326 Blackmail and Extortion (1/2)

The disembodied voice chuckled grimly and said, ”It seems that Young Master Lei had made inquiries about me. The descendant of the Lei family is magnificent indeed. Even with such a profound cultivation base, still, you are able to act with such prudence.”

Lei Dongtian snorted, ”I wonder what brings Supreme Wind to my doorstep at this hour?”

A loud bang resonated from the doorway.

Old Mu crashed into the room. As he drank in the scene before him, Old Mu was rooted to the ground, even as he felt like rushing over to his master's side.

Lei Dongtian extended his hand to stop Old Mu, ”Patience. Let us see how this pans out.”

Lord Supreme Wind laughed in a carefree manner, ”Young Master Lei appears to understand how things work. Although I am the equal of the both of you, it won’t be easy for you to detain me. Let us talk calmly before we make any rash moves that will throw any sense of civility out the window.”

Lei Dongtian snorted again. He reached out for a chair and placed it behind him. Facing the window, he sat down primly. He then uttered in a faint tone, ”As I had asked before, what brings Lord Supreme Wind here at such a late hour?”

”Well, nothing in particular.” A smiling expression could be detected over the vague silhouette that was Supreme Wind’s figure, ”However, I have a few requests!”

Lei Dongtian chuckled indifferently, ”A few? Please, do tell.”

Lord Supreme Wind's voice was soft, ”First things first. I have been interested in the art of Bound of Universe's Lei Family which is never passed on. I wish to seek some guidance, Young Lord Lei. It will be even better if you are willing to teach it to me.”

Lei Dongtian'shandsome face distorted instantly. With a crooked smile, he uttered, ”What a wonderful dream you have there!”

He was not perfectly certain of the current situation.

He had been betrayed!

He had been thoroughly betrayed by his own people at his own Bound!

He had never mentioned the title ”Lei family in the Bound of Universe”. He had never uttered a word about that, not even in front of Yun Yang!

However, with his opening words, Supreme Wind had revealed his greatest secret.

If it wasn't a betrayal by his own people at the Bound of Universe, what else could it be?

Lei Dongtian's gaze was cold enough to pierce through the bones He then uttered, ”The way Supreme Wind speaks is frank and straightforward. However, before responding to your request, I would like to ask you a question: I wonder who was the one you told you about the title Bound of Universe's Lei Family? Or rather, where did you glean this information from? ”

Despite the increasing tension, Lord Supreme Wind uttered in a calm and unruffled manner, ”Young Lord Lei, although I may be the first one who has requests from you, I am returning a favor by the fact that I have mentioned about ”Lei family from the Bound of Universe”. However, the way you are questioning me right now has turned you into the one who is requesting from me! Since our positions have been switched, don’t you think that Young Lord Lei should display a little more sincerity?”

Lei Dongtian snorted, ”How daring you are! What else do you want?”

Lord Supreme Wind continued, ”I have been observing Young Lord Lei for a long time, and have been touched by the affection you have over a special pair of women. I am willing to return the two ladies to you, so as to fulfill one’s wishes. Accordingly, Young Lord Lei should also contribute something unimportant as a token of appreciation, shouldn’t you?”

Lei Dongtian’s expression was solemn, as still as dead water, ”What do you want? Let's not beat around the bush!”

”The treasured resources within this earth are not something that will impress me. However, the Seven Emotions Praxis that young lord is now practicing...” Lord Supreme Wind chuckled greedily, ”That, I am very interested in. Is such sincerity sufficient? ”

”Lei Dongtian burst out into laughter without giving any hint of what he was actually thinking.

While laughing, he shook his head, ”I really don’t know where your courage comes from, and I don’t even know who was the one who told you about these bizarre things. With the nerve that you have, no wonder you dare to speak openly to me!”

Lei Dongtian's glances were filled with both ridicule and compassion, focusing on the fuzzy silhouette outside the window, ”Perhaps it is by chance that you know about the existence of the Bound of Universe, and to know about the existence of ”Lei Family in the Bound of the Universe”. However, I'm guessing you aren't aware of the details of the Lei Family, are you?”

Outside the window, Supreme Wind whispered softly, ”I don’t need to know much. What I need to make sure is to become strong as soon as possible for the sake of Yutang and for the common people in the world. I will do whatever it takes!”

The words displayed the gallantry of a loyalist, full of certainty as if it was the truth!

Lei Dongtian erupted into laughter. This time, however, the laughter was extremely candid and bright. He almost bent over double, as if he had heard a profound joke. ”How mighty you are! I almost fell for it!”

He continued to laugh. After a while, he spoke in a faint and indifferent tone, ”Before this, I could hardly imagine that there would be such a profound organization in this world that was able to do something that was otherwise impossible!”

Lord Supreme Wind sounded perplexed, ”What are you trying to say?”

Lei Dongtian replied, ”Nothing of note. I just wished to commend the greatest strength of this world, the Four Seasons Tower. It is plain that there won’t be any cowardly personnel to tarnish the well-deserved reputation. It was amazing indeed!”

The fuzzy shadow outside the window trembled slightly before uttering, ”Four Seasons Tower! The Four Seasons Tower is my life's greatest enemy! One day, I am going to have it eliminated once and for all, no matter how strong this organization is!”

Lei Dongtian replied sarcastically, ”Is that so? How stupid would I have to be to believe you? I'll ask one more thing; how do you manage to speak lies with such conviction? It's almost as if you actually believe in it!”

He sneered, ”Do you wish to end your own life just to bring down the Four Seasons Tower?”
