Chapter 563 - 413: Eradicating Future Troubles (Extra - for Alliance Leader Bai Shiyu!)

The situation is definitely not simple.

It won’t be as that talkative old Sun said, where just because of those gems, Du Ping can gather so many Lizardmen and beggars, and then attack his Shelter with them.

Lin Yue can sense that there is a larger, more complex power behind it.

A power that can control Lizardmen and beggars.

However, old Sun’s intention is to shift all the blame onto Du Ping, making him the mastermind and planner this time, while conveniently cleaning himself of any involvement.

You must admit, ginger gets spicier as it ages; old Sun and his group might not be much better in strategic and tactical skill compared to the average person, but when it comes to social matters and speaking skills, they excel.

Everywhere is full of tricks, with implications that are hinted at but not fully spoken.

Yet, seemingly because he wants to desperately push the story onto Du Ping, old Sun has revealed a lot of crucial information about Du Ping.

The gems are indeed related to the Lizardmen’s rituals, and also seem to have something to summon.

The Lizardmen value these things highly, which is why they want to collect them and cooperate with Du Ping...

Old Sun wants the Shelter and the resources, the Lizardmen and beggars want the gems, Du Ping wants him.

In fact, the Lizardmen bear the brunt, with almost ninety percent of the power coming from their side, while Du Ping and old Sun only have two to three thousand people.

Do you think the Lizardmen and beggars would agree to such a division?

It’s this point that Lin Yue finds odd; plus, old Sun’s speech clearly implies something deeper.

He glanced at Du Ping, who now stood with wide angry eyes, wanting to kill old Sun — it seems old Sun indeed said some truths that made Du Ping furious with embarrassment.

"Is that so." Lin Yue thought for a moment, suddenly recalling someone who also played a minor role in this disaster.

Xing Lingfeng.

Up to now, his old trading partner has yet to agree to his nitrocellulose deal, instead pretending to be dead.

While Lin Yue faces an army of nearly ninety thousand and countless Secret Realm monsters, with bullets running dangerously low.

Claiming to be uninvolved — nobody would believe that.

Lin Yue believes the same way.

"Do you know Xing Lingfeng?" Lin Yue immediately asked, while moving over to grab the Desert Eagle with his Mechanical Arm, pointing it at old Sun’s head.

Of course, he didn’t forget to pull the trigger.

"Desert Eagle!" Old Sun still didn’t forget his interests; he could identify the gun just from the trigger sound and the feeling of the muzzle against his head!

But upon hearing Xing Lingfeng’s name, old Sun was indeed startled.

Why did Lin Yue ask this name?

Meanwhile, Du Ping struggled to turn his head to see the direction of Lin Yue’s gun, realizing his head couldn’t move a bit.

"Xing Lingfeng... isn’t this person on the world ranking..."

"Do I need to remind you again? You’re quite familiar with this person, aren’t you?"

Lin Yue just pulled out the diary found in the Doomsday Bunker.

It mentioned someone called "Old Sun," whose real name is Sun Shuyi!

Lin Yue just thought "Old Sun" and "Sun Shuyi" sounded familiar, then remembered the diary, and it truly was Sun Shuyi!

"I—I don’t know what you’re talking about..." Old Sun’s forehead was all cold sweat; what was this bastard trying to say? Things from the past?

"Alright, since you can’t remember for now, take your time to think. Bring him upstairs." Lin Yue decided to deal with Du Ping first and talk about old Sun later!

Obviously, he can’t leave Du Ping hanging around.

Xiao Meng grabbed old Sun and led him straight upstairs, leaving only Lin Yue and Du Ping in the deepest part of the basement, along with Bai holding Du Ping and many Little Ice Lizards.

"Tear off that cloth strip." Lin Yue ordered.

Bai obediently let Du Ping finally speak.

At this moment, Du Ping’s face was flushed red with anger, his eyes bloodshot.

"Lin Yue, kill me if you want! I won’t answer any of your questions!"

"You make me sound like a villain." Lin Yue wasn’t fond of him either, pressing the Desert Eagle against his head, "Du Ping, was it you who died in the Secret Realm?"

But unexpectedly, Du Ping suddenly struggled fiercely, shouting loudly, even more agitated than before!

"Lin Yue! You killed my brother, I won’t let you off even as a ghost!"

Ah this.

The case is solved.

Listening to Du Ping’s loud cries, Lin Yue didn’t expect the mystery to be unraveled so easily.

Du Ping had a brother, who with several others encountered him in the Secret Realm, then Lin Yue fought back against those who crazily tried to kill him.

Originally, Lin Yue thought it was quite complex.

Things like resurrection, weird intrigues he couldn’t solve.

Never thought it would involve relatives, especially brothers.

Now upon reflection, the "Du Ping" he killed was indeed younger, while this one must be close to thirty.

"My brother died, several people from our Shelter were also killed by you, only Eliot returned! Haha, now Eliot is dead too, only I’m left, kill me! I won’t say a word no matter what you ask!"

"Oh." Lin Yue seemed indifferent.

So it’s okay for Du Ping’s brother and others to kill him, but not for him to fight back? What kind of bandit logic is this?

Stand still and let yourself be slaughtered?

Good grief, Du Ping and his group indeed have brain problems.

"I..."

"You thought you guessed that I could harvest a treasure box from killing a monster, hence all this mess, gathering Lizardmen and beggars, plus that old guy upstairs. You can remain silent, hope you won’t scream when your head blooms."

"You damn think I wouldn’t reveal your secret..."

"Only you can curse, huh? How does it feel to have a gun thrust down your throat? Speak, come on? If I kill you, the old guy upstairs will spill everything for self-preservation, you’re nothing in his eyes."

Lin Yue felt there was no need to waste more time on this person.

The Desert Eagle’s muzzle made it impossible for Du Ping to utter any clear words.

At this moment, Du Ping finally realized Lin Yue was truly capable of killing.

He himself mattered not to Lin Yue.

Dying would settle everything.

Facing imminent death, Du Ping’s former arrogance and anger vanished like water, now wide-eyed and breathing rapidly.

He frantically edited a message in the system, hoping to send it to the Executor, who communicated with him the most!

However, after sending, he couldn’t believe seeing he’d been blacklisted by the person!

"Du Ping, you’re worthless now."

Lin Yue sensed there was nothing more he wanted to learn from Du Ping.

Old Sun upstairs would tell him everything.

"What if I know the secret? For every person who knows, I will kill them!"

"Woo woo!!" Knowing Lin Yue was about to shoot, the despairing Du Ping directly opened the contact information for the person leading all Lizardmen and beggars!

He quickly input the message and sent it!

[The recipient has set you as a blacklist, the message cannot be sent.]

Why! You all...

"Bang!!"
