“Great Elder, the way you put it, what do you mean by ‘prominent figures’? Even in the Independent State, aren’t there prominent figures? We can only say that Xue Lao lacks emotional intelligence and has a poor tolerance level. Who can blame him? We haven’t violated any contract terms!” Beidou said.
“That’s true,” the Great Elder nodded.
Ye Wanwan shrugged, “Well, if he gets so angry and dies from it, it’s not my concern. But when that happens, do you think the legitimate lineage will come to retaliate against us?”
Upon hearing this, Beidou and the Great Elder exchanged a glance.
“Well…” Beidou looked at Ye Wanwan, “Maple sis… I don’t think the legitimate lineage will retaliate against me and the Great Elder. Even if they do, I guess they’ll only go after you…”
Ye Wanwan remained silent.
The news of the legitimate lineage’s Xue Lao falling seriously ill due to the Provocation Alliance Leader spread throughout the Independent State within half a day.
Many factions criticized Ye Wanwan as despicable. They looked at Xue Lao, a septuagenarian, and wondered how he could end up in such a state.
The big shots whom Ye Wanwan had rescued from the island shook their heads. They had personally experienced the shamelessness of the Provocation Alliance Leader. They were fortunate to be young and mentally resilient; otherwise, they might have been driven to death by the Provocation Alliance Leader on the island.
For some reason, these big shots suddenly felt a strange sympathy for Xue Lao from the legitimate lineage. This old man was truly unlucky. Although he had engaged in lifelong hidden struggles, they were of high quality. They had probably never encountered someone as shameless as the Provocation Alliance Leader in their entire lives. It was just bad luck for him…
…
As for Xue Lao’s situation, Ye Wanwan didn’t care. She immediately gathered Beidou and the others and returned to the Fearless Alliance to prepare to move the valuable table.
“Maple sis, for such a small matter, can’t we let the subordinates handle it? Do we really have to come here to move it ourselves?” Beidou asked.
Ye Wanwan glanced at Beidou, “Nonsense. This is such a precious item. What if it gets damaged? I can’t afford to compensate for you even if I sell you.”
Beidou: “…” Wasn’t a table supposed to be valuable?
However, just as they moved the table out of the treasure vault, the Third Elder’s pupils suddenly contracted as he looked ahead.
“Leader!” the Third Elder immediately shouted to Ye Wanwan.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Wanwan instinctively looked at the Third Elder.
“The mysterious person who met with Nie Linglong back then!” the Third Elder pointed ahead.
Ye Wanwan and Beidou looked in the direction indicated by the Third Elder.
A tall figure entirely wrapped in a black robe had appeared in the Fearless Alliance at some point. Beside the black-robed person was an elite member of the legitimate lineage.
“Third Elder, are you sure it’s him?!” Ye Wanwan asked.
“No doubt!” The Third Elder nodded repeatedly. “Leader, it’s definitely him. I’d recognize that attire even if he turned into ashes!”
“Weren’t you saying it was too late that day and you couldn’t see clearly?” Ye Wanwan was somewhat skeptical.
“I didn’t see the person clearly, but I recognized the clothes!” the Third Elder explained. “Moreover, this person is with a member of the legitimate lineage. There can’t be a mistake!”
Immediately, Ye Wanwan gazed at the black-robed person, her eyes filled with a cold gleam.
This was the person who had promised to help her eliminate her elder brother, Nie Wuming…
Without this person’s agreement, her elder brother would never have died!
Ye Wanwan wasted no words. She exerted her strength, and her entire body soared into the air. With a terrifying punch infused with tremendous power, she struck fiercely at the black-robed person.
