Chapter 437: Chapter 437: The Most Familiar Stranger
Everyone in the underground boxing arena knew that anyone chasing after Habson was not to be trifled with, so they did not obstruct Ye Fan, instead letting him into the arena. Just like that, Ye Fan and Fire Phoenix saw each other face to face.
Ye Fan had no idea that this boxing arena was a base for the God Organization. With so many bases scattered around the world, wielding significant influence, it was impossible for him to know about the base in the Ba Country, even though it had been there for quite so ti.
Although the God Organization was not as powerful as it once was, the remaining strength and influence could not be underestimated.
At the mont he saw Fire Phoenix, Ye Fan was suddenly shocked. He never expected to see Shadow One again under these circumstances, which was completely unexpected. On the other hand, he also realized that the people around them were all mbers of the God Organization. The cold aura emanating from them was enough to show a lot of problems.
Fire Phoenix was much more complicated. No matter from which perspective, she and Ye Fan—or rather, she and the Terminator—had a deep-seated hatred. It was due to the Terminator’s reckless actions that the God Organization fell into decline and faced disaster. Because of the Terminator’s existence, she had always lived in the Terminator’s shadow, becoming the loneliest figure in the darkness.
The God Organization had gone to great lengths to turn the Terminator into a myth and legend. The two most powerful and youngest individuals born from the organization beca shadows of the Terminator, and Fire Phoenix was one of them.
It was precisely due to the cooperation of these two shadows that the Terminator gained a world-renowned reputation.
It is no exaggeration to say that without the efforts of Shadow One and Shadow Two, the Terminator would not have had its forr influence.
The facts proved that the God Organization succeeded. The na of the Terminator spread, causing heads of state around the world to be apprehensive. So small countries’ fear of the na Terminator surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.
This was also why, after the Terminator destroyed the upper echelon of the God Organization that created him, heads of state around the world rejoiced. It was also the crux of why they bestowed a god-like title upon the Terminator.
All the issues stemd from the fact that after the Terminator took down the leadership of the God Organization, the nations of the world dealt with a major threat.
"It’s you." Ye Fan was the first to speak, with gentle eyes and a voice so calm it held no emotion.
"Yes, it’s ." Fire Phoenix said blandly, the complexity in her beautiful eyes was clearly intense.
This complexity contained hatred and bla. The hatred was simple; no matter the motive, Ye Fan’s actions had caused her imnse pain. As for the bla, it held a special aning. In the past, when she was with the Terminator, the two were inseparable. She would confide any thought to the Terminator, who was her psychological support and her prince charming like a lover. Yes, she had feelings for the Terminator and had confessed before but was always rejected.
Seeing Ye Fan now, her heart could not calm down, caught in a dilemma of love and hate.
"I didn’t expect you to be here." Ye Fan spoke again, still as warm as a spring breeze, without a trace of sharpness.
"I didn’t expect you to be here either." Fire Phoenix’s indifferent face showed a faint bitter smile as she slowly said, "You’ve changed, a lot. You’re no longer as sharp as you once were."
"Changed?" Ye Fan murmured softly, the figure of ngyao appearing in his mind.
"Shall we talk sowhere else?" Fire Phoenix cautiously invited, "Would that be alright?"
Her intention was clear, to get the Terminator to abandon his pursuit of Habson.
"Okay." Ye Fan said faintly after a slight hesitation.
Those two words set off gigantic waves in Fire Phoenix’s heart. She suppressed her shock and secretly mused, "He’s changed, the Terminator has really changed. If it was before, nothing would matter in the face of a mission, and he certainly wouldn’t accept any compromise."
Ye Fan and Fire Phoenix, like two familiar strangers, walked together into a room.
"What’s happening? The intruder knows the lord?" The man in a suit was shocked, and the others were equally dumbstruck.
After a brief consideration, the man in a suit, out of caution, instructed, "Keep Habson under surveillance, discreetly, so Habson doesn’t notice anything amiss."
"Yes." The two n in black bowed and agreed, then went off to carry out their task.
Inside the room, Ye Fan sat casually, Fire Phoenix opened a bottle of liquor, poured a glass, and handed it to Ye Fan.
"Your favorite, vodka." Fire Phoenix said calmly.
"Thank you." Ye Fan replied.
"You’ve changed, you really have changed, from the inside out." Fire Phoenix said more and more shocked.
Ye Fan pondered seriously and said, "A person will change."
"That’s true; everything in the world changes, let alone humans. Humans are the easiest to change." Fire Phoenix smiled sadly, "The key is whether it’s a good change or a bad one."
"What about ? Which direction have I changed?" Ye Fan curiously asked.
"At a glance, you seem more manly, not like an assassin anymore." Fire Phoenix didn’t know how to answer, thought for a mont, then gave that answer, congratulating him, "Tonight is the first ti we’ve t in nearly a year, I toast to you."
Each with their own expressions, the two clinked glasses and drank their drinks in one go.
Fire Phoenix continued pouring wine, casually saying, "I thought I knew everything about you, but I didn’t even know your na, Ye Fan, such a simple and ordinary na."
Due to his previous identity, he never disclosed his origins to anyone, not even Shadow One, who spent ti with him day and night.
In this regard, Fire Phoenix naturally held so bla.
Ye Fan couldn’t respond to this, displaying a look of reminiscence.
"You know? I gave myself a na, Fire Phoenix." Fire Phoenix said with special emotions, "No longer Shadow One, that na that others couldn’t see, touch, or hear."
"Congratulations on having your own na." Ye Fan sincerely congratulated her.
"Thank you." Fire Phoenix smiled gently.
The two drank as they talked, not ntioning any issues related to conflict, not even the smallest matter like the Habson issue.
Because they both understood that once the pretense was gone, they would be enemies without end.
Before breaking the last barrier, they both wanted a brief peaceful conversation.
No need to worry about anything, ti seed to return to the old days, the years they spent amid the blades and swords, and the scenes of surviving with mutual encouragent in the cold training base.
