Chapter 1462: Chapter 1462: Finale Part 10
The shadow lowered his gaze, the warmth of her palm still lingering at the corner of his eyes, a strange sensation as no one ever dared to touch him like this.
In the eyes of others, he was a death god, a demon of slaughter, invoking only fear and disgust.
No one had ever touched him so gently, only she, like a mother, would touch him and understand him.
This unfamiliar yet warm feeling made his heart tremble even more.
Opening his palm, there was a bit of wetness, the tear she shed when she turned away just now.
Wasn’t she supposed to dislike him?
Then why did she get angry for him, feel heartache for him, and even shed tears for him!
A stranger, without any ties, on the enemy’s side, she actually shed tears for him, a blood-stained demon.
He was unworthy of such tears.
Yet for the first time in his life, he felt happy, having a woman give him the only bit of concern in his life.
Even if it was just for this one tear.
He had to help her!
...
The Godfather wanted Ye Lu to stay, ostensibly saying that he didn’t want Third Young Master Jun to be distracted at the critical moment of the transaction, so he would help take care of her.
But in reality, it was about holding Ye Lu as a hostage to control Third Young Master Jun, ensuring he didn’t act rashly.
Third Young Master Jun’s face showed he was upset; how could he bear it, how could he feel at ease letting Ye Lu stay with the Godfather? He knew full well what means the Godfather would use; staying in his hands was too dangerous.
Ye Lu secretly shook her head at him, preventing him from speaking.
If he insisted on taking her away, the Godfather would only be more suspicious, making his actions even harder to carry out.
"I will wait beside the Godfather for you. After the transaction is completed, you can come and get me. I will wait for you."
Seeing her calming gaze, Third Young Master Jun, although worried in his heart, could only nod.
The Godfather spoke: "Tomorrow is the day of the transaction, you should prepare everything tonight. After the transaction, we should leave North America and return to East Asia!"
"I understand, I won’t let the Godfather down." Third Young Master Jun spoke confidently, then took a deep look at Ye Lu before leaving.
"Let’s go as well, Shadow take her to the car."
Ye Lu could only follow the Godfather to the car, returning to their lodging, and as she entered, she took notice of the villa’s layout.
Not a single patrolling guard could be seen.
This frightened her more, and she was certain she absolutely couldn’t escape, because the lack of patrol guards indicated the villa was defended even more tightly, so she better not act rashly.
Yet the Godfather showed some humanitarian spirit, not locking her up but allowing her to stay in a comfortable room, and not posting anyone to watch her at the door.
Ye Lu quietly lay in bed, her expression calm, staring at the ceiling, not too worried about her predicament of being under house arrest.
Before Third Young Master Jun succeeded, the Godfather wouldn’t act against her, so there was no need for her to worry.
If Third Young Master Jun acted, then things would be completely torn, life or death belonging to either side is unknown; if Third Young Master Jun failed, at worst she would die with him, who would be afraid!
Tonight listening to Third Young Master Jun’s confident words, it seemed he already had a meticulous plan to destroy the Godfather, though she didn’t know the plan, so she couldn’t offer any help.
The only way not to drag him down is for her to find a way to escape tomorrow, and not burden him.
Ye Lu closed her eyes, tomorrow would be the final battle; tonight she must rest and save her strength.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, an unexpected visitor arrived.
