Free Web NovelChapter 2416: Chapter 2480: Wielding the Sword, Slaying All Before Me
The intruders had different skin colors and used various means. Their faces revealed that they came from different continents. Murong Yuanqing was slightly injured during the fight but not seriously. Instead of rushing to treat his wound, he assigned personnel to immediately remove the deceased for identification and investigation. It was impossible for so many foreigners to enter Huaxia without a sound.
Yao Lingfu walked over and said, "Murong, there’s an acquaintance here, but they’re dead!"
"An acquaintance?"
"Yes, someone from the European Church, Bishop Benjamin. I didn’t expect him to be part of Noah’s Ark."
"Benjamin?" Murong Yuanqing repeated the name, trying to grasp its significance. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized, "So it was him!"
"So we..."
"Gather evidence and issue a formal query to the Church. If they don’t provide an explanation, we’ll regard them as Noah’s Ark accomplices. At that point, Huaxia and the United States will consider them enemies!"
Despite Murong Yuanqing’s words, he felt uneasy. The Church had substantial influence in the Western world, particularly in Europe, and even held some power in Huaxia. If the Church were to collaborate with Noah’s Ark Organization, it wouldn’t bode well for them.
Therefore, he needed to confirm their involvement because if the Church were involved, the conflict could escalate significantly.
Confirming Benjamin’s identity was only part of the process. Soon after, several other identities were confirmed, including two Huaxia People from Xinjiang—two cultivators who were locally famous for their attainments, yet they were involved in the attack on the Li family.
People from multiple continents were implicated, and Murong Yuanqing quickly dispatched personnel to investigate them. In front of national machinery, some results came quickly: Most of these people had arrived in Huaxia recently, within the past three days.
Then they gathered in one place to plan an attack on the Li family. Murong Yuanqing and others had arrived at the Li family several days earlier and didn’t let any information slip. Thus, the attackers believed the Li household wasn’t well-protected, aiming to attack the Li family and kill Li Yifei’s wife and children.
The saying "disaster shouldn’t involve family" didn’t apply to Noah’s Ark people. Li Yifei had destroyed two of their bases and killed four powerful Sacred Beast warriors, making him absolutely their enemy—one to be dealt with extremely harshly and ruthlessly...
Fortunately, Murong Yuanqing and others were there to protect the family. With such experts in place, the Li family could sleep peacefully. However, upon hearing the news, Li Yifei broke out in a cold sweat. If Murong Yuanqing and the others hadn’t been at the Li family, then... Just the thought of all his family members possibly being slaughtered ignited anger in Li Yifei’s heart, and he tightened his grip on his phone until his hand turned white.
After calming his emotions, Li Yifei said, "Elder, I’m entrusting you with the matters at home. With you there, I won’t worry about the family’s safety!"
"As long as I’m here, no one can harm your family," Murong Yuanqing firmly replied.
On the other end of the line, Li Yifei nodded forcefully, saying, "Alright."
Once the call ended, Li Yifei looked at the Holy Maiden, gave a faint smile, and she gently held his hand. Although nothing seemed particularly dangerous today, that was thanks to the presence of Murong Yuanqing and others. Without them, or if their defenses were weaker, the situation might have been different. Family was Li Yifei’s vital point and vulnerability, and although he could be cold-blooded when dealing with enemies, his family elicited his warmth and deepest concerns. But Noah’s Ark people chose to attack his family, targeting them out of resentment toward him—a fact Li Yifei couldn’t accept.
"Yifei, I won’t offer words of comfort, but I’ll say one thing..." The Holy Maiden held Li Yifei’s hand and said, "Let’s turn this place upside down this time. If Noah’s Ark Organization isn’t eradicated, future troubles will be endless, especially for you!"
Li Yifei lightly nodded and said, "Of course it must be eliminated, no rest until it’s done!"
The Holy Maiden said, "Calm your emotions and call Mengxin and the others. With such incidents happening at home, they need your comfort too."
Li Yifei responded with an affirmative sound and dialed Su Mengxin’s number. The phone rang for a moment before being answered, and a soft voice came through, instantly recognizable as Su Yiyi, whom he affectionately called wife.
"Husband..."
"About today... Some things happened today. Are you guys okay?" Faced with his family, Li Yifei felt guilty, as he’d always felt he owed them. Despite everything, they frequently faced danger because of him.
Su Yiyi paused for a moment and said, "Husband, we’re all fine. Elder Murong and the others are helping us and won’t let anything happen. Husband, do what you need to outside. I... and the sisters have strength, and we can take care of ourselves!"
Contrary to what some might think, Su Yiyi isn’t a delicate or timid personality. Instead, she is strong and resilient, with a streak of stubbornness. Knowing the importance of not adding pressure on Li Yifei, she quickly spoke reassuringly.
Li Yifei smiled faintly and responded, "I know, protect yourselves first. Sorry for all you’ve had to endure lately. Once I resolve this..."
"Is it husband calling?" came Su Mengxin’s voice through the phone just then. Su Yiyi replied with an affirmative before adding, "Yes, husband’s calling." frёeωebɳovel.com
"You chat first. I’ll be right back after ironing the children’s clothes—I forgot to iron them after washing yesterday," Su Mengxin spoke with a relaxed tone, sounding like everything was normal. But Li Yifei understood that she rarely had to iron clothes herself, a subtle message that things at the Li family were calm, even following a terrifying ordeal where highly skilled people targeted them...
The women at home, at least the two he’d heard on the call, seemed emotionally stable. Through their behavior, they were supporting Li Yifei so he could focus on his tasks outside.
Similarly, from Su Mengxin’s perspective, considering the situation at home, their peaceful homeland was still vulnerable to malicious attacks, emphasizing Li Yifei’s risks abroad. They were concerned, yet they couldn’t burden him further or cause distraction.
Su Mengxin’s message, conveyed indirectly by saying she’d iron clothes, was clear. Though spoken in few words, it communicated support and understanding, filling Li Yifei with a warm feeling.
Such wives are truly what a husband desires. Li Yifei’s eyes grew warm, and he took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions. He recalled news of a narcotics officer whose family was cruelly murdered by drug dealers due to system errors. As he read the news back then, anger was his primary emotion. But now, he felt empathy, especially after recent events, filling him with guilt toward his family.
Different perspectives offer varied interpretations of family and country matters. Li Yifei wanted to balance both, yet reality often made this challenging. Fortunately, nothing bad happened at home, and Murong Yuanqing and his team were present, or else...
If his wife and children were harmed, Li Yifei might have lost control, gone insane, and resorted to extremes.
Su Yiyi, hearing the heavy breathing over the phone, eventually said, "Husband, take care and don’t bear psychological burdens. Everything’s fine at home, and we’re managing well."
"Thank you for everything. No need to worry about me here. I’ll complete the task soon and return home to accompany you all," Li Yifei replied.
"Alright!" Su Yiyi responded.
Next, it was Su Mengxin’s turn to talk, starting with their son calling out, "Dad," Li Yifei immediately responded, hearing his son continue, "Take care, stay safe, we’re waiting for you."
Unbeknownst to him, his son had apparently been practicing these words, now spoken fluidly, causing Li Yifei’s body to tremble. The Holy Maiden beside him heard it too, pressing her lips softly together and nodding. Over the phone, she understood the reactions of the Li family women, realizing why Li Yifei loved them dearly—they truly were remarkable.
Su Mengxin just exchanged a few words with Li Yifei, yet those words filled him with immense confidence. She said, "When you wield the sword to fight, I’ll play the music to remain by your side through ups and downs."
Suddenly feeling his throat tighten, Li Yifei was simultaneously invigorated, his body beginning to tremble slightly. Her words represented commitment and shared struggles; because of her love for him, deciding early on to face any challenges together meant enduring both joys and sorrows, ultimately emphasizing her desire to always be with him. frёewebηovel.cѳm
When you fight on the front lines, focus solely on the battle, and worry not for the affairs behind!
Those sixteen words gave Li Yifei boundless strength, raising his spirits as all pervasive negative feelings fell away. The Holy Maiden beside him could sense his emotional shift, as his previously accumulated tension vanished completely, transforming him into a radiant presence that exuded confidence and clarity.
Indeed, his women were worthy of respect, and the Holy Maiden felt nothing but admiration.
