Chapter 809: Assassination Storm (4)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
” Could it be that the Zhuge family has attacked Zhao Yu?!”
” It’s hard to imagine. Haven’t the Zhuge family always been cautious?”
Many people were surprised. In this assassination attempt, the biggest suspects were undoubtedly the Wu family and the He family. Both of them had lost their family treasures.
As for the Zhuge Family, not only did they not suffer any losses, they even made a huge profit from Zhao Yu’s bet.
Logically speaking, they shouldn’t have made an enemy with Zhao Yu.
“Could it be that they are too greedy and want to capture all of the treasure in one fell swoop?!”
“This doesn’t seem like the style of the Zhuge family…”
Just as people were speculating, the higher-ups of the Zhuge family also took the initiative to come out and welcome them.
Leader Zhuge led the way, with their family Sequence one Zhuge Dali following by the side.
“The two of you visiting really brings light to my family…”
“Cut the crap!”
“Three days ago, Zhao Yu was assassinated in front of the temple by few third tier assassins. According to my investigation, the assassins were from your Zhuge Family!” Xu Chang Qing interrupted.
“What?!”
The Zhuge Family Leader was stunned and in disbelief,” Could this be a misunderstanding? The Zhuge Family had a meeting three days ago…”
“That’s right. It just so happens that there’s going to be the Sequence Ranking Competition. I even specially recorded it…”
The Zhuge Family Elders also agreed, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with them. All the third tier experts were in the Zhuge Family meeting room that day.
“Haha!”
“Do you think I’m a fool?!” Xu Chang Qing sneered.
“Thirteen years ago, the Qilin son of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Tao, died in a gambling match. He lost the banana fan of the Zhuge family…”
“That night, the Wu family’s Qilin son was attacked and died on the spot. Other than that, three most eldest family elders also died in combat. The banana fan and other magic tools were lost…”
Zhuge Dali frowned and said,” I’ve heard about this as well. It’s obvious that someone framed the Zhuge family. All the elders of the Zhuge family were in the family that day. After that, we also reached an agreement with the Wu family…”
“Haha!”
“Six years ago, at the top of Nanshan Hill, a man in black used a fan to kill the Zhou family leader…” Xu Chang Qing said calmly.
“At that time, the Nanshan Sword Seminary was being held. The Zhou family was the biggest threat to your Zhuge family…”
“This is pure nonsense!”
“At that time, we had already made a judgment. It was suspected that the Zhou Family had directed and acted by themselves. They wanted to take the opportunity to destroy us…”
Xu Chang Qing didn’t expect the Zhuge family to be so tactful. However, he wasn’t a reasonable person.
“My teacher told me that when determining the truth of something and no evidence can be found, just look at who benefits in the end…”
“Whoever benefits is the culprit!”
“In my view, those two incidents benefited the Zhuge family, so it must have been you who did it…”
“Moreover, I’ve captured someone, and after interrogation, it was confirmed that they were a spy trained by the Zhuge family!”
Someone had been captured!
Three days ago, the leader of the Zhuge family had lost contact with some of the spy, suspecting that they were either dead or captured.
He had already made preparations for these scenarios.
Now, Xu Chang Qing had come knocking, but the head of the Zhuge family remained calm, “Do you believe the words of a desperate man?”
” In my opinion, the Zhuge family has the least suspicion. Who would send someone out on a mission and have them admit where they’re from?!”
“So, Master Xu, why not investigate other families? Maybe it’s the Zhou family…”
“Don’t play games with me!”
Xu Chang Qing said coldly, “Do you think I’m a fool? Whether it’s the Zhou family or not, I don’t care. Right now, I believe it’s the Zhuge family, and you must give me an explanation!”
“Ah… what you’re saying is unreasonable!” The elders of the Zhuge family said helplessly.
Xu Chang Qing’s face was as cold as ice, “That’s right, I’m being unreasonable. If you don’t give me what I want, then today, I might just wipe out the Zhuge family!”
This time, he had openly brought Zhao Yu into the Zhuge household.
Therefore, he wasn’t worried about Zhao Yu’s safety at all.
In fact, even if someone dared to assassinate Zhao Yu, he believed the Zhuge family would help protect Zhao Yu.
After all, if Zhao Yu died in the Zhuge family, the envoys sent by the Holy City would indeed destroy the Zhuge family.
And if he started a massacre in the Zhuge household alone, it was entirely possible.
“Don’t act rashly!”
The leader of the Zhuge family quickly stopped Xu Chang Qing, recalling the methods Xu Chang Qing used to annihilate the entire underworld in the past two days, feeling a headache coming on.
Xu Chang Qing’s strength in Moon City was undoubtedly the best, even far surpassing all major families.
It would take three or four top experts in the whole city working together to stand a chance against Xu Chang Qing. To kill him, The leader of Zhuge Family predicted it must be almost all of the third tier fighters.
The problem was, they didn’t dare to kill Zhao Yu, nor did they dare to kill Xu Chang Qing.
After all, Xu Chang Qing was representing the Holy City, here to protect Zhao Yu in Moon City. If Zhao Yu died here, how could they explain it?!
Who could tell if Xu Chang Qing died while protecting Zhao Yu?!
If the Holy City did nothing, future protectors wouldn’t even know how they died.
Therefore, Xu Chang Qing couldn’t die, and Zhao Yu couldn’t die either.
“Old Xu, with your character, you would have acted already. Why are you talking so much with us? You must want something, right?!”
At this moment, Zhuge Dali couldn’t help but step forward.
“Although this incident has nothing to do with the Zhuge family, just tell us, what do we need to do for you to let this go?!”
