hrough his mind. Those phantoms seemed to be under a spell, constantly appearing in his thoughts.He shook his head forcefully, and the phantom vanished instantly.Upstairs, Ye Fan felt a bit amused and...He Tiesheng waved his hand, cutting him off and said with a grave expression: "I don't need to hear your explanation. That's just an excuse of yours. You violated the discipline, which is a fact. And Lao Mo had spoken beforehand, so we are not giving you an opportunity. It's that you didn't cherish this chance. You must take responsibility for your mistakes!" He Tiesheng's cold voice echoed, and Fang Tao trembled all over after hearing it.

“I… I know I was wrong. I admit my mistake, and I accept punishment too, Grandpa Mo. Just give the order, I won’t say a word…” Fang Tao pleaded with Old Mo almost desperately. He knew that Old Mo had a good relationship with his grandfather and shouldn't be too harsh on him. But if it were He Tiesheng, he wouldn't know what the outcome would be.

Lao Mo didn't want to make a big deal out of it either. After all, the Ye Extinction Organization adheres to the principle of uniting all forces that can be united, and the Fang family is not a small force. So he wanted to act as a mediator, just talk things out.

So he stood up and said, "Since Fang Tao has already admitted his mistake, let's give him a chance. However, this matter cannot just be let go, otherwise, someone will follow suit in the future. Therefore, I decide that Fang Tao's punishment is to have his family donate five million unconditionally to the Destroy Leaf Organization as emergency funds..."

Fang Tao felt a sense of relief. Although five million was no small sum, it was still within his family's capabilities. He readily agreed. But before he could speak, He Tiesheng spoke up. He still had that gloomy look and said, "The funds for the Extinction Leaf Organization, our Qingyi Society can take care of paying these five million. However, this matter cannot just end here. Our Qingyi Society has a rule: anyone who violates the rules of the society must be dealt with according to the rules. Since our Qingyi Society is joining the Extinction Leaf Organization today, why not let our Qingyi Society handle this matter and deal with it according to our Qingyi Society's rules Lao Mo, what do you think"

Mo Lao's eyebrows furrowed. He knew the rules of the Qingyi Society—these people chopped off fingers like it was nothing. If Fang Tao fell into their hands, he wouldn't stand a chance.

Fang Tao obviously knew this was a mistake. He kept calling out to Lao Mo, "Grandpa Mo, no! I'll do whatever you say. I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance!"

"I think, why not give him a chance..." Unfortunately, before Lao Mo could finish his words, Fang Tao let out a heart-wrenching howl. That sound tore at people's nerves, making it hard to breathe.

Lao Mo turned back in shock, and he saw Fang Tao's finger already flying into the air. Fang Biao had at some point already grabbed Fang Tao by the collar and brought him before He Tie Sheng, while He Tie Sheng had already put away the bloody long sword in his hand. He said expressionlessly, "This is just a small punishment for him. If anyone dares to ignore the discipline of the Mie Ye organization next time, it won't be as simple as chopping off a finger."

After finishing his words, he swept his gaze across the entire audience once more. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, uneasiness gnawing at their hearts. Yet, not a single person dared to utter another sound.

Lao Mo's eyes widened. These people...were they inviting wolves into the room or...

Mo Lao finally sighed and said to the burly man in black beside him, "Take young master Fang down and treat his wounds properly. Then call Master Fang to pick him up."

The man in black replied with a grunt and took Fang Tao down.

Lao Mo smiled wryly in his heart, Lao Fang, please don't blame me... I've done my best...

After Fang Tao's incident, He Tiesheng's every proposal at the meeting was unanimously approved. No one dared to oppose him anymore. Lao Mo felt that something was amiss, but he didn't say anything until the meeting ended.

After everyone had left, he hurried in the other direction on the island.

In another villa at the Xiao Island Hotel, although it was late at night, the lights inside were still on. Mo Lao knew that the owner inside was waiting for him.

He arrived at the villa door, adjusted his collar, and gently knocked on the door.

He had just knocked when the door was opened by a woman, who obviously had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Is Lao Liu inside" Old Mo asked the woman softly.

The woman nodded but didn't speak. Instead, she walked straight down to the basement, and Mo Lao followed closely behind her.

Inside a secret room in the basement, an elderly man over ancient years lay horizontally on a grand chair, twirling two black and white stones in his hand, closing his eyes and pondering something unknown.

This person, it's actually Liu Shiqi!

The woman gently pushed open the door. Lao Mo's first glance fell on Lao Liu, and he hurried a few steps forward, grasping Lao Liu's hand and saying, "Lao Liu!"

Mr. Liu smiled and pointed to a chair beside him, saying, “Please sit down.”

Lao Mo sat uneasily, just about to speak, when Lao Liu waved him off, "It's already deep in the night, Lao Mo. Have some tea first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman had already brewed a cup of strong tea and handed it over. Lao Mo looked at the woman's tea-brewing skills with great skill and was somewhat surprised to look at her, saying: "Liu Lao, this is..."

This woman, he had never seen her before, was brought by Old Liu when he came to Linhai two days ago.

The woman by Mr. Liu's side, Old Mo knew her. Mr. Liu wasn't a man of pleasure-seeking, so Old Mo didn't doubt the relationship between the woman and Mr. Liu at all. This woman must have an unusual connection with Mr. Liu, otherwise he wouldn't bring her around.

"Old Brother Mo, you don't recognize her Take a closer look," Liu Lao said with a smile.

Mo Lao scrutinized the woman before him with suspicion. She was strikingly beautiful, with a fiery figure and especially a pair of enormous breasts that could only be described as towering. She was undoubtedly a rare and superlative beauty, but Mo Lao couldn't recall ever seeing her before, so he simply shook his head.

Liu Shiqi suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Girl Rou’er, it seems your makeup skills are indeed extraordinary. Even Lao Mo, who knows you so well, couldn’t tell your true identity.”

The woman gave a coquettish smile, then wiped her face with her hand. Under the surprised gaze of Old Mo, she transformed into a completely different person in an instant!

And seeing this face, Mo Lao suddenly stood up, his mouth wide open and cried out: "Miss Miao Rou! How could it be you"

Great, the alluring woman before him was none other than Black Rose, the cold-blooded killer from that day, Miao Rou!

He also didn't expect that Mo Rou would be here, and in such a getup...came furious and was about to lash out, but Ye Fan whispered in her ear before she could, "Ding Ran, it's me."Ding Ran looked at Ye Fan in surprise, her face full of uncertainty and hesitation. She sa...
