Yue Guang’s face visibly darkened.
Even in the Foolish Underworld, he struggled to control himself.
Humans, greedy, foolish, filthy, are an inferior existence, a lowly race, only fitting to be food.
Yue Guang couldn’t understand, it even felt inconceivable.
Among the demons, there were actually demons willing to serve humans!
Could this really be sothing their demonic comrades would do?
To harm their own kind for re humans!
A turn of his body.
Tap tap tap!
Yue Guang silently quickened his pace and left.
He was going to Luo Shen Cloth Workshop, to see what that traitor looked like!
...
Lin Family.
Amidst singing and dancing, a lazy and fat giant figure sat in the highest seat, disinterestedly looking down at the performance below.
He was more than three ters tall, his body bloated like a small hill, as if even moving would be a struggle.
His exclusive seat was as large as a big bed.
Several maids lay on his body, occasionally picking grapes from the plate resting on his belly.
First, they put them into their own mouths to coat them with sweet saliva, then climbed up and fed them into the mouth of the man resembling a at mountain.
Next to the aty man on both sides, were servants specifically waving fans to cool him off.
This seed to be the aty man’s daily routine; he had grown accustod to such a do-nothing life.
But today was a bit different.
Tap tap tap.
A series of urgent footsteps approached from afar.
"Lord Lin Ye!"
"Lord Lin Ye, the master is still resting inside..."
The music stopped.
Because the newcor had no simple identity.
"Continue playing the music, keep on dancing."
The master yawned lazily, looking towards Lin Ye indifferently.
"What’s the matter? I believe I’ve said that you’ll temporarily manage family affairs."
Lin Ye, head bowed, respectfully saluted, then spoke.
"Master, Young Master Lin Jie is dead."
The master’s movents paused.
"...Xiao Jiu?"
He seed sowhat bewildered, absent-minded.
Presenting a strangely peculiar sensation, a feeling of being stuck.
As if... recalling so mory.
In his mind, the mories of Lin Jie, from being a newborn to toddling around, to his current youthful accomplishnts.
A tear suddenly stread from the master’s eye.
But his voice remained unusually cold, calm, with an odd detachnt.
As if the one who died wasn’t his son, but soone else’s child.
"Is that so? He’s dead, huh."
Creak creak.
The bed made sounds as if it could hardly bear the weight.
The fleshy mass slowly stood up from the bed.
The maids scread as they rolled to the ground, but hurriedly covered their mouths, knelt, and dared not make any more noise.
The master was very lazy.
Sotis he didn’t even bother to move.
Such large movents had beco very rare for him.
The people below were terrified and knelt down en masse, a hundred or so people kneeling together made for a grand sight.
However, among them, only one person remained standing, maintaining the previous bowing posture.
The master began to move.
Slowly, one step after another, he walked towards Lin Ye.
With each step he took, his form shrunk a little.
His entire figure seed shrinking, compressing, his size reducing with each step.
By the ti he reached Lin Ye, he had shrunk from a three-ter-tall at mountain to the size of a youth.
With a youthful face, calm eyes, and a youthful body, there wasn’t a trace left of his previous at mountain appearance.
"Tell , how did Xiao Jiu die."
When he spoke, his voice had the distinct immaturity of a young man, but his expression was still very stiff.
Those around hid their heads even lower, their bodies trembling slightly, fearful of seeing the master’s current appearance.
Lin Ye also kept his head down, saying.
"According to the information, Young Master Lin Jie was killed by a demon known as Green Demon."
"Have they been caught?"
The master tilted his head slightly, gently tapping his forehead, as if organizing his thoughts.
In his mind erged a mory of a young boy begging and wandering on the streets.
The young boy in the mory, was almost identical to his current appearance.
Those mories of being beaten while begging, the humiliation, as vivid as if it happened yesterday.
Rembering those injuries from escaping brought a stinging pain, as if it was just yesterday.
"No, the Foolish Underworld’s people couldn’t hold down that demon, and it escaped."
"Is that so? It can’t escape from Tianyuan Town."
"Yes."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
The master smiled, the expression gradually becoming more natural, as if he had rged with the mory of the youth, no longer rigid or awkward.
"There’s a living witness left at the scene where Young Master Lin Jie was killed."
"Only one?"
"Only one."
The implications within were self-evident.
"...What’s the na?"
"Diao Deyi."
"Any background?"
"A person under Li Baizhen of the Li Family, one of the ten heads of the Foolish Underworld."
"Interrogated?"
Lin Ye shook his head.
"The Foolish Underworld wouldn’t release the person."
The master laughed.
"Bring him back."
"...It’s the Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld, not releasing the person."
"..."
The master showed a slight surprise.
"Those old fools want to protect a head of ten?"
"Yes."
"Interesting."
The master laughed again.
"Look into it, if the old guys took interest, it won’t be simple."
"Already checked, a person from West Street, trained in Yuan Ti Martial Arts Hall, later joined the Foolish Underworld, got connected with Li Qianxuan, beca a confidant of Li Baizhen."
"Yuan Ti Martial Arts Hall?"
The master narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It wouldn’t be that the old man’s research has so results, right?"
"I don’t know."
"No matter, I’ll go myself and see what’s with that kid."
Lin Ye’s complexion changed drastically.
"Master?!"
"What? You don’t want to go out?"
"No... it’s just that, such a trivial matter doesn’t need your personal intervention."
"Ha ha ha! I’m rusting away from staying at ho, going out for a walk to stretch my muscles and bones. Besides, I can give so demons a little warning. Otherwise, they’ll really think Tianyuan Town is their turf."
