Gu Momo pressed the play button, and the conversation between William Zhi and the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance was heard by everyone.
William's voice was very distinctive, and almost as soon as it was broadcast, the William family members' expressions turned ugly.
Gu Momo and Li Zhanting didn't miss a single expression on anyone's face. These people looked at each other, their faces showing worry and reproach. They probably already guessed that this was the sound of William Zhi meeting with the leader of the Emperor Killing Alliance.
They never expected that such an important item would be obtained by Gu Momo and Li Zhanting!
But these people were all seasoned veterans, and they weren't easily fooled. One of them immediately exclaimed in feigned shock, "My God, that voice... isn't that William Zhi's voice? He's actually colluding with the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance?!"
"Yeah, judging from his tone, he seems to be quite familiar with the alliance leader."
Immediately, someone said, "Mr. Ting, Miss Gu, you heard it too. This is William Zhi colluding with the Emperor-Killing Alliance. It has nothing to do with us. Please don't blame our William family."
Li Zhanting's obsidian-like eyes curled into a playful smile, his voice laced with amusement: "Don't rush to explain, it's not over yet."
No sooner had he finished speaking than William's voice, desperately pleading for help, came from the recording: "No, don't kill me, Alliance Leader!"
The voice was exactly the same as William's, instantly putting the entire William family on edge!
The next moment, the cold and ruthless voice of the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance came from the recording: "If you can't even handle this small matter, what use are you to my Emperor-Slaying Alliance? The plan that the royal palace has been carrying out for many years has been exposed. You all deserve to die!"
Immediately afterwards, William's screams could be heard in the recording, followed by a gunshot, after which William's voice disappeared instantly.
"Ah!" One of the more timid members of the William family couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Although the rest of the William family tried to remain calm, almost everyone's face showed deep shock and lingering fear, and the air in the room seemed to freeze.
They understood perfectly what the Emperor-Killing Alliance meant by those words; they were trying to wipe out the William family!
They had all made great contributions to the rise of the Emperor Killing Alliance, but now William was executed without hesitation by the alliance leader for a small mistake.
Therefore, in the eyes of the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, they are just pawns who can be used and then discarded!
Just thinking about it is enough to make everyone in the William family feel insecure!
William's face was ashen, his fingers gripping the teacup tightly, as if he had an urge to crush it.
Their family was utterly loyal to the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, yet the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance was so ruthless!
"The Emperor-Killing Alliance is simply outrageous!" Patriarch William slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage.
"And that bastard William, how dare he collude with the Emperor-Slaying Alliance behind our backs? Good riddance! Good riddance indeed! Thank you to the Emperor-Slaying Alliance for ridding our William family of this scourge! Our William family will pretend we never had this son!"
Beside him, a beautifully dressed woman wiped away her tears with overwhelming grief, as if waking from a deep sorrow:
"Yes! Our William family will pretend we never had this son! Thank you, Miss Momo and Mr. Ting, for bringing us these recordings. If it weren't for you two, we would never have known that our family had produced such a traitor!"
The head of the William family quickly helped his wife to sit down, his face full of sorrow: "Madam, please don't be too sad. This kind of scoundrel doesn't deserve a single tear from us! Ha, I've lived a lifetime of brilliance, never expecting that this son would tarnish my reputation!"
He spoke with tears streaming down his face, yet with a righteous indignation, vividly portraying the transition from initial grief and indignation to final sorrow and reluctance.
A hint of amusement flickered in Gu Momo and Li Zhanting's eyes, and their smiles became even more elegant.
He really is a cunning old fox. Even though they all realized that the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance might betray them after using them, he could still pretend like this.
“It seems that everyone is indeed unaware of what William has done.” Li Zhanting’s deep eyes held a smile as he stood up, an air of nobility naturally emanating from him. “In that case, Momo and I will forgive you for misunderstanding.”
Gu Momo quickly smiled and said, "That's right, it seems that Patriarch William has good intentions. We are probably all thinking of the people of Y country, but there are still some misunderstandings between us and the William family. Please don't blame us, Patriarch."
The members of the William family were all indignant: "How can you blame Miss Gu and Mr. Ting? It's all our fault."
"Please rest assured, Miss Gu and Mr. Ting, we will strengthen the internal reforms of the William family and will absolutely not allow the traitor to run rampant again!"
Li Zhanting's smile didn't reach his eyes: "In that case, Momo and I won't disturb you any longer. However, I would like to ask the patriarch to investigate the internal personnel carefully. After all, the Emperor-Slaying Alliance is very good at disguise, and it is common for them to use human skin masks to infiltrate your ranks."
"So I'm sorry to trouble the family head with this, but I'm afraid that the members of the Emperor-Killing Alliance have infiltrated the William family."
"Yes, yes, yes... We will be careful, of course." Patriarch William nodded slightly and respectfully saw Gu Momo and Li Zhanting off.
Gu Momo walked in front, with Li Zhanting following closely behind to prevent any unexpected situations from arising.
As Gu Momo and Li Zhanting left the noble palace where the William family resided, the William family head and his family members almost simultaneously turned cold, their eyes becoming sinister and terrifying.
"Dad! This Emperor-Slaying Alliance is really disrespecting us!" Alice, the daughter of the William family head, rushed forward to support him, gritting her teeth as she said, "We've done so much for them, and they just kill us whenever they want!"
"Ha! Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. This is the boldness of the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance!" The cold eyes of the William family head were filled with hatred. "But our William family has never been someone else's pawn. If he really wants to make a move against us, we will not be polite!"
William's life of military service shaped his iron-willed character. He initially chose to follow the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance out of admiration for his courage, hoping that the alliance could lead the William family to its peak.
But he knew then that choosing to cooperate with the Emperor-Slaying Alliance would be tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin!
Now the Emperor-Slaying Alliance has reached a critical juncture of life and death, and its true nature has finally been revealed.
But the William family is now powerful enough to rival the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, and he doesn't believe the Emperor-Slaying Alliance can do anything to them.
Alice looked at her father's spirited appearance and said happily, "Dad, you're right."
“Daughter, you must be very wary of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. Although Gu Momo and Li Zhanting are gone, we didn’t just say what we were saying to them. We must find out how many people in the family are members of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance and be on guard against them. Otherwise, if we break ties with the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, we will be the ones who die without a burial place.”
Alice nodded excitedly, "Yes, Father! Your daughter will certainly live up to your expectations!"
