CHAPTER 290: THE IMPERFECT HEIR

"Tianyu is also anti-human, but after all, he lacks experience. Moreover, Tianyu has one major flaw. Big Cousin is the kind of perfectly anti-human type, without a single weakness, even marrying an anti-human wife. However, Tianyu is different in one aspect; he’s very..." Mo Xiaobai coughed a few times, looking at Mo Chen. Mo Yao frowned. What weakness did Tianyu have? From observations, he was just like Ye Ningyuan, with no obvious weaknesses.

Wen Nuan remembered Ye Tianyu, a quiet, seemingly well-behaved boy. Was he also a master of disguise?

Mo Chen gave a strange smile. "Do you know that Tianyu was pursued and targeted for half a year in the Middle East and Southeast Asia? He was assassinated almost everywhere he went, so frequently that it gave Big Cousin a headache. Do you know why?"

Ye Feimo shook his head. Ye Tianyu had never mentioned this, nor had his sister-in-law. His brother certainly wouldn’t bring up such matters.

"Tianyu is too ruthless and doesn’t know how to adapt. Half a year ago, he first went to the Middle East to manage light weapons transactions. The business was indeed handled meticulously. However, he burned down the entire poppy field of the Rivaslu family and completely reorganized all drug markets in the Middle East. That kid declared that no drugs were allowed to be sold in his territory, with no mercy. As a result, he not only infuriated the Rivaslu family but also provoked all the major drug lords in the Middle East. So, whenever that kid is in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, he gets chased by drug lords. They’ve also put out the word: ’In our territory, we’ll kill you every time we see you.’ So, it became a standoff. Big Cousin openly stated that this kid had nothing to do with the First Terrorist Organization, and they could kill him as much as they wanted. It was the best opportunity for him to gain experience, so not a single person was sent to help him."

Mo Wushuang chuckled, interjecting, "Tianyu is indeed much more ruthless than Big Cousin, but his way of handling problems is too extreme and easily exploited."

"Oh my, that’s too cruel! Tianyu is still a child," Wen Nuan exclaimed. And such a seemingly smart and well-behaved child at that. How could they bear to watch him be pursued and targeted?

"Little Cousin-in-law, generally speaking, as long as Tianyu doesn’t encounter another anti-human, he’s virtually out of danger. People like Big Cousin and Big Cousin-in-law are almost nonexistent and can be ignored," Mo Xiaobai said.

Moreover, Ye Ningyuan wouldn’t truly put his son in danger. He primarily wanted Ye Tianyu to understand what a food chain was.

Drugs, arms, and all black-market transactions flourished in the Middle East, blooming in contention and interdependence. No one could be missing. If you destroyed one drug family, you couldn’t destroy a second. Once the food chain was broken, whoever broke it, all the creatures relying on that food chain would retaliate. The consequences would be unimaginable.

Ye Tianyu had undergone strict training and would know this principle, yet he had an intense hatred for drugs that no one understood.

"He’ll learn his lesson after a few times," Ye Feimo said, suddenly smiling mysteriously. "You guys keep thinking Tianyu will take over, but how could my brother not have thought of this? To tell you the truth, the next in line is Kaka."

Mo Xiaobai’s face fell, and Mo Chen’s lips twitched...

Ye Feimo was satisfied.

Mo Yao showed no emotion, and Mo Wushuang didn’t care either. Mo Wushuang thought Kaka taking over was better than Tianyu. Although they grew up together and knew each other inside out, sometimes familiar people were easier to work with.

"I hate that fox," Mo Xiaobai flopped onto the sofa. He hated any creature close to his little cousin.

The lucrative North American market was gone again.

Wen Nuan thought, "Kaka is that man whose online name is ’Kaka is a Fox,’ right? He seems like a formidable character. Mo Xiaobai and Mo Chen both seem quite afraid of him."

Mo Xiaobai said boredly, "Little Cousin, I thought you’d end up with Kaka when you grew up. You two were so close, a pair of illicit lovers, working hand in glove. But luckily you abandoned Kaka, otherwise, with two foxes together, we’d be even more doomed."

When they were young, they saw Kaka and Feimo kissing by the sea. What an exciting scene! They had initially thought those two really clicked and were loving and scheming together as they grew up. Who knew Little Cousin suddenly announced he had a girlfriend? They found it thunderous. In the minds of young Mo Xiaobai and the others, Ye Feimo and Kaka being together was normal, but being with a woman was not.

Such a foxy pair, and it just ended like that. It was a pity, but it benefited humanity.

Mo Xiaobai scoffed, probably understanding why this group of people had always misunderstood him and Kaka. Perspective was indeed a very serious issue, causing such misunderstandings. He and Kaka had been seen as a couple since childhood, and both were puzzled. Later, when Xiaobai let slip, they finally understood why. They simply didn’t explain, letting them misunderstand freely until he started dating Han Bi, and the adults finally realized the truth.

Wen Nuan gazed at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling. "Isn’t this Kaka a man? Could it be a woman? Wasn’t Ye Feimo’s ex-girlfriend Han Bi? How did another Kaka suddenly appear?"

"Is Kaka a woman?"

"Don’t listen to Xiaobai’s nonsense; they love to fool around. Kaka is a man," Ye Feimo said. Wen Nuan then relaxed. It was good that it wasn’t a woman. He sounded like a very formidable person. If it were a woman, the level of rival would be too high; she feared she couldn’t handle it.

Someone like Han Bi, she could handle.

But someone like Mo Wushuang, she couldn’t.

However... Wen Nuan squinted at Ye Feimo. "Are men really that safe?"

Mo Xiaobai, seeing Wen Nuan’s blatant expression, collapsed on the sofa, laughing his stomach sore. Ye Feimo roared, "What kind of look is that?"

Wen Nuan smiled slightly. "I’m just making a reasonable conjecture."

"Little Cousin-in-law, you’re killing me with laughter!"

"Little Cousin-in-law, Little Cousin and Kaka were misunderstood for many years," Mo Chen said. "They were so devious when they were young, specializing in bullying people. It’s such a pity they didn’t end up together."

"That’s because you were too stupid, running naked three at a time during mahjong games. Whose fault is that?" Mo Wushuang said coolly. She was the smartest. That year, she even bet thirty cents that Ye Feimo wouldn’t run naked, and she won.

Mo Yao looked up and squinted at Wushuang, his chilly gaze like ice arrows. Wushuang spread her hands, indicating her innocence. She still had their naked photos on her phone, albeit childhood ones.

Mo Xiaobai’s naked photos were now worth a fortune; buying them from any magazine would cost a sky-high price.

"Can you blame us? Little Cousin was too cunning, right?" Mo Chen said. Mo Xiaobai suddenly thought of something and quickly covered Mo Chen’s mouth. "It’s over, it’s over, we’re dead, Little Cousin-in-law."
