Li Qianfan!
Upon hearing Li Qianfan's crisp introduction, Alexander's heart quivered.
The murderous intent he had secretly sworn to annihilate the entire clan of a certain person vanished like smoke.
Li Qianfan was the son of Li Xiao of Longxu and the future Young Dragon Lord of Longxu.
To have Brother Shan exterminate the Longxu clan?
Heh.
What a joke!
"Ha, haha."
Alexander chuckled, "Nephew, when did you escape from the people of the War Demon Palace? And when did you arrive in ancient Hebrew? Alas, you. My child, since you've come to Uncle Shan's side, why didn't you come directly to my home?"
Nephew.
Uncle Shan—
As Alexander uttered these two titles, his attitude and tone were remarkably warm and natural.
Even if he wished to tear Li Qianfan to shreds, this affection and naturalness were genuine and irrefutable.
Li Qianfan secretly admired him.
He quickly straightened his demeanor, "Uncle Shan, as a junior, I wouldn't dare to impose. This was my plan: first, I'll visit Mr. Salaye. Then, perhaps tonight, or tomorrow night, or the night after, or next month. In any case, I will visit Aunt Lin Yun'er and see my dear brother Moses."
Lin Yun'er.
Twenty years ago, this woman was the young mistress of the Lou family in Jinling, Eastern Lands.
Her eldest son, Lou Yunxie, was already hailed as the most handsome man in the Eastern Lands twenty years ago, and he had once pursued Lu Ziqi.
However, he later became Li Xiao of Longxu's "henchman," married the only daughter of Ji Ya, and rebuilt the Lou family of Jinling that Li Xiao had destroyed.
Lin Yun'er was known as Ji Ya the Second.
She was also a woman whose genes had highly fused with 209.
By chance, Lin Yun'er married Alexander.
However, Lin Yun'er's son, Moses III, was Alexander's son, conceived by Little Moses.
In short, their family relationships were quite complicated.
But no matter how complicated, Lin Yun'er's son, Moses III, was Alexander's only direct descendant and was being groomed as his successor.
Now.
After having Salaye hooked, Li Qianfan candidly told his beloved Uncle Shan that he would visit Aunt Lin Yun'er and Brother Moses.
This was a blatant threat!
Alexander's cheeks puffed out.
He didn't believe Li Qianfan was just threatening him.
This little bastard was definitely someone who would act on his words!
"Haha."
Alexander chuckled again, "Nephew, just tell me whatever you need Uncle Shan's help with. With the years of brotherhood between Li Xiao and me, do we need to be so serious with each other?"
Li Qianfan smiled and waved at Du Junlin.
Du Junlin immediately flipped his wrist and raised his hand!
Swish—
Alexander, watching through the video, saw a cold glint streak past the left side of Salaye's neck.
Then blood spattered!
Salaye, the great patriarch of the Moses family and one of Alexander's twelve personal guards, met his end.
Alexander's expression changed drastically, and he closed his eyes in pain.
Li Qianfan said leisurely, "Uncle Shan, that's all for now. I'm going to have lunch and send someone to find out where Aunt Lin Yun'er is. It's said that although she's over sixty, due to the 209 modified by the Moses family, she currently looks like she's in her thirties. She probably regrets her constant immortality."
"Li Qianfan."
Alexander dropped all pretense of warmth and stopped playing dumb.
He said softly, "Months ago, when the War Demon Palace contacted me, I wanted to find out the location of their lair. Unfortunately, they were extremely wary of me and didn't reveal any clues. Therefore, I truly don't know where the War Demon Palace is hidden."
He was not lying.
He dared not, nor was it necessary to lie!
The War Demon Palace had used the research data on 209 as their calling card when they first approached him.
The War Demon Palace hoped to use the Moses family's various channels to do things that would not harm the interests of the Moses family.
Alexander, of course, would not refuse something that offered benefits without drawbacks.
Thus, when the Rhode family hoped to hire some absolute experts through the Moses family, Alexander introduced them to the War Demon Palace.
And he collected a certain referral fee.
However, the Moses family had indeed not participated in the cooperation between the War Demon Palace and the Rhode family.
It was just a referral fee!
But this small referral fee had resulted in the death of Salaye, one of his twelve personal guards!
Alexander was filled with regret.
It was just that over the past twenty years, due to certain genetic defects, Alexander's health had declined significantly, and eighty percent of his former ambition had been worn away.
If this had happened fifteen years ago, and Li Qianfan had dared to do this, Alexander would have immediately launched a full-scale bloody retaliation against Longxu.
The older you get, the braver you become, this saying was not just for show.
"Uncle Shan."
Li Qianfan said indifferently, "I'll give you one hour to gather everyone connected to the War Demon Palace you can reach. Bring them to Salaye's villa, we'll be waiting. Remember, one hour at most. Even if it's a minute over, I'll immediately visit Aunt Lin Yun'er."
Beep.
Before Alexander could say anything, the video call ended.
"You little beast, you dare to threaten me!"
Alexander could no longer control himself. He slammed the table and roared, "Someone!"
His secretary immediately pushed open the door and hurried in, "Your Excellency, the Patriarch, please instruct."
Immediately dispatch masters to Salaye's mansion to capture Li Qianfan!!
Alexander was about to roar this out—
The words turned into: "Go. Have Rubinson personally go and capture the two envoys from the War Demon Palace, break all their teeth, and send them to Salaye's residence, to be handed over to Li Qianfan. Remember, they must not die. You must accomplish this within one hour."
Rubinson was the chief steward of Moses Manor and one of the powerful experts in the Western Lands.
It was said that twenty years ago, he had sparred with Li Xiao of Longxu and, though defeated, had won glory!
"Yes!"
The secretary responded and quickly left the reception room.
Huff!
Alexander finally let out a long sigh. Looking at Green Rhode again, his face was beaming, "Count, where were we just now?"
Green Rhode had personally witnessed Li Qianfan, who had been captured by the War Demon Palace, return and then directly come to the Moses family's base camp to kill Salaye, one of the twelve guards, in front of Alexander via video call.
If it were him.
He would have surrounded Salaye's mansion with people by now.
Even if he didn't dare to kill Li Qianfan easily, he would definitely capture him alive, torture him severely, and then demand a ransom from Longxu.
But Alexander—
"Count."
Alexander looked at the stunned Green Rhode and smiled bitterly, "I know what you're thinking. I'd also like to do that, but I can't. Because Li Qianfan dares to openly provoke me, it means he has made extensive preparations. If I were to fall out with him completely. Heh, you know the outcome without me saying it."
Green Rhode nodded.
He then stammered, "Is that it? Just let it go?"
"Of course, it can't just be let go!"
Alexander's smile faded. He looked at Green Rhode and said calmly, "Count. The Rhode family must pay a certain price for Salaye's death."
Huh?
Did I hear that right?
Li Qianfan killed your subordinate, and you're making our Rhode family pay a price!?
Green Rhode's eyes widened.
"Esteemed Count, you heard correctly."
Alexander lit a cigar and said slowly, "Back then, if it weren't for your Rhode family asking me to help introduce the War Demon Palace, how would Li Qianfan have taken out his anger on me?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Damn it!
You can even say it like that!?
Green Rhode was so angry he laughed—
But before he could say anything, Alexander added, "Of course, Count can refuse me. But our Moses family will no longer interfere in any matters regarding the encirclement of Blackwater Forest. Furthermore, to appease the Young Dragon Lord of Longxu, we might have to cooperate with him and launch some harmless minor attacks against the Rhode family."
Green Rhode—
His face was contorted as if he had been treated like dirt!
"Count, you rest for a while. I need to personally explain things to Li Xiao."
Alexander stood up, "After all, Li Xiao and I are brothers, so we cannot turn against Longxu over such a small matter. The key is that the interests of our Moses family must not be harmed because of someone else's affairs!"
Green Rhode's cheeks twitched.
He suddenly understood why Alexander was known as the most outstanding patriarch in the history of the Moses family.
"Mr. Alexander."
Green Rhode said bitterly, "Please wait. I think my Rhode family does indeed have a responsibility to be accountable for the losses incurred by the Moses family."
Alexander's expression immediately brightened.
"I'll make a call to England first."
After Green Rhode managed to calm himself down, he immediately called Jessica.
He got straight to the point: "Jessica, Li Qianfan has escaped from the hands of the War Demon Palace!"
