After searching through the entire Lou Family, Ji Jue could not think of anyone more suitable than Lou Yanyue to step forward at a time like this.
Ever since she had served a term in the Security Bureau in accordance with the unspoken conventions between the Federation and the local authorities, Lou Yanyue had cast off her shackles and become completely free.
As the face of the Lou Family's generation, she would naturally stand up to defend the family's interests when something like this happened and take part in this Blood Feud Trial. It was her duty.

Then there would be no "then."
There was no need to wait seven days. Ji Jue had already thought up the rest of the plot—who would have expected that, during this Blood Feud Trial witnessed by Seven Cities, Lou Yanyue would die facing an enemy sent by the Soekarno Family because of some tiny "accident" and "mistake"?
By then, everyone present would be a witness.
The entire Seven Cities would stamp Lou Yanyue's death certificate.
A Blood Feud Trial meant bearing responsibility for life and death yourself. If you died, you had it coming!
You signed the life-and-death waivers, and you stepped into the arena. What could you possibly say?

The Soekarno Family could use this opportunity to escalate the conflict and blow the whole mud pit apart. If they truly abandoned all shame, would the Usurper be afraid of them?
