"That… can't be, right?"

A higher-up looked at "Worriless Nie" and said with a frown, "Although the Fearless Alliance is guilty of monstrous crimes and formidable in their own right and it wouldn't be strange if they did such a thing… is the Fearless Alliance really this capable? Forget about Emperor Ji, but the Fearless Alliance can't even defeat Heavenly Owl."

"Sometimes, we're hidden in the dark."

"Worriless Nie" swept her eyes over everyone and explained, "The leader of Heavenly Owl is extremely good friends with President Fearless Bai Feng. It'd be a different story if the two were familiar and Heavenly Owl's leader wasn't on guard against Bai Feng at all."

No one contradicted "Worriless Nie's" words this time. It was indeed very easy to harm an acquaintance since you were meat on the cutting board regardless of how strong you were if you weren't vigilant.

Everyone in this room was aware of the relations.h.i.+p between the Fearless Alliance and Heavenly Owl. It would be very simple for President Fearless to abduct the leader of Heavenly Owl.

"In truth, there were some Heavenly Owl higher-ups who were suspicious, but they didn't have any solid evidence, so it's difficult for them to act," "Worriless Nie" continued.

"It is as you say, but… I'm afraid it isn't so easy to explain Emperor Ji's disappearance." Someone raised their doubts.

Forget about Heavenly Owl, but who was Ji Xiuran? Furthermore, he didn't have any interactions with the Fearless Alliance, so the Fearless Alliance couldn't possibly abduct Emperor Ji from his headquarters regardless of how formidable they were, right?

"This matter… is a bit hard to explain."

A soft sigh was released from "Worriless Nie's" mouth and a helpless expression draped over her face. "As everyone knows, Ji Xiuran is my fiancé. However… some time ago, President Fearless b.u.t.ted into our relations.h.i.+p."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Ji Xiuran and the President of the Fearless Alliance…

"Not too long later, Ji Xiuran disappeared. I'm certain that this was also the Fearless Alliance's doing."

"Worriless Nie" swore vehemently.

"That's right, aside from Emperor Ji, Bai Feng seems to also have an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p with Lord Asura of Asura…"

"It isn't just Lord Asura! There's also Eldest Young Master Shen!"

A smile surfaced in the fake Worriless Nie's eyes as the discussion ran rampant. She continued, "Moreover, not too long ago, Bai Feng used a normal person's ident.i.ty to worm her way into our Nie family and tricked my mother into taking her as a foster daughter, and she's good friends with my elder brother as well. Hence, I suspect that Bai Feng is actually a member of the Direct Line. They want to make a comeback and cause chaos in the Independent State."

The guests all shuddered at the mention of "Direct Line."

Back then, the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch fought ferociously, and the Direct Line swore they'd return stronger one day before being kicked out.

"D*mn, you've watched too many dramas, right?" Nameless Nie glanced at "Worriless Nie."

"Eldest Brother, you've been bewitched by the Fearless Alliance." The fake Worriless Nie's expression didn't change.

Before she could continue, Tangtang suddenly icily stated, "Don't slander my mommy."

Everyone's expressions turned odd. This little young master of the Nie family actually called the President of the Fearless Alliance "Mommy"…

"Tangtang, it's me who's your mommy!" The fake Worriless Nie frowned deeply at Tangtang.

"My mommy shouldn't be someone like you," Tangtang coldly retorted.

"Worriless Nie's" expression instantly became troubled, and she looked at everyone. "I believe everyone can see for yourself that our Nie family has also been affected by the Fearless Alliance. Even my own son recognizes the President of the Fearless Alliance but treats me, his biological mother, so vilely."
