Let them offer their loyalty

But how to say it...

Never mind the referee.

Everyone on the football field is my people, how can you fight with me?

The city was shrouded in darkness, brightly lit. Jonas stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, his eyes penetrating the glass, gazing at the outside world.

He was playing with an exquisite silver pen in his hand, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

Before I knew it, it was already evening.

Ye Hua knew that there was a high probability that he would not be able to find Yue Yan, so he had no choice but to go back first.

The office was quiet, with only the occasional sound of breeze outside the window and the hustle and bustle of the street in the distance.

Jonas turned around and faced the spacious room, a gleam in his eyes. He walked gently to the desk, sat on the high-back chair, folded his hands on the table, and his face had a complicated expression.

Now, Jonas finally has a chance to calm down and review what he has done so far.

He whispered to himself, his voice echoing in the empty office: "The first part of the plan has been completed. Next, we will see how Dragon City will react."

On the chessboard he carefully laid out, every chess piece moved accurately according to his intention.

Ye Hua and Yue Yan had been fooled into being fools. The one with a lame leg bought a bicycle, and the one who could ride a bicycle bought a crutch.

Thinking back on every detail and every decision, Jonas felt that there were no big problems anymore.

"Ye Hua, Yue Yan, you are both an indispensable part of this drama."

Jonas said softly, with an indescribable emotion in his voice.

It's like a fun-loving person seeing a circus performance.

I couldn't help but applaud.

He almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

In a spacious and elegant office in Longcheng, Ji Yeling sat at her work desk with a frown on her face, an ominous premonition rising in her heart.

Her eyes fell on the two communicators that had been silent. She had tried to contact Ye Hua and Yue Yan many times, but each time was in vain.

Ye Hua didn't answer the call, and the person who was supposed to pick him up didn't come back either. He asked Jonas, but Jonas just said that he would try his best to investigate. This was completely perfunctory!

The same goes for Yue Yan. Ever since Ye Hua made that call saying that he was willing to come back, Yue Yan disappeared without a trace. What on earth is going on?

The room was filled with depression. The night outside poured in through the window, illuminating Ji Yeling's melancholy face. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, and her mind kept replaying a series of information and plans before Ye Hua and Yue Yan left. However, the silence now made her feel an unprecedented uneasiness.

Ji Ye Ling said to herself, "Ye Hua, Yue Yan, what problems did you encounter? Why is there no news?"

She stood up and walked to the window, leaning her hands against the cold glass, staring at the brightly lit city outside. The night in Dragon City was always so beautiful and prosperous, but tonight, all this beauty could not cover up the uneasiness in her heart.

"Something's wrong...something must have happened." She muttered in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Ji Yeling knew that Ye Hua and Yue Yan were both experienced swordsmen. If they had not encountered extremely difficult situations, it would be impossible for them to have no news for such a long time.

She turned around, walked to the desk again, and tried to contact again, but the result was still silence.

Ji Yeling couldn't help but feel frustrated and helpless. She couldn't get any clues from the silence and could only wait passively.

And waiting was what she hated most.

What's more, it's a wait like this without even any news.

"Yehua, Yueyan, you must be safe."

Ji Yeling sat back in the chair, folded his hands on the table, and his eyes became deep and distant.

Her heart was filled with anxiety and uncertainty, but she also understood that as the leader of the Sword Wielders of Dragon City, she had to remain calm and patient.

If she also lost her mind, there would be no one left for the Sword Wielder to rely on.

The city outside was still as prosperous as before, but for Ji Yeling, this night was particularly long and uneasy.

The night was as dark as ink, with twinkling stars. Before she knew it, it was late at night. Although she didn't say it, her mind had already flown beyond the tranquility of the night and immersed in Ye Hua and Yue Yan.

Ye Hua and Yue Yan were the two best swordsmen she carefully selected and trained. One represented the power and strength of the nobility, and the other demonstrated the tenacity and agility of the common people.

The two of them are almost the most outstanding young generations on both the noble and common people sides.

Ye Hua, with her extraordinary strategic mind and outstanding combat skills, has demonstrated extraordinary ability in every mission. The way she handles problems is always so appropriate. No matter how complicated the situation is, she can always remain calm and professional. Her perfect performance almost makes people forget what failure is.

Although Yue Yan was born into a commoner family, she possessed talent and perseverance that was no less than any noble. In every mission, she handled countless difficult situations with her amazing adaptability and combat capabilities. Her every success proved that birth did not determine everything.

Both of them climbed up from the bottom, and every mission was truly a matter of life and death. The Sword Wielder rarely gave Ye Hua any backdoors, and the nobles only provided the help they were supposed to.

Once these two people are defeated in District 25.

Not to mention breaking bones, but...

Ugh.

Ji Yeling placed these two people in District 25 because she trusted them. Unexpectedly, this would directly trigger the hidden conflict between the two. Usually, Yue Chen would either take a step back first or pretend not to care.

If only I had been a little tougher at that time.

In Ji Yeling's eyes, Ye Hua and Yue Yan are the perfect combination of Longcheng and the best proof of the joint efforts of nobles and commoners.

Although she knew it was just a lie, she had to keep up the lie until she could no longer do it.

The sound of the communication vibrating rang out. At this time, she was concentrating on examining a report. Suddenly, the sound of the communication broke the silence of the night. She quickly clicked on the communication, and the name of the swordsman she had placed in District 25 was displayed on the screen.

Ji Yeling felt a little anxious and she immediately answered the call.

"Big sister, we just received news that Yue Yan has contacted us."

The assistant's voice came from the other end of the communicator, with a hint of excitement and relief.

If Yue Qian doesn't contact the Sword Bearer, the big sister's low pressure will kill him.

Ji Yeling's frown relaxed slightly: "How is she doing now?"

"She said she was heading from District 25 to Dragon City. The base there has better medical facilities and can cross the wilderness. She should arrive soon. According to the examination, she was hardly injured, but she seemed to have become a little silent."

Ji Yeling's worries were not completely dispelled. Yue Chen's silence made her feel unusual, but compared to the person dying directly, this situation was actually better.

"Okay, I understand. Once Yue Qian returns to Longcheng, notify me immediately. We need to understand the whole situation as soon as possible."

After the call ended, Ji Yeling leaned back in his chair, his eyes deep, immersed in his own thoughts.

Yue Yan has always been a lively and cheerful person. Her silence not only shows the severity of this mission, but also makes Ji Yeling feel that there may be more complicated situations hidden behind it.

She couldn't help but think about Ye Hua's situation, another swordsman whom she trusted without a doubt. She didn't believe that Yue Yan's obsession had nothing to do with Ye Hua.

Suddenly, the communication started ringing again.

"What's wrong? What happened again?"

"No, big sister, it's just that Yueqian told me that she had something else to say, and she was too lazy to call, so she asked me to tell her for her."

"What?"

Ji Yeling was stunned for a moment. What was so important?

"She said, she said that after she returns, she will kill Ye Hua's mother."

Chapter 625 I'll Kill Your Mom When I Go Back

The wilderness presents a scene that is both magnificent and desolate. Here, the sky is of a gray hue, as if even the clouds have lost their vitality. They hang low, suppressing the entire horizon.

The sun was vaguely visible behind the clouds, and the light it emitted seemed weak and dim, unable to bring warmth to the earth.

On the ground, endless sand and rocks spread out, stretching to the distant horizon. Sparse dead grass grew between the sand and rocks, drooping in the wind. There was no lush vegetation here, only occasional bushes growing, which were tenacious and lonely, as if they were surviving strongly in this desolate place.

In the distance, a few isolated hills outlined a few low contours on the horizon. Their color almost blended with the surrounding sand and rocks. Only when the wind blew could you see the tiny grains of sand on the hills flying in the air.

Yue Qian woke up from her coma and felt a splitting headache, as if her entire head was shaking violently. She barely propped herself up and her vision became blurry.

As her vision gradually became clear, she found herself in a desolate environment, with nothing around her except sand, rocks and dead grass.

"Where is this...the desert?"

She tried to steady herself and looked around.

The sky was gloomy, and a barren land stretched into the distance. There was no trace of any buildings. Except for the sound of the wind and the occasional animal calls in the distance, it was completely silent here.

She tried to stand up and felt dizzy. It was obvious that she had not eaten or drunk water for a long time.

She looked at her body and found no serious injuries except for stains on her clothes and some scrapes.

"I'm so hungry, I'm dehydrated... My lips are chapped... Was it Yehua or Jonas who put me here? Should I say it's a last mercy, or a torture for me?"

She vaguely remembered that she lost consciousness during the meeting with Jonas, and was eventually tricked by both Ye Hua and Jonas, but the specific details were as if obscured by a thick fog, making them elusive.

Forget it, let’s not think about these things now, let’s think about how to escape.

The wilderness before her made her feel lonely and helpless. She had no survival tools and didn't know how far she was from the nearest civilized area.

If you want to survive, you must act quickly to find water and food.

Yue Qian took a deep breath and forced herself to stand firm. She decided to walk along a less obvious path, hoping to find some clues to survival, or at least meet someone who could provide help.

Stumbling forward in the wilderness, every step seemed like a struggle against the sand and my own weakness.

Her throat was dry, and every breath she took was like a mouthful of burning dust. The scene before her seemed to repeat endlessly: sand, withered grass, and blurred hills in the distance. Everything seemed so desolate and hopeless.

Just when she was about to give up hope, a small dot in the distance gradually became clearer. She blinked, trying to confirm that she was not hallucinating.

The small dot gradually grew larger, and finally, she could make out that it was a car. Although it looked a little shabby, it stood out in this desolate environment.

She quickened her pace, even though every step made her feel exhausted. When she approached the car, she noticed that the door was half open, as if the owner had left. She approached cautiously, full of vigilance.

As soon as she got in the car, the stench in the car made Yue Qian feel uncomfortable. Then the strong stench of a corpse came, so Yue Qian directly threw the body out.

"Let me sit here first, and then I will burn a good grave for you. Don't blame me if you are surprised. It has been so long since we broke the feudal superstitions, and it is time for you to go down. Next time I come here, I will definitely make a grave for you, either a cyber grave or a physical grave."

After the body was dropped off, she was relieved by the situation inside the car. It seemed that no one was nearby. She quickly checked the car, hoping to find something useful.

At the foot of the co-pilot seat, she found a small plastic bottle filled with a little water. Although it was not much, it was the source of life for her. She immediately opened the bottle cap, drank a few sips carefully, and felt a hint of coolness spreading in her mouth and throat.

Then her eyes fell on a small paper bag in the car. She quickly opened it and found a few slices of dry bread and some nuts inside. Although these foods did not look fresh, they were undoubtedly a valuable source of energy in this situation. She ate a few bites carefully and felt a little strength recovering in her body.

Finding these water and food was undoubtedly a ray of hope for Yue Qian, who was in a state of extreme physical exhaustion and dehydration.

She knew that these could only support her needs for a short time, and she had to find a safer place and more adequate supplies as soon as possible, but at least now, she had the strength and hope to move on.

Yue Qian sat in the dilapidated car, holding the dry bread and nuts with shaking hands. She was very careful, as if she was afraid of scaring away this sudden good fortune. Although the food was simple, it was extremely precious to her who was hungry and tired. She ate in small bites, chewing each bite slowly, feeling the weak but precious energy brought by the food.

When drinking water, she was even more cautious. Every sip was like precious nectar. She tried hard to make every drop of water fully moisten her dry throat. Although the water was not much, it was enough to make her feel a little satisfied and the revival of life.

"It's great to eat!"

After eating, Yue looked around the dilapidated car. The condition of the interior was heartbreaking. The fabric of the seats was tattered, some interior panels had fallen off, and the dashboard was covered with dust. This car had obviously been here for quite a long time, forgotten in this desolate land.

She gently touched the steering wheel, feeling a little emotional.

I didn't expect that when I first came to District 25, I was eating and drinking well, but not long after, I fell to this point.

After resting for a while, Yue Qian felt that her strength had recovered. She knew that she could not stay here for too long and had to return to Area 25 as soon as possible.

Although she was not clear about the specific direction and distance, she knew that only by going back there could she be truly safe and find the answers to all the mysteries.

When Yue Qian was rummaging in the car, her eyes fell on a dusty navigation system. She thought the device was no longer usable, but in the hope that it might still be useful, she tried to open it.

To her surprise, the navigation system screen flickered a few times and then slowly lit up. Although the battery level was low, it was still able to work.

"Please, don't get into trouble, bro."

She quickly entered the coordinates of District 25, silently praying that the navigator could provide her with some useful information.

The map on the screen gradually loaded up, showing the distance between her current location and District 25. To her surprise and relief, she found that her location was not far from District 25, only a few dozen kilometers away.

She carefully observed the navigation map and memorized the general direction and route. Although there might be accidents along the way and it would be very difficult to walk back, at least she now had a clear goal. She turned off the navigator to save precious power as she might need it again on the way.

"It has to be something like this, maybe from 20 or 30 years ago, that's the best. I'm so worried. I have to drive back quickly."

She called up the navigation. Even though it was badly damaged and only some intact parts could be seen, it could still provide some basic directional guidance. After she determined a general direction, she took a deep breath and drove directly.

This discovery made Yue Qian feel a little lucky and comforted in the midst of misfortune. Although she was alone, at least she did not need to travel long distances and face more unknown dangers. This added a glimmer of hope to her journey back.

After making these preparations, Yue Qian stood in the desolate wilderness, took a deep breath, and drove directly.

When she was struggling in the slums, she had experienced much more difficulties than this. Not to mention the desert, she even experienced a helicopter crash. That time, she had just joined the Sword Wielder not long ago, but she still survived, didn't she?

When she thought about how Ye Hua had brought her to this state, she began to get angry again.

After returning, I must throw Ye Hua into the desert!
