Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2000 - 2063: Holy War Organization

Three days later, the Saintess sent back word that there was news about the child.

Li Yifei and Su Mengxin’s child had indeed been kidnapped by people from the Holy War Organization. The Saintess expressed deep apologies for this, repeatedly stating that she truly did not know about this matter; otherwise, she would never have tolerated it.

Li Yifei did not ignore this matter, but he chose to overlook it, so he quickly said, "Yanzi, I don’t blame you for this. I trust your character. If you had known about these things, you would have definitely told me, and you’re already helping me investigate. I’m very grateful to you."

"Yifei, between us... please don’t say thank you," the Saintess hurriedly replied. "Also, please understand that I cannot openly investigate and can only look into matters secretly, so the progress may not be quick."

Li Yifei smiled slightly and said with understanding, "I understand. We’re not exactly in a hurry. After enduring so many days, we certainly won’t lose patience in the coming days."

"That’s good. As soon as there is new information, I will immediately inform you. Your thinking is correct; a direct conflict with my organization is not advisable. Uh, I don’t mean you’re not qualified, but there are indeed many considerations for you!"

"I understand, which is why I’m relying on you. I do hate some people in the Holy War Organization for targeting an innocent child, but I also know the timing is not right now. I can’t challenge such a gigantic organization, but I must rescue the child. Please understand this as well," Li Yifei said firmly.

The Saintess softly hummed with her nose, paused briefly, and then continued, "Rest assured, I will definitely help you. If there’s no other option, I will confront them, but that is the last resort. If it can be avoided, it should be, after all..."

After all, you are the Saintess of the Holy War Organization now, and from the organization’s perspective, the Saintess cannot use this method, otherwise it would provoke great anger within many people in the organization.

The Saintess has been having a tough time these days. After returning to the organization’s headquarters, she behaved normally, met with the Elders of the Elder’s Court, and explained herself. As a special existence, the Elders generally respect her, but the Saintess understands that this respect is based on her usefulness. If she becomes useless, this respect will no longer exist, and she could immediately fall to the ground.

Regarding her tie with Li Yifei, two or three Elders expressed dissatisfaction, thinking that the Saintess was not trying hard enough, even questioning if she was going easy because she had fallen in love with Li Yifei. At that time, the Saintess responded, "There were several reasons for the draw this time. First, for some unknown reason, Li Yifei was distracted during the fight and didn’t give his all. Even if she won, she could not conquer the heart demon, as the heart demon requires the beloved person to also give their all. Only then, being defeated, will the heart demon willingly fade; otherwise, killing Li Yifei at that time would be useless. The second reason is that the Saintess was indeed not as strong as Li Yifei, which she didn’t hide much in front of the Elders; she directly admitted that she was indeed inferior to Li Yifei, even though she had already invoked the heart demon. The boost from the heart demon made her outwardly seem aggressive, but during their first encounter that day, by the end, she was already struggling, while Li Yifei still had strong combat power."

Once the Saintess left, several Elders voiced their dissatisfaction, though some Elders understood the Saintess, and finally, three Elders gathered together. These three were naturally involved in the plan to kidnap Li Yifei’s child. One was named Andrew, another Babua, and the third was the Great Elder of the Holy War Organization, named Andisto. All three were members of the Elder’s Court, with the Great Elder having significant authority.

His age was advanced enough to have witnessed three generations of Saintesses; the first two were cultivated, or rather trained, by him. Unfortunately, the first two Saintesses chose similarly strong heart demons, which prevented them from killing the heart demons during their final battles.

The last generation of the Saintess, Yanzi, was cultivated by another Elder and not by the Great Elder. Cultivating a generation of Saintesses is not easy; it takes at least fifteen years, if not twenty or thirty. If it fails, the loss is too great. With the first two Saintesses failing, it meant the Holy War Organization had not had a true Saintess for several decades.

A Saintess who cannot defeat the heart demon is not a good Saintess or a strong Saintess, which is why this generation’s Saintess carries high expectations. Her aptitude is the best in recent years, reaching a high level at a young age, with hopes to break through to an extremely powerful realm, leading the Holy War Organization to greater glory.

She must not fail, even though the Saintess’s attitude toward this has gradually changed, the organization, especially the Elders, cannot watch her fail. Everyone hopes she can conquer the heart demon, complete her transformation, and reach a higher level, which is a transition from quantitative to qualitative change.

It is for this reason that the Great Elder and others resorted to kidnapping another’s child, just in case.

Actually, there was originally no need for such a measure as, despite Li Yifei’s strength, they didn’t think he would be too much of a disturbance to the Saintess. However, what they never expected was that, within a short period, Li Yifei suddenly erupted, his cultivation soaring rapidly to a terrifying level. First, he achieved monumental feats in Japan, nearly wiping out one of Japan’s two top experts, then went on to challenge Satan, whose rapid rise similarly left the Holy War Organization shocked, ultimately killing Satan.

With these feats, Li Yifei virtually had no match, which worried them. Three Elders were thankful they preemptively kidnapped Li Yifei’s child to distract him during the battle with the Saintess, giving the Saintess an edge to defeat him.

Plans could not keep pace with changes, they hadn’t expected the Saintess to suddenly declare a draw, not continuing to fight Li Yifei. About when the next fight would be, they didn’t know, and neither did the Saintess, only saying that in the current situation, even if she killed Li Yifei, it wouldn’t be possible to conquer the heart demon.

Unexpectedly, using such a method brought another unforeseen event, leaving the Great Elder and others frustrated, yet unable to express their anger to the Saintess. Gathered together, they primarily discussed how the Saintess and Li Yifei’s next battle should play out.

It was clear that the Saintess wanted to face Li Yifei head-on, but in direct combat, the Saintess was clearly at a disadvantage. If they didn’t use other means, a loss for the Saintess would mean they’d need to cultivate another Saintess, which would take another ten to twenty years. The loss was something they couldn’t afford.

"In my view, why not directly talk to Li Yifei, if he dares to defeat the Saintess, we’ll not only kill his child but also all his wives and family." Andrew, a towering white man standing two meters tall with a muscular build, seemed to have an explosive tone in his voice, indicating his rash nature. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Babua nodded in agreement, saying, "I think that could work. With his so-called family posing no real threat, if he doesn’t agree to lose, we’ll send people to eliminate his family."

"When that man goes crazy, he’s trouble," Great Elder Andisto said with a frown.

"Are we afraid of him? The extent of trouble he caused for the Yamaguchi Group was only possible because the Yamaguchi Group was a garbage organization to begin with; they can’t compare to us at all. If he dares to come to the United States, I’ll definitely tear him to pieces," Andrew said, swinging his fists.

Babua grinned and said, "Andrew, you may not be able to defeat him, even if you could, you can’t kill him; this person must be killed by our Saintess."

"Hmph, I know. I was just saying, a small figure like him managed to cause such chaos in the Yamaguchi Group, those fools. I’m truly embarrassed for them," Andrew sneered with disdain, rolling his eyes.

Andisto shook his head and said, "He’s no small figure already, able to defeat the Japanese Martial God and Satan; we couldn’t necessarily find many in our organization who could do so. Therefore, we must be cautious and treat him as an opponent, although indeed, he isn’t a very significant figure."

"Then let’s proceed as I mentioned earlier; regardless, we cannot let the Saintess fail. I don’t want to wait another ten to twenty years, and, frankly, we three might not last that long either," Andrew said.

Andisto remained silent for a while before saying, "Agreed, let’s settle on this for now. The next time the Saintess and Li Yifei battle, this is what we must do; we cannot allow the Saintess to fail."

With the Great Elder’s decisive statement, the other two elders agreed. This matter also could not be let known to the Saintess, as it would affect her frame of mind. With her character, if she knew about these actions, she would definitely not agree.

In the eyes of the Elders, the Saintess was like a spoiled little girl; was her opinion important? Of course not, as long as they could threaten her with the organization’s interests; the Saintess would often compromise, although sometimes, she would stubbornly insist, as in the case with Li Yifei, which is why they could only act in secret.

After deciding, the three Elders each left, and the Saintess returned to her residence. Here, only a few people could be trusted by the Saintess; most people did not follow her orders. Therefore, she had to be careful with her words and actions, representing a lack of freedom, despite having no choice. From a young age, she was sent to the organization and worked hard to be selected as the Saintess. She surpassed all other candidates, became the provisional Saintess, and eventually the actual Saintess, all without having a choice.

Is being a Saintess good or not? This question is difficult to answer. Being above one and below ten thousand certainly feels good, but it isn’t freedom. The Saintess sat by the window, looking out with a deep sense of worry between her brows.
