CHAPTER 658: CHAPTER 526: FACE-TO-FACE SHOWDOWN, THE TRUTH REVEALED

"Everyone listen, this kid claims he’s Yan Jiu. Haha, this truly is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life. The City Lord of the Underworld Yama Palace, would come to Mercenary City, to be a mercenary? If I were you, I’d just keep my mouth shut and hand her over." Jiao Chong was stunned for a moment, then burst into a fit of laughter.

Soon, Jiao Chong realized, he was the only one laughing.

Even Alliance Hierarch Song had an ugly expression on his face.

At this moment, Alliance Leader Song really wanted Jiao Chong to shut his beak.

"Jiao Chong, it’s you who should shut up. I can testify about the incident at Shangyue Building, it was the people from Gluttonous Wolf Mercenary Group who provoked first, and it was also me who broke your brother’s hand." Dao Ge stepped forward.

"Dao Ge, how did you end up looking like this, where’s Jingyun, didn’t she go to find you?" Hearing this, Alliance Leader Song immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

He was also a cunning old fox, how could he not see that Gluttonous Wolf’s men were framing Lan Cai’er.

Earlier, he had only seen from his daughter’s words, mention of something fishy between Lan Cai’er and Dao Ge. For his daughter’s sake, he had decided to turn a blind eye and settle this matter.

Who would have known that this would stir up the two great Buddhas from the Underworld Yama Palace.

"Uncle Song, about Jingyun... Uncle Song, I have something to tell you, I want to break off my engagement with Jingyun." Dao Ge looked at Lan Cai’er and spoke solemnly.

Lan Cai’er, due to the incident last night, still felt a bit annoyed when she saw Dao Ge.

But after hearing Dao Ge wanted to break off the engagement with Jingyun, she was stunned.

Dao Ge, in front of so many people, proposed to break off the engagement, immediately causing an uproar among the crowd.

Alliance Leader Song’s face also turned considerably uglier.

"Dao Ge, what do you mean by this? Are you breaking off the engagement because of her?" Alliance Leader Song’s face turned ashen as he pointed at Lan Cai’er and questioned.

"Uncle Song, this has nothing to do with anyone. I will personally apologize to Uncle Song and Jingyun for calling off the engagement," Dao Ge said in a muffled voice.

"Father, don’t listen to him. It’s that slut Lan Cai’er who seduced Dao Ge, twisting the facts, helping her get away. It was Lan Cai’er who killed the person, not only that, this woman even went to bed with Yan Jiu, having him do her bidding. Song Cheng and those few missing female mercenaries were killed by Yan Jiu. He also killed many people from our Mercenary Alliance." Jingyun marched in and barked fiercely.

"Is this really true? Yan Jiu, you’ve got some nerve. Do you really think that we, Mercenary City, are afraid of your Underworld Yama Palace!"

Seeing the appearance of his beloved daughter, then looking at Dao Ge defending Lan Cai’er, Alliance Leader Song grew extremely irate.

"Jingyun, what on earth are you talking about? I know you’re angry that I broke off our engagement, but this has nothing to do with Lan Cai’er. I like her... but it’s just unrequited love," Dao Ge said painfully.

Lan Cai’er was shocked again.

Dao Ge said he liked her?

Also, Yan Jiu killed those female mercenaries?

Those female mercenaries were clearly killed by her, and what’s up with that Song Cheng?

Lan Cai’er was utterly confused.

"Yan Jiu, are you hiding something from me?"

She tugged at Yan Jiu’s clothing and asked softly, while he tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Good girl, after I take care of these flies, I’ll come back to our room and explain everything to you slowly tonight."

Lan Cai’er sensed the ambiguous undertone in his words. Despite being in front of everyone, it was not appropriate to make a scene, so she could only tightly pinch his waist.

"Indeed, it was I who killed them, but as for why I had to kill, that should be a question for Miss Song," Yan Jiu snorted, with a tone that surprisingly contained a touch of pleasure.

As soon as he finished speaking, several Yan Yi Envoys descended from the sky, capturing Xia Family’s Three Sisters in the process.

"Alliance Hierarch, Miss Song, save us, I didn’t do anything. I just told Miss Song about Dao Ge and Lan Cai’er meeting secretly," Xia Meng had encountered these Yan Yi Envoys while she was out on a mission, and she had only just realized that Evil was Yan Jiu.

Good heavens, she had offended a member of the Underworld Yama Palace.

"Xia Meng, you’d better think clearly before you speak," Song Jingyun glared fiercely at Xia Meng.

Xia Meng was so frightened that she immediately fell silent.

"Xia Meng, you truly need to think carefully before you speak, otherwise, no good end will await your two younger sisters."

At a glance from Yan Jiu, one of the Yan Yi Envoys swiftly drew his knife and cut off Xia Qing’s ear.

Xia Qing shrieked miserably, and Xia Meng was chilled to the bone with fear.

"Yan Jiu, you are too bullying!" Alliance Leader Song was very upset; although he avoided the power of Underworld Yama Palace, Yan Jiu blatantly committing such an act right under his nose was indeed a slap in his face.

"Alliance Leader Song, I respectfully address you as the Alliance Leader only because even a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone me. You probably understand better than I do how you became the leader of the Mercenary Alliance."

Yan Jiu chuckled coldly, causing Alliance Leader Song to stiffen.

The Underworld Yama Palace has intelligence organizations in every country.

They hold a massive amount of leverage over the actions of other organization’s powers.

These leverages, if exposed, would shake the entire mainland thrice over.

Alliance Leader Song had, in his ambition to become the Hierarch, harmed his own brothers from the same Mercenary Group and their descendants, stole his brother’s wife as his concubine, and drove the man to madness.

He had always thought these actions were unnoticed by gods and ghosts, unexpectedly, the Underworld Yama Palace was well aware of all these deeds.

Alliance Leader Song’s face twisted oddly as he wanted to lash out but dared not to.

During his hesitance, Xia Meng had been terrified by her sister’s tragic condition.

Her body trembled like a sieve.

"I’ll talk, I’ll tell everything. I told Miss Song about Lan Cai’er flirting with Dao Ge, and she pretended not to care on the surface, but behind the scenes, she encouraged me to go to Mercenary City and find trouble for Lan Cai’er with Yan Jiu’s admirers. Those women, under the instructions of Mercenary Alliance’s Song Cheng, set up a trap on the way intending to harm Lan Cai’er, but she spotted it and instead they fell into their own trap and died," Xia Meng only knew the truth after returning to Mercenary City and realized she had been used by Song Jingyun as a pawn.

"Xia Meng, you’re slandering me, I did not instruct Song Cheng." Song Jingyun saw her scheme being exposed and looked at Dao Ge, who was staring at her with disbelief.

She was furious and frustrated, and stepped forward to discipline Xia Meng.

Several Yan Yi Envoys stepped forward, blocking Song Jingyun’s path.

"It seems Miss Song is still reluctant to admit it, so Yan will give you another big gift, making denial impossible for you anymore," Yan Jiu said, waving his hand as a man was brought in by several Yan Yi Envoys.

That person was none other than Song Cheng, who had long been thought to be "dead."
