Chen Henian was both shocked and furious.
He had not expected Shen Boxia to turn hostile and attack directly.
Almost instinctively,
he immediately tried to resist.
Yet the next second, he discovered in terror that his limbs would not obey him at all, as though something had nailed him firmly in place.
The Vicious Ghost within him was clearly still there.
Yet it seemed to have fallen asleep.
It would not obey his commands whatsoever.
This left him utterly horrified, and he stared at Shen Boxia in shock.
"Head Chen." Shen Boxia rose to his feet and walked before him, his tone calm. "You are not qualified to bargain with me."
"I'll give you two choices."
"First."
"Tell me about your relationship with the Hu Family. Are members of the Hu Family in the South Seas?"
"What are you colluding to do?"
"Tell me honestly."
"Second."
"You can keep your mouth shut, and I'll beat you to death right here."
He looked into Chen Henian's eyes. "You can gamble on whether I dare to kill you."
Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on Chen Henian's forehead. Especially when Shen Boxia plainly stated that the Hu Family was in the South Seas, his face turned even paler, revealing his fear.
The others were equally astonished.
They could not help looking at him.
Although the major families had always suspected that the Hu Family had not suffered family annihilation, but had merely faked their deaths and fled,
that had only been speculation based on scattered clues.
It had never been confirmed.
And now,
not only did Chen Henian have a way to enter and leave Locust Tree Alley, but he was also connected to the Hu Family from back then?
"I..."
"Since you already know,"
"I won't hide it from you."
