Chapter 97

Chapter 12: Believe It or Not?

Ye Qi responded to the other party's furious roar with a scorching fireball filled with explosive energy. The rolling flames roared, drowning out the other party's voice entirely; amidst the soaring flames, a dazzling white light flashed at the tip of Ye Qi's fingers, and five ball-shaped lightning bolts traced arcs of death, flying into the flames and colliding fiercely with the struggling figure of the other party...

In the misty night, the fire and flames shone like a purifying lotus, waking countless people from their slumber; hearing the sirens growing louder, Ye Qi glanced at the opposite side, then leaped into the darkness, and the white-robed priest quickly followed, swiftly leaving—adhering to the rule that the dark world must be kept hidden from ordinary people, whether it be demon hunters, the church, or dark creatures.

...

"Tsk tsk, Fingler, you look really miserable!"

In the dark room, as the disheveled vampire entered, a mocking voice immediately sounded.

"Karlas, you bastard! Why didn't you help me just now?" The vampire roared in the direction of the voice: "If you had acted with me, we could have definitely killed Ye Qi!"

"We were hired by Levin! And you are just Levin's subordinate! Don't speak to me in a commanding tone!" In the pitch-black room, a green vertical pupil suddenly appeared, and a cold, chilling aura immediately spread throughout the room; the green vertical pupil slowly approached the vampire: "We have no interest in your plans; we just do the job for money. And we have already helped you get what you wanted, so the deal is done. So, take your stuff and get lost!"

A palm-sized wooden box was thrown out of the darkness, landing in the vampire's arms; holding the wooden box, the vampire glared at the green vertical pupil in the darkness, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave.

"Karlas, why didn't you let me take out that demon hunter just now?" After the vampire left, a deep but resonant voice, like a war drum, sounded from the darkness: "If I had ambushed him, I had a seventy percent chance of killing him!"

"Seventy percent is not one hundred percent! Without a hundred percent certainty, there's no need to act!" The green vertical pupil disappeared without a trace, leaving only the voice continuing in the darkness: "And no matter how high the price Levin paid, it's not a reason for us to kill our comrades!"

"Comrades?!" The deep voice was clearly startled, quickly asking: "Comrades like us?"

"Yes! The information from my treasures won't be wrong!"

"Let's go find him now!"

"No rush! Let me observe him first..."

...

In the simple, low room, there was nothing but a single bed and a bedside table. If the person standing beside him wasn't the white-robed priest, Ye Qi would have thought he had returned to the room of the old bartender and the unscrupulous merchant.

"Your room? Nicely decorated!" Ye Qi insincerely praised, then turned to look at the other party, staring intently: "But now, can you tell me why you called me here? And where is the other party's lair?"

Earlier, when the sirens sounded, although Ye Qi leaped into the shadows, he did not leave—his original plan was to follow the other party to find their lair; however, the white-robed priest, who also hid in the darkness, interrupted his plan; the white-robed priest even earnestly asked him to leave together and told him that he had already learned the location of the other party's lair.

"I apologize for mistaking you for the murderer tonight! I hope you accept my apology!" The white-robed priest bowed slightly, and seeing Ye Qi impatiently wave his hand, continued: "I can be certain that the person controlling the snakes was definitely not the vampire you fought; so, the other party is definitely not alone! If you rashly follow them, you will only alert them!"

"Do you really think I would be discovered by the other party?" Ye Qi sneered—what the white-robed priest said, he also knew; although the vampire's magic was very mysterious, none of them could control so many snakes; therefore, there must be someone else hiding nearby, and their concealment skills were very high, or he would have detected their presence; however, with his advanced invisibility spell, he was confident he could find their trail; so, he was quite dismissive of the white-robed priest's words, even looking at the white-robed priest with a hint of mockery: "But have you considered that I also noticed this? And since I noticed it, I still dared to follow them, do you think I would have no confidence?"

Faced with Ye Qi's counter-question, the white-robed priest was taken aback, momentarily speechless—he really hadn't considered this possibility; he had just made a judgment based on his usual experience, but it turned out to be a miscalculation...

"Sir, I am truly very sorry!" The white-robed priest looked awkwardly at Ye Qi, bowed again, and was about to make up for his mistake by revealing the location of the other party's lair when the door was knocked on: "Sir Priest, there are several police officers outside looking for you and Mr. Ye!"

...

The narrow room of the white-robed priest, already mostly occupied by him and Ye Qi, could definitely not accommodate so many people, and the most appropriate place for receiving guests, the church hall, had been burned down in the evening; therefore, the white-robed priest could only receive the police in the church garden. Ye Qi stood to one side, curiously looking at the police brought by the priest, and when he saw one of the figures, his brows immediately furrowed.

"Ye Qi, we will indeed get along well! Don't you want to tell me about the fire this evening and the fire on the street just now, as well as those bodies?" The blonde girl smiled at Ye Qi, lightly flicking a strand of hair from her forehead, and slowly walked up to Ye Qi: "Or do you want me to take you back to my office and explain in detail?"

"Your office? To be honest, I have no interest!" Ye Qi shrugged, spreading his hands in an innocent manner: "And I always abide by the law! Of course, if your office is in the same place as your bedroom, I would be happy to serve!"

"Boy, what are you saying?!" The police officers following the blonde girl heard Ye Qi's words and couldn't help but shout; they surrounded him, and one of them tried to grab Ye Qi's collar but was slapped away by Ye Qi; the police officer whose hand was slapped away, holding his hand, shouted: "Boy, do you believe I will charge you with assaulting a police officer and send you to jail?"

"Oh, jail?" Ye Qi smiled, glancing at the police rank on the officer's shoulder, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you believe I can send you to guard a lonely island for the rest of your life tomorrow?"
