On a rooftop somewhere opposite the Wisteria Restaurant building, two people in cloaks were standing in a dark corner.

One of them spoke in a hoarse voice, with a tone of watching a show, and said: "Oh, that thing is dead, you miscalculated."

"I didn't expect that beta actually carried a weapon with him. He was so alert. He's a good candidate for our line of work."

"Brother, we have done what we should do for the money. We have done our best. You have to handle the follow-up matters cleanly and don't let those crazy people in the Judgment Hall catch us red-handed."

"Don't worry, you will be fine." A mechanically processed, cold voice came out from under the cloak, without any emotion.

"Thank you for your good wishes!" He clasped his hands together, rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said to the other party, "I heard that Beta has the token of the head of the Dongfang family?"

The other person just glanced at him calmly, not surprised that he knew such news, and replied quietly: "Yeah."

"Oh, I'm so envious. People are different. Some people can ascend to heaven in one step and enjoy wealth and glory, unlike us who live on the edge of a knife and live in fear every day." He sighed, his tone was full of emotion, and he said intentionally or unintentionally, "Is that thing really that powerful? If an outsider gets it, can it use it?"

"You can try."

Night Crow rolled his eyes in his heart. The people from the seven major families were really hard to judge. They always liked to beat around the bush when speaking.

"I'm afraid you'll die if you try. Brother, I've taken such a big risk to help you. It won't hurt to reveal some unimportant news. Why are you so cold?"

The man thought for a while before he spoke carefully: "What do you think a token is?"

"It's a symbol given to an individual by a certain force. It's almost like a certificate of identity."

"Then you should know that the final right of interpretation of the token lies in the hands of the power that issues the token." He glanced at Night Crow and said slowly.

"Ha." Night Crow laughed sarcastically, shrugged, and said, "So the final right of interpretation of that thing lies in the hands of you seven families. You are really cunning."

"Certain things can only work in the hands of certain people. I think the people in the 'Ghost' organization should know this better than me. The family head's token is a life-saving talisman for her, but a death warrant for others." He said lightly.

The holder of the Patriarch's token, at the moment of confirmation, will inform all the forces under the family of the existence of this person. That person is the real center and symbol of power, not the Patriarch's token.

The most important thing is always the person, not the token.

The so-called token of the family owner is nothing more than a jade token, which can be remade at any time. Moreover, with today's technology, it is not difficult to add an identity recognition system to the token. This kind of important thing will self-destruct the moment it is taken by a non-holder.

"So, if I rob her today, you'll see my head on the federal execution platform tomorrow. Oh, not necessarily. It might take less than an hour."

With something as big as this happening, those crazy people in the Judgment Hall must be more excited and active than anyone else.

Night Crow said, patting the man opposite on the shoulder and said, "Brother, this is not a good thing. After all, we are friends. You can't cheat me like this. You will die if you try."

He looked at the battle that had ended on the other side, and confirmed that the star beast had already died. He patted his shoulders and stretched his body: "Brother, this show is over. Although I don't know what you want to do, if we don't leave now, the people from the Security Court will come."

He didn't want to deal with the people in the Security Court. There were many people in there who were trained by those crazy people in the Judgment Hall. They might catch up with him just by smelling the scent.

"No hurry, wait a moment." The man was not panicked at all. He glanced at him and said calmly, "The people from the Public Security Court can't come so quickly."

Night Crow narrowed his eyes, thinking that the other party must have used some tricks to trip up the people from the Sheriff Court on the road. He gave the man a thumbs up and praised him, "Great! You are really awesome, brother. I will continue to watch the show with you."

The man didn't respond to him, but just frowned slightly and looked across.

Luo Yanchi had been under the erosion of the neurotoxin 'Amitus' for too long, and he was able to forcibly mobilize his mental power. This was abnormal. The Luo family had publicly announced that his trait was "recovery", and I think they had a hidden trick. His real trait should be similar to "recovery", but at a higher level.

And that beta, why is he okay? A dark light flashed in his eyes.

He really couldn't understand the Dongfang family's strange behavior. What on earth were they trying to do? Was it really to appease those beta families and find a beta child with strong talents to be the spokesperson?

In recent years, the situation in the federation has become increasingly complicated.

How do you say that?

He looked calmly at the room opposite, as if waiting for something.

……

In the messy room, the corpse of the star beast was lying in the middle, and Luo Yanchi was resting with his eyes closed not far away from it.

Shi Chu withdrew his gaze from the star beast and turned to look at Luo Yanchi beside him.

He was half-kneeling on the ground at this time, looking embarrassed. The glasses on his face had been damaged in the battle, and the ribbon that tied his long hair was long gone. His long platinum hair was scattered messily and spread on the ground like silk.

A few strands of hair stuck to his face, adding a sense of brokenness to him. His handsome face was now as pale as paper, with a trace of bright red blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

The elegant and decent image that she usually maintained now dissipated like the tide, revealing her true face hidden underneath.

He closed his eyes tightly, his brows were furrowed like two deep ravines, and his expression was full of pain, as if he was enduring great torture.

He exuded a chilling coldness, a kind of indifference that kept people at a distance, just like the snow on the mountains that never melted all year round, cold and hard, making it difficult for people to approach.

Shi Chu walked up to him and looked down at his embarrassed posture with an expressionless face.

He usually pretends to be gentle and polite, but his true colors are revealed at this time. Why do you keep pretending all day long?

This look is much more pleasing to the eye and suits him quite well. It's unlike that hypocritical and disgusting look that makes people feel uncomfortable.

Luo Yanchi heard her footsteps approaching him and slowly opened his eyes. There was a coldness and ruthlessness in his light blue eyes, and even the gentleness he usually pretended to be was gone.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the beta girl in front of him, his brows furrowed even tighter.

This inferior position made him extremely uncomfortable. He struggled to get up, but his body simply wouldn't allow it.

As soon as he stood up a little, he felt dizzy and a tingling sensation in his mind. His body involuntarily tilted to the side and was about to fall to the ground.

At this moment, a hand quickly rested on his shoulder. Although the hand was soft, it contained amazing strength and firmly supported his shaky body.

Luo Yanchi raised his head with difficulty and slowly looked into those glass-colored eyes.

Those eyes were like a clear spring, clean and transparent.

In those clear eyes, he saw his own miserable figure.
