The Most Powerful Bodyguard-Chapter 884: The Mysterious Black Box Connected to Calamity

"Haha! You're not being fair, kid. An Yi has written to the family, he treats you like his own brother!"

Situ Hongyi said with a smile.

"Brother? Him? Old man, let me be frank with you!"

"The reason I don't get along with your Situ Family and the Heaven and Earth Society is because of that treacherous guy."

"If you knew how he tricked me, I bet you'd never say such a thing again."

"Haha! You brat, he mentioned some of the things he did to you in his letters."

"But he also said they were really for your own good, you know!"

Situ Hongyi said nonchalantly.

"Uh—forget it! Only two people in this world have truly tricked me."

"One is Ao Tian, and the other is Situ Anyi."

"Ao Tian's pranks were minor, like coaxing me to watch the Frost Giant Wolf take a bath."

"But Situ Anyi, he would go visit sex workers, and once he's done, trick me into paying the bill."

"And that would be fine, but the crucial thing is, he would tell me beforehand not to bring money."

"He'd make it sound like some battle? I've been utterly fooled by such a guy."

"You know, he only visits women from the Hidden World."

"And moreover, he wouldn't mess with those who don't have much influence or strength."

"He'd promise them some legendary weapon or something, and then turn around and sell me out."

Talking about this, Yang Yan couldn't help but fume.

Back in the day, he was horribly deceived by that guy.

If you really think about it, his present strength is inseparable from that trickster.

After all, constantly battling those considered black forces even in the Hidden World, how could his strength not be robust?

"Haha! That scoundrel is still the same, huh! Knowing he hasn't changed gives me peace of mind."

Situ Hongyi laughed heartily and walked towards the villa.

As he just left, a black box mysteriously appeared on the ground.

"Back then, the Lance of Longinus was obtained from this."

"I bought this box from an old market in Manhattan. Now, this artifact is yours!"

"For us in the Heaven and Earth Society, this thing is nothing short of a death warrant."

"Be prepared; at dawn tomorrow, I'll spread the news that you've obtained the box."

Situ Hongyi said as he walked away.

"What a sly old fox."

Seeing Situ Hongyi leave, Yang Yan glanced at the box on the ground.

The box was identical to the one Miller brought over last time.

If he weren't sure the box was still with Miller, Yang Yan might have thought it was Miller's box.

Returning to the villa, Yang Yan tossed the box to some friends who were toothpicking, briefly explaining and then ignoring their surprised faces, went to his room to sleep.

He slept soundly, not spending another thought on the box.

The next morning, Yang Yan stretched out in his room, and then walked directly to the living room.

"Why are you here so early?"

Yang Yan asked Situ Tingting, somewhat surprised.

"Did the ancestor say something to you last night? Or give you something?"

Situ Tingting said anxiously.

"Yeah, he gave me a box, why?"

Yang Yan asked suspiciously.

Situ Tingting's eyes widened as she said anxiously:

"It's spreading outside now! They're saying the box is an ancient artifact!"

"If you obtain the box and meet certain conditions, you can have any treasure you desire."

"They even emphasize, the Lance of Longinus was obtained through that box."

"Haha! Your ancestor sure moves quickly, already spreading the news."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"What's going on? You don't seem to care at all?"

Situ Tingting thought her ancestor had betrayed Yang Yan, feeling bad about it.

But now looking at his expression, maybe things aren't as they seemed?

"Relax! Your ancestor already clued me in on this; he told me about it when he gave me the box last night."

Yang Yan said lightly.

"Ah? Then why do you still want the box?"

Situ Tingting asked incredulously:

"Don't you know they've made the box out to be all-powerful outside? If they know you have it and want to snatch it, what will you do?"

"You silly girl, worrying needlessly!"

Fenrir appeared out of nowhere, teasing:

"Who's this guy? One of the Four Emperors with the Moonlight title!"

"And those gullible enough to believe rumors think they can harm him? That's a cosmic joke!"

Not only Fenrir but a few others appeared as well.

But seeing their fatigued faces, Yang Yan realized they had probably spent the night researching the box.

"So, it seems like you figured something out?"

Yang Yan teased.

"Tch! I wondered why you just tossed it to us as soon as you came in; obviously, you had ulterior motives!"

"We three studied the box but couldn't come to any concrete conclusions. It just seems to be related to a great disaster."

At this, the three's expressions turned solemn.

Though Yang Yan didn't know what "great disaster" meant, just by their expressions, he knew this matter wasn't simple.

"Disaster? What disaster?"

Situ Tingting asked suspiciously.

"Girl, don't ask any more questions; your strength is too weak, knowing this does you no good."

"Come on! The competition should be starting soon; let's see what this Satan is capable of!"

Kafir laughed and said.

Satan, in the modern world, refers to the fallen angel recorded in the Bible, commonly known as the devil.

He fell due to pride and arrogance, aspiring to be equal with God, leading a rebellion with a third of the angels, before being expelled from the Celestial Kingdom.

Of course, this is the biblical account.

And such tales are always written by the victors.

In the Hidden World, they were just factions within the same power struggle, and Satan's faction ultimately lost.

"Hey! You guys say there's a legend that Satan wasn't there seven of them? How come such a powerful force lost to Yahweh?"

Kashu asked with a smile.

"There's no such thing."

Yang Yan shook his head gently, saying calmly:

"There was never seven Satans, and Satan isn't a title, but a designation; a title representing the first traitor."

Kashu said in confusion:

"Is that so? Even the first traitor gets a title?"
