The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1876: Taking Sides

Thinking of this, Ye Shikai couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful. Issuing a challenge seemed "bold," but it wasn’t entirely a good thing. Just as Emily said, if he didn’t go, it would mean he issued the challenge but was afraid to fight, which might shake the confidence of the cultivators who came to ally. However, if he went to the agreed-upon location, it would be akin to directly stepping into Doris’s trap.

"Emily, I have an order for you now," Ye Shikai suddenly said.

"An order."

"Of course, since you’re here to ally, you should listen to me. As the Alliance Hierarch, I naturally have the authority to issue orders. What, are you going to disobey?" Ye Shikai said smugly.

"You... Alright, what’s the order? Just say it." Emily felt unwilling but had no choice. If she didn’t obey Ye Shikai’s orders, she would be kicked out.

"I order you, along with all your people from the Sun Temple, to go to South America ahead of time and station yourself at the agreed location. Be vigilant, and if there’s any movement, or if Doris makes any move, report to me immediately," Ye Shikai commanded.

"This..." Of course, Emily was unwilling; this was tantamount to sending her to be the early scout. If there really was any movement, Emily alone simply couldn’t be a match for Doris. To put it bluntly, this was sending her to her death.

"What’s the matter? Are you unwilling?" Ye Shikai retorted, "If you’re having difficulty, you can leave now."

"Alright, I agree."

"Good, then set out immediately. The plane is ready," Ye Shikai reminded her, "Remember, report to me immediately upon any action."

Emily accepted Ye Shikai’s orders and boarded the prepared plane. Though reluctant, she had no choice but to comply.

"My lord, Emily’s strength is decent, but her character is not steadfast. She joined us to rely on us; in essence, she’s a fair-weather friend. Given her past cooperation, sending her as the scout doesn’t worry you about her betrayal?" Nightmare questioned Ye Shikai’s decision, considering a competent and trustworthy person should be sent as the scout, yet Ye Shikai sent someone like Emily.

"Don’t worry, I didn’t just send her. Just now, I’ve already sent Soul Destroyer and Hidden Guard onto that plane," Ye Shikai explained, waving his hand.

"That plane is so small, Emily won’t notice?"

"Rest assured, Soul Destroyer is hiding in the cargo hold; he won’t be discovered. Once they reach the destination, he’ll monitor covertly," Ye Shikai said, not sending Emily just for the sake of sending her but having other intentions.

"As you said, Emily indeed shows the tendencies of a fair-weather friend. But precisely because of that, I can assess Doris’s situation." If Doris indeed sets an ambush in advance at the agreed location, with Emily’s character, she might "turn coat on the spot." At that time, Doris will likely let her infiltrate the Three Temples, allowing Ye Shikai to turn the tables.

Ye Shikai despises traitors. In reality, if Emily truly turned her coat, Ye Shikai could understand. As a middling Main God, she must rely on one side to survive; should she choose wrongly, her life won’t be protected. Sending her was also giving her a chance to re-align, but, if she didn’t turn, she would earn his trust.

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

Two days later.

"My lord, we’ve prepared everything. All necessary planes have been transferred here, and after inspections, are ready to take off anytime," Nightmare explained. There were over three thousand cultivators here, necessitating a dozen planes, so Ye Shikai’s plan was to set out in batches; Europe was far from South America, and arriving there would take some time.

"Feng Ling," Feng Ling slowly approached Ye Shikai.

"What do you need? Today is the day of departure, and I have many things to arrange. If you don’t have anything important, then leave."

"Feng Ling, I just want to remind you, it’s best not to fight if possible. Don’t forget the truce between you and the Family Head," Feng Ling said.

"Relax, no need to remind me of this. I know what I’m doing. Your Shadow Organization can act with us; I don’t mind it, but you’d better remain discreet. Here, those who want your lives are not just the Three Temples," Ye Shikai warned coldly. Feng Ling originally wanted to continue speaking, but seeing this situation, she could only silently follow behind, with her group as "bodyguards," which was a good thing.

Netherworld Palace once had a base in South America, though it was short-lived, but nonetheless, there were some forces there. The generals of the Netherworld Palace had also been here, so they weren’t unfamiliar with South America, which was advantageous for the final battle.

Ten hours later.

"Nightmare, take the Hidden Guard and secure the perimeter."

"Ghost, quickly gather everyone; our time is limited."

"Demoness, notify Emily to return to the airport and report the situation."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The group landed at an airport in South America, and from the moment they set foot here, they entered the territory of Sea King Palace. Ye Shikai dared not be careless, for their actions might all be under Doris’s eyes...

Thousands of people formed a mighty procession, stretching several kilometers. Ye Shikai looked at them, feeling more assured. The location for the duel this time was a wasteland ten kilometers outside Sea King Palace, an open area with a river to the left and forest to the right, with no residents around. Even if a battle breaks out there, no one will notice, making it the ideal spot for the decisive battle.

"Emily, any news recently?" Ye Shikai asked sternly.

"No, everything is normal. Doris is gathering people, preparing for the decisive battle with us," Emily replied calmly.

"Boss, she’s telling the truth," Soul Destroyer echoed beside, aware that Emily knew Ye Shikai sent him to monitor, but she didn’t dare complain.

"That’s good. Emily, you’ve made a great contribution this time. If we win, you’ll be our ally of the Three Temples, and I will heavily reward you in the future," Ye Shikai nodded, a hint of peculiar tone briefly flashed in his eyes.

"What do we do next?"

"Everyone, follow my orders, head directly to the duel location, and prepare for battle. This is a life-or-death battle between us and Doris; I want to settle the score in one fight."
