Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shangguan Ze and Jian Yunzhou, hiding in the shadows, watched with tense expressions.

The leaders of the two major factions meeting were bound to shock many. If a firefight broke out, the situation would escalate quickly. But the Seven Sinisters seemed determined not to let them leave the dock alive. The stage was set for a fierce battle.

Shangguan Ze had agreed to give Rong Qi only one hour. If she didn’t appear within that time, he would lead an assault.

Outside, the stand-off was palpable.

Inside, the atmosphere was equally tense.

“Boss, why is it a woman? Have we been played by Sevenfold Venture Group?” There were no surveillance cameras near the dock, only human eyes and ears. Ye Nanshen frowned. The information on Sevenfold Venture Group’s leader indicated a man, known as S. His voice cold, he decided, “Let’s see how this unfolds.”

Rong Qi ascended the stairs alone, led by members of the Seven Sinisters.

“The leader is inside. Please.”

At the door, Rong Qi, with a dark smile playing on her lips, pushed open the door.

“Here we are.”

The people inside tensed up, eyes fixed on the door…

As the door opened, Ye Nanshen’s sharp gaze swept over, his fingers pausing slightly, stiffening momentarily. His aggressive aura dissipated in seconds, replaced by a half-smile. He sat casually, legs crossed, eyeing the newcomer. Seeing the person inside, Rong Qi gasped and turned to leave. She thought, ‘Crap, that’s the Hades I expected. But he could count as Hades.’

Before Rong Qi could exit, the figure on the sofa spoke, “Mr. S? Won’t you sit?” Rong Qi bit her lip, pretending not to hear, leaving a defiant figure behind. Ye Nanshen chuckled, “Mr. S is quite bold, entering the wolf’s den alone. I underestimated you.”

Mocking laughter followed.

Zhuang Ling and others behind Ye Nanshen were baffled.

‘Why did Master Shen seem to know S? S’s face was fully covered. Can he see through masks? But S did seem strange, eager to leave, as if afraid of facing Master Shen.’ Zhuang Ling thought.

Rong Qi, indeed, was a bit scared. Her mind raced for excuses.

“Won’t you sit, Miss S? Or should I say, Ms. Rong Qi?” Ye Nanshen asked.

The mockery in those last words was unmistakable.

“What?” Zhuang Ling’s jaw dropped. “The madam?”

Zhuang Ling looked again at the person by the door.

Rong Qi removed her mask, her face innocent as she looked at Ye Nanshen’s dominant posture. She said, “Da Da, would you believe I just wandered in to use the bathroom?”

Ye Nanshen gave Rong Qi a teasing look.

“It’s really madam! Madam, what’s going on? Weren’t we supposed to meet with Sevenfold Venture Group’s leader, S? How did it turn out to be you?” Zhuang Ling asked in shock.

Rong Qi walked over and sat beside Ye Nanshen, taking his hand and wrapping it around her waist, leaning into his embrace. She said, “So what if I’m Sevenfold Venture Group’s leader? No matter how powerful, I’m still your little wife. Right, Da Da?”

Ye Nanshen chuckled, at a loss with Rong Qi.

‘She always undertook such dangerous tasks alone, never telling me. Where did that leave me, her husband? Today she’s lucky that I’m the Hades, but what if I wasn’t? Would she have charged in alone?’ Ye Nanshen thought.

Just thinking of Rong Qi risking herself alone made Ye Nanshen feel like his heart was being squeezed. He wanted to scare her into behaving, but every time she acted cute, he just couldn’t stay mad.

“So, you’re S, the leader of Sevenfold Venture Group?”
