the sake of killing, were used to the possibility of death at any moment.

On the treehouse, beneath the transparent light, three fully armed, mighty men with camouflage paint on their faces were sharing the prey they had caught that day.

One, puffing on native yellow tobacco, cursed and said, "Damn it, what a hellish place this is. I’m never coming back here again for a mission. I’ve got mosquito bites all over, and at this rate, I’m nearly getting eaten alive by them."

"Devil, just endure it. Once this mission is over, you won’t have to come out here again. Our status will skyrocket, and we won’t have to do such dirty killing work anymore," another said, trying to comfort him.

The man with oil-painted face, high nose bridge, and blue eyes shrugged his shoulders and spoke in fluent English to persuade his companion.

"Netherworld King, I don’t understand why we have to wait this out. Why not just kill him directly? He’s already in Brazil. It’d be easy for us to kill him here. Why must we lure him over?" said the youth known as the Devil disdainfully.

No matter how powerful Death God is, this is Brazil. K-5 Netherworld King, K-6 Tyrannosaurus, K-7 Devil—aren’t the three kings of Heaven Gate more than capable of dealing with him?

Clearly, the man they referred to as Netherworld King held the most power among them.

The man, with his handsome features, silently ate the raw snake meat they had just hunted.

After a while, once he finished eating, he wiped his mouth and slowly drew out a dirt-yellow cigarette, lighting it up.

His profound gaze held an inscrutable sharpness.

Narrowing his eyes, the man slowly began to speak, "Do you guys know the secret of the Greek Magic Bracelet?"
