In the White Chalk City, a tavern...
"Do you know the news of Patriarch Bai's death, the night that the news spread, the entire Bai Clan residence was forced to awake, they were all mourning the death of their Patriarch,"
"But they don't know who killed their Patriarch, it's ridiculous, how can no one know, even they can't find his body, what a pity." The middle-aged man spoke while shaking his head, as if he had also felt the misfortune that Patriarch Bai had experienced.
"Shut your mouth, don't be hard, or you don't realize your head is out of place." Men's semeja friend talking glaring at his friend.
The man was silent for a moment, he was very afraid of his friend.
"But what you said is not wrong, it is indeed very unfortunate, I heard that not only the Patriarch of the Bai Clan, in the Yu Clan is also experiencing similar things,"
"Even he said Patriarch Yu left with almost the entire wealth of the Yu Clan, now the Yu Clan is forced to live frugally, or they won't be able to survive for long." The black-faced middle-aged man said regretfully.
"God! ... Not yet dry his lips while forbidding me to gossip, but he did not know shamefully gossip." The man clapping grumbled in his heart.
"Indeed no one can stand, if talking about others.." Men chuckle amusedly while back inwardly.
Right next to the seat of the pair of men, there was a person with a black robe covering his entire body, only his palms and face were visible from it.
"Is it true that they said, I haven't checked what's inside the rings of the two old men. If there's a lot of wealth, I'm really lucky." Zhou Fan then took out the ring of the two Patriarchs that already belonged to him.
Without the two middle-aged men noticing, Zhou Fan had heard the whole story of the two, he was wearing covered clothes in order for his desire to find out who was the mastermind behind the Zhou Clan's assault.
Zhou Fan did not want anyone to know the members of the Zhou Clan were in the white chalk city, or else the attack brains of the Zhou Clan would become wary.
As Zhou Fan was about to check the contents inside, the two men next to him went deeper into the story they knew, quickly Zhou Fan put his ears wide.
"That time I saw Patriarch Bai meeting someone, that person was so mysterious, Patriarch Bai was seen conversing, I don't know what they were talking about."
"I who was a little away from where the two could only hear faintly, and I heard, if not mistaken ... They were talking about the Clan in the Black Stone City, as well as a pendant...,"
"As I was about to eavesdrop closer, one of Patriarch Bai's men blocked me, even throwing me far out. Huhhhhh... I'm so upset to remember the incident, it's good that he threw me like a sack," The man in the conversation kept on roaring, he didn't care if his friend listened or not.
"Oh yeah... If it is not wrong that the mysterious man wore a mask, but his mask only covered half his face, he also wore a robe, in the back of his cloak there is a picture of the sun and moon," he said.
Brakes...
The black-faced man kicked the table slowly, but it was enough to make his friend quiet.
"Can't you talk about the cleptas ceplos? You'll get me in trouble if anyone hears it." The black-faced man shouted with a detained voice, he did not want to make a scene inside the tavern, although it was not too crowded, the tavern was also not quiet.
Indeed, if at night the condition of the store is fairly moderate, not many are also not quiet, like today, in the store at least there are some people who are sitting relaxed.
"Yayayaa... I'll shut my mouth. Hem.." The man clapping showed his mouth that had been tightly locked.
"A masked man in a robe with a picture on his back." Zhou Fan nodded, noting the figure who was likely the mastermind behind the Zhou Clan's attack.
After tapping the table a few times, Zhou Fan came out, but before that he left a number of gold coins on the table as payment for the food he ordered.
"Where should I look for him." Subconsciously Zhou Fan walked towards a large building.
"Isn't this the City Lord's residence?" Zhou Fan muttered softly, who does not know if the large building belongs to the City Lord, because on the roof of the residence is clearly emblazoned with the inscription, 'Master of the City'. Which is clearly visible with the torch that lights it.
Zhou Fan was about to turn around, but his gaze unintentionally led to a woman in a black robe with a picture of the moon sun behind her back.
Zhou Fan's eyes narrowed, he sharpened his vision, his eyes were rounded as his eyes met the City Lord standing beside the woman.
"I have to get closer!" Zhou Fan swallowed the same pill as he massacred one by one the armies of the two Patriarchs.
Slowly the existence of Zhou Fan disappeared, when it was time, he moved carefully.
Shutt...
Zhou Fan darted and hid behind the right-wing building, right next to the two people.
"It shouldn't be a problem to hear from here." Zhou Fan focused his hearing.
"I told you, the matter of the Empire's standing has nothing to do with me, you don't force me." The City Lord said in an uneasy voice, it seemed that he disagreed with the woman of his interlocutor.
"I'm not forcing you, I'm just warning you, don't forget your sister's life, she's in our hands, if you don't intend to save her then forget it...,"
The woman was about to leave, but the City Lord stopped her, albeit with a slightly reluctant face.
"If you waste my time, you'll find a head hanging on your doorstep when morning comes." The woman said without turning her body, she still turned her back to the City Lord who was already in a difficult expression.
"Don't touch my sister, I'll do what you say. However,..." The City Lord said in an imploring tone.
"You have no right to make an offer. If you obey, of course the lives of your sister and her child will be fine. The opposite is true." The woman snorted, deliberately cutting off the words of the City Lord who was about to issue a condition, she threatened by emphasizing a few words.
Instantly the City Lord's face turned grim, but he could not do anything, if by killing the woman before him could free his sister, of course he would do it without consideration.
But it could not be that easy, other than the strength of the woman before him was not much different from him, there were several pairs of eyes that were eyeing from the darkness watching his movements.
"Remember, do not be of any kind, for a pair of lives are in your hands. Khe..." The woman said casually while laughing softly, but her words could really shake the City Lord.
After saying, the woman was already out of place, the shadow in the darkness also left her place, following the woman.
Zhou Fan who had been hiding beside the residence, tried to digest the situation, but the information within him was too minimal, he had not been able to deduce the woman's motive.
He decided to go out, approaching the City Lord who was about to re-enter his residence.
"Wait for the City Lord!"
