Under the night sky, Old Master Si stood at the courtyard gate with his cane, his eyes dark and brooding.

The Si Family was facing the greatest crisis in nearly a century, and that was the fallout with the Jiang Family, the foremost clan in the Dark World. This incident led to severe impacts on their global enterprises, and even within the family, different opinions emerged. Several meetings were held, protesting against this marriage alliance.

Such as the parents of Si Xingye's alias, as well as cousins and uncles.

Fortunately, Old Master Si was a crafty old fox, wielding absolute control over the family, suppressing internal discord by stressing the need for unity against external threats.

Against the Jiang Family, they had to go all out, quickly preparing various means to handle the impending crisis.

But no one expected the opposition to arrive so swiftly.

"Father dear."

Si Chengye led his subordinates to surround the gate, speaking in a low voice, "I heard the Judges are here. No one knows what this group will do. Do we really need to protect Si Xingye?"

But he received no response.

For the elder in front of him had a face as unyielding as iron, showing no signs of wavering.

As one of the Six Major Families, the strength of the Si Family itself was not particularly formidable. Most of the family members were in support roles. A direct lineage member who once joined Dusk was killed five years ago. They had not been devoured due to the scarcity of Divination Masters, making them valuable.

Furthermore, they were founding members of the You Ying Group.

The Jiang Family had always supported them.

If this relationship were to break, it would spell doom.

Snap.

Bright headlights turned on, illuminating the dust suspended in the night and cherry blossoms drifting in the wind.

The people stepping out from the convoy were Priests draped in red sacrificial robes, wearing tall veils atop their heads, their long robes adorned with golden patterns covering their bodies, faces obscured as they lowered their heads.

A man in a black trench coat sat on the hood of a Lamborghini, his face scarred menacingly, a lit cigar in his mouth, smoke billowing into the night.

His physique was exceedingly burly, like it was cast in iron.

A black-haired woman, smiling, sat inside the car, her features exquisite and alluring. The white tank top couldn't contain her full chest, below which her shapely thighs and high boots were revealed by her hot pants.

"Black Judge, White Judge."

Old Master Si coldly said, "Long time no see."

"Apologies for the unsolicited visit without prior notice."

White Judge smiled bewitchingly, "As an esteemed elder, you ought to know the rules."

Black Judge's face was impassive as he said indifferently, "By order, we are investigating. Please cooperate."

Upon these words, the expressions of the Si family's subordinates changed dramatically.

Especially the two sons of Old Master Si, Si Chengye and Si Chengze, both elites in the Dark World.

They naturally had heard of the Judges' notorious reputation.

The so-called unsolicited visit was nonsense.

This group was clearly here for a surprise inspection.

Old Master Si broke out in cold sweat behind his back, yet outwardly remained stern and aloof, calmly saying, "I'm not aware that the Si Family has committed any crime warranting such a late-night raid by the Judges."

His right hand played with a copper coin behind his back, divining for fortune and misfortune.

"The old master should be well aware that the young lady has been missing for a long time, with no leads so far."

Black Judge said coldly, "We suspect the Order of the Hidden is behind this."

White Judge pulled out a document from a file bag, stepped out of the car, and slapped it on the hood, with a seemingly amused smile, "Your nephew, Si Wei'an, the former director of the Si Family, had contacts with the Order of the Hidden. Sticking with the principle of better safe than sorry, the Si Family is currently within our scope of suspicion."

After a moment of silence, Old Master Si said calmly, "We weren't the only ones cooperating with the Order of the Hidden."

Black Judge raised a finger, and those red-robed Priests quietly surrounded the entire courtyard.

"We know, which is why we will investigate every family."

White Judge smiled faintly, "As I understand, on the night the young lady appeared, you rushed overnight to Ying Province Yokohama, taking your nephew, Si Xingye, away. We are very curious why your nephew was there? Was it a coincidence, or is there an unspeakable secret? And our divination's result is... fog!"

In the fields of divination and deduction, the word fog symbolizes hidden secrets.

Even though Old Master Si tried to obscure the truth with his own abilities, he didn't expect to be divined nonetheless.

The old man coldly asked, "What do you intend to do?"

White Judge tilted her head, her eyes gleaming an eerie crimson, smiling silently.

This was a Holy Land Level Magician!

"Memory reading."

Black Judge said indifferently, "Those who resist will die."

Silently, as cherry blossoms fell to the ground, the aura of murderous intent was suffocating.

"Xingye's rank isn't high enough. If you forcibly extract his memory, you'll ruin him!"

Old Master Si's expression changed slightly, "Aren't you going too far?"

White Judge's smile grew even more intense, clearly a beautiful woman, yet terrifying like a vengeful spirit.

"We never said we were reading Si Xingye's memory."

Black Judge's lips curled with an eerie smile, "It's your memory we want to read!"

Old Master Si was shocked with dread.
