CHAPTER 1224: CHAPTER 1222: YAN’S REQUEST

Daphne’s eyes widened, "This looks like a lotus!"

Because the pattern was very rough, Daphne had never considered viewing it upside down.

"No, it looks more like a flame," Wang Dadong said.

"What exactly is it?"

Wang Dadong shook his head, "I don’t know either."

Of course, he knew what that lotus-like and flame-like pattern was.

It was the emblem of the Battle God Temple.

The Battle God Temple loved to control other people’s wealth empires, so it wasn’t surprising that someone as wealthy as Daphne had caught their attention.

The reason he didn’t tell Daphne was because Wang Dadong didn’t want to frighten her.

The Battle God Temple was a presence even the Dark Council did not want to provoke.

Besides, even if Daphne knew it was someone from the Battle God Temple, she couldn’t change anything.

Daphne looked somewhat disappointed. She thought Wang Dadong might know something.

"Actually, you don’t need to overthink it. Maybe it really is just an accident," Wang Dadong comforted.

Daphne sighed, "Maybe."

"Daphne, although I may not be able to offer you love, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me, and I will surely help you," Wang Dadong said.

Daphne raised her head, her beautiful eyes fixed straight on Wang Dadong, and said, "But I just want your love."

"Are you sure you really want it?" Wang Dadong asked.

Daphne was silent.

Did she really want it? She was asking herself too.

"I think you know the answer," Wang Dadong smiled.

From Daphne’s hesitation, Wang Dadong realized that what attracted Daphne to him was purely because he was powerful.

There could be genuine liking, but liking does not equate to love.

Wang Dadong stood up and walked towards the door.

"What if I say, I really want it?" Daphne said, still unwilling to give up.

Even if she doesn’t truly love Wang Dadong now, in this world, is there a man more outstanding than Wang Dadong?

Besides Wang Dadong, who else could she love?

"Say it when you truly want it," Wang Dadong said as he opened the door.

Watching Wang Dadong disappear, a strong sense of loss surged in Daphne’s heart.

She had failed, even though she had lowered herself to the point of being willing to be Wang Dadong’s concubine, she still failed.

"Lin Shiyan, what exactly do I lack compared to you? I won’t give up!"

Wang Dadong left the café and shortly after returning to the hotel, someone knocked on his door.

It was Yan.

"Can we talk?" Yan said.

At the time, Yan was also wearing an angel mask, so Lin Shiyan didn’t know the person in front of her was the angel from that night. Looking at Wang Dadong with a somewhat aggrieved expression, she wondered if he could stop doing this. First Daphne, now another beautiful lady.

Just how many rivals does she have...

"Honey, I..."

"Talk, one more doesn’t make a difference," Lin Shiyan pouted.

Seemingly noticing Lin Shiyan’s jealousy, Yan chuckled lightly, "Little sister, don’t worry, he and I are just friends, very ordinary kind."

What Yan said was true; she and Wang Dadong were merely ordinary friends, not even true friends.

But saying such a thing right now sounded ironic.

Wang Dadong left again.

"You’re calling me little sister? I’m 27, almost 28, okay!" Lin Shiyan closed the hotel room door, rather displeased.

Clearly, although Yan’s meridians were severely damaged, her keen hearing remained.

Wang Dadong also heard Lin Shiyan mumbling to herself after closing the door, and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

"She is a good girl," Yan said.

"I know," Wang Dadong nodded. The two didn’t go to the café but walked casually on the road.

In the ensuing silence, Yan actually envied love.

Although the rumor wasn’t entirely true that all heaven’s angels were the women of heavenly gods, they could not have love.

"How’s your injury?" Seeing Yan somewhat downcast, Wang Dadong changed the topic and pretended to ask.

"You can tell just by looking," Yan sighed.

Her meridians were completely severed, and indeed the Heavenly God had ways to help her recover, but she was made to wait.

Because the Heavenly God was trying to reach a new realm at that moment, it wasn’t suitable to expend any energy.

Previously, Wang Dadong had to use Yama’s Life-Stealing Needle to forcibly enhance his power to heal Li Huan’s hand.

As for Yan, her meridians were entirely severed; restoring the meridians of a Holy Order Angel would require an immense amount of power.

However, heaven’s medical prowess was very advanced. Yan had suffered such severe injuries and yet, in less than a day, was able to move freely again.

"Why did you come to me?" Wang Dadong asked.

Daphne approaching him could be understood, but Yan had no reason to.

After a moment of silence, Yan said, "Though I know this sounds a bit outrageous, I still need to say, I’m here to ask you to repay my favor."

Wang Dadong was stunned upon hearing this, "Favor? I don’t remember owing you a favor."

Wang Dadong and Heaven’s Judgment had only one deal; namely, he collaborated with heaven to attack the Underworld River stronghold and in return, heaven rescued Lin Shiyan.

Nothing more.

Now the cooperation was over, naturally, they owed each other nothing.

"Tyrant, would you trade Hades’ life for your wife’s life, would you?" Yan asked.

"No," Wang Dadong replied without thinking.

Not Hades, nor even the Heavenly God would convince him.

"Then there you have it; I saved your wife, yet you didn’t help me kill Damandis, so you owe me," Yan said resolutely.

"Uh..." Wang Dadong found himself at a loss for words; if said that way, there was some truth to it.

"Plus, currently the only ones who know your identity are Underworld River and Heaven’s Judgment, and I believe you don’t want your identity known by more people, do you?" Yan continued.

Wang Dadong nodded, that was indeed the case.

Having just Underworld River and Heaven’s Judgment aware of his identity was already a headache; having more forces know would be beyond troublesome.

"What do you want?" Wang Dadong asked.

"Help me save Ardent Heart," Yan’s eyes showed a trace of sadness.

Thinking that her sister was truly fallen pained her deeply.

"But I can’t do that," Wang Dadong frowned.

Not to mention Hell doesn’t have the technology to free Underworld River’s controlled people, even if they did, he has no means of rescuing from Underworld River.

Nowadays Underworld River was nothing like before, even the Fallen Demon King had reached Hermit-level status, who knew how powerful that unseen Hades must be.

"Tyrant, aside from you, I truly don’t know who else to turn to. I’m begging you, if you can save my sister, I’d even offer you my body," Yan’s eyes showed a pleading expression.
