Diliya's Order

As soon as they got back to the hotel, Blue jumped off Beika's shoulder and disappeared in a few leaps.

Beika simply shook her head and smiled, then walked towards Diliya's room. When she reached the door, she knocked before pushing it open and entering.

As soon as Beika stepped inside, he saw Diliya sitting upright, looking at him and pointing to the stool opposite her. He immediately felt uneasy, because this situation usually meant he had done something wrong. He thought about it carefully and realized it was very likely that he had refused to help treat Gu Ding and the others' friend, which had angered Diliya.

Becca slowly sat down opposite Diliya, Beika brain racing as she searched for a better excuse.

"Beika, why did you refuse to treat Gu Ding and their companions?" As expected, Diliya's first question was about this matter.

"The reasons are simple. First, I'm not a doctor and have no obligation to save lives. Second, they are strangers to me, and I know nothing about them. What if I save a serial killer?" Beika argued illogically.

"I can tell they're not bad people. Besides, whether they're doctors or not has nothing to do with refusing to help someone in distress. Refusing to help someone in distress is something only morally flawed people would do," Diliya criticized directly.

"Whether someone is a bad person or not can't be determined by the eyes." Beika ignored her last sentence and only refuted the first one.

"That's not a reason for you to refuse to help," Diliya shook her head, stating the truth she had seen in the video. "You refused to help because of me, didn't you?"

"It has nothing to do with you, it's because... because..." Upon hearing this, Beika's expression changed. He hadn't expected Diliya to have guessed it herself. In his panic, he couldn't think of a better reason to cover it up.

"No need for excuses, I know everything."

"I can't leave you, Senior Sister, especially at a time like this." Beika lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and spoke the truth. "Master specifically instructed the other disciples to protect you."

"As you probably know, in this catastrophe, it's very likely that only the two of us will survive. As long as I'm alive, they will keep sending people to hunt me down. It will only be more dangerous for you to be with me. If we both perish, it could mean that our family lineage will be cut off, and the ancestral property that our ancestors have worked so hard to build over hundreds of eras will be handed over to others."

"My father once told me that you are the most promising disciple of our generation to be promoted to lord. As long as you live to become a lord, you will be able to establish your own domain and pass on our family's legacy."

"If I were to actually advance to the Lord-level, and you weren't there by then, do you think it would be meaningful to establish a domain? Even if the inherited techniques were the same, it would ultimately not be the Bolo Domain of the past. Only if you live can the glory of the Bolo Domain be rebuilt." Beika offered a different opinion.

"You still don't understand, what matters most is inheritance. Every civilization, no matter how many generations die one after another, as long as the inheritance is passed down, the civilization will not die, and may even be rediscovered and revived by future generations one day! Inheritance is the spark of civilization. As long as the spark does not go out, it will eventually be rekindled."

"I understand the reasoning, but I still can't leave my senior sister." Beika naturally knew what Diliya meant, but he still stuck to his own thoughts.

Upon hearing this reply, Diliya took a deep breath and then took out a Black Gold Token from her Storage Ring, on which the word "Polo" was clearly engraved.

"The former lord of the Bolo Domain has fallen. According to the domain's governing code, as the lord's Direct Lineage and sole descendant, I automatically inherit the lord's position, and I also possess the Black Gold Token, a symbol of the lord's authority. Now, in my capacity as lord, I command you to leave this planet with the Gu Ding Team. Without my permission, you are not to return to search for me!!!"

As she gave this order, tears welled up in Diliya's eyes. As Young Miss from a wealthy family, and with her limited speech, she too longed for someone to stay by her side and help her. But she also knew her situation well; if Beika continued to follow her, they would both perish sooner or later. The only way to save his life was to get Beika away from her.

"Senior sister..." Beika did not expect that Diliya would take out the Black Gold Token symbolizing her status as a lord and give her such an order.

"Do you intend to disobey orders?!" Diliya exclaimed, adding several exclamation marks to express her accusation. "If you choose to disobey, then I will have no choice but to banish you from the Bolo Domain according to the ruling code, and you will never be allowed to enter it again! You should think carefully about the consequences! The enforcement power of the Black Gold Token is irreversible; once activated, it will be effective forever."

"I..." Beika did not expect Diliya to be so resolute and insist on letting her leave.

After bowing her head and remaining silent for a moment, Beika raised her head again. "Alright, I choose to accept the order..."

He had barely finished speaking when he turned and left without looking back.

Diliya remained seated, staring blankly at the doorway, before finally letting out a long, You You -out sigh.

After Beika left, she went straight to Gu Ding and asked, "When are you leaving? I'll go with you."

Seeing Beika's dark face, Gu Ding guessed what had happened. He was curious about what Diliya had said to Beika to make him change his mind. Although Beika still looked very unwilling, Gu Ding did not ask, but simply nodded and replied, "Leave first thing tomorrow morning."

"I understand. Wake me up before you leave tomorrow morning," Beika said before turning and leaving.

"He really is an impatient person." Gu Ding shook his head and smiled, not delving into why Beika had suddenly changed her mind. He also noticed that Beika wasn't in a good mood, and even if he wanted to ask, now wasn't the time.

"Sea Emperor, inform everyone that we're departing first thing tomorrow morning!" Gu Ding quickly sent this message to the Sea Emperor.

"Understood!" Sea Emperor immediately sent the message to Liliath and the others.

Liliath replied the fastest, "Leaving tomorrow? What about Hake?"

"Don't worry about Hake, Beika is coming with us." Gu Ding sent this good news back to Liliath.

"Wasn't that guy very unfriendly to us? He even refused to treat us before." Liliath was still a little annoyed by Beika's attitude back then.

"I bet Diliya put in a good word for us," Gu Ding replied with a smile. "Although he refused us before, he's willing to help now. Just pretend nothing happened and don't give him a hard time."

"Okay, don't worry. Although I was a little annoyed before, I'm not that petty." Liliath knew that Gu Ding was specifically saying this to her. "After all, we still need his help to wake Hake." (To be continued~^~)
