Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2452 - 2516: Home for Now

Maybe our leverage isn’t enough? But this leverage isn’t something he should discuss; it should be Green Dragon negotiating. Over the years, no one who has provoked Noah’s Ark could remain unscathed, except for Li Yifei. Not only did he come out unharmed, but through repeated killings, he forced Noah’s Ark Organization to retreat and swallow their pride.Of course, this also relates to the two significant organizations of the day simultaneously declaring war on Noah’s Ark Organization, putting them under immense pressure.

Li Yifei doesn’t want a truce, doesn’t want to negotiate. He wants to continue... Park Sung-ho felt that if he continued speaking, the other party might just kill him on the spot.

"Rest assured, I won’t kill you now, but next time might be different, so you’d better pray there won’t be a next meeting. As for your organization, I’m sorry, but the things you’ve done are unforgivable in my eyes. Sure, this might sound arrogant, but I still have to say it: you and your organization, it’s a fight to the death!" Li Yifei finished the last four words with such immense force that Park Sung-ho felt overwhelmed, as if facing Captain himself.

He nodded stiffly, forced a smile, and said, "I’ll try my best, thank you, Mr. Li. However... I still wish to say a few last words."

"Go ahead," Li Yifei said with a tilt of his head.

"Noah’s Ark Organization is truly powerful. If we can avoid direct confrontation, it’s best not to. Maybe you and the Saintess think this organization is nothing much, but... what if there’s more power yet to be revealed?"

"Such words can’t intimidate me; even if true, they’re useless. Park Sung-ho, I understand your intentions, and you know mine. Go back and tell that Green Dragon, whoever he is, I will meet him, but not at the negotiating table!"

"Alright, I’ll convey your message!" Park Sung-ho nodded and understood the gap between himself and Li Yifei; they couldn’t talk like they used to, so he accepted it. He picked up the glass of wine from the table, filled it to the brim, raised it, and said, "Mr. Li, as acquaintances, I toast to you. From a former friend’s standpoint, I’d like to persuade you, but I understand your position and attitude. However, being from Noah’s Ark Organization, after this drink, we can only be enemies, though I am unworthy of such a title."

"Since you’ve said that, I’ll regard you as an enemy. So next time we meet, I won’t hold back," Li Yifei said.

"Alright!" Park Sung-ho nodded heavily, drained his glass, placed the empty glass on the table, stood up, clasped his hands in a farewell gesture, and turned to leave.

Li Yifei slowly put down his glass, took a bite of food, and chewed lightly. After a minute, he said to the Saintess beside him, "You won’t blame me for deciding this way, will you?"

"Blame you for what? For not killing him just now to reduce an enemy? Darling, since we teamed up to challenge Noah’s Ark, some things were destined. Even if you agreed today, the Holy War Organization and I would still continue. So easily negotiating peace would disgrace the name of the Holy War Organization," the Saintess said.

"Husband sings and wife follows," Li Yifei laughed heartily. The Saintess rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who’s your wife? Your face is too thick."

"Is it thick? I feel fine!" Li Yifei said while raising his hand to pinch his face, prompting the Saintess to roll her eyes again.

In their playful banter, they made an important decision. Though they seemed relaxed, this decision meant they would continue to confront Noah’s Ark Organization, possibly facing its intense retaliation.

So it wasn’t easy, but did it matter? Noah’s Ark Organization was so vicious and hateful; the forces behind them would support them.

As for negotiating peace... It was indeed unexpected. They hadn’t thought Park Sung-ho would put so much effort into meeting them for this purpose. Had they really scared Noah’s Ark Organization?

Li Yifei didn’t think so, although it was possible. He suspected Noah’s Ark Organization was distracted by other matters and didn’t have the energy to eliminate them, so after the meal, when they left, Li Yifei and the Saintess contacted their respective organizations.

Murong Yuanqing was still protecting the Li family. He said he would move only when this matter was resolved. During this time, the old man wasn’t idle; Li Yifei and Jiang Ningxiang’s child had grown a bit. With Bai Shan’s seal, there was no worry of exposing his extraordinary talent, but some basic teachings could begin now.

Receiving the call, Murong Yuanqing listened quietly to Li Yifei and said, "I haven’t received any news yet, but if Noah’s Ark makes any significant moves, our people should know soon!"

"It’s just a suspicion, Elder; I wanted to discuss with you what to do next,"

"Have the leads broken?"

"Pretty much broken," Li Yifei said regretfully. "I traced it to the Aoki Group, but the direct person in charge is already dead. The other investigations turned up a lot, but none knew where the raw materials were going, just the regular time and place of transactions each month. And even if we could trace them, the information would just point to those bases, which I’ve already dismantled."

"Hmm... you’ve been out for some time. Why not come back and rest for a bit?" Murong Yuanqing thought for a moment and said.

"Going back now?" Li Yifei was slightly taken aback, then immediately understood Murong Yuanqing’s intentions. The previous plan agreed upon by both sides was for Li Yifei and the Saintess to launch a series of attacks, to stir the waters and ultimately draw out the Noah’s Ark Organization’s lair, or bring out the so-called captain.

However, the people of the Noah’s Ark Organization have withdrawn, and Li Yifei and the Saintess have done so much, yet the other side comes to negotiate... If true, something must have happened on the Noah’s Ark side; if false... Li Yifei, the Saintess, and the forces behind them certainly wouldn’t take the Noah’s Ark Organization lightly because of this.

Nevertheless, going home is also possible. Li Yifei had been out for another couple of months, from summer to autumn, so claiming not to miss home would be false. After pondering for a while, Li Yifei decided to go home first.

Two days later, Li Yifei appeared at the front gate of the Li family residence; the front gate had been repaired long ago, and the security guards on duty, seeing the family head return, immediately ran out excitedly.

Several familiar faces were gone, causing Li Yifei to sigh inwardly. He hugged each of the guards, who were also his friends and had greatly contributed to the Li family, for which Li Yifei was grateful.

His wives came out to greet him, and Li Yifei hugged them one by one. After meeting his family, Li Yifei went to see Murong Yuanqing.

Just as he arrived at Murong Yuanqing’s place, the old man said, "I’ve already clarified Noah’s Ark’s movements. There’s a secret location beyond the East Ocean, rumored to have been left by a Great Power a thousand years ago. Though always a legend, latest news indicates this secret location seems to have been slightly revealed, initially seen by fishing boats. Reports indicate Noah’s Ark has assembled some masters to find this secret place!"

"Such a thing? Is it similar to the Island of All Beings?" Li Yifei’s expression turned serious.

Murong Yuanqing shook his head and replied, "It’s not the same... You’ve investigated the Island of All Beings, which indeed seems to be the place where Li Yu, the exiled king, ekes out existence, whereas this time... it’s definitively left by a Great Power, incomparable to Li Yu’s situation."

Li Yifei asked, "What do you need me to do? To find that secret place? Or to intercept Noah’s Ark’s people?"

"No, you’ve just returned. Rest at home for a few days; I’ve already arranged for someone else to investigate it!" Murong Yuanqing responded.

"Is the person sent safe?"

"First, get to the bottom of it! When I need you, I’ll notify you immediately!" Murong Yuanqing assured.

"Alright, standing by anytime." Li Yifei agreed.

Leaving Murong Yuanqing’s place, Li Yifei returned home. Seeing all his wives waiting for him, his wandering heart finally found peace. Relaxing on the sofa, Li Yifei embraced left and right, surrounded by beauty, he exhaled in comfort, enjoying this rare tranquility.

Chu Xiaoyao and Feng Yiyi obediently massaged him to help him relax. The other women naturally wished to be close to him too but knew they had plenty of time. They updated Li Yifei on recent household matters and then began to depart. Li Yifei said, "Wives, thanks to you for managing the household affairs. As for me... I haven’t done enough, but I promise, once this matter is resolved, I’ll stay at home with you all, not going anywhere else, just staying with you!"

Xu Yingying, currently in her nursing period, her figure somewhat rounded but looking very healthy, gently smiled and replied, "Finish this matter first, then we’ll talk. It’s enough for you to know in your heart."

"Husband, actually there’s nothing wrong with you going on missions, but please ensure your safety, otherwise, we’ll be overly anxious at home." Chu Xiaoyao said.

"Xiaoyao is right, though you’re improving, our opponents and enemies are becoming stronger too. This time, it’s more dangerous than ever before. Yifei, you really can’t take it lightly." Su Mengxin cautioned sternly.

Li Yifei reassured, "I know. This time with Yanzi cooperating, the two of us shouldn’t be in too much danger, but the enemy is indeed powerful, can’t let down our guard!"

"Just knowing is good!" The women nodded.

Lin Qiong crossed her arms and asked, "How far have you and Yanzi progressed?"

"Uh... not much progress, you know about the Worm in me..." Li Yifei replied awkwardly.

"Really?" Lin Qiong’s single question shifted the women’s focus, and thoughts of missing him turned into curiosity about the Saintess and Li Yifei’s relationship, accompanied by some scrutinizing glances.

Li Yifei scratched his head and said, "At most, sleeping together, she hasn’t joined the family yet, I can’t possibly do much more!"
