Old Man Sure Knows How to Have Fun

The very next second after he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The figure was completely wrapped in a black robe, with no features visible at all.

He scanned his gaze around, finally landing on the Bearded Man.

He said in a low voice:

"Why do you only light a candle every time I come to see you?"

"Are you that poor? Can't afford electricity?"

However, upon hearing this, the Bearded Man let out a soft laugh, and after a long pause, he finally spoke:

"Don't you think... it creates more atmosphere this way?"

The Black Robe's fist clenched involuntarily. After a moment, he relaxed it and asked the Bearded Man directly:

"Can you explain why our people are involved with people from the Crimson Tide?"

"The Law Enforcement Bureau above has already noticed this matter, and they suspect we're cooperating with the Crimson Tide!"

"They might conduct a sweep of Muyang City next!"

"And that could affect us. If that plan encounters problems in our Muyang City..."

"Have you thought about how you'll bear Lord Jin's wrath?"

As soon as he said this, the Bearded Man's pupils contracted violently. As if struck by a realization, his body trembled slightly.

He hurriedly said:

"What's going on? I don't know anything!"

The Black Robe glanced at him indifferently, then continued:

"A Wasteland Walker named Li Yuan died in Mufeng District. Her husband is someone from the Crimson Tide!"

"So can you tell me? Why were they involved with each other?"

"Li Yuan?"

"Never heard of this person!"

The Bearded Man's brows furrowed.

"If you haven't heard of her, why don't you ask?"

"How many of the Wasteland Walkers in our organization do you actually know?"

The Black Robe said coldly.

"Allow me to go ask now!"

The Bearded Man immediately replied. After a series of actions, a light blue screen appeared before him.

He then operated on the screen again. Not long after, he spoke:

"Found him!"

The next second, a light blue holographic projection appeared before the two of them.

The figure also looked like a middle-aged man.

If Qin Chen were here, he would notice that this middle-aged man looked at least eighty percent similar to He Wu.

"Subordinate He Wen greets Lord Scarlet Tiger, greets..."

He Wen knelt on one knee, hands raised above his head, and saluted the Bearded Man. He then looked at the Black Robe, but was momentarily speechless.

He didn't recognize him!

"Alright, stop with all the formalities!"

"Do you recognize Li Yuan?"

The Bearded Man, Scarlet Tiger, waved his hand and spoke directly.

Upon hearing this, He Wen couldn't help but mutter to himself. Everyone knew that the last time someone didn't salute him, he was killed by him.

And he said to stop with the formalities, what a hypocritical man!

While complaining, He Wen suddenly realized.

Li Yuan?

He hurriedly cupped his hands towards Scarlet Tiger again, his tone filled with anxiety.

"She is my wife! May I ask, sir, what happened to her?"

"Your wife?"

Before Scarlet Tiger could speak, the Black Robe spoke first, but his tone was strange.

"As far as I know, her husband is a guy named He Wu, right?"

"How did she become your wife again!"

"He Wu is my younger brother!"

He Wen only answered with that one sentence, but the Black Robe and Scarlet Tiger immediately understood his meaning and glanced at him simultaneously.

That old man is quite the player!

However, the two of them weren't interested in the matters between them. What they cared about was...

"Do you know your brother is part of the Crimson Tide?"

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, He Wen's eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief.

Due to the requests of many readers, we are now launching the VIP Member Ad-free function.

During this process, the Black Robe's gaze remained on He Wen, while also constantly sensing the changes in He Wen's aura.

Finally, he reached a conclusion:

He Wen genuinely had no idea about this matter!

"My brother is part of the Crimson Tide?"

"I'll go back and kill him right now!"

He Wen's tone was filled with intense killing intent.

"Then you won't have the chance. He Wu is already dead!"

"Oh, and your wife, Li Yuan, and her son are all dead too!"

"What did you say?!!"

He Wen immediately stood up in agitation, his voice filled with shock and towering rage.

"Yuan'er, Yi'er! How... how could something happen to you?"

He Wen staggered back a few steps in disbelief, shaking his head repeatedly, as if unable to accept this reality.

Then, looking at the Black Robe with extreme agitation, he directly knelt before him.

"My lord! Please tell me, who killed them, mother and son!"

"I want to avenge them!!"

He Wen's eyes were filled with the most extreme killing intent.

"I don't know who killed them!"

"But what I do know is..."

"If you dare to come back to Muyang City and cause trouble for me, I'll kill you first!"

The Black Robe said coldly. The extreme chill made He Wen tremble, even though it was just a holographic projection.

"Wh-why?"

He Wen swallowed and asked in shock.

"You don't need to know that much!"

After speaking, the Black Robe glanced at Scarlet Tiger, who immediately understood his meaning and cut off the holographic projection connection with He Wen.

"Muyang City absolutely cannot have any disturbances before the plan is implemented!"

"If the Law Enforcement Bureau discovers any problems and the plan fails, neither you nor I will escape punishment, even death!"

The Black Robe's voice was still filled with chill.

"I know!"

Scarlet Tiger nodded.

"I will control those people below!"

"Besides, our Sacred Hall has been very quiet recently!"

"If it weren't for this Li Yuan being killed, the Law Enforcement Bureau wouldn't have noticed us at all!"

The Black Robe fell silent, not speaking.

After a long pause, he finally said:

"I will secretly investigate who killed them!"

"If it was just an accidental revenge killing, then so be it. But if it wasn't..."

The Black Robe's tone deepened slightly.

"Anyone who obstructs the execution of the plan will die!"

With that, the Black Robe's figure instantly disappeared from his spot.

Only the flickering candlelight remained, as if telling a story.

Scarlet Tiger shook his head helplessly.

"What is this? We've been so low-key, and yet we still get dragged into this!"

"Forget it!"

"I'll just think about whether to make pork filling or beef filling dumplings tomorrow!"

With that, Scarlet Tiger slowly walked into the darkness, and the flickering candlelight suddenly extinguished.

The surroundings returned to their original state of boundless darkness...

On the other side, hundreds of miles away from Muyang City, in a certain city.

A middle-aged man with a gloomy expression stood in the hall of a house, his face filled with visible, boundless rage.

It was He Wen!

"Yuan'er, Yi'er!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"

"At that time, I will definitely skin and dismember that person to comfort your spirits in heaven!"

Killing intent flickered in He Wen's eyes.

Even with the Black Robe's warning, he was determined to return to Muyang City, even if it meant dying for it!!
