Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God Chapter 552: Matters of Great Importance

After the car entered the Inner City, the topic about the Fairy Queen was no longer continued.

For Sleepless Sky Huole, she simply took Lin Yu's earlier words as a joke—after all, Furbollo was originally soone who never took things seriously.

Although these past two days had made Sleepless Sky Huole feel that "Furbollo" had undergone so transformation, revealing a powerful and mysterious side he had always hidden, one that even he himself hadn't been aware of, beneath his originally careless deanor, but when you got down to it...

So parts of Furbollo were still that sa Furbollo.

"Ah, right, since we're talking about Sleepless Sky Huoxing, I've prepared her gift," Lin Yu said.

Sleepless Sky Huole looked sowhat surprised.

"What? But I prepared one for you too... I had soone buy a pair of bracelets made from Cold Jade produced in the Great Wasteland. They're valuable enough and fit your identity as a suitor."

"Don't worry, I won't let you lose face. I'm just keeping what it is a secret for now," Lin Yu said, then waved his hand dismissively. "Keep those bracelets for yourself. I have sothing more suitable for Sleepless Sky Huoxing."

As he spoke, Sleepless Sky Huole hesitated for a mont before nodding and saying, "Alright, since you put it that way..."

"However, after you disappeared for a while yesterday and then suddenly reappeared at the White Jade Pavilion in the Sky, was it really just to find this gift?"

Sleepless Sky Huole asked. Lin Yu shook his head.

"Actually, no."

"Then what did you go do?" Sleepless Sky Huole frowned. "After visiting the Public Security Bureau and the Sheng Lan Family, you vanished, and then you were caught off guard and frad by people from the Sorenson Family at the White Jade Pavilion in the Sky... Even though I trust you and am willing to give you freedom, you still owe an explanation."

Lin Yu nodded. "I went to the Public Security Bureau specifically to investigate his purpose... and I did dig up so things, which is why I went to find Sheng Lan Kui afterward."

"As for the White Jade Pavilion in the Sky," Lin Yu smiled, "the Sorenson Family didn't fra ."

"The incident at the White Jade Pavilion in the Sky, but the culprit wasn't the Sorenson Family?" Sleepless Sky Huole said in surprise. "But what I found clearly pointed to the Sorenson Family's handiwork... If it wasn't them, why did they repeatedly oppose when I pressured the Public Security Bureau today?"

"Who on earth could have misled from behind the scenes into directly clashing with the Sorenson Family?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "You've misunderstood the direction. It was indeed the Sorenson Family stirring things up behind the scenes... but they weren't framing or setting up."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Sleepless Sky Huole processed this for a mont before realizing an incredible truth.

"Wait... Did you really do it?"

There was naturally no need to hide it from Sleepless Sky Huole.

"Of course. Just three middlen from the Outer City. Killing them was no big deal," Lin Yu said calmly. "Because I did uncover so things."

"What things?"

Sleepless Sky Huole pressed curiously.

Lin Yu looked down at his own right hand. That hand still belonged to him, and he could feel and control it normally.

But looking at it, it sohow also felt like it was on equal footing with him.

"I tracked down a commission targeting a Peerage Noble, related to the Sleepless Night Family—soone intends to assassinate a Peerage Noble at Sleepless Sky Huoxing's Coming-of-Age Ceremony."

Lin Yu said softly.

Upon hearing this, Sleepless Sky Huole imdiately sat up straight. "What? Are you serious about this?"

"I wouldn't lie to you about sothing like this."

Lin Yu said calmly.

Sleepless Sky Huole looked at Lin Yu, a rare trace of dissatisfaction directed at him appearing on her face. "Why didn't you tell earlier?"

"We only just got a chance to be alone. You can't expect to talk about this in a Gray Three Streets bar," Lin Yu replied calmly.

Sleepless Sky Huole's expression softened slightly. "That's true... Anyway, this is extrely valuable information... If soone accepts this commission, even if they don't succeed, rely causing so disturbance or casualties at Huoxing's Coming-of-Age Ceremony would likely be a huge blow to ."

Sleepless Sky Huole said through gritted teeth, "If they actually succeed... then I might really lose my position as Family Head... The Sleepless Night Family could also suffer a major blow because of this!"

"Whichever Peerage Noble family it is, having one die at Huoxing's Coming-of-Age Ceremony... would be a big problem for the Sleepless Night Family in its current state."

Watching Sleepless Sky Huole's instantly anxious deanor, Lin Yu sighed inwardly.

The Sleepless Night Family Head was really right; Huole's heart was still too kind.

The reason she made such a judgnt was because she subconsciously believed that "a Peerage Noble dying" was sothing difficult to resolve—just like earlier at Gray Three Streets, even if Lin Yu hadn't persuaded her, Sleepless Sky Huole probably wouldn't have actually killed many people.

Although Sleepless Sky Huole would kill, from the perspective of a Superior, a ruler of a large power...

Sleepless Sky Huole could actually be considered an out-and-out "benevolent ruler."

"Can you know who the target is? Even a general range?"

"Not a direct descendant or a key figure in power. It should be soone who hasn't made a public appearance in a long ti," Lin Yu reminded her. "As for the client, I investigated that too, but found no leads."

"By the way, I did et the Fairy Queen. Part of the reason I went to kill the middlen and go to Gray Three Streets was to see if there were any clues about the client from the Gray Three Streets side."

Sleepless Sky Huole nodded, her expression grave.

"I need to report this to Mother—this ti, you don't need to co. This matter is of great importance, concerning the entire future and fate of the Sleepless Night Family. I must minimize your connection to it as much as possible."

"If you go, you'll definitely also be held responsible by Mother. If this ultimately causes irreparable damage, Mother might even vent her anger on you... Although you currently enjoy Mother's favor and affection, taking that favor and affection back is just a fleeting thought for Mother."

Just as Lin Yu was about to say sothing, Sleepless Sky Huole gently pressed her index finger against his lips.

"This is a responsibility I cannot escape, but it is not yours, Furbollo—telling about this is already an enormous help. If it succeeds, I won't forget to inform Mother of your contribution."

"But if it fails... you cannot bear this responsibility."

Sleepless Sky Huole said seriously, then pressed the button to speak to the Driver.

"Don't head ho first. First, drop Furbollo off at the Truth Tower and have Paris receive him for a while, then take ho."

"As you command."

The Driver's reply ca from the speaker, and then the car changed direction, deviating from the original route that led straight to the Sleepless Night Family ho.

Lin Yu moved Sleepless Sky Huole's finger aside and sighed.

"You..."

"On this matter, don't defy , Furbollo—preserving Mother's favorable impression of you is also useful to . Even if I really lose Mother's trust because of this... at least if you still have Mother's favor, you can beco a fallback for ."

Lin Yu sighed again.

"I was going to say you're overthinking it. I never intended to go back with you to tell the Family Head about this anyway."

"Do I really seem like such a brave person to you?"
