Chapter 594 Mental Breakdown, Unmasking Again [2 Updates]
Originally, the extreme fear was pressing on their nerves, and the elders couldn't listen to anything they were told.
His body was trembling uncontrollably.
Having already been terrified by Devil, he was now imprisoned by the Laurent family.
Furthermore, the person who led the mercenaries was none other than the mysterious ruler of the Laurent family, a figure who had not appeared for a century.
The elders of the Patch family are all on the verge of insanity.
But this name seemed to awaken something; the elders all shuddered and looked up in disbelief.
Completely different from outsiders.
People from the Patch family naturally need to know the entire history of the Patch family.
It is not the embellished and processed version written in history books, but the true history.
Caesar Laurent, a man in history who struck fear into the hearts of the Pazzi family.
To become the undisputed ruler of the Laurent family, Caesar's methods are certainly not lacking.
In the 18th century, Vincent was indeed formidable, but Caesar later surpassed him and was even younger.
The young man on the throne...
It must be a case of the same name!
wrong.
The Third Elder suddenly shuddered again, staring blankly at the young man.
It's one thing to share a name with other family heads, but what level of existence is Xize to the Laurent family?
Would any parent dare to name their child the same as him?
The elders did not remain puzzled for long.
“There is karma in this world.” Caesar rolled up his sleeves and smiled again. “Otherwise, how come Vincent sent people to assassinate me so many times, and I’m still alive while he was eaten by crows and eagles?”
"!"
These words struck like a thunderbolt, exploding in the ears of the elders.
The second elder's eyes widened instantly, his gaze almost bursting: "You, you really are—"
It's not just a coincidence of names; it's César Laurent, the king of Florence in the 18th century!
"No...it's impossible!" The Second Elder refused to believe it. "You're dead! You're definitely dead! The fortune teller also predicted your death!"
He was on the verge of a breakdown, and towards the end, he began to scream hysterically.
Moreover, if Caesar hadn't died, how could the entire Laurent family have retreated?!
It was during the nearly two hundred years since the Laurent family withdrew that the Pazzi family was able to grow in strength.
"Oh, sorry, I'm lucky to have someone back me up." Caesar clapped his hands. "Alright, I'm too lazy to say anything more to you guys, Job."
The only people in the Laurent family who knew his true identity were his personal servants at each and every one of them.
His identity can no longer be revealed to the world.
That would cause panic.
Job walked in, holding a syringe, and quickly gave each elder an injection.
As a servant of Caesar, one must be all-around capable in these daily service matters.
“Move it.” Xize stood up. “Take a picture and send it to the person who posted the bounty, then we won’t give them the prey.”
Anyway, as long as they die, that's fine.
Job lowered his voice: "Master, these people were dealt with by Devil. You also saw the video that the drone just transmitted. If he breaks into the Laurent family, we won't be able to stop him."
Upon hearing this, Xize fell into deep thought.
His body only recovered in the last few days, so he really can't beat him.
Even if he were in good health, judging from Devil's ability to withstand artillery fire single-handedly, he would have no chance of winning.
Ancient martial arts practitioners are truly terrifying; it's hard to imagine how many ancient martial arts practitioners are on the same level as Devil.
I don't know if Norton will work.
This guy is pretty violent.
Unfortunately, he couldn't get in touch with this madman.
Xize took out his phone: "Let me ask the boss."
[Loves Money But Also Loves the Boss]: Boss, can you beat Devil? If you can, I'll leave him here for you and keep him tied up for a while.
O Continent has more than one option for dealing with ancient martial arts practitioners: high-tech weapons.
Alchemy is also an option.
However, even alchemy cannot kill an ancient martial artist with such high cultivation.
Devil's ancient martial arts skills are completely unfathomable to those on the O Continent, as there is still very little information available.
Those ancestors with two or three hundred years of cultivation are all in seclusion in the ancient martial arts world. Who would come to O Continent for no reason?
To his surprise, the other side replied with a straightforward six words.
If you can't beat them, give up.
Nishizawa: "..."
He glanced at the elders on the ground with some regret, as if he could see pieces of gold floating past his eyes.
He then turned to Job and said, "Then kill him and hand him over to Devil."
**
Ying Zijing put away her phone and walked out.
To the side, Fu Yunshen leaned against the wall with his legs bent.
He raised his phone, his peach blossom eyes curving into a smile: "The Laurent family certainly knows how to take advantage."
Ying Zijing ate a piece of chocolate: "Hmm? I didn't give you the prey?"
"I've given it to them. I'll have them deliver the goods for me." Fu Yunshen said casually. "The bounty has already shown as under review. It should arrive by tomorrow at the latest. Here you go."
The Venus Group has collaborated with the Laurent family several times, and the Laurent family does have some credibility.
He was too lazy to go back again.
Ying Zijing nodded slightly: "That's fine as long as you give it to me."
She believed that, given Caesar's style, once the bounty was in his hands, he would exchange it for gold and then use it to pave a road.
"Today we've witnessed history." Fu Yunshen looked up at the night sky and smiled. "This castle will soon change hands."
During the Middle Ages, O Continent was in a state of great chaos, comparable to the ancient martial arts world today.
Many families were wiped out, while many others were established.
No one expected that the Pazzi family, with a history of seven or eight hundred years, would announce its demise today.
With the elders wiped out, the Patch family's highest level of combat power was also defeated.
Without their military strength, let alone the Laurent family, even the Pazzi family, one of the other three major financial groups, would be powerless to resist them.
Even if the Laurent family doesn't come tonight, the other three major conglomerates will send people to divide up the Pazzi family.
The real trigger, who would have thought, was simply that the trainees sent by Times Media to "Youth 303" discovered Yun and Yue's genders, and then colluded with marketing accounts and online trolls to stir up trouble on Weibo.
Even Xize wouldn't have expected this.
A tiny butterfly flapping its wings can cause a storm.
**
The Laurent family acted swiftly, resolving all the problems left behind by the Pazzi family in just three days.
The company that was forcibly acquired was returned.
Those exploited servants were all released and reassigned to other positions.
The Laurent family did not take any action against the other members of the Pazzi family, acting in accordance with the law.
Without power, there is no way to oppress others.
News of this event, which was no less significant than a world war, naturally spread rapidly throughout the world.
As a pioneer in internet surfing, Mr. Zhong already knew about it.
[The Trendiest Older Man]: Zijing, have you seen the news? The Pazzi family is gone. I heard from your secretary that you were there that night. Could it be that the Laurent family and the Pazzi family fought over you?
Ying Zijin pressed her head.
Although the destruction of the Patch family was indeed related to her, Old Master Zhong's idea was truly absurd.
Was she Cleopatra?
Grandpa, you're overthinking it.
[The Trendiest Older Man]: Yeah, sigh, I guess I just have a vivid imagination. Anyway, it's good that you're okay. Let's just treat this kind of thing like watching a movie.
No sooner had Grandpa Zhong sent that message than another WeChat message came in.
[Loves Money and Boss]: Boss, look, I can make a movie about the feud between me and the Patch family. I'm sure people will love it. I've already spoken to Huanying. Another partner is your company. We'll make money together.
[Loves Money and Boss]: Boss, am I really awesome?
Ying Zijin: "..."
She felt that Caesar and her grandfather might have some common ground.
**
The world of ancient martial arts.
The Xie family.
Although the ancient martial arts world is closed off from the outside world, the four major financial groups of O Continent, as enemies of equal standing, certainly cannot ignore it.
This is the Xie family's only computer, and it's with the Second Elder.
Watching the video of Devil storming the Patch family on the computer, the faces of the Xie family head and several elders twitched slightly.
The people in O continent believe that Devil is in disguise, but in reality, he is definitely over a hundred years old.
However, they are different despite being practitioners of ancient martial arts.
They could tell that Devil was very young, no more than thirty years old.
What does it mean to be a martial arts master under the age of thirty?
The elder and the Xie family head looked at each other for a while and then fell silent.
After a long pause, the Xie family head pondered for a moment before speaking, "Second Elder, do you think he might be 'Shadow'?"
The young master of the Martial Arts Alliance is only stronger than Yue Fuyi.
He's at most a half-step master of ancient martial arts, definitely not capable of withstanding bullets.
The Lin, Xie, and Yue families definitely do not have any younger generation members with such high cultivation levels.
The Second Elder narrowed his eyes: "No need to look. Just go to the Judicial Hall and see if he's there."
They finally found a reason to expel Shadow from the court of justice, or even to kill him outright.
Please give me a monthly pass, see you tomorrow!
