A middle-aged man walked into an old basement shop, but he didn't buy anything and went straight down the stairs at the end of the shop until he arrived at another room.

The blonde man sitting in the corner didn't say anything, and he coldly looked at the middle-aged man, but the red-haired man asked him. "Why did you suddenly come here?"

"Luke, I want to hire your hitman." The middle-aged man then placed a check in front of him.

"Oh?" Luke was surprised to hear that and took the check. "Who is the target? Which country does the target live in?"

The middle-aged man then gave a photo to Luke. "Chen Li lives in Beijing."

"Hmm?" The blonde man let out a short gasp and then said to Luke. "Leave it to me."

"Oh?" Luke turned to the blonde man in surprise. "Do you really want to do it, Matthew?"

"Yes." Matthew answered with a nod. "I got information that my two playthings returned to China some time ago, but I was busy back then, so I'm going there to get them both back and kill that guy at once. Besides, I heard that Alan died in that country, and Count Maxwell was also caught by those birdmen there."

"I've heard news about those two, and I think there's something strange in that country." Luke replied as he nodded several times.

"You're right." Matthew then said to him. "Perhaps they have connections with some people from that country, or else news about them must have spread to the public, but no one knows about them apart from our kin. If I succeed in finding the identity of the person who collaborated with them, I'm sure that Duke Erasmus will reward me handsomely."

"Haha! That's for sure." Luke replied with a laugh. "Count Maxwell is one of the seniors, so Duke Erasmus can't possibly remain silent, and he definitely wants to kill those people."

Matthew then walked over to them and took Chen Li's photo, and he briefly looked at it before leaving the room. "I'll go meet them first, and I'll go straight to that country afterward."

Luke then spoke to the middle-aged man. "You are lucky, Chen Hu. If he had carried out the task, that guy would definitely have died."

"That's good." Chen Hu nodded with a satisfied smile. "I will leave now, and I will wait for news of his death."

"Wait a minute." Luke immediately stopped Chen Hu. "The money you gave me is not enough to use his services, and you have to add something else."

"What does that man want?" Chen Hu asked with a frown, but he didn't mind it as long as Matthew could kill Chen Li.

Luke shook his head at him. "I don't know, and you can wait for him to finish the task first."

"All right."

After Chen Hu left, Luke mumbled to himself. "That idiot is much more vile than us vampires! Based on his name, I was sure that guy was one of his family, but he actually wanted to kill him."

Two women were soaking in the jacuzzi, but Chen Zhiyi kept paying attention to Tian Qiu's naked body, especially her breasts, and she kept comparing them with her own.

"Why do you keep looking at my breasts?" Tian Qiu asked with an amused smile.

Chen Zhiyi moved in front of Tian Qiu, lifted her breasts with both hands, and squeezed them gently. "Your breasts are much bigger and fuller than mine! Could it be that Big Brother Chen rejected me because I'm flat-chested?"

"Haha!" Tian Qiu laughed and pulled Chen Zhiyi into her embrace, and she spoke to her. "I've known you for a few years, but this is the first time I've seen you have no confidence in yourself! Based on your story, I'm sure Chen Li rejected you not because of your body but because of the blood relationship between you two. Moreover, he has loved Feng Xian'er since they were little, so their bonds are much deeper than you can imagine."

Chen Zhiyi buried her face in Tian Qiu's chest, but she couldn't refute her last sentence, for she herself was also aware of their relationship.

Tian Qiu couldn't help but sigh, seeing Chen Zhiyi continue like that. She then raised her head and rubbed her cheeks. "How about we go out to have fun? You are my best friend, and I also feel sad seeing you like this, so I think we can go somewhere to have fun together now."

"Where are we going?" Chen Zhiyi asked because she didn't want Tian Qiu to be sad for her.

As she hugged Chen Zhiyi, Tian Qiu thought about places they could have fun. "Shall we go to my father's villa? After all, you don't know when Chen Li will return, so it's no problem if we go there and spend some time there, and we'll come straight back here if your aunt has replied to your message."

"All right then."

After that, the two of them immediately finished their shower and returned to the bedroom to get dressed, but Chen Zhiyi immediately frowned after she read the message from her mother.

"What happened? Who sent you the message?" Tian Qiu curiously asked.

"My mother sent me a message, and she asked me to go home as soon as possible." Chen Zhiyi replied as she replied to Ximen Yuqing's message.

Tian Qiu was surprised to hear that, immediately sat beside her, and read the message Chen Zhiyi had written to Ximen Yuqing. However, she wasn't surprised that her best friend rejected her mother's request, especially since she still hadn't met Chen Li.

"Forget it; I won't go home before I meet Big Brother." Chen Zhiyi replied as she pulled Tian Qiu to her feet. "Let's go to your father's villa now, and we will have fun together there."

"Let's go then."

In the living room, Liu Zhen was sitting opposite two old men and a middle-aged woman, but his eyes kept glaring at one of the old men.

"Brother-"

"You are such an idiot, Liu Bao!" Liu Zhen interrupted his little brother fiercely. "You were a good man when you were at your lowest point, but you became so greedy after you achieved your success, and you even kept forcing your two daughters to keep working for money. Because of your greed, Yue'er ran away to Hainan because you want to marry her to an old man like Liang Rukai, but you still don't want to learn from your mistakes, and you want to marry Ling'er to an old bastard like Luo Jingtian."

"Liu Zhen!" Luo Jingtian shouted as he rose from his seat. "Don't you think I'm afraid of you! Even though you are a famous figure in this country, I can still crush you easily."

"Is that so?" Liu Zhen asked with a faint smile.

"You-" However, Luo Jingtian swallowed his words back, especially after Liu Zhen released his aura as a cultivator. 'What the hell? Why has this old man suddenly become so scary?'

"I want to talk to my little brother and sister-in-law, and you are not part of my family, so you can leave my house right now." Liu Zhen said as he pointed towards the exit. "Let me tell you, I have never been afraid of you; even if Liang Rukai came here to help you fight me, I will never back down, and I will face both of you at once."

Hearing that, Liu Bao and Lan Ting exchanged glances, and they felt confused by Liu Zhen's attitude, especially since his attitude was really unusual. Moreover, they knew that Liang Rukai and Luo Jingtian were very strong, but he blatantly challenged both of them.

"I will definitely make you regret this!" Luo Jingtian shouted at him before he left Liu Zhen's house, and he immediately contacted Liang Rukai and his other friends to help him.

Lan Ting then said to Liu Zhen. "What have you done, brother-in-law? Luo Jingtian and Liang Rukai are very powerful, and they also have acquaintances with several other powerful people."

"My wife is right, brother." Liu Bao said it with a bad expression. "You should hand Ling'er over to us now, so we can calm them down."

However, Liu Zhen shook his head and rejected him. "You two may be afraid of them, but I will never be afraid of them. Ling'er is my niece, and I will do anything to protect her happiness. If you guys insist on handing her and Yue'er over to those two old bastards, then you don't need to come here ever again, and I don't want to have family members like you two."

"Brother, you-"

"I don't want to listen to your arguments, and you can choose between family or money." Liu Zhen did not give Liu Bao a chance to speak. "If you think money is more important than your family, then you can leave this house now. However, if you step out of this house now, then our family relationship will end here, so the choice is up to you."

Liu Bao looked at his big brother with a complicated look, but he ultimately decided to take Lan Ting to leave the house, and they looked for Luo Jingtian to discuss their next move.

After they left, Liu Zhen let out a heavy sigh and leaned back on the back of the chair while massaging his forehead. "Money has truly blinded them, and they prioritize it over their families."
