Lin Lei's Keenness

"Wait until you reach the ninth rank in your human form!"

Lin Lei: "..."

Lei Lin: "Also, after I return, I will announce that due to your father's death, you have no heart left to manage the territory."

"You have decided to hand over the management of Wushan Town to the Zi'ao Family and have chosen to become a guest elder for the Zi'ao Family yourself."

Lin Lei nodded and said: "Mm, alright!"

Lei Lin looked at Lin Lei, paused, and continued: "Currently, the place where our family most needs personnel and combat power is the Chaotic Territory. I will arrange for you to go to the Chaotic Territory later."

Lin Lei shook his head and said: "No, Brother Lei Lin, I want to stay in the Fenlai Kingdom."

Lei Lin: "Why?"

Lin Lei lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying: "When I held the funeral for my father earlier, Delia came."

"She is a good girl, and I want to try spending some time with her."

"So, for the time being, I don't want to leave the Fenlai Kingdom. I don't want to leave her."

Lei Lin looked at Lin Lei for a long while before nodding: "Mm, Delia is a good girl. Don't let her down!"

Afterward, he left without hesitation. It wasn't until he was out of Delin's sensing range that he stopped his footsteps and looked back at Wushan Town.

"Something went wrong; he's not easy to fool!"

"But it's fine. I didn't intend to hide it for long anyway!"

"Besides, he still listens to advice!"

Inside the Baruch mansion.

Beibei stood on Lin Lei's shoulder and said: "Boss, since that Clyde fellow is your enemy, let's just cultivate hard. Once our strength is enough, we'll storm the imperial palace."

"If we happen to run into Brother Lei Lin's master, Sa'er, we just won't kill him, that's all."

Lin Lei stroked Beibei's little head, still quietly looking at the letter in his hand.

Seeing Lin Lei's expression, Delin recalled their conversation just now and said: "Lin Lei, is something wrong?"

An old man is like a fine wine; even though he had spent most of his life focused on cultivation, he could still sense something abnormal.

After all, the worldly wisdom he had experienced was truly not something that young fellows like Lin Lei or Lei Lin could compare to.

He realized that both of those young fellows were acting strange!

Lin Lei kept looking at the letter: "Grandpa Delin, the letter—it's not right!"

Delin asked in confusion: "The letter?"

Lin Lei nodded: "Mm, the letter is not right."

"I am too familiar with my father. Although this letter was written by him, it was written in two separate parts."

"I can feel it—that faint sense of disconnection."

He pointed at the letter paper: "Grandpa Delin, this is my father's Final Letter. Why would he write it in two parts?"

"And based on my understanding of my father, since both he and my mother were murdered, my father would definitely have clearly stated the identity of the enemy."

"No matter how much he cared for my safety, he wouldn't keep me in the dark about who the enemy is, would he?"

Delin: "..."

Lin Lei continued: "And why does Brother Lei Lin want me to join the Zi'ao Family?"

"Given my relationship with Brother Lei Lin, if there were something he needed my help with, would I refuse to act?"

"Why does Brother Lei Lin want me to go to the Chaotic Territory?"

"If he really wanted me to cultivate properly, wouldn't the stable environment of Fenlai City be more suitable for me?"

"After all, I only became a Dragonblood Warrior not long ago; this is exactly the time I need to cultivate in peace and accumulate battle qi."

Speaking of this, Lin Lei's fingers tightened on the letter, crumpling it: "And why was this letter with Brother Lei Lin?"

"Did Father arrange for Hillman to send the letter to the capital, only for him to run into Brother Lei Lin first, so he gave it to him? And then he just let Brother Lei Lin pass it to me?"

"Is that reasonable?"

"No matter what, shouldn't Uncle Hillman have handed it to me personally?"

"That would be reasonable, right?!"

Lin Lei looked toward Hillman's room: "From just now until now, I've noticed that Uncle Hillman has been deferring to Brother Lei Lin in everything!"

"Is that normal?"

"And also..."

Lin Lei paused: "Brother Lei Lin should have received the letter and learned the news of my father's death during those days of the Dream Awakening auction, right?"

"After all, before that, Brother Lei Lin and I were always in the Magic Beast Mountain Range."

"Given the relationship between Brother Lei Lin and me, if he knew my father had died back then, would he not have told me immediately?"

"During that time, I didn't feel any abnormal fluctuations or changes in his attitude!"

"Is this normal?"

Lin Lei furrowed his brows and said, "The abnormal parts~"

"Are too many!"

Delin: "That is why you used that little girl Delia as an excuse to continue staying in Fenlai City."

Lin Lei nodded: "Mm, whether it is Uncle Hillman or Brother Lei Lin, I believe they would never harm me."

"Everything they have done must be for my own good!"

"But there must be something they are hiding from me."

"The vengeance for my parents—I don't know why Brother Lei Lin would hide it from me?"

"But it doesn't matter. If they hide it from me, I will investigate it myself!"

After speaking, Lin Lei quietly looked at the contents of the letter again.

Even though it was a Final Letter, the more Lin Lei read it, the warmer he felt!

Days passed one by one, and because of his father's death, Lin Lei became much more silent.

He spent his time crazily training with the goal of killing Clyde, while secretly investigating the secrets behind his parents' deaths.

Being rejected as an apprentice by Falling Leaf, being targeted for assassination by the Dark Church, occasional exchanges with Delia, collecting materials for blood-dissolving poison...

Lei Lin saw every single event.

He did not intervene again; after all, Lin Lei possessed the combat power of a Rank 9 after transforming, so he had sufficient ability to protect himself.

He just watched silently.

Until...

[Head of the Family, King Clyde has been attacked. The assassin's codename is "Demon". The specific situation is currently being investigated.]

Lei Lin, who was in Hess City, looked at the message received on the Communication Crystal and sighed: "Has it begun?"

Ever since Lin Lei refused to go to the Chaotic Territory, Lei Lin was certain that he was likely going to walk the old path again.

Things went exactly as Lei Lin expected. Aside from training every day, Lin Lei commissioned the Saber organization to start investigating the truth behind his parents' deaths.

With the strength of the Saber organization, they soon determined that Lin Lei's mother, Lina, had likely been sacrificed by the Radiant Church.

After all, the existence of Angels was not a secret to the upper echelons of the continent.

On the contrary, because the Zi'ao Family helped clean up the aftermath regarding the Death of Hogg, it increased the difficulty for the Saber organization to investigate.

If it weren't for Lin Lei, the person involved, personally seeking them out and providing certain information, the Saber organization would never have linked the deaths of Hogg and Paterson together.

However, once the Saber organization linked the Death of Hogg with Paterson, they had a clear target and quickly demonstrated their formidable intelligence-gathering capabilities.

They soon cleared up the matter, living up to their reputation as a top-tier assassin organization!

After Hissay received the results, he said "interesting" three times, personally went to the Zi'ao Family, and had a good heart-to-heart talk with Lei Lin.

The next day, Lin Lei received the investigation results from the Saber organization—go ask Lei Lin!

This result made Lin Lei feel completely broken!
