Gu Momo felt a sudden boom in her head and could hardly believe her ears.
How could that be? How could her older brother be a member of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance!
A cold smile curled at the corners of her lips, and she slapped Alice hard across the face: "You think I'll believe your lies just because you're saying these things now? If you want to stall for time, you don't need to resort to such despicable tricks."
Alice was slapped across the face, her cheek immediately turning red and swollen. She couldn't help but wail four times:
"I didn't! I didn't lie at all! Hahaha, Gu Momo, if you don't want to believe me, fine. Anyway, I saw your brother with my own eyes. If you don't get information from me, you can wait to send your brother to his grave!"
The rampant laughter continued unabated, and Gu Momo felt as if a bloody gash had been torn open in her heart, causing her excruciating pain.
Seeing the pained look on Gu Momo's face, Li Zhanting's expression immediately turned cold: "Take her away!"
"Yes!" The subordinates escorted Alice and her men away in a grand procession, and then proceeded to purge the entire William family.
Before taking action against the William family, Li Zhanting and Gu Momo held rigorous negotiations with the Queen. They secured certain special rights for themselves to operate in Country Y, but they also had to guarantee all of the Queen's interests.
Soon, the subordinates of the Dark Night Alliance, together with the people sent by the Queen, launched a final internal reorganization of the entire William family.
All members of the William family had to undergo rigorous identity checks before being incorporated into the royal family. Anyone with a criminal record or who was dissatisfied with the royal family was sent to prison. If they could provide information useful to the royal family, they could receive a reduced sentence.
Of course, on Li Zhanting's advice, everyone associated with the William family was ultimately not given important positions!
All of William's family's money, assets, and equipment were confiscated by the royal family. However, according to the agreement between the Queen and Li Zhanting, 40% of the spoils went to Li Zhanting, and Li Zhanting was free to interrogate anyone captured within William's family.
It was two hours later when everything was settled with the William family.
After Li Zhanting finished directing his subordinates to handle their tasks, he saw Gu Momo emerge from the room with a serious expression, and he frowned.
"MoMo." Li Zhanting quickly stepped forward to help Gu MoMo up, and carefully asked:
"What's wrong? Are you tired? Or are you worried about your brother?"
Gu Momo's expression turned slightly serious. She frowned and said, "I don't completely believe the information Alice provided. She might be saying this on purpose to buy herself a chance to survive. But this is a clue that we've finally found, and I think I have to find a way to investigate it thoroughly. At the very least, I need to know some information about the inner workings of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance."
But Gu Momo really didn't dare to think about what happened next.
If this is a trap set for her by Alice and the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, she might not mind going through it.
But what if her elder brother is really connected to the Emperor-Slaying Alliance? How will she face such a brother then?
Li Zhanting held Gu Momo's hand tightly and comforted her, "Let's discuss this matter further. No matter what Alice says, I believe that my brother is definitely not that kind of person. We'll investigate slowly and eventually find out the truth."
"Well, that's all we can think of for now." Gu Momo frowned anxiously.
Just then, a subordinate rushed over from nearby: "Master Ting! Miss Momo, a message has come from the Queen!"
"As expected, William's informant reported to the Emperor-Slaying Alliance when the internal strife broke out within the William family! Just as Master Ting predicted, the Emperor-Slaying Alliance sent a large number of people to reinforce the William family. Their people were just about to enter Y country when they were attacked by the Queen's pre-positioned forces! Now the two sides are locked in a fierce battle, waiting for good news from the Queen!"
A knowing glint flashed in both Li Zhanting's and Gu Momo's eyes. Li Zhanting immediately asked:
"How many people from the Emperor-Slaying Alliance have come? What's the situation on both sides?"
The subordinate, panting heavily, raised his voice excitedly: "There are quite a few people, both in the shadows and in the open. The two sides are currently locked in a chaotic battle. I'm afraid the Emperor-Slaying Alliance has mobilized at least most of its forces, and I've even heard that the Alliance Leader has been dispatched!"
"What?" Gu Momo and Li Zhanting looked at each other, both of them seeing shock in each other's eyes.
They had long anticipated that the William family's actions would prompt the Emperor-Slaying Alliance to mobilize its entire force, but they never expected that the Alliance's leader would actually make an appearance!
"How strange!" A sharp, cold light flashed in Li Zhanting's deep eyes, and his handsome, cold face was filled with a chilling aura.
"Although the William family is the most important foundation of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance in Country Y, there is absolutely no need for the Alliance Leader to take such a great risk to come in person. There may be something we don't know about this!"
"Yes, this is very unusual!" A hint of doubt appeared on Gu Momo's usually cool face, and she then gave the order:
"Report the situation on the scene immediately, in as much detail as possible!"
"yes!"
The subordinates immediately led Gu Momo and Li Zhanting to the royal monitoring room, where various instruments were operating at high speed.
The surveillance footage accurately depicted the battle between the Emperor-Slaying Alliance and Country Y, showing the scene as a massive battlefield!
Although the Queen personally orchestrated events in Country Y and they gained the upper hand on several occasions, they ultimately underestimated the strength of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance.
Gu Momo's gaze grew colder and colder, and she commanded almost without hesitation, "Go and inform the William family's subordinates to fully support the Queen. If they win, they can return and atone for their sins! Of course, if anyone joins the Emperor-Killing Alliance in the chaos, they can forget about ever returning! Because the poison in their bodies still needs my antidote!"
Upon receiving the order, the subordinate quickly replied, "Yes!"
"MoMo, I suddenly thought of something very important!" A dark light flashed in Li Zhanting's dark eyes. "Judging from the current situation, the Emperor-Slaying Alliance has indeed mobilized all its forces, and its internal defenses must be weak. But the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance is always cautious. Would he really be so carefree as to leave his rear vulnerable?"
Gu Momo also accurately grasped Li Zhanting's meaning: "So you mean that the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance might have other plans?"
"Yes!" A cold smile appeared in Li Zhanting's eyes. "The leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance is a meticulous person. He absolutely cannot allow his rear to be empty. He is showing up with so many people on the surface. He must be plotting something."
These words silenced Gu Momo. What exactly was the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance plotting with all this trouble?
Was it a scheme to harm her and Li Zhanting?
But the leader of the Emperor Killing Alliance should have thought that she and Li Zhanting wouldn't be stupid enough to rush straight to the Emperor Killing Alliance headquarters now, right?
Therefore, the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance must have other plans for going to such great lengths!
As the two were deep in thought, suddenly, a piercing scream came from outside the monitoring room: "Ah, a snake! Help! There's a snake!"
