CHAPTER 296: CHAPTER 296: WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY!

Ever since the Star-picking Tower adopted a suicidal stance, forcing the three major nations to compromise, such an organization of assassins openly existed in every major city of the three nations.

However, not many people knew the truth that the Star-picking Tower was an assassin organization.

After all, ordinary people couldn’t afford to hire assassins from the Star-picking Tower.

Moreover, the three nations had an agreement with the Tower that they couldn’t publicly reveal their identity as an assassin organization. Otherwise, the three nations would spare no effort to destroy the Tower.

But now, Wei Wushang led a group of people, surrounded the Star-picking Tower, and set it ablaze directly.

Assassins who had not yet left the Tower were either shot dead during their escape or simply perished in the fire.

Zuo Zhikang, the city defender of Yunyang City, was dumbfounded upon receiving the news.

Hurriedly, he began writing a memorial, intending to inform the court of the situation here.

In the end, before he could finish his memorial, the imperial decree arrived, ordering the eradication of the Star-picking Tower.

Seeing this decree, Zuo Zhikang was truly relieved.

With the Star-picking Tower in Yunyang City already wiped out by the Wei Family, he, as the city defender, was extricated from the situation.

In this case, even if the Star-picking Tower sought revenge, it would only target the Wei Family, not a minor city defender like him.

Of course, to avoid offending the Wei Family, Zuo Zhikang still had to make a trip to the site.

Aside from that, upon returning home, he had to arrange for more patrols by the guards and take extra precautions while sleeping at night. After all, the Star-picking Tower’s retaliation might not be reasonable.

The former Star-picking Tower brought the three nations to their knees through unreasonable mass killings.

Now, Daxia alone had declared war on the Star-picking Tower. Once the Tower’s higher-ups reacted, they would surely launch the fiercest retaliation against Daxia.

Zuo Zhikang didn’t want to sleep one night and never wake up again.

"Cousin, you’re really reliable!"

Although the Fourteenth Prince knew the Emperor Xia’s decree, Wei Wushang had taken action against the Star-picking Tower even before the decree arrived. Just for this, the Fourteenth Prince felt indebted to Wei Wushang.

"Then listen to me and stay away from Miss Sheng!"

Wei Wushang gave the Fourteenth Prince a sideways glance without much warmth.

The Fourteenth Prince responded with an awkward smile, saying, "Well, Cousin, let me put it this way, I suspect the reason I’m on the Star-picking Tower’s bounty list might be related to that woman!"

"And you still plan to cozy up to her?"

Wei Wushang looked at the Fourteenth Prince, feeling this cousin was simply hopeless.

"I’m lacking evidence, you know?"

"As the old saying goes, how can you catch the tiger cub without entering the tiger’s lair?"

"I’m feeding myself to the tiger, entering the lair, to gather evidence. Then I can lawfully deal with this woman!"

The Fourteenth Prince said in all seriousness.

Wei Wushang snorted coldly at this, saying, "As long as you’re happy!"

In fact, Wei Wushang also believed the Fourteenth Prince being targeted was likely related to Sheng Xueyi. After all, the bounty appeared a tad too coincidental.

Unfortunately, as the Fourteenth Prince mentioned, they had no evidence.

So the question arises, given their status, do they need evidence to deal with a minor woman like Sheng Xueyi?

Alright, even if they do need evidence!

But is it difficult for them to fabricate some evidence?

To put it bluntly, the Fourteenth Prince is just completely infatuated!
