It had to be said that Night's strength was indeed formidable. If it wasn't for myself, Chester Group would have surely suffered a bloodbath today!
As for betrayal? Chris wasn't worried at all. If Night dared to betray him, he could kill him anytime.
Chris also believed that Night was a smart man. After witnessing his great power, even if Night wanted to betray him, he would think twice about it carefully.
Although Night was cruel and murderous by nature, he would be a sharp dagger in Chris's hands if used properly. After subduing Night, he would definitely be a great help to Chris!
"Husband, how did it go?"
Back in the office, Esther asked anxiously, "What happened? Is everything alright?"
Chris smiled and said, "It's fine, the trouble has been taken care of."
Seeing Chris safe and sound, Esther heaved a sigh of relief. Ever since Chris went downstairs, Esther had been worried sick, afraid something might happen to Chris. Fortunately he came back unharmed.
Esther couldn't help asking curiously, "By the way, what about Night? Didn't he come to kill you? How come..."
She didn't finish her sentence. According to what Leif Tate said, Night was a ruthless killer. How could he let Chris off easily?
"Heh heh!"
Chris chuckled and said, "Night, come out!"
Whoosh! A shadow abruptly appeared in front of Esther. Night knelt on one knee, his expression respectful as he said, "Mistress!"
Seeing Night suddenly materializing, Esther was badly startled. She stared at Night and asked incredulously, "Dear, this is..."
Chris explained with a smile, "Wife, Night has now surrendered to me. From now on, he is my bodyguard!"
He glanced at Night and said coldly, "Starting today, you will stay by Esther's side to protect her. No mistakes allowed, understand?"
"Yes!" Night replied before disappearing from sight again, as if he was never there.
Esther was completely dumbfounded. If not for Chris standing in front of her, she would have thought she was seeing a ghost.
She looked at Chris and asked curiously, "Where did he go?"
Chris smiled and said, "Don't worry, he's by your side. From now on, Night will protect your safety at all times!"
Hearing this, Esther quickly glanced around but didn't see anyone. She took a deep breath. Although she couldn't see him, she had absolute faith in Chris's words - Night was right beside her.
Terrifying! It was truly terrifying! How could there be such a frightening person? If not for Chris, she wouldn't even know how she died if Night came to kill her. No wonder Leif Tate trembled in fear upon hearing that the overseas Jefferson family had sent Night to assassinate her. It's no wonder Night could be called the Night Killer. Such a horrifying person was truly chilling.
Actually, Chris subdued Night in order to protect Esther. After all, Chris couldn't stay by Esther's side at all times.
And Ron and the others were military leaders, they couldn't protect Esther either. As for the dragon guards, although they could, their abilities were limited. If faced with a stronger opponent, they would be powerless.
The previous incident where Tim Jefferson nearly assaulted Esther had given Chris a huge lesson. If there wasn't a strong guard protecting Esther, Chris would never feel at ease.
It just so happened Night was the perfect candidate. With Night protecting Esther, unless it was someone above the Transcendence level, no one could harm her. This finally put Chris's mind at rest completely.
Of course Esther understood Chris's painstaking intentions. She looked at him gratefully and said, "Dear, thank you! You've worn yourself out for me!"
Chris held Esther in his arms and said gently, "Silly girl, you're my wife. Protecting you is only natural. Don't worry, from today onwards, no one can hurt you anymore."
"Mm!" Esther nodded without a word. Nestled in Chris's embrace, she felt it was the safest, warmest place in the world.
