Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 313

After hearing this, the elders all nodded in agreement. Finally, after some discussion, the Harik family decided to send out the family's elite intelligence personnel to investigate the background and strength of Brigitte and her master. Before getting accurate information, the cooperation was temporarily put on hold.

At this time, Brigitte returned to the inn and reported the meeting with the head of the Norton family in detail to Chen Yao and Qian Renxue.

After hearing this, Chen Yao smiled and said.

"It's as expected, but now the Harik family has reached a dead end. No top leader in the Sun Moon Empire will allow the Harik family to continue to grow and become the new top nobles in Sun Moon City and share a piece of the pie with them, so they can only look for an external force like us to break the impasse."

"So just be patient and wait. It won't be long before they can't wait to come to you."

Just as Chen Yao expected, a few days later, the Harik family indeed sent an envoy to the inn to invite Brigitte to have a chat. Brigitte tidied her clothes and went to the Harik family with a confident smile.

When she arrived at the door, she asked the guard to inform him, but time passed by and there was still no news.

She did not receive the grand welcome from the Norton clan leader, but instead a dandy in brocade clothes. The brocade clothes were embroidered with gorgeous patterns and made of the finest silk. They sparkled brightly in the sun, but on him, they looked extremely tacky.

He behaved frivolously and walked towards her with a swagger, a disgusting smile on his face. His fiery eyes were like those of a greedy wolf, constantly scanning Brigitte's body, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

"Hey, isn't this the beauty from that day? Why did you come to see me today?"

As the dandy boy spoke, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Brigitte's face.

The anger in Brigitte's heart was instantly ignited, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, like a meteor across the night sky, with endless murderous intent. She did not hesitate at all and punched out, this punch contained her endless anger and powerful soul power.

However, what surprised Brigitte was that the dandy young man reacted extremely quickly. He seemed to have been prepared and immediately took a defensive stance, activating his soul power instantly.

The soul power around him surged, forming a layer of light, like a protective shield covering him. His strength was not weak, and he had the strength of a five-ring soul king.

But in front of Brigitte, his so-called strength was nothing more than a firefly competing with the bright moon.

When Biji punched out, the soul power in the air surged violently like surging waves. The surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be shocked by this powerful force and changed color instantly.

The originally blue sky was now covered by a layer of haze, as if the end of the world was approaching.

Not to mention the dude, even the street behind him and the gate of the Harik family collapsed instantly under the impact of this powerful force.

The solid walls collapsed like fragile cards, raising clouds of dust.

Cracks also appeared on the ground, like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast, as if it wanted to swallow everything.

The dandy young man was hit by the aftermath of the punch, and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, drawing a sharp arc in the air, and fell heavily into the ruins in the distance.

The guards of the Harik family were all horrified when they saw this.

For a moment, the entire Harik family's mansion was in chaos, and the guards ran around in panic, shouting for help.

Brigitte stood there, her expression stern, like an unshakable iceberg. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes, and she looked at the mess in front of her with a sneer on her face.

"Humph, you dare to be rude to me?"

Brigitte said coldly, her voice echoing over the ruins with endless majesty.

At this time, people who heard the noise outside rushed to the Harrick family's mansion. Harrick Norton was among them. When he saw the scene in front of him, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"How is this going?"

The head of the Norton family asked angrily, his eyes flicking back and forth between the ruins and Brigitte.

The dandy young man struggled to get up from the ruins. Although he looked disheveled, he kept shouting.

"Master, this woman is too arrogant. I was just joking with her and she started beating me up."

Brigitte sneered and said.

"Are you kidding? I am here to discuss something under the orders of my master. Just based on your actions just now, you deserve to die. Even the Harik family can't save you. Do you believe it?"

Brigitte's words showed that she didn't take the Harrick family seriously at all, but Patriarch Norton seemed not to have heard it. Instead, he glared at the playboy and said, "Why don't you apologize to Miss Brigitte now!"

Although the dandy boy was unwilling, he dared not say anything under the majesty of the head of the Norton family. He could only step forward reluctantly and apologize to Brigitte.

"Ms. Brigitte, I'm really sorry. This is our family's fault. I hope you don't mind."

Patriarch Norton said with an apologetic look on his face.

Brigitte looked deeply at the head of the Norton family. She knew that with the importance the Harrick family attached to her previous visit, such a mistake would not have occurred. The reason for today's incident was to test the strength of her side.

“I hope this won’t happen again.”

Brigitte didn't expose it, but just said it coldly.

"Otherwise, our cooperation would not be so easy."

The head of the Norton family nodded quickly, saying that he would punish the dandy boy severely and promised that such a situation would not happen again. He then invited Brigitte to enter the mansion to continue discussing cooperation matters.

Entering the mansion, Brigitte found that the atmosphere inside had become particularly depressing.

The once bustling courtyard was now dead silent, with only the wind blowing through the ruins and the dust rustling. Under the corridor, a few soul guide lamps emitted a pale light, appearing to be shaky in this depressing atmosphere.

The head of the Norton family led the way. His steps were heavy and quick, and every step seemed to crush the anxiety in his heart.

Brigitte followed behind him, her eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly. Although the soul power around her was restrained, she still exuded an aura that made people dare not approach easily.

Arriving at the reception room last time, the layout of the room was no different from before, but the air was filled with tension and embarrassment. The head of the Norton family asked Brigitte to sit down, and he also sat down opposite. His hands unconsciously clenched the armrests, trying to hide his inner panic.

"Ms. Brigitte, I'm really sorry. My family didn't discipline you strictly and you have been wronged."

Patriarch Norton apologized again, the guilt on his face becoming more intense.

Brigitte nodded slightly, without further inquiry, and went straight to the point.

"Master Norton, I hope we can discuss cooperation as soon as possible."

Patriarch Norton nodded quickly and was about to speak when the door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open. An elder ran in with a panicked look and whispered something in Patriarch Norton's ear.

The face of the head of the Norton family turned pale in an instant. He looked at Brigitte, his eyes full of helplessness and anxiety. "Ms. Brigitte, I'm really sorry, but the family suddenly had some urgent matters. I'm afraid we can't continue to discuss cooperation today."

Patriarch Norton stood up and said apologetically.

There was a flash of coldness in Brigitte's eyes, but she didn't say much. She stood up and spoke lightly.

"In that case, let's discuss it at another time."

After leaving the Harik family, Brigitte went straight back to the inn. Chen Yao and Qian Renxue were waiting in the room, and when they saw Brigitte coming back, they immediately looked over.

Brigitte recounted in detail what happened today and how the head of the Norton family suddenly had to interrupt the discussion due to something.

After hearing this, Chen Yao raised his eyebrows, then shook his head and chuckled.

"It seems that the Harik family is really a thorn in the eyes of the powerful people in Sun Moon City. They have been keeping a low profile for so long, but they are not going to let them go and are keeping a close watch on them."

Qian Renxue interjected.

"So there are other forces behind this? They don't want to see the Harik family cooperate with us."

Chen Yao nodded and analyzed.

“The top families in Sun Moon City should have already been keeping an eye on the Harik Family. They will not sit idly by and watch the Harik Family rise.

But if you ruin our business, you will have to pay a price. Ziji, go find out which forces are behind this and get rid of them."

At the same time, in the Harik family, Patriarch Norton was having an urgent discussion with several elders.

It turned out that an important business base of the family in Sun Moon City was suddenly attacked by unknown forces, causing heavy losses.

Several elders believed that this was a warning from other families, telling them not to easily cooperate with external forces.

"Master, it's obvious that someone doesn't want us to cooperate with the forces behind Brigitte. Should we reconsider this?"

An elder said worriedly.

The face of the head of the Norton family was gloomy. He slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.

"Can't you see that? Those bastards are watching us like prisoners. Today they are warning us, but tomorrow they will break into our house. When has my Harik family ever been humiliated like this? Are we going to be suppressed forever? This cooperation may be our chance to turn things around. We can't give up easily."

After a heated debate, the head of the Norton family finally decided to stabilize the family first and speed up the investigation into Brigitte's background. Once it was confirmed that the other party had sufficient strength, he would immediately start cooperation.

A few days later, Zi Ji brought back important news. She learned that the attack on the Harrick family was carried out by the Malfoy family, an old family in Sun Moon City.

Behind the Malfoy family is the power from Sun Moon City.

When Chen Yao heard the news, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of a sneer.

"Sun Moon City is still too far away, but there is no need for this Malfoy family to exist."

……

The night fell like a thick black cloth, weighing heavily on the land of the Sun and Moon Continent.

Ziji's figure loomed in the night, like a ghost from the dark abyss, sneaking silently towards the Malfoy family's mansion. Her eyes flickered with a cold light, just like the eyes of a wolf in the cold night, full of vigilance and murderous intent.

The Malfoy family's mansion was surrounded by a tall and thick wall, with sharp soul-guiding blades inlaid on the top of the wall, flashing a cold light under the moonlight.

The gate of the mansion was made of solid black iron and engraved with the Malfoy family crest, a black bat with its wings spread out as if about to fly, exuding a mysterious and evil aura.

The guards at the door stood tall and straight, wearing heavy armor and holding spears that emitted fluctuations of soul power, like two unshakable door gods.

Zi Ji narrowed her eyes slightly, and her aura became colder. She slowly raised her hands, and in her palms, the dark green soul power began to condense like a surging flame.

That soul power contained a rich life force, but also carried a deadly poison, like a mandala blooming in the darkness, beautiful yet dangerous.

"go with!"

Zi Ji shouted softly, and the dark green soul power in her palm shot towards the guards like a whistling cannonball. The soul power drew dark green tracks in the air, like a wound torn in the night sky.

The guards sensed the danger and raised their guns to block it. However, Zi Ji's soul attack was unstoppable and instantly broke through their defenses. The guards' bodies were like a pile of rags, thrown out by the powerful force and hit the gate of the mansion heavily, making a dull sound.

Under the impact, the door shook violently, making a painful creaking sound.

Zi Ji took advantage of the situation and moved forward. Her figure was like a flash of black lightning and she instantly arrived in front of the gate.

She slammed her hands on the door, and dark green soul power poured into the door like a surging tide.

With a loud bang, the solid black iron door shattered in an instant like fragile glass, turning into countless fragments that flew everywhere.

As the door was broken, the scene inside the Malfoy family mansion came into Ziji's sight.

In the spacious courtyard, various rare flowers and plants are planted. At this moment, they are trembling in the night wind, as if wailing for the impending disaster.

In the center of the courtyard stands a magnificent main building, which is brightly lit and filled with shadows of people.

Zi Ji did not hesitate at all. Her figure passed through the courtyard like a ghost and ran towards the main building.

Along the way, guards of the Malfoy family kept pouring out, holding weapons and rushing towards Zi Ji.

Zi Ji snorted coldly, and her soul power instantly exploded, forming a huge dark green halo that blew away all the guards around her.

The guards drew arcs in the air, then fell heavily to the ground, screaming in pain. At this moment, the scene in the courtyard looked extremely tragic, like a purgatory.

Arriving in front of the main building, Zi Ji looked up and saw several figures standing on the roof, led by a middle-aged man with a stern face and arrogance and anger in his eyes.

This person is the head of the Malfoy family.

"Who are you? Why did you break into my Malfoy family?"

The middle-aged man shouted angrily.
