Chapter 39: The Mastermind Behind the Deadly Feud

"Master Liu Liu! Why have you come?"

The scarred man's face turned obsequious, his previous domineering demeanor completely gone.

"Why have I come?"

"I come here, do I still need to inform you?"

The short-haired man smirked coldly and sat down directly on the sofa.

"I dare not!"

Black Snake's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

He was just a dog for Young Master Liu Liu, Ye Liangyang. How could he dare show any disrespect?

"Hmph!"

Ye Liang snorted coldly and said, "I've come this time to ask you something."

"Please, Master, go ahead!"

Black Snake nodded respectfully.

"Earlier, your Broken Axe Hunting Group's outpost was destroyed!"

"And just now, our Ye family also lost an F-level outpost!"

"By comparing the wounds, our people found that it was likely the same person who attacked both places. So, I've come to ask you—"

"Have you offended someone formidable?"

Ye Liang's words turned Black Snake pale, leaving him speechless.

"The Ye family's outpost was also destroyed!?"

Black Snake's mouth hung open in shock.

The Ye family was one of the four major forces in Hongfeng City. Who dared to provoke the Ye family recklessly?

"Yes, someone actually dares to oppose my Ye family!"

"Once I find him, I will ensure he lives a long and miserable life!"

Ye Liang's face turned cold. "Now, tell me if you have any suspicions."

"I... I've offended many people..."

Black Snake said cautiously, "But none of them were tough guys. I always dealt with them thoroughly."

"Hmph, forget it. You're probably useless."

Ye Liang snorted lightly. "Go fetch the gold coins we earned last month. I want to buy some elixirs to prepare for breaking through to intermediate warrior."

"Master wants to break through!?"

"No wonder you're the Master. We rough guys are nothing compared to you!"

Black Snake was first surprised, then immediately wore an exceedingly fawning expression.

"Enough chatter, go!"

Ye Liang waved his hand, and Black Snake hurriedly went to fetch the gold coins.

Before long, Black Snake returned with a large box and placed it in front of Ye Liang. "Master, a total of 1265 gold coins!"

"Good."

Ye Liang nodded and was about to order Black Snake to continue investigating the murderer.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream came from outside.

"What's going on!?"

Ye Liang, the old man, Black Snake, and the quasi-warrior who dared not move all looked shocked and turned to the door in unison.

At this moment, footsteps approached rapidly, giving a sense of urgency.

"Hahaha, Young Master Ye Liang of the Ye family, and 1265 gold coins!"

On the rooftop of the adjacent high-rise, Su Lang smirked with a sly and excited smile.

He never expected that visiting the headquarters of the Broken Axe Hunting Group would lead him to encounter Ye Liang, the mastermind behind the order to kill him!

What an unexpected delight!

Inside the Jinguo Building, the footsteps drew closer.

Accompanied by a faint trace of blood.

"Who is it?"

"Who dares to brazenly kill in the Jinguo Building?"

Black Snake was stunned. He never dreamed someone would dare to intrude into his hunting group's headquarters!

"Don't panic!"

Ye Liang shouted coldly, "With Master Lu here, whoever comes will die."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man beside him stepped forward, exuding an unfathomable aura.

At that moment, the intruder appeared at the door.

Clad in black robes and a white mask, he held a severed head in one hand, blood trailing along the way.

His face was hidden behind a black hood and mask, with a few drops of crimson blood staining the white mask.

"Ah Qiu!"

Seeing the decapitated head in the intruder's hand, Black Snake was both shocked and furious.

Ah Qiu was his most trusted subordinate, now brutally beheaded!

Compared to Black Snake, Ye Liang and Master Lu were even more shocked, their faces dumbfounded!

They had already received word that the assassin who destroyed the F-level Dark Serpent outpost was a skilled swordsman clad in black robes and a white mask.

And now, the elusive murderer they had been desperately searching for was right in front of them!
