Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Just after Ye Feng and the others left the Yingge Clubhouse, four or five cars quickly swooshed in.

Subsequently, the entire Yingge Clubhouse announced a shutdown, and the men and women inside were quite annoyed, after all, they were having a blast at the peak of their fun.

However, the owner of the Yingge Clubhouse grabbed a megaphone and shouted, "Anyone who doesn't want to die, stay here!"

At that, no one dared to even fart, and they scattered like birds and beasts instantly, then the entire clubhouse went on lockdown. Despite the crowd of onlookers still surrounding the place, murmuring among themselves, they had no idea what had happened, only speculating that someone must have died that night.

Soon, a coffee-colored stretch Lincoln slowly drove in. The previously chaotic parking lot instantly quietened down as people swiftly made way, and before long, many stewards from the Tian and Lu Families hurried over and stood respectfully by the side of the car.

First, a young man in a black suit got out from the passenger seat and then quickly jogged to the back to open the car door.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, a portly middle-aged man slowly stepped out of the car.

This portly middle-aged man was about in his forties, dressed in a loose robe, with a duckbill cap on his head, looking very ordinary. But those small, piercing eyes were extremely sharp, and his cold, expressionless face was filled with an air of solemnity.

"Three Alliance Leaders, you finally came. We need you to stand up for us on behalf of the Tian and Lu Families this time," a steward from the Tian Family said in a low voice as he stepped forward.

It turns out this portly middle-aged man was none other than the famously influential Third Alliance Leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance in East of the River. Of course, everyone only knew him as the Three Alliance Leaders, as to his real name, outsiders were not privy to that information.

The Three Alliance Leaders didn't say a word, nor did he even glance at the steward. He immediately stepped forward and walked inside, followed closely by eight agile figures clad in black Martial Arts Practice Clothes, all experts from the Jiangzuo Alliance.

The stewards of the Tian and Lu Families looked at each other, unclear about the thoughts of the Three Alliance Leaders. In the Jiangzuo Alliance, the Three Alliance Leaders always had the nickname Cold-faced Gentleman, with an icy face that masked an equally ruthless heart.

Although the Tian and Lu Families were affiliated with the Jiangzuo Alliance and handed over thirty percent of their annual business income profit for the Alliance's protection, their relationship wasn't as close as rumors suggested.

In fact, up until now, the Jiangzuo Alliance still exuded a mysterious aura, with no one knowing the true identities of the three leaders, and the Alliance itself didn't specifically operate any businesses. Yet, almost all prestigious households in East of the River, including Jiang City, would pay their respects to the Jiangzuo Alliance annually.

This fact alone demonstrated the terrifying influence of the Jiangzuo Alliance in East of the River!

The Cold-faced Gentleman, the Three Alliance Leaders, entered the Yingge Clubhouse with hands clasped behind his back, while the terrified owner of the Yingge Clubhouse stood tremblingly at the door, his face full of fear.

"Three Alliance Leaders, about this matter… we at Yingge truly had no clue about it, we didn't receive any forewarning, and it all happened so suddenly, by the time we knew, the person was already…"

Though it was already autumn, sweat drenched the face of the Yingge Clubhouse's owner, as he stutteringly said, "Three Alliance Leaders, this really wasn't Yingge's fault, please be discerning. Of course, any tasks you assign in the future, I shall undertake them through fire and water without hesitation."

The Cold-faced Gentleman continued forward, not even sparing him a glance.

After passing through the hall and turning down the corridor, the Three Alliance Leaders arrived in front of the private room where Ye Feng and his company had been earlier.

Four imposing men stood in front of the private room. The Three Alliance Leaders, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "No outsiders have entered here, have they?"

"Replying to the Three Alliance Leaders, no outsiders have entered since the incident, and nothing inside has been touched," one of the men in front of the door answered.

The Third Alliance Leader then nodded and said, "Everyone wait outside for me!"

His voice was very sharp and squeaky, which felt awkward to the ears, yet no one dared to disobey his order. After speaking, he pushed the door open and entered alone.

Everyone waited in the hallway, nearly every person afraid to even breathe out loud, quietly waiting.

It wasn't long, perhaps about five minutes later, when the Cold-faced Gentleman of the Jiangzuo Alliance came out from inside.

An elder in a Tang suit with grey hair and beard stepped forward slightly and asked, "How did it go, young master? Did you find out anything?"

The Cold-faced Gentleman, the Third Alliance Leader, frowned slightly and then said solemnly, "Inside, there are a total of eight people, of course, eight dead bodies!"

At this, the Cold-faced Gentleman, the Third Alliance Leader, let out a cold laugh and continued, "Among the eight, besides the two young masters from the Tian and Lu Families who are but sacks of wine and rice, the remaining six, in front of them all were Grandmasters."

The elder in the Tang suit was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Six Grandmasters, and they were all unable to beat the killer and got killed?"

"Killed? All six of them were struck down with a single blow!" the Third Alliance Leader said, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"A single blow to the kill? If all six were Grandmasters, their skills must have been outstanding. To be taken down in a single blow, the murderer's martial arts must be extraordinary!" the elder in the Tang suit revealed a shocked expression.

"Of course, at the very least, it would have to be a Huajin Grandmaster, and moreover, one experienced in the art of slaying in battle!" the Cold-faced Gentleman, the Third Alliance Leader, said this before once again turning and walking away with his hands behind his back.

The people from the Tian and Lu Families, upon seeing this, quickly followed and said, "Third Alliance Leader, then for this matter, your Jiangzuo Alliance..."

Before they could finish, the Cold-faced Gentleman interrupted sternly, "The Tian and Lu Families, you pay tribute every year, and always on time. Rest assured, since my Jiangzuo Alliance has accepted the tributes of the two families, we will not stand idly by. Although we won't exterminate their entire families, anyone who participated in the affair, I guarantee, won't live past three days!"

The managers of the Tian and Lu Families nodded continuously and cupped their hands in thanks, "Thank you, Jiangzuo Alliance; thank you, Third Alliance Leader, for taking charge for us!"

The Cold-faced Gentleman suddenly beckoned the owner of the Yingge Clubhouse and said, "Come here."

The owner of the Yingge Clubhouse immediately approached with trepidation and said, "What are your orders, Third Alliance Leader?"

The Third Alliance Leader sneered, "Eight people, dead in your Yingge Clubhouse, yet you are alive and well. I've heard that at the time of the incident, you were upstairs, holding two girls in your arms?"

Upon hearing this, the owner of the Yingge Clubhouse felt his heart sink, but before he could speak, the Third Alliance Leader immediately added, "You have half a day to prepare for what's to come. Of course, during this half-day, you can also choose to run away."

"Whether you can escape from East of the River depends on your own skills!" Saying this, the Cold-faced Gentleman patted his shoulder and then strolled off.

A look of utter despair and misery came over the face of the owner of the Yingge Clubhouse, his body involuntarily collapsing, as if his backbone had been extracted in an instant.

A single sentence from the Third Alliance Leader was tantamount to a direct death sentence for him.
