Chapter 39: The Culprit Behind the Deadly Grudge

"Sixth Young Master! Why are you here?"

The snake-patterned man wore a fawning expression; his previously arrogant and overbearing aura had completely vanished.

"Why am I here?"

"Do I need to check in with you to come here?"

The short-haired man sneered and sat directly on the sofa.

"This subordinate wouldn't dare!"

A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on Black Snake's forehead. He was merely a dog raised by the Sixth Young Master, Ye Liang; how could he dare to be disrespectful?

"Hmph!"

Ye Liang snorted coldly and said, "I came here this time to ask you about something."

"Please speak, Young Master!"

Black Snake nodded respectfully.

"Your Broken Axe Hunting Group's base was destroyed previously!"

"And just a moment ago, our Ye family also had an F-level base destroyed!"

"By comparing the wounds, our people discovered that it should be the same person who did it, so I came to ask you…"

"Did you provoke some incredible figure!?"

Ye Liang's words caused Black Snake's expression to change drastically, and he was dumbfounded.

"The Ye… the Ye family's base was also destroyed!?"

Black Snake opened his mouth, his eyes nearly popping out in shock. The Ye family was one of the four major powers in Red Maple City; who would dare to be so reckless as to stroke the Ye family's tiger whiskers?

"That's right, someone actually dares to go against my Ye family!"

"Once I find him, I will definitely make him wish he were dead!"

Ye Liang's expression was cold. "Now, tell me, do you have any suspects?"

"This subordinate… this subordinate has offended many people…"

Black Snake said tremblingly, "But none of them are tough bones; I have always cleaned them up thoroughly…"

"Hmph, forget it, I didn't expect you to be of any use anyway."

Ye Liang snorted faintly. "Go get the gold coins collected last month; I need to purchase a Medicinal Pill to prepare for my Breakthrough to Intermediate Martial Artist."

"Young Master is going to have a Breakthrough!?"

"As expected of the Young Master, you are truly amazing; compared to you, brutes like us are nothing!"

Black Snake was surprised at first, then immediately showed an incomparably fawning and ingratiating expression.

"Enough nonsense, go!"

Ye Liang waved his hand, and Black Snake immediately trotted off to get the gold coins.

Before long, Black Snake returned to the room carrying a large box and placed it in front of Ye Liang: "Young Master, there are 1,265 gold coins in total!"

"Hmm, very good."

Ye Liang nodded, just about to order Black Snake to send people to continue tracking the murderer.

"Ah!"

A scream suddenly came from outside.

"What's going on!?"

Ye Liang, the old man, Black Snake, and the Quasi-Martial Artist who hadn't dared to move all looked toward the door in shock.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside, the hurried sound even giving one a sense of impatience.

"Hahahaha, the Ye family's Sixth Young Master, Ye Liang, and 1,265 gold coins…"

On the roof of the high-rise next door, Su Lang curled his lips, revealing a strange and excited smile. He never expected that by coming to the headquarters of the Broken Axe Hunting Group, he would actually run into Ye Liang, the very culprit who ordered his death! What an unexpected surprise!

Inside the Golden Fruit Building, the footsteps grew closer. Following them was a faint, bloody scent.

"Who is it?"

"Who dares to kill people so recklessly in the Golden Fruit Building?"

Black Snake was stunned; he never dreamed in his wildest dreams that someone would dare to kill their way into his hunting group's headquarters!

"What are you panicking about!?"

Ye Liang shouted coldly. "With Old Lu here, whoever comes will die."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man behind him stepped forward, revealing an unfathomable aura.

Just then, the person appeared at the door. Black robe, white face, carrying a saber in one hand and a head in the other, blood splattered all the way. The face was covered by a black hood and mask, and the white mask was stained with a few drops of bright red blood.

"A-Qiu!"

Looking at the head in the newcomer's hand that was still staring with eyes wide open, Black Snake was furious. A-Qiu was his most trusted subordinate, yet he had been beheaded!

Compared to Black Snake, Ye Liang and Old Lu were even more shocked, dumbfounded, and completely stunned! They had long received news that the person who destroyed the F-level Dark Snake base was a saber-wielding expert in a black robe and white mask. And at this moment, the killer that the entire Ye family had been desperately searching for was right before their eyes!
