As soon as Camille finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

Abir widened his eyes and stared at Li Lin and his great-aunt with horror, thinking he had misheard.

Cleaning up the house...

My great-aunt is the family's chief spy. If I understood correctly, that's what she meant, right?

Kill my great-uncle, and then make myself the head of the family...

Regardless of whether I can do it or not, my great aunt and great uncle are siblings!

How could she?!

Abil was very puzzled. They had only had two arguments, so how could it have come to this?

She didn't dare ask Camille, but just bit her pale lower lip silently, her face pale and bloodless.

Meanwhile, Li Lin and Camille stared at each other for a long moment, their brows raised. "If we're going to clean up the mess... then why wait until now?"

Camille hesitated a little, "I..."

"You still have illusions about Stevan." Li Lin shook his head and sighed, "I thought you'd lived for seventy or eighty years and would do anything for the Ferros family."

"I don't need you to lecture me." Camille narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly, "I know my limits."

"Have your limits? Do you mean nurturing a tiger to cause trouble, or dragging down other families because of your own family affairs, and even bringing harm to a talented person who can propel the Twin Cities into a new era?"

Li Lin spoke without blushing, and it was not an exaggeration, as he had basically done what he said.

Camille was silent again.

"Camille, since you already know that Stevan has completely betrayed your brotherly relationship, why do you defend him in every way?

"He's even going so far as to kill your ex-boyfriend, Hakim, for the Hextech core... Stevan has completely lost his mind. You should have known this when you were interrogating Afuye, but you've waited until now."

Li Lin picked up the teacup on the tray and drank the cooled tea in one gulp. Then he walked past the stunned Abir and walked to the door.

Camille gave him a puzzled look, "What are you doing..."

As soon as she finished speaking, there were three quick knocks on the wooden door.

"Your brother is here."

In Camille's surprised eyes, Li Lin opened the door casually.

Outside the house stood an old man with white beard and temples, dressed in an extremely gorgeous men's evening suit with the family crest of the Philos family sewn on his chest. He was leaning on a spring-loaded folding cane in his hand, which looked like dry bark stuck to his skeleton.

Behind the old man, in addition to Bonnard, who had just greeted Li Lin and took him around the Lanxun Manor for more than ten minutes, there were two very strong men, more than two meters tall.

They were both wearing security uniforms, and perhaps because the size wasn't right, their knotted and bulging muscles were about to burst through the clothes and be exposed to the air.

Not only that, even though they were covered by clothes, Li Lin could still see their bodies that had been strengthened by Hextech under their fine fabrics.

Combined with the scanning and reminders from the intelligent brain, Li Lin also knew that there were at least more than a dozen people hiding on both sides of the corridor outside.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he could see them immediately.

Good man, is he unable to sit still and planning to force the emperor to abdicate?

Just out of respect, he didn't expose Stevan's plan for the time being, wanting to wait for Camille to make a decision.

Li Lin remained calm and had a calm and polite smile on his face.

However, just after he had his men knock on the door, the door opened and Stevan's face, which was full of wrinkles and marks of time, showed a hint of surprise.

"I guess you are the head of the Stevan family?" Li Lin spoke before they could react. "May the gears turn forward. I am Li Lin, a craftsman from the Jiraman family."

“…May the gears turn forward.”

Stevan's expression was a little stiff. After quickly responding to Li Lin, his clear blue eyes narrowed slightly and looked at Camille in the room.

"Sister, the dinner is about to begin. How could you let our distinguished guests come here?"

The tone of his voice was very normal, but Li Lin could not hear any emotion in it, only a sense of alienation and coldness.

Camille rose from her chair, her sharp feet digging into the precious carpet covering the marble floor.

"Li Lin and I haven't seen each other for a long time since we last met. I want to meet him in private."

She put her right hand on her waist, walked gracefully to Abir, who was still in a daze, and gently placed her hands on her shoulders.

"That's not proper, sister." Stevan showed no intention of entering the house. "If you want to talk to Li Lin, our reception hall is more than enough."

As he spoke, Camille tilted her ear slightly, as if she heard something unusual, and a hint of sadness appeared on her face.

"As expected... you are right. I shouldn't have any mercy."

"Hmm?" Stevan hummed in a questioning voice, his voice hoarse as if he had spit stuck in his throat.

He was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was what Camille said to Li Lin, "Mercy? I thought you had abandoned it since you became a spy, Camille."

This time, Stevan chose to call his sister by her first name.

"My mercy is only for those who truly need it." Camille's tone grew colder. "You've crossed the line, Stevan."

"Me? Crossing the line? Hahahaha..." Stevan laughed with his head thrown back, and his hands holding the crutches trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Li Lin had an inexplicable worry in his heart: Will he die of laughter?

"You have forgotten your duty, Camille."

"As the head of the family, I think you should be more clear about my responsibilities."
