Chapter 1575: Chapter 1575: Leona’s Confession

During the initial period when Ye Fei had brought Leona back, the two of them would occasionally meet.

At that time, Ye Fei had speculated that Leona was staying by his side to find a way to assassinate him in revenge for her father, the Thunder God.

However, he wasn’t sure whether she had come up with any plans or if she had but hadn’t had the chance to implement them before he accidentally entered the True Void Realm.

After returning from the True Void Realm, Ye Fei had heard from the women that Leona had also moved into the manor.

However, she had never taken the initiative to seek him out, and naturally, Ye Fei wouldn’t take the initiative to find her either. As a result, the two of them hadn’t seen each other for over a year.

After a long time apart, Leona was still as sexy and charming as ever. But now, her temperament was much more cheerful than before, perhaps because she had emerged from the shadow of losing her father.

“Leona, long time no see,” Ye Fei greeted her. He felt somewhat guilty about killing the Thunder God, so he was particularly tolerant towards his daughter.

Even though he knew she was thinking about how to harm him, he always treated her with a kind and gentle demeanor.

Leona walked right up to Ye Fei, her large and enchanting lake-blue eyes staring straight at him with a somewhat complicated gaze. After a while, she finally spoke, “I heard you killed the Three Deities of Fire.”

“That’s correct. Do you blame me?” Ye Fei nodded. After all, those three were technically Leona’s uncles. It would be understandable if she blamed him for their deaths.

However, Ye Fei didn’t regret killing them at all, which was completely different from how he felt about killing the Thunder God.

Leona shook her head, “No, I don’t blame you at all. On the contrary, I should thank you. Although the Three Deities and my father were part of the same organization, they were always on opposing sides. Moreover, because they were always ganging up on my father, now that you’ve killed them, it’s like you’ve avenged my father.”

“Fair enough. As you said, I’ve inherited your father’s thunder power and have become one with him. Killing the Three Deities is like avenging myself,” Ye Fei joked first, then his expression turned serious. “Leona, to be honest, do you still hate me?”

Under Ye Fei’s piercing gaze, Leona felt a bit guilty. She lowered her head, unable to meet his eyes, and said, “I’ve never hated you. You and my father have become one, haven’t you?”

“You can’t fool me. I know the real reason you say that is because you want to stay by my side and find an opportunity to avenge your father,” Ye Fei sighed.

“Your father was a true hero. If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t kill him even if it meant giving up the thunder power. The mistake has been made. You are his only descendant, and I will never harm you. So, whatever you’re thinking, you can say it out loud. Even if you want to duel with me, that’s fine, as long as you have the strength to do so.”

“I… I don’t know,” Leona said, looking confused. At first, she was indeed determined to harm Ye Fei to avenge the Thunder God, no matter what means she used.

However, after Ye Fei disappeared and she moved into the manor, she found that every woman by Ye Fei’s side was so friendly that she couldn’t bring herself to harm him. She even became friends with them. Through them, she learned a lot about Ye Fei.

The more she learned, the more she found him to be someone who could touch the depths of one’s soul. But to say that she could give up her hatred for him was also impossible, after all, Ye Fei had killed her father with his own hands.

Although Ye Fei hadn’t experienced Leona’s feelings firsthand, he could more or less imagine them. So he sighed again, “Forget it, just take your time to figure it out.”

“Okay,” Leona replied, then she looked at Ye Fei with a complicated expression once more before turning to leave. However, after taking just a few steps, she turned back and said, “In the Holy War Organization, the strongest are not the Four Deities.”

“Who is it then, their leader?” Ye Fei asked. He had already guessed as much. After all, whether it was the upright Thunder God or the treacherous Three Deities, they all had their pride. Generally, they wouldn’t serve any organization unless there was someone even more powerful to subdue them.

“I don’t know. I just overheard my father mention it once when I was a child,” Leona said. “According to my father, he lost a bet to that person and was thus forced to serve the Holy War Organization. Moreover, my father couldn’t even last three moves under that person.”

Defeated the Thunder God in three moves? If it had been over a year ago, hearing this news might have shocked Ye Fei. But now, it no longer fazed him. After all, his current strength was more than a hundred times stronger than when he had fought the Thunder God.

Initially, Ye Fei had wondered if the expert Leona mentioned was one of the people he was trying to uncover. But now, upon reflection, it seemed unlikely. After all, if someone could only defeat the Thunder God in three moves, their strength was inferior even to the black-robed man he had encountered in the True Void Realm. How could they possibly be part of the more powerful mysterious force he had speculated about?

Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that the person was deliberately concealing their true strength. In any case, Leona’s information had been quite helpful to Ye Fei.

Otherwise, if he had thought the Four Deities were all dead and sent a large number of Lingyun Society experts to the United States, they might have been wiped out in one fell swoop. So, Ye Fei sincerely thanked Leona, “Thank you, Leona.”

Although the two had known each other for a considerable time, they hadn’t spent much time together. Their previous interactions had been mostly filled with mutual suspicion. Faced with Ye Fei’s sincere gratitude, Leona seemed somewhat at a loss.

After a moment of hesitation, she replied in a low voice, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m not worried about you. I just don’t want you to be killed by someone else. Otherwise, I won’t be able to avenge my father with my own hands.” With that, she turned around, quickened her pace, and ran out of Ye Fei’s sight without looking back.

If Leona hadn’t explained herself like that, Ye Fei wouldn’t have thought much of it. After all, aside from the grudge, they were friends, and it was normal for friends to care about each other.

But Leona’s explanation made it seem like she was trying to cover up her true feelings, which made Ye Fei’s heart skip a beat. He had seen this kind of situation many times before.

Watching Leona walk away, Ye Fei notified the Lingyun Society members through his communicator to come and clean up. He then strolled away from the scene.

Thanks to Leona’s information, he felt even more inclined to visit the United States in person, but not right now.

After all, Bai Ying had just arrived and needed his company. Moreover, it was time to wrap up the matters on the internet.
