CHAPTER 1223: CHAPTER 1221: DAPHNE’S COMPROMISE

But there are indeed things that even Madame Daphne could not obtain.

And that was Wang Dadong’s love.

Love, for those who do not need it, is priceless; for those who need it, it is also priceless.

Despite possessing wealth comparable to a nation’s, Daphne couldn’t buy Wang Dadong’s love.

Even with her unparalleled beauty, she couldn’t exchange it for Wang Dadong’s love.

This is love.

Perhaps for the first time, Daphne felt the pain of wanting something she couldn’t have.

Yet, the desire for the unattainable only made her want it more.

Lin Shiyan is also someone who knows when to restrain. Since her goal was achieved, there’s no need to overdo it.

Soon, the meal was finished.

Daphne wiped the corners of her mouth with a clean silk napkin.

She seemed like a natural aristocrat, with every move filled with an elegance unmatched by other women.

"Sister Lin, may I have a private talk with Mr. Wang?" Daphne asked, putting down the napkin.

"Madame Daphne, just say whatever you have to say, my wife is not an outsider." Wang Dadong said lightly.

Initially, Lin Shiyan was a bit hesitant about letting Wang Dadong be alone with Daphne. After all, this woman was indeed too tempting.

He had already fallen for her once before; she didn’t want to repeat the mistake.

But after hearing Wang Dadong’s words, she smiled and said: "It’s okay, Dadao, since Madame Daphne wants to talk to you alone, then you can talk."

Wang Dadong was a bit helpless and couldn’t help but curse Lin Shiyan inwardly as a foolish woman again.

Daphne was such a clever person, with ten thousand ways to deal with men.

If one way didn’t work, she still had nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine ways.

Even though my willpower is quite strong, it might not withstand nine thousand nine hundred kinds of "tortures."

Wang Dadong followed Daphne to the café outside the hotel. The two entered a private room.

"Go ahead, what do you want?" Wang Dadong lit a cigarette and took a puff, asking.

"You are the Wingless Angel, aren’t you?" Daphne got straight to the point.

"That’s right." Wang Dadong had nothing to hide.

Even though she had already figured it out, Daphne was still shocked when Wang Dadong admitted it himself.

She used to think she was standing at the pinnacle of the world, but now she realized that she was just a frog at the bottom of a well.

Those people that day were the ones truly controlling the world.

It’s just that they hid so well that even someone of her status didn’t know such people existed.

Not easily exposing one’s strength is actually an unspoken rule in the Martial Arts Realm.

Martial artists, with too much power, would undoubtedly cause panic if the public knew of their existence.

Those mortals would surely use the excuse of threatening societal stability to have the gover.nment eliminate the martial artists.

Ultimately, it could result in a confrontation between mortals and martial artists.

Martial artists are strong, but their numbers are too few, almost only one in ten thousand of the general population.

And lethal weapons are in the hands of ordinary people.

If a real war broke out, nobody knows who would win or lose.

The gover.nment has considered this a long time ago, so even though Wang Dadong is a member of the China Divine Shield, enjoying great authority, he does not have the right to mobilize national-level lethal weapons.

After a long silence, Daphne bit her lip and said, "Dadao, I was wrong. Could you give me another chance..."

"Daphne, I’ve made it very clear, there’s no possibility between us." Wang Dadong said calmly.

"What if I’m willing to accept her presence and not require any status?" Daphne lifted her head, looking a bit pitiful.

Being a little woman? She could do that too.

But before meeting Wang Dadong, except for her deceased husband, she had never met a man worth doing so for.

Wang Dadong was slightly taken aback to hear that Daphne had actually compromised.

But after thinking about it, it seemed quite normal.

When he was still Hell’s Death Knell, many little countries’ princesses wanted him to be their prince consort. One rather liberal country even allowed him to have multiple wives.

This is the privilege of the strong.

But Daphne’s status is far higher than those so-called princesses. Her compromise gave Wang Dadong a sense of achievement.

"Really, Dadao, I truly love you, let me be your woman, even if it’s just as your lover." Daphne said softly.

After encountering a man like Wang Dadong, Daphne knew she would never love another man in her lifetime.

Therefore, she broke her own rules, lowered her proud head, and was even willing to be Wang Dadong’s lover.

Wang Dadong took a deep drag from his cigarette, which is why he called Lin Shiyan foolish.

Daphne might not be suitable as a wife, but if it’s just for being a lover, no man in this world would refuse.

Of course, Lin Shiyan was so assured because she never imagined that a woman like Daphne would be willing to be someone’s mistress.

After a long time, Wang Dadong slowly exhaled smoke and said, "Daphne, you are an excellent woman, but we really aren’t suitable. To be honest with you, I don’t just have Lin Shiyan as a woman."

Upon hearing this, Daphne didn’t seem surprised. After knowing how outstanding Wang Dadong was, she already guessed that he would certainly have more than just Lin Shiyan as a woman.

That’s why she came to Wang Dadong.

"Dadao, you should know that although I appear glamorous, many are eyeing my position, wishing me dead. For instance, my husband, who was secretly assassinated. I just want to find a reliance, something that can make me feel safe..." Eventually, Daphne revealed her most genuine thoughts.

"Your husband was assassinated?" Wang Dadong slightly frowned.

It was the first time he heard Daphne talk about this matter.

Daphne nodded, her expression somewhat sad, "Yes, although it seemed like an accident, I know it was definitely an assassination."

"Do you have any clues?"

"There was a unique way of communication between my husband and me. Before he died, using special methods, he left me a mark."

"What kind of mark?"

Daphne took out her phone, found a picture, and handed it to Wang Dadong.

Upon seeing the picture, Wang Dadong immediately frowned.

Actually, at first glance, Wang Dadong couldn’t recognize what the design was. It was so rough that it was almost indistinguishable.

"Do you know this design?" Daphne asked when she saw Wang Dadong’s expression change.

If she could find out what this design was, maybe Daphne could find clues about the person or force that assassinated her husband.

Wang Dadong turned the phone over and handed it back to Daphne to look at.
