Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Chapter 227 Qi Yuan's Smile: Life and Death Uncertain

"Is that all you really know?"

Qi Yuan's tone was indifferent, as if he were simply asking a question.

Nick sensed a vague unease during his questioning.

“That’s really all I know,” Nick said seriously. “Darkfire is a brother organization to me, and yet it isn’t. Most of my understanding of them comes from my brothers in Dawn. But Darkfire is much bigger than I thought. I’ve never had any contact with them, so this is all I know.”

"Would you like to know more about them?"

Qi Yuan's question immediately set off alarm bells in Nick's mind.

He forced a smile: "Qi, Boss Qi, you don't want me to infiltrate [Darkfire] as an undercover agent for you, do you? They are very hostile to outsiders, and I might encounter danger if I go in."

"I'm not that kind of heartless boss."

Hearing this, Nick felt relieved.

But her next words startled him: "I'll go with you."

"what?!"

"You might die if you join them, and I might die if I join them. Since we're both going to die anyway, wouldn't joining together be... two negatives make a positive?"

Nick was educated; he knew what it meant for two negatives to make a positive.

But is this the kind of situation where two negatives make a positive?

If one person goes in, they will die; if two people go in, they will still die, won't they?

Nick suddenly missed the days when he worked for Noah. When Noah gave him a mission, he was always going to kill someone. If he couldn't kill, he would just get killed instead.

In any case, they would carry weapons when they went there, and they would strike when the opponent's defenses were at their weakest.

But by following Qi Yuan, they truly became two adorable little lambs, foolishly walking into the tiger's den, naively hoping that the tiger would be merciful.

Is it possible for a tiger to be kind to a sheep? Absolutely not!

Nick looked at Qi Yuan, pondered for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Boss Qi, can I withdraw from your jurisdiction now? I'm incompetent and can't be of much help as your subordinate."

"Oh?" Qi Yuan smiled slightly.

When he smiled, Nick felt his life was hanging in the balance, and his palms were sweating with panic.

"Nick, how is it usually handled when someone voluntarily withdraws from the Davis family's clique?" Qi Yuan asked.

Upon hearing this, Nick immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Joining the Davis family's organization and then leaving is tantamount to betrayal; no matter how much inside information or knowledge one possesses, the end result is always death.

While he hesitated, Qi Yuan had already taken out a pistol from the drawer, aimed it at him with a gentle expression, and asked calmly, "Want me to give you a ride?"

"Mr. Qi, don't get agitated, I was just joking. Although I am incompetent, I will do my utmost for you!" Nick hurriedly said.

Qi Yuan smiled slightly, "I knew it, Nick, you're a smart person."

He then placed the pistol aside.

Nick looked at the silver pistol, and all he felt now was regret, so much regret!

Having met Qi Yuan several times, and finding him gentle, kind and easy to talk to, I thought working under him would be no different from getting paid while lying down.

Little did anyone expect that Qi Yuan was a smiling tiger!

It looked all smiles, but suddenly it lunged at you with its gaping maw.

The key is ruthlessness!

Not only did they drag him into the water, but they also had to get in themselves.

Does he not know how famous he is in the North because of Noah?

Many organizations have obtained his portrait and are wary of inadvertently offending the Davis family.

Of course, this was also partly an attempt to capture him and blackmail the Davis family.

They actually wanted to walk into the tiger's den themselves.

Nick suddenly missed working under Noah. At least when he worked under Noah, Noah wouldn't assign such outrageous tasks, but Qi Yuan would!

“Nick, you’re so smart, you must have a way to join Darkfire, right?” Qi Yuan asked.

Nick smiled weakly. "I...I'll try my best."

"Then I'll trouble you. It's getting late, so have some dinner before you leave," Qi Yuan said.

Nick quickly waved his hand, "No need, I have an appointment with Xiu, so I'll be leaving now."

Nick is now terrified of Qi Yuan. He would rather see Qi Yuan's expressionless and aloof demeanor than see him smile.

For him, now, Qi Yuan smiled, but life and death were uncertain.

Qi Yuan knew that he had left Nick with psychological trauma, so he did not try to keep him.

Nick could almost describe his feelings about leaving the Davis family as an escape.

Seeing Nick's pale face, Asha was very curious about what the two of them had talked about in the study, that the shameless Nick could be so frightened.

That evening, Qi Yuan had dinner with Petty and told her that two children would be coming to their house to play the next day. He said that if Petty liked them, she could become friends with them, but if she didn't, she could ask the children to leave.

It was the first time Petty had played with children of similar age, and she was so excited that she didn't fall asleep until 11 p.m.

Back in his room, Noah sat on the sofa, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes to rest. The light dark circles under his eyes showed that he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

But he still heard Qi Yuan gently close the door. Noah opened his eyes, looked at him, and asked, "Little girl, why did you fall asleep so late tonight?"

"I told her that two children would be coming to play with her tomorrow, and the little girl excitedly pulled me, asking what gifts to give them and which little dress to wear tomorrow. She finally couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep. You're back so early today?"

"We've been trying to catch those rats for days, but we haven't managed to. However, Asha told me that Nick knows some information about [Darkfire]. You even talked with him in the study for over forty minutes. What did you talk about?"

"Nick and I are joining [Darkfire]."

Qi Yuan really doesn't beat around the bush; he gets straight to the point.

However, without any preamble, he went straight to the point, leaving even Noah, who lived a life of constant danger, speechless for a long time.

Qi Yuan sat opposite him, waiting for him to finish organizing his thoughts before asking his questions.

After nearly a minute of silence, Noah, his tired and shocked mind finally composed itself and asked, "Baby, what are you doing?"

“I’ve always thought your thought process was incredibly fast, so fast that even someone as smart as me couldn’t keep up with your ideas. But, [Darkfire] is an organization that has always been at odds with the four major families. If you join it and something happens in the future, how can I protect you?”

Of all the organizations in the Northern Continent, the four major families never paid any attention to them, but they truly hated the Darkfire. Despite being an organization that only had one chance to cause trouble a year, for some reason they were like cockroaches that could never be killed; every time one batch was killed, another batch would pop up.

Noah would support Qi Yuan in whatever he did, but he would immediately oppose Qi Yuan joining Darkfire.

Qi Yuan didn't deliberately keep anyone in suspense and told Noah everything Nick had told him, recounting it all in detail.
