Chapter 182: [159] Old Partner Silver Art: You Kill, I Set Fires (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and support)_1
In the hearts of the Wei family members, the death of this eldest young master cast a shadow akin to a layer of gloom.
Perhaps it was because no one understood why the people from Heaven God International would target their Wei family, was it a conspiracy, or did Wei Xia have a personal vendetta with the other party?
These days, the Wei family had discreetly dispatched many to find the simple truth they sought.
No one was clear if the opponent’s action was intended merely to deal with Wei Xia alone.
Or if it meant to target the entire Wei family.
Yet, to this day, the people from Heaven God International claimed they had no such intention, having clearly distanced themselves from the killer Gu Shaoshang.
Despite this, the Wei family’s cooperation with Heaven God International had completely broken down, even the previously agreed-upon investment dividends worth hundreds of millions couldn’t prevent the rift between them.
Without clarity on the truth, the Wei family’s attitude towards Heaven God International had taken a 180-degree turn.
The Wei family’s old master had even issued a death order.
He absolutely forbade anyone from mingling with Heaven God International until the matter had fully come to light!
The only consolation for the Wei family at the moment was that their younger master Wei Xianren had established contact with the Judgement Place.
As long as this younger brother of Wei Xia passed the assessment… the Wei family could hold their heads high in Da Peng City in the future, which also inadvertently alleviated some of the gloom brought about by Wei Xia’s death.
After all, the Judgement Place was a fairly renowned law enforcement agency!
In a small place like Da Peng City, it was like a mountain, where the mere name could intimidate people, not to mention having such a member in the family…
If a junior were to join their ranks, the family’s prestige would surely be lifted.
The people of the Wei family were even thinking… even the Jiang family, known as the powerful and fierce, hadn’t managed to send their descendants into the Judgement Place.
Just thinking about it, the people of the Wei family felt smug.
Especially Wei Xianren’s father, who was also the biological father of the recently deceased Wei Xia… at this moment, after receiving contact from that Mr. Xu, he had swept away the anger from his son’s murder and called for Wei Xianren.
“Ah Xian, are you ready?”
“Mmm,” Wei Xianren said calmly, “Father, is that person coming?”
“Ah Xian, do not be presumptuous!” Wei Father obviously noticed his son’s attitude and immediately warned in a stern low voice, “That Mr. Xu is your only opportunity to get in touch with the Judgement Place. If you can’t make him trust you, then you… or rather, our Wei family’s chance to rise will be completely lost. As a member of the Wei family, you should bear all that comes with it.”
Wei Xianren clenched his fists, then slowly released them.
“I understand, I’ll be careful in the future. So, when will I meet with that senior Mr. Xu?”
“Tomorrow evening!”
Jiang ancestral home.
Pei Jinye sat alone in a secluded room on the back hill with the curtains tightly drawn, flicking his lighter on and off, on and off…
His mind was consumed with thoughts of that person from the Bronze Association.
He had to kill him, he must die!
If that person didn’t die, Jinye would always be in danger in Da Peng City.
From his last conversation with the adversary, it was clear… the opponent had blatantly made him a target, simply waiting for the right moment!
Entrusting his own life to the adversary’s conscience… Pei Jinye did not like this one bit.
“He must die!”
As for making contact with the Faceless elder from the Old Gods Association…
He had considered it.
But once the other party took action, he was afraid he wouldn’t have the chance to Devour the member from the Bronze Association and it might even become possible that the elder would discover the secret of his ability to Devour the Transcendent.
If that were to happen, the elder might also fall into madness just like Teacher Chang had…
“Could the prophecy he spoke of really be related to me?”
Pei Jinye reined in his thoughts.
Inside the back hill.
The sounds of cultivation soon filled the air.
At the same time.
Teacher Chang, who was smoking his dry pipe in the Bronze Association, seemed to notice something and suddenly vanished from the spot.
“My lord, we have lost track of the target.”
“Has he left Da Peng?”
“Not a trace of it.”
“Investigate further and report back!”
“Yes, my lord.”
Back hill of the Bronze Association.
Teacher Chang, with his hands clasped behind his back, appeared calmly in front of a tree stump, scanning the abundant weeds and the place that hadn’t seen human activity for a long time…
The ex-Chief Instructor of the Night Patrol Division who had presided over Da Peng City for many years narrowed his eyes.
“What a pity.”
Just as Teacher Chang was about to leave, he received another message, and a murderous intent flashed across his face.
His laboratory was being targeted by people from Heaven God International!
At dusk.
“Jiang Qingcang” was enjoying dozens of exquisite dishes.
The middle-aged butler stood by respectfully, “Master, President Chen from the Shunyang Group wishes to see you. Regarding the debts from Shunyang Group last time, they want to delay the transfer of Shunyang Property, and he hopes to discuss this matter with you in person.”
“No.”
“Jiang Qingcang” didn’t lift his head.
Not surprised by the response, the butler knew the master had always been decisive and authoritative in his actions.
He continued, “Hengtai Film Industry’s young mistress will be married tomorrow, they have sent the wedding invitation.”
“Have the vice president attend on my behalf.”
The middle-aged butler nodded, noting it down, indicating he would immediately inform the vice president, who was Jiang Qingcang’s eldest son.
“Master, there’s more…”
About ten minutes later.
The middle-aged butler finally exited the room.
The abundance of Blood energy from the rich dishes could be said to be quite substantial.
