Chapter 859: Chapter 769: Process of Elimination_4
“Have you thought it through now?”
Tao Yu deliberately appeared before Ancestor Patriarch Yue in Klein’s form, intending to show him that even if he did something, it would not be traced back to him.
There was no pressure in taking action.
When Ancestor Patriarch Yue’s effigy recognized Tao Yu’s face, he also thought of the affair with Long Yin’er back then, never expecting that it too was your doing!
“Not just this, the Huang Family Head, the Assassin’s League, and those things too, I even went over to Tianlong State and killed seven or eight Catastrophe Levels, Saint Ou would have died by my hand too if he hadn’t hid so well…”
Tao Yu had completely taken control of Ancestor Patriarch Yue and had no intention of letting him go, hence there were many cards in his hand that could be played as threats.
He could bring them up casually as talking points.
In fact, Tao Yu was initially just speaking carelessly, but as he talked, he found himself strangely developing a bad reputation!
However, fortunately, Ancestor Patriarch Yue was nothing more than a talking corpse. As long as nobody knew it was him, it was as if nothing had happened…
Upon hearing all this, the flesh and blood effigy contained by Ancestor Patriarch Yue also felt its soul scatter and was terribly frightened.
The news from Tianlong State had just come in.
And it was you, the youngster, who did it?!
At that time, Ancestor Patriarch Yue felt sentimental after hearing about the Tianlong State tragedy, lamenting that so many Catastrophe Levels had died.
But who could have known that this bane of existence originated from his own home and even stumbled upon him?
When such events happen to others, one might feel sentimental or sigh a bit when seeing them on the news.
Like hearing about a serial psycho killer, one might at most chatter away.
But when you turn around and find that the psycho killer is your neighbor knocking at the door, and has already entered your home and tied you up, that’s not wonderful at all!
“This Saint, I truly am blind and did not recognize your grace, I am willing to swear loyalty to you, willing to sign a contract, willing to lead the entire Yue Family to work for you!”
Tao Yu felt no flicker of interest towards these promises from Ancestor Patriarch Yue; he would only take what was his to take, and he never coveted what wasn’t.
The other party just wanted to exchange the Yue Family’s fixed assets for their life!
“You jest, if I went in for a sweep, the useful items would still be mine.”
Tao Yu sighed while extending his hand, directly placing it on the roof of the Yue Family headquarters building!
Although the Yue Family Clan Leader is often absent from the Current World, he would definitely always have an office of his standard.
At this moment, he was sitting before a floor-to-ceiling window, speaking gravely to several people,
“So you’re saying, everything went smoothly back then? The Suns office relied solely on the Security Team to fend off?”
“Clan Leader, it’s absolutely true. That Han Yu might be a member of a great family, but after being trampled on the ground, he didn’t dare to curse or shout, indicating they have no confidence here.”
Yue Cheng, who had appeared quite arrogant at the Suns office, was now as meek as a lamb in front of the Yue Family Clan Leader, very respectful.
“Alright, it seems we truly need to deal with the Suns first…”
And at the next moment, as the Yue Family Clan Leader was speaking with Yue Cheng and the others, his expression suddenly changed,
“Be careful! A Barrier has surrounded us! Damn!”
This was within White Star City!
Ordinarily, they would not have to worry about such things.
But now, just after the Ancestor had vanished, they encountered this situation back at the family residence.
Even without thinking, one could connect this to the Ancestor’s disappearance!
“All hands on deck! Use all means to contact the outside world for help!”
Right as the Yue Family Clan Leader’s voice echoed through the entire building, Yue Cheng and the others discovered in horror that the floor-to-ceiling windows behind the Clan Leader appeared to be covered with a layer of pitch-black ink, completely obscuring the view outside.
Moreover, the lights throughout the building were flickering eerily at a high frequency, then went out altogether!
It was as if the entire building was cut off from the rest of the world!
“We can’t even get in touch with other members of the family!”
The Yue Family Clan Leader’s aide was also looking very anxious.
Taking action within White Star City, how dare they!
But likewise, since they had already taken action, it surely meant tremendous trouble!
This showed the confidence and conviction of the aggressor!
One could say that such a large-scale operation directed at the entire family usually meant reticence, but once action was taken, it would be earth-shattering!
“Do not panic, this place is, after all, White Star City!”
Almost accompanying the resolute words of the Yue Family Clan Leader, the walls, floor, and ceiling of the opulent office seemed to come to life.
The room’s furniture, doors, windows, carpets, and chandeliers also began to take on flesh and blood.
Tentacles began to extend from these bloody masses.
First, they were like tiny fungal strands, then they quickly grew and fused into spirals!
“Damn! It’s the Evil God believers…”
Before the Yue Family Clan Leader could react, a mass of tentacles rolled about and started to engulf the entire Yue Family building, with explosions and impacts occurring, but none of them spreading outside the building. The whole edifice seemed to be in a creeping darkness…
The next morning, outside the grand Yue Family building which seemed undamaged on the surface.
But somehow, the originally grand building now seemed to have a deathly stillness.
Beneath the building in the plaza, a group of people stood with exceedingly ugly expressions.
