Chapter 537: Chapter 537

A few days ago, at Takeli Village in White Tiger City

A figure cloaked entirely in black walked step by step through a street littered with corpses and stained with blood, moving past one house after another.

Finally, arriving in front of the village chief Sheffield’s house, a pale little hand pushed open the half-open door, meeting a pair of terrified eyes looking out from inside.

But now, this body was already stiff in death, devoid of any life.

The figure cloaked in black carefully stepped inside and quickly found a secret compartment by the bed.

However, upon opening it, they discovered it was already empty.

At that moment, the figure suddenly removed the hood from their head, revealing an exceptionally beautiful face: Yuna, the Saintess of Goryeo! For origınal chapters go to N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

Yuna’s beautiful eyes scanned the room until a glimmer of light caught her attention.

And that glimmer came from the mouth of the corpse on the ground.

Yuna walked lightly, step by step, kneeling to examine the corpse.

At this moment, Sheffield’s mouth was wide open, and Yuna could clearly see the gemstone lodged in his throat.

Just then, Cui Dongxu’s voice rang in Yuna’s mind:

’Do me a favor. If you succeed, we owe each other nothing.’

Can his words be trusted?

A bitter smile suddenly appeared on Yuna’s face:

"Do I even have a choice?"

As the Saintess of Goryeo, how did she end up in such straits?

Yuna’s heart was filled with self-mockery and a sense of helplessness towards life.

Just as Yuna was about to reach for it, she suddenly paused, her pale hand hovering in mid-air.

Yuna looked at a prompt that appeared before her:

"Player ’Feng Hua’ has accepted the investigation task. Please find the mission target and withdraw within 3 minutes. Countdown: 179."

Surprise flashed in her eyes:

She hesitated as she looked at the gemstone.

Suddenly, a bright red gemstone appeared in Yuna’s previously empty hand.

Then Yuna stood up, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and disappeared from the spot, leaving only a light sigh in the air.

In a Divine Hall in Jizhou City of the Goryeo Battle Zone, Cui Dongxu was watching the suddenly appearing Yuna excitedly:

Yuna removed her cloak and shook the red gemstone in front of Cui Dongxu, then said:

"Chairman Cui, I think you should first show your sincerity."

But what made Yuna furious was that Cui Dongxu suddenly burst into laughter:

"Miss Yuna, oh Miss Yuna."

Cui Dongxu looked at Yuna with amusement:

"Do you realize you’re adorably naive?"

An uneasy feeling suddenly crept into Yuna’s heart, and she angrily said to Cui Dongxu:

"Chairman Cui, what exactly have you done?"

Yuna clutched the red gemstone, threatening:

"Don’t forget, what you want is still in my hands!"

But Cui Dongxu was indifferent to Yuna’s threat:

"I am not the one who needs it, so whether it’s in your hands or mine makes no difference."

Once again, an ominous premonition arose in Yuna’s heart.

At that moment, the Evil God statue in the Divine Hall suddenly lit up, and Cui Dongxu hurriedly knelt in reverence:

"Honorable Evil God, I have brought you what you asked for."

However, to Cui Dongxu’s shock, the statue dimmed immediately after lighting up and his task log showed: Mission Failed.

After being momentarily stunned, Cui Dongxu suddenly realized something and furiously exclaimed:

"Yuna, you’ve played me!"

Yuna immediately tossed the red gemstone at Cui Dongchu’s feet, looking furious:

"You tricked me first!"

Then she disappeared from the spot.

Cui Dongxu, incredulous, knelt down, picked up the red gemstone:

[Heart of Brilliance]

"This is an exquisite gemstone worth a fortune; perhaps selling it to a merchant would bring a handsome reward."

Reading the gemstone’s description, Cui Dongxu’s veins bulged as he threw it to the ground in rage:

From that day on, Goryeo players were surprised to find that their Battle Zone’s Saintess Yuna had not logged in for several days.

Meanwhile, in the business sector of Goryeo, a well-known business tycoon was reported for bribing officials and soon declared bankruptcy.

Within just two days, a business giant fell from grace, plunging to the mortal realm with such speed that innumerable stockholders and investors were shocked and stunned.

Amid widespread speculation and rumors in the Goryeo business community, a plainly dressed middle-aged man and a cheerful young girl appeared at the international airport exit in Binhai City, Hua Country.

The middle-aged man, carrying a suitcase, walked out of the airport tunnel, inhaling deeply as he observed the scene outside and sighed:

"It’s always more comforting to be on my own country’s soil."

"It’s been over a decade since I’ve returned, all because of the company."

Beside the middle-aged man, Yu Na looked remorseful, saying:

"Dad, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault that you’re in this situation."

The middle-aged man looked at the girl beside him, affectionately patting her hair and comforting her:

"Actually, it’s not so bad; at least we no longer have to live in constant fear from today onwards."

The middle-aged man looked up at the distant skyscrapers, feeling moved:

"What storms haven’t I, Yu Kelin, weathered in my life?"

"When I started from scratch, it was much worse than now; at least now I have you by my side!"

Yu Na looked tenderly at the seemingly dashing middle-aged man before her, yet she knew the pain in her father’s heart.

A business built over twenty years, gone in an instant.

All their assets frozen, forced out like a stray, barely managing to take a few change of clothes.

Faced with such a massive upheaval, how much does this man need to endure to appear so ’magnanimous’ now!

The middle-aged man suddenly grabbed Yu Na’s hand, striding toward the taxis outside:

"Let’s first wash away our bad luck, and then I’ll take you to try some of our Hua Country’s delicacies."

"By then, little Na will surely feel that those Hua Country dishes you’ve tasted in Chinatown are rubbish, hahaha~"

Countdown to the opening of [Nation War]: 1 day 15:45:12

Yu Na lay in front of the computer, browsing the Hua Country War Zone’s official game site, keeping up with recent events.

Then Yu Na clicked on the top hot post in the Hua Country War Zone game forum, which was a video recorded by a netizen from the Indonesia Battle Zone.

In the footage, Feng Hua stood atop a Giant Dragon, face stern and awe-inspiring.

Reading the comments below revealed they were mostly young girls’ ’infatuated’ messages and praises.

A faint smile spread across Yu Na’s face, washing away the fatigue from her family’s recent upheaval, as she softly said:

"You really didn’t let me down."
