Chapter 147 Framing
Chapter 147 Framing
On a large tree outside the wall next to the Tan Family Garden.
"What the hell?"
Xiao Chen stood on the tree trunk, watching the scene unfolding in the garden, his face darkening.
He brought his underworld guards from the Xiao family to this place, wanting to see what kind of show the Tan family had put up, only to witness what had just happened.
"Did the Xiao family send people to silence us?" The guard beside him also looked puzzled.
Xiao Chen frowned as he looked at the men in black in the garden, his face darkening.
"Not a member of the Xiao family."
“Someone is impersonating the Xiao family to silence us and frame the Xiao family,” he said.
The Xiao family is a prestigious clan. If word gets out that the family was wiped out, not only will they be disgraced, but the higher-ups of the Xia Kingdom will also take notice.
First, the official martial arts organization, the Martial Alliance, will send people to investigate and deal with the matter. There are specific regulations for dealing with martial arts practitioners, and they will act in accordance with the rules.
If the impact is too great, it's questionable whether the Xiao family can even continue to exist.
The imposter's intentions were extremely malicious.
Inside the garden, with a loud roar from the Tan family head, the assassin Bee Sting also took action.
He was skilled in assassination and had been hiding in the shadows ever since these men in black leaped in.
Before the Tan family head could finish his roar, he launched an attack.
The target is the leader.
A top-tier professional assassin, with a clear mind, striving for a single, decisive strike.
And that seems to be the case.
He was very fast; even when he was right in front of the leader of the men in black, the leader didn't react.
Just as the bee sting was about to succeed, the leader of the men in black suddenly smiled mockingly and made a sudden move.
"Om..."
The sharp dagger in Bee Sting's hand was held between his fingers, trembling and buzzing incessantly.
The bee's pupils constricted, and it immediately drew its knife to stab again, but the opponent still easily dodged.
In just two rounds, Bee Sting realized that the leader of the men in black was much stronger than him.
In an instant, the bee stinger made a decision, abandoned its target, and turned to flee.
He quickly realized he couldn't earn that money.
I made the decisive choice to give up.
"Heh..." The leader of the men in black sneered, chasing after them and throwing a punch that created a whooshing sound.
Terrified by the bee sting, the bee dared not take the hit head-on and could only dodge.
The man in black continued his attack, each punch heavier than the last, and finally, on his fourth punch, he struck Bee Sting in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground.
Seeing that even bee stings were no match for them, the two family heads were greatly alarmed.
This is a top-tier assassin ranked among the top 20 on the international assassin rankings, yet he was defeated so quickly!
They couldn't help but begin to despair.
Even with powerful backers, they can't put out a fire right now.
“I don’t know who you are, but I’m just an assassin, I do things for money. I’m not taking this job. Let me go. I didn’t see anything,” Bee Sting said solemnly, lying on the ground.
“Okay, let’s go.” The leader of the men in black agreed.
The bee immediately got up, turned around, and left.
As soon as he turned around, the leader of the men in black stabbed him with his knife.
Although he was prepared for the bee sting, the injury slowed him down, and he was stung.
As the bee stinger fell, the leader of the men in black raised his hand and gave the order again.
"Kill everyone except these two, and take everything of value with you!"
"Clap clap clap..." The sound of clapping came from above.
The leader of the men in black's eyes narrowed instantly, and he turned around and threw a long knife toward the direction from which the sound came.
But the long knife pierced through the leaves without causing any reaction.
"What a brilliant scheme to kill, rob, and frame someone!" a voice came from the tree.
The leader of the men in black frowned.
"Who are you, you coward? Show yourself!" he shouted.
"Why don't you dare?"
A powerful figure flew out from among the leaves, graceful and agile.
Xiao Chen landed in the center of the garden with five Netherworld Guards.
Upon seeing Xiao Chen's face, the two family heads' eyes widened instantly.
"It's you!" they exclaimed in shock and anger.
"Who are you?" The leader of the men in black stared at Xiao Chen, his eyes narrowed.
He did not underestimate Xiao Chen because of his youth.
To be able to hide in the tree for so long without anyone noticing is no small feat.
Xiao Chen did not answer, his expression mocking.
"Aren't you from the Xiao family? How come you don't recognize him?" the two family heads asked in confusion.
"Hmm?" The leader of the men in black frowned and looked Xiao Chen over again.
“You are… Xiao Chen!” he said in a deep voice.
"Oh, you've heard of me." Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
This shows that the other party is constantly monitoring the Xiao family's movements.
"I'm rather curious, where did you all come from?" Xiao Chen asked.
The man in black was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Very well, you've come at the right time. Didn't those people from the Xiao family tell you to be careful?"
"What were you thinking? How dare you leave you outside..."
As he spoke, he removed his mask, revealing a weathered face.
The other men in black also removed their masks, no longer hiding themselves.
Xiao Chen's expression grew increasingly sarcastic.
Generally, people who act this way only do so under one circumstance.
That means they were prepared to silence him.
"I'm asking you, what's Xiao Yaheng's current situation? Where is the Xiao family hiding him?" The leader of the men in black put away his smile and pointed his knife at Xiao Chen as he asked.
"I see." Xiao Chen looked enlightened.
“You are members of the Illuminati.”
Elva Hsiao is a pawn planted by the Illuminati. Who else but the Illuminati would care?
The leader of the men in black narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You're very smart," he said calmly. "Whether you answer my question or not, you're going to die anyway, but answering will make your death quicker."
"Was it Xiao Yuanshan who orchestrated the complete annihilation of my Illuminati last time? Did the Xiao family discover Xiao Yaheng's true identity?"
Xiao Chen clicked his tongue twice.
"Didn't Xiao Yaheng send people to intercept me? I went to the Xiao family and crippled him, and then the Xiao family promoted me to a seed." He said jokingly.
The leader of the men in black had a stiff expression.
How could he not understand?
It turns out that the Xiao family saw through the Illuminati's plan from the very beginning, despite how many years they had been plotting it.
The Xiao family just watched the show...
It would be a lie for the leader of the men in black to say he wasn't angry.
"What a fine Xiao family! Very fine indeed!" he said through gritted teeth, then glared fiercely at Xiao Chen.
"They calculated everything, but they overlooked one thing: their new seed is going to die young!"
With a single glance, the other men in black surrounded Xiao Chen and his companions.
The expressions on the faces of the Tan family head and the Zheng family head were truly fascinating.
One shocking turn of events after another nearly overwhelmed their fragile hearts.
At this moment, the Illuminati focused their attention on Xiao Chen, and they wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
"Do you want to die even faster?" The voice of the leader of the men in black came, startling the two men so much that they froze and dared not move.
"You can kill Xiao Chen as you please, we promise not to say a word!" Patriarch Tan quickly declared.
"He is our mortal enemy, and we absolutely support the Illuminati!"
The leader of the men in black snorted coldly.
"The plan has changed; now we can't leave a single survivor!"
As he finished speaking, more men in black appeared around them and headed to various parts of the Tan family's residence.
The bloody massacre begins...
