Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1992 - 2055: Do You Dare?

On the way back, the Saintess kept occasionally lifting her hand to look at the ring on the ring finger of her right hand. Generally, unmarried people wear rings on other fingers; only engaged or married people wear them on the ring finger. Her action warmed Li Yifei’s heart.

However, on the ride back, the two were bound to face a major battle, and because of this, when the Saintess saw the ring, she suddenly wanted it. Being the Saintess of the Holy War Organization, the wealth she controls can rival a nation. She can get whatever she desires, yet she still asked Li Yifei for this ring. Similarly, Li Yifei would usually not openly compete with a bunch of ordinary people for a common ring, if it weren’t for the Saintess wanting it, because they’re facing a major battle tomorrow.

Li Yifei turned his head to glance, finding the Saintess’s gaze somewhat absent-minded. Although she was looking at the ring, she was clearly distracted. Li Yifei lowered his body, signaling that the Saintess could rest her head.

On the way back, the two remained silent. The journey wasn’t long, and it wouldn’t take much time to return to the hotel, where they might return to their respective rooms to focus on adjusting their bodies, preparing for tomorrow’s major battle.

Midway, the Saintess opened her eyes and softly said, "Do you think there will be any surprises tomorrow?"

"Surprises?" Li Yifei lowered his head, glancing at the Saintess already resting on his shoulder, smiled, and said, "Are you saying other forces might get involved?"

"Yes, we don’t know who leaked this news. If someone intends to harm us, we’re completely unaware. After all, this isn’t our turf."

"Indeed, we need to fully immerse ourselves in the battle, without any distractions. However, the specific timing and location of the battle must be decided by us. To be on the safe side, let’s first probe tomorrow." Li Yifei said.

"Hmm!" The Saintess nodded lightly and then fell silent again.

After a while, she raised her hand again and said, "I really like this ring. It’s the best gift I’ve received since childhood."

"Is it? As long as you like it." Li Yifei said.

"How many rings have you given away?" The Saintess asked.

"Well..." Li Yifei mentally counted. Theoretically, every woman in his family would have a ring, as only Xu Yingying had a formal wedding with him. But even Meng Xiaofei had a ring, and some had more than one. Typically, when Li Yifei goes out, he brings back some gifts, so he couldn’t count them all.

"Had I known you were so untrustworthy, I wouldn’t have chosen you to be my inner demon," the Saintess sighed softly. She already knew the answer to the previous question. She just wanted to start a conversation or maybe to express a slight complaint.

Li Yifei still remembered the time he and the Saintess hid in the mountains. Back then, the Saintess was an enchantress, captivatingly charming. Her presence made Xu Yingying, Su Mengxin, and others feel a certain pressure. But this time, the Saintess was trying to become more of an ordinary woman—two different characters and experiences. Of course, a woman cannot have just one side. If asked to choose, Li Yifei liked both.

"Some things are destined." Li Yifei replied.

Indeed, the Saintess nodded softly, some things are destined, like her choosing Li Yifei to become her inner demon.

"Why don’t you let me kill you tomorrow?" The Saintess’s tone suddenly had a playful hint, and she lightly tickled Li Yifei’s arm with her right fingers, like a mischievous little cat.

Li Yifei chuckled lightly and said, "Okay."

"Really?"

"But I think if you kill me, you’ll follow me soon enough!" Li Yifei said.

"Why?" The Saintess asked.

Li Yifei continued, "Don’t you love me?"

"Why would loving you mean I have to follow you in death?"

"To kill your own beloved... never mind, let’s not talk about this. If I had no ties and you killed me, so be it. If it helps you break your inner demon and advance, I can make that sacrifice. Unfortunately, I’m not free and have more responsibilities, so..."

"Can’t you just soothe me a bit, make me happy?" The Saintess’s tone shifted, carrying more resentment.

"Alright, alright, I’ll say something nice, okay?" Li Yifei nodded quickly, then added, "If I said I never thought about what would happen after you killed me, would you bite me?"

"Why?"

"Because it’s impossible. There are many reasons, like you want to kill me but unfortunately, you can’t beat me, or maybe your heart softens and you let me go tomorrow, or perhaps you’re secretly hoping to be defeated by me so we can settle down together and have a bunch of chubby boys—hey, hey, why are you pinching me?"

The Holy Lady had pinched him enough and turned her head away, ignoring Li Yifei. Despite him calling out a few times, she didn’t respond, leaving Li Yifei to mutter under his breath, "I really didn’t think much about it. I was passively chosen by you, and... hey, one moment you’re a cat, the next you’re a dog, now you’re biting?"

Li Yifei looked down at the Holy Lady who had suddenly turned around and jumped on him, biting his forearm forcefully. Although he was talking, Li Yifei didn’t resist, letting the Holy Lady vent her anger.

The director, who had been hit, woke up to find that the two of them were gone. Infuriated, he immediately checked the surveillance and had people trace them to the bus station. After confirming they were headed to Vienna, he quickly sent people to follow them. As Li Yifei and the Holy Lady both had something on their minds, they failed to notice they were being tailed all the way to the hotel, and naturally didn’t realize it once they were back in their room.

Meanwhile, the director gathered a large group to chase after them. It was no longer just about retrieving the sapphire ring; he wanted revenge. He even had people bring guns. At the same time, after identifying Li Yifei and the Holy Lady’s residence, he also contacted a local gang in Vienna. Knowing that the Huaxia man’s skills were formidable, he believed it was wise to call in more people as a precaution.

This director wasn’t Austrian; he was Italian, and it was well known that the Italian Mafia had a strong influence, even in the United States, Japan, and across Europe. He himself was from the Italian Mafia, even the son of a boss, and with his wide network, reaching out to a gang in Vienna was easy. He offered a price of fifty thousand euros that was hard to refuse.

"Hmph, dare to mess with me, and I’ll make you pay!" The director, holding his phone, had a murderous look in his eyes. Then, he instructed his men, "Keep a tight watch on them. Don’t let them escape. Once it’s done, I’ll treat you all to a full service!"

Outside the door, Li Yifei leaned against the door, admiring the Holy Lady who had changed into a different set of clothes, looking beautiful, sexy, and charming. He then smiled and invited, "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of inviting you to dinner tonight?"

"Oh, sorry, I have a husband who doesn’t like me socializing with other men." The Holy Lady glanced at him playfully, her eyes sparkling. She had even applied makeup, a light touch that made her appearance even more dazzling.

Li Yifei was taken aback, rubbed his nose with a smile, and nodded, "Alright, in that case, I was being presumptuous."

With that, Li Yifei turned to leave. The Holy Lady looked surprised, expecting Li Yifei to continue his cheeky act and play along, but was caught off guard when he simply backed down.

"Hey!" Seeing Li Yifei had walked several steps away, the Holy Lady called out from behind. Li Yifei stopped, turned around, and saw her pouting, leaning against the door with an aggrieved look.

Li Yifei walked back, extended his hand, and said, "Let’s go, let’s eat. Oh, by the way, I’m that husband you mentioned." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The Holy Lady rolled her eyes, took his hand, and complained, "It’s the last night, and you didn’t even play along with me."

"It’s the last night, and you didn’t even suggest a quickie. Shamelessly accusing me." Li Yifei replied.

"A quickie? What do you mean?" The Holy Lady clearly didn’t understand at first, but seeing the mischievous grin on Li Yifei’s face, she pushed him playfully and said, "Perverted guy, your mind is full of filth. If you beat me, everything’s yours. But if you lose, there’s no point in a quickie, and besides..."

"Besides what?"

"Are you brave enough to take on the consequences if I dare to offer them?" The Holy Lady asked.

Oh, does she know about the Worm? Li Yifei wondered, shaking his head internally. There was no reason for the Holy Lady to know about that, so what was she implying?

Li Yifei chose to pretend he didn’t understand, and the Holy Lady didn’t pursue the topic further.

The two walked out together. Li Yifei had just checked online and decided to go out to eat, find a unique place, have a good meal, and return to rest. Tomorrow, they’d find a good place to have a proper fight, to settle things once and for all.

Just as they stepped out, the individuals waiting outside immediately sent a message. The director, just arriving in Vienna, upon hearing the news, ordered, "Keep an eye on them, be careful not to alert them. Wait until I get there."

Upon learning that the two had gotten into a Bugatti Veyron, the director muttered to himself, "So they’re wealthy too? Damn, having money doesn’t mean you can mess with me. I’ll take you down just the same!"

He’d come all this way just to settle the score. Daring to lay hands on him and disrespect him, he wanted them to know that here in Austria, in Europe, he was the one who called the shots!
