Chapter 1696: Chapter 1696

Sophia nodded and said, "It’s partly my intuition. When I stand in front of him, there’s a kind of terrifying oppressive aura that suffocates me. Nothing seems to have changed, yet a chill runs down my spine, and I don’t dare to fight him. Looking back, I still feel that if it were one-on-one, I wouldn’t stand a chance against him, just like I wouldn’t against you, Master."

Li Yifei nodded in agreement. Sophia’s character never admits defeat easily. As an assassin, she only has one path forward. Hearing her express fear towards anyone is rare, and it’s a testament to Li Yifei’s impact that she respects him both mentally and physically. If she says Satan is strong, then he must be, or else she wouldn’t have delivered this letter, knowing there’s no reason to deliver a challenge letter to her master. Googlᴇ search 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽

Then, Sophia added, "When I returned, I heard something that confirmed Satan has indeed grown stronger, but I couldn’t find out how he became so powerful."

"Tell me, what happened?" Li Yifei asked.

Sophia continued, "A few days ago, Satan went to South America, all by himself. He ventured alone into Brazil and confronted a group of arms dealers, wiping them all out. It’s said there were over a hundred casualties, and Satan was the only one involved."

Li Yifei smirked and nodded, acknowledging what he heard. Satan’s actions reminded him of his own rampant actions against the Yamaguchi Group in Japan. It seemed Satan also wanted to prove himself in such a manner. Defeating a hundred people alone is already an incredible feat, let alone confronting heavily armed arms dealers. But... while it sounds difficult, it’s not necessarily so in execution. Li Yifei had already proved that it’s feasible. So, he wasn’t particularly impressed by Satan after hearing this. During World War II, there was a famous American soldier reportedly taking down over a thousand Japanese troops and surviving, holding off an entire battalion’s assault. Now that’s truly legendary.

Of course, looking back, that soldier probably wasn’t your average serviceman, flying in the face of what’s possible.

Returning to Satan’s exploits, Li Yifei casually remarked, "Given enough time, you could do it too."

Sophia grinned, taking Li Yifei’s words as a compliment, and felt a bit cheered. She chuckled and then said, "This is just the beginning. Satan wiped out the arms dealer group in just one day. Supposedly, it was because someone from the group killed one of Satan’s subordinates, sparking his fury. However, Satan’s bloodshed also attracted the attention of a mysterious organization within Brazil, which dispatched people to intercept him."

Li Yifei gave a slight nod, indicating for Sophia to continue.

Sophia went on, "The people sent to stop Satan were no small fry. They were among the most important figures in Brazil, rumored to be descendants of the Maya, elders who hadn’t taken action for many years. In short, they were very powerful. After stopping Satan, the two had a huge battle. Nobody saw their fight directly because it happened in the woods, and no one dared to get close. But many watched from afar; the constant rumbling was unforgettable. After their fight, a large section of the forest was destroyed. The outcome was that Satan walked out of the woods unscathed, unopposed, while the elder was reportedly mortally wounded and died a few days later."

Li Yifei raised his head, looking at Sophia, and asked, "Satan defeated a very powerful Brazilian expert?"

This information was significant. Each country had its own top-level masters. For instance, Murong Yuanqing and others represented Huaxia’s pinnacle strength. Countries like Japan, Korea, and Vietnam also boasted top-tier experts. In Brazil, with its sprawling Amazon rainforest and once-thriving Maya culture, masters of this caliber existed, comparable to Murong Yuanqing’s level. Li Yifei wasn’t sure if he could defeat Murong Yuanqing; although they had crossed paths several times, neither had given their all, stopping just short of that. A confrontation with Satan would be a fight to the death — it’s either you or me. Li Yifei actually needed such deadly combat to grow, rather than sparring matches that stopped short. After hearing Sophia’s words, he craved the battle with Satan even more, as a worthy opponent truly deserved a battle. Otherwise, if only Li Yifei improved while Satan remained stagnant, it wouldn’t stir the fighting spirit, despite his respect for the opponent.

But fighting would be dull and unexciting.

Sophia nodded emphatically, saying, "This information is reliable, no doubt about it. Moreover, Satan has been continuously challenging others, creating momentum, and improving himself."

"Alright, I’ve got it." Li Yifei nodded again, touching his chin, realizing he forgot to shave. The stubble had grown out, which his wives at home liked to run their hands or cheeks over, but it was only pleasurable at this length; longer, and it would prick them. "I’ve received the letter. How should I reply?"

Upon hearing this, Sophia’s eyes widened innocently, shaking her head as she responded, "Master, replying is your job. Why ask me?"

"Hahaha, I thought you, the little mail carrier, would handle sending the reply back." Li Yifei laughed heartily.

Sophia pouted and said, "Of course not. If I weren’t overpowered by him, I wouldn’t even deliver this letter back, though I know you, Master, will surely win. Still, I didn’t want to bring this kind of letter back." Sophia said.

Li Yifei folded the letter, placed it back in the envelope, and casually slid it under the coffee table. He then asked, "After talking about Satan, let’s talk about you. What have you been up to these past few months?"

When Li Yifei shifted the topic to her, Sophia’s eyes darted around, and she straightened up, her legs together.

Hmm? This formal? Li Yifei raised an eyebrow, smiling as he said, "You didn’t go back for matchmaking, did you?"

Sophia’s body jolted, her eyes widened instantly. After a few seconds, she violently shook her head as if electrocuted, saying, "How could that be? Of course not! I went back for other things, not to look for a boyfriend, besides..."

At this point, Sophia abruptly stopped, almost blurting out something she shouldn’t have said.

It takes someone truly special to melt the cold and ruthless Sophia so visibly. Reflecting on when they first met, there was real danger then, real attempts to kill Li Yifei. Who would have thought Sophia, now, would be so embarrassed over a slip of the tongue?

Li Yifei teased her once again but didn’t want to push too far, in case it backfired. He asked, "Did you go for special training?"

Sophia seemed thinner, though she wasn’t fat before; now, her cheeks appeared slimmer this time around.

Hmm... still a very full chest! Li Yifei’s gaze quickly scanned and then shifted away.
