Chapter 821: Untitled

To An Xunuo, Muscat was a very distant place. As she hurried around the world in these past years, she was only familiar with London. As her daddy Michael was in London, she hence loved London.

Somebody once said that all it takes to fall in love with a city is when the very person you love lives in said city.

With the death and dissection of the person whom she so dearly loved, few, to An Xunuo, could understand how hurt she had felt. They simply had no idea what kind of struggle and hurt she had experienced.

Michael’s death and her dissection of him often played across her mind, and she was in agonizing pain. If her body weren’t enduring it for its dear life, she would have needed medicine to barely fall asleep.

At this moment, she just wanted to rest and stay out of Silver Cloud and Ye Ningyuan’s feud. She had no idea what feud Silver Cloud had with Ye Ningyuan. An Xunuo’s mind was blank and unclear. The only thing she knew was how Silver Cloud somewhat hated Ye Ningyuan.

He was a magnet for detractors.

An Xunuo wondered. It wasn’t just one or two who hated Black J of the Top Terrorist Organization in the underworld. If somebody could unite the entire criminal underworld and had enough firepower to take on the Top Terrorist Organization, they would be more than happy to.

As for the anti-terrorist groups…

Many in the international anti-terrorist groups wanted to eliminate the Top Terrorist Organization, but it was a shame that they had no evidence against Ye Ningyuan. Ye Ningyuan was so adept at breaking the law, and his over-the-top computer skills allowed him to manipulate evidence to cover his tracks. Some of the Top Terrorist Organization’s massive military escapades were out of bounds to them, so taking down the Top Terrorist Organization could only begin with evidence of Black J’s criminal involvement. And gathering intelligence pertinent to the Top Terrorist Organization began with locating the headquarters of the Top Terrorist Organization.

Which many knew… was in London.

While this seemed to be an open secret, London itself was no shallow city and the Top Terrorist Organization’s headquarters was nowhere in sight. Some hence deduced that the Top Terrorist Organization’s headquarters was not in London, and their London ‘headquarters’ was merely a ruse.

The ultimate purpose of the ruse was to conceal the actual location of the Top Terrorist Organization, and there were many varying accounts about it. The Top Terrorist Organization and the Mafia were closely related by marriage, and they once had a spectacular wedding in Rome that led some to guess that its headquarters was actually in Rome.

Despite the many years the anti-terrorist groups spent investigating, they reached no conclusion. Since that was the only piece of evidence they had, it was not enough to take them down, and the anti-terrorist groups hence held their horses.

With the Mo brothers still the godfathers of the Mafia, both underworld organizations, although closely related, had different spheres of influence and developmental directions. Not anybody would dare to startle these two behemoths lest they took on the entire underworld.

Silver Cloud seemed overconfident to take Ye Ningyuan on.

His purpose was not to take down the Top Terrorist Organization but to only kill Ye Ningyuan. Ye Ningyuan, perhaps, had once killed somebody important to him.

Blood feuds were one too common in the underworld.

Bloodshed and death were common amongst those who lurked in the underworld, and one’s death could only be attributed to said person’s inability. If somebody wanted to avenge the dead person, that was none of the deceased person’s business.

She coldly laughed. If she died, she did not hope that somebody would avenge her.

But…

Nobody in the world seemed to care about her death. Given how huge the world was, finding shelter was never too easy.

Two nights later, An Xunuo encountered Ye Ningyuan at an antique shop in the south side of Muscat. Their encounter was purely coincidental as she, out of her boredom, went for a stroll and did not expect to encounter him.

Ye Ningyuan was happily chatting with the middle-aged boss about a palm-sized antique mirror that was covered in gold and had a cat’s-eye in its middle and ancient Greek inscriptions at its base. The mirror was very intricately made. She stood with arms crossed. What he was doing with something girls liked?

She then recalled how Ye Ningyuan seemed to really love his mother and younger sister and would never fail to get things for them from wherever he went. He would also go to lengths to get what they liked.

She recalled the auction and felt her chest. The ‘Romantic Heart’ necklace was still on her chest and she recalled how she wanted to remove the necklace when she was suntanning the day before but did not. This was a really beautiful necklace, and it would be a shame if she lost it.

In the end, she did not remove it.

He bought plenty of things for her—no, it was for that little idiot instead. An Xunuo had a cold smile and turned around. Ye Ningyuan also happened to turn to see her after scamming the mirror from the shopkeeper.

Ye Ningyuan left his address for the shop owner to deliver it. Then, he caught up with her and called out to her. “You’re still in Muscat?”

“You’ve got a problem with that?”

Ye Ningyuan gently smiled. “I thought you had already left Muscat.”

The city was not particularly busy, and it felt stifling. Xunuo, who was not in a good mood, would not like the city.

An Xunuo did not reply to him, and the two walked side by side. She quietly walked on with a cold and mocking look. The atmosphere seemed solemn, and Ye Ningyuan shook his head. He suddenly missed the adorable and lovely An Xunuo.

“Why are you still in Muscat?” An Xunuo coldly asked.

“The situation in the Middle East is still unstable, and it’s a time of perpetual troubles, really. What else can I do?” Ye Ningyuan smiled and looked at her deeply. “All thanks to you.”

“Hmmph! How is it my business?” An Xunuo replied with impunity as though she had nothing to do with it. How did she have anything to do with the chaos rocking Europe that directly affected the Middle East?

She was just the cause of it all.

For him to personally tend to the Middle Eastern affairs made it seem as though the effect it had was not small. What An Xunuo did not know was how White Tiger was actually able to see to the huge problem in the Middle East and how he was here simply because he needed an excuse to get her out of London. While she was indeed besieged, he did not expect her to be this tough-as-nails and not ask for help. If he did not help her, he would have to jailbreak her out.

“Miss An, there is something I ought to clarify for the sake of my safety. Are you still out for my head?” he asked with a smile as he looked at her gently.

“When I’m in the mood.” An Xunuo was expressionless.

“That said, you still want to kill me?” Ye Ningyuan sighed. “Ah, begetting kindness with evil is such a virtue indeed.”

“I did not ask you to save me.” An Xunuo coldly harrumphed.

Ye Ningyuan broke into loud laughter and joked. “Those that smite their fathers ought to be struck down with lightning.”
