Chapter 979 Chapter 21: Conditional Promise
“I didn’t have a choice before.”
"Now I just want to be a good person."
A man's voice rang out in the dark Ten Thousand Demons Hall.
"Okay, tell the judge and see if he'll let you be a good person."
"This is going to kill me."
"I'm sorry, I'm a policeman."
Li Muhan came to Elias's cell and found that the old man was quite comfortable. He was sitting on the armchair and watching Infernal Affairs while drinking tea from a gaiwan.
"Ahem."
Li Muhan coughed.
"Room inspection, room inspection, please collect all the contraband."
Elias slowly sat up, looked at Li Muhan with his handsome face, and smiled slightly.
"My dear son-in-law, what new things have you brought me today?"
"I'm the landlord here, not your purchasing agent."
Despite saying this, Li Muhan still took out a neck massage chair from his pocket.
"It's very comfortable. I have a massage every day."
Elias took the gift and put it aside. He sighed and stood up and said.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
He couldn't see what was happening outside. Unlike Baal and Lucifer, Li Muhan did not give him the right to observe the outside world.
So Li Muhan lowered his head and said, "It's Xia Yue...she..."
Elias' body froze for a moment, then he walked to the edge of the cage.
"What happened to her?"
"......" Li Muhan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Elias's expression grew increasingly serious.
"I know I have no right to say such things. After all, I once planned to kill her, but please, Li Muhan, tell me, what happened to her?"
In the end, Li Muhan couldn't act anymore and he rolled his eyes at Elias.
"She was slightly injured, but don't worry, she's recovered and is eating heartily."
Elias breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Li Muhan and asked.
"Did you hit her?"
Li Muhan's eyes widened: "Brother, are you sick? I hit her!? I hit her?! I'm against Tian Gang!"
"Then why is she hurt?"
Elias no longer had the pleasant expression he had before.
I can only say that this handsome old man is really double-standard.
Don’t you see how cruel you were to your own daughter before?
Now that everything is peaceful, he doesn't need to sacrifice his daughter anymore, and he starts being a good father here again.
Li Muhan had great contempt for him.
No matter what Xia Yue said.
At least Li Muhan will never forgive Elias in his life.
It's not just because he once planned to kill Xia Yue, but also because he is Xia Yue's father.
A father actually wanted to kill his own...
Thinking of this, a name popped up in his mind.
A name I have never seen but have heard of.
Li Zhiqiu.
His real father.
"Okay, I'm too lazy to tell you fathers anymore. She went to the Nine-story Pagoda with me."
So Li Muhan told Elias about the matter.
Elias clenched his fists after hearing this.
"She's already a mother...she shouldn't be like that."
Then he looked at Li Muhan again.
"You too, you're already a father. You shouldn't act so rashly. You two are no longer alone. My grandchildren can't live without a dad."
"These things have nothing to do with you." Li Muhan interrupted him impatiently.
"But the reason you came here today has something to do with me, right?"
Li Muhan frowned and looked at Elias, but in the end he was too lazy to beat around the bush with him.
"I'm going to the Moon Palace. Now all the gates leading to the Heaven Palace have been destroyed, and the ladder to the Moon is gone, so we need to go to the Heaven Palace from the Moon Palace in a roundabout way."
Elias nodded thoughtfully.
"I can help you go to the Moon Palace. Although I was captured by the Heart of this world when the Moon Palace was built, I still have the ability to enter the hidden space on the moon."
"Tell me the conditions." Li Muhan said.
Elias smiled and nodded.
"Two points. First, I hope you and Xia Yue don't carry out this operation."
"I can let Xia Yue stay here, but I must go." Li Muhan said firmly.
Seeing Li Muhan's unwillingness to give in, Elias felt helpless.
"Well, okay, secondly, let me participate in this operation."
"you mean......"
"What I mean is, let me out of this prison for now. If you want to go, then let me follow you to heaven."
Li Muhan was in a dilemma.
This guy is a prisoner serving a life sentence and is one of the masterminds behind the End of the World incident. We can't let him go.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to discuss it with the Special Management Bureau."
"I'm waiting for you."
Elias raised his hand and patted Li Muhan on the shoulder.
"Believe me, when this is over, I will come back here and continue to pay for my sins."
Li Muhan glanced at the armchair and the high-definition TV and couldn't help but sneer.
"To pay for my sins... Sometimes I wonder if I'm too soft-hearted."
Without waiting for Elias to say anything, he sighed, waved his hand, then turned and disappeared at the end of the prison.
At 3 a.m., there was still a quarrel in the large conference room of Pingjing City.
Everyone was discussing whether to let Elias leave Pandemonium temporarily.
Chang Yue was sitting in the main seat and yawning, only Lin Ze was seriously directing the meeting process.
Li Muhan persuaded both sides.
The two sides are basically arguing about whether Elias is more dangerous than the Heavenly Court.
After all, he is also the heart of the world and one of the masterminds behind the end event.
Would the danger of letting him out be higher than that of Heaven?
One of the judges, a bearded man, said in a cold voice, "Aren't Elias's family still here? Why don't we arrest his family and then..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Muhan's fist had already hit the old man in the face.
His few teeth, which were already few in number, fell out almost instantly, and he collapsed to the ground, trembling.
"If you have the guts to say it again, who are you going to detain?"
Li Muhan, who had just been trying to persuade both sides in a friendly manner, now acted like a ghost. He grabbed the old man's hair and squeezed his face with his fists.
"say."
Everyone was stunned, and then looked at Lin Ze and Chang Yue.
Chang Yue was already snoring, and Lin Ze sighed and said.
"Be careful, there may be people who are still unclear about the situation. Elias's eldest daughter, Xia Liya, is Li Muhan's wife, so please stop saying such things."
"Damn it."
Lei Jian suddenly slammed the table and stood up, glancing at everyone and said.
"No, I'm telling you, what the hell are you guys discussing here?! The Ten Thousand Demons Palace isn't part of the Huaxia Special Management Bureau! Don't you have any idea why Li Muhan is staying at the Huaxia Special Management Bureau?! It's for Director Lin's sake."
"I just want to say, how many times have I risked my life to save the world? How many times?! I want you to understand something!"
Lei Jian's voice rose again.
"Elias! No matter how heinous his crimes are, he's still Li Muhan's prisoner. He has nothing to do with our Huaxia Special Management Bureau! Whether they want to release Elias or not is their business! What the hell are you guys doing holding a meeting here? Do you really think you're a piece of cake?!"
After hearing this, the faces of those opposition members who relied on their seniority turned pale.
Many elderly people shook their heads and sighed.
Some were still muttering to themselves that the Special Management Bureau had changed and was no longer their world.
Finally, Lei Jian looked at Li Muhan and roared.
"You too! Do you act like a hero?! You don't have to listen to anyone's orders except Lin Ze and your wife! You listen to Lin Ze's orders because it's a sign of brotherly love, and you listen to your wife's orders because it's only natural. As for us, damn it, we should be the ones begging you to come out and save the world! Got it! Don't be so fucking timid! Do whatever you want! Even if you want to stand on top of the World Trade Center and masturbate, or do a Crescent Moon Sky Clash, no one can stop you!"
Lei Jian's words left Li Muhan dumbfounded.
