Elder Hong Tao's face paled in shock.
"Tongtian, you..."
Shi Xue froze as well. She had never expected Tongtian to strike so directly.
Killing Tong Kui was a small matter, but if the entire Jinfeng Commerce retaliated, it would inflict incalculable losses on both the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion and the Human Emperor Manor!
Tongtian remained calm and let out a long breath.
"If we left him alive, there would be no salvaging the situation."
"Judging by the hatred for Tong Zhan in his words and the puppet body's reaction, it's questionable whether Tong Zhan was even his son."
"Killing him settled everything once and for all."
Hearing Tongtian's explanation, Elder Hong Tao and Shi Xue gradually fell silent.
In truth, both of them had already felt the urge to kill him.
But they bore too many responsibilities and entanglements to act as decisively as Tongtian!
Now that Tong Kui was dead,
people throughout Canglan City would soon notice.
And with a major commerce organization like the Jinfeng Commerce involved, its people would surely be the first to arrive before long.
Hong Tao knitted his brows.
"What do we do now? Everyone saw what happened. They all know we killed Tong Kui."
"And now the puppet body has vanished. This will be difficult to handle."
Shi Xue, however, looked at Tongtian.
Her intuition told her that since Tongtian dared to say such things, he must have something up his sleeve.
Sure enough, Tongtian gave them a calm smile.
"Relax. Who said the puppet body left?"
As soon as he spoke, Mantong suddenly appeared nearby, carrying Tong Zhan.
Tong Zhan's face was plainly filled with disbelief, yet strangely, there was not the slightest trace of grief in his eyes!
Elder Hong Tao and Shi Xue were naturally even more surprised by Mantong
