Chapter 69: The Embodiment of Love and Justice

  Finally arrived at the 9th floor, thank you everyone for your support, comments, flowers and collections. My words of gratitude came a bit early, haha! *makes a bow* See you next time~~~

  He looked down at his clothes and didn't see anything wrong with them, so he asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

  Afu's expression was serious and she said in a low voice: "Sir, you have always been open and honest in your actions, why would you use such underhanded methods?"

  Ye Feng was taken aback and said: "Darkness? How can you think of that?"

  There, in countless thrilling and explosive film and television works, they are telling such melodramatic stories. 007 and the CIA represent the embodiment of love and justice, heroes who spare no effort to guard the peace and tranquility of the earth, even sacrificing their lives and shedding blood.

  Moreover, these heroes have all practiced the legendary Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt, and no matter how hard they are beaten, they cannot be killed. Not only that, after going through bloody battles and defeating the weak-minded and evil villains, they will eventually return with a large pile of votes, cars, houses, and horses.

  (Two days ago, I watched 007's The Living Daylights and Rambo: First Blood Part II again, both of which are about Afghanistan. I laughed while watching, and food even went up my nostrils.)

  Those silly kids probably didn't expect that the cool movie they made back then would now seem so hilarious. Especially Blue's last line at the end of the movie, which is so pretentious: "This is an unconquerable nation." I almost laughed to death.

  "Does a gentleman inform against others? These agents are capturing wind and grasping shadows, secretly informing the world, probing everywhere, eavesdropping on private matters. Moreover, they act with cunning and cruel means. How can such despicable and base things be done by you, a dignified knight?"

  Ye Feng listened to her accusations, for a moment he didn't know how to explain himself, and fell silent for a while. Suddenly, he lifted his head, the sunlight shone through the window onto his face, reflecting an angelic holy light.

  Ye Feng gazed out the window at the scenery and murmured, "There is light, there is darkness, and it's only with both that our rich and colorful world is formed. Without darkness, how can we know the preciousness of light?"

  When Aphrodite heard his words, "How can you know the value of light without darkness?", she couldn't help but look up and saw that his figure suddenly became tall and majestic, filling her entire field of vision. Ye Feng was like a giant looking down at her, making it hard for her to breathe, her mouth slightly open, letting out a soft "ah", and her feet unconsciously took half a step back.

  Ye Feng gazed intently into her sapphire-like eyes, taking another step forward, so close that his shadow was almost visible in her pupils. "They indeed walk in darkness," he said, "but their hearts have always yearned for the light."

  He pointed to the messy files on the table and said sternly, "Without their hard work, how would those meat-eaters in high positions understand the suffering of the people? How would they supervise those corrupt officials who bully the commoners? How would they monitor those greedy and shameless officials who deceive their superiors and subordinates? How would they prevent those robbers who roam the seven seas and kill people from doing harm? How would they ensure peace and stability for the people?"

  "Take this time for example, Duke-sama was innocent and kidnapped by pirates."

  He looked at Aphrodite and continued, "If we can enhance prevention, these people would have appeared earlier. Who knows, they might have discovered the pirates' plan from some clues. Then the Duke wouldn't have been kidnapped, things wouldn't have gotten so big, your food could have been transported out earlier, and you could have saved even more innocent good people."

  Aphrodite hung her head and said nothing, a look of deep thought in her eyes.

  "Not bad, you've seen their dark side. But have you ever thought..."

  Ye Feng paused for a moment, his eyes gleaming as he stared at her, his voice like the tolling of a great bell, saying: "The darkness you see is actually your own shadow cast under the light."

  Aphrodite's whole body shook, and she suddenly raised her head. Her beautiful eyes showed a strange light, staring at him without blinking. Her long golden hair gently swayed in the breeze.

  After a while, she gently bent her slender waist, made a deep bow and said with sincerity: "Sir, you have a vision of ten thousand miles, unparalleled wisdom. I can only admire and worship you. From now on, I hope Sir will not hesitate to teach me."

  Ye Feng reached out and supported her arms, helping her up. His hands touched soft skin, before his eyes was the beautiful woman's delicate and charming face, and he smelled the faint scent of orchid and musk on her body.

  Ye Feng didn't notice a stir in his heart, and hastily lowered his head, but just happened to see Aphrodite's chest.

  In this place, there was no such great and humanized invention as a bra, and the clothing was mainly loose and comfortable. So, he happened to see through Aphrodite's loose collar, a patch of white and delicate chest exposed outside her clothes. Two high-standing mountain peaks, and in between, a deep, smooth, and jade-like **.

  He was stunned, holding Aphrodite's arm with his hand, and forgot to let go. He also subconsciously pinched her twice. Aphrodite's face immediately flushed with two red clouds, feeling embarrassed and ashamed beyond words.

  Although she traveled extensively, she was also highly respected and admired by the people who saw her as a heavenly saintly girl, and no one dared to offend her, let alone have close contact with others in such a situation.

  She caught the scent of Ye Feng's body and her heart skipped a beat with anxiety. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she was so dazed that she also forgot to remind Ye Feng to let go of his hands.

  Ouyang was completely focused on stamping those reports on the table and didn't notice the situation here at all.

  The only sound in the room was the thud, thud, thud of Oola's seal being stamped. The atmosphere between them was extremely ambiguous.

  "Hey, mister...?" a sly voice called out.

  Aphrodite was startled and took a step back, her body stiffening.

  Her face was burning red, to avoid the embarrassment of being caught off guard, she pretended to be nonchalant and turned her head to look at a painting on the wall, but at this moment, she was like a little girl whose first love had been broken, and her cover-up was not very clever.

  She was so nervous that her heart was racing, and she completely forgot about her acting skills. Her beautiful face, with a subtle smile, was exposed to everyone's eyes, even Ora noticed something was off, looking at her suspiciously, sizing her up from head to toe.

  Ye Feng reluctantly turned back to look, and saw Atom appearing at the door.

  He was about to win the beauty's heart, and maybe with another two sentences, he could have taken her home, but this bastard interrupted him, ruining his good fortune, and the duck that was just about to be cooked flew out of the pot.

  Ye Feng's anger suddenly arose from his heart, and evil was born from his gallbladder.

  He gritted his teeth and glared at Atom, saying viciously: "What business do you have here? Why aren't you staying in the blacksmith's shop where you belong?"

  Atom raised the tray in his hand. Ye Feng only then noticed that there was a spring with a diameter of about one foot on it, as well as some miscellaneous mechanical parts. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he walked over in big strides, stretched out his hand to pick up the spring from the tray, saw the faintly visible metal pattern on it, and exclaimed: "Is it done?"

  He said a few more words, but couldn't hear Atom's response, and found it strange. He slowly turned his head around, only to see Atom, with all the inferior qualities of a feces-eating insect, sneakily gazing at Aphrodite with a lecherous look.

  Ye Feng was furious and kicked it away.

  At this, Atom finally reacted and hastily said: "Yes. As you instructed, using the best Uzz steel as raw material, after more than 30 processes of refinement and tempering, the old blacksmith was heartbroken and exclaimed that these materials could be used to forge two Damascus curved swords worth a thousand gold coins."

  Ye Feng didn't care at all, grasping the handle below, twisting it a couple of times, feeling that the elasticity was not bad, said: "Very good. Oola, bring the crossbow."

  Ou La covered the crossbow behind his back with one hand, took a few steps back, and looked at him vigilantly, saying: "What do you want to do? We agreed earlier that the bribe money would be split 40-60, and this crossbow belongs to me."
