The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1890: Celebration

"Alright, if you need help, we will certainly assist." Tianjing expressed gratitude. Ye Shikai had already accomplished most of the task, and the National Security Bureau’s arrival was basically just to benefit from the results. However, Ye Shikai didn’t mind, as long as they could completely eradicate the HST project, he didn’t care who got the credit.

The research facilities of the National Security Bureau have the most advanced equipment and the most professional personnel. As long as they are given the agents, they should be able to develop a potion specifically for dealing with these mutants. By then, even if the project remains, with the special potion to counter mutants, they can handle it easily. Thus, the threat of the mutant army would be greatly diminished.

"I don’t know how many such bases there are, nor do I know how long it will take to capture the mastermind, so you’d better hurry with your research, the sooner the better. Additionally, if you really develop a potion to deal with mutants, I hope it can be shared." Ye Shikai suggested.

"This... I can’t answer you for now, but I will report to Director Jin immediately. If there are no problems, I think it should be fine." Tianjing explained, the research in the National Security Bureau is, after all, confidential. Tianjing is just a team leader and doesn’t have decision-making power.

"Alright, I await your answer."

"Okay."

Tianjing instructed the members of the National Security Bureau to take everything from the potion vault, along with the five mutants. These items were terrible enough to ’destroy’ the world, definitely cannot fall into the hands of the malicious.

"Aphrodite, when will you finally tell me about the mastermind?" Ye Shikai walked to the other side, where Aphrodite was guarded by Nightmare and others.

"I’ve already said, wait until we’re in a safe place, otherwise if I tell you now, you’ll kill me, right?" Aphrodite retorted.

"Alright, tell me now, which place do you consider safe."

"I... can’t tell you."

"Soul Destroyer, open the cage." Ye Shikai said coldly.

"Yes." Soul Destroyer opened the iron cage that held the mutants, Ye Shikai personally escorted Aphrodite and pushed her into the cage.

"Hades, you lunatic, what do you want to do?" Aphrodite couldn’t stay calm seeing this. She possessed no combat ability, and her illusion technique was difficult to perform in such a narrow space.

"Let me see if this mutant will help me get the result I want." Ye Shikai criticized coldly, putting on earphones to give orders to mutants.

"Aren’t you good at illusion techniques, see if they work on these monsters." Ye Shikai continued, "Mutants, attack her."

With Ye Shikai’s command, the mutant in the cage, as if waking from a freeze, twisted its joints and, upon seeing Aphrodite in front, lunged like a beast starved for three days.

"Ah ah."

Bang.

"Hades, let me out immediately." Aphrodite hurriedly sidestepped to avoid the mutant’s fierce attack, but in the narrow confines of the cage, she couldn’t escape.

"So, do you remember now?"

"Alright, alright, I’ll talk, okay? Just make it stop." Aphrodite quickly compromised, in this situation, not compromising would mean certain death, struggling would only delay the inevitable.

"Mutants, stop." Ye Shikai ordered, and the mutant immediately ceased moving, standing still.

"I have to admit, this thing really is useful." Ye Shikai remarked sarcastically.

"Hades, you truly are a lunatic." Aphrodite was still a little shaken, usually known for her cunning and secrecy, she unexpectedly showed such a miserable side.

"To deal with scoundrels, only the madman’s methods work. Enough nonsense, hurry and tell me how you can inform me who the mastermind of the HST project is." Ye Shikai questioned coldly.

"You send me to the Beauty Goddess Temple and swear that you and your people won’t harm me, then I will tell you."

"Alright, we have a deal." Ye Shikai understood Aphrodite was acting out of self-preservation, she plotted meticulously, harming many members of the Three Temples, knowing now she can’t survive, she intends to exchange this secret for a safeguard. Ye Shikai certainly wanted to eliminate her to avenge the members of the Three Temples, but the HST project posed an even greater danger. If not handled, more lives would be lost. Weighing the pros and cons, he opted to spare her life for now.

"Tianjing, you can send these mutants back, and also screen these researchers, regardless of innocence. These mutants have now acquired obedience to commands, probably made by them." Ye Shikai instructed Tianjing’s group to return to Yanjing. As for himself, he still had things to do, Chen Yuxin phoned to urge him, so Ye Shikai could only deal with it perfunctorily for now.

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

"Qian, now that everything is over, you should return to Yanjing. You’ve been out for so long, Mr. Ji must be worried." Ye Shikai advised, the battle between the Three Temples and the Sea King Palace was concluded, and the remaining issue was how to handle the HST project.

"Alright, take care of yourself." Ji Qian nodded in agreement.

Camp.

"Haha, Old Ye, we’ve won a big victory, shouldn’t we celebrate a bit?" Wang Kai suggested.

"Sure, let’s throw a party at the camp and revel for three days." Ye Shikai’s lips formed a rare smile. After so much, there were finally substantial gains; now almost all forces and organizations in the Underworld were subjugated to the Three Temples. From now on, no one can threaten him.

"That’s great."

"Tomorrow, we’ll head into the city to procure some supplies, and have a proper celebration."

"Alright."

The next day.

"How’s it going, what are you thinking about?" Ye Shikai came to where Aphrodite was held, here many Hidden Guards were responsible for watching, and frankly, Ye Shikai wasn’t afraid of her escape. She was still poisoned with Worm Poison, and if not promptly treated with antidote, she would undoubtedly perish.

"Hades, is your promise reliable? If I really tell you who the mastermind is, what if you act against me behind my back?" Aphrodite countered, worried Ye Shikai could betray her, she had already anticipated this. In these times, this environment, promises are perhaps the cheapest, anyone capable of speech can make promises.

"Aphrodite, I think you overestimate yourself. Now you’re merely a prisoner, even if I free you, what can you do? Regarding you, killing or not killing makes no difference."
