Because of the assassination of Pope Louis III, Gabriel and others who accompanied him had no mood to stay here any longer.
Ye Xunhuan was well aware of this, so he directly arranged for them to leave.
Fearing that the boss might have arranged an ambush for Gabriel and others on the way, Ye Xunhuan had them escorted directly to the Vatican to avoid any accidents during the journey.
As for others who wanted to leave, Ye Xunhuan arranged for their departure as well. For those who didn’t want to leave, he didn’t force them and allowed them to stay until they decided to go, at which point Ye Xunhuan would arrange their departure.
The boss did not want to stay either and proposed to leave, but Ye Xunhuan did not let him leave immediately, instead suggesting they discuss it the following day.
Ye Xunhuan needed to stagger the departure of Gabriel and his return with the boss’s timing. Otherwise, if the boss returned and launched an attack on the Vatican, given his strength, the Vatican would surely suffer.
So, Ye Xunhuan had him stay.
The boss did not insist and agreed to Ye Xunhuan’s arrangement.
After arranging everything, Ye Xunhuan also left, but his steps were heavy as he departed.
Qiu Ruoxi did not go to see Wang Ma but followed Ye Xunhuan slowly from behind.
As Ye Xunhuan’s wife, Qiu Ruoxi could clearly feel the heaviness in his heart.
Meanwhile, once the boss returned to his residence with Lao Hei, Lao Hei couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, are we really going to leave just like this?"
"What else can we do, go and fight Ye Xunhuan?"
"But the Tai Chi Seal..."
"Man proposes, God disposes," the boss said helplessly. "We are destined not to take the Tai Chi Seal this time!"
"Why?"
"I know you want to say that Ye Xunhuan is injured, and the Demon King is also in low spirits. With only Olivia in decent shape, if I make a move, there’s a ninety percent chance of success!"
Lao Hei didn’t say a word, tacitly agreeing.
"But don’t forget, this is Ye Xunhuan’s territory. Who knows what’s hiding in the shadows here?" the boss said lightly. "Some old foxes are very cunning and won’t make a move until the last moment!"
"I don’t want to make clothes for others, especially since Ye Xunhuan is my son-in-law. Even though we didn’t get the Tai Chi Seal this time, I will certainly obtain it one day, and it will be easy!" the boss said confidently.
Seeing the boss so confident, Lao Hei didn’t inquire further but changed the subject directly, "Boss, should we go see Miss?"
"No need!" the boss shook his head slightly. "She’s living very well and is quite happy, so there’s no need to disturb her!"
"Understood!"
"However, once we get back, eliminate those ignorant ones around her!" the boss said lightly. "Anyone daring to target my daughter should go and report to hell!"
"Yes, once we return, I will handle it immediately!" Lao Hei said with respect.
The boss fell into silence, not saying anything more, lost in his own thoughts.
But based on Lao Hei’s understanding of the boss, he was certainly planning something big.
......
Although injured, Ye Xunhuan didn’t rest or treat his wounds. Instead, he wandered aimlessly around, with Qiu Ruoxi following closely behind, not disturbing him.
Suddenly, Ye Xunhuan stopped and turned to Qiu Ruoxi, saying, "Wife, I’m sorry!"
Hearing this, Qiu Ruoxi was startled and then asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?"
"I originally brought you here to get married, to make everyone happy, but I didn’t expect a fight to break out," Ye Xunhuan said apologetically to Qiu Ruoxi. "And even..."
"I don’t blame you, I’m very happy!" Qiu Ruoxi interrupted Ye Xunhuan, not letting him continue.
"But I killed the monarch, and Wang Ma, she..."
"If you hadn’t killed the monarch, he would have killed you," Qiu Ruoxi interrupted Ye Xunhuan again softly. "I know you’re worried about Wang Ma!"
"But you had no choice. If he didn’t die, you would, and if you were killed by the monarch, what about me?"
Ye Xunhuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn’t know how to speak.
"I also don’t want you to harm Wang Ma, but if I had to choose between the two of you, I’d probably lean toward you!" Qiu Ruoxi said earnestly.
"Wife..."
"Wang Ma took care of me for over ten years, and I am very grateful to her, seeing her as my second mother. But ultimately, it’s you who will walk with me, not Wang Ma!" Qiu Ruoxi said softly. "Besides, the monarch killed my in-laws, your master, and your brothers, and that blood debt must be repaid with blood!"
"Wang Ma can’t accept it now, but I believe that one day she will understand."
Ye Xunhuan slowly exhaled a breath. "I hope so!"
"Don’t think too much now. Let’s go back and rest, and also tend to your wounds. Okay?" Qiu Ruoxi said, slightly pleading.
She had wanted him to treat his wounds earlier but didn’t know how to bring it up. Now that the opportunity was there, Qiu Ruoxi wasn’t going to let it pass.
Ye Xunhuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
......
Time passed like sand slipping through fingers, and before they realized it, the next day had come, and Gabriel had returned to the Vatican with the body of Louis III.
When Gabriel returned with the body of Louis III, a wave of sorrow and rage swept through the Vatican.
Michelle, as the Vatican’s saintess and Louis III’s niece, almost fainted upon hearing the news of his murder.
She then rushed madly towards the cathedral.
At this moment, Louis III’s body was displayed in the center of the hall, with people from the Vatican standing around, their faces marked by pain and anger!
"Uncle..."
Like a whirlwind, Michelle rushed to Louis III’s side, and upon seeing his tragic state, her body began to sway uncontrollably, as if she might collapse to the ground at any moment.
