"Why is Fang Yaowu so eager to kill me? This doesn't match his style."

"He's worried you have evidence of his crimes and you'll turn it over to the authorities. To avoid long-term risks, he wants me to act tonight. Strike first and kill you without further discussion."

At this moment, Ghost Claw showed no reservations, betraying Fang Yaowu completely.

"Where did you get the Soul-breaking dagger then? The Fang Family shouldn't have the guts to hide such a thing."

"I really don't know. When I went to Fang Yaowu's villa, he already had it. I honestly don't know why Fang Yaowu would possess this."

"Is that so? If you don't know anything, what's the use of keeping you?"

As his words fell, Lu Tianxing's eyes narrowed slightly, his five fingers spread open, True Qi swirling in his palm, reaching for Ghost Claw's head.

"No, don't kill me. I know, I know."

Feeling the fluctuations of True Qi in that palm, Ghost Claw's face drastically changed, and he immediately shouted, "It's the Jiang Family, it must be the Jiang Family who gave it. If the Fang Family didn't have it, this dagger must be what the Jiang Family gave to Fang Yaowu. When I got the dagger ready to leave, I secretly heard Fang Yaowu and Tan Shuya talking. They said once they finished packing, they would take the helicopter Jiang Haochen arranged and leave Jinling."

"The Jiang Family?"

Upon hearing Ghost Claw's words, a cold gleam flashed in Lu Tianxing's eyes: "You call Fang Yaowu now, find out his location, and try to stall him for me. If you can't stall him, you'll die."

Hearing Lu Tianxing's words, Ghost Claw's face changed, but without hesitation, he took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Fang Yaowu's number.

Meanwhile, neither Lu Tianxing nor Ghost Claw noticed that in a very hidden spot, a figure was watching them with a cold smile, holding a phone. A message was silently sent out, and then the figure vanished without a trace, as if it had never been there.

At the same time, at Jiangbei New District No.7 Villa.

Fang Yaowu and Tan Shuya were anxiously standing in the backyard of the villa, constantly glancing at the sky in the distance and pacing back and forth, seemingly waiting for something.

"Yaowu, why hasn't the helicopter arrived yet? Didn't you just make a call? You said it would be here soon to pick us up, didn't you? Maybe they've gone to the wrong place." Tan Shuya said to Fang Yaowu.

"Impossible, I already gave them the address, there can't be a mistake. Don't worry, wait a little longer."

Fang Yaowu took a deep breath, his eyes showing a trace of uneasiness. For some reason, his mood was unsettled, with a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Ring ring... "

At this moment, the phone in Fang Yaowu's pocket suddenly emitted a melodious ringtone.

Fang Yaowu paused slightly, taking out his phone. Seeing the caller ID, a shadow crossed his face. He hesitated for a moment but still answered: "Ghost Claw, what are you calling me for at this time? Hasn't the money already been transferred to your bank account? What do you want with me, or are you having second thoughts?"

"Second thoughts, Mayor Fang, do you think I, Ghost Claw, am such a person? But the intelligence you gave me was wrong. The opponent reached the peak of early-stage Mythical and was about to break through to the middle-stage Mythical. Sending me to kill him was like sending me to my death. Fortunately, with this dagger, I killed him, though I was injured. I need to find a place to heal, cough, cough..."

After speaking, Ghost Claw coughed twice vigorously, pretending to be injured. He was very clear that if he didn't act like this, he wouldn't be able to extract information from Fang Yaowu.

Upon hearing Ghost Claw's words, Fang Yaowu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Ghost Claw, your three tasks for me are complete, and I've transferred all the money to your account. Our transaction is completely over. You are injured, find a place to heal. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

Even with Lu Tianxing beside him, Ghost Claw couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, realizing Fang Yaowu intended to burn bridges after crossing. Perhaps Fang Yaowu knew Lu Tianxing's strength all along and sent Ghost Claw, hoping they would both meet their demise.

"Mayor Fang, what do you mean by this, treating me like a pawn? I'm injured and if I fall to the Yanhuang Group's hands, it's a dead end. You are sentencing me to death. Don't forget, we're in the same boat now. Don't think I don't know you're secretly planning to leave China by helicopter. I'll tell you this, don't push me, even a cornered rabbit bites. If you want me dead, I'll make sure you come to the grave with me. Believe it or not, I'll call the Lu Family and say you ordered me to kill Lu Tianxing. Do you think you'll escape China by then?" Ghost Claw said in a gloomy voice.

"Ghost Claw, you…."

Hearing these words, Fang Yaowu's face immediately turned unsightly. If the news of him killing Lu Tianxing reached the Lu Family, he'd be doomed before he could leave the country.

Taking in a deep breath, Fang Yaowu said in a deep voice: "Fine, Ghost Claw, I'm at Jiangbei New District No.7 Villa now, get here as fast as possible."

"Mayor Fang, you better not be lying. I'll be there in twenty minutes. If you're not there, you know the consequences better than me."

"Hmph, don't blame me for being ruthless if you don't show up in twenty minutes."

After speaking, Fang Yaowu hung up the phone.

"Yaowu, you're not really planning to take him with you, are you!" Tan Shuya said from the side.

"Take him with us?"

A cold murderous intent flickered across Fang Yaowu's face: "Why would I take him? What is he? Just a dog wanted by the Yanhuang Group. His death has nothing to do with us. I'll just call the Yanhuang Group and tell them Ghost Claw appeared; they won't spare him. If he dares to come, this will be his burial ground."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Yaowu was about to dial the Yanhuang Group's Jinling branch.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder they call you Mayor Fang. Fang Yaowu, you certainly act decisively and ruthlessly. No wonder birds of a feather flock together. I finally understand the chill behind this phrase."

At this moment, a voice full of coldness sounded in Fang Yaowu's ear.
