Three questions in a row left Feng Yuxiao looking away, stammering and unsure of what to say.

Especially the last question.

The Feng family knew that Liu Kai wouldn't really fight to the death; if he couldn't defeat the berserker, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

But knowing he was in danger, they deliberately didn't help.

As a "partner," this approach is indeed a bit excessive.

“If your Feng family really has no sincerity, let’s just part ways. I’m too lazy to be the deputy director anyway.”

Seeing Liu Kai's piercing gaze, Feng Yuxiao knew he was forcing her to make a statement.

Recalling the divination result obtained by Kazami River, the only way for the Kazami family to survive was related to Liu Kai.

She couldn't help but sigh and quickly lowered her head to apologize.

"I am truly sorry, Deputy Director Liu. I will communicate with the head of the family immediately and will definitely help you resolve this issue completely this time."

"I promise this will never happen again."

Liu Kai didn't believe a single punctuation mark of her promise.

He immediately let out a disdainful nasal sound.

In the end, he waved his hand and said, "How to handle this in the future is your Feng family's business, but I am very unhappy that you stood by and did nothing this time. Don't you need to give some compensation?"

"Compensation is a certainty!"

Feng Yuxiao quickly chimed in, "I just wonder what Deputy Director Liu wants?"

After going around in circles, Liu Kai finally found an opportunity to express his true thoughts.

He gave a knowing look, held up two fingers, and slowly opened his mouth.

"First, provide me with a list of core members of the other two major families, preferably in China, as many as you can find."

Upon hearing the first condition, Feng Yuxiao readily agreed.

Seeing her so readily agree, Liu Kai added with some concern, "I only want core members, that is, people with special family abilities. Don't try to fool me with lowly underlings."

"Don't worry, Deputy Director Liu. Although we don't have information on all the members, we do know a few from each family."

Feng Yuxiao had absolutely no reason to refuse Liu Kai.

Liu Kai's request for the list was nothing more than a way to cause trouble, something Feng Jiale had already anticipated.

"Secondly, I need you to perform a divination for me."

However, Liu Kai did not expect that the second condition, which seemed simple to him, would not go so smoothly.

Upon hearing the divination request, Feng Yuxiao's face instantly showed a rather troubled expression.

They didn't even have time to say what the divination Liu Kai wanted to ask was about, or whether it was about a big or small matter.

This unusual performance immediately piqued Liu Kai's curiosity.

He looked Feng Yuxiao up and down again, and asked with great suspicion, "You are the only daughter of the fourth elder of the family, don't you have the family's ability to divine?"

"Of course I will!"

Feng Yuxiao quickly explained, "But the patriarch just gave a strict order today, forbidding us from using any means at will."

Liu Kai was quite surprised.

They possess extraordinary abilities that allow them to predict the future at no cost, yet they forbid their clansmen from using them.

That's quite a rare thing.

Did Kazami also guess Liu Kai's plan to perform a reverse scan?

no!

A thought flashed through Liu Kai's mind, and he instantly became alert.

The order to forbid divination was only issued today, and today happens to be the day Liu Kai realized that reverse scanning was possible.

What a coincidence!

Therefore, Liu Kai couldn't help but guess that Kazamikawa had probably cast another divination.

The divination results should not have revealed that Liu Kai possesses spatial abilities, or even that he intends to use reverse scanning.

A more likely interpretation is that using one's abilities in front of Liu Kai could bring about the annihilation of the Feng family.

Liu Kai's face, which had just shown a slight improvement, fell again.

The difference is that the previous one was an act, but this time it's for real.

He had previously thought that the Sinclair family, who were capable of brainwashing, were the most dangerous.

After speaking with Shen Shiwei this morning, I also believe that the Crassus family, who can kill without leaving a trace, is the most dangerous.

It now seems that even the Feng family, which is relatively the weakest in terms of combat strength, is not a pushover.

Therefore, Liu Kai simply abandoned the order of the extermination plan.

There's no order of priority anymore; whoever we catch, we'll eliminate first!

I calmed myself down.

Liu Kai simply feigned helplessness towards Feng Yuxiao: "Secretary Feng, didn't you promise to compensate me? Is this your attitude?"

"But the patriarch said... perhaps you should change your terms."

Seeing that Feng Yuxiao was still in a difficult position, Liu Kai chuckled and said, "Hehe, you really do listen to your third uncle's orders."

Even though he wanted to destroy the Feng family, he never forgot to sow discord.

He once again provoked Feng Yuxiao with his words, stirring up the fire between Feng Jianchuan and Feng Yuxiao.

After all, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Kazamikawa must have used some means to suppress his other brothers to become the head of the family.

Of course, there's no need to say too much about this; just touch on it briefly.

Before Feng Yuxiao could answer, he continued to press, "Besides divination, what else can your Feng family offer that would interest me?"

“Since you can’t make the decision, then we’ll ask your third uncle for permission right away. That’s all I ask.”

It's unclear which of Liu Kai's words had the desired effect.

Just as Feng Yuxiao was about to refuse again, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

Surprisingly, he shut his mouth and lowered his head in deep thought.

Judging from her constantly glancing left and right, she was having some complicated thoughts.

Liu Kai outwardly pretended to be in no hurry, leisurely sipping his hot tea.

This time, Liu Kai was not disappointed.

Feng Yuxiao seemed to have figured something out, and slowly raised her head.

He stared intently into Liu Kai's eyes and said, "I can agree to your request, but only this once, and you absolutely cannot tell Kazamikawa!"

This answer surprised Liu Kai quite a bit.

It wasn't that Feng Yuxiao agreed to the divination, but rather that she addressed Feng Jianchuan by his given name.

Some premonitions in my mind seemed to be more strongly confirmed at this moment.

So Liu Kai readily agreed: "Don't worry, only heaven, earth, you, and I know."

Despite saying that, he was secretly overjoyed.

"You won't talk? Of course you will!"

This is a golden opportunity presented to us, a perfect chance to sow discord.

How could we let them go so easily?

Find an opportunity to talk to Kazami again later, and then casually bring up this matter.

Given Kazami's hypocritical nature, he probably wouldn't confront Feng Yuxiao directly about why she disobeyed his orders.

Instead, they will engage in some underhanded tactics targeting Feng Yuxiao's father, the fourth elder of the Feng family.

This is also a backup plan, just in case.

If his guess about reverse scanning is incorrect, the lair of these families will not be found.

It can also create chaos, or even serve as a trigger for larger-scale internal strife.

"Alright, I trust your character. Then, may I ask what Deputy Director Liu is?"

Feng Yuxiao's words pulled Liu Kai out of his inner thoughts.

only...

What is it?

Why does that sound so awkward?
