"Ah...uuuh..."


    Wu Shihao''s nerves had already been stretched tight from the torture, and Wang Fugui''s sudden stab nearly pushed Wu Shihao to the brink of collapse!


    "Then let''s change the question. Who is backing Prince Jin?" Ye Fan stared intensely at Wu Shihao, switching to a different question.


    As a prince of the royal family, Prince Jin had gained the support of so many martial arts experts in a short period of time—there must have been someone behind him.


    A fairy?


    "I... I don''t know..." Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire


    THUD!


    As soon as Wu Shihao finished speaking, Guo Li, who was beside him, also stabbed Wu with a knife, "You don''t know this either, you''re useless!"


    Originally, Ye Fan had planned to continue questioning Wu Shihao, but he could now see that Wu Shihao was nothing more than a simple martial soldier, a blockhead, unaware of any key information.


    Ye Fan couldn''t be bothered with idle talk any longer and simply activated the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand to search for any useful information in Wu Shihao''s head, only to find almost nothing of value.


    The only useful piece of information was that during this military martial exercise, Prince Jin had conspired with martial arts experts from outside to secretly assassinate the elite of Great Xia, intending to create a gap in the younger generation of martial arts experts in Great Xia.


    And his senior wife, the Great Xia Valkyrie, was on the list!


    Among those involved in the plan, besides the martial arts experts from Europa, there were also members from Dongying''s Black Clothes Society and the Miaojiang Gu Cult...


    Another vague message was that there were traces of the Evil Cult in the great Miaojiang Mountains, and someone was trying to break the seal of the Evil Cult ahead of time and release it.


    Hmph!


    The world was becoming increasingly unsettled—suppressing the Evil Cult had been an unfinished plan of his mother and was one of Tianji Pavilion''s responsibilities.


    Once he had dealt with matters in Guangcheng, he would make a trip to the Gu Sect, and incidentally return those two top-grade twin saints!


    What Yamada Eiko had "corrupted" the two saints into, he did not know to what extent Eiko had taken her teachings!


    Daya and Xiao Ya were too innocent, as pure as blank sheets of paper—if he didn''t let them see the evils of society, they would be clueless about the treacheries they might face in the future.


    Whew!


    Having confirmed there was no more useful information, Ye Fan''s hand burst into the Flame of Inheritance, burning Wu Shihao to ashes in an instant!


    Ye Fan sighed deeply in his heart, another killer of his third brother had been eliminated!


    However, Pan Shi planned that once the keys were in hand, he would immediately wipe out both the Song and Qi families, so all the assets would still belong to King Jin.


    "Steward Pan, siding with King Jin also means taking a huge risk for us! Therefore, please understand that we need to see tangible things before we dare to hand over the keys!"


    Qi Yuan was more nai?ve and hardly spoke up; it was still Songyang who did the talking.


    No coffin, no tears!


    No sign of repentance until one reaches the bitter end!


    Exasperated and on the verge of going berserk, Pan Shi said, "Patriarch Song, is it that you don''t trust His Highness, or is it me you don''t trust? Whatever we have agreed upon, we will surely do!"


    "Not to hide anything from you, Steward Pan, we don''t trust either you or His Highness! So there''s no hurry with the keys!" Songyang retorted sharply, infuriating Pan Shi to the point where he almost exploded on the spot.


    However, without the keys from the Song and Qi families, Pan Shi dared not act rashly and could only clench his teeth and order his subordinates, "Transfer the money now!"


    Ding dong! Ding dong!


    After the two notification sounds from the cell phones went off, Songyang deliberately picked up his phone and handed it to another patriarch among the Four Great Families, Liang Antong, "Head Liang, could you please help me count the zeros on this? Is that a hundred billion?"


    While speaking, Songyang nudged Qi Yuan, who also picked up his phone and handed it to the head of the Chen Family, "Older Brother Chen, could you also take a look for me—is it one hundred billion that''s been transferred? His Highness really treats us well, huh!"


    Chuckle! Chuckle!


    Liang Antong and Head of the Chen Family glanced at the mobile messages on Qi Yuan and Songyang''s phones; the string of zeros was so eye-watering!


    Show-offs!


    These two were definitely flaunting on purpose!


    Crushing hearts with a display of power!


    Both belonging to forces loyal to King Jin, why should their two families receive so many benefits while the Liang and Chen families received nothing?


    Especially the head of the Chen Family, his face was as dark as it could get!


    Not only did he gain no benefits, but his son had also been doing battle with Ye Fan and had been shot dead by Wu Shihao, a sniper. His son was gone, and his lineage nearly extinct... as this thought crossed his mind, the head of the Chen Family, Chen Hong, couldn''t stand it anymore!


    "Bang!"


    Chen Hong suddenly slammed the table and stood up, "This is too unfair, way too unfair... Steward Pan, this game is unplayable..."


    The more Chen Hong thought, the angrier he got, feeling like overturning the table and quitting the game...
