Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

As expected, how could these two miss anything that happened around Ye He? As long as Ye He was not asleep, they would not be able to fall asleep no matter how sleepy or tired they were.

And so, they immediately heard the name "Walter".

The voice coming from the vines also said that the robbers who kidnapped a little girl named Cathy seemed to be so powerful that they were beyond Walter's control!

"I knew it……"

Ye He smiled and shook his head.

He did not expect Cathy to be captured, but he expected that there must be many powerful forces lurking in the shadows within the Federation and had not yet revealed themselves!
Underground emperor? Dead warriors, servants and killers?
How can these guys who can walk openly on the streets be considered "in the shadows"?
The Federation and the Empire dominate the continent. The Federation even vaguely suppresses the Empire with Catherine. How could such a powerful country not have some unknown "strategic reserves"?
"Uh-oh!"

Connor had just reached her limit in her training, so Ye He let her rest and then looked towards Garcia.

Others may not know, but there is no reason why the Speaker of the "Shadow Parliament" would not know what the Federation really relies on, right?
Garcia immediately understood the meaning of Ye He's gaze. She dragged her exhausted body towards Ye He, and while cleaning up the exercise equipment for the irresponsible Connor, she told Ye He:
"It could be the [Divine Servant], or it could be the [Beast King Army] directly under the command of the President. Did they show any abilities when they captured Cathy?"

The last sentence Garcia asked was to Hera on the vine, and Hera immediately replied to her:

"Turning into a giant bat and flying into the sky... does that count?"

"That's... the Beast King Army. The bats... should be the Evil Bat Demon, Vesdon, one of the four legendary generals!"

In response to Hera's explanation, Garcia immediately told Ye He everything he knew:
"Four legendary generals... the 'guardian gods' of the Federation. It is said that they are all ninth-level monster masters, the strongest demigods under the true gods.

The President of the Federation is not a subordinate to them, but has signed a certain cooperative relationship with them since the founding of the Federation.

Unless the President's life is threatened during his term of office, they do not directly serve the federation, and it costs a very large extra price to get them to do things.

Unless... this is something they wanted to do on their own initiative."

"I see. It seems... this night can't end like this. Who wants to watch it with me?"

Ye He nodded to Garcia, then summoned his hell suit and was dressed in an instant.

Gracia was somewhat tempted by Ye He's invitation, but unfortunately she had over-trained and was unable to move, and she was reluctant to waste the water of life that Ye He gave her...

Fortunately, Garcia stretched and lay back on the bed, squinting his eyes and said to Ye He:
"I dare not let those people see me. If I really become the president in the future, they will not cooperate with my work."

This sentence immediately reminded Garcia. Garcia had just said that these strong men were top masters who cooperated with the Federation and were like "bodyguards" of the President during his tenure.

Like Garcia, I, who aspire to be the president, don't need to follow Ye He and offend those people.

And Ye He wouldn't mind them being "sly" at this time.

Sure enough, Ye He just smiled at the ladies, then opened the window and flew out, leaving all the ladies in the room.

But except for Connor who had fallen asleep after exercising to his limit, Garcia and Gracia could not close their eyes for a long time after lying down.

The two "competitors" who had been, are, and may continue to be hostile to each other in the past, present, and even in the future, inexplicably made eye contact.

Although they are "enemies", since they have the opportunity to complete the exercise together with Ye He on the same bed... it is difficult to guarantee that they will not "cooperate" with each other once or twice under certain special circumstances.

This is a matter of the future, so let’s not discuss it until it happens.

After leaving the hotel, Ye He quickly flew to the avenue out of the city on the north side of South Folia, where Hera was waiting for him on a steam locomotive on the side of the road.

Seeing Ye He open the car door and get into the driver's seat, and start the car skillfully to move forward, Hera pretended to be jealous and smiled at Ye He:
"Thank you for your hard work. I just satisfied three ladies and now I have to run out and continue working."

"I don't mind satisfying the fourth or fifth. Of course, it depends on the ladies' mood."

Ye He replied to Hera without turning his head. It was difficult for his woman to be jealous in this regard because no lover could accompany Ye He alone to complete the exercise.

"What are the other details?"

After Hera's smile restored the atmosphere to an ambiguous state, Ye He asked Hera this.

Hera must have known not to tell the ladies all the news and details without his reminder.

For example, Hera did not mention Cathy's identity as an angel.

"There are signs of the church's involvement," Hera immediately became serious and explained to Ye He in detail:
“I received a notification from Bing half an hour ago. She was watching the young people over in the town, and the house where the young people lived… exploded!
Victor was lucky enough to jump out of the window. Although he sprained his ankle, he was not hurt.

Bing's original words were that she saw a pair of broken wings growing out of Cathy's back, but the next second, Cathy was put into a glass bottle.

The person who did it was a woman made of shadows, with no identifiable features other than the obvious female body features.

She put Cathy into the bottle and threw her into the sky. A huge bat flew over and took the bottle away in an instant.

Hera stopped here, and it seemed that this was the end of the Ice Knight's original words that she had relayed.

The Ice Knight should have set off to chase the bat immediately, but the many questions left behind are still worth Ye He's consideration.

He looked at the road ahead, blinked, and suddenly sighed, then said to Hera:

"This town is finished, Victor... Never mind, if he can't survive, I'll go to hell to get him out."

Hera: “?!”

After hearing what Ye He said, Hera finally reacted belatedly.

Yes, Ice Knight and Cathy... these two powerful fighters left the town together, one captured and the other chased...

If Walter knew about this, he would not have left the town with no fighting power and no one guarding it without dealing with it.

He didn't even need to go through all the trouble. He just needed to send someone to release the killers detained in the town...

Even though Hera thought she was not a good person, she felt very upset when she realized that many people had lost their lives. She no longer cared about what Ye He said about "going to hell to fish out Victor".

The fact was just as Ye He expected. When Ye He drove the steam locomotive and brought Hera to the town where the real culprit of the kidnapping case lived, the town had already turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Ye He did not get off the car, but drove the motorcycle along the barely passable road all the way to the mayor's house where he and Hera had visited once.

Rooney, who was definitely not a good man but was definitely competent as a mayor and a father, had his body stiffly stuck on the door of his own house, allowing the flames to burn him.

The house behind him had collapsed due to the fire. Ye He saw at a glance the entrance to the dungeon with the door opened and the raging fire burning inside.

Interestingly, among these flames lay the bodies of the killers who were initially stopped and captured by Hera and the Ice Knight.

These people were silenced by the people who destroyed the town. It was a very direct and straightforward "cleaning method", but the skills of this "cleaner"... were not sophisticated enough...

Ye He still didn't get out of the car. He stretched out his hand and used Camelot to pull out two charred bodies from the depths of the dungeon.

Two drops of water of life fell and dripped onto their charred faces. Soon, the two men who were coughing desperately knelt down in front of Ye He.

But now is not the time to deal with these two killers who have managed to survive until now. Ye He continued to stretch out his hand, and Camelot opened a secret door hidden near the dungeon. Victor, who lost an arm and looked extremely pale, walked out with a group of children who had already cried and lost their voices.

He looked at Ye He, nodded to Ye He very seriously and manly, and then fell to the ground.

This kid... is really good!

Ye He threw a drop of water of life on Victor and then ignored him.

The two killers coughed out the black ash in their lungs and struggled to stand up at this time.

They looked at their recovered bodies, at the burning town, and at the children surrounding Victor.

Finally, they looked at Ye He together.

"In this case, are you going to continue to complete the mission?"

Ye He pointed towards Victor.

"Or do you want... revenge?"

Ye He pointed to the dungeon where the fire was still burning.

The two killers looked at each other.

Yes, they are killers, they take money and kill people, that's their job.

But... this does not mean that they can be so easily abandoned by "their own people" and "eliminated"!

The two killers clenched their teeth at the same time.

The point is not whether they live or die, but that they cannot die from the betrayal of their own people!
This hatred... If they could let it go, they would not be in the fire, with their lives licked by flames, and still persist until Ye He's arrival.

So they nodded to Ye He together.

"revenge."

“What can we do for you?”

"It's very simple!"

Ye He pointed to Victor's direction.

"Take them to South Folia and report what happened here to the media. Of course, this does not change the fact that you once tried to attack this town.

But even if I don't tell you, you should know it better than me, right?
There is a huge difference between attempted and completed crimes... Don't worry, I have people in the Supreme Court, you just need to cooperate with the media interviews and you can leave."

When Ye He said this, the two killers' eyes lit up.

This is not Yehe painting a rosy picture for them, but rather giving them an irresistible, well-founded "right path".

Compared to the man behind the scenes who betrayed them and literally destroyed the town, they actually didn't do anything too wrong.

Even if the Supreme Court enforces the law impartially, the worst they can do is be convicted of attempted murder. Because of Victor's efforts, they may even have legitimate reasons to have their sentences reduced, and they won't have to spend more than a few years in jail.

And according to Ye He, they can quickly disappear after the interview, whether it is to wait for an opportunity for revenge or to change their identity and retire, it is a good way!
"Thank you for your help."

After dealing with the two killers, Ye He signaled to Hera again.

"Oh? You think he's still here?"

The "he" Hera was referring to was the mastermind behind the destruction of the town.

Ye He smiled at her and then looked in one direction.

A figure surrounded by silver light was being pulled towards Camelot.

"He may be on the way. Do you know this man?"

Ye He let the figure fall to the ground so that the killers could identify his appearance.

"He is Shadow Owl's assistant. Was it Shadow Owl who set the fire?"

One of the killers recognized the identity of the man who looked terrified and did not seem like an important character.

But facing the gazes of Ye He and others, he just shook his head, and was taken away by a curse that erupted from his body.

"It was Shadow Owl's trick. It seems that Shadow Owl really set the fire."

The two killers confirmed this information to Ye He. They subconsciously wanted to introduce the danger of this "Shadow Owl" to Ye He and remind him to pay attention to safety.

But before they opened their mouths, they realized at the same time... this is Ye He, and the person who needs to pay attention to safety... is only Ying Xiao.

"I see. That's it for now."

Ye He nodded to them, then nodded to Hera, then drove the motorcycle through the burning town and headed further north where the Ice Knight was chasing.

With Hera around, it won't be difficult for these people to return safely to South Folia. Garcia and Gracia from the Continental Hotel will help Ye He deal with their follow-up.

The only person who deserved Ye He's emotion was Victor.

Although this guy is not that good, he was able to save the lives of so many children under such circumstances. It is really not easy.

Hera mentioned earlier that he sprained his ankle. Rooney must have realized the danger and asked him to hide in the secret cellar with the children.

But in that cellar... there was actually a third-level monster born there.

Victor's hand was eaten by this monster, but even though his body was being eaten by the monster, he did not scream to attract the enemies who were setting the fire, but hugged the children.

It seems that this kid has indeed grown a lot... Then I should try my best to bring Cathy back to him as soon as possible, otherwise he will show his disappointment in me.

Thinking of this, Ye He smiled.

However, before that...

Ye He stepped on the brakes and stopped the motorcycle on the road.

With the help of the motorcycle's headlights, Ye He clearly saw the two figures blocking the road, and also saw their names using his personal panel.
