Traitors' Gathering / Red Sensei, So Cool!

As Hong Xiawu Hong said this, she was the first to rush out of the classroom to go eat... disappearing from the classroom like the wind.

At this moment, Yaochuan Guang withdrew his gaze, but...

For some reason, she felt a little uneasy.

Perhaps it's just my imagination?

"..."

"Oh no, this is bad."

As Cong Yu spoke, she scrolled through her phone, nudged Yaochuan Guang's shoulder, and then showed her the message she had just received.

[Gareth Yuan'an: Cong Yu (Cong Yu covered the area with his finger here), did my sister go to school today?]

[Cong Yu: No.]

[Gareth Yuan'an: This is bad... I couldn't find her this morning.]

Chapter 259 A Gathering of Traitors

Dongshang, Xijia, Yuan'an, Jinhai.

These four families were the first four conglomerates to enter the market after Wind City was renamed... However, their relationship is not exactly good.

The Dongshang family declined, leaving only the Dongshang lineage.

The only one qualified to succeed as head of the family is a woman named Dongshang Yahui Xiang... and it is said that this woman is lazy and gluttonous, and weighs at least 300 jin (150 kg).

The Jinhai family, on the other hand, is so focused on their magical girl business that they're almost ready to abandon their physical business altogether.

The Yuan'an family is currently facing internal turmoil as the old patriarch has just fallen ill and a new patriarch has not yet officially taken over.

The situation is complex and multifaceted.

"..." Unfortunately, the Xixia family, which did nothing and nothing unexpected happened, continued to decline, even becoming the most miserable one.

The Ming family has many branches, and its descendants have spread far and wide.

But perhaps that's precisely why things are so chaotic... because the Xixia family, on the surface, seems to be in a state of calm.

In reality, it's always turbulent.

Just like now--

"Congratulations everyone, you have now passed our group's test and become official members of the 21st Group."

A strange man with a huge scar on his neck said this as he slowly turned around and announced it to the various family members.

This looks like a hotel.

However, the lighting in this lobby was dim... it didn't look like a good place at all, not at all respectable.

There's a saying that if villainous forces define themselves as villains, then their lifelong achievements and potential are limited to that.

Every person here is surrounded by an invisible thread... just like a spider web.

Generally.

The other end of these threads extends into the deep darkness.

Among those bound by these threads were people who looked like family members, as well as ordinary-looking high school students.

Everyone struggled, but they could not escape their restraints.

Panic screams continued to rang out...

Many others, however, adhering to the rationality and mindset of family members, looked at the strange man standing on high.

It looks like a Spider Monster.

Many people understood what the other party meant by "the 21st Group," and those who knew each other exchanged information.

"Remnants of the 21st Group?"

"It was already destroyed..."

"Only now are they starting to talk about cooperation with us? They're really underestimating us. It seems the 22nd Group is still the better choice..."

Before these people could finish speaking, the Spider Monster immediately revealed an angry expression. "Shut up! You've already chosen your own death!"

With that sound, the silken threads binding the person tightened immediately, pulling him high into the sky, flying towards the direction of the Spider Monster.

The man who had been referring to the "22nd Group" immediately panicked. "Wait! What do you want? We're from the Xibu family..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Spider Monster's face, which had a row of eyes like a spider's, suddenly flipped open, revealing countless fangs and sharp teeth.

It swallowed the guy's head whole.

"Ah--"

The piercing scream abruptly ceased... and with the death of the person, the sounds of the Spider Monster chewing and the cracking of bones echoed throughout the arena.

The group tried many methods to escape, even using a kitchen knife on the table to cut the spider silk covering their bodies, but to no avail.

After about three or four minutes, everyone whispered among themselves and quickly realized why they were there...

They had contact with the oddballs of the 21st Group.

Perhaps they joined some group chat, or perhaps they had some collaboration, whether short or long... that's why they're on the list.

In other words, he became an oddball among the remnants of the 21st Group, a tool that could be used to rebuild the group or for some other purpose.

Yuan'an Alisa is one of them.

"..." In Yuan'an Alisa's memory, she was walking home after the school festival... and then she lost consciousness.

Normally, a maid would pick me up and drop me off, but that day my brother came to the school festival, and I had to leave early because of work.

I rarely walk home by myself, and then this happens...

Thinking this, Yuan'an Alisa looked outside the hotel, trying to confirm her location by observing the surrounding environment.

Then, the person next to her spoke first in a low voice...

"Wind City Grand Hotel... This is a property of your the Yuan'an family. My electronic devices are missing; they were probably taken away."

As this person spoke, another person whispered, "Judging from the height, it's the 15th floor... Even if we had a phone, it wouldn't be of any use; we don't have the luxury of reaching into our pockets to take it out."

Then, another person nearby whispered, "The other side has an accomplice... a woman, who easily took down my bodyguards."

"..." Unexpectedly, aside from the initial panic, everyone calmed down while the Spider Monster was eating people.

Perhaps this is the true value of being a member of a family and receiving an elite education.

Although some of them are not being groomed as heirs, they have merely received some exposure to elite education.

But that's enough.

"I'm insignificant in the family, no one will come looking for me..."

"Me too."

"I'm considered quite important. I've looked around... the most distinguished one here should be Miss Yuan'an."

"The key question is... what does the 21st Group want?"

"..." Amidst the whispers of the crowd, the Spider Monster slowly swallowed the last bite of meat, then spoke his thoughts.

In other words... what does the 21st Group want to achieve?

"You crave power, don't you? You yearn for a higher position within your families, don't you? The 21st Group can help you..."

The Spider Monster slowly licked its crimson lips and said, "You will become high-ranking members of the New 21 Group."

This is the promise the Spider Monster made.

All the family members present nodded in agreement. "Great! We'll join! Of course we'll join!"

"I've wanted to join the Monster Group for a long time."

"That's right!"

"That is--"

"..." Upon seeing their cooperation, the Spider Monster immediately smiled and nodded in satisfaction, "Then, you can all return to your families and wait for our news... just like before!"

As he said this, the Spider Monster dragged a box out from the corner. "Here are your phones, come and take them!"

"..."

"Hey, I said... never mind, whatever."

A woman's voice came from the side.

That was a woman whose lower body was completely...

A strange woman with a tail that resembles... a catfish or some kind of snake.

At this moment, this strange man looked at the Spider Monster with the same disdainful gaze he had for an idiot, just as the family members with similar expressions did.

However, she had no interest in rebuilding the 21st Group anyway.

This strange man stared intently at Yuan'an Alisa sniffed him lightly, then narrowed her eyes, seemingly confirming something. "Why? You smell like my sister. Do you know where she went?"

Yuan'an Alisa: "???"

Who is it?!

Chapter 260 Red Sensi, so cool!

It's really hard to imagine that kidnapping still exists in modern times.

Cong Yu felt that... only someone with a bad temper would try to get something by kidnapping.

But perhaps that's why...

Add to that the factor of being overly concerned and making a mistake.

So Gareth Yuan'an didn't realize that... by using the family's power, they could find out what was going on by accessing the surveillance footage.

No, it's not that they weren't aware of it.

It's just that they haven't had time to think about that yet... After all, it's really hard to imagine that something like "being kidnapped by a weirdo on the way home from school" would happen in modern times.

If the other person is after sex...

Now, Yuan'an Alisa has probably been stuffed into a cream puff.

"Even if Yuan'an Alisa is useless, couldn't you at least arrange some people to protect her? Besides, didn't you notice she didn't go home last night?"

Cong Yu asked this simple question, propping her chin up as she sat in the back seat of the car, saying, "The 22nd Group's bodyguard services are very cheap... how about trying to buy one?"

Although it's not a small number for the average person.

Meanwhile, the maid driving the car was carrying Cong Yu and Gareth Yuan'an towards the Wind City Grand Hotel.

"I was at the company last night... The housekeeper sent me a message to report, but I was asleep at the time, and the housekeeper didn't seem to care much."

To Gareth Yuan'an face was full of guilt, Cong Yu simply offered words of "comfort": "Don't let the butler take the blame; you bear the most responsibility for this."

"..." Cong Yu's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Gareth Yuan'an... He himself knew this.

However, before this incident, he really couldn't think of anything that would make his sister worth kidnapping.

Logically speaking, that shouldn't be possible!

But clearly, reality doesn't reason with him.

"..." Moreover, it seems there's a traffic jam on the road.

"..." Gareth Yuan'an was getting anxious. His gaze fell on the sidewalk... The wide sidewalk looked very appealing.

I feel like he's about to shout out some classic line.

"Fine, fine, I'll go... But next time something similar happens, I won't help you."

As he said this, Cong Yu patted Gareth Yuan'an the shoulder and said, "After all, I'm also quite curious about what those strange guys are up to."

Is the plan to use Yuan'an Alisa to Gareth Yuan'an, thereby indirectly controlling the Yuan'an family and then taking over Wind City?

Or think about it from a smaller perspective...

Is it to incite riots in Wind City?

Or perhaps there's something special about Yuan'an Alisa?

Or is it... simply that they've captured a student from Fuuto High School to inquire about the Fuuto spiritual veins, hoping to seize power?
