After returning to the villa, the impact of this false alarm quietly dissipated, and the underlying turmoil drifted away with the wind. Whether it was the actions of the Dragon or the Ye Gang's grand commotion, it all concluded with a perfect ending, making everyone happy.
Shen Yaqing watched as Ye Fan, Mengyao, and the others returned unharmed and naturally felt relieved.
"What's going on with you all? All the way back, you've been hesitant to speak, your cautious glances at Fanfan filled with unprecedented respect, and an indescribable peculiarity. What exactly is happening?" Chu Biyao asked Han Bihong and the other women, full of confusion.
"Just say what's on your mind, no need to beat around the bush." Mengyao's confused eyes flickered as she glanced at Ye Fan, knowing that it was all related to him.
"..." Han Bihong and her group exchanged awkward glances and stayed silent. They dared not speak recklessly, not even daring to meet Ye Fan's eyes directly.
This only made Mengyao and her sister even more puzzled. What's the situation here? Why so mysterious?
"Just say what's on your mind. I'm going to take a shower; you all can keep chatting." Ye Fan calmly walked away, knowing that his identity as Terminator could no longer be hidden. Han Bihong and her group had already guessed his identity from the clues, so there was no need to keep it from Mengyao anymore. He previously refrained from saying anything to avoid putting pressure on others, but now the secret wouldn't stay hidden.
He had a premonition that Zhang Lu's organization might confront him as soon as they found the opportunity.
"Go ahead, he's no longer trying to hide anything, so you might as well stop hesitating. When you saw Fire Phoenix, your attitude was already unusual. At that time, you didn't know she was a friend, but you expressed a level of respect that wasn't ordinary, similar to how a small creature in the forest would view a tiger with innate reverence." Mengyao said softly.
"CEO, big star, we've guessed our benefactor's past identity, hence the respect and fear it's instilled in us. This emotion is ingrained within us, known only to those in the Underworld or professional assassins. His identity is truly astonishing." Du Xueqi glanced at Ye Fan's figure as he entered the bathroom and spoke in shock.
"What identity exactly?" Chu Biyao fell silent, and her expression became exceptionally serious. She's smart; from Fire Phoenix to Ye Fan, she foresaw that Ye Fan's past might be extraordinary.
"Our benefactor is the Terminator," Han Bihong blurted out.
"Cough, cough, cough, what did you say? How is that possible?" Shen Yaqing choked and nearly spat out her water in disbelief.
While Ye Fan went to shower, Han Bihong and her group's demeanor turned slightly constrained. Mengyao and Biyao were full of curiosity, while Shen Yaqing wore an aloof expression that seemingly suggested indifference, all sitting together with varying emotions as they began to talk.
But as soon as Han Bihong revealed Ye Fan as the Terminator, Shen Yaqing was utterly shocked.
It sounded ridiculous to her. After all, she knew Ye Fan as her idol's close buddy—how could he possibly be the Terminator? How could this be? The elusive Terminator, meeting her by chance?
She believed her idol was the Terminator, and Ye Fan was just her idol's sidekick. How could they be the same person?
"Big-boobs hacker, don't be so easily startled, careful not to choke," Chu Biyao poked Shen Yaqing on the head, chiding, "We're learning about Fanfan's identity, what concern is it to you that it seems impossible? What do you know?"
"Of course I know. My idol is the Terminator; how could I not know?" Shen Yaqing asserted confidently. "Ye Fan told me himself; he's the Terminator's close buddy. How could he possibly be the Terminator?"
"Have you seen the Terminator? How did the Terminator become your idol?" Chu Biyao pressed with keen interest.
"No, I haven't seen the Terminator. If I had, would I still be myself?" Shen Yaqing replied, lacking confidence.
"Then that's settled. Stop interrupting and just listen patiently," Chu Biyao advised.
Mengyao gave Shen Yaqing a meaningful glance and said, "Back in Ba Country, no wonder you readily separated from the Night Cat Squad and came back with us. It turns out you believed Ye Fan when he said he's the Terminator's buddy, and that's why you kept referring to Ye Fan as being your idol's close buddy. We asked for the reason and you never explained, and so that's been the situation."
"Could he really be the Terminator?" Shen Yaqing gradually regained her senses, making her own judgment and gasping as she covered her mouth, muttering quietly, "It seems he truly is the Terminator. How could there be any close buddies for the Terminator? I actually believed him back then—how infuriating. But no, it's not infuriating at all. Being deceived by the Terminator is a supreme honor."
"What's the Terminator? A nickname?" Mengyao and Biyao were a bit unfamiliar with the term, being so distant from the Underworld that they had no conceivable connections.
"The benefactor's nickname is the Terminator, which, as the name implies, means the ability to end everything. In the Underworld, he's described in four words: omnipotent. He was once an assassin, a legend, and myth created by the God Organization, the most formidable force in the Underworld that countless countries feared like a tiger. No matter how challenging the mission, it could be effortlessly accomplished by him."
"In his hands, there's never been an incomplete task. With his mastery of various skills, he could navigate through different security systems, entering and exiting forbidden areas freely and unimpeded."
"In the Underworld, the name 'Terminator' signifies legend and myth, evoking respect, fear, or reverence."
"Of course, for the outside world, the God Organization stands as a notorious evil."
"To this day, no one understands why the Terminator turned on the God Organization, wiping out nearly all its high-ranking members."
"The Terminator's actions are viewed negatively in the Underworld for turning against the organization that nurtured him. This is a thorn in the side for the entire Underworld, but for the outside world, the Terminator's actions rid the world of the God Organization's malignancy, prompting global leaders to extend olive branches, bestowing him with the honorary title of the God Organization's head."
"Afterward, the Terminator vanished without a trace. Who would have thought it would be our benefactor that we encountered?"
Han Bihong and her group, gathering their words, spoke with reverence and remembrance, recounting all at once.
