The Protectorate is the largest power in Huaxia, tasked with guarding the nation's foundation and using force to deter foreign forces!

At the same time, the Protectorate is extremely formidable, otherwise, they wouldn't be feared both domestically and abroad.

Olivia had never thought about what would happen if someone killed a member of the Protectorate, but he knows the Protectorate would never let it slide, and would definitely think someone is provoking them!

Now Ye Xunhuan says he's killed a member of the Protectorate.

Although Ye Xunhuan used the word "if," Olivia knows Ye Xunhuan well enough to understand that if it were really just hypothetical, Ye Xunhuan wouldn't have asked him like this.

In the next moment, after Olivia snapped out of it, he slightly moved his throat, then looked at Ye Xunhuan with shock all over his face, and said, "You killed a Protectorate member?"

Ye Xunhuan chuckled bitterly and nodded.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan nod, Olivia was completely dumbfounded.

It took a long while for him to come to his senses.

After regaining consciousness, Olivia squeezed out two words: "Amazing!"

"I didn't want to, but he insisted on courting death. What could I possibly do?" Ye Xunhuan said with a face full of helplessness.

He indeed did not want to kill Xuan Shuangzi, but previously, it was Xuan Shuangzi who obstinately sought his own death.

If back then Xuan Shuangzi had ignored Qi Tiansheng, then Xuan Shuangzi wouldn't have died.

But in this world, there is no 'if'; there are only results and consequences.

Olivia took a deep breath, calming his somewhat stirred emotions, and said slowly, "I don't know what exactly will happen!"

"But one thing's for sure: you'll certainly face a trial by the Three Halls!" Olivia said emphatically. "No matter how cleanly you did it, you'll still be faced with a trial by the Three Halls!"

"Even I might be interrogated by your Protectorate!"

"No way?"

"In the whole city of Jiangzhong, who do you think, besides the two of us, could possibly kill a member of the Protectorate?" Olivia said with a bitter smile.

Ye Xunhuan remained silent.

What Olivia said wasn't wrong; presently, aside from the two of them possessing such capability, seemingly no one else could accomplish it.

"However, as long as you did it cleanly, even if they come to interrogate, just hold your ground and don't admit anything, and nothing will happen." Olivia said forcefully, "After all, Huaxia is a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, not all masters join the Protectorate!"

"Of course, if things do get exposed, I'll take the fall for you."

"You..."

"I'll admit it, and then just head back to Europe, can they really send someone to Europe to kill me?" Olivia said casually, "If they aren't afraid of returning empty-handed, then I don't really mind!"

With Olivia's words echoing in his ears, Ye Xunhuan's heart was filled with gratitude.

He knows Olivia is taking the blame for him because of his current situation.

After all, he is now married, not alone, he has attachments and ties!

If forced to flee abroad, it's inevitable some might target the people around him.

Ye Xunhuan understands Olivia's intentions, hence his heart is filled with gratitude.

"Thank you!" Ye Xunhuan said gratefully, "But don't worry, even if something happens, I won't drag you down, at worst, I'll face them head-on!"

Though Ye Xunhuan does not wish to clash with the Protectorate, if push comes to shove where he must confront them, he certainly won't retreat.

A real man knows what should and shouldn't be done!

"I'm just speaking of the worst-case scenario." Olivia said softly, "As long as you handled it cleanly, and they have no evidence, even if they suspect, they can't act against you or me!"

"The Qin family holds a decent status in Huaxia, and both of us reign as underground world overlords, strictly speaking, we don't belong to Huaxia's forces; we are affiliated with Europe. If they act against us on trumped-up charges it's tantamount to declaring war on Europe!" Olivia said emphatically, "I don't think they want to disturb the current balance, right?"

"Do the two of us represent Europe?"

"Of course not!" Olivia rolled his eyes at Ye Xunhuan, "But if they act against us on baseless accusations, what will other overlords think? How will other powers view this?"

Upon hearing Olivia's words, Ye Xunhuan's eyes immediately lit up!

Indeed, the two of them are overlords; if taken down or even killed by the Protectorate on false charges, other overlords would surely feel ill at ease!

And some war-loving fanatics might make an issue out of this.

"But, did you clean it up?" Olivia's tone shifted, "If you didn't clean up well, either we run now or wash our necks clean and wait for them to come!"

"Would I leave traces?" Ye Xunhuan said confidently, "Don't worry, they can't find out anything, and I used the Bai Shou Tai Xuan Technique to kill him!"

"It's said this Bai Shou Tai Xuan Technique is incomplete now, besides the one from twenty years ago who mastered it to perfection, no one else has!"

"You're really sly!" Olivia couldn't help but laugh!

"I learned it from you!"

"Adorably despicable!" Olivia's smile grew even more pronounced, "If they figure out it's Bai Shou Tai Xuan Technique swordsmanship, then your Protectorate..."

Olivia's tone shifted, "How I wish to see their expressions as if they've eaten shit!"

The Evil Lord back then made an indelible impression on the Protectorate, now the exclusive Bai Shou Tai Xuan Technique reappears, and if it's used to kill a Protectorate member, then the whole Protectorate will surely be turned on its head.

...

The next day, Ye Xunhuan acted like nothing had happened, going to work as usual, as if nothing ever took place.

Indeed, Ye Xunhuan seemed unaffected, but Dongfang Qingyu began to panic and get uneasy.

Qi Tiansheng went out last night and hasn't returned yet.

Moreover, Dongfang Qingyu knows Qi Tiansheng went to find Ye Xunhuan, intending to teach Ye Xunhuan a lesson.

But now, it's turned out Ye Xunhuan went to work, yet Qi Tiansheng is nowhere to be found.

This caused a bad feeling to gradually emerge in Dongfang Qingyu's heart.

It made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Dongfang Qingyu knows well what Qi Tiansheng means to the entire Qi family.

If Qi Tiansheng was slain by Ye Xunhuan, then the Qi family would definitely explode into chaos.

And Qi Tiansheng went to Jiangzhong entirely because Wu Lanqin sent him, concerning Dongfang Shu Fei.

In other words, this matter is unrelated to the Dongfang family.

Dongfang Qingyu wants to ask Ye Xunhuan, but is also reluctant, and even if he asks, would Ye Xunhuan tell the truth?

After pondering for a long time, Dongfang Qingyu had no choice but to take out his phone, prepared to contact Wu Lanqin!
