Ever since the conflict between the East and West, most of the Twelve Main Gods have gone into hiding, and Ye Chen had only seen a few of them. Renowned deities like Zeus and Athena were among those he hadn't met, let alone battled with.
There seemed to be a connection between the Vermilion Bird Jade Pendant and the Dragon Pattern Ring, and Ye Chen naturally intended to secure it at all costs, likely facing a bloody battle with Apollo.
The last time was merely a probing exchange, but this time, the opportunity to have a proper fight with Apollo excited Ye Chen as a surge of battle spirit rose within him.
As for the auction's preparations, Ye Chen left them to Vermilion Bird and the others, since it wasn't convenient for him to interfere.
Ye Chen glanced at the sky; it was getting late, so he hailed a taxi and headed back to the villa.
Upon entering, the house was eerily quiet. Sweeping the place with a glance, Ye Chen noticed that Su Xiyue had not yet returned.
