When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

"Your son?"

Jiang Feng looked down at the Pharaoh from his high vantage point, his eyes slightly narrowed.

According to the intelligence he possessed, the Pharaoh was only in his early thirties, while the rumored son appeared to be eight years old.

The Pharaoh lowered his head, his disheveled hair obscuring half his face.

Faced with Jiang Feng's interrogation, his face showed no emotion, and he simply said in a hoarse voice, "Back then, I went to the provincial capital and that's when I had my son."

"Oh?"

Jiang Feng continued, "And what about his mother?"

A look of pain finally appeared on the Pharaoh's usually calm face.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

"He's dead."

Jiang Feng frowned slightly and did not ask any further questions.

"Tell me your address."

"I will send someone to bring that little boy here safely."

"At that time, you and he will both stay at Qiangsheng Group."

Upon hearing this, the entire secret room fell silent.

The Pharaoh abruptly raised his head, staring at Jiang Feng in utter astonishment, and blurted out instinctively, "You... weren't you going to kill me?"

"Why would I kill you?" Jiang Feng asked with a light laugh.

The Pharaoh lowered his head again, gave a bitter laugh, and said, "I... assassinated you. The victor is king, the loser is villain. You should kill me."

"So, did you succeed?"

"Pharaoh, you are a wise man, but also a pitiful one."

Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "The reason you're willing to be a dog and follow Long Feiyang's orders to assassinate me is simply because Long Teng saved your son's life back then."

"You owe him a life, so you've come to repay that debt."

Pharaoh was startled and stared at Jiang Feng in disbelief.

He never told anyone about this.

"Therefore, I will not kill you."

"I can even heal your hidden injuries."

"Including... the poison wounds from the Purple Scorpion Sect inside your body."

"boom!"

The Pharaoh's pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes widened in shock.

"How...how did you know I was poisoned by the Purple Scorpion Sect?!"

He looked at Jiang Feng in utter horror, his voice trembling.

Even Long Teng only knew that he was seriously injured, and had no idea that it was the poison of the Purple Scorpion Sect!

He was just worried that one day the Purple Scorpion Clan would come after him.

He had to endure it for his son's sake!

Jiang Feng stood with his hands behind his back, not answering, but simply gazing at him indifferently.

After a moment, the Pharaoh sighed dejectedly.

He knew that he had no secrets from this boy.

"Room 302, Building 7, Hongxing Residential Area, Western Suburbs of Linchuan City".

The Pharaoh reluctantly gave the address.

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiang frowned slightly: "Mr. Jiang, that place is indeed very secluded. It's a notorious resettlement community in Linchuan City, a melting pot of all sorts of people."

"The tenants there are extremely mobile, and even the police can't figure out the details of the population there. Ordinary people would never think of looking for someone there."

"OK!"

Jiang Feng acted swiftly and decisively, turning around and walking away without the slightest hesitation.

"Gao Qiang, prepare the car, let's go to Hongxing Residential Area!"

at the same time.

Western suburbs of Linchuan City.

The night wind was chilly on the road leading to Hongxing Residential Area.

Three figures dressed in purple robes were speeding through the night at an astonishing pace.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a purple scorpion tattooed on his right cheek.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the man's feet were not on the ground!

With each step he took, a wisp of dark purple true energy surged from the soles of his feet, supporting his body as he swayed in mid-air.

He was actually a fourth-grade Grandmaster!

The two subordinates behind him, though running wildly on the ground, also possessed incredibly powerful auras, both being experts at the peak of the third rank.

On the left is a horse-faced man with a sinister expression, and on the right is a seductive woman with a slender waist.

"Sixth Elder."

As the horse-faced man sped along, he spoke respectfully, "We traveled all the way from the provincial capital to this godforsaken place, tracking him for a full three months before finally obtaining news of Pharaoh from the Azure Dragon Society."

"But I don't know... is this information accurate? What if the Pharaoh has set an ambush?"

The alluring woman nodded slightly in agreement upon hearing this.

They were poison cultivators from the Purple Scorpion Sect, and they had offended countless people in their daily lives, so they had to be very careful in their actions.

The Sixth Elder sneered, and the purple scorpion tattoo on his face began to slowly wriggle, looking as eerie as if it were alive.

"rest assured."

"That old bastard Long Teng from the Azure Dragon Society would never dare to fool us with fake news."

"To track down the Pharaoh and that little bastard, the sect leader has promised a Great Yuan Pill this time!"

These words were spoken.

The horse-faced man and the alluring woman both shuddered, their eyes flashing with undisguised shock.

A top-grade fourth-rank elixir!

The Great Yuan Pill?!

That's a pill that can make a fourth-grade grandmaster ignore the bottleneck and forcibly increase their level by three stars!

Although this powerful elixir can only be taken once in a lifetime, the temptation of leaping across three minor realms at once is simply outrageous!

Even in a provincial capital with a rich cultural heritage, this level of elixir is a priceless treasure!

The horse-faced man's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard, his voice trembling. "Sixth Elder, that... that pill... has it already been given to Long Teng?"

"Hmph, does he even deserve it?"

The Sixth Elder chuckled, and a faint light flashed from the storage ring on his right thumb.

A flash of light.

A jade box appeared in his palm.

With a gentle flick of his thumb, the jade box opened, revealing a brown pill the size of a longan lying quietly inside.

As soon as the pill was produced, a rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the night air.

The horse-faced man and the alluring woman felt their blood and energy surge as soon as they inhaled a mouthful of the elixir fragrance, and their eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

"Snapped!"

The Sixth Elder immediately closed the jade box and put it back into his storage ring.

"As long as this mission is successfully completed, we take the Pharaoh's head and bring that bastard back to the Purple Scorpion Sect!"

"The two of you will each receive a Breakthrough Pill!"

"Then you can focus on preparing to break through to the fourth-grade Grandmaster level!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Sixth Elder!!"

The two were overjoyed upon hearing this and knelt down to express their gratitude repeatedly.

But then, a hint of resentment flashed in the horse-faced man's eyes, and he leaned closer and lowered his voice, saying, "Sixth Elder, this Great Yuan Pill is extremely precious even in our Purple Scorpion Sect."

"If we really find the Pharaoh tonight, are we really going to let Long Teng get the Great Yuan Pill for nothing?"

"Sixth Elder, if you take this pill... you will be able to directly advance to the fourth rank, sixth star realm!"

"At that time, you'll be able to move up a rank in the elders' council!"

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder's eyes turned cold, and he shouted sharply, "Insolence! How dare you, a mere deacon, interfere with the ranking of the elders' seats?!"

The overwhelming pressure of a fourth-rank official pressed down like a mountain.

The horse-faced man was terrified and quickly raised his hand, slapping himself twice across the face: "I spoke out of turn! I deserve to die!"

Seeing this, the alluring woman beside him rolled her eyes and immediately leaned forward sweetly, saying, "Sixth Elder, please calm down. Old Ma may be clumsy with words, but he is only thinking of you."

"Old Ma and I were both promoted by you. If you can be promoted in the Elders' Council, we will be honored as well, won't we?"

"Besides, everyone knows that Elder Six's strength is many times greater than that of Elder Five. Giving you this Great Yuan Pill is the best use of its resources!"

Upon hearing these words, the Sixth Elder's oppressive aura gradually subsided.

His relationship with the fifth brother in the sect was tense, filled with open and covert struggles.

This is common knowledge among the Purple Scorpion Clan.

"snort!"

The Sixth Elder revealed a sinister and ferocious smile, "Of course, we can't give this Great Yuan Pill to that good-for-nothing Long Teng."

"A small-time gang doesn't deserve such a divine pill?!"

Even if the Azure Dragon Society is affiliated with the Mining Gang, why would the Mining Gang care about such a small force?

"Back when the Pharaoh defected, it was this Dragon Soaring who foolishly took him in and even spent a fortune treating that bastard child!"

"I haven't even confronted him yet, and he still dares to dream of getting his hands on the Great Yuan Pill? That's utterly delusional!"

The Sixth Elder's eyes revealed a murderous intent.

From the moment he accepted the mission, he was prepared to keep this Great Yuan Pill all to himself.

If I kill someone tonight to silence them, I will immediately go into seclusion upon returning home.

He has been stuck at the fourth rank, third rank for many years. Once he refines the Great Yuan Pill, he will be a fourth rank, sixth rank when he emerges from seclusion!

"That old bastard, Lao Wu, has been stuck at the fourth rank and fifth star for so many years."

"Once I emerge from seclusion, what will he have to fight me with?!"
