CHAPTER 1640: CHAPTER 1641: TREATING HUMAN LIVES AS A GAME?

"Truly, stubborn and ignorant!"

Xiao Chen looked at Frank coldly and said, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak; I’ll find out sooner or later. But since you sent someone to deal with my wife, you deserve to die!"

The terrifying killing intent sent Frank into a panic.

He was truly scared!

Before this, he never thought someone would dare to treat him like this.

To target someone from the Langpu Family.

Xiao Chen was just the live-in son-in-law of the Xinmeng Group.

Even the Xinmeng Group couldn’t compare to the Langpu Family.

Like fireflies competing with the blazing sun, utterly laughable!

But now, Xiao Chen was saying he would kill him, not taking the Langpu Family seriously at all.

"No! Don’t kill me!"

Frank shouted in terror: "You know, I’m a member of the Langpu Family, my father is a baron of the Quanhai Empire!

If you mess with me, ah—!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Chen slapped him again.

Frank’s face was almost completely deformed.

It looked extremely twisted.

"Hong Yi, I’ll leave him to you. I don’t care about anything else, just extract everything about the Hades Association from him.

Everything he knows."

Xiao Chen stood up.

He had vented enough.

What he needed was intelligence.

What Langpu Family, he didn’t care, even if it was the Heavenly King, if dared to hurt his woman, he’d take their life!

The King of Hades won’t do!

The Demon King won’t do!

No one will do!

Xiao Chen left and returned to the district.

Jiang Meng was still sound asleep.

He made a call to Jun Moxie, far away in the Capital City: "Listen, you and Huang Tian together, mobilize all the power of the Imperial Clan and the Jun Family. I want to completely wipe out the Hades Association.

Any news, inform me immediately. If you can handle it yourself, just deal with it.

Leng Yue will fully support you!"

"Understood!"

Jun Moxie nodded his head.

After hanging up the phone, feeling it wasn’t enough, Xiao Chen called the Judge: "Use all the power of the Yama Hall to identify the people of the Hades Association.

I want to make it impossible for the Hades Association to stay in the Dragon Country!"

"What happened?"

The Judge was somewhat curious.

"Nothing, just some people I’ve taken a dislike to."

Xiao Chen’s voice was icy cold and murderous.

The Hades Association’s exhausting attempts to assassinate his wife had thoroughly infuriated him.

"Understood!"

The Judge asked no further and hung up the call.

Xiao Chen then called Uncle Zhong: "Give the order to the Xiao Alliance to search for the trace of the Hades Association worldwide. Also, investigate the Langpu Family for me.

I want to see what relationship they have with the Hades Association!"

"Master, aren’t you afraid of falling into the King of Hades’ trap by making such a big move?"

Uncle Zhong paused for a moment before speaking.

Only he dared to speak to Xiao Chen this way.

"Of course, I have to enter his trap. How else can I break his trap without entering it!"

Xiao Chen said coldly: "As for this chess game, it is yet to be determined whose hand will control it in the end. I want to see what kind of trap he’s setting for me."

"As long as you understand what you’re doing, this old servant won’t say more."

Uncle Zhong knew Xiao Chen well; he would never fight a battle without preparation.

Daring to enter this trap meant he had the capability.

"Besides, his trap is also my trap. Let’s see who ensnares whom."

Xiao Chen chuckled coldly.

In this game of chess, whoever has stronger control will win!

It must be said, the King of Hades is a worthy opponent.

In terms of strength, they are evenly matched.

In terms of wisdom, they are also hard to separate.

An opponent like this is hard to deal with.

Often, there are fewer fights, and more mental battles.

There cannot be the slightest negligence or complacency.

At that moment, at the headquarters of the Xiao Family in Longcheng.

Frank lay limp on the ground like a pool of mud.

The air he took in was less than the air he breathed out.

Hong Yi dialed Xiao Chen’s phone: "Boss, this guy might truly know nothing; he confessed to all those dirty deeds he did.

But when it comes to the Hades Association, he can’t say a word.

He seems like he doesn’t even know what the Hades Association is."

Xiao Chen nodded.

He believed in the methods of Hong Yi and Ziyi, as they hailed from the Assassin’s Family; they were capable of making someone like Frank, a wimp, spill anything.

If he didn’t spill, it could only mean that Frank simply wasn’t qualified to know.

His status wasn’t at that level.

"Is it a coincidence? Or is the King of Hades intentionally leading me against the Langpu Family?"

Xiao Chen fell into deep thought.

The King of Hades’ thinking was somewhat incomprehensible.

What on earth was that old guy up to?

In the past, he always believed the King of Hades was driven by his enormous ambition.

But now it seemed that the actions of the King of Hades had a deeper purpose.

Even the Nine Scrolls of the Mo Sect were just a smokescreen.

Xiao Chen had suspected this before.

Though the Nine Scrolls of the Mo Sect were made of a special material, thousands of years of history had left them undamaged.

It’s quite intriguing.

He had once tested it with carbon-14.

Confirmed that the material was indeed from the era of the Hundred Schools of Thought in pre-Qin times.

However, while the material might be so, the writings may not be.

King of Hades, what exactly are you scheming?

One day, I will find out.

No matter the reason, since you dare to attempt to assassinate my wife, I promise you a burial of no corpse!

His eyes flashed with a ruthless intent.

"Boss, should we slaughter Frank?"

On the other end of the line, Hong Yi asked.

"No rush, we should extract all his remaining value first."

Xiao Chen said calmly: "Heal him first; don’t let him die. It’s getting late; you all get some rest too."

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen sat alone in the living room, lost in thought.

The past events flashed through his mind.

He had a strange feeling that the Hades Association seemed to have an inseparable connection to him from the very beginning.

"King of Hades, who exactly are you?"

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth.

Perhaps the only one who’s seen the true face of the King of Hades is his master.

Thinking of this, regardless of it being past midnight, he dialed the phone directly.

The old guy had once fought the King of Hades.

Though he was defeated, it seemed the King of Hades was also injured.

"Old man, what’s the deal with the Nine Scrolls of the Mo Sect? Who is the real identity of the King of Hades?"

Xiao Chen asked directly.

"You brat, calling so late at night without even a proper greeting,"

On the other end of the line, an aged voice chuckled and scolded: "Sigh, I knew this day would come. You’re asking me what the deal with the Nine Scrolls of the Mo Sect is.

I don’t know!

All I know is that it has appeared throughout the dynasties.

Each appearance has caused a bloody storm!

It’s a cruel game!

Whoever obtains the Nine Scrolls of the Mo Sect can meet the person behind the scenes.

Meeting him can fulfill their dreams!"

"A game, eh?"

Xiao Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile; using human lives as a game, truly despicable.

"I don’t care about games or no games. Is the King of Hades the person behind it, or just a participant in the game?"

Xiao Chen asked again.

"Him, he’s stronger than all of you. Though he’s a participant in the game, he’s also one of its creators.

So, he might know the true secret of the Nine Scrolls of the Mo Sect.

That’s why he has been seeking the Nine Scrolls from the very start."
