Chapter 691: Chapter 691 Sudden Change
Kurofujidera felt that today was undoubtedly his day of suffering. At this point, if the Inoue Family were to call off the marriage, then the Kuroteng Family would certainly become the laughingstock of the entire upper echelons of Fusang!
Though the Inoue Family was now somewhat in decline, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. After all, they were one of the three great families that were as renown as the Kuroteng Family!
"Great Elder, this is a misunderstanding!" Kurofujidera forced an ugly smile, "Miss Matsushita was just making a little joke."
"A little joke?" The Great Elder said indifferently, "This joke is not at all funny!"
Kurofujidera, with a compliant look, said, "Yes, yes, I think Miss Matsushita certainly wonât make such jokes in the future."
After this episode, many people had a new perception of the Inoue Family; despite the familyâs decline, the Inoue Family still had considerable confidence.
The wedding procession soon arrived within the Kuroteng Family, and the Great Elder and others followed suit.
Ling Feng carefully inspected his surroundings as he entered, noticing many hidden sentries. Waves of very subtle but powerful energies were emanating from within the Kuroteng Family.
"This Kuroteng Family is truly a dragonâs den and a tigerâs lair!" Ling Feng frowned slightly with a headache. Long Guangyi really had set quite a challenge for him.
Kurofuji Youshun, looking dashing in a stylish suit, eagerly awaited his brideâs arrival. When Inoue Sakura appeared, his face lit up with extreme joy.
This woman who had stirred his heart was finally to submit under him!
The wedding was still a grand affair, not just attended by the high ranks of both families. Ling Feng actually saw representatives of the Sakura Group, people from the Matsushita Family, and individuals affiliated with the Underworld, led by the Alliance of Gods.
Clearly, these people had already joined forces, just waiting for his intrusion.
Unfortunately for them, they would never guess that his current identity was that of the Great Elder of the Inoue Family, Ling Feng thought to himself with silent amusement.
The entire wedding followed the traditions of the West, and when Inoue Sakura appeared in her bridal gown, she provoked gasps of astonishment and admiration from everyone present.
The early stages of the wedding went smoothly. Both parties exchanged rings, and the wedding banquet officially began.
Kurofuji Youshun went around happily toasting the guests, while the bride retired to the wedding chamber.
After toasting, Kurofuji Youshun finished his rounds, and Ling Feng found an excuse to leave. Meanwhile, Inoue Ki and Inoue You stayed to deepen their connection with the Kuroteng Family and did not leave with Ling Feng.
Back in his room, Ling Feng then left quietly and slipped into the inner courtyard of the Kuroteng Family.
On the way, Ling Feng suddenly encountered a drunken man staggering out of the restroom.
Ling Feng recognized this fellow; he was from the Alliance of Gods, a man of only B-level strength. However, among the group from the Alliance of Gods, he seemed to hold a rather high status.
Ling Feng approached him and covered his mouth, dragging him to a secluded area.
"Who are you, how dare you lay hands on me!" The attacked man sobered up instantly. He glared at Ling Feng and declared, "I am a disciple of the Twelve Main Gods of the Alliance of Gods. How dare you show such disrespect to me?"
Ling Feng was secretly pleased. This guyâs position was really extraordinary; no wonder he was able to sit among those people despite only having B-level strength.
Ling Feng offered no explanation, simply squeezing his neck, and the manâs eyes rolled back as he fainted.
Inoue Sakura sat dully in front of the mirror, gazing at her stunning reflection. Her heart was filled with darkness.
She sighed and looked at the scissors next to the table. She had already made up her mind, if there was no turning point by evening, she would seize the opportunity to kill Kurofuji Youshun!
As long as Kurofuji Youshun died, a massive conflict would definitely erupt between the Kuroteng Family and the Inoue Family, and it might even lead to a bloody feud between the two great families!
"You want to use me as a pawn? But arenât you all pawns of mine as well?" Inoue Sakura said indifferently, "This filthy family, this filthy country, should have sunk to the bottom of the sea long ago!"
With a thud, the door to the wedding room opened, and Inoue reflexively reached for the scissors. "Who is it?"
"Donât worry, itâs me!" Ling Fengâs voice came through.
"This wonât do, what if Kurofuji Youshun came in? Would you still be able to kill him?" Ling Feng couldnât help but tease her upon seeing Inoue Sakura like this.
Inoue Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Lin, how come youâre here... whatâs this..."
At that moment, Inoue Sakura noticed the unconscious man behind Ling Feng and asked curiously, "Who is this...?"
Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Of course, itâs time to put on a play! Youâre the main character in this drama, are you confident?"
...
At the banquet, the higher-ups of the Sakura Group were praising Kurofuji Youshun, and he was all smiles.
Right then, the doors of the banquet hall were suddenly flung open, and a butler with a grim look on his face walked up to Kurofuji Ryo, "Clan Leader, something terrible has happened!"
"Whatâs the matter!" Kurofuji Ryoâs expression didnât change as he spoke, "Canât you see Iâm busy right now?"
The butler said in a low voice, "Itâs very urgent!"
Just as Kurofuji Ryo was about to take the butler aside to talk, a scream suddenly came from outside, "Murder, murder, someoneâs dead!"
The scream was shrill and unusual, and everyone in the banquet hall heard it.
"Murder?" Everyone was shocked. Today was a day of great joy for the Kuroteng Family, who would dare to commit murder in the Kuroteng Familyâs territory?
Members of the Alliance of Gods frowned slightly, and one of the men said, "Wait, whereâs Ace?"
"He said he was going to the restroom!"
"How long has it been, nearly twenty minutes? Did he fall in or what?"
All of a sudden, the person in charge of the Alliance of Gods had an ominous premonition. Ace was one of the disciples of the Twelve Main Gods of the Alliance of Gods. His trip to Fusang was a mere coincidence, not specifically to deal with Ling Feng.
"Hurry up and find Ace!"
But they soon realized, there was no need to look for Ace, because his body was already lying in the brideâs wedding chamber!
When everyone pushed open the door to the wedding room, every face was extremely grim, and the originally cheerful expression on Kurofuji Ryoâs face was now almost covered by dark clouds!
Inoue Sakuraâs clothes were torn and tattered, her skin faintly visible underneath, her eyes red and tears streaming down uncontrollably, but in her hand, she still clutched the scissors stained with fresh blood.
Ace, however, was lying on the wedding bed, but his blood had already soaked through the bed, drop by drop, spilling onto the floor, appearing so strikingly vivid!
