Chapter 10: The Longest Night
Chapter 10: The Longest Night
There was just no chance. People's loyalty might change but Ryan was sure that Yasmin was loyal to him. The woman would never forget that he was her savior. At that time, Ryan took Yasmin and her sister who were abandoned by the side of the road under his wing and brought them to his journey.
It could be said that Ryan was the one who saved her life and gave Yasmin and her sister a future. Yasmin repaid Ryan's kindness by working as a researcher who concocted potion X. Yasmin's ability in the field of medicine was very great.
They both supported each other and were close friends. There was no way Yasmin would betray him and Ryan never doubted her even for once.
Thinking of this, Ryan immediately stopped his meditation and turned on his computer again. He wanted to see Yasmin's condition and share the information he knew. This time, Yasmin was in front of her computer. She looked like she'd cleaned herself and bandaged her wounds. Several people were seen moving goods from behind her.
Since the base had been destroyed, rebuilding it required a lot of resources. So for these researchers, items that were still intact and saved research data would be useful to reduce costs and time.
"Yasmin, were The Eclipse and The Tiger present when our base was destroyed?" Without further ado, a question immediately came out of Ryan's mouth.
"Yes, they were here. There's no mistaking that person is the Eclipse and I'm pretty sure of that!" Yasmin answered his question in a serious tone.
"Then Yasmin, how about I say that I just killed the Eclipse?"
"What?"
.
Ryan passed the night without sleeping. The disappointment of being betrayed and the pain in his body accompanied him this whole night. Every time he closed his eyes, the figures of the Eclipse and Tiger would appear in his mind. What bothered him was how could the two of them who claimed to have attacked his headquarters, were now in Crimea so fast? Could it be that the person who destroyed the base was someone else?
Even though Yasmin was sure that the enemy who destroyed her base was Eclipse, that person was still wearing a mask. It was unlikely that Yasmin had guessed the person's identity wrong, because Yasmin had been working with the Eclipse for a long time.
So the Eclipse he fought was someone else?

This logically made the most sense. But the face of his opponent was exactly the same and especially the speed of the Eclipse he killed. Such speed would not be easily imitated by anyone in this world. Ryan was sure that the person he was fighting was Eclipse.
Ryan felt this problem really did not make sense. There must be a clue that was missed. While playing with the knife in his hand, Ryan's face was getting serious thinking about the previous fight scene.
Suddenly, he realized that there was a trace of blood splashing on the knife. The blood certainly belonged to the Eclipse. The knife he played with was the one that had previously stuck in the Eclipse's body.
'Kill? I killed him with this knife?' Ryan began to understand the key to this problem.
He didn't want to boast, but in his best condition, he could've killed the Eclipse in just one second. Even in his current state, he could still do it without difficulty.
However, was the Eclipse really that careless?
Igor Suhov and the Italian mafia might not have a good grasp of his strength, but was Eclipse the same as them? After living together for 8 years, there was no way the Eclipse would not understand the might of the War God. Even so, the Eclipse still fought Ryan alone. Had he lost his will to live?
Ryan also really understood Eclipse's character. He was full of patience and planned schemes. The last thing he would do was risk his own life. The Eclipse that he killed didn't seem to have any understanding of his strength. So was the attack that Eclipse made against Ryan aimed at killing himself?
"The enemy is weak, no matter what happens today I will kill him with my own hands." Ryan muttered to himself, still thinking about ways to figure out the gist of the planned attack against him. After all, being suicidal was very unfitting for Eclipse's character.
'So the key to this matter was the death of the Eclipse!'
Ryan finally got to the heart of the problem but for some reason, he felt that the matter was still too obscure. By this time, the sun had already started to rise and there was a noise from Irina's room.
Ryan immediately woke up and scooped up his face. When he came out of his room, Irina was also in the doorway of her room.
Irina just woke up. Even though she washed her face, her sleepy face still didn't go away. Without any makeup, her face still looked naturally beautiful and the pajamas she wore added a cute impression to this beautiful woman.
When Irina opened the door, she was greeted by the face of a man who was staring at her closely. Irina looked panicked before finally realizing that this man was the one who tied the knot with her.
If Ryan had the strength to read minds, he would surely be sad. How come? His wife forgot him, she didn't even remember his face.
"Hi my beautiful wife, are you awake?" For some reason, every time the two of them met, Ryan always wanted to tease Irina.
Wife?
Hearing this, Irina immediately shivered. She then put on a serious face and looked at Ryan's face with a cold expression, "Watch your mouth! I don't want to hear words like that again!"
"Then what should I call you? Wifey, it seems you think it's a shame if our relationship is known. What if I call you my love?" Ryan continued to tease Irina, peppered with a smile.
"You! Don't you call me that!"
Irina felt her morning started awfully that she was going crazy. From the moment she met Ryan, Irina's feelings had always been bad. Moreover, this man was so shameless. She really hated it, couldn't this man see how annoyed she was?
"Then what should I call you? No wife, not my dear, how about my little bear?"
Every word that was said by Ryan never failed to get into Irina's nerves. Was this guy really stupid or what? Weren't they just having a contract marriage? Why was he trying to piss her so much?
Irina didn't reply to Ryan's words and only went downstairs just like that. She thought it'd be pointless to argue with that stupid man. The more she tried to argue, the more annoyed she became. So the best solution was to ignore him!
"Yuhuu My lovely little bear! Don't you run away from my burning love. Let's enjoy the day together "
Ryan just shouted from above and gave a kiss from afar while Irina came down with her hands covering her ears.
Downstairs, Susan had already prepared breakfast. Today's breakfast menu was bread, scrambled eggs and various fruits. Irina tried to eat it as fast as possible. She couldn't wait to leave the house as she couldn't stand Ryan any longer.
Even so, Irina could not eat quickly. Instead, she was eating elegantly like a royal princess. Maybe this was the table manner that had become ingrained in her mind as an upper class person.
On the other hand, Ryan ate with no manners. He sat eating like he was in a stall with one foot on a chair. Worse yet, he ate beside Irina. The woman then shifted her chair and didn't want to come near him. Her husband didn't say anything either. He only focused on the food that was in front of him and he couldn't wait to devour them all.
For a moment, Ryan felt that there was only him and a pile of food in front of him in this world. He ate everything quickly, stuffing his mouth full.
"Wow, what fruit is this? How come it's so soft?"
