"Riller, what do you mean!" Yu Zhenlong threw the documents on the table at him, abandoning all manners and composure. He lunged forward and grabbed Riller by the collar, almost pulling him off the windowsill.

Reller shrugged, blinking his blue eyes innocently. "Yu, what are you talking about?"

"You promised that Country B would support me... but why is Country A attacking the western part of Country C, while Country B is attacking the north!" Yu Zhenlong said through gritted teeth, his eyes bulging as he stared at Ruiler. "When did Country A and Country D get involved? Why was I completely unaware?! You bastard, is it fun to keep me in the dark all this time?!"

“Yu…you know…” Reller, seeing that Yu Zhenlong knew everything, stopped pretending. “I must prioritize the interests of Country B…the north is more advantageous for us to attack…”

"The north is more advantageous for attacking?" Yu Zhenlong sneered. "Do you take me for a three-year-old? The north is simply a road with no way out for you. If you send troops to invade Country C and fail to conquer the northern territory..."

At this point, Yu Zhenlong's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared in shock at the repulsive face before him, taking a half-step back. "This time it's not just the three countries of A, B, and D besieging country C... but an alliance of four countries of A, B, D, and E?!"

Reller's eyes flickered slightly. He pursed his lips and watched as Yu Zhenlong suddenly broke free, leaped backward, and fell out of the window, leaving behind only a faint sentence.

"Sometimes, knowing too much isn't a good thing."

Yu Zhenlong gritted his teeth and leaped to chase after Ruiler, but when he jumped out of the window, he couldn't even find Ruiler's shadow.

Furious, he punched the wall behind him, creating a huge ice hole, and the man escaped! Yu Zhenlong gritted his teeth. He finally understood something: Reller didn't suddenly want to break the contract; he never genuinely wanted to cooperate with him in the first place.

However, there must be someone behind Reller who obeys his orders... Who exactly is this person who can unite four countries to fight against Country C?

As Yu Zhenlong was pondering, a figure suddenly appeared behind him. The figure slashed at Yu Zhenlong's back with incredible speed. By the time Yu Zhenlong reacted and dodged, he was still cut on the back by the dagger.

The shadowy figure missed its first attack and immediately followed up with a second, the speed of which was so fast that it left only a blur on the ground. However, Yu Zhenlong was no ordinary person. He retreated quickly, enduring the pain, while simultaneously using frost to rapidly condense a huge ice net around their battle.

Standing in the center of the ice net, the dark figure attacked him relentlessly. Yu Zhenlong smiled coldly, raised his hand, and several ice crystals immediately wrapped around the dark figure's feet. Only then did Yu Zhenlong take a closer look, and he frowned, exclaiming in surprise, "Jiu Ke?!"

Jiu Ke seemed to be unconscious. His empty eyes stared straight at Yu Zhenlong as he struggled expressionlessly against the ice crystals binding him, giving the impression of a soulless puppet.

"This is how it is..." A knowing glint flashed in Yu Zhenlong's eyes. He had seen others like this before; this was how they behaved after being controlled by Reller.

He didn't know much about Reiler's abilities, but the only thing he knew was that the guy could control other people's thoughts and actions, sometimes even allowing them to lie dormant for a long time and launch a fatal attack when necessary... That's why he was wary of Reiler.

Looking around, he couldn't find any trace of Reller. It seemed that Jiu Ke had been controlled beforehand... Damn it, he was too careless.

Yu Zhenlong gritted his teeth. Although Jiu Ke was ostensibly a guard, he was actually his right-hand man. He had Jiu Ke do some shady things behind the scenes, but now Jiu Ke had become like this!

Now, the only option is to deal with Jiu Ke first... Yu Zhenlong's eyes darkened slightly. Although he felt it was a bit of a waste, he still condensed a long ice crystal in his hand and walked over.

"Jiu Ke, I have to get rid of you." Yu Zhenlong said calmly, then without hesitation, he raised the ice crystal high and plunged it into Jiu Ke's chest. As blood splattered, he let out a long sigh of relief. And at that very moment, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes reflected on the ice in front of him.

Immediately, he felt his head buzzing, and the next second, a dagger pierced through his chest.

"Yu, you underestimated your opponent."

Reller jumped out of the window next to him. He had been concealing his presence, waiting for this opportunity.

Seeing Yu Zhenlong clutching his chest in disbelief, Reller chuckled softly, "Who told you I can only control the living? Controlling the dead would be truly convenient for me."

Yu Zhenlong's eyes were bloodshot, but he couldn't utter a single word. At this moment, half an arm was stuck in his chest, and the dagger that arm had been holding was deeply embedded in his chest, almost piercing through his heart.

If it's a dead person, then Reller can control every part of that person's body at will?! Yu Zhenlong's mind went blank for a moment, the massive blood loss almost making it difficult for him to maintain his consciousness.

He was deceived. He was deceived from beginning to end. These guys' goal from the very beginning was to annex the entire country of C. They never intended to let anyone live!

Yu Zhenlong didn't say a word, but after glaring fiercely at Ruiler, frost rapidly surged from the inside of his wound to the outside, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a huge block of ice.

Reller was so fast that he didn't have time to stop her.

He actually froze himself inside a block of ice?!

Reller narrowed his eyes and threw a punch. The ice trembled, but didn't crack in the slightest. As expected, it was ice condensed by a superhuman; it wasn't something that could be easily destroyed.

Gritting his teeth, he looked at Yu Zhenlong, who was frozen in ice and unable to move, and felt a surge of anger.

Seeing the provocative smile on Yu Zhenlong's face, Reller kicked the ice block hard, but to no avail. Yu Zhenlong had clearly used the ice block to cut off all his connection with the outside world, so even his supernatural abilities couldn't harm Yu Zhenlong in the slightest.

Noisy sounds came from the window above, it seemed that someone had discovered that Yu Zhenlong was missing... Reller took two steps back and hid in the darkness. Well, he had seriously injured Yu Zhenlong now, and even if Yu Zhenlong came out of the ice, he would definitely need to stay in bed for a while.

He had other things to do now and no time to waste. Reller sighed, his blue eyes brightening slightly, then vanished in a flash, leaving behind only a massive, chilling block of ice and tangled icicles, proof of a fierce battle that had taken place. (To be continued.)
