Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1496: Chapter 1493: Hidden Killing Intent (Part 4)

It wasn’t until around noon that a servant, sweating profusely, dashed into the study and quietly called out near the ear of the sleeping Liu Zhang.

”Family Head, wake up! There’s an important matter to report to you!”

Before the second call, Liu Zhang had already opened his eyes, filled with a piercing chill.

”What’s wrong?”

He understood that even he was alerted, indicating the matter was extraordinary.

Indeed, the steward bowed his head and solemnly said, ”We just received information that our Liu Family’s hotel in the Outer City was burned down!”

”Hmm? Who did it?” Liu Zhang asked in a deep voice while tidying his attire.

”Reliable information suggests it was Zhuang Linyan!”

”Zhuang Linyan? How could that woman have such boldness? Get Cao Gang here to see me now!” Liu Zhang said, somewhat suspiciously, with a stern voice.

The steward showed a bitter smile, ”Family Head, Cao Gang won’t be able to come!”

”Hmm?”

”Just last night, Zhuang Linyan’s people suddenly attacked the Blood Wolf Gang headquarters. Before that, Cao Gang and many other bosses in the Outer City died in the hotel! Now, the whole Outer City is essentially Zhuang Linyan’s realm!”

”What?” Liu Zhang was astonished, ”When was this information delivered?”

”We just received the intelligence, and the incident happened last night!” the steward replied.

Liu Zhang’s face changed dramatically, and he abruptly stood and paced back and forth in the study.

The steward dared not speak, standing quietly to the side.

After a long while, Liu Zhang let out a harsh, cold laugh.

”Zhuang Linyan...Haha, I really underestimated you! If I had known earlier, I would’ve killed you too!”

The steward pretended not to hear, staring at the ground, because knowing too many secrets in such a family often meant a short lifespan.

”Your brother disobeyed orders, stubbornly trying to unify the Outer City of Qingshi Cheng, not knowing that a stable and unified Outer City didn’t serve the Inner City’s interests, so he died! Died tragically!”

”Now you are repeating the same mistake, wiping out others! But do you really think you can unify the Outer City? You’re too naive!”

Liu Zhang paced, muttering to himself.

Suddenly, he slapped the table, angrily shouting, ”Truly courting death!”

The steward trembled and bent over, saying in a murderous tone, ”Family Head, should we dispatch people to thoroughly eliminate this Zhuang Linyan now?”

Liu Zhang waved his hand upon hearing, ”No need to rush! It’s not the right time now!”

”The auction day is approaching, and there’s likely to be a high-grade Alchemy Artifact appearing. Many alchemists have come to Qingshi Cheng because of it, and obtaining it would substantially boost one’s power; hence it must belong to me!”

”So, at this crucial juncture, it’s not wise to stir up more trouble!”

”What should we do then?” the steward asked, a bit perplexed.

Liu Zhang’s eyes revealed determination, ”Let Zhuang Linyan revel for a while, don’t bother her now, everything will be dealt with after the auction!”

”Yes!”

The steward departed.

Liu Zhang paced, his eyes gleaming, eventually showing a sinister smile.

”Zhuang Linyan, you secretly got an invitation from my daughter, what? Are you planning to attend this year’s auction too?”

”If so, this auction will be your burial ground! Because you would never guess, your best friend’s father was the one who killed your brother! I can’t wait to see your reaction when you hear this news! Hahahaha!”

Liu Zhang laughed heartily.

Under his command, the Liu Family unexpectedly remained silent in the face of the Outer City’s upheaval.

Led by him, the major families in the Inner City collectively maintained silence.

Everyone heard about the auction where a treasured item would appear, and to acquire it, nobody wanted additional complications.

Thus, while the Outer City was in turmoil, the Inner City was tranquil, with no family taking a stance.

This unusual calm alerted many keen observers to certain peculiarities.

Quickly, the Outer City’s noise settled, replaced by an eerie silence.

It’s like the calm before the storm, nurturing a terrifying tempest.

At this time, Zhuang Linyan also disappeared from the public’s sight.

As the entire Qingshi Cheng fell into a strange dead silence.

In a distant mining site.

Seifres alighted from the aircraft, full of vigor.

He no longer displayed his previously pitiful state when begging in Qingshi Cheng.

Instead, he was as sinister and unruly as ever.

Being the Crime Lord’s prized henchman, the fearsome Night Watchman.

No one dared look at him twice.

He smoothly navigated through layers of defenses, finally arriving at the residence of the mine boss.

There, a group of rogues and scoundrels assembled.

Each one was a villain collected from various places by the boss, all with bloodstained hands.

Now, they became the boss’s capable minions.

Upon seeing Seifres enter, they all greeted him warmly.

”Lord Night Watchman! You’re back!”

Seifres nodded, ”Is the boss inside?”

”Yes, sir, the boss is inside, but I advise you to wait a bit before entering! The boss just bought a young girl and has taken her in!”

This rogue grinned nastily, a sight Seifres would usually heed by waiting outside.

But today, for some reason, Seifres felt extremely irritable, gloomily said, ”Enough nonsense, I have urgent business with the boss!”

Saying this, he ignored any obstruction, storming straight into the building.

As mentioned, the mine boss was preparing to assault this recently bought girl.

Seifres barged in unexpectedly.

The chubby, white-faced boss was displeased, his expression turned sour.

”Seifres, what is your intention? Can’t you see I’m busy?”

The irritation inside Seifres grew, reaching its peak after hearing the boss’s reprimand.

”Haha, dear boss, sorry to inform you, your fun must stop!”

”What do you mean? Seifres, are you insane? Do you know what you’re saying?” The boss shouted furiously.

Suddenly, the briefcase in Seifres’s hand exploded open, releasing countless mechanical insects that charged with terrifying momentum towards the boss.
