Chapter 64
Artoria felt a burning sensation in her chest right now.
As the most anticipated successor of a police family, when had she ever been subjected to such filthy language?
She had seen the look in Ye Yu's eyes earlier and knew he might demand harsh conditions. But she never imagined he would start with such outrageous, wolfish words!
"I don't like forcing people. If you won't agree, then forget it!"
Ye Yu shrugged indifferently and stood up as if preparing to leave.
"Wait!"
Artoria gritted her teeth, then looked at him with a pleading expression.
"Can you change the condition? This one is really too harsh—I truly can't accept it! Besides… Heaven granted you such power surely so you could save others, right?"
Artoria trying to guilt-trip him with morality?
This was actually kind of interesting!
"No changing it. I like exactly this look of yours—when you can't accept it. I hope when you're lying awake at night, thinking about all those innocent colleagues who could have been saved but died because of you… you can still sleep soundly!"
Saying this, he glanced at the giant bird flying toward them again and spoke in a mocking tone.
"Of course, maybe the rescue team will defeat the big bird and save them all—who knows!"
Artoria stared at him intently.
"Don't you have any compassion at all? As long as you save them, every one of us will be grateful to you!"
Ye Yu smiled and slowly looked Artoria up and down.
Right now, her face was pale from excessive blood loss, and her expression of despair added a touch of tragic beauty to her stunning features.
"I'm only interested in you. Whether the others live or die has nothing to do with me. Looks like you're not planning to let me save them. Then I wish you all good luck!"
With that, Ye Yu turned to leave. Just as Artoria was about to call out to him—
That same palpitating sense of crisis struck again. Then she saw another familiar massive fireball swallowing everything around them once more.
BOOM…
The destructive power from above made her feel like her heart was about to stop.
But strangely, an invisible force appeared around her, directly blocking the flames!
Soon the smoke cleared, and she realized although she herself was unharmed, the small patch of rubble right beside her had completely vanished.
What about the colleagues who had just been trapped there?
"Tsk tsk… because of you, another five of your comrades just died. Officer Artoria, your life really is valuable! Don't say I'm heartless—I just saved you again!"
Ye Yu spoke with a smile.
Hearing that five more comrades had died, Artoria felt her heart sink.
Then, watching Ye Yu walk farther away, her eyes grew moist.
She shouted after him:
"I agree!"
Hearing her words, Ye Yu smiled faintly.
Then he waved his right hand, unleashing powerful telekinesis.
Artoria watched as the shattered building fragments slowly rose into the air.
Soon, the survivors buried underneath were all revealed.
Though most of them were gravely injured.
Seeing those familiar faces, Artoria dragged her exhausted body forward, but Ye Yu directly pulled her into his arms.
"Rest easy. I'll save them."
Hearing this, Artoria's body slowly went limp, and she fainted.
Her injuries were severe. The fact that she had managed to talk to Ye Yu for so long already showed incredible willpower.
Ye Yu began treating her wounds. Soon her face gradually regained color.
After placing the other rescued survivors safely aside and performing a group healing to ensure they wouldn't die, Ye Yu carried Artoria and used instant teleportation.
He couldn't go home—the quintuplets were probably waiting for him there. Bringing Artoria back would cause all kinds of misunderstandings, and things definitely wouldn't be able to proceed.
So there was only one place he could go.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yu appeared inside a luxurious villa.
It was the one Lazuli had previously owned.
But right now, she wasn't inside.
Only some maids were cleaning.
Ye Yu looked at one of the maids and spoke calmly.
"Everyone, get out. Without my order, no one is allowed to come in."
Hearing these familiar words, the maid was stunned.
Who is this woman he's carrying?
Lazuli-sama was such a proud person, and she had finally found a boyfriend. Yet this man was already bringing another woman back to Lazuli-sama's house!
She felt her fists clench!
But reason made her obey Ye Yu's words.
However, the moment she left, she pulled out her phone to report to Lazuli.
When Lazuli heard this, she was both shocked and furious!
Shocked that Ye Yu had come back so quickly— if she hadn't left, she probably would have fallen into his clutches again!
Furious that this was her house, and he was bringing another woman here.
Given his personality, what he was going to do next didn't need to be said!
Thinking of him and another woman turning her home upside down, she felt like vomiting.
You really don't see me as a person!
"Bastard, I will make you beg for death!"
Lazuli's eyes blazed with fury. Then she directly dialed a number.
"Start the operation ahead of schedule. Be careful—don't harm those people!"
Lazuli had already moved Lapis to safety. At the same time, she had gathered a lot of information on Ye Yu.
Since he hadn't hidden his identity, it was easy to find out: He was neighbors with the Nakano quintuplets, and one of them was his girlfriend. He was also dating the eldest daughter of the Tokisaki family! Additionally, he had entered the police station together with a woman named Ibuki Mio and Karuizawa Kei. According to eyewitnesses, their behavior was extremely intimate. Analysis suggested she was likely another one of his girlfriends.
Thinking of how many women he had, Lazuli wanted to cut him into pieces.
Except for the Tokisaki family's eldest daughter, whom she couldn't touch, she planned to capture all the other girls.
You like threatening people? Then I'll capture all your girlfriends. Let's see how arrogant you can stay then!
…
Artoria slowly opened her eyes.
She saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
Then she felt someone holding her waist.
And she was under the covers… seemingly without any clothes!
Her heart jolted in shock. Just as she tried to sit up, she heard a familiar voice.
"You're awake?"
Turning her head, she saw Ye Yu smiling at her.
"Where am I? What happened to them? Did you save them?"
"They're all saved. As for where this is…"
Ye Yu pulled her directly into his arms, his right hand resting on her slender waist.
"Of course—it's the place where you fulfill your promise!"
