The William family, William in his study.

"What?!" William stood up in disbelief, his eyes filled with panic and shock. "Say that again?!"

The subordinate was terrified by William's voice, but still had to muster his courage to say, "We don't know what happened either. We went to intercept them as the intelligence instructed, but we didn't expect that the other party was Miss Alice's people!"

"The battle is fierce, and Miss Alice's people are putting up a desperate fight. If we want to escape unscathed, we have to wipe them out! Moreover, we suspect that Miss Alice has already recognized us, so we have no choice but to play along!"

William felt as if he had been struck by lightning; he couldn't even believe his ears. How could things have turned out this way?!

"You bastards! Wasn't your intelligence accurate? How could this happen?!"

Since he returned to the William family, he has always felt that the whole family is filled with an eerie atmosphere, and everyone seems to be wary of him.

He sent people to investigate secretly, but the entire family treated him like a ghost. Forced into a corner, he suspected that he had recently failed in his duties and angered his father. So he secretly sent people to keep an eye on the Emperor Killing Alliance's movements, preparing to atone for his sins.

Tonight, a secret report came from his subordinates, claiming that members of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance would infiltrate the organization disguised as Alice's subordinates. Moreover, these were all elite members of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, so he had to strike first to annihilate them all.

But little did he know that his subordinates had meticulously planned for so long, only to find that the other party was actually Alice's person.

He wasn't a member of the so-called Emperor-Slaying Alliance at all; he'd been completely fooled!

The subordinate was in a panic, anxiously asking, "What should we do? We originally planned to kill Miss Alice as well, but her subordinates risked their lives to protect her, and she escaped. She definitely won't let this go! If we don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble..."

Just then, a subordinate rushed in from the outside, shouting, "Something terrible has happened!"

"We just received news that the William family head's side has been attacked by unknown assailants! Their clothing and appearance are exactly the same as ours. The William family head has already led his men to sweep through our forces and they are about to rush over to our side!"

"Now that Patriarch William has concluded that you, Master, are a member of the Emperor-Killing Alliance, what should we do?"

William felt his head buzzing and he almost couldn't stand up.

In that instant, he finally understood—he had been tricked!

Just then, a sharp scream came from outside the gate, and a fierce battle instantly broke out outside.

Before William could even react, the head of the William family kicked open his bedroom door and opened fire!

"Ugh!" Before William could even see the face of the William family head, he felt countless bullets shooting toward his chest.

He didn't even have time to say another word before he collapsed, without even a chance to explain.

The patriarch of the William family, his face grim with rage, gave an unwavering order: "Eliminate everyone connected to William! Also, find all the spies from the Emperor-Killing Alliance hidden within the William family and kill them without mercy!"

"Yes!" The subordinate did not hesitate at all and immediately began to take action.

The other subordinates quickly dealt with the body in the room, but just then, one of the subordinates examining the body discovered that he couldn't touch the human skin mask on William's face, and a strange feeling immediately arose in his heart:

"Something's wrong with the patriarch! This imposter William doesn't have a human skin mask on his face at all!"

"What?!" The head of the William family stared wide-eyed in disbelief, hurriedly pushing aside the crowd and rushing towards the corpse, frantically peeling the skin off its face.

But the human skin on William's face was actually growing on his face; it wasn't a human skin mask at all!

In that instant, William felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body trembled violently, and then, in disbelief, he tried to tear William's face skin off again. But even after tearing William's face skin to shreds, he still couldn't get the human skin mask he wanted.

"What's going on? What exactly is going on?!" The head of the William family immediately felt as if he had been carefully deceived, and hurriedly questioned his subordinates in a stern voice.

The subordinates retreated in fear, their heads bowed so low they could barely speak: "We didn't know either! We were just following your instructions, Master..."

William felt as if countless flames were burning in his chest, as if they were about to consume his body completely.

So he killed his own son with his own hands?

But wasn't his own son already killed by the leader of the Emperor-Killing Alliance?

So, he was deceived by Gu Momo and Li Zhanting; this was just a ploy they staged to sow discord!

"Gu Momo, Li Zhanting, I'll make you wish you were never born!" William's voice was practically clenched between his teeth. His eyes were filled with tears, and his voice, filled with rage, seemed to want to tear Gu Momo and Li Zhanting to pieces.

Meanwhile, Alice had already taken over all the affairs of the William family and arrived late.

Seeing the mess in William's room, she was first shocked, then ran to the head of the William family with a pained expression: "Dad, what happened? And why are you hugging my brother? This brother isn't from the Emperor-Slaying Alliance..."

"Shut up!" The head of the William family held William's corpse tightly, gritting his teeth as he said:

"This is your brother! Who gave you the right to speak ill of your brother! You bitch, when your brother came back, why didn't you properly determine whether he was really your brother? Were you blind?!"

The menacing voice sounded as if it were cursing a vicious person, and Alice couldn't help but sneer.

At first, she firmly suspected that William was the person sent by the Emperor-Killing Alliance, and that he was her own biological father!

Now look what's happened! He killed his own son, and now he's trying to pin all the blame on her.

What, if you shift the blame onto her, will her biological son come back to life?

Her delicate lips curved into a smile, her fair fingers elegantly toying with the gun in her hand. Her smile was like a rotting demon flower from hell: "Dad, it seems you really do care about your son. Since you love him so much, why don't you go to hell with him?"

William immediately turned his head on high alert, only to see Alice press a gun against his forehead.

When Alice entered, her subordinates stood discreetly behind William's men. So, as soon as Alice made her move, her subordinates swiftly and decisively killed William's men.

The room was suddenly left with only the head of the William family, who glared fiercely with wide eyes.

"You bitch, it was you! It was all your doing!!!"
