Chapter 102 - Offering My Everything
Chapter 102 - Offering My Everything
"Miss Liu, I don't understand what you mean by that?"
Ye Mo calmed his emotions and asked with feigned confusion.
"It is not convenient to speak over the phone. If I guessed correctly, you should be at the dormitory. I happen to be downstairs; let's talk in person."
'Beep beep...'
That said, Liu Muxiao hung up the phone.
Ye Mo's brow gradually knitted together.
He glanced out the window and, indeed, saw Liu Muxiao's figure.
She had not brought a butler or any servants; she was completely alone.
"Heranir, investigate if there are any players or other suspicious existences around."
Ye Mo summoned Heranir and had her perceive the surrounding environment.
The result was that, apart from Liu Muxiao, there were absolutely no other suspicious figures.
'She came alone?'
Regarding this, the doubt in Ye Mo's heart intensified by a few points.
Assuming the other party knew his identity, would she come to find him without any precautions?
What was the difference between that and seeking death!
'Better see what she wants to do first.'
After considering, Ye Mo opened the door to the staff dormitory and politely invited Liu Muxiao inside.
"A nice environment. It seems your relationship with Jiang Linyue is quite good."
Entering the living room, Liu Muxiao looked around.
After giving a meaningful evaluation, she walked straight to the coffee table and sofa.
She pulled a stack of files out of her bag and handed them to Ye Mo.
"What is this?"
Ye Mo took them in confusion and began to check them briefly.
The more he looked, the more his brow furrowed.
Surprise and shock gradually flashed in his eyes, and finally, he looked at Liu Muxiao with a face full of incomprehension.
"This is evidence of me secretly murdering children of aristocratic families and competitors. If you make these public, I will die without a place for burial."
Liu Muxiao spoke calmly while brewing tea for herself.
As if she didn't care about it at all.
"What do you mean by giving this to me?"
Ye Mo's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at her.
"Allies who hold each other's dirt are more reliable."
Saying that, she took a sip of tea and continued:
"Of course, I came with sincerity to cooperate with you. If you want to silence me, you can kill me right now."
The meaning in her words was very clear.
'I am using my own life to bet on a chance to cooperate with you.'
'This woman is somewhat interesting.'
Undoubtedly, this was a huge gamble for her.
Especially the point of handing her own leverage over to him first.
She undoubtedly came with the greatest sincerity.
To be honest, Liu Muxiao's actions had piqued Ye Mo's interest.
But he still played dumb and said, "Miss Liu, I really don't understand what you mean."
"Phew~"
Liu Muxiao let out a soft sigh, her beautiful eyes slowly looking towards Ye Mo as she continued:
"When the incident broke out, I called you twice, but both calls went unanswered. It was only after the incident ended that the call went through. Therefore, I deduced that when you appeared as the mysterious person, you did not carry any electronic devices with you to prevent being tracked. You even used supernatural means to disguise your sweat, appearance, and other aspects."
Liu Muxiao spoke unhurriedly.
She was right; when Ye Mo went to the Zhou family, he indeed hadn't brought his phone.
Apart from the mask on the outside as a disguise, his internal appearance, sweat, scent, and so on were all disguised.
"Judging that I am that mysterious person just because I didn't answer the phone? Miss Liu is being a bit too arbitrary."
Ye Mo looked at her and retorted with a smile.
"En, indeed."
Liu Muxiao nodded and continued:
"However, I have been investigating that mysterious person since he first appeared. I retrieved the list and files of all survivors from the hospital. It just so happened that in that list was your sister's name."
Hearing this, Ye Mo's brow furrowed imperceptibly.
After the Minotaur incident, Ye Xiaoxiao had indeed been sent to the hospital by the people of the Sanctuaries.
This was an unavoidable thing.
After all, that hospital was specifically used to help survivors involved in a Hollow Crisis.
It was called treatment, but in reality, it was a facility for investigating whether any fish that escaped the net.
He didn't expect such a small detail would be caught by Liu Muxiao.
"I didn't pay much attention to the names of those survivors. Your sister just happened to be one of them, and later I ran into her at the national competition. However, I didn't care at the time, nor did I connect it with that Hollow Crisis. Until... you cleared the Secret Realm!"
No one had cleared a Secret Realm until now, yet Ye Mo had.
Then, through Ye Xiaoxiao, she associated it with the Minotaur incident.
If Ye Mo was that mysterious person, then it wasn't strange that he could clear the Secret Realm.
Speaking to this point, she poured tea for Ye Mo again. Seeing him remain silent, she continued:
"After that, I began to pay attention to this matter. It just so happened that that guy Zhou Mingyu, who didn't know death, wanted to run into the barrel of a gun. Then, it triggered this incident. Say, isn't it a coincidence? He was silenced just after offending you. From an outsider's perspective, the mysterious person's purpose was merely to crusade against an Evil God. But from my perspective, both of these incidents were related to your family."
It had to be said that Liu Muxiao's judgment was indeed terrifying.
She could connect so many things from those seemingly trivial small matters.
And she was certain that Ye Mo was that mysterious person.
"But these are all speculations of yours; there is no evidence."
Ye Mo took a sip of tea and sized her up with interest.
"En, indeed, there is none. The only thing that could be convincing is your sister's record at the hospital. But that thing... I have already helped you destroy it. Of course, this is also one of the sincerities I have in wanting to cooperate with you."
Speaking to this point, Liu Muxiao's gaze looked towards Ye Mo again, quietly waiting for his response.
At this moment, she was calm on the surface but incredibly nervous inside.
Once this cooperation failed, she couldn't guarantee whether she would be silenced.
Ye Mo was silent for a moment.
He looked at the teacup in his hand, and after his fingers lightly stroked the body of the cup, he suddenly smiled:
"Then let's talk about the cooperation. What do you want me to help you with? It shouldn't be just a simple, small matter like signing a player contract with you."
Seeing Ye Mo relent, Liu Muxiao let out a long breath imperceptibly.
Her originally tense, delicate body also relaxed slightly.
After adjusting her emotions, she looked back at Ye Mo and murmured:
"I want you to help me unify all the aristocratic families!"
Hearing this, Ye Mo's brow furrowed.
'Unify all the aristocratic families?'
'Did that mean... she wanted to be the boss of all the aristocratic families?'
'If this were put in ancient times, it would be ascending the throne as Emperor!'
"Then what about my benefits? After helping you with all this, what can I get from you?"
Ye Mo smiled meaningfully.
Unifying all the aristocratic families was much more difficult than destroying them.
"My everything!"
Liu Muxiao took a deep breath and suddenly said.
"What?"
Ye Mo was stunned, not understanding her meaning.
"You can have my everything. As long as it is something I possess, no matter what it is, you can take it. To this end, I can sign a Divine Contract with you, and under the witness of the god behind you, I will dedicate my everything to you."
Liu Muxiao looked into Ye Mo's eyes seriously, speaking with absolute certainty.
The so-called Divine Contract was actually an enhanced version of the Player Contract.
Once signed, one was almost no different from a slave.
For life, one could not disobey or harm Ye Mo.
If violated, or if there were similar thoughts, it would attract divine punishment from the god.
To put it bluntly, this was actually an unequal treaty.
E/N: Booooo! You know, I expected it in this type of genre, but I was hoping it would diverge from expectations and make an interesting character who’s ambitious enough to want to be empress. But, here we go again, another simp instead.
