Chapter 1055: Chapter 69: Hades’ Three Techniques_4
Ah Dai leaped high and floated in front of the Yan brothers, who, without asking any questions, tightly hugged Ah Dai’s shoulders. A night of anticipation and anxiety finally brought their brother back, their hearts completely exhilarated. Ah Dai had returned alive, without a speck of blood on him. Whether he succeeded or not, at least he was still alive.
Ah Dai hugged back around the broad shoulders of the Yan brothers, the deep bond of brotherhood warming his icy heart, "Don’t worry, big brothers, I’m alright."
After a while, the Yan brothers’ excited emotions gradually calmed down. Yan Shi sized up Ah Dai, "Brother, you’re finally back, we were almost worried to death. How is it? What’s the situation in Dark City now?" Ah Dai revealed a cold smile, "What else could it be? The Night Club has been wiped out. All those evil people at the City Lord’s Mansion have been killed by me. Horton is dead; I’ve avenged Ah Bing halfway, though it’s a pity the Cat Woman got away."
The Yan brothers and Fairy were utterly stunned—they knew that Ah Dai was taking on the entire force of Dark City! He had destroyed the city’s largest gambling house and killed Horton all by himself; it was incredible! Yan Li murmured, "Brother, how did you do it?"
Ah Dai pointed to the Sword of Hades on his chest, speaking calmly, "It helped me do it. Those evil souls have been absorbed by the even more evil Sword of Hades."
A flicker of unease crossed Yan Shi’s mind, and he frowned, "Brother, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t use the Sword of Hades?"
Ah Dai shook his head, "No, I’ve changed my mind. Although the Sword of Hades is the most evil in the world, it also has its uses. From now on, I absolutely won’t go easy on those evil people. I will make them one by one, die bitterly under my Sword of Hades."
Yan Shi suddenly grabbed Ah Dai’s shoulders, shouting, "Ah Dai, I know that Ah Bing’s death deeply affected you, but I don’t want you to become like this. Could it be, you really want to become a murderous demon? Come back, big brother still likes the innocent and kind Ah Dai, not this bloodthirsty Ah Dai."
Ah Dai remained still, letting Yan Shi hold him, but his expression gradually became agitated, a layer of moisture appearing in his eyes, passionately saying, "No, I don’t want to go back to being the old Ah Dai, I don’t. If it weren’t for my weakness, Bing wouldn’t have died; it’s all my fault; I killed Bing. I’m so regretful, I really am very regretful. If I had killed the Cat Woman with one strike at the beginning, even if the poison in Bing was severe, I would definitely have found a way to save her. I need to kill; I want to kill all the evil people in the world." He suddenly shook his arms, thrusting Yan Shi’s hands away, his body surging with a vivid killing aura, continuously convulsing. His eyes filled with blood vessels looked extremely frightening.
Yan Shi’s arms were painfully shocked by Ah Dai’s action. He knew that whatever he said now, Ah Dai would not listen, he sighed, "Alright, let’s talk about this later. Sit down and rest for now. Anyway, after causing such a commotion in Dark City, moving within the Empire of Sunset City will be extremely difficult henceforth. That Cat Woman still has a huge force behind her; we have to be careful."
Ah Dai’s agitated emotions gradually calmed down, he whispered, "Sorry, big brother Yan Shi, I got too agitated."
Yan Li patted Ah Dai’s shoulder, saying, "No matter what you become, we’re still your brothers. Big brother is only thinking of your best interests; he doesn’t want you to be blinded by hatred."
Ah Dai nodded lightly, a night of struggle left him completely exhausted. He slowly collapsed to the ground, leaning against the tree behind him.
Seeing that Ah Dai had calmed down, Yan Shi continued, "If we want to find the whereabouts of other Elf Kindred, we absolutely must not expose our identities so easily. Ah Dai, you shouldn’t wear your Mage Robe anymore; we should all switch to ordinary civilian clothes to conceal our identities, and try to take some more remote paths."
The Fairy walked up to the three men, somewhat timidly saying, "Thank you, all three of you, for rescuing me. I, I still don’t know how to address you."
Yan Li laughed heartily, "My name is Yan Li, this is my older brother Yan Shi, and this magician who summoned the dragon is our brother Ah Dai. You can just call us by our names from now on. Our purpose in coming to the Empire of Sunset City is to rescue all your kindred, as entrusted to us by the Elf Queen." He then recounted the process of how they were entrusted by the Elf Queen in Elf City.
After listening to Yan Li’s narrative, tears of gratitude streamed down the Fairy’s face, and suddenly, with a thump, she knelt to the ground, choking up, "Thank you, thank you for helping our Elf Clan. If it weren’t for your rescue, I might have already become a plaything for those humans."
Yan Li quickly helped the Fairy up, and Yan Shi stepped forward, softly saying, "Elf Sister, stop crying. You are completely free now. Once we rescue all your captured kindred, we’ll send you all back to Elf City. Okay? Now, you need to tell us how many of your people have been captured and where they might be."
The Fairy suddenly broke into tears, her radiant smile blossoming like a beautiful flower, "Who are you calling Elf Sister? I am one hundred and forty-one years old this year."
