Chapter 64 The Yan Family Backed Down

Chapter 64 The Yan Family Backed Down
In the secluded alley, only the occasional dripping sound of an air conditioner unit could be heard. Aihara remained silent for a moment, then finally made up his mind and asked, "What did you see?"

Fu Wanghu raised his right hand and stretched it into a ray of sunlight. The light seemed to be distorted by him, revealing a vague illusion.

The light and shadow were blurred, and a half-human, half-dragon monster could be vaguely seen bound to the bed, its iron-gray dragon scales a shocking sight.

Aihara's pupils suddenly contracted, and he said softly, "The experimental subjects appearing in the Mist Mountain now already existed in Germany during World War II!"

Fu Wanghu looked at him in surprise: "You kid, you know quite a lot. It seems Xiang Chaonan discovered quite a few secrets in the Misty Mountains. It's a pity he's dead."

Aihara frowned and asked, "You know the inside story?"

"Heh, what do I know? I'm not even forty yet, but this happened almost a hundred years ago. But based on my guess, on the eve of World War I, the Germans came to this city and, with the help of the Shi family, obtained the secret about God."

Fu Wanghu displayed the image in his hand and said calmly, "Those Germans brought secrets back to their country and created this monster. It's not some clumsy piece of trash like the Dead Apostles, but a life form that lies between the laws of nature and humanity."

The most prominent characteristic of the Dead Apostles is that their minds are corrupted, their souls have completely collapsed, and their ancient relics have decayed.

As time goes by, they eventually become zombies, driven only by instinct and incapable of thinking.

Ancient artifacts can also mutate, causing their abilities to become distorted and giving them some disgusting characteristics.

However, the experimental subjects in the misty mountains were different. Although they possessed extremely primitive bestiality, their vitality was vibrant and they did not decay; they were full of life.

"Why do you think the Germans started both world wars? The secret in the misty mountains must be the legacy of some ancient god. The Germans possessed it, and thus had the power to declare war on the world."

"Is that monster in the mental hospital their secret weapon?"

"That's theoretically true, otherwise it's impossible to explain why Germany had the confidence to declare war on the world. You have to understand that the history of longevity in Europe has been interrupted many times, and in modern times there are hardly any decent lineages left."

Have you looked into that mental hospital?

Fu Wanghu shook his head and said, "I also searched for traces of that monster in the mental hospital, but unfortunately I didn't find it. All traces of it disappeared until recently when I smelled its scent again."

Over a hundred years ago, during the war waged by the five great families, the Germans were forced to flee back to their country, and the Shi family was almost completely wiped out. Unfortunately, like wildfire that cannot be extinguished, they did not perish.

Based on my speculation, the Shi family likely discovered the German research findings on the battlefield during World War II, which aroused their greed. Therefore, the Shi family restarted the experiment from years ago in the Misty Mountains.

Aihara suddenly realized.

That makes sense.

No wonder the girl in the mental hospital looked so much like Xiao Qi; they were the same kind of experimental subjects.

"The Heavenly Principle lineage of the Ancient Dragon is the noblest among the eight major bloodline origins, but also the most tyrannical, and its majesty cannot be looked at directly. Although deciphering that diary would not actually corrupt it, it could very well lead to brain damage."

Fu Wanghu pointed to his head: "I have to admit, you're quite capable."

Aihara said expressionlessly, "Are you trying to say that there's something wrong with my eyes? You knew all along?"

Fu Wanghu smiled and said, "You should have known about your eyes for a long time, right? Didn't Xiang Chaonan tell you? If you have time, you can look up the Xiang family of Jiuge. Your surname is really interesting. I don't know what abilities your eyes have, but you'd better keep it a secret that you can't be contaminated. Even if you have to pretend, you should pretend to be scared."

He glanced at the girl sitting on the street drinking tofu pudding, then paused and said, "Including your sister's genetic disease, if it really needs proper treatment, it may require blood from their family. But it can't be yours, your genes... have some problems."

Aihara was taken aback.

I didn't expect that Fu Wanghu would figure it out too.

"Is Xiaosi's genetic disease curable? If it requires the bloodline of the Jiuge Xiang family, does that mean her birth mother is from that side? Close marriage? No, it could be a collateral blood relative beyond three generations..."

Aihara put his hand on his forehead.

Damn, this is so annoying.

"However, I don't really know much about the Xiang family. The Jiuge Alliance is a true behemoth, a super power that has risen in the last hundred years."

Fu Wanghu reminded him, "It's completely incomparable to the five great families, which are like a garbage dump riddled with holes."

Aihara was stunned for a long time, never expecting that his parents had such a background, and was at a loss for words.

In fact, as early as when Aihara learned about his second uncle's identity and the existence of the Mirage, he knew that his family, including his biological parents, were definitely not simple characters.

Especially after Chief Yu confirmed the matter.

Now that Aihara has learned of the existence of the Kuga family for the first time, his first feeling is actually pressure.

But thinking about it carefully, since his second uncle was able to bring him to this city, it proves that his parents probably weren't important figures in that large family.

hope so.

Damn, the pressure is immense.

I'm at my breaking point, I don't want to think about it anymore.

He felt increasingly that the world of the immortal race was mysterious and unpredictable, and sighed: "Is it really okay for you to talk about your own family like that? Aren't you even insulting yourself?"

Fu Wanghu shrugged: "I'm in the garbage dump, but I'm not garbage. I'm an independent individual, and I never categorize myself into any group. Besides, the way the five major families act disgusts me."

The secrets of Fog Hill are about to be revealed; soon you'll see the ugly faces of the five major families. Tsk tsk, I must say, I'm quite looking forward to it. I'm off.

After he finished speaking, the ghostly presence in his eyes vanished abruptly.

The middle-aged man looked around blankly, as if he had seen a ghost, and fled in panic.

Aihara was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered the pattern that the German officer had scratched on the table.

The pattern is a deep blue.

"Is Fu Wanghu implying something?"

Aihara still didn't plan to go to class today. After dropping his sister off at school, he disguised himself and went to the suburban general merchandise market, also known as the black market.

He sold all the stolen goods he had recently seized, and then sold the mural fragments he had previously obtained to a well-connected old businessman at the antique market, earning 150,000 yuan in cash.

Then he went to a shady gold shop and exchanged all his cash for gold, stuffing it into his backpack.

Then he took the large bag of gold and exchanged it for cash at several legitimate gold shops in the city.

Finally, deposit the cash into the bank.

Throughout the entire process, he used his senses to avoid surveillance, ensuring that no one was following him.

"call."

After doing all this, Aihara finally breathed a sigh of relief and purchased the raw materials for the incense on the company's intranet.

Of the materials for the Divine Incense, only relics cannot be purchased through normal channels, but they are not scarce in the other world, and many long-lived beings have them in stock.

Now that Aihara has the identity of a hunter and has also latched onto the Jiang family, someone will naturally help him handle things.

The materials should arrive tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow is the full moon.

We can just find a good location to make incense then.

After all that, Aihara was left with only two thousand dollars in his account, penniless.

He stood by the roadside, bewildered in the wind for a while, then hailed a taxi to go to the company.

The Deep Blue Alliance was quite lively today. Last night, the new weapon was successfully deployed, clearing out nearly two-thirds of the experimental subjects in the alternate side. This also greatly advanced and broke through the hunters' exploration, resulting in a fruitful harvest.

Some brought out equipment left behind by the Germans a century ago, some captured live specimens of the zombies, some brought back valuable experimental data, some found extremely rare living beings, and some brought back the corpses of their companions.

The eight immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers.

As Aihara got out of the car, the parking lot security guard came over and politely handed him a package: "Mr. Aihara, you have a package."

"I didn't buy it..."

Aihara suddenly realized, "Okay, thank you." He turned and went to the public restroom, sat on the toilet and opened the package. Inside was a bright green jade pendant with a Buddha statue carved on it, smiling slightly.

This is the living spirit that Fu Wanghu found for him; its name is still marked on the label inside the box.

The Buddha of No Affairs.

Aihara carefully examined the jade pendant for a moment, then solemnly put it around his neck. Suddenly, the Buddha statue closed its eyes.

For a moment.

He felt a chill run through his body.

The face on the black mirror suddenly disappeared like mist.

The face on the black knife seemed to have fallen asleep as well.

"It is indeed a creature with a stealth effect, but biological creatures are still too obvious, and Life Slug still cannot carry it. It would be best to bring back a creature with the same effect, so that it will not be discovered."

Aihara felt a weight lifted from his heart. Apart from the Oni-faced Clown, which he kept in the shop, he wanted to carry all the other spirits with him at all times, just in case.

His phone vibrated.

Jiang Wanwu's phone call.

"Hey, Sister Wanwu."

Aihara answered the phone, pretending to be well-behaved.

"Xiaoyuan, are you at the company? I'll come pick you up in a bit, and we can go eat crabs together later."

Jiang Wanwu's voice was still pleasant to hear.

"Sister Wanwu, aren't you busy anymore?"

Aihara asked curiously.

"My father came to the company for a meeting today, and I've finished my work, so I can rest for the night."

Jiang Wanwu suddenly said, "By the way, I have something to tell you... The Yan family came to me today, asking to see you and apologize and reconcile. Regarding the case of your uncle's family, they hope you can withdraw the charges and provide relevant evidence to prove Yan Feng's innocence."

Aihara squinted: "When did I file a lawsuit?"

Jiang Wanwu explained with a smile, "Because you are the only immortal relative of your uncle's family, the human resources investigation team will naturally file a lawsuit in your name after taking him away."

If Yan Feng pleads guilty and accepts punishment, you can still claim compensation. Of course, the Yan family's current intention is to gain your understanding and minimize the damage. In short, they want money from you to settle things peacefully. Yan Feng might be sentenced, but the charges will likely be relatively minor. Those with more serious charges will probably be his subordinates who take the blame.

Aihara understood.

It's actually still the same set of laws as in the present world.

It's just that it's even dirtier.

The Yan family's message is simple: we're willing to reconcile with you, so you should stop now and not push your luck.

Aihara pondered for a moment. On the surface, it seemed that the Yan family had backed down, but that was not actually the case.

This reconciliation feels more like a threat.

How much money is the Yan family willing to offer?

Aihara never expected that his uncle's family would have such surplus value; they were truly his good relatives.

"Not much, maybe a little over five million?"

Jiang Wanwu thought for a moment: "Do you agree? The Yan family may have some grudges with your second uncle, but if this fight continues, it may not be a good thing for you."

five million!
Aihara thought to herself, "I wish we had more relatives like this."

"That won't do, Sister Wanwu."

He said righteously and sternly, "My uncle's family were my dearest relatives and brothers! Now that they have been murdered, how can I eat the blood of their dead? Besides, are three people in one family only worth five million?"

That's a human life!

On the phone, Jiang Wanwu was amused by him and laughed heartily: "So what do you want, my young master?"

Aihara was about to say something, but then fell silent.

"Sister, wait a moment."

He pushed open the door of the public restroom and hung up the phone.

The lights in the public restroom flickered on and off, and men in suits wearing steel masks stared at him indifferently.

"Did you hang up the phone?"

Someone introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Yan He. There are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

"talk?"

Aihara looked around: "Shall we talk in the restroom?"

Yan He adjusted his mask and smiled slightly: "It's rare that Miss Jiang isn't by your side, so we have a chance to chat about topics that men should talk about."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Let me be frank. Your uncle did things he shouldn't have done back then, and he took things that didn't belong to him. Hand over those things, and then cooperate with us to drop the charges, and we can be even."

For a fleeting moment, Aihara suddenly understood.

The Yan family's persistent focus on the Second Uncle may not be solely due to some personal grudges from years ago; the more important reason likely lies in the token from the Mirage Tower!

As the former owner of the Misty Tower, Second Uncle would certainly not fight for the so-called token for his own sake.

But he most likely gave the token to someone else!

Or rather, prevent the token from falling into someone's hands!
"Could it be Xiao Qi's keepsake..."

This possibility flashed through Aihara's mind.

When she gathered her scattered thoughts and looked at the men in front of her again, she suddenly asked, "What if I say no?"

Yan He smiled slightly: "We're not actually that afraid of the Jiang family. You're probably going to have to suffer a bit."

His pupils moved slightly.

The dark pupils were swallowed by the whites of the eyes.

At that moment, Aihara suddenly asked, "Excuse me, is there any CCTV footage in this restroom?"

That's a stupid question.

of course not.

Otherwise, Yan He wouldn't have been so arrogant.
