Chapter 1415: Borrowing a Knife Again

Helena asked intimately again, "Little handsome guy, I didn't expect your news to be so well-informed. How did you know I came to the Federal Capital?"

"I… I don't know!"

Ye Bufan looked bewildered. Then, the scene of Miss Romons hastily leaving appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. He didn't know what happened at the time, but now it seems the Divine Court must have arrived.

"Stop pretending. If you didn't know, how would you have brought me here?"

Helena was convinced that Ye Bufan had brought her here. Only someone with his cultivation could have taken her away from the Lorraine Family without anyone noticing.

"Little handsome guy, I know what you want to do. I like you. Since you like me too, let's start…"

Helena's luscious tongue licked her sexy red lips. Then, she surprisingly tore her nightgown in half with both hands, revealing her alluring figure to the air.

"Uh…"

Ye Bufan immediately felt a blinding white light before his eyes. The immense impact made him dizzy, and Lu Banxia's words echoed in his ears: this woman was indeed a big milk cow.

Just then, Helena had already thrown herself into his arms. Ye Bufan quickly pushed her away, but his hands met smooth skin again.

"Um… wait a moment."

He desperately circulated his Chaotic True Qi to suppress the flame within his body.

"Helena, I think you've misunderstood. We need to clarify some things. Don't move yet; let me explain slowly."

Ye Bufan swallowed hard and quickly pulled the quilt to cover the woman's body, then let out a long sigh of relief.

"I truly didn't know you came to the Federal Capital, nor did I bring you here. What exactly is going on? Didn't you come by yourself?"

Helena was also a bit confused. "Little handsome guy, are you sure you're not joking with me?"

"Of course not. I've been in the hotel the whole time and haven't left. How could I have brought you here? And I had no idea about you."

Helena also realized something was wrong and said with a puzzled expression, "Then that's strange. Who exactly captured me? Even if someone wanted to capture me, why would they send me here? Do they know about our relationship?"

Ye Bufan asked, "What exactly happened? You need to explain clearly."

"It's like this…"

Helena didn't hide anything from him. She recounted how much she missed Ye Bufan after returning, and how she came to the Federal Capital, until she was suddenly knocked unconscious and woke up here.

"Little handsome guy, that's how it is. The Lorraine Family's defenses are extremely tight, and there's also a Cardinal and a Holy Knight guarding it. Besides you, I really can't think of anyone else who could have brought me here…"

After she finished speaking, Ye Bufan was also very puzzled. Kidnapping a Yellow-robed High Priestess from the Lorraine Family was a very dangerous thing no matter what. Since the other party took such a big risk, why would they send her to him? Were they trying to be a good Samaritan? Thinking of this, he shook his head; there was no such possibility.

If it wasn't to do a good deed, then they had an ulterior motive. What was their objective?

Thinking of this, Ye Bufan's heart suddenly stirred. If he didn't know Helena and didn't have the previous relationship of saving her, what would be the result if a Yellow-robed High Priestess was suddenly sent to him?

Helena probably wouldn't believe his explanation, and the Divine Court certainly wouldn't. At that time, it would bring him utter disaster.

Using a borrowed knife to kill, it was using a borrowed knife to kill again!

The familiar formula, the familiar taste. Last time, they borrowed the Lorraine Family's knife, but unfortunately, it didn't succeed. This time, they wanted to borrow the Divine Court's knife to eliminate him. The other party was truly cunning.

Although there was no evidence now, in the Federal Capital, no one could have done this seamlessly except for the Berick Family Head.

He had long heard that Denniston, that woman, was full of schemes. Now it seemed to be true. She had already made two deadly moves without him realizing it, and each one was more vicious than the last.

If it weren't for his relationship with Helena this time, he probably wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Kidnapping a Yellow-robed High Priestess in the middle of the night with ill intentions—such an act would surely incur the Divine Court's wrath.

It must be said that the trap Denniston planned was ruthless enough, almost unsolvable once executed. But man proposes, God disposes, and the outcome would be completely different from what she expected.

Helena said, "Little handsome guy, what are you thinking about? Have you guessed who did it?"

"I've mostly guessed some things…"

Ye Bufan explained his thoughts from beginning to end, finally saying, "The other party stole you and put you on my bed with the aim of provoking the Divine Court's anger, and then using a borrowed knife to kill. Either let the Divine Court kill me, or both sides suffer heavy losses. No matter the outcome, it would bring them immense benefits."

"Damn it, that's truly malicious."

Helena said this without much anger, instead giggling, "But I still have to thank that guy for letting me find my Little handsome guy so quickly, and even sending me to your bed."

Saying this, she suddenly threw off the quilt, "Since it's fate, let's begin."

"Uh…"

Ye Bufan immediately felt his nostrils heat up. It had to be said that a woman as incredibly sexy as Helena had a fatal attraction for any normal man, and he was no exception.

A large bed and a woman as passionate as fire instantly shattered his psychological defenses like a decaying force. Just as he was about to abandon all restraint, a sudden commotion came from outside the hotel.

At the Lorraine Family, Sophie stood under the showerhead, letting the warm water wash over her body.

At this moment, her mind was completely filled with Ye Tian's image. Ever since she met that domineering man, her heart had completely fallen, and she couldn't shake him off no matter what.

However, she and Helena had two completely different personalities. Many things were kept deep in her heart, and she wasn't used to expressing them, but in fact, her longing was no less.

It was precisely because of this that she ultimately couldn't refuse her best friend's suggestion and decided to sneak out later to see her beloved.

After showering, she got dressed and walked out of the bathroom again, only to be surprised to find Helena gone.

"Helena?"

At first, she didn't pay attention, but after calling out a few times with no response, and searching the entire room without seeing anyone, Sophie immediately became nervous. Then her gaze fell on the overturned red wine glass, the crimson liquid spilled on the tea table, still not dry.

"Oh no, something happened!"

Sophie immediately realized something was wrong. Even if Helena were to leave, she wouldn't do so silently; she would definitely say goodbye. So now there was only one possibility: she had been kidnapped.

But this was the Lorraine Family, guarded by a Cardinal and a Holy Knight. Who could have done this, silently abducting Helena?

Recalling her previous danger at the Ghost Witch Sect, she immediately became flustered and rushed towards Cardinal Casillas's room.
