Chapter 749 (1/2)

Meng Lianying was calling. Mo Ye looked at Eleven. The final battle was just tomorrow, so why did she call tonight?

“Pick it up!” Eleven said.

Mo Ye nodded. For all they knew, he might be able to fish some information from Meng Lianying. He hinted to Eleven not to speak and then picked up the call. When he picked up, Meng Lianying’s panicked voice came over the phone. “Ye, I want to see you now.”

Her voice sounded worried and saddening…

“Speak your mind. I will not meet you,” Mo Ye coldly replied while looking at Eleven, who was resting against the pillow next to him. Mo Ye turned on the speaker for Eleven to hear. Eleven was taken aback and shook her head. She trusted Mo Ye. Whether she was listening in or not made no difference.

“Ye, if you want to stay alive, you must come out to meet me,” Meng Lianying said urgently. “If you don’t want to die tomorrow, just come out now. I want to meet you.”

“Whether I meet you or not does not matter. Say whatever you have to say now, or keep your peace. Your reminders are unnecessary.” Mo Ye sounded even colder. “If you are not talking, I will end the call.”

“No!” Meng Lianying suddenly screamed to stop him. She seemed to be out of solutions and could only say, “Ye, even if you hate me and bear a grudge against me, you should know that I will not harm you. Tomorrow—”

She was cut off before she could finish talking. The beeping sound coming from the other end meant that someone had forcibly ended her call. Mo Ye and Eleven looked at each other and knew well what happened.

It was Kahn.

It must have been Kahn. He was the only person who could pull that off.

What was Meng Lianying trying to tell them? Just what did Kahn have up his sleeve? Mo Ye felt his heart wrench with some unease. Considering they were scheming against each other, it would eventually boil down to who would outscheme the other.

Tomorrow would tell whether it was Kahn who outschemed them or otherwise.

“Do you think Kahn has any tricks up his sleeve?” Eleven solemnly asked. She seemed much paler compared to before, almost sickeningly so.

“What do you think?”

“Given his character, I am sure he will pull a thing or two off. I am worried about the danger,” Eleven said. He might have looked up the terrain the castle was on, but Chu Li and company had run through Kahn’s possible courses of action countless times and planned for all of them. Despite knowing they should not panic, Kahn was indeed extremely scheming. However, he should not be as scheming as their entire crew.

“You’re not in a good shape, so stay out of this. I’ll remain at home and protect you,” Mo Ye said.

“How could you remain at home? We are already short on numbers, and we would be one man less if you decide to remain. That will not do…”

“Eleven, this is settled, so do not think too much about it. Whatever you say, I will not leave you tomorrow.” Mo Ye insisted. “If I do not personally protect you, I will not be at peace. Even if I do go, I can’t do anything.”

Eleven was lost for words.

The morning sun cast a gentle light upon Riyadh. With clear skies for miles, all seemed so good.
