"Those two were the ones who tried to attack my little brother first. Can't I protect him?"
Her peach-pink eyes looked at Ye Linwan, and an absolute suppression that transcended all Life instantly swept over every cell in her body.
Her cells were refusing to fight, or rather, even her cells had begun to feel fear.
Even though her body had begun to tremble slightly, Ye Linwan showed no fear, and the aura of the Human Limit combat power surged forth.
Two powerful auras began to collide within the room.
Everyone present froze, and a commotion began to rise.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing to Ye Linwan? Even if you're a business partner, you can't be this insolent!"
Lin Wushuang suddenly stood up, a blue light gathering in his hand, which he aimed at Hela.
The child who was sitting next to Ye Ciqing ran over to Ye Linwan and stretched out his little hands to protect her.
"Fight! Fight!" Akahisa, who had been watching the Chi Jiu from the sidelines, excitedly waved his fist.
The others frowned, but none of them acted rashly.
At the heart of the matter, Aidan's mind had completely shut down. He desperately wanted to do something, but found himself utterly clueless about what to say.
I could only stand there, sweating profusely and feeling completely lost, as if I were about to faint at any moment.
"Want to make a move?"
In an instant.
Countless scarlet eyes sprouted from the surrounding walls, like terrifying predators, staring intently at the group about to make their move.
Everyone's pupils contracted, and the feeling of death shot straight to the top of their heads.
One by one, tentacles with sharp blades appeared beside everyone except Ye Linwan.
Like a venomous snake toying with its prey, it slithers relentlessly in their vital spots.
The terrifying pressure emanating from the eyes in the surrounding walls and ceiling caused Chi Jiu to collapse onto the table, clutching his head and curling up in fear.
"Stop fighting... Don't kill."
The scene fell into a stalemate; the air seemed to freeze, and no one dared to breathe.
In the silent scene, only the energies of Ye Linwan and Hela continued their relentless struggle.
Its peach-pink pupils flickered slightly, and the two tentacles, which had been blocked by the spider web, exerted force once more.
"Don't you dare move again!"
The scythe-like spider web, like a snapping blade, suddenly grew from behind Ye Linwan.
They launched a direct attack on Hela.
"That's enough, stop now."
A calm, ethereal voice drifted over, as if by magic, freezing Ye Linwan in place.
Hela, however, continued eating calmly.
Bang.
Nan Tian gently placed his teacup on the table, making a dull, wooden tapping sound.
His gaze swept over the chaotic crowd.
"Everyone, stop now."
"But... she almost hurt my son!" Ye Linwan was so anxious she was jumping up and down.
"However, it was indeed Ye Yiqing and his group who made the first move. Please sit down."
Ye Linwan glared angrily at Nan Tian, then glanced at Hela before finally slumping down and letting out a sigh.
"Okay... but you have to get her to stop attacking first."
As he spoke, he pointed to the tentacles that were stabbing at Ye Yiqing and the others, as well as the bloody, fleshy eyes that were growing all around them.
Nan Tian nodded slightly and turned to look at Hela.
"We apologize; we were indeed at fault this time. Please don't take it to heart."
I'll make it up to you later.
"Okay, sure."
Hela didn't press the issue. After nodding, her tentacles slowly retracted into the wall, and all the surrounding flesh and blood vanished without a trace.
At this point, Ye Ciqing and Ye Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief, with the former slumping back onto the bench.
He then realized that his clothes were already soaked with sweat and clung tightly to his skin.
" Ciqing, are you alright?!"
Ichika quickly took out a tissue to wipe his sweat, while checking him for injuries with a pained expression.
Ye Yiqing, on the other hand, calmly sheathed his knife, glanced at Aidan, and then turned to bow slightly to Hela.
"I'm sorry, it was definitely my fault this time. I almost hurt your little brother. I'm really sorry."
Ye Yiqing's attitude was extremely sincere, but Hela acted as if she didn't see him at all, turning her head away and continuing to eat.
Ye Linwan looked at Hela, wanting to say something but hesitating, so she simply sat back down and started eating.
You eat too.
Seeing that Aidan was still standing there blankly, Hela threw a chicken leg at him.
The latter hurriedly caught it, glanced around, and slowly moved himself to an empty seat.
Hela ate the meal with great ease, but Aidan felt like she was in hell.
Is this the legendary battleground...?
Aidan swallowed hard, feeling that the most painful torture in the world couldn't compare to her current situation.
The meal ended both quickly and slowly.
"Alright, everyone, go back and rest. I'm sorry this dinner didn't bring everyone joy."
As Nan Tian finished speaking, the rest of the Light God Society set off to return to their temporary resting place.
Hela reluctantly put down the food in her hands and got up to leave under Aidan's pleading gaze.
"That Hela, wait."
Just as Hela was leaving the venue, someone called out to her from behind.
"What are you doing?" Hela turned around to look at Ye Linwan was standing behind her somewhat awkwardly.
Ye Linwan, with her two sons by her side, clasped her hands behind her back, her eyes darting downwards.
After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"Um... I'm sorry... it was indeed my son and his friends who started it. They were just too emotional at the time. Please don't mind it..."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and her face slowly turned red.
"Oh, it's nothing."
"Hmm, are you really alright?"
"Mm." Hela nodded honestly.
"Really?" Ye Linwan was still a little uneasy and asked again cautiously.
"What do you think I could do, like yell at you or bite you?"
"Puff..."
Hearing Hela say such words in a completely emotionless voice, Aidan, who had been standing to the side with her head down, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Realizing what had happened, she blushed and immediately buried her head. Ye Ciqing couldn't help but smile.
Ye Linwan breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your generosity. Let's remain friendly partners from now on."
"You two should apologize again."
"I'm sorry~"
I apologize again.
After replying with a few perfunctory words, Hela turned and left with Aidan.
With a reminder from [X], Hela finally arrived at the room that the Light God Society arranged for her after many twists and turns.
It's more like a house than a room, as it's almost completely disconnected from the rest of the Shimizu Residence, except for an open-air corridor connecting it to the main building.
Hela had only ever seen this architectural style in Japan.
