Junyue Fuyuan, in the city of Tianhai, is a high-end, high-priced area where many people cannot earn the value of a plot the size of a coffin slat in their entire lifetime.

Only the rich or the noble can afford to live in Junyue Fuyuan. Therefore, the security here is naturally top-notch. Yet, surprisingly, a woman has managed to sneak into a three-floor French-style mansion located in the center of the community's green area without being detected by the three patrolling security teams!

The moment the woman stealthily entered the villa, a long-toothed dagger was immediately held to her throat. However, instead of being frightened, she seemed rather pleased.

"Wang, I finally found you!"

She was dressed in a striking red dress, her flawless, fair skin resembled ivory beneath her golden hair. Her stunningly beautiful face under her golden hair was filled with hardly concealed excitement.

"Athena? What brings you to China?"

As soon as he recognized the woman's voice, the young man holding the dagger against her relaxed his alert guard. He put down the dagger and looked at her with mild surprise.

"Wang, can't I come to see you if there's no issue? Are you allowed to run away and leave me behind, while I can't come to China to see you?"

The woman's eyes, as blue as the sea, seemed to mist up as if deeply hurt by the young man's remarks, looking truly pitiable.

"Let's talk inside, stop showing off your acting skills. Even Hollywood actresses would call you their master. I can't handle a little demon like you!"

Ye Tianlong, with a somewhat overwhelmed expression, did not dare to look at the woman. He headed directly into the villa. The woman did not get angry. Her tears were quickly restrained as she hurried to match his pace.

Moments later, inside the villa's living room, Ye Tianlong was staring at a stack of documents in his hand with a serious expression.

"The diamond mine owned by Tilis was confirmed to belong to Blood Wolf Palace. Are they looking for trouble?"

A murderous intent was evident on Ye Tianlong's face. On the other hand, Athena, who was watching this scene unfold, had a cunning glint in her eyes.

"Wang, the struggle over the diamond mine is only a trivial matter. What's key is our collaboration with the God of Wealth. While the Soros family might be the world's top financial tycoon, and the God of Wealth has a good relationship with you, after your recent disappearance, the Sun God is trying to meddle!"

"If you were here, he wouldn't dare to do anything, but the key is you're not. Even the God of Fortune doesn't want to offend the Sun God! Seventy percent of the Blood Wolf Temple's income comes from cooperating with the Soros family. If you don't go back, we'll all be left out in the cold!"

Athena spoke out with a "look of grief and anger", and after hearing her, Ye Tianlong also frowned. If it were just a diamond mine, it would only amount to several billion dollars.

He didn't need to rack his brain over it, but the cooperation with the Soros family was the lifeblood of the Blood Wolf Temple's income!

"What kind of fool is Jester? Even the Queen of England dares not to grab my stuff. How dare a mere count like him take my things!”

As he continued to read the information on the recent troubles of the Blood Wolf Temple, Ye Tianlong became furious. After all, this was one of the top ten god courts in the West.

When did some second-rate mercenary groups dare to cross him? Have they become tired of living?

"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't retaliate, but with your absence from the Blood Wolf Temple, everyone is anxious. Who dares to deal with the Sun Temple rashly?"

"Moreover, in North Africa, Chief Kojins hopes you can deter the local rebel forces. He will provide two top-grade gold mines.

And also, he said as long as you agree to take action, under his throne, you will be the primary duke…”

Athena was impassioned. Everyone knew that the King of Blood Wolves wasn't interested in anything but gold.

Inviting the King of Blood Wolves for a task, nothing could persuade him better than a gold mine, especially when Kojins is offering two top-grade ones!

But just as she finished speaking, Ye Tianlong, who had been frowning, turned his gaze on her, his eyes carrying a deep meaning.

Being stared at like this by Ye Tianlong, Athena had a bad feeling. She had said too much, and the king had noticed it!

"Good job, little demon, even dare to deceive the king. I give you one more chance, if you don't tell the truth, I'll send you back right away!"

Ye Tianlong immediately became serious. He had been wary of this little demon Athena from the start, but he didn't expect that he still fell into her trap!

However, you can't blame him. The Blood Wolf Hall has been treading on thin ice in the West. Every one of the ten Western God Courts has a history of hundreds of years, and the Blood Wolf Hall is the only force among them that has risen to prominence within the last decade.

That was all thanks to the formidable reputation created single-handedly by Ye Tianlong, the Blood Wolf. Given the inadequate foundations of the Blood Wolf Hall, he naturally worried about disturbances during his absence!

"Really, can't you just neglect this once? I was quickly discovered by you!"

Athena shyly spoke out, clearly annoyed that her carefully crafted plan to trick Ye Tianlong into returning to the West was easily seen through!

"Little Fairy, when I, your king, tricked the Cambridge Economics Professor into transferring all his savings into my account, you hadn't even entered the scene!"

Ye Tianlong glared at the woman in front of him, his face showing a touch of helplessness. These fellows had really gone all out to trick him back!

After being found out, Athena did not feel awkward. Instead, admiration shone in her eyes. If Ye couldn't see through these little tricks, he wouldn't be her king. Her king was capable of anything!

Glancing at Ye Tianlong, Athena bit her red lips slightly, her jade hand ready to slide down the dress straps. But before her hand could reach the dress, Ye Tianlong had firmly grasped her hand.

"You little fairy, dares to flirt with the king without my teaching for a few days?"

"Get lost, I am a married man, don't make me make mistakes. You don't realize how beautiful you are, this is tempting me to make mistakes! If I abandon you after taking advantage of you, there will be nowhere for you to cry!"

Looking at the woman who was snuggling into his arms like a seductress, Ye Tianlong was just as overwhelmed.

Athena's feelings for him, he was aware of them. Otherwise, why would he leave without saying goodbye? She was such a disaster, even coming all the way to China!

"My King, even if you don’t take responsibility, I'm willing. It's an honor for a man as outstanding as you to have feelings for me!"

Ignoring her words, Ye Tianlong quickly fixed her dress straps.

"You don't need to bother about China's affairs. I've already left Blood Wolf Hall, you mustn't continue to create trouble. As for that old Sun God who killed his son, you must be cautious of him when you return. If he can't get at me, he'll inevitably vent his anger on you!"

"How can a man say he can't do it?" Ye Tianlong patted the head of Athena, he dare not let this enchanting girl stay here.

"But..."

Athena wanted to say something more, but Ye Tianlong waved his hand, putting away his playful smile.

"There are no buts. Now, in the name of the Blood Wolf, I command you, the Scarlet Blade, to return to the Blood Wolf Hall immediately!"

Ye Tianlong took out a wolf-head badge tinted in blood color that hung around his neck. Upon the ferocious wolf head, a deeply indented bullet hole was visible!

That time, Ye Tianlong took a bullet for Athena. If it wasn't for the Blood Wolf badge that protected his heart, he would have died! So, every time he took out the Blood Wolf badge, it represented there was no room for negotiation!

Athena glanced at Ye Tianlong, her beautiful face showed deep perplexity and grievance, unlike her previous pretensions. Real tears formed a line from the corner of her eyes, falling incessantly!

"Ye Tianlong, I hate you!"

Athena was in tears, her lips were bitten till blood seeped out, looking at Ye Tianlong's face which showed no room for negotiation.

"Return home, China is not a place you can come to. This place is different from the West!"

Ye Tianlong motioned, and the crimson shadow could no longer hold back, sprinting away from the villa in a few leaps.

"Silly girl, you are only eighteen years old, what do you know about love? In a few years, you will forget about this cold-hearted person..."

Watching Athena leave, Ye Tianlong shook his head. He did not want to hurt the little enchantress, but if she stayed now and grew deeper feelings for him in the future, it might cause her greater pain. It is better to suffer short-term pain than long-term pain!

...

"Honk!"

Not long after Athena had left, a honk of a car resonated outside the villa's main entrance. Upon hearing this sound, Ye Tianlong's face instantly lit up with a pleasing smile, and he quickly rushed towards the entrance!

Just as Ye Tianlong opened the gate, a red Porsche Cayenne sprang to life outside the gate, doing a stylish tailspin that grazed past him as it drove into the villa.

However, Ye Tianlong was completely unconcerned by this. He closed the gate, quickly grabbed the umbrella hanging nearby, and hurriedly trotted towards the carport!

"Honey... Qingyi, why are you home from work so early today?"

Before he could finish his greeting, seeing the cold expression on the woman's face, he quickly amended himself. The woman rolled down the car window with no courtesy and grabbed the umbrella from his hand, her face showing clear irritation!

"You made me wait this long just to open the door and fetch an umbrella. You're at home all day and can't even do this small task properly, what good are you?”

"Do I need to report to you when I decide to return to my house?"

The woman put a heavy emphasis on the words "my house", giving Ye Tianlong an embarrassed look. However, he quickly covered it up with a smile.

"No need, no need, Qingyi, you can return whenever you want. If you return early, I would be happy!"

As he said this, Ye Tianlong quickly bent over and opened the car door for Xiao Qingyi. Seeing the submissive look of the man in front of her only served to further annoy Xiao Qingyi. A grown man spending his days at home; he's nothing more than a good-for-nothing!

"Go clean the car, I'm going out later!"

Xiao Qingyi opened her umbrella and, paying no more attention to Ye Tianlong, sashayed towards the villa with her long legs.

"Qingyi, I'll clean it right away. The fridge already has your favorite cherries, which I've specially prepared. You can have it when you get back to cool off!"

Yet, even as the woman bossed him around, Ye Tianlong wasn't displeased in the least. On the contrary, he spoke to her in a sincere and eager manner.
