C853 They Didn't Know Each Other

Strider stood where he was, his eyes cold as he asked, "When are you going to return our freedom?"

A furious expression was plastered on the face of the Heavenly King as he shouted coldly. "Now is the time for you to bargain with me!"

"Hurry up and go do your thing, we'll talk about this later!"

Strider, however, did not move at all. He did not have the slightest intention of leaving.

The Heavenly King was full of anger, but a smile appeared on his face. "How about this? As long as you kill Loong Wei for me, I will return you and your daughter's freedom!"

Strider hesitated for a while, then nodded and left.

"Master, master!" At this moment, Tao Ke rushed in from outside and met Strider at the door.

Strider's eyes were full of love. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Tao Ke's face, but he held it in.

Tao Ke looked at Strider with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that? Do you know me?"

"Your mask..."

Strider was shocked and quickly walked out.

"Stop, I am asking you a question!" Tao Ke shouted and chased after him.

Strider kicked him away quickly.

He felt extremely miserable in his heart. He was probably the most defeated father in this world. He was so close to his biological daughter, but he didn't dare to recognize her. He could only face her with a mask.

However, he had no choice. Everything he did was for Tao Ke's sake.

The freedom he and the Heavenly King wanted wasn't his own freedom, but Tao Ke's.

The Heavenly King ordered him to do things by controlling Tao Ke. He knew this, the Heavenly King knew it, but Tao Ke knew nothing about it.

This time, as long as he killed Loong Wei, Tao Ke would be able to regain his freedom, and they would be able to reunite as father and daughter.

At the thought of this, Strider felt a little hopeful in his heart. "Good daughter. As long as we get rid of Loong Wei, we will be able to leave the Mountain River Society and never be threatened by them again."

Tao Ke, who was covered by the drum, was still in hot pursuit. Just as he was about to chase after Loong Wei for more than a hundred meters, the voice of a Heavenly King suddenly sounded behind him. "Ke Er, come back!"

There was a hint of pampering mixed in the dignified voice.

Tao Ke looked around and could not see any trace of Strider anymore. Helpless, he could only turn around and return to the villa.

"Master, the coast of Hu City was attacked by an unknown force. Have you heard about this?"

Heavenly King nodded indifferently and asked back. "You came to find me for this matter?"

Tao Ke's pretty face turned red and her expression became bashful. "Master, this time it was Loong Wei who brought his men to stop the invasion. He saved Hu City and indirectly saved our Mountain River Society. Otherwise, we would have suffered the same fate."

"Can you stop attacking him? Can you let him go?"

Heavenly King looked at Tao Ke with a complicated expression and said helplessly, "Is it because you have taken a liking to Loong Wei? Why do you always come to me to talk about him?"

Tao Ke's red face instantly tensed up. He retorted. "I don't like that stinky man. He saved my life before. I just want to repay his kindness."

The Heavenly King shook his head and no longer argued with her. He pointed at the plates of pastries on the table and smiled: "These pastries were sent by your father. Hurry and try them."

Tao Ke was overjoyed when he heard that. He shook the Heavenly King's arm and asked, "Master, you didn't lie to me, right? This was really sent by my father?"

"I know. That masked man must have been sent by my father. I was wondering why he kept staring at me!"

The Heavenly King smiled and nodded.

Tao Ke did not say much. He happily packed the few plates of desserts and looked up with a smile. "Master, I know you don't like to eat desserts, so I will take them all with me!"

The Heavenly King pinched her face lovingly. "If you are gluttonous, then say that you are gluttonous. What excuse are you looking for? Is Master going to snatch your food?"

"Haha, I knew Master would be the best to me!" After saying that, Tao Ke skipped away with a smile on his face.

When he returned to his apartment, Tao Ke sat down on the ground and hugged the snacks in his arms. Tears streamed down Tao Ke's face.

He carefully placed a piece of dessert into his mouth. It was an endless sweetness.

Tao Ke did not know much about his father. He only knew that his father was working for the Heavenly King, but he was unwilling to see him.

Tao Ke knew very well that his father was most likely under the control of the Heavenly King, which was why he couldn't recognize him.

Although he had guessed correctly, Tao Ke couldn't do anything. He could only force a smile in front of the Heavenly King, hoping that his father would take him away one day and leave the Mountain River Society forever.

At this moment, the Heavenly King was still drinking tea in the villa.

A black shadow suddenly appeared and bowed. "Greetings, heavenly King."

Heavenly King put down the teacup in his hand and asked coldly, "Did she eat those desserts?"

The black shadow answered respectfully, "Yes, she did. Not a single piece was left!"

The corners of the Heavenly King's mouth curled into a sinister smile and he asked again, "Did she notice anything?"

The black shadow hesitated for a moment before replying, "Although she cried while eating, she did not find anything wrong with it."

Hearing this, the Heavenly King was completely relieved. He picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea.

Before the poison he had inflicted on her flared up, no matter how good a doctor was, they would definitely not be able to find out.

In the evening, Hee Wanqiu went straight home after work.

At this moment, Loong Wei was practicing his boxing behind her.

Hee Wanqiu did not disturb him. She quietly watched from the side, her gaze becoming more and more obsessed.

After finishing the set of fist techniques, Loong Wei stopped and walked towards Hee Wanqiu. He smiled and asked, "Why did you get off work so early today?"

After the crisis of life and death in Hee Group a while ago, they had just gotten on the right track recently. Every day, they had endless things to do.

If it wasn't for Loong Wei staying at home, Hee Wanqiu probably wouldn't have bothered to go home. She would have just stayed in the office.

When Loong Wei's voice was heard, Hee Wanqiu withdrew her infatuated gaze and smiled indifferently. "There is a banquet tonight. Will you come with me?"

Seeing that Loong Wei did not speak, Hee Wanqiu carefully said, "Although Hee Group is on the right track, there are still many people eyeing the company covetously. I am worried..."

Loong Wei hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I will go with you."

Hee Wanqiu suddenly smiled and her eyes lit up. She was thinking about which clothes to wear to leave a deep impression on Loong Wei.

After a moment, she hesitantly asked Loong Wei, "You don't seem to have a suit, do you?"

Thinking about it carefully, Hee Wanqiu seemed to have never seen Loong Wei wear a suit.

Loong Wei shook his head.0

Hee Wanqiu looked at the time and nodded. "It's alright. It's still early. I'll bring you to buy it."

After a pause, Hee Wanqiu continued, "Wait for me. I'll go and change clothes."

Five minutes later, Hee Wanqiu returned and changed into a dark grey casual outfit.

It was somewhat similar to the clothes Loong Wei was wearing. It looked like a couple's outfit.

Loong Wei smiled helplessly. Hee Wanqiu's little thoughts naturally could not be hidden from him.

"Alright, let's go!" Hee Wanqiu held Loong Wei's arm and the two of them walked out of the villa.
