Dead silence!

The entire banquet hall seemed frozen in time, everyone's minds went blank, forgetting even to breathe.

"Ah... there's been a murder..."

Then, a shrill scream shattered the silence.

Thud!

The piece of bread pinned to the wall fell to the ground.

The arrow vanished!

After all, it was an arrow formed by condensed Qi blood, not a physical object.

The bread that fell was stained with blood.

...

"There's been a murder!"

"There's an assassin, there's an assassin!"

"Someone help, there's been a murder!"

...

In an instant, chaos erupted throughout the hall, filled with screams and the clattering of tables and chairs.

"Quiet!"

Liu Yizhou raised his eyelids and spoke calmly.

As soon as those words fell, the banquet hall instantly quieted down.

Those words carried a supreme pressure, and the martial artists below the Grandmaster level didn't even dare to breathe.

It seemed as if there was an angry lion before them, ready to tear them apart if they dared to make a sound.

"You..."

Though Fang Guoyu was a Grandmaster, and a Qi and Blood Martial Artist, he still had sufficient vitality.

Even with his throat pierced by an arrow.

He hadn't died immediately.

Fang Guoyu stared in shock at Fang Guande, while his entire body was wracked with pain, and his life force ebbed away like a flood.

A conspiracy!

It was Fang Guande's conspiracy.

No, it was a conspiracy orchestrated by Fang Guande and the Divine Land together.

No wonder Fang Guande was so aggressive and unusually calm, undeterred by Guoyu Group's reprisals.

From the beginning, he had intended to kill me.

Damn it!

Unwilling, I am so unwilling.

I am Fang Guoyu, how could I possibly die in a place like this!

"Uh uh uh... ugh... ah, uh uh..."

Fang Guoyu summoned all his strength to raise his arm, desperately wanting to question and rebuke Fang Guande.

Unfortunately.

With his throat pierced, Fang Guoyu couldn't utter a single complete syllable.

He could only sense the Death God calling to him.

Everyone in the hall was staring at Fang Guoyu, trembling in fear.

This was Fang Guoyu.

The head of Jiangyuan Country's top conglomerate, the president of the Business Association, and a Grandmaster Powerhouse.

He had been assassinated.

"Fang Guoyu, you have forgotten your original intentions, and you have also forgotten what Jiangyuan Country is.

"Jiangyuan Country isn't the kingdom of you, Fang Guoyu, nor is it the kingdom of our Fang Family's royal lineage; it is the country of all its people, the home of all its people!

"You should know that it was Jiangyuan Country that made your Guoyu Group possible, not your Guoyu Group that made this country.

"Do you wish to control the lifeline of Jiangyuan Country?

"I tell you... you, are not qualified!"

Fang Guande looked straight ahead, his gaze unbelievably calm, like the surface of an untroubled lake.

He disdained even a glance at Fang Guoyu's face.

"Uh uh... ah ah..."

Fang Guoyu, having lost all his strength, knelt on the ground, clutching Fang Guande's leg desperately.

Unwilling.

I have grand ambitions, I am the underground emperor of Jiangyuan Country, no one has the right to kill me.

No one!

I... am unwilling!

Thud!

Unfortunately, even if you are unwilling a million times over, you no longer have the right to live.

Fang Guoyu fell to the ground, kicked his legs weakly, and breathed his last.

"Fang Guoyu colluded with the Yangxiang Race, stealing resources from Jiangyuan Country, his crimes are heinous, by law he should be punished, he deserved it!"

Fang Guande kicked away Fang Guoyu's hand, glanced around, and spoke calmly.

Especially the heads of several companies, who were scared stiff.

Fang Guoyu.

So simply killed, is this Fang Guande truly this terrifying?

...

In the distance!

Fang Guoyu's driver was scared out of his wits, nearly fainting on the spot.

Dead!

His boss, who in his mind was akin to a legend, died just like that?

How could this be possible.

The driver, originally embraced by two socialites, found himself alone as everyone kept their distance, avoiding him like the plague.

These socialites weren't stupid.

Clearly, Jiangyuan Country's royal family intended to cleanse the Guoyu Group, to purge Jiangyuan Country's business sector.

Too terrifying.

Jiangyuan Country had a chance to recuperate; the royal family must want change.

Impossible!

This cannot be possible!

The driver shook his head, even pinching himself discreetly.

It hurt.

This wasn't a dream, it was real.

...

Fang Jingmiao stood up, his eyes flashing wildly.

Dead!

This detestable tumor in Jiangyuan Country was killed. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

But that arrow... seemed so familiar.

It was Gong Ling!

Fang Guoyu was a sixth-grade Grandmaster, and the arrow that killed him carried the aura of the Grandmaster Chain.

Though Fang Jingmiao hadn't participated, she was familiar with this aura.

It was Liao Ping and his group.

Why would they kill a tycoon of Jiangyuan Country?

What on earth happened?

Was it a plan with Uncle Royal Fang Guande?

Did Father know?

He must know!

Could it be that Jiangyuan Country intends to reorganize the business sector?

It must be so.

Jiangyuan Country is in need of rejuvenation, these tumors must be eradicated first.

Fang Jingmiao trembled with excitement.

Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang were also stunned.

Mu Cheng's mouth was dry.

It was the aura of the Grandmaster Chain, and the arrow was the work of Gong Ling.

At this moment, Mu Cheng realized, not only Su Yue went to the washroom, all five of them were absent from the banquet hall.

What in the world happened?

To assassinate a foreign tycoon publicly and internationally violates conventions, handling this would be complicated for the Divine Land.

Those foreign envoys would certainly seize this opportunity to condemn vehemently.

...

Clatter!

At this moment, a group of martial artists from the National Guardian Master Team burst in from outside the banquet hall.
