Chapter 708 - The Mastermind (1/2)
Silence prevailed in the room.
Gunan's death shocked them all.
The two Gunan brothers gritted their teeth. Gunans' death was not good news at all.
”Gunan's death does not do us any good. He died under Gao Huan's name. His charges are not yet revealed to the public. Without the trial, all of the blame will fall to our family,” Guan Gu Ri said, breaking the silence.
Guan Xixin hit the air angrily. ”This evil sc.u.m gave us big trouble even after he died! Was he born to make us suffer?!”
Xiong Zhi's eyes narrowed. ”Perhaps, this was why the people he was working with chose this time to kill him. In order to make Gunan's mistake fall onto the Guan family and lessen the power of your family even more.”
Guan Gu Ri and Guan Xixin: !!!
”Does the mastermind have something against our family?” Guan Gu Ri asked gravely. His eyes were serious as he watched the man and woman before him.
For him, it seemed as if Xiong Zhi and Linfeng knew more about the situation.
Xiong Zhi and Linfeng glanced at each other.
It was time to tell the Guan brothers about Ming Zhi Yi.
Linfeng went to the door and locked it. He double-checked the security of the room before returning to sit beside Xiong Zhi.
Xiong Zhi meanwhile looked at the two brothers with utmost seriousness in her eyes. ”Listen carefully. What we are going to tell the two of you is very confidential. Something we painstakingly obtained.”
Guan Gu Ri and Guan Xixin both straightened up. Their faces became more somber.
Xiong Zhi continued. ”None of it must come out of this room. Since the two of you had said that you are willing to risk everything you have in order to reach the bottom of this matter, then I hope you are prepared to face dangerous troubles from now on.”
The two brothers swallowed hard. ”We swear to keep silent.”
Xiong Zhi looked them in the eye. ”Are you willing to learn the truth of this matter?”
The two brothers nodded without hesitation.
They have long promised that they would give justice for their third brother. And with the risk of their Guan Empire and their Guan family name being put on the line of fire, they were devoted to bringing down the enemy.
Xiong Zhi took a deep breath and proceeded to tell the two Gunan brothers about Ming Zhi Yi.
Ming Zhi Yi's connection to Gunan, and his true identity.
The clock ticked by.
Ming Zhi Yi....
That uncle whom they were familiar with when they were kids, that person was the mastermind of it all?
The two found it hard to believe.
”I know it must be hard to believe. That man does not seem like someone who can arrogantly infiltrate all the families and threaten the life of the two heads of the four legendary families at the same time. Nor does he not look like an underworld king. However, he is a treacherous and careful man. The power he built is too great and his resources ran deep. We suspect that his power might be comparable to the legendary family.”
