Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1098 1098: Hunt Down the Pillar Persons and Elders of the Hong Clan

When reaching the bedroom of the young man's favorite female servant, Zheng-Fu did the same as the young man always did. But before he had an affair with the young woman, he made her unconscious.

Once the preparation of evidence was completed, Zheng-Fu then activated the sealing portable tactical formation to seal the room, preventing anyone from entering. Before he left the room through the window with a disguise skill. As soon as he went outside, he immediately headed toward his first target. That was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He was one of the Hong Clan's pillar persons who was responsible for arranging supplies for the clan, including hunting monster beasts.

But his main duty was not only that. He was also the chief of the bandit group that the Hong Clan formed to rob merchants and villagers. Therefore, Zheng-Fu made this man his first target.

In the room of the middle-aged man with a scar on his face...

"It was because of those Wu Clan bastards that I had to come back now. I'm about to start a wealthy business. If these things hadn't happened, I would have already possessed it all, whether it was money or a large amount of medicine!" The middle-aged man muttered to himself in dissatisfaction. Before the incident, he was out robbing and came across a large merchant caravan. He estimated that the caravan must have been loaded with a lot of money and treasure. But he had to miss out on getting those things because something happened at the clan first.

"Never mind! At least before I came back, I got a lot of things. The clan doesn't have time to investigate when something like this happens. It's considered good fortune in misfortune!" However, the middle-aged man soon smiled because he had secretly taken some of the items for himself. The terrible events that happened gave the clan no time to inspect the items before he sold them away.

"Yes, it's good fortune in misfortune. But it's my good fortune and your misfortune!"

Who's...that...!

Slash!

Augh!!!

But suddenly, behind him, the figure of a young man appeared without the middle-aged man even realizing it. Then the sharp dagger in the young man's hand suddenly pierced through the middle-aged man's neck as he finished speaking.

"I'm Grim Reaper, who will drag bastards like you to hell!" Zheng-Fu stared at the middle-aged man struggling to survive with cold eyes. He used the stamp skill on the middle-aged man to bring out some of his memories before letting him die.

"One finished! Then, it's the next person!"

Whoosh!!!

Four hours passed...

Enemy!

The enemy is invading!

The guards within Hong Clan Manor shouted in startle. They saw a black shadow pass by them after they went to one of the pillar elders. And when they regained their senses, they saw that the elder was lying on the ground in a pool of blood. So, they immediately shouted to alert the entire clan.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

"What happened? Where is the enemy?"

Suddenly, several figures appeared in front of the guard unit. One of them was the former clan leader, and he asked with a very serious expression.

"We saw an enemy rush out of the Thirteenth Elder's room, sir. But the enemy's speed was too fast for us to keep up with, so we didn't know where he had gone. Everyone rushed to the Thirteen Elder's room, and we found out that he had already been killed!" The head of the guard unit who had encountered the assassination incident immediately explained to the former clan leader with a shocked and worried expression.

"Hurry up! Hurry and check out the other pillar persons!" Hearing this, the former clan leader immediately ordered. His face turned pale as he felt a bad omen coming to his clan.

Yes, sir!!!

As for Zheng-Fu, who had committed the crime, he had already returned to the maid's bedroom. He quickly took off all of his clothes, including the clothes of the young woman who was passed out on the bed. Because if he did not take off his clothes, then it would become suspicious.

Sigh!!

Oh, such a fair skin!!

Zheng-Fu's heart fluttered when he saw the maid's charming body. Although her face was not very beautiful, her body had a prominent frame. Especially her breasts, which bounced back and forth with the movement as Zheng-Fu took off her clothes.

"Calm down, young man! We're here because we have to do important work. We're not here to do anything like that. Calm down!" Zheng-Fu tried to suppress his emotions like crazy. Because he had not had that for a long time. Therefore, it was normal for him to feel some desire. But because he could not do that to this maid, he had to try not to think and not look at her again.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Young Master Hong-Bai-Chen, are you inside!"

Suddenly, a knock on the door and an anxious shout sounded from the front of the room. And it was a great help to keep Zheng-Fu from going crazy with his thoughts and emotions. Zheng-Fu was very grateful to the person who came to call Hong-Bai-Chen.

"What's up?! What happened to make you hinder my happiness?!" Zheng-Fu did not immediately get up to open the door. He shouted back according to Hong-Bai-Chen's personality. Because if he did not behave like that, he might be suspicious.

"There's been a serious incident outside, sir. Many of our elders and pillar persons have been assassinated in the past few hours. So, Former Clan Leader has ordered everyone who survived to immediately gather in the main hall, sir, Young Master!"

Hah!

"Really? All right! Then wait for me. I have to put on my clothes first!" Zheng-Fu pretended to sound shocked when he heard what had happened, before rushing to dress up as the Hong Clan's second young master.

At the Hong Clan's main hall...

Soon after the assassination occurred and the number of people killed was known, the former clan leader immediately summoned all the remaining survivors to gather in the main hall. All the people who had not yet been killed were people who did not hold high positions or important roles in the clan. Only the two young men who were the hope of the clan were the remaining important persons.

"Why did something like this happen? Who dares to do such a vile thing?!"

"You ask me, who am I going to ask? I don't know either. Before, I was only in my room!"

"Father and Uncle, I swear to kill that murderer to avenge you all!"

Mmm-hmm! Mmm-hmm! Mmm-hmm!

Criticisms and cries echoed throughout the main hall. Because many people had lost loved ones. That incident caused the atmosphere within Hong Clan Manor to become completely gloomy and depressed. It was as if that manor were the graveyard.

Shut up!

"Keep your sorrows away! Everyone here has lost someone they love," shouted the former clan leader, who had been silent for a long time, ordering everyone to be quiet. Because the more time passed, the more everyone in the clan became demoralized and discouraged.

"Grandpa, I think the situation is getting bad. If this continued, that murderer would definitely kill everyone in our Hong Clan. Should I ask for help from Cloud Land Tiger Force? Maybe they can help us, but…"

"But what?" The former clan leader was very interested in his eldest grandson's proposal. But he had to frown because the young man stopped talking midway through the last sentence.

"If we want their help, our clan might have to bestow some of our treasures in return, sir. Even though I belong to Cloud Land Tiger Force, I don't hold a big position there. However, I know Master Regulator and many high-ranking elders. If we're willing to pay for them, our Hong Clan might be able to escape this crisis!" The young man looked very hesitant to finish speaking. Because he was afraid that his grandfather would rebuke him for this idea.

"If that really is our only way of survival, then you can contact them right away. Ask them if they can help us, including about remuneration. If it's not too much, our Hong Clan is willing to pay. But if they want too much, we'll have to fight to the death by ourselves!" The former clan leader did not scold, nor was he angry at the young man. He had thought about this as well. It was just that many events happened that made him forget.

Yes, sir, Grandpa!

The young man immediately responded. He was glad that his idea was useful to the clan. But another thought was that he would use this opportunity to embezzle part of the clan's assets. It could be said that killing two birds with one stone.

"Second Brother, why is your face so pale? What happened?" The young man then turned to look at his younger brother, Zheng-Fu, disguised as Hong-Bai-Chen, to discuss. However, he saw that Zheng-Fu had beads of sweat streaming down his forehead and was very pale, so he asked worriedly.

"Big Brother, I'm fine. I just feel a slight headache. Because before this, I just... did full activities. So, I feel exhausted and want to rest." Zheng-Fu immediately replied. However, the condition he was in was purely acting. Because he knew from Hong-Bai-Chen's memory that the young man always had full activities with his maid every time he returned. And if he did not rest, he would be like this.

You!

"At a time of crisis like this, do you still have the mood to do such activities? If Father is still alive, the house will definitely be ruined!" Actually, the young man understood his younger brother well. He had guessed from the beginning what was wrong with him.

"Well, I can't help it, Big Brother! While at Cloud Land Tiger Force, I could only train and go out on missions in the forest. I hardly ever do this. When I come back here, I want to do it to the utmost!" Zheng-Fu continued to act like a real young man. If he did not reveal his true identity himself, no one would know that beneath Hong-Bai-Chen's face was actually Zheng-Fu.

You!

Hey, that's enough, you guys!

The former clan leader immediately stopped the two brothers. Because the current situation was in a crisis and many members were grieving, talking about shameless things like that was not appropriate. Then he went on to explain the purpose for which he had called everyone together there. "I called everyone here because I'm going to have you all stay in this hall together. Because if we still live separately as before, that thing would probably happen again. And to save your own lives, don't refuse and please obey my orders!"

Ah!

Of course, many of them were dissatisfied. Because sleeping together had no privacy. But since this was an order and something that affected their lives, the surviving elders and pillar persons could only accept it and follow it. And Zheng-Fu strongly agreed with this idea. It would prevent him from being suspected when he killed them. Because he could stay there and command the clone figures to take action.
