Chapter 1793

With that, the long saber suddenly transformed into an endless flurry of blade shadows, shrouding toward Miratang's head!

However, just at that moment, Miratang's figure abruptly darted aside, dodging Kesi Dilin's attack! Then, with a flick of his hand!

Whoosh!

A streak of black light shot out! In an instant, it pierced through Kesi Dilin's shoulder!

Kesi Dilin let out a muffled grunt, his left arm jolted! The blade tip viciously wedged into the seam of the deck's wood, and then his whole body, borrowing that fierce impact force, surged up once more!

And that streak of black light was pinned into the deck where Kesi Dilin had originally been sitting!

It turned out to be an arrow!

A sharp gleam exploded in Kesi Dilin's eyes!

His feet leapt up again, and another streak of saber light swept out!

And at this moment, Miratang's long sword had already been thrust over!

Clang!

Kesi Dilin raised his hand to block!

However, at this moment, his right knee had already pressed into Miratang's stomach!

This mercenary named Miratang was directly knocked sprawling onto the deck!

"Your strength truly surprises me." This Miratang rubbed his aching belly and stood up: "But if you think that with this, you can safely return to Europe, you are greatly mistaken."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands.

Immediately after, several more submarines emerged from the surroundings!

And this time, from the decks of those submarines, seven or eight people leapt down! Each of them gripping a long saber in hand, bristling with killing intent!

"Who on earth are you people!" Kesi Dilin demanded.

None of these people spoke; instead, they all drew their long sabers in unison and charged forward!

Kesi Dilin flung out his sleeves!

Crash!

A swath of snow-white saber light exploded open!

His body abruptly leapt up!

A bolt of blade-light swept across the sky!

"This is Young Master Kesi Dilin's peak martial skill!" Miratang roared: "Kill him!"

Kesi Dilin did not linger in battle; in his view, tonight's ambush incident must be inseparable from Atlantis!

However, right now, he still hadn't figured out where exactly the enemy was hiding!

Just as Kesi Dilin leapt into the air, a sniper shell suddenly whistled over from afar!

Bang!

The sniper shell hit with pinpoint accuracy at the muscle of Kesi Dilin's right calf!

It was a high-explosive grenade!

Boom!

A huge ball of fire exploded!

Kesi Dilin's trouser leg was instantly burned to ashes on the spot!

That leg had already become terribly scorched, and one could even faintly hear the crack of bones snapping!

Kesi Dilin landed back on the yacht! His expression was gloomy, his teeth clenched in hatred!

Damn bastards, actually setting up an ambush to plot against him!

In fact, if it weren't for that grenade, with Kesi Dilin's skills, he probably wouldn't have suffered such a grievous wound!

"Young Master Kesi Dilin, our patience is limited. If you remain obstinate…"

Just as Miratang was speaking, a streak of black light suddenly surged over from beneath the night!

Then, a bullet drilled straight into Miratang's throat!

"Ah!"

This Miratang let out a wretched scream, clutching his neck, and collapsed to the ground!

Kesi Dilin's long saber pointed at another person as he said: "Lead the way."

Ximen Wudi lay on the bed, gazing at the moon beyond the curtain, his mood extremely foul.

He hadn't recovered much strength yet, but because Danielle Xia Pu was accompanying him by his side, Ximen Wudi's state of mind had improved slightly.

"We need to find a chance to leave," Ximen Wudi said.

"I was thinking the same, but you should rest and recover your body first before we talk," Danielle Xia Pu said.

Ximen Wudi turned his head and kissed Danielle Xia Pu's pretty face: "Thank you, Xia Pu."

He felt extremely fortunate now, fortunate that this calamity had finally been endured through.

As long as he could get through these days, everything would be fine.

"Should I consider finding you a girlfriend? Otherwise, I'm worried you might stay single for the rest of your life." Danielle Xia Pu teased with a smile: "But it seems even I don't have a boyfriend right now, let alone some male best friend."

"How could that be? I'm still waiting to marry you." Ximen Wudi said: "In this life, I'll only ever fall for you alone."

"Bah, shameless. Between the two of us in this life, who's marrying whom?" Danielle Xia Pu pouted: "Hurry up and recover, I can't be bothered to take care of you."

"I might need three to five days." As Ximen Wudi spoke, he took out several bottles from beneath the pillow, poured out some ointment, and spread it evenly around the wounds. Moreover, around these wounds, Ximen Wudi wrapped cloth strips into several circles, looking just like wrapping a zongzi.

"This ointment really works wonderfully." Danielle Xia Pu looked at Ximen Wudi and revealed a faint smile: "I didn't even know when you learned to concoct something like this."

"Ahem, when I was hospitalized in a hospital in Hua Xia before, I got to know an old grandfather. When he had nothing to do, he developed a set of medicinal formulas for treating injuries from falls and bruises. Later, I felt this stuff was too precious, so I didn't collect it." Ximen Wudi explained.

Mm, this kind of ointment was indeed specially left for him by that old grandfather—back then, his head had nearly been smashed open by some bastard, and this old man had given Ximen Wudi this life-preserving charm, telling him to carry it on his person so that at a critical moment it could save his life.

However, now it seemed Ximen Wudi had long had no need to use this thing, after all, with his skills, he basically wouldn't get hurt anymore.

However, there were still two boxes left in Ximen Wudi's hands; he planned to take one box with him, give one box to the military advisor, and the remaining one box… he would give it to that miss who had helped him a great deal on a certain isolated island in the South Sea.

"So you're saying, you have a very good relationship with that old grandfather?" Danielle Xia Pu asked.

Although she usually always bickered with Ximen Wudi, regarding this old man who had saved Ximen Wudi's life and also saved the Atlantis family, Danielle Xia Pu had always harbored a heart of gratitude.

"Yes, he showed me kindness." Ximen Wudi said, his eye sockets slightly moist.

"You, you, always like to shed tears. Let me tell you, a man bleeds but does not shed tears—only then does he appear strong." Danielle Xia Pu gently stroked Ximen Wudi's cheek once and said.

Ximen Wudi grinned: "No, I'm not shedding tears, I'm just thinking of many past events."

Yes, this old man's story, he had also heard it before.

Ximen Wudi had once sworn before the old grandfather's tombstone that he would absolutely never forget the other's kindness in this lifetime.

Danielle Xia Pu gently embraced Ximen Wudi, pressing her pretty face against his chest: "You still have me."

Ximen Wudi's gaze softened: "I will never forget that the girl I love most has always been by my side."

After saying this, he reached out and cupped Danielle Xia Pu's pretty face.

Four lips met.

…………

In a luxuriously decorated yet somewhat cold and cheerless office, an old man wearing a white long gown was holding a teacup and drinking tea.

In front of him sat a laptop computer.

"Lopez, I hope you understand one thing—Atlantis is yours, and this city is likewise yours." At this moment, a hoarse male voice rang out inside the room.

A thin, emaciated man stood before the window, staring outside through the glass; his entire body was wrapped in a thick windbreaker, the brim of his hat pulled low, so that no expression could be seen.

He was Zeus!

And the one who had just spoken was none other than the second-in-command of the Gold Family!

At this moment, Zeus suddenly raised his head, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes: "Who is the master of this city? You know!"

That voice continued: "You're wrong. Atlantis is not anyone's private property. How much wealth does this city pump into all of Europe every year—don't you understand? Lopez, you've been retired for many years now, so don't get involved in this kind of dispute."

After a pause, the voice continued: "You don't belong to this city, nor should you belong to any faction."

"Heh, then what about you? Should you also not belong to this city?" Zeus sneered with a smile: "Your name is Apollo Tagstadt!"
