After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 747 I Will Never Let Him Treat You Like That Again
The decision on whether the guides should stay or leave was quickly made.

Most people want the guide to stay, even without Yu Xia and Ivy here.

They also wouldn't let the guides easily separate from them.

By this point, greed had corrupted their minds, and even the most important guides they once regarded had become part of their power struggles and weighing of pros and cons.

Charles said, “You need not worry, with this Xia Xia Yiwei here, the guides will not be corrupted.”

After saying that, Charles looked at Cather and said, "Is that so, Young Master Cather?"

Kaiser shook Yu Xia's hand and smiled, "Although Xia Xia is Ivy, she has also consumed a lot of power these days and will need a few more days to recover."

Charles said, "Young Master Cather, why don't you introduce yourself to this Ivy and how you met?"

"Tap, tap"

Harrison tapped his fingers on the table absently, a hint of interest on his face.

Yu Xia glanced at him, and for a moment she felt as if she had returned to the time when he looked at her back at the base in the contaminated zone of Setan.

It's like watching your pet animal playing around.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Harrison had shown the same expression when she was disguised as a sea princess, but during that time they only saw each other a few times at meetings and banquets.

Harrison never made any probing communication with her. When she was a sea princess, he treated her as a sea princess. Now that she is Ivy, he still treats her as Ivy.

However, the more indifferent he seemed to be to her, the more cautious Yu Xia became.

All the high-ranking officials sitting here chattering away don't equal the threat Harrison posed to her.

She had a gut feeling that these people were nothing more than convenient tools in Harrison's hands.

"Me and Xiaxia."

Before Cather could speak, hurried footsteps interrupted him.

Sensing the man's violent and terrifying aura, everyone turned to look towards the entrance of the hall.

It's Kleeman.

His face was stained with blood, his combat uniform was torn, and his wounds were exposed to the air, with blood still oozing out and dripping onto the ground as he walked.

He looked like he had just been through a fierce battle.

He didn't even put away the knife in his hand, which was still stained with fresh blood from the alien species.

Yu Xia watched as Kleeman walked towards her like a demon crawling out of the abyss, a worried expression on her face, but a slight smile appeared on her lips.

“Kleeman?” Yu Xia stood up, looking at him in surprise.

Kleeman walked up to her without saying a word, took her hand, and was about to leave.

Cather gripped Yu Xia's other wrist tightly.

In a fit of rage, Kleeman was about to pull Yu Xia away.

Yu Xia cried out in pain as Kleeman pulled her.

Neither of them let go.

Two sentries behind Cather immediately stepped forward and grabbed Kleeman's shoulders, preventing him from taking Yu Xia away.

Hearing Yu Xia's pained expression, Kleeman loosened his grip and shouted angrily at Kaiser, "Let go!"

Catherine's expression turned cold. "We're still in a meeting. I'll take her back after this meeting."

Yu Xia went to see Kleeman.

His eyes were bloodshot, the pupils narrowed into vertical lines, carrying a serpentine, sinister look. The way he looked at Catherine at that moment made it seem as if he might strike him with a knife at any moment.

Yu Xia stepped aside to avoid being hit when he drew his sword.

Harrison noticed Yu Xia's subtle movement and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Everyone watched the two brothers remain locked in a stalemate for a while, then little Ivy spoke up, "Kather, Kleeman is injured. I'll go back with him and help him treat his wound." Kather glanced at her for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, go ahead."

As he spoke, he released her hand.

Kleeman pulled Yu Xia away from the Dragon's Breath Hall.

Everyone watched as little Ivi was pulled along, barely able to keep up with him by jogging.

"Lord Ivy has a really good relationship with you all." Charles's voice brought everyone's thoughts and attention back to the present.

Everyone's gaze towards Cather changed; this was more than just good.

Even they, let alone Ivy, have never been this casual in front of their guides.

Especially after arriving in Obsidian City, the guides became even more irritable. They didn't offer any psychological counseling; they even resorted to violence when they saw them.

They could only hope that Ivy could appease them.

"Why is it hurt like this?"

Yu Xia stood to the side, watching Xize treat Kleeman's wounds.

He was shirtless, with several wounds on his body that looked like they had been scratched by the claws of some wild beast, the flesh torn and bleeding.

One wound on his shoulder was so deep that the bone was visible.

Caesar neatly stitched up his wound without using any pain relief methods.

Kleeman didn't even flinch. This pain was nothing compared to the pain of his severed hand, nor to the pain of the alien species burrowing into his flesh day and night.

"Did he force you to go?" Kleeman ignored his own injuries and was more concerned about Yu Xia being taken to the Dragon's Breath Hall by Cather.

Yu Xia shook her head, "Kather just wanted to take me out for some fresh air and to meet some other people."

She paused, then added, "And..."

Kleeman coldly asked, "What else?"

Yu Xia: "And our enemies."

Nishizawa paused his stitching for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Kleeman's expression darkened further. "What does he want you to do?"

"They didn't tell me what to do, they just told me this." She took a handkerchief and used it to wipe the bloodstains from Kleeman's face. "Kleeman, who are our enemies? Aren't they those aliens?"

Xize's voice broke in, "Director Yu's condition is not very good yet. She'd better not use her abilities again until her mental strength recovers."

This is a reminder to Kleeman.

Last time, when Cather used her to control the Sentinels of Sevi, it drained a lot of her energy and caused her to lose her memory. If it happened again, the result would only be worse than last time.

Kleeman touched Yu Xia's hand to the forehead through the handkerchief. "I won't let him treat you like that again."

After Kather took Yu Xia to the Dragon's Breath Hall, Kleeman stayed by Yu Xia's side almost every step of the way.

Kleeman no longer kept Yu Xia in the room to eat, read, and sleep as before, but instead took her around to play through the portals.

They went to bustling cities, ate at crowded but lively night markets, watched games at stadiums, and listened to the clamor of the crowds.

Besides eating and having fun, Kleeman took Yu Xia to many different cities.

Every time I take Yu Xia to a new place, I ask her, "Do you like it here?"

Yu Xia gradually discerned the purpose, or rather, the vision, hidden within Kleeman's inquiries.

Kleeman wanted to take her away, but his destination was no longer the Serpent Clan.

"I like them all."

Once again teleported to a city with plenty of sunshine and a spring-like warmth, Yu Xia said, "But I prefer cities by the sea."

Kleeman: "It has to be the sea? Can't it be near a river or lake?"

Seeing Yu Xia's hesitant expression, Kleeman relented, pulling her close with his gloved hand and stepping back into the portal. "Let's just be by the sea then."
