Xiong Kang’s unwavering commitment to strike with all his might gave Lu Zixun a sense of being trusted.
However, what Lu Zixun found strange was the appearance of an abnormal creature on the sto rooftop that could potentially break through to King-level.
The A-grade Genetic Optimization Soldiers stationed at sto hadn’t come up yet, which was indeed interesting.
Lying on the ground, waiting for the Repair Liquid to take effect, Lu Zixun, with a deep gaze, looked up at the somewhat defenseless Childbearing Bats in the sky.
No matter what kind of conspiracy the Ye Family had planned, when they committed such a foolish act, Lu Zixun had thought of several ways to shatter the Ye Family’s intricate webs of schemes.
It was still in the same place, but this evening, beside Ye Changming, there was a different confidant.
Watching the Childbearing Bats on the rooftop, Ye Changming turned his head to look at Gai Yue, who was eating meat.
His expression was indifferent, "Is this the wisdom of your clan’s strategists?"
Hearing these words from Ye Changming, Gai Yue knew that he probably wasn’t satisfied with this tactic.
Licking the blood off her finger, Gai Yue tilted her head and looked at Ye Changming, "Wasn’t this carried out with your approval? If there’s a problem, you can’t blame us."
With a cold laugh, Ye Changming stood up and donned his coat, "Tell your clan members to withdraw from the Bai Family’s territory and wait for my command before taking action."
Seeing that Ye Changming was about to leave, a cold light flashed across Gai Yue’s eyes, and she quickly blocked his path, "Clan Leader of the Ye Family, what do you mean by this?"
Staring at Gai Yue, whose gaze flickered twice, Ye Changming opened his mouth, his eyes growing even colder: "If you had sent a Queen-level creature, this matter wouldn’t be an issue at all. But you actually sent a Growth King-level creature, essentially ruining your own chances."
At his words, Gai Yue’s brow furrowed, and just as she was about to retort, Ye Changming kicked her in the abdomen, a faint Killing Intent emanating from him.
"Listen well, Gai Yue, you’re sitting here discussing matters with me only because I respect your brother’s face."
After a pause, Ye Changming’s voice became even icier, "But you’ve messed up my plans. Not killing you is already showing your brother respect. Next time, let him come here in person!"
Ye Changming, wrapped in a coat, didn’t leave through the door.
Instead, he kicked open the floor-to-ceiling window, stood up, jumped, and with the wind encircling him, flew toward the sto rooftop.
Getting to his feet and moving his body, Lu Zixun, whose back wound hurt less, was about to take action when
a streak of cyan blade light sliced through the pitch-black night sky, slashing heavily onto the Childbearing Bat.
The Childbearing Bat screamed miserably as it fell from the sky, convulsed twice on the rooftop, and then lay still.
Looking at the figure hovering in the air, Xiong Kang slowly uttered the three words.
Quickly looking up following Xiong Kang’s gaze, Lu Zixun also saw Ye Changming and...those eyes devoid of human emotion.
"Ding—Malice Value from Ye Changming detected +12000."
This feeling value made Lu Zixun inhale sharply.
The last time he heard such a high feeling value was when he sought help in the Crimson Land.
Descending from the sky onto the rooftop, the two A-grade Genetic Optimization Soldiers that Lu Zixun was thinking about also ran up from below.
"Failing to detect the invasion of a Growth King-level creature in time, you two, dereliction of your duties."
Following Ye Changming’s words, a faint scent of blood permeated the entire rooftop,
followed by the scream of the two A-grade Genetic Optimization Soldiers.
"Not punishing you wouldn’t conform to my sto’s rules. Sever one arm as a warning."
After a pause, Ye Changming’s gaze fell on Lu Zixun, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Having seen your confrontation with the Childbearing Bat today, on behalf of the Ye Family, I apologize for the previous actions."
After a ninety-degree bow, Ye Changming raised his head, taking a deep look at both Xiong Kang and Lu Zixun, "I will have the Ye Family withdraw their monitoring of you."
After saying these words, Ye Changming jumped off the rooftop, using his abilities to descend quickly to the first floor, got into a car, and left.
"Ding—Malice Value from Ye Changming detected +12000."
"Ding—Killing Intent Value from Ye Changming detected +12000."
This encounter with Ye Changming added thirty-six thousand points to Lu Zixun’s feeling value, but Lu Zixun couldn’t feel happy about it; his mood became even heavier.
Looking up at Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun noticed his expression wasn’t good either.
He sighed softly, reaching down to adjust his pant leg.
Regaining his wits, Xiong Kang looked down, gave a bitter smile at Lu Zixun, bent over, and picked him up.
Without a glance at the two members clutching their severed arms, he headed downstairs.
Returning to Bai Yiyi’s office,
Xiong Kang heaved a deep sigh, "The vital opportunity we just gripped was so easily thwarted by Ye Changming. Indeed, he’s worthy of his reputation, a peer of Ninth Brother."
While sipping milk tea to calm his nerves, Lu Zixun listened, puzzled, and looked at Xiong Kang, "A peer of Ninth Brother? But he doesn’t seem human at all, he’s more like an abnormal creature than an abnormal creature itself."
Xiong Kang continued, "His cold-hearted way of doing things was evident on his coming of age day when he executed the current Ye Family Patriarch under the pretext of colluding with abnormal creatures. Half a month later, he purged Dream City, driving all the abnormal creatures to extinction."
After a pause, Xiong Kang added, "Such a person, how can he collude with abnormal creatures? But now that I think about it, it might not be as simple as we imagined."
Reflecting on the timing of Ye Changming’s appearance, Lu Zixun felt a chill run down his spine.
He had just thought of an excellent opportunity; although it wouldn’t be enough to bring down the Ye Family, it could at least damage their reputation in sto, complicating any future actions.
However, Ye Changming’s prompt and decisive action was beyond Lu Zixun’s expectations.
After understanding Ye Changming’s way of acting, Lu Zixun had some clarity.
But there was still one question Lu Zixun didn’t understand, and looking up at Xiong Kang, he hesitated a long while before asking,
"If Ye Changming is colluding with abnormal creatures, what’s his purpose?"
Xiong Kang also found it perplexing. "At his level, there’s really no reason to do such things; it’s really baffling."
the human and cat duo sitting on the couch simultaneously heaved a sigh, the scene briefly being quite comical.
While the two were analyzing the purpose of Ye Changming’s actions using the information they had, Bai Yiyi also walked in with a troubled look, pushing the door open.
The three with glum expressions exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Stop laughing, I have something to say."
Clasping her fist to her mouth, Bai Yiyi straightened her face, somber and serious.
