The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

Ye Shikai gave a faint smile, casting a confident glance at Ji Qian, leaving her puzzled about what assurance Ye Shikai had that Zeus would not attack with full force.

"What's the matter, not attacking yet? Are you afraid?" Ye Shikai mocked coldly, feeling more assured by Zeus's hesitation, realizing that Zeus had a good mind and could distinguish the situation well. If he recklessly pushed Ye Shikai into using the Netherworld Blade, even if Ye Shikai couldn't withstand its backlash, neither could Zeus bear its immense power.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, images from the day Ye Shikai had performed at the Holy Mountain flashed in Zeus's mind: glowering with a cold smile, appearing both shadowy and captivating, with the speed of lightning, he effortlessly slaughtered three Main Gods who were usually domineering, as if crushing three insignificant insects.

Zeus's expression became more grave, knowing there are many opportunities to defeat Ye Shikai, but he only had one chance to act. Without a hundred percent certainty, Zeus would not act rashly.

Confronted by Ye Shikai's provocation, Zeus thought he was bluffing. Just as he was about to make a move, he paused, wondering if Ye Shikai was trying to lure him out to reveal his trump card. Could he really have something up his sleeve...

Psychological warfare, which the ancient Huaxia people began playing thousands of years ago, made Ye Shikai's lips curl into a smile.

Even Aphrodite found it difficult to figure out if Ye Shikai and Ji Qian were bluffing or if they really had a backup plan. This was no arcade game where you could just insert another coin and revive after losing; a misjudgment could mean life-threatening danger.

At this point, the distant sound of more than a dozen cars was heard, and Ji Qian sneered coldly, indicating that the reinforcements from the Moon God Temple had arrived. It seemed that the plans of Zeus and Aphrodite could not be realized.

"Zeus, are you, perhaps, too afraid?" Ye Shikai suddenly shouted loudly, releasing a murderous aura. Now that Zeus was already apprehensive, Ye Shikai wanted to add fuel to the fire.

"Hades, don't be so arrogant," Zeus dared not move forward, yet he felt unwilling to just leave like that.

"Haha, alright, if you can't stand my arrogance, then come and fight me. I'm standing right here, ready for a death match with you," Ye Shikai laughed disdainfully, also trying to provoke Zeus. However, even if Zeus was infuriated, he didn't dare to act. On the contrary, if Ye Shikai showed weakness now, Zeus would come to attack.

War is the way of deception.

"Aphrodite, you're quite pretty; why follow a coward like Zeus? Why not come with me?" Ye Shikai suddenly conceived the idea of "luring" Aphrodite to defect.

Openly and brazenly poaching someone like this, no man can tolerate, especially not a king like Zeus. Such words were blatant provocation — though directed at Aphrodite, these words were really to agitate Zeus.

"Look at this coward, doesn't even have the courage to fight me," Ye Shikai continued to shout when Aphrodite didn't react. This tactic was indeed ruthless, not only insulting and humiliating Zeus but also subtly sowing discord between Aphrodite and Zeus. Women love heroes, and now, Ye Shikai had the upper hand. He understood Zeus well; skeptical by nature, and Aphrodite didn't seem like someone with untiring loyalty. With these words, Zeus would inevitably harbor suspicions towards Aphrodite in the future.

The only downside was the woman by his side. Ji Qian's expression tightened, biting her small teeth so hard that it seemed they might make a sound.

Clearly, she was jealous.

Indeed, no woman could remain indifferent when her man said such things. Even knowing it was part of Ye Shikai's strategy, fortunately, the car was soundproof, or else, if Su Qingyu inside heard those words, it might very well lead to divorce.

"What do you think? I've already had my men prepare a room. Wanna join me for the night?" Ye Shikai said again. Zeus seemed angry, pulling Aphrodite over harshly and glaring viciously at Ye Shikai.

"What, you're not convinced? Fine, I'll give you a chance. How about coming to my Netherworld Palace? Your abilities aren't bad. I'll offer you a position as a leader. How about that?" Ye Shikai continued to taunt, which was equivalent to mocking Zeus since he was a Main God, yet Ye Shikai only offered a leadership position.

"We're leaving," Zeus said coldly, giving a glance at the approaching cars in the distance, taking Aphrodite's hand and leaving the scene.

.......................................

"How are you, are you alright?" With Zeus and Aphrodite having left, Ji Qian also withdrew the Moonlight Formation and then looked at Ye Shikai, whose face was pale.

Pfft.

Suddenly, Ye Shikai turned his head forcefully to the side and spat heavily on the ground, and under the moonlight, Ji Qian faintly saw the dark liquid pooled on the ground.

Blood.

"I'm fine," Ye Shikai quickly said, wiping the corners of his mouth with a tissue, speaking faintly, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji Qian's arm.

"Don't tell her about this," Ye Shikai said resolutely.

"Alright," Ji Qian sighed softly, looking quite troubled.

"M'lords, are you alright?" Selena arrived with dozens of armed personnel dressed in white. As soon as she received Ji Qian's support order, she rushed over with her people.

"We're fine," Ji Qian replied faintly.

"Qingyu, I'm sorry you were scared," Ye Shikai said as he immediately opened the car door to comfort Su Qingyu inside as soon as he got the chance, and as the door opened, Su Qingyu clung to Ye Shikai like a koala, refusing to let go.

"Cough cough, Qingyu, why don't you come down first," Ye Shikai said softly. Having lost a large amount of Inner Strength earlier, he almost ran out of breath with such a tight embrace.

"Qingyu, please don't be angry with me anymore, okay? I was wrong about this matter; I can explain it to you slowly," Ye Shikai, recalling previous incidents, suddenly grew anxious.

"Let's not mention this again," Su Qingyu said simply, with a hint of sobbing in her voice.

"Hmm."

"Well, it's quite late today, let's go get some rest," Ye Shikai gently comforted her. Originally, he intended to take Su Qingyu to stay at the Moon God Temple for a night, but later thought it was inappropriate. What would Ji Qian think, her heart might ache unbearably, so Ye Shikai consulted Ji Qian about it, and she didn't object, even asking a few guards to escort them to a local luxury hotel.

"Those people earlier, they're not still alive, are they?" In the hotel, Su Qingyu seemed somewhat apprehensive and afraid.

"Yes, in fact, they've always been causing me trouble, but luckily, with Ghost and the National Security Bureau, Zeus won't make any moves in Huaxia," Ye Shikai gently patted Su Qingyu's back, calming her softly.
