Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Your Lü family is getting bolder and bolder."

Within the crimson array, Li Mao, the patriarch of the Li family, slowly raised his head, glaring angrily at the Lü family members on the pillar, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.

He was genuinely angry.

Although the Li family and the Lü family have always been allies and there is no conflict of interest between them.

If it's just a minor incident, he'll turn a blind eye and let it pass.

But this time, the Lü family crossed his bottom line.

"We truly have something extremely important to discuss with you!"

The burly man in black, imprisoned on a pillar, shouted loudly.

He certainly didn't want to actually die.

In truth, he was also extremely surprised at that moment.

Although there have been rumors about the Li family's dealings with the Skull Church, seeing it with one's own eyes gives a completely different feeling.

After all, strictly speaking, the Church of the Skull is the enemy of the entire capital.

While colluding with the enemy isn't considered utterly heinous by most of the elite in the capital, it still carries a certain degree of unease.

Now that they have seen their accomplices so brazenly colluding with the enemy, they feel much more relaxed on the one hand, and on the other hand, they despise the Li family even more.

What a disgusting and filthy thing!

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the capital, the Li family produced a number of traitors.

So many years have passed, and it turns out that the Li family is colluding with the Skull Church again.

A leopard can't change its spots.

The burly man in black thought to himself.

Li Mao slowly walked up to the burly man in black. His bloodshot eyes almost pierced the man's soul, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.

"You said you had something extremely important to discuss with me. I'd like to hear what it is that's so important that you fools dared to trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the Li family!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man in black felt a little more at ease.

It's a good thing that he was able to speak.

"Didn't you previously ask the Lü family for help in finding Young Master Li's lost memories?"

"We've found it!"

"That severed memory is in Zhao Yi's hands!"

Li Mao squinted:

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"Back then, Zhao Yi wasn't even a major criminal. How could he possibly erase my son's memories?"

"After your Lü family suffered a setback with Zhao Yi, you're trying to use us to get rid of him?"

"Lu Mingbing's plan is far too ambitious."

"If that's all you wanted to say to me, then you might as well all die!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man in black immediately shouted:

"Wait a minute!"

His eyes darted around, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Damn it!

Didn't the head of the family say that Li Mao and the Skull Church were discussing extremely important matters and had no time to attend to other matters?

Why do you look so shrewd and clear-headed right now?

Surely I, the dignified head of the Lü family, am not going to die here today?

In times of crisis, a person's potential is greatly unleashed.

The burly man in black was just like that.

At that critical moment of life and death, something seemed to suddenly connect in his mind, and he immediately spoke to Li Mao in front of him:

"Patriarch Li, you only know one side of the story, not the other!"

"It was indeed Zhao Yi who killed Young Master Li Chenglong, but he wasn't the one who cut out his memories!"

Li Mao, who was about to attack the man in black, stopped, his eyes flashing, and after a moment said:

"Go on."

"I'm listening."

The burly man in black struggled to control his heartbeat and began to weave a story:

"Hmm... I wonder if the patriarch still remembers what the Fifth Federation did a long time ago."

He gave Li Mao a wink, signaling him to look at the suffering monk beside him.

Li Mao, being a shrewd man, immediately understood what the burly man in black was talking about.

The Fifth Federation once used Ouyang Feng's body to trick the Skull Church, killing the Red Gloves and Black Boots members sent by the Skull Church to Valley Suspension Town and the Abandoned City.

"I know about that."

He said lightly.

"so what?"

The burly man in black cleared his throat, trying to make his tone mysterious:

"So, is it possible... that Ouyang Feng isn't dead?"

Li Mao frowned.

"You mean, Chenglong's memories were cut apart by Ouyang Feng?"

The burly man in black raised an eyebrow and said:

"Exactly."

"Or perhaps, Ouyang Feng taught Zhao Yi to do it this way."

"Suppose... I mean suppose, there was some ominous tomb near the ruined city back then, let's just call it Havel's Tomb, and some powerful artifacts were left inside. Zhao Yi happened to find them and preserved Ouyang Feng's body inside. Then, Zhao Yi had some kind of fortuitous encounter at the entertainment company, which allowed him to communicate with Ouyang Feng on a telepathic level. So, after discussing it, Ouyang Feng helped Zhao Yi capture Young Master Li Chenglong and cut out that crucial part of his memories..."

Li Mao stared coldly at the burly man in black:

"Are you writing a novel here?"

The burly man in black coughed:

"These things sound outrageous, but that's not important at all. What's important is... with Ouyang Feng's help, Zhao Yi severed Young Master Li's memories, so doesn't it seem less fantastical?"

"Besides, the Fifth Federation schemed against Ouyang Feng back then, so he must hold a grudge. Fengzi knows that the Fifth Federation has connections with the four major families, so he secretly helped Zhao Yi take revenge on us..."

Li Mao carefully pondered the words of the burly man in black.

So magical.

Logically speaking, however, this makes sense.

In other words, if Ouyang Feng helps, many unreasonable things will become reasonable.

Seeing that the murderous aura emanating from Li Mao had lessened considerably, the burly man in black slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm such a clever little devil.

What Ouyang Feng? What Havel's Cemetery... He can come up with such absurd reasons!

Actually, he originally wanted to say that Zhao Yi used his special ability to cut through Li Chenglong's memories with the power of his bloodline, and he even gave this ability a nice name: "Dissecting the Ox".

But even he himself didn't believe this reason, let alone Li Mao.

If I told you, I'd probably die on the spot.

"Did you make these up yourself, or did you find out from your investigation?"

Li Mao spoke slowly in a low voice.

The burly man in black gritted his teeth and said:

"Made up."

"but!"

"The Lü family has a young expert in telekinesis who went to the movie with Zhao Yi. Taking advantage of Zhao Yi's unpreparedness, he discovered a portion of memories that did not belong to Zhao Yi at all, and these memories were sealed away by an exceptionally powerful force..."

"We are worried that Ouyang Feng is behind all of this in secret."

"If it's him, then the seal you left in Li Chenglong's sea of ​​consciousness might actually be broken!"

"I believe you know better than I do what kind of genius Ouyang Feng is."

"If any information that shouldn't have been revealed is disclosed at that time..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Mao's aura suddenly changed!

Feeling the impact of the terrifying killing intent, the burly man in black was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

He knew that he had really hit the jackpot this time!

"I'm fucking the chosen one!"

That's what he thought.

Then, Li Mao punched him in the head and smashed it open.

Red and white splashes.

The mouth that fell to the ground was still smiling.

PS: First update.

Less water today.

I'll try to write 4-5 chapters.

Let's see if we can make it less runny.
