The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1875: Accepting the Duel Challenge

"You still don’t understand Doris. Although she’s ruthless, she wouldn’t completely hide away like a turtle. She will definitely set up a trap," Ji Qian countered, "If she sets a trap, where do you think it would be?"

"If she doesn’t accept our engagement, we would definitely attack Sea King Palace directly. So... she will definitely set traps and ambushes at Sea King Palace. As soon as we go there, we’ll suffer heavy losses." Ye Shikai suddenly realized that this was Doris’s intent. She wouldn’t confront directly but rather launch a sneak attack, a vicious sneak attack. If the overt way doesn’t work, she’ll resort to the covert methods.

"Since you’ve deduced that she will set up traps and ambushes at Sea King Palace, why do you still want us to go there?"

"Since she has already thrown Sea King Palace as a bait, we have to show up, right?"

"I understand your meaning now. If we don’t go to Sea King Palace, Doris really won’t show up. But once we go, she will naturally appear, and we just need to turn the tables to eliminate them." Ye Shikai understood Ji Qian’s idea. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The roles of prey and predator are not fixed but constantly changing. The predator can also fall prey to its hunt.

"Qian, no matter what, this battle will be extremely dangerous. Doris’s strength is not something you can handle. If you really encounter her, don’t engage; I will deal with her." Ye Shikai reminded Ji Qian, who, as the eldest daughter of the Ji Family, did not need to be there, but she came personally and even brought a batch of the White Mist Army because of Ye Shikai. Hence, he didn’t want her to get hurt.

"Alright, you don’t have to remind me. I’m more aware of her strength than you. After months, she must be different now. You also need to be prepared."

The next day.

"Black Wolf Organization, here to assist in battle."

"Rose Killer Organization, here to assist in battle."

Vehicles parked at the entrance of the Netherworld Palace. Luckily, the base was big enough, otherwise, there would have been trouble accommodating them. Ye Shikai personally came to the entrance to welcome them, but people came in like waves. He couldn’t welcome them all and had to let several battle generals help.

"Look, so many people have come again."

It was already the second day, and the organizations coming for the alliance had surpassed 2,000. However, while excited, he wasn’t overly pleased. Most of these people were like Emily, joining the Three Temples’ camp not out of willingness but necessity. They had their "little calculations." First, like Emily, being a Main God, they must choose a camp to ally with. They could be seen as "fence-sitters," but also for their own benefit. Second, Doris’s former enemies wanted to take revenge with the help of the Three Temples and get some spoils.

"Sir, many people have already arrived. The planes we prepared for tomorrow might not be enough," Nightmare brought up an awkward issue. The plan was to fly to Sea King Palace because one is in Europe and the other in South America. With a ship, who knows how long it would take. The Netherworld Palace used all its resources to charter planes, but there were only enough seats for 2,000 people. Now it seemed the number far exceeded 2,000.

"Go find more, if not, go to Bonarson. He must have some." Ye Shikai said.

"Alright."

In the evening, Ye Shikai called Chen Yuxin, telling her about the situation here. She didn’t persuade him, perhaps understanding that Ye Shikai wouldn’t abandon this operation. However, they had previously agreed on three conditions. Chen Yuxin left some Shadow Organization leaders at the Netherworld Palace, partly to monitor and partly to protect.

"Boss, big news, big news!" At this moment, Worm rushed in, startling Ye Shikai.

"What happened, you’re so excited."

"Doris and Aphrodite have replied," Worm shouted in excitement.

"What? They’ve replied?" Ye Shikai stood up abruptly, not expecting Doris to dare respond.

"What did they say?"

"They accepted our challenge letter, and they agreed immediately," Worm continued, "Additionally, they’ve sent invitations to everyone in the Underworld, inviting them to join in opposing us."

"Worm, notify Nightmare to meet me in the conference room."

..............................

"Sir, I feel this is clearly Doris’s scheme. Given their strength, how could they dare to confront us directly? I absolutely don’t believe it."

"However, if it’s true, then we must appear at the agreed location. Otherwise... it would be our problem." Ye Shikai murmured. Besides, he hoped Doris would confront them face to face, as it would benefit the Three Temples. Yet now Doris readily agreed, making him feel uneasy.

Everyone fell silent. Doris’s acceptance of their challenge letter paradoxically caused the dominant Three Temples to start hesitating...

"Old Ye, now that Doris has agreed, if we don’t go, wouldn’t we lose face? What if Doris really shows up and we don’t? Our prestige in the Three Temples will be severely damaged. Besides, if we go, what’s the loss? If Doris is there, we fight. If she’s not, we head straight to Sea King Palace. No matter what, she’s doomed." Wang Kai thought straightforwardly. The truth lies with the strong, and now the Three Temples are strong, unafraid of conspiracies.

"Doris is likely setting a trap." At this moment, Emily walked in from the outside.

"Emily, what are you doing here?" Nightmare was somewhat displeased. In his eyes, Emily was a "fence-sitter," now relying on the Three Temples just to use their power against Doris. This confidential meeting of the Three Temples should not have outsiders.

"Nightmare, don’t get agitated, Emily, feel free to speak," Ye Shikai gestured.

"Thank you."

"According to my analysis, Doris is likely setting a trap. She appears to agree to the battle to lure us to the agreed location where she can set up an ambush in advance. If we don’t go, we lose prestige. If we go, we fall into their trap and ambush, suffering heavy losses."

"Emily makes some sense. Doris accepting our challenge means we must go, inadvertently making us the passive side."
