A Shocking Wager!

Smack!

Shangguan Yuxin sat in her chair, utterly dazed, and muttered, "The Mysterious Family wants to kill Chu Han."

There was no need to guess. Shangguan Yuxin immediately understood who was behind it and why her father had hesitated over this matter.

"So that's it!" Shen Yunlou's voice trembled with shock. "They stand above all the bases. No matter how large a base is, it can't send out such a powerful assassination squad, but the Mysterious Family can. They want to kill Chu Han? But why?!"

Why? Wasn't Chu Han also the leader of a base? Even if he had not received assistance from the Mysterious Family from the very beginning like the other major bases had, and had instead developed slowly on his own, what reason could there be to openly assassinate the leader of a base?

"So that Rank Six New Human belongs to the Mysterious Family? Then what will happen to Chu Han now? Will he die?" Shangguan Yuxin sprang to her feet in panic. She did not care about the reason; what she cared about was Chu Han's safety at this very moment.

Shangguan Rong shook his head with a bitter smile. "If they want Chu Han dead, they certainly won't act personally. That Rank Six is merely someone working for the Mysterious Family. As for why they want him dead, and why they want to handle it privately, how could we possibly know? The only thing we know is that whoever the Mysterious Family wants dead has no choice but to die."

Tears immediately poured down Shangguan Yuxin's face, and her voice choked with sobs. She looked at Shangguan Rong with pleading eyes. "I'm begging you, save him!"

The thought of Chu Han dying tore at Shangguan Yuxin's heart. She simply could not accept it!
