Chapter 1754: Chapter 1754

The Queen of the Underworld calmed herself and said softly, "There are only two paths before us: move forward, and we will have him together; step back, and we will lose him forever, maybe never having the chance to meet again."

"I’ve already said before, no matter what difficulties arise, I will not back down!" Tifa’s mindset was always very resolute.

The Queen of the Underworld nodded slightly, approached Tifa, leaned close to her ear, and began to whisper softly...

Sometimes, some things have to be faced.

Although you do not dare to face it, he knows that avoiding it will ultimately not solve the problem.

You almost always walk half-bowed into your home. When you returned, your mother happened to be cooking in the kitchen, and your father was assisting her on the side.

Seeing you return, you seemed a bit surprised, but more joyful: "Mu Yun, you’re back?"

"Oh, son, you’re back?" Your mother peeked out, saw you sitting on the sofa, half-bowed, silent.

The couple exchanged a glance. Knowing that you’re not good at expressing yourself, your mother wiped her hands on her apron, walked out of the kitchen, and sat beside you.

Since you returned, your mother rarely saw such an expression on your face.

"What’s wrong?" Your mother gently stroked your head, "Tell mom if there’s something."

As your father, you were leaning against the door, looking at you with worry.

You found yourself unable to speak.

"Did you suffer any grievances? If you don’t want to handle important matters, we won’t do them." Your mother, after all, was concerned about her son, and in her view, no matter what you’ve been through, you are still an eighteen-year-old child to her.

You shook your head slightly. He thought for a moment, then asked, "Mom, has elder sister come home these past few days?"

"Little Yun? Didn’t she tell you? She went abroad."

"Abroad?" You were stunned, "Where did she go?"

"I’m not too sure, maybe Athens."

"Sweden? Why go to Sweden for no reason?"

"That, I’m not too sure either. Seems like a business trip. She said that on the phone, when you hadn’t come home yet, this was the usual sometimes for your elder sister, occasionally traveling for work with varying lengths of time."

You nodded. He hadn’t thought Li Qiyi would leave. Upon hearing this information, you didn’t feel any relief at heart but instead felt even more burdened. You also thought back to when Li Qiyi once told you, if she ever left suddenly, not to go looking for her.

Thinking of this, you let out a heavy sigh!

During the New Year’s Eve dinner, you dined with Yan Zisu, both families gathered at a table, the dinner went on late, and both families stayed together to keep vigil for the night.

After the midnight bell tolled, you escorted Yan Zisu’s family back home, and on the way back, you received a call from Wei Yingyue.

"Come out, I want to see you."

"Sister, don’t you see what time it is now? I’m so tired and about to go to sleep."

"I don’t care, I want you to come out now! Otherwise, you know the consequences!"

"Okay! I’m afraid of you, can’t I? I’m coming now."

"I just left Grandpa’s house, come over and walk with me."

You hung up the phone with a sigh.

Others spend the New Year visiting relatives and friends; you don’t have many friends, and you’re too lazy to deal with relatives. Most of the time was spent with Wei Yingyue, and the rest was accompanying Yan Zisu.

But, the more it was , the more you missed Li Qiyi.

Li Qiyi did not tell the family her contact information outside. You also asked Cen Nong, but Cen Nong did not know her whereabouts.

After leaving Cen Nong’s house, you suddenly noticed that Cen Nong’s figure seemed a bit plumper, couldn’t help but smile and say, "Sister Jun, I haven’t seen you for a few days, you’re looking fuller."

Cen Nong smiled without saying anything, but after you left, she gently stroked her lower abdomen, and a beautiful maternal glow appeared on her lovely face.

The holiday quickly came to an end. Just as you were about to return to the base with Wei Yingyue, a Middle Eastern man hurriedly approached you, respectfully handed you a letter without words, and then quickly left.

You opened the envelope, which had a message written in Arabic: "Rick is dead."

"Rick." Wei Yingyue was sitting next to you, even though you didn’t show an emotional expression, the aura around you became increasingly icy.

"What’s wrong, did something happen?" Wei Yingyue couldn’t read Arabic.

You exhaled slowly and said to Wei Yingyue, "Could you please ask the higher-ups for leave on my behalf? I have to go to Sweden immediately."

You immediately lowered your head, took a taxi to the airport.

Wei Yingyue did not see you off, just stood watching your distant figure, tightly frowning. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

Rick the Scythe Death God, besides Death God Ming, was the strongest among the Twelve Death Gods and also a very good friend of yours.

Two days later, the Swedish capital Stockholm, Tulip Building.

Alex led his team striding into the main entrance of the Tulip Building. Just as they entered the front, a group of five men dressed in uniform black attire approached head-on, led by a young man not yet twenty years old. He had a head of fiery red short hair and walked with an arrogant and conceited demeanor. That pair of loathsome eyes stared fixedly at Alex.

Alex did not want to have any friction with these people, not even wanting to speak with them. Just as Alex was about to sidestep them, the red-haired young man stepped into Alex’s path, looked at Alex, and licked his lips, "Alex, I heard you went to China?"

In the Netherworld, aside from a few people, others couldn’t keep secrets. Alex did not deny it, he nodded but said nothing.

"Is China fun? I quite like Chinese women, with their long black hair, just like the Queen of the Underworld, hehehe." At this point, the red-haired young man again wantonly displayed a malevolent expression, still licking his lips, making people feel disgusted and repulsed.

The Queen of the Underworld is the direct ruler of the Netherworld, and Alex is one of her followers, naturally not allowing the red-haired man to act so recklessly: "Fire King! Don’t think you can act at will just because you sit on the seat of the leader of the Twelve Death Gods!"

"Hehehe, if you have the ability, come challenge me." The Fire King threw his head back and laughed heartily, pointing at Alex, "Although the Queen of the Underworld has blocked the news, there’s no wall in the world without a chink. Tell me, did you go to see the King Ming? Hehehe, did that old undying one get a serious illness?"

Alex did not answer, actually, he had not gone to China, because he also feared facing the King Ming.
