Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Hong Dingtian: Abandon the Attempt to Kill Xiao Ye! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)Hong Family Clan Land, the villa where the Young Master Hong resides. Hong Tao received a progress message from the leader of the task force, a man in grey clothing. [First step of the mission successful, second step successful, third step successful, we have entered the fourth phase of assassination, the fourth step is about to succeed!] "Hehehe!" Hong Tao laughed contemptuously, "Xiao Ye, oh Xiao Ye, this time, you’re certain to die." "After all the trouble we’ve gone through, from the Maid Tavern, to campus violence, to the trials at the Underground Crystal Mine, you are finally going to fall into my hands!" Seeing him so happy, the 300-pound Contractor couldn’t help but laugh as well, sitting on his lap like a Skin Drum, she asked, "Is that little thief dead?" Hong Tao’s legs were nearly crushed, and he propped up the 300-pound Contractor to get her off. "Not dead yet, but he’s doomed. The assassination plan has already reached the final stage. Unless something unexpected happens, no, there will be no accidents – he’s certain to die!" "No, how did you get even fatter? You must be 350 pounds now." He said in disbelief. The 350-pound Contractor glared at him fiercely, complaining, "It’s because of the last time in the Secret Realm, failing to acquire the Life and Destruction Materials, which caused my sudden weight gain to go unchecked." Hong Tao consoled her, "No worries, in a few days I will go purchase those two materials from the Queen of Kunpeng." The 300-pound Contractor, "But if that little thief dies within our territory, will the Queen of Kunpeng sell to you?" Hong Tao’s expression darkened; he really hadn’t considered this problem. The 300-pound Contractor’s face swelled with anger, her entire weight pressed upon him almost causing him to collapse, "I don’t care, you must get those two materials, even if it costs a great deal!" "Of course! Of course!" Hong Tao hurriedly agreed, "I’ll send Yang Junming to go; he’s the Son of the Supreme Titan, the Queen of Kunpeng should not refuse him." The 300-pound Contractor’s anger dissipated, and her mood improved. At this moment, both of them were in high spirits, preparing to celebrate the success of the plan, therefore they ordered a feast with good wine and good food, intending to drink merrily. After all was arranged, Hong Tao and the 300-pound Contractor raised their small wine glasses, clinked them together, and joyfully said: "To this glass, let us celebrate..." Before they could finish their sentence, however, a figure with a chaotic aura and disheveled appearance burst through the door, appearing in a flash before them. "Smack! Smack!" Their wine glasses were knocked out of their hands, shattering on the floor, spilling wine everywhere. Hong Tao was furious, "Who is this! How dare you run wild in Hong Family Clan Land!" The 350-pound Contractor, "You dirty beggar, you’re done for!" Before they could see who the newcomer was, they saw he was ragged and charging furiously, cursing loudly. Hong Dingtian snorted coldly: "Humph! What of it if I stir up trouble in Hong Family Clan Land?" Hong Tao finally recognized the newcomer and heard his voice—it was his father! Hong Tao was shocked, "Father, it’s you!" "What are you doing looking so disheveled; we thought you were a beggar." Meeting the Supreme, the 350-pound Contractor’s attitude softened and she said sullenly, "Father, I didn’t see clearly just now; I didn’t know it was you." Hong Tao stood up from the seat of honor and pulled Hong Dingtian to take a seat, smiling: "Father, what a coincidence you’ve come. Let’s celebrate together!" The 350-pound Contractor wore a smile on her face, "Right, for such a grand occasion, we must all celebrate together!" A grand occasion? Hong Dingtian took a seat, somewhat skeptical and somberly said: "Xiao Tao, do you realize how much loss your plan has caused the Hong Family? The entire Elf Clan Land has been captured by the Queen of Kunpeng!" "The Elf Clan Land is our family’s hidden asset; losing it would reduce the Hong family’s harvest by at least forty to fifty percent!" Hong Tao and the other person were instantly stunned upon hearing this. They knew that the Elf Clan Land was under the control of the Hong family and had visited the Elf Clan Land themselves and met the Elf King. Hong Tao frowned: "Father, what does my plan have to do with the Elf Clan Land?" "As a Supreme of Kunpeng, she recklessly meddles with the properties of other Supremes without any concern, isn’t she afraid of the Supreme Alliance’s sanctions?" Hong Dingtian let out a cold snort, "Your assassination plan has leaked... The Hong family striking against the Supreme of Kunpeng, and her retaliation, are a private feud between the two families. Even if we report it to the Supreme Alliance, it will not end in our favor." Hong Dingtian simplified the situation for them. Hong Tao was struck dumb as if by thunder, the plan had actually leaked! "Wait a minute! The assassination plan was already at its final step; Xiao Ye should have been eliminated by now! We were celebrating the success of the plan." Hearing this, Hong Dingtian was inwardly shocked, and his face changed drastically, "Xiao Ye has been killed?" His tone was panicked, and his expression horribly gloomy. "Hong Tao, do you realize what Xiao Ye’s death signifies?" "It means the Supreme of Kunpeng will become completely hostile towards the Hong family, and both parties will be drawn into an inextricable conflict!" "Hong Tao, oh Hong Tao, are you trying to plunge the Hong family into an abyss?" Hong Tao and the other person were also alarmed upon hearing this, their faces showing panic. The Kunpeng had two Supremes, one top-tier Supreme and one high-tier Supreme, both ranking in the forefront among the Top Ten Supreme of Modu, known as the Double Kings of Kunpeng and honored as the Queen of Kunpeng.

Especially the top-tier Supreme Yun Xi, who was ranked first among the Top Ten Supremes of Modu in terms of combat power, a Supreme with a spatial attribute who could even be invincible among her peers. The Earth Bear King top-tier Supreme, the spouse of Hong Dingtian, was ranked third. The City Lord of the City Lord Mansion was second. Amidst his panic, Hong Tao asked, "Xiao Ye is just a student from Kunpeng Academy, and he only has a simple mentor-student relationship with the headmaster of Kunpeng Supreme Institute; his death wouldn’t be enough to anger the Supreme of Kunpeng and make her turn against the Hong family, would it?" Recalling the words Yun Xi said to him, an angry Hong Dingtian retorted: "Nonsense mentor-student relationship, I suspect Xiao Ye is either the illegitimate child of the Supreme of Kunpeng or a kept male companion by the Supreme of Kunpeng." "Are you sure that kid Xiao Ye is dead?" "Not yet certain, let me check." Hong Tao took out a communicator and dialed the man in grey, but was greeted by a busy signal. The man in grey’s phone was unreachable, and Hong Tao found several numbers from the records and dialed them; they were the contacts of the mission executors, and all returned busy signals, with not a single one connecting. This meant that they had perished. "Ha ha ha!" Hong Tao realized something, and instead of feeling sad, he was amused: "The plan didn’t succeed, Xiao Ye wasn’t killed!" Hong Dingtian breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as the kid isn’t dead, that’s fine. Even though we’ve lost the Elf Clan Land, the Underground Crystal Mine is still intact. If we cultivate the elves from within the Crystal Mine, we can still develop it into another Elf Clan Land." Hong Tao and the other person nodded. He warned Hong Tao, "Remember, the Hong family must give up on assassinating Xiao Ye from now on, whether in the open or in secret, and not even use others as a tool to do so. In other words, give up in the literal sense—completely abandon the idea." Hong Tao understood the dangers and agreed. The 350-pound fat woman was very frustrated and miserable but had to nod in agreement. "Report!" A voice called from outside, and then an intelligence officer rushed in hurriedly. "The entire Underground Crystal Mine has collapsed, the ground has sunk nearly a hundred meters. Our dispatched investigators have found that the entire Crystal Mine has turned to ashes, with the mine caverns completely gone, covered by ordinary rocks." Hong Dingtian and the three were as if struck by lightning.
