“Nowadays, even with the four core powers of Nie, Ji, Ling, and the Crime Domain, plus a makeshift Death Rose…
But trying to be enemies with the entire Independent State is still not enough.
“Captain!!”
Suddenly, voices came from behind.
Ye Wanwan looked closely and found it was Shen Xu Dao Ren, Yi Zhi Hua, and others, along with dozens of Nei Wu Ming’s hired small teams.
“Captain, you faked your death! Why aren’t you dead!” Yi Zhi Hua exclaimed with excitement, tears and snot streaming down.
Ye Wanwan looked at Nei Wu Ming and asked in surprise, “They… didn’t know your plan?”
Nei Wu Ming shook his head at the sound, “Why involve them in this person’s affairs?”
“You’re a great captain…” Ye Wanwan said.
“We’ve heard about everything, Captain. We all support you. Today, anyone who dares to touch a hair on your head will pay a price they can’t afford!” A foreign friend shouted fiercely.
“Captain, you’ve hidden it well. These years, by your side, I never saw anything unusual.” Feng Xuan Yi walked up to Nei Wu Ming, lit a cigarette, and exhaled smoke.
Initially, the Ling family thought Nei Wu Ming had been traumatized, behaving aimlessly every day, and his personality had changed drastically, so Feng Xuan Yi was assigned to Nei Wu Ming’s side.
Therefore, Feng Xuan Yi didn’t think too much at first.
“Captain, why would you want to destroy the Independent State?” Shen Xu Dao Ren stared at Nei Wu Ming with a strange and puzzled expression.
Before Nei Wu Ming could reply, Feng Xuan Yi beside him shook his head and said, “You’re mistaken, Shen Xu. Nei Wu Ming doesn’t want to destroy the Independent State. He just wants those small and large powers that participated in the siege back then to pay the price. And most importantly, Nei Wu Ming wants to reform the Independent State and break away from its age-old traditions.”
“Traditions?” Shen Xu Dao Ren raised an eyebrow. “I see… So, every leader of the Death Rose existed to overturn the Independent State’s rules and system. Since Ling Miao was the previous leader of the Death Rose, I suppose Nei Wu Ming must be very eager to fulfill Ling Miao’s wish. Of course, it’s not just about Ling Miao because he’s not a native of the Independent State, just has some ancestral ties with the Ling family. Even if Ling Miao hadn’t died, with the Independent State’s rules in place, Nei Wu Ming and Ling Miao wouldn’t have been able to be together.”
Upon hearing Feng Xuan Yi’s explanation, Shen Xu Dao Ren nodded. “I see… I understand now. One last question… Who is Ling Miao?”
Shen Xu Dao Ren and Yi Zhi Hua, among others, were not aware of Nei Wu Ming’s romantic history, so they had no knowledge of Ling Miao’s existence.
Feng Xuan Yi glanced at Shen Xu Dao Ren and continued the conversation.
“Nei Wu Ming, I didn’t expect your scheming to be so deep. What surprises me even more is that you want to reform the Independent State’s system,” Feng Xuan Yi said, his gaze fixed on Nei Wu Ming.
At this moment, Yi Zhi Hua’s eyes were on Feng Xuan Yi. Among them, Feng Xuan Yi had the strongest sense of justice and duty. Moreover, the captain’s actions were currently in opposition to the entire Independent State. Judging by Feng Xuan Yi’s attitude, it seemed he didn’t approve of the captain’s actions.
“Feng Xuan Yi, why are you blabbering so much? What are you afraid of? If you’re scared, just leave,” Shen Xu Dao Ren looked at Feng Xuan Yi impatiently and said, “The captain has always been wholehearted with us, and at a critical moment, you want to betray us? You traitor!”
