Chapter 969: The Inner Kingdom: The Next Step Of The Plan (2)

(Unedited)

…

With the appearance of this strange group and their strange carriage, the people could not help but relate such a scene with the new arrive Mystique Shop.

Sitting on the second floor of a tea shop is a young man who looks like in his 20s while looking at the slowly passing cars on the street below. 

"Those things look luxurious and comfortable… I wonder if I could buy one of those from that shop?" he muttered while taking a sip of his tea.

Not too far from the tea shop is the temporary office building of the Mystique Shop. The temporary building is a 3 story manor of some noble.

The cars stopped at the roadside which has already attracted many people. When the car opens, several black-robed men walk out and stood in attention trying to block the crowd from going near the vehicles.

They seem to be using some kind of barrier array to prevent anyone from coming close.

Then the cars in the middle open up and when the people saw who those people are, the whole street immediately erupted with shouts.

How could the people in the capital not recognize those who are coming down the strange carriages? Even though the capital is not as prosperous as the other cities, they already have TVs in many houses and could watch those movies that everyone loved.

In those movies that are being produced nowadays, many have already treated those actors and actresses as their idols.

And so upon seeing them in person many wanted to immediately rush towards them and try to be able to touch them in person.

But of course, the guards are able to stop this from happening.

At this time, the young man in his 20s watching this scene almost spews the tea on his mouth. How could he not know who those people are? They are famous people who are showed in the movies. Though he is not convinced that those people truly have such kind of powers and abilities, but he agrees that they truly acted the part.

But his eyes are glued to the young woman who showed a playful smile on her beautiful face while waving to the crowd. She was his goddess and someone that he has even drawn portraits of.

"That's Shenya Maw! It's really her!" suddenly a voice from the other table began to clamor as the men in that seat immediately stood on the railings.

Everyone on the second floor has already look outside the windows while watching the beautiful young woman waving in the crowd and the other actors and actresses.

"Damn it! If I have known that she would be here, I would have gone there already."

"Are they going to make a movie in the capital? I hope they do… At least I can see my goddess every day. Hahaha…"

"What do you know? I heard that they are here to promote their company and will go and see the king along with the officials of the Mystique Shop."

"I guess the capital will be lively at last…"

"You're talking as if the capital is not already that lively?"

"You call this lively? In the morning, yes, but at night… people are afraid to go out. I heard that in Zepa City, the city is still lively even at night. People are not afraid of the night in there."

"Of course they would not… The lamps in that city are already functioning. But here, it's only around 20 to 30% functional. I think it's the fault of some of those unscrupulous noble houses… Humph…"

"Hey… Don't say it out loud…"

The people began discussing, but when the topic falls on the noble houses, many have an expression of being wronged and some are even showing angry expressions.

In the capital, almost everyone knew that those working in the darkness, the rats are being controlled by some of the noble houses. However, no one would say otherwise they would lose their lives. But ever since that faithful day where the noble houses are being threatened, everyone knew that the atrocities of those nobles have come to an end.

Meanwhile, inside the Hong noble house, manor hall…

Several people are gathered together behind a long table. Many have long expressions while others have relaxed expressions. Those who have long expressions on their faces are the people who have aligned themselves with the current patriarch of the Hong noble house, Hong Fao. Meanwhile, those who showed relaxed expressions are the people who did not meddle with this problem.

Although they are also affected by this event, yet they are not that worried. The reason for this is because; they have secretly submitted some names that are not loyal to the current patriarch and a petition to the people of the Royal family.

Although it is something that should not be done because they are still one family, these people did not agree with the actions of the patriarch by dragging down the family because of his useless son. His son died, yes… but the enemy is not that simple. Many noble houses have already suffered and even their Hong family has also suffered. They wanted this thing to end already and not drag it for long.

While everyone was silent, Hong Fao slowly stands up.

"I am aware of the disposition of the family… I know that you wanted me to stop trying to get justice for the death of my son…. However, what about the deaths of our other family members? Do we want to just write it off? I for one do not want that to happen…" Hong Fao said in a cold tone.

Suddenly from the side, a man who has a similarity to Hong Fao laughed.

"Haha… Older brother, you said it as someone owed us something. The reason why those people died is the consequence of our own actions. If we did not deliberately try to hunt that guy named Si Ji, we would not be in this situation…" that man said while folding his arms with a slight smirk on his face.

This guy is the second brother of Hong Fao, Hong Ba. He did not like being embroiled in the family troubles, but trouble came knocking on his door as he saw something that made his mind change. Plus with the instigation from his wife Gi Yaolan, his desire to knock his older brother down his high seat ignited.

"Hong Ba! How dare you say such a thing to the patriarch!" shouted one of the elders.

"Yeah, you are a two-faced man. You acted like you never really cared about the family matters, but it seems that your scheme runs deep…"

Hong Ba did not say anything and just smirked.

"My schemes are deep? The family is already in trouble, and you said my schemes are deep… Why not ask my brother here, why he drag us down just because of a useless member of our Hong family?" Hong Ba said in a low voice but everyone heard his words.

"Shut up all of you!" shouted Hong Fao as he glared at his brother.

"I am still the patriarch… I will make the decision for the family. If you don't like it, you could leave." Hong Fao said in a cold tone.

He looks at everyone and confidence swelled in his heart. Even though the family suffered such humiliation, he is still aware that he has the elders' support.

However, he suddenly saw Hong Ba standing up.

"Big brother… I do not wish to see you killed. I suggest that you back away from anything that you are scheming. This is the last thing I wanted to say…" Hong Ba said as he walks out of the hall.

The eyes of Hong Fao began to glow with murderous intent. He did not expect the ever so calm and submissive brother of his suddenly became like this.

However, what he did not know is that, when Shin Jiao attacked the Hong family, Hong Ba saw everything that happened at that time. Within Hong Ba's heart, he became fearful of the youth named Si Ji. So how could he go against that devil?

So when his wife convinced him to go against his brother, he immediately agreed in his heart. But as a brother, he did not want his older brother to suffer, so he instead warned him.

He has already decided to escape from the Hong main manor and go to that bamboo forest. He needs to take away his niece from this place. Hong Ba is aware that out of all his niece and nephew in this place, that little girl is the only one who has not been influenced by the corrupted thinking of the Hong family.

After Hong Ba left, a few Hong family members also left.

And this made Hong Fao's expression turned gloomy.

"Patriarch… what do you plan to do with those people who turn their back against us?" an elder said with an angry expression.

"Humph… Let them be for now. After we regained our prestige, I will personally deal with them." Hong Fao said with a glint of killing intent in his eyes.
