Chapter 969: You’re Not Worthy (3)

Shen Yanxiao shot him a glance before she leisurely returned to her chair and sat down. She propped her chin and looked at the man who did not panic in the slightest.

“Save your saliva and answer whatever I ask. If there’s anything that isn’t true, I will cut off your finger bit by bit.”

The young man shrugged his shoulders. He could not help but look at Lan Fengli who had a cold expression.

“No wonder Shen Jiayi could not find No.2 no matter how hard she tried. So it turns out, you’ve disguised yourself. It seems like our hunch is correct. As expected, No.2 is in your hands.”

Shen Yanxiao frowned. It seemed like Lan Fengli had exposed his ident.i.ty, but she did not intend to leave him alive.

“So what if I am? Can you still take him away?” Shen Yanxiao smiled.

The man said, “It seems like he listens to you now. Did you alter his memories? It can’t be… you’re not No.2’s opponent. Interesting.”

Of course, Shen Yanxiao was not Lan Fengli’s opponent, but he had been smashed by the Vermilion Bird!

“Are you done?” Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes as she looked at the fearless man.

“Ha, I’m done. I don’t think you’ll let me go. In any case, I’m dead. What do you want to know? I might tell you if I’m in a good mood,” the man smiled and said.

“You’re really easy to talk to.” Shen Yanxiao was slightly surprised.

However, the man said, “You have No.2, and I am not his opponent. You helped No.2 disguise himself to avoid our investigation. Now that I have discovered him, you will not let me live.” Since he knew that he was doomed, why should he beg for mercy?

Moreover, Shen Yanxiao was already so ruthless to Shen Jiayi—there was no need to mention what he would do to an outsider like him.

“You’re smart.”

“You’re too kind, City Lord. You’re the smart one. You know that it won’t be a problem if you order No.2 to capture me. No matter how strong I am, I can’t beat No.2.”

Shen Yanxiao exchanged a few words with the man before she immediately changed the topic.

“Why did you let Shen Jiayi enter Sun Never Sets but not search for him yourself?” Shen Yanxiao could more or less guess the answers to her other questions, but she could not figure out why they didn’t look for him themselves. Reasonably speaking, they should have a lot of power in their hands. Since they had already guessed that Lan Fengli was in Sun Never Sets, why did they have to go through so much trouble to send Shen Jiayi in instead of forcing their way in?

What were they worried about?

The man said, “You are also a Warlock. Don’t you know how the people of the Brilliance Continent treat Warlocks? If we were to openly break in, wouldn’t we expose ourselves? Shen Yanxiao, you are lucky. In this era, people are not as ruthless as before. Do you know what kind of days we lived in the past? Do you know how many of our comrades died tragically under the armored horses of the four countries?” The man’s tone was somewhat excited.

“You cannot reveal your ident.i.ties? If that is the case, why are you still continuing with your research? It seems like you are not satisfied with living peacefully. Yes, you are probably waiting for an opportunity. Once you have mustered enough strength, you will then retaliate against the entire continent.” Shen Yanxiao was smart and immediately understood their concerns!

They were still not strong enough. If they were to surface on the continent now, they would only suffer from the same disaster.
