Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Who Is the Person Behind You?
Li Tian’s mind, his schemes, his methods—all of it chilled Patriarch Wu to the bone. ’How old is he? To possess such a meticulous mind and devise such an exquisite plan at his age is terrifying.’Patriarch Wu had considered killing him to silence him. However, any intelligent person would know that Li Tian wouldn’t have dared to swagger into the Wu Family estate without a backup plan.
"What do you want me to do?" Slumping helplessly to the ground, Patriarch Wu knew Li Tian must have his own agenda. He didn’t want to beat around the bush any longer, so he asked directly.
Hearing this, Li Tian personally helped Patriarch Wu to his feet and into a nearby chair. Then, Li Tian sat down opposite him and spoke in a calm tone.
"Patriarch Wu, you’re an intelligent man, so you should know what to do. I want all information regarding this organization, as well as a list of all the families that have dealings with it."
Hearing Li Tian’s words, Patriarch Wu let out a long sigh. His expression turned somber as he said...
"Everything about the organization is highly secret. We know almost nothing about its affairs. All contact is initiated unilaterally by them. The only thing I can tell you is that the organization’s power is in no way inferior to the Flawless Palace. Once... an expert at the Spirit Realm from the organization came to Wind City. I saw it with my own eyes."
"As for the list of families involved, I only know of the Zhao Family and the Li Family. I don’t know about any others. The organization delivers messages to each family separately, so we have no idea how many have pledged their allegiance."
Patriarch Wu said slowly. After hearing him out, Li Tian wasn’t surprised. ’I figured as much,’ he thought. ’If getting information on this organization were that easy, I wouldn’t have such a headache over it.’
"In that case, what I need you to do is simple," Li Tian said. "Carry on as usual. Don’t do anything to arouse their suspicion, and don’t tell the organization I came looking for you. As for what I’ll need you to do, I’ll tell you when the time is right."
At these words, Patriarch Wu nodded in agreement, though he didn’t know what Li Tian was planning. To be safe, Li Tian added a stern reminder, "Patriarch Wu, don’t even think about tipping them off. Right now, the Wu Family has only one path forward: cooperating with me. If I find out you’ve told the organization anything about me—even a single word—I trust you know the consequences."
"Understood," Patriarch Wu replied with a nod.
"Alright, in that case, I’ll take my leave. I trust you’ll do your part, Patriarch Wu. When the time comes, I’ll naturally ensure the Wu Family comes to no harm." With that, Li Tian walked toward the door. Patriarch Wu’s concubine hurried forward to follow behind him.
Just as Li Tian reached the door and was about to pull it open, Patriarch Wu suddenly called out, "Who is backing you? Who do you work for? Are you a Disciple of the Flawless Palace?"
Hearing this, Li Tian simply paused, saying without turning his head, "I am not a Flawless Palace Disciple. As for who I work for, you’ll find out soon enough."
Without waiting for a response, Li Tian left the room.
Upon reaching the rear entrance of the Wu estate, Patriarch Wu’s concubine respectfully asked, "Young Master Li, should I continue to monitor Patriarch Wu?"
"Yes, but just act as you normally would," Li Tian replied indifferently.
After saying this, Li Tian left the Wu Family estate. He then paid visits to the Li Family and the Zhao Family, whose patriarchs naturally had the same reaction as Patriarch Wu.
