Qian Xunji Huffed

Earl Jack's pupils trembled violently. He seemed unable to process the rapid turn of events.

Though he could not compare to the true big shots of the empire, who could keep Soul Saints and Soul Douluos as subordinates,

Earl Jack's four men consisted of two Soul Ancestors, a Soul King, and a Soul Emperor. Yet they had all been brought down in the blink of an eye. How could Earl Jack possibly accept that?

Earl Jack blinked hard twice, trying to wake himself from this illusion.

But all he heard was Qian Mo's icy voice.

"Don't move, Earl Jack.

"I'm sure you don't want to know what it feels like to have the tendons in your hands and feet severed."

The cruel words made Earl Jack shudder in fright, and he nodded repeatedly while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

Since Qian Mo had not killed him on the spot, there was still room for negotiation.

But what Jack did not know was this:

Though Qian Mo looked incomparably cold on the surface, his heart was pounding wildly inside.

He had been confident that, with his firearm, no one below the Soul Saint level could make him afraid.

But a Soul Douluo had actually appeared in this estate. Who knew whether a Soul Saint might show up next? Fortunately, it seemed he had gambled correctly.

Just then, a golden streak of light flew over from afar. Le Jia had returned after dealing with the Fallen.

However, when she saw Earl Jack being held captive and the four Soul Masters lying on the ground, dead or alive unknown, Le Jia froze.

What the hell was going on?

I finished my fight pretty quickly, didn't I?

Why was Qian Mo's side such a huge spectacle?

After Qian Mo explained, Le Jia quickly understood what had happened. The way she looked at Qian Mo became even more approving.

Le Jia then tossed the unconscious Fallen beside Earl Jack and asked Qian Mo,

"So, Qian Mo, you said keeping this guy alive would make things easier for us. What exactly did you have in mind?"

Qian Mo smiled faintly, though the smile did not reach his eyes.

"There's nothing wrong with us upholding justice, but directly assassinating a great imperial noble is still against the law.

"But now, not only have we captured the culprit, we've also caught such a massive Soul Douluo-level Fallen in the culprit's estate.

"With this, we can completely confirm Earl Jack's crime of colluding with the Fallen.

"First, we'll have the various factions publicly verify the Fallen's identity and prove that we aren't making false accusations. Then, Aunt Le Jia, you can deal with this Fallen however you wish.

"Finally, you can pretend to be furious and kill Earl Jack as well. Even if this reaches the Heaven Dou Emperor, no one will condemn us.

"Because the Angel Clan has always hated evil with a passion."

After hearing Qian Mo's complete plan, Le Jia's eyes gleamed brightly.

Earl Jack, however, panicked. Forgetting Qian Mo's threat, he cried out,

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm not a Fallen! Killing me won't do you any good!

"I can give you money! A lot of money! Please, don't kill me!"

Qian Mo merely pressed the tip of his sword a little farther forward, ignoring Earl Jack as he continued,

"However, Aunt Le Jia, I don't think this is enough. Situations where we catch both the criminal and the evidence are hard to replicate. If the other clan members learn that hunting evil people can also raise their cultivation but cannot do the same themselves, they may become dissatisfied.

"So afterward, you can also send a letter to His Holiness the Pope explaining the situation.

"Have him pressure the Heaven Dou Emperor.

"Although we cannot obtain complete law enforcement authority, we can request special enforcement privileges for heinous crimes such as human trafficking, trading contraband, or colluding with Evil Spirit Masters.

"Then the other clan members will get their share too, and naturally, they won't have any complaints about you."

Listening to Qian Mo arrange his fate so thoroughly, while being utterly unable to resist, Earl Jack's round face turned completely ashen.

Le Jia, on the other hand, was practically glowing with excitement.

Qian Mo's plan was simply perfect. Not only could she benefit handsomely, she could also gain a wave of prestige from it.

She was going to make a killing!

Le Jia immediately slapped Qian Mo hard on the shoulder. His hand shook uncontrollably, and his sword carved a cut across Earl Jack, making him howl in pain.

Then Le Jia said eagerly,

"Good job, Qian Mo!

"Want a wife?"

Qian Mo gladly accepted Le Jia's praise and nodded instinctively.

But he quickly came to his senses and looked at Le Jia strangely.

What did she mean, want a wife?

Le Jia met Qian Mo's gaze without the slightest guilt. Even before coming here, she had considered pushing her own daughter toward him.

After all, on Romance Continent, her precious daughter was already in her twenties and still single. It truly worried Le Jia.

Though Qian Mo's Martial Soul had undergone a malignant mutation, leaving his cultivation somewhat lacking,

Le Jia had examined him when they first met and confirmed that he was very healthy. His physical strength was not bad either, so even if she matched the two of them together, it would not be to the point where they could not even get into bed.

However, Le Jia had not made up her mind at the time and was still weighing her options.

But after seeing Qian Mo's meticulous and logically sound plan, Le Jia was completely won over.

Strength?

The Angel Clan never lacked strength!

Besides, their family had two Soul Douluos and one Title Douluo. Could they possibly fail to protect their own child?

What was most valuable about Qian Mo was that clever little head of his. Le Jia had also heard that Qian Mo possessed profound attainments in Soul Master theory.

So why should she hesitate over such a dream son-in-law, someone who could perfectly support her daughter?

But to Le Jia's disappointment, Qian Mo rejected her with an awkward smile.

"Well, Aunt Le Jia, I'm only fifteen. I'm still young, and I haven't given that sort of thing any thought yet.

"Besides, this should mainly depend on what Sister Lulu herself wants. It wouldn't be right for you to arrange a match so arbitrarily.

"So I appreciate your goodwill."

Le Jia was somewhat disappointed by that answer, but she did not make things difficult for Qian Mo. She even admired him a little more, because she had discovered another of his virtues: he respected her daughter. That was extremely rare on Douluo Continent, where male chauvinism was rampant.

Le Jia's eyes rolled, and she decided to put some effort in from her daughter's side.

Hehe, I refuse to believe that Qian Mo can hold out if my daughter pursues him with that face of hers.

Afterward, Earl Jack was dealt with according to Qian Mo's plan.

As orthodox Soul Masters, they naturally despised the Fallen, that group of evil cultivators, the most. Once the matter was confirmed, Earl Jack became a target of universal condemnation and was ultimately killed alongside the Fallen by Le Jia.

Le Jia: Lv90up↑

Meanwhile, Qian Xunji, having received Le Jia's letter, began huffing.

Qian Xunji slammed his palm onto the table, his face filled with rage.

"Damn Le Jia, that stupid woman!

"What is she trying to do? She did something this major and only told me afterward. Does she have any respect left for me, the Pope!?

"Doesn't she know that after her stunt, the Angel Clan's image in the eyes of the major factions has only gotten worse!?"
