CHAPTER 627: CHAPTER 534: I ALONE AM ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH HIM_2

"Can you not do this?"

Jiang Tao pleaded, "I’ll do anything else you ask, just not this."

"Shut up."

Song Wu glared at him viciously.

"Either agree, or die. You have no other choice. Besides, there were other people with you that day. If you die, we can just capture the others. It’s the same result."

Hearing this, Jiang Tao seemed to have his throat constricted, unable to make a sound.

"Anyway, we finally found out who the killer is. It’s much better than running around like headless chickens." The fourth brother of the Song Family said, a look of relief appearing on his face.

"Yes, elder brother must be anxiously waiting for our news. Second brother, why don’t we call him now and tell him the good news?"

"Alright."

Song Wu thought the same, immediately taking out his phone and dialing elder brother Song Tian’s number.

It only rang once or twice before it was answered.

"Second brother, how is it? Any clues?"

Song Tian’s urgent voice came through.

Seeing the agreed time with the Feng Country people getting closer, yet no progress in the investigation, he, as the patriarch, was extremely anxious.

He had high hopes for Song Wu’s side but was also fearful that it would all come to nothing.

"Elder brother, we’ve made progress."

Song Wu said in a deep voice, "Just a short while ago, I infiltrated their headquarters and took a hostage. After a bit of intimidation, he confessed everything."

"What!"

Song Tian’s breathing became rapid, "So you’re saying the one who killed third brother is really that Chen Fan?"

"That’s right, it’s him!"

Song Tian took a deep breath, suppressing the joy within, and asked, "What exactly happened? Tell me everything."

"Repeat what you said earlier."

Song Wu kicked Jiang Tao, "If I find any discrepancies, don’t blame me for being rude."

Jiang Tao gave a bitter laugh, and had no choice but to recount the events once more.

"So it really was that Chen Fan who did it?"

Song Tian’s voice was low on the other end, and with his words, a chill spread around him, the room temperature instantly dropping by more than ten degrees.

"Yes, it was him."

Song Wu responded, "But Shen Si was also involved. Hmph, no wonder when I went to find him yesterday, he acted clueless. He was also afraid of getting into trouble."

"Yes, that guy’s acting was really good, he even fooled us."

"We’ll see how he tries to deny it later!" The fourth and fifth Song brothers chimed in.

"Elder brother, it’s great that we know who the killer is now, but capturing that guy won’t be easy."

Song Wu said seriously, "Based on our estimates, Chen is most likely still at their headquarters, guarded by Celestial Realm Martial Artists. With just us, we might not be able to do much."

"Guarded by Celestial Realm Martial Artists?"

Song Tian’s expression turned grave after hearing this. "You’re right. The Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association has two Celestial Realm Martial Artists at their headquarters. If we go to capture him, we’ll definitely be opposed."

"Elder brother, as of now, there should only be one Celestial Realm Martial Artist at their headquarters. According to the latest information, Shi Tao has left and won’t be back for a few days."

"Oh?"

Song Tian was a bit surprised.

"Is the information reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable."

Song Wu answered without hesitation.

"Good, this might save us some trouble."

Song Tian nodded.

Even if Shi Tao were there, the Song Family wouldn’t be afraid.

With the thousand-year foundation of the Song Family, it wasn’t something that the recently established Martial Arts Association could compare to.

But better safe than sorry. If Shi Tao was determined to protect Chen Fan, it would lead to an inevitable confrontation. The death of Shi Tao wouldn’t be a problem, but losing one of the Song Family’s Celestial Realm Martial Artists would be troublesome.

Therefore, if not absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to completely fall out with Shi Tao. Shi Tao’s absence was a great opportunity.

"Later, I will go see the elders and ask one of them to help hold off that Elder Wang. I will deal with Chen Fan myself. As for you all, stay in Jiangnan City. Tomorrow, we will meet up."

"Yes, elder brother!"

Song Wu responded quickly, finally feeling the weight lift off him.

The Song Family had three elders: one at the Early Stage and two at the Mid Stage of the Celestial Realm.

Elder Wang seemed to be at the Mid Stage, but given the family’s foundation, even if the Early Stage elder came out, holding him off for some time wouldn’t be a problem. They might even have the upper hand.

"Elder brother, that Chen kid isn’t simple. Be cautious. I think we should all go together to prevent any accidents." Song Wu reminded.

"Don’t worry, I can handle him alone."

Song Tian said in a deep voice.

As the patriarch of the Song Family, handling a younger generation alone, needing help would be disgraceful.

"Alright."

Song Wu didn’t say anything more.

He himself didn’t believe that his elder brother would fail.

"If there’s nothing else, let’s end the call. Stay safe out there and don’t get discovered. Also, keep that person alive, don’t kill him."

"Yes, elder brother, we will be careful."

Song Wu repeatedly assured, then hung up after a moment.

"Great!"

The fifth brother of the Song Family clenched his fist excitedly, "Elder brother will arrive tomorrow, and our family’s elder as well. That Chen kid won’t be able to escape!"

"Not just him, everyone related to third brother’s death, including Shen, won’t escape! We can also take this chance to show others what happens when they offend the Song Family!" The fourth brother had a sinister look on his face.

Song Wu was also anxious, but compared to the other two, he seemed more composed.

He raised his hand, motioning for them to quiet down, "While we have the upper hand, we shouldn’t be careless. Tomorrow, when we face that Chen kid, we need to be fully alert. He defeated third brother easily; beating us might not be too difficult."

The fourth and fifth brothers’ expressions grew serious.

Yes, their cultivation was not as high as third brother’s. If a fight broke out, the odds were at best sixty-forty, with them being the forty.

"Second brother is right. We’ll be careful."

"Yes, it’s getting late. Let’s get some rest."

Song Wu said, his gaze falling on a trembling Jiang Tao.

"Please, spare me."

Jiang Tao pleaded.

Being forced to point out Chen Fan in front of everyone tomorrow was worse than death to him.

"Noisy."

Song Wu took out a familiar white cloth bag and covered Jiang Tao with it. He vanished into thin air.

On the other side, Song Tian slowly put down the phone, exhaling slowly. He originally didn’t want the elders to know, fearing they’d blame him for failing.

It seemed now there was no choice.

A scolding was better than falling out with the Feng Country people.

"By the way,"

He suddenly thought of something and muttered to himself, "I should inform some folks at the Revival Association, have them send people too. It’ll give them a perfect explanation and show our sincerity."
