"But she's come for revenge. What are we going to do now?" Luo Xue asked with a worried expression. "So many things have happened, she will definitely not let you off the hook."

"And even the Demon Extermination Guild Master couldn't defeat her, so who else could?"

"How about... I return her heart?" In the end, Luo Xue said these words, "Perhaps this will give us a chance to end this farce. I wasn't going to live much longer anyway, and it's enough that I've lived this long."

Luo Tiankuo gently shook his head: "Xue'er, with her current attitude, even if you return the heart, she will not let me and Jiang Yu go."

“She made her stance clear before: first torture us, then take our lives, and then take our hearts back from you. She won’t give us any way out,” Jiang Yu added. “If there’s any room for negotiation, we’re willing to compensate her in other ways.”

"Therefore, there is almost no way to salvage this situation. We only have one path to face: to fight to the end." Luo Tiankuo's calm voice resonated in Luo Xue's heart. "Either she dies, or we die."

"And judging from her attitude, she not only wants us dead, but she'll probably also make this public," Jiang Yu added. "Then it won't just be us who will be affected; the rest of the Luo and Jiang families will be affected too. Blame it on us for thinking of saving you, which led us to come up with such a stupid plan, completely disregarding the consequences. But given the situation at the time, we didn't think that much; we just wanted to save you."

"But the thought of so many people being dragged into this, and the potential consequences, makes me feel guilty. It's one thing for us, but what about Uncle Luo, Aunt Luo, and my parents? What will they do then?"

“Xue’er, this is not something we can just let go of now.” Luo Tiankuo walked up to Luo Xue, gently patted her shoulder, and lowered his voice, “We made a mistake, and there’s no going back. But if we don’t fight back, it will implicate our parents and the Jiang family. So, we have no choice but to fight back and eliminate her to resolve this matter completely.”

“I know you feel bad about this. If possible, we also hope that both sides can negotiate and meet some of the conditions proposed by the other side to reduce the impact of this matter.”

Luo Xue was in a state of utter confusion, her thoughts in disarray.

She thought that returning the heart would solve the problem, but now she realized it wasn't that simple. Not only would the mastermind face retaliation, but many more people would be implicated, and she felt a sense of despair.

Deep down, she didn't want Luo Tiankuo and Jiang Yu to get into trouble, and she didn't want to see the rest of the Luo and Jiang families involved. She knew perfectly well that the girl who suffered this undeserved misfortune was the most innocent one.

Now that the other party has become unidentifiable, it is only natural that they would retaliate against the culprits.

However, she could not bear the consequences.

Her heart was slowly leaning towards her foster brother's words; it seemed that this was the only choice she had.

She didn't want to see her adoptive brother and childhood sweetheart die, and she didn't want to see anything happen to her family.

Therefore, this is the only way to resolve the matter.

"But can we resist?" Luo Xue asked hesitantly. "Didn't you say she was very strong?"

“Although the president of the Demon Extermination Alliance didn’t fare well this time, the fact that he dared to take on this matter means he must have some trump cards up his sleeve,” Luo Tiankuo said with certainty. “He has been the president of the Demon Extermination Alliance for so many years, he can’t possibly be completely without any resources. The fact that he was willing to come to our Luo family to recuperate proves that he has his own plans.”

"We don't need to do anything, and we can't do anything. We just need to listen to Chairman Ning." Luo Tiankuo's tone was more relaxed when he spoke.

Compared to that unspeakable figure who could cause trouble at any moment, his biggest worry was persuading Xue'er. If she insisted on using herself to atone for her sins, no matter how well-prepared they were, it would be useless. Fortunately, they knew Xue'er well enough to know that she would never stand idly by and watch so many people get involved.

Now that she has relented, they will no longer have so many concerns and can simply listen to Chairman Ning.

"Is killing her really the only option?" Luo Xue asked, clinging to a sliver of hope. "Can't we just arrest her and lock her up, or send her to be reincarnated?"

"I'm sorry, Xue'er, it's all because we were too selfish and put such a heavy burden on you." Jiang Yu held Luo Xue's hand, his face full of apology. "Right now, the main problem is that we don't know what cards Chairman Ning has up his sleeve. When a fight really breaks out, the situation won't be up to us. If Chairman Ning can really capture her, then we can discuss what to do. But if he can't capture her, and both sides fight to the death, then it's all up to fate. If Chairman Ning uses his trump card and we still can't win, then I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape unscathed."

Luo Xue's heart tightened, and she finally let out a deep sigh.

"Did she tell us her identity? If we knew her identity, perhaps she would still care about the living. We can do something to at least ease her mind a little."

Luo Tiankuo shook his head: "She hasn't mentioned it, and she doesn't seem to want to."

He thought to himself, if that unspeakable person had mentioned their identity and was still concerned about the living, they wouldn't have seemed so passive.

“If we meet again, I’ll ask her. No matter what, I want to do something for her,” Luo Xue said.

Luo Tiankuo and Jiang Yu naturally agreed.

If we can uncover that unspeakable identity, things might take a different turn.

Before the Unspeakable appeared, they weren't really that concerned about investigating her true identity. There were professionals who were supposed to handle this matter, but they hadn't been able to find out, so there was nothing they could do.

But after the inexplicable events, they spent a lot of effort trying to find her identity, but to no avail, as if such a person did not exist in this world at all.

The main problem is that several months have passed, and many traces have disappeared, making it extremely difficult to find any traces in the surveillance footage.

In the living room, A-Zhuang and the others were being warmly received by the servants of the Luo family villa.

"In that case, those of us who haven't provoked her shouldn't be targeted?" Yin Xuan asked Chu Ling, since he was the vice president of the Demon Extermination Alliance, and his words were credible.

I asked this question to put my mind at ease.

Even though the Unspeakable had never appeared in front of them before, they had witnessed the consequences of provoking the Unspeakable today, and they were still a little worried.

"In my opinion, as long as you don't provoke her, she won't involve innocent people. She's appeared several times already, and it seems she didn't intend to drag you into this."

"For safety's sake, you shouldn't speak ill of them." (End of Chapter)
