Suddenly, Second Elder understood. “You… You're deliberately warning everyone?”

Xie Limo clapped and said, “You only realize it now? Not bad. That's right, I am warning everyone that if they wished to die, by all means come.”

He continued, “Of course, I believe none of you wishes to die. So if the headquarters sends someone over, they should be sending people to die here, right?”

Xie Limo then patted Second Elder's face.

The sorrowful Second Elder spat out another mouthful of blood. He only understood what an evil heart Xie Limo had—they were no match for him.

But so what if he understood it now?

Now that he was hanging up here, he was wondering which step he had miscalculated. Where did he go wrong?

Actually, he realized that regardless of his mistake, he was no match for Xie Limo in terms of ruthlessness.

Moreover, Xie Limo's wife was even more ruthless. She was definitely not one to be trifled with.

With these two powerful people joining hands, he dared not imagine what would happen to the headquarters.

Perhaps Xie Limo would really turn it upside down.

“Aren't you afraid of the danger? That you'll be killed or denounced?”

Xie Limo drew out a knife and stabbed it into Second Elder's chest. He said darkly, “You think they'll have a chance to kill me?”

Since Xie Limo was ten, he had been plotting his influences. At that time, he already had plans to fight all the halls.

That was his true trump card. Unless it was a special occasion, he wouldn't use it to deal with the entire headquarters.

After all, once he started dealing with the headquarters, he would have to replace all of them there. It was a ma.s.sive project, and he had to ponder over it some more.

With this stab, Second Elder's blood started gus.h.i.+ng, and he began coughing nonstop…

He hadn't expected that he, the second elder of the Xie family, would one day end up in this state.

Xie Limo continued to gesture with the knife as he spoke, “As the second elder at the headquarters, you have power in your hands and lack nothing. Why are you so dissatisfied and still wish to control me?”

Looking at the blood on his chest, Second Elder started laughing sinisterly. “You know what? In my younger days, I used to have a wife too.”

Xie Limo's expression remained unchanged, still looking coldly at Second Elder.

“Hmph. I served your Xie family with loyalty, but my wife and daughter went missing during a mission—all of you came back, yet they had disappeared.”

“Just because of this? Second Elder, don't tell me you're the kind of person who loves only his family and not power. If that's really the case, you wouldn't have used them as a bait and tried to kill me when I was eight!”

Second Elder's expression changed drastically. “You… How did you know that?”

Xie Limo replied with disdain, “You think you can hide anything from me?”

Second Elder suddenly closed his eyes and said dejectedly, “So you knew everything. Go ahead and kill me!”

“How are you different from being dead? All of your subordinates have to die, but I will keep you alive and let you see what happens to the Elder's Home at the headquarters!”

Xie Limo then waved to the men behind his back, handing this place over to the hidden guards before leaving.

When he got out, the skies had already brightened. The sun had risen halfway into the skies, and the rain had finally stopped after pouring for an entire night.

Xie Limo looked up at the skies and recalled Second Elder mentioning his wife and daughter. He seemed to remember that Second Elder's wife had the surname Qiao!
