"You've been fooled."

When Stone heard Lu Ban's words, the expression on his face paused.

"What are you talking about?"

"I mean, you were deceived. You couldn't possibly take over the Catania family. You were just used by that godfather."

Lu Ban said slowly.

The thug standing behind Stone looked over and stared at Lu Ban, his hand reaching into the inner pocket of his shirt and under his armpit, where the gun was.

"I don't understand you."

Stone didn't move, his previous emotions had been restrained, his eyes did not reflect any light, just like a deep lake that absorbed all the light.

"Mr. Corneone may have told you that his children are useless and he hopes that the family can have a better future, so he hopes to break the tradition of bloodline continuation and let a truly capable person take over as the leader of the family."

Lu Ban and Stone looked at each other and he said.

"So, it seems that he condoned your actions to eliminate the members of the Catania family, even including his own daughter. In fact, this was all the result of his guidance. Madam Martina is obviously not that important to the family."

Stone remained silent. The thugs behind him had already pulled out their pistols, but they didn't aim at Lu Ban. Instead, they were on guard around them.

"He wants you to believe that you can become the godfather of the family. He really appreciates your abilities and needs them. To maximize a person's abilities, he must be convinced that his efforts will pay off. He sees that you are not someone who is willing to be just a 'military advisor'. Therefore, for the benefit of his family and his son, Mr. Corneone will use you to eliminate other gangs and allow the Catania family to unify the underground world."

Lu Ban said, these were certainly not what he thought.

Lu Ban is a ruthless parrot.

This is what Trist thought after listening to Lu Ban's words.

"The first few people were fine, but when Mrs. Martina died, something went wrong."

"It's unreasonable for Madam Martina to stay in the house alone under such circumstances. She is a sociable person and a socialite. She should be happy to communicate at a banquet like that. Even if she had to pay Drizzt, she would not stay in the house alone for so long. I think she may have received an order from her father to stay in the house at that time."

"Thinking of this, it becomes clear why the godfather would kill his own daughter."

"Father cares about every one of his children. You are totally wrong."

Hearing Lu Ban's words, Stone suddenly smiled.

"Why don't you tell me how I killed Martina and those people?"

"The fight between the Sharp Knife Gang and the Catania Family resulted in the death of a young girl. The girl once had a cohabitant who survived and wanted to avenge the girl. Under certain circumstances, he transformed into a monster and possessed the power to make people bloom glass flowers."

Lu Ban said this and glanced at the thug.

"You convinced him, told him there were better ways to retaliate against the Catania family, better ways to torture his enemies."

"He killed Flora because she had bullied that girl before. And, perhaps because of Flora's betrayal, the Catania family was able to find the weakest moment of the Knife Gang and launch an attack. This is why, even though she was the woman of Tucker, the leader of the Knife Gang, the Catania family did not kill her off. Instead, she went to Dr. House for treatment."

"He killed Dr. House because he had violated the girl by selling drugs and pretended to be a good man. He also killed Dr. House because he had connections with the Catania family and had helped the gangster family."

"He killed McGee, a relative of the Catania family who had escaped punishment and the direct murderer of the girl's death."

"He killed Signora Martina, the little daughter of the godfather of the Catania family, and he thought this was the true beginning of revenge."

"He also tried to kill me, but unfortunately even the doctors said I was healthy and he was unsuccessful."

"You may not know that he is going to kill you in the end because he already knows that you are the culprit who caused the expansion of the Catania family and the conflict with the Sharp Knife Gang. This is also the work of the Godfather. When everything is settled, you will die from the glass flower. This case will become an unsolved case because one of the murderers has become a victim."

After saying this, Lu Ban materialized [Last Words] in his hand. Neither Stone nor the thugs could see this illusory revolver.

Lu Ban decisively shot at the thug.

Bang--

The thug collapsed instantly, his whole body twitching. The great being's muttering took away all his consciousness in just a moment.

Stone saw this and sighed.

"Most of what you said is correct, but unfortunately, there is one thing that is wrong."

As Stone spoke, Lu Ban felt a familiar sense of threat.

This feeling is like some scary hunter is staring at you, which is creepy.

"He's not an assassin."

Stone said without a smile.

"It is."

Lu Ban looked at the docile golden retriever.

The next moment, his internal organs were dragged out by a huge force, and the fragments of flesh, organs, and bones twisted, rotated, and solidified to form a huge glass flower.

However, this time, the glass flower did not break out of the body, but was forcibly suppressed by some force. Several small footprints appeared on Lu Ban's chest, gently but surely suppressing the changes.

Even so, a large amount of blood flowed from Lu Ban's facial features, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

The color of the golden retriever became colorful, and it turned into a mud-like form like melted chocolate. The colorful black made up its entire body, emitting bursts of foul smell. The mucus of the mud stuck to Lu Ban's body, shining brightly in the sun.

"Thank you for your hard work, Liz."

Stone's expression was somewhat complicated, like sadness and self-mockery.

The mud-like monster transformed itself into a golden-haired creature and rubbed Stone affectionately.

"He may be resurrected again, and we need to handle it properly."

Stone took the pistol from the thug who was lying on the ground, pointed it at Lu Ban's head, and prepared to pull the trigger.

The next moment, the floor beneath his feet suddenly swelled up.

Bang——

Wood chips flew, and Golden Retriever quickly turned into a mud-like monster, wrapping up Stone and blocking the impact.

Amid the explosion, a figure in armor jumped up.

"My house!"

Drizzt's voice then sounded. He was downstairs, looking up at the upper floors.

"Kill her."

Stone showed no mercy. He barked, and the golden retriever that turned into mud glanced at Xia.

Xia felt her internal organs churning, as if some force was trying to drag them out and carve them into that beautiful glass flower.

But the power was blocked, the spell barrier blocked the curse, causing the golden dog to whimper.

Seeing this, Stone didn't linger and immediately ran away with the golden dog.

For them, there is still real work to be done.
