Chapter 873: Chapter 772: This is the Truth!_2
Gan Hao bowed his head, cold sweat covering his forehead.
Catastrophe Level hunting!
Could it really be one of the Suns’ powerful figures disguised as him, fishing for information?
A Catastrophe Level in less than three years, how could that be possible…
Right, it must be one of the Suns’ strong allies, or perhaps some other mighty figure they are on good terms with, or someone he met outside fishing for information, that’s the only possibility!
No matter which possibility it was, the fact remained that someone had slain a Catastrophe Level being on Gan Family grounds, and it would take but a fleeting thought for the opposing party to annihilate their clan!
At such a time, Gan Hao had no thoughts left for neutrality; all kinds of promises were hastily made first.
“Meh, I can’t be bothered to deal with it, just heard their bragging and came to ask.”
After Tao Yu finished speaking, he casually tossed the head he was holding to Gan Hao, who clumsily caught it.
“Their clan probably has some sort of bloodline sensation; they might already know. Later, just handle it however you can, just stick to the truth.”
After saying that, Tao Yu, along with Gu Qiu at his side, vanished from Gan Hao and his son’s sight in a few steps as if they shrank the earth beneath them.
And there Gan Hao stood, holding the head specially left by Carter, feeling a bitter taste in his heart.
Almost at the same time, a threatening aura emerged from the Floating City above, and in an instant, the air in the Inner City seemed to solidify, a thunderous roar echoing,
“Who dares to kill my nephew!”
The sudden thunderous roar caused not only people in the Outer City to feel as if struck by lightning.
Those with less firm wills involuntarily sunk to their knees, a storm seemed imminent…
According to Tao Yu’s instructions, Tao Tong contacted his parents via phone and, since Tao Shi had just returned, he went personally to Uncle Hu’s office to deliver an invitation.
Upon seeing Tao Tong, Tao Hu also showed a smile on his face,
“You could’ve just called, go ahead and reserve the rooms; you didn’t have to come here in person, that makes us look estranged…”
“Uncle Hu, before you always…”
But before Tao Tong could finish his polite remarks, the deafening sound tore through the sky.
Despite being Intermediate Partners, which already placed them above the masses, even Tao Tong and Tao Hu felt their minds go blank in that moment.
Tao Tong felt a sudden pang of dread; had Old Seven gone to argue in the Inner City?
He had thought, with World Breaker showing up, as long as they didn’t come to blows, things should’ve been amicable. After all, it was just the small-time Black Rat Gang from the Outer City, and the Gan Family would likely apologize and even offer compensation.
And his younger brother could gain some newfound prestige through this.
However, the furious roar that suddenly erupted made him feel uneasy.
Was it Old Seven who killed this powerful individual’s nephew?
Was the timing just too coincidental?
After all, he had heard of Old Seven’s ‘reputation’.
Not only him but Uncle Hu’s expression grew tense and worried at this point.
“This, this is probably not just a strong figure from the Inner City, this aura, this range…”
Saying this, Tao Hu couldn’t help swallowing hard, then reluctantly said,
“It might be someone important from the Floating City…”
“Catastrophe Level!?”
Tao Tong, now also cramming knowledge, understood the significance represented by Catastrophe Level.
He then eagerly took out a set of expensive communicators he had never dared to use, and sent out a message,
“Miss Sun, my little brother might be in trouble, he went to the Gan Family…”
Tao Tong quickly summarized the situation, the only solution he could think of!
Even now, as the conflict between the Suns and the Starshines had spread throughout the mission halls, with speculation running wild amongst the onlookers, all kinds of versions, all explanations.
As exaggerated as it could be, without exception, the Suns were expected to be at a disadvantage.
Acting rashly could worsen the situation.
But for Tao Tong, he was only concerned about the safety of his younger brother, which was his top priority. The circumstances of the Sun family were not for him to consider; he could only pray the Suns would intervene.
After sending the message, it didn’t take long for him to receive a reply,
Floating City, Sun Shiyu didn’t blame Tao Yu for not getting in touch sooner after returning to Starshine. After receiving the message, she was startled, her breathing hastened for a moment before she quickly reached out to her father,
“Dad, Tao Yu’s back, and the rage from old man Gundy might have been triggered by him! He’s reached Catastrophe Level!”
Previously, Sun Shiyu had learned some of Tao Yu’s circumstances, but she decided to keep this news a secret for now, as it was not certain there would be no leaks within the Sun family.
A secret was safest in her own hands, and there was no rush since the little pup had gone to Tianlong State.
The angry roar had just passed, and Sun Shiyu didn’t know which of Gundy’s nephews could’ve provoked such wrath.
Yet turning around, she received the news from Tao Tong and immediately realized the gravity of the situation!
The situation at State Capital had been briefly reported by Han Yu earlier, but because Tao Yu didn’t specify his return date to Han Yu, Sun Shiyu wasn’t certain of the timing.
Also, with word from State Capital about the Yue Family being wiped out, based on what Sun Shiyu knew of Tao Yu, it was probably his doing. She thought he’d need more time to reap the benefits.
But to think he’d already arrived in Starshine.
After his return, he didn’t stay quiet, just up and went to the Gan Family, and now he’d taken out a Catastrophe Level from the Gundy clan?
Her head spun from the convoluted situation.
