Chapter 605: Chapter 540: Sir, Please Wait Chapter 605: Chapter 540: Sir, Please Wait âVictim?
Itâs not for you to decide!
Why were only you attacked?
It takes two to clap!â
Tes was now visibly flustered and agitated.
What was meant to be a favorable affair had led to this disaster!
The Yue Family lost two World Breakers, which in turn would cause them dissatisfaction, thinking he didnât intervene in time.
He had tried to make his alibi more convincing by spending time with his lover before the incident to avoid suspicion.
âŚ
But now the pathetic members of the Yue Family had come storming in, leaving behind two dead bodies and fleeing.
Even though they had taken down a World Breaker from the Decaron Family, it still felt like a huge loss.
And it was at this moment that a streak of light appeared on the horizon, quickly approaching.
An overwhelming presence, far surpassing Tes, enveloped the area in an instant.
The light columns that Tes had previously set up around the area shattered in a blink.
After surveying the scene, the newcomer roared with a very grim expression,
âWhat the hell happened here?â
And the newcomer was none other than Haute Decaron, the Clan Leader of the Decaron Family.
Although Aute wasnât a core member of the Decaron Family, he was a World Breaker nonetheless.
Sending him alone to negotiate was risky, considering ambushes were a possibility.
Especially now, as the families seemed ready to tear each other apart, no one knew what kind of crazy retaliation the Yue Family would take after Yue Yunâs death.
So he did have backup plans in case of emergencies.
However, the support team was also tied down.
They only managed to send out a distress signal.
This forced the sole Catastrophe Level of the Decaron Family in the Current World, the Family Head himself, to come rushing over.
Tao Yuâs eyes lit up slightly upon seeing this Catastrophe Level individual mentioned in the intelligence reports.
He then quickly pleaded,
âClan Leader Haute, sir, you have to stand up for us.
I had already discussed the contract and related matters with brother Aute, only to be pursued by the supporters of the Assassinâs League.
It was terribleââŹâbrother Aute was even preparing to invite me for a mealâŚâ
Since Treya had already explained the situation, Tao Yu now repeated it from the perspective of hearing Treya speak, adding his personal embellishments.
Their prior agreement stated that the Decaron Family would help Tao Yu fend off reprisals from the Yue Family and handle some surface-level issues.
And now, the agreement was blatantly violated.
Even if such promises were somewhat exaggerated, now that itâs been brought up openly, Clan Leader Haute couldnât ignore it.
He was also aware of the content.
A World Breaker with Dueling Ability, strong and certainly skilled at delivering a sneak attack.
Seeing that Tao Yu was somewhat disheveled but still alive, this elevated his perceived value once more.
Haute nodded and then looked grimly at Tes standing beside him.
âTes!
You fool!
Such a commotion happening in your jurisdiction, and you knew nothing?!â
The more arrogant he had been before, the lower his head now.
Tes didnât dare retort at all.
âEarlier, he even said we were at fault, that it takes two to clap.
Poor brother Aute; he was negotiating so well with me, and then this happened, and weâre somehow the ones at faultâŚâ
Tao Yu subtly instigated trouble, and indeed, it seemed that Clan Leader Decaron was prepared to discipline Tes.
But following closely behind, a fiery red sunset also arrived from the sky.
âHaute, what are you doing?
Why are you making things difficult for my dear nephew, Tes?â
The composed and serene Ancestor Patriach Yue, backed by the sunset glow, had also stepped forward to show support.
Certainly, Catastrophe Levels wouldnât clash lightly or engage readily.
But when it came to a showdown of background strength, there were no concerns.
Especially since the Decaron Family Ancestor was still in the Abyss, and Haute was indeed far less powerful than Ancestor Patriach Yue, who possessed a substantial advantage in aura.
However, upon hearing Ancestor Patriarch Yueâs words and seeing his glowing face, Hauteâs already grim expression unexpectedly let out a cold laugh.
âHeh, itâs nothing much, just that three attackers appeared here, two of them are confirmed dead, thatâs all.â
Youâre still laughing?
Letâs see if you can keep laughing after knowing two World Breakers have died!
Sure enough, Ancestor Patriarch Yue, just learning of the situation, was caught off guard and then looked at Tes.
Donât tell me what he said is true!
This is your territory, isnât it?
âThere were people from the Assassinâs League involved, possibly Teng Lianghong.
He killed both an attacker and Aute.â
Tes had no choice but to brazen it out and tried to magnify Teng Lianghongâs role as much as possible.
âThe âEight-Armed Vajraâ engaged one in the Duel Space and held him off.
The final attacker seemed to sense the danger and fled.
Currently, Teng Lianghong hasnât been seen; I donât know if heâs gone after himâŚâ
Tes did his best to deflect blame, implying it was their own careless use of the Assassinâs Leagueâs name that led to the clash, and by no means his fault for being less powerful than Teng Lianghong!
But his attempt to deflect responsibility made Ancestor Patriarch Yue feel as if the world had gone dark before his eyes.
How could his luck be so terrible!
Wasnât Teng Lianghongâs strength well known to him?
A sure Catastrophe Level!
If he were to target someone weaker, there would be no escape!
Why was he here?!
After that thought flashed through the Ancestor Patriarch Yueâs mind, he cast a venomous gaze toward Tao Yu.
It was the Eight-Armed Vajra!
Teng Lianghong had been somewhat concerned about this guy, but that didnât necessarily mean he wanted to kill him!
Ő¸đđđđ.co
The fact that the other party survived an attack and didnât die, coupled with his duel space ability, meant he had potential for assassination.
It was possible that Teng Lianghong might even want to recruit him into the Assassinâs League.
And to top it off with this frame-upâŚ
As the Ancestor Patriarch Yue continued to construct his narrative, he had already arrived at the most plausible course of events in his mind.
Who could be blamed for this?!
Damn Temor, really screwed the pooch!
âAh ha, it seems Mr.
Yue is not in the best of moods right now, isnât it because of Yue Yunâs death?â
At this point, Clan Leader Decaron couldnât care less about being framed for anything.
Even if he explained himself, the death of Yue Yun might still be pinned on his family.
But this was not unacceptable!
His family had lost two World Breakers until now, but they were both rather average, not the absolute core of the family.
But the loss for the Yue Family was significant!
âGood, very good!
Hmph!â
The Ancestor Patriarch Yue held back his fury; he did not strike, but instead glared intensely at Holter Decaron before turning to sweep a glance over those from the Sunâs dwelling, pausing particularly on Tao Yuâs face.
After a cold snort, he directly shattered the air and left.
He couldnât possibly unleash a Catastrophe Level battle right here, not to mention the backlash from the World Will, itâd be his own demise in White Star City.
The Yue Familyâs standing in White Star City could not withstand such a blow.
âSun Clan kid, be careful during this time, or just move over to our residence for a while.â
Holter turned to look at Tao Yu and gave him this reminder.
The pressure exerted by the Yue Family ironically made this temporary alliance even tighter!
Although the Sun Clan had no strength to spare in White Star City, their inherent power was above that of their individual families.
âThank you, Family Head, for your advice.
Iâve decided to return to the Abyss once the time comes, and until then, Iâm willing to fully honor our agreement.â
âVery good, the best defense is offense.â
A trace of satisfaction appeared on the face of Family Head Decaron, quite pleased with Tao Yuâs understanding of the situation.
In such times, trying to remain neutral was impossible; being indecisive would only get you targeted first, while decisively picking a side was the right answer!
In doing so, one could gain their protection.
If he didnât pick a side, the Yue Family could easily dispose of him; he could even be killed by âfriendly fireâ to lay the blame.
It would almost certainly be a death sentence, but by choosing a side, it becomes much safer by contrast.
He then cast a glance at Tes, who wore a sour expression, with an ominous tone,
âHeh heh, Teng Lianghong is still nearby; who knows, he might just attack you.
Hey, Inspector, look out for yourself!â
After delivering this menacing threat, Holter also left directly.
Both sides now had World Breakers who had perished, which essentially meant a declaration of war!
If not for the significant restrictions of the Current World, a fiery battle would have likely erupted.
And the intensity of this conflict, even in the faction-riddled White Star City, could be considered a significant event of recent times.
Upon hearing Holterâs threat and the Ancestor Patriarch Yueâs abrupt departure without a word, Tesâs face became exceedingly ugly.
This was indeed the worst-case scenario; it couldnât get any worse!
He had intended to do a favor but instead got blamed for it; what kind of karma was this?!
After that, Tes turned back resentfully and glanced at Tao Yu and Treya.
Now he could only bully these folks who had no foundation in White Star City.
âHehe, did you hear what Family Head Decaron just said?
Thereâs a top-notch assassin from the Assassinâs League nearby, so be careful.
If he strikes at you, I canât be responsible for that!â
Tesâs tone was tinged with a chill, and his eyes flickered.
After a cold snort, he quickly shattered the air and left.
Tao Yu below seemed to realize something as a look of sudden understanding crossed his face.
He knocked his fist against his palm.
Well, isnât that convenient, even the excuse has been provided for me!
A shadow instantly separated from Tao Yuâs own and swiftly followed in the direction Tes had goneâŚ
âŚ
Tes shattered the air and returned to the tallest structure in the area, a soaring iron tower hundreds of meters high.
Surrounded by the gray mist in the sky, punctuated with roaring thunder, and with Thunder Serpents weaving through the mist as a backdrop, it imparted a sense of grandeur.
This was also his office, from which he could survey his jurisdiction from a high vantage point.
At that moment, a beautiful woman in a hollowed-out nightgown stood on the balcony at the top of the tower, her face still flushed, smiled upon seeing Tes return.
But before she could greet him, a gentle voice rang out nearby,
âInspector Tes, please stay your stepsâŚâ
Then, as Thunder Prison sealed off the vicinity, Teng Lianghongâs figure also appeared behind Tes.
This prompted Tesâs head to stiffly turn.
It was just talk, but youâre serious?!
