Waiting is always the most agonizing. Enzo felt as if his heart had been stabbed with a knife. For the first time, he prayed in his heart, believing that the God of Heaven could help him. But he had no idea that the God of Heaven had fallen into a deep sleep and that the revival ceremony had been interrupted by Shen Ye and Bayonetta.

But Jubilis wasn't the only god in this world, or perhaps he had caught some of Shen Ye's luck. Just as Enzo was praying in his heart, his phone rang.

Upon hearing the phone ring, the group sitting around the bar all stopped what they were doing. Jeanne even used magic to create a barrier, blocking out the outside noise.

At that moment, Enzo quickly pulled out his phone, glanced at the number, and answered immediately, anxiously asking, "Are my children alright?"

"Don't worry, they're fine now." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone. At the same time, the people inside the barrier also heard a child's laughter coming from the other end of the phone, which made Enzo breathe a long sigh of relief.

“It seems the kidnapper isn’t a vicious woman,” Bayonetta said casually. “Perhaps she likes your child too.”

"Maybe." Enzo didn't dare to be careless and continued into the phone, "Where would you like to meet? I'll be right there. Also, what exactly do you need? I'll be able to prepare accordingly."

“I don’t need you to prepare anything. I just need you to lead me to someone,” the woman said, but her voice was somewhat muffled, as if she were chewing something.

Enzo quickly asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Dante!"

Upon hearing the name, Enzo fell silent. After a long while, he said with difficulty, "I can tell you the city he's in, but... I can't take you there."

"Then you can forget about ever seeing your child again," the cold female voice said. "What if you give me a fake address? So please take me there yourself."

In fact, that was exactly what Enzo intended. Although he was a businessman, he was still very loyal to his friends. Dante was his friend and his client, and he would never betray his friend.

However, seeing that he couldn't fool that woman, Enzo could only glance at Shen Ye and the others.

Shen Ye and the other two nodded, and Enzo continued into the phone, "Okay, I agree, so where shall we meet?"

"I'm already at your house!"

"What?" Upon hearing the woman say she was at his house, Enzo jumped to his feet and yelled into the phone, "Don't hurt my wife..."

"Don't worry, I won't lay a hand on a human woman. Oh, by the way, remember to come early, or I'll eat all the cake your wife made by myself." The woman hung up the phone after saying that.

Watching Enzo put away his phone and run out, Joan of Arc dispelled the barrier and said, "Generally speaking, women who like sweets are usually not bad-natured!"

“I agree,” Bayonetta nodded in agreement. “I’m kind of looking forward to seeing that woman; maybe we’ll have something in common!”

You two definitely have something in common. If I remember correctly, that woman also enjoys shopping and dressing up, and, just like you, she's quite vain...

Shen Ye glanced at them, shook his head, and then followed them out of the bar.

……

Worried about his family's safety, Enzo put his driving skills to the test, taking less than ten minutes to reach his doorstep, a journey that usually takes more than half an hour.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Shen Ye stopped Enzo, who was about to jump out and rush home.

"Don't rush, let's get ready first."

Now he was facing one of the female protagonists from another storyline world. Although he knew her personality, Shen Ye still decided to be careful.

Shen Ye then pulled out his pistol and gave each of Bayonetta and Joan of Arc a wink.

The two witches put away their nonchalant expressions. They were skilled at hunting angels, but rescuing hostages was a first for them. Moreover, their target could use demonic powers, so they had to be careful not to hurt Enzo's wife and children.

"Ceresa, Jenny, you two flank from both sides, but don't make a move yet. Let Enzo and me go in first. If the negotiations break down, then you can attack... that is, launch an offensive."

The two witches nodded and walked to the left and right of the house. Halfway there, they used magic to turn into cats and nimbly jumped onto the roof of the second floor.

Enzo was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, and his attention was briefly diverted.

"Shen, don't you think the cat Bayonetta turned into looks a little familiar?"

"You guessed right, that cat was Bayonetta in disguise."

Enzo: “…”

After that, the two walked to the door one after the other.

Enzo took out his key, carefully opened the door, and went inside.

“Darling, you’re back.”

Upon seeing Enzo, his wife, wearing an apron and standing next to the kettle as if waiting for the water to boil, exclaimed in surprise.

Enzo nodded to her, then his gaze fell on a blonde woman in a black trench coat sitting at the dining table. On either side of the blonde woman sat her daughter and son, but judging from their expressions, they seemed very happy and did not look like they had been kidnapped at all.

Behind him, Shen Ye was also sizing up the blonde woman. However, he already knew that the blonde woman was very beautiful and had a great figure, so he focused more on the donut in her hand.

Seeing the blonde woman devouring the donut, Shen Ye swallowed hard. It wasn't because he was craving it; he had eaten donuts made by Enzo's wife before, and they were no different from eating plain sugar. So, seeing the blonde woman calmly eating this donut with its increased sugar content only made his teeth ache.

As Shen Ye looked at the blonde woman, she also noticed him. Seeing the pistol in his hand, the blonde woman didn't care at all, and simply asked Enzo, "Is he the helper you hired?"

"I suppose so!" Before Enzo could speak, Shen Ye answered proactively. After thinking for a moment, he simply stepped out from behind Enzo and sat down opposite the blonde woman. After placing the pistol on the table, he introduced himself, "My name is Shen Ye. May I ask your name, ma'am?"

The blonde woman glanced at the pistol on the table; it was just an ordinary Beretta 92F. Her gaze quickly returned to Shen Ye, and she said in a cool voice:

"Tracy!"

……

(My thoughts are a bit scattered)

Chapter 558! The Role of the Face?

(I rewatched The Edge Walker, and I'm numb.)

……

"Tracy, ah, it's a nice name, very suitable for a beautiful lady like you," Shen Ye said with a sigh. It was just a pity that there was no tea in front of him, otherwise, taking a sip of tea after saying this would have made him seem more gentlemanly.

However, just as he was thinking this, a steaming cup of black tea was placed in front of him, and Enzo's wife, who brought the tea for him, thoughtfully asked, "Would you like some sugar?"

"You should ask Ms. Trish; she probably likes sweet black tea." Shen Ye gestured towards Trish.

At the same time, Trish pushed her teacup forward a little and said to Enzo's wife, "Thank you for your help!"

Seeing this, Trish reluctantly picked up the teapot and walked over, wondering whether she should pour all the freshly boiled tea on her head, but remembering her husband's warning to her when he left home that morning, she could only hold back.

Anyway, Enzo has already called for help. Hopefully, that pistol will scare this woman named Trish!

With that thought in mind, Enzo's wife filled Tracy's teacup with black tea, then quickly ran to Enzo's side, looking at him with some concern.

Noticing his wife's gaze, Enzo reached out and put his arm around her. Although his short, stout body seemed out of place with his tall wife, it still made her feel at ease.

“Don’t worry, honey, he can handle it,” Enzo whispered.

The restaurant was only so big, so Trish could naturally hear his voice. She looked at him with some confusion.

After all, in her eyes, the man sitting opposite her was just an ordinary human male with an exceptionally strong physique, and even the weapons he used were just ordinary human weapons.

"Humans, ah, they really are a remarkably confident race. It's a pity they're still too weak compared to us," Trish thought with a touch of arrogance. Then she picked up the saucer of sugar cubes next to her teacup and poured all the sugar cubes into the teacup.

Seeing this, Shen Ye felt his teeth hurt again. He remembered the time when he was a child and his family took him to have his teeth pulled because he ate too much candy... Well, he's getting a bit off-topic. Now is not the time to think about these things. He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then looked at the blonde woman and asked, "Ms. Trish, do you like sweets? However, I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle eating like this."

"My sense of taste is a bit off; if it's too bland, I can't taste anything." Tracy stirred her tea with a spoon without expression, and only after the sugar had almost dissolved did she take a big gulp, a satisfied expression appearing on her indifferent face.

She hasn't been in the human world for very long, but she's already attracted by all the wonderful food and clothes there, so even when she's on a mission, she doesn't lower her quality of life.

But then she looked at Shen Ye with a puzzled expression, and belatedly asked, "Were you just concerned about me?"

“Uh…” Shen Ye was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized that his polite words had worked, and quickly followed her words, saying, “I guess so. After all, it would be a loss to the world if a beautiful lady like you were to ruin her health.”

The demon created by Trish, the Demon King Mondes, was instilled with a large amount of knowledge that did not belong to her from birth, and she would become cruel and ruthless in battle. However, her main personality was still like a blank sheet of paper. Hearing Shen Ye's veiled praise, she pondered for a moment, and then her cold expression instantly crumbled.

"I like the way you talk. Could you say a little more?"

“Uh…” Shen Ye paused again, feeling that Trish was putting him in a difficult position. He himself felt a little embarrassed saying those words, let alone…

Shen Ye glanced discreetly at the second floor, where a pair of silver-gray vertical pupils were staring intently at him. Clearly, someone was unhappy.

However, feeling the expectant looks in Enzo's and his wife's eyes, and glancing at the child sitting next to Trish, Shen Ye could only brace himself and continue.

However, when the words came to his lips, he was at a loss for words.

"Why did you stop talking?" Seeing Shen Ye open his mouth but not make a sound, Cui Xi tapped the table in dissatisfaction.

At that moment, a thought flashed through Shen Ye's mind, and he said, "Because I can no longer describe your beauty in words."

"Is that so?" Trish nodded thoughtfully, but she didn't notice that Shen Ye's forehead was already sweating.

Having spent so many days with Bayonetta and Joan of Arc, he had never used such direct and cheesy words to praise them.

He started thinking about how he should explain things to them once the matter was resolved.

While he was pondering, Trish across from him had finished her cup of black tea with lots of sugar. Then she looked at Enzo and his wife standing to the side, her expression turning cold again: "Please give me another cup of black tea, and some more sugar."

Although he spoke politely, his tone was icy cold, which made Enzo and his wife feel that they were being treated differently.

After making herself a new cup of tea that satisfied her, Trish glanced at Shen Ye, who was deep in thought. Her expression returned to its previous smile, but her usual cold demeanor made the smile look somewhat stiff. She asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Hearing her words, Shen Ye snapped out of his thoughts, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered a sentence I heard not long ago."

"Can you talk and listen?"

“Of course.” Shen Ye nodded and said, “I’ve heard that women who like sweets are usually not bad-natured.”

“You mean I’m a good woman?” Trish asked.

"That's roughly the idea," Shen Ye nodded again.

But Trish shook her head: "While what you said is comforting, I'm not a good woman, and I understand what you're trying to say... However, you can't convince me to let them go unless Enzo agrees to take me to Dante."
