Chapter 169
Egbert didn’t see it coming that Eileen would suddenly show up..
He squinted at the two of them, locked in a heated battle out of nowhere.
NightKing was crafty and fought dirty.
Egbert had thought that Eileen would be at a disadvantage against NightKing.
But to his surprise, they were trading blows evenly, and Eileen wasn’t getting overpowered at all.
However, her fighting style…
Egbert frowned slightly.
Just then, NightKing’s hand subtly moved to the side of his lower back.
“Eileen,” Egbert called out instantly.
His voice was soft.
The girl who had been in the midst of a fierce fight suddenly slowed down.
Like a high-speed engine, instantly hitting the pause button.
Eileen paused, turned around, her lips tightly pressed together, looking at Egbert.
Looking into her eyes, Egbert said, “Come here.”
Eileen was a bit defiant, but eventually, she slowly walked over to Egbert.
NightKing scoffed, withdrawing his hand from his lower back.
Eileen walked to the side of Egbert’s bed and grumbled reluctantly, “Egbert, he’s a bad guy, let me beat
him up… He was about to draw his gun, I saw it. But he has a habit, when he turns his body to the
side, he leans about thirty-five degrees to the right. I was well-prepared, the moment he touches his
holster, I’ll grab his fingers, with 70% of my strength, I can break two of his fingers. With his fingers
broken, one of his hands will lose its agility, then I’ll kick him in the lower back. If I’m lucky, I can make
him spit blood.”
Egbert was speechless.
So was NightKing.
NightKing frowned, his long fingers instinctively touching the side of his waist.
He was missing a part of organ in that area, if it was hit hard, he would indeed be very likely to spit
blood due to internal injuries.
But how did this woman know about his habit of leaning to the right when he turns his body to the side?

Has Crestonia’s military investigation of him reached this level of precision?
NightKing remained silent.
Egbert also stared at Eileen intensely for a moment.
How did she know about NightKing’s fighting habits?
But Egbert didn’t say much, he pulled her to sit by his bed, saying, “You can’t beat him.”
NightKing was only using 50% of his strength while Eileen was already at 80%.
Eileen immediately frowned.
Was he looking down on her?
If it was a fair fight, she indeed couldn’t beat NightKing, but she had the upper hand!
Eileen immediately stood up and lunged forward, “I can beat him, if you don’t believe me, I’ll show you
right now.”
Egbert pushed her back down and said helplessly, “Sit down.”
Eileen pursed her lips, and finally stopped struggling and obediently sat down.
NightKing stood on the other side of the bed, his gray eyes quietly observing the two of them,
scrutinizing.
At this point, Egbert looked at Eileen and asked, “How did you get out?”
Eileen bit her lip, not daring to admit that she had climbed over the wall. So she shifted the topic and
asked, “Are you hungry? I brought you soup!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately went to get the thermos on the cabinet, opened the
lid, and handed it to Egbert, “Take it while it’s warm!”
Egbert took the thermos with one hand, glanced at her, and then took a sip of the soup to taste it.
Eileen immediately asked, “Is it good?”
Egbert nodded.
Eileen was very pleased.
Egbert asked, “Did you make it?”
Eileen replied, “No, it was made by the cafeteria chef.”
Egbert was speechless.
Egbert was silent for a while, he put the soup aside and said, “I’ll take it later.”
Eileen frowned, “It’ll get cold.”
Egbert put the lid back on and said, “You should go back.”
Eileen immediately pouted, turned her head and pointed at NightKing and said, “I can leave, but he has
to leave tool”
NightKing squinted his eyes and said coldly, “You seem to dislike me very much?”
Eileen didn’t answer him, and just turned to Egbert and said, “This guy is very dangerous. I’m not
comfortable with you two being alone together!”
Egbert didn’t respond.
Eileen crossed her arms and said arrogantly, “Anyway, I’m not leaving. Have someone carry me out.”
Just as she finished speaking, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open.
Two sweaty staff members from the show walked in. Seeing Elleen there as expected, they
immediately reported back to the director via walkie-talkie, “We found her, she ran back here!”
From the other end of the walkie-talkie, the director’s voice came through, “Bring her back!”
“Roger that!”
The two staff members approached and reached out to grab Eileen.
Eileen was startled.
She immediately ran to the other side of the bed, grabbed Egbert’s arm and said, “Remember to take
the soup.”
Then she dodged the staff members while pleading, “I’ll go right away, I’ll go back, I know I was wrong,
I’ll walk myself, can I walk myself…”
In the end, Eileen was still taken away.
Egbert, who witnessed everything, was speechless.
So was NightKing.
Once the ward/quieted down.
NightKing looked at Egbert, who had a helpless expression on his face, and said, “You two aren’t
dating, are you?”
Egbert was taken aback, and then gave him a cold glance.
NightKing smiled, “It seems like our captain isn’t very good at handling relationships.”
Egbert said coldly, “You should go.”
NightKing smiled slightly, “No rush, even if we can’t reach an agreement, there’s nothing wrong with
having a chat. So, that woman, is she hard to pursue?”

Egbert flipped his hand and suddenly pulled out a gun from under his pillow.
He loaded the gun, raised his hand, and aimed the muzzle at the man on the couch.
NightKing raised both hands, looking friendly, “Don’t be hasty, I’m just offering some advice. In this
world, there’s no woman that can’t be pursued, only woman who doesn’t love you. If you can’t win her
over, you might want to consider, maybe she just doesn’t like you.”
The sound of a bullet suddenly rang out beside his ear, cutting through the air.
NightKing squinted, glancing back at the sofa behind him.
There, a pillow was ripped open, stuffing floating in the air.
NightKing’s face turned serious.
Silent Wing actually pulled the trigger…
The gun in Egbert’s hand still had a silencer fitted, the barrel still smoking. He slightly lifted it, this time,
the barrel aimed straight at NightKing’s forehead.
10. Egbert whispered, “I know her better than you do.”
NightKing frowned, but didn’t say anything in the end, leaving the room.
After NightKing left, Egbert put the gun down.
His deep gaze turned to the thermos next to him.
After a while, he grabbed the thermos and opened it again.
Did Eileen not like him?
No, she had a crush on him, he could feel it.
However, she might… still unsure if this crush was actual fondness.
That’s okay, he would make her verify it.
Outside the hospital:-
NightKing hopped into a black sports c
car.
With a push of the pedal, the car shot out like an arrow from a bow.
In the driver’s seat, NightKing had one hand on the steering wheel, the other one on his phone, dialing
a number.
On the other end of the phone, someone picked up quickly.
While keeping an eye on the road, NightKing told the person on the phone, “Egbert’s girlfriend, I don’t
know her name, but I want all her information in an hour, including her life story, family background,
social connections.*
