Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

The Night Family Dungeon.

It was dark and damp, with the torches on the walls flickering with a dim green light.

Night Song's figure emerged from the darkness at the end of the dungeon passage.

He was accompanied by a tall jailer.

"Young Master, it's right here."

The jailer opened a cell door.

The cell was dark and smelled of decay.

A dozen or so black iron chains on the wall tightly bound a man, who was none other than Black Fang.

Black Fang had regained consciousness, and his face was marked with several brand marks.

As soon as he woke up, he tried to circulate his soul power again, hoping to activate the toxins in his body.

But it still failed.

Every time he tried to circulate his soul power, the mark on his face would burn like fire, causing his soul unbearable pain...

Night Song said, "Don't waste your energy."

"Do you know why we don't use lights here, but instead use these green torches?"

"Because these ghostly flames, along with the prisoner's mark on your face, will together generate a force that suppresses the condensation of human soul power."

"Even someone at the Asura level is no different from an ordinary person once they're locked up here."

"..." Black Fang's mouth moved, his voice dry and hoarse: "I won't say a single word."

“Oh, a tough guy, huh? You’ve got the professional skills of an assassin.” Night Song stepped forward. “It’s alright, I wasn’t planning on asking you anything. I’ll just talk to your head directly.”

As she spoke, Ye Ge reached out and grabbed Black Fang's face.

"Lingling, I'm leaving you here. I'll treat you to something delicious when we get back."

Yege rubbed her cheek against the kitten on her shoulder.

Bai Xueling, who was perched on his shoulder, rolled her eyes.

Tch... You only think of me at times like this...

Although,

Bai Xueling finally pursed her lips, obediently listened, and fixed her scarlet eyes on Hei Liao's eyes, using her pupil technique.

"Blood Spirit Illusion Technique!"

"Uh!" Under the effect of the Blood Spirit Illusion, Black Fang's pupils suddenly became unfocused.

Less than three minutes later.

Tears kept streaming from her eyes.

His facial expression became increasingly hysterical.

It kept wailing in pain, as if it had experienced something extremely agonizing...

Fifteen minutes later...

In his delirious ramblings, Black Fang confessed everything.

"Really? Chu Wanhe and Ye Shengxiong are hooking up..."

Yege wasn't particularly surprised by the result, so she didn't react much.

After Black Fang broke free from the Blood Spirit Illusion, he had already fainted again.

Ye Ge turned to the jailer and asked, "Did you record it all?"

"Yes, it was recorded," the jailer said.

......

After watching the interrogation video, Ye Quan remained silent for a long time.

Night Owl and Zhou Yuqing exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke.

"I never expected that Shengxiong would still do such a stupid thing in the end."

Ye Quan sighed, a hint of sadness showing in her light gray eyes.

He is, after all, his grandson.

To say that I felt absolutely nothing would be a lie.

Ye Quan, with his hands behind his back, looked at Ye Ge: "You discovered his betrayal at the birthday banquet, why didn't you report it?"

Ye Ge said calmly, "My cousin is actually a very cautious person. The moment I caught him drugging the drug, he used his soul power to vaporize the drug in his hand into nothingness, so I have no evidence."

"Even if you believe me, your uncle is still your son, and your cousin is your grandson. If I speak recklessly without evidence, it will only make things difficult for you."

"Actually, I had the opportunity to get rid of him right after the birthday banquet ended."

"But if I kill him without any evidence, it will surely provoke the anger of my uncle's lineage."

“My father’s other brothers and sisters will also use this as an excuse to impeach him for his position as head of the family.”

Yes, the Ye family is not actually united.

As a family of demonized humans, the genes of fighting, bravery, and never giving up are etched in their blood. Grandfather Ye Quan has more than a dozen descendants, and every demonized person with the surname Ye is fiercely competitive, whether dealing with outsiders or their own kind.

Furthermore, the Ye family doesn't place much emphasis on the distinction between direct and collateral lines. As long as you possess Ye family blood and are strong enough and capable enough, you are qualified to compete for the position of clan leader. This makes the competition for the clan leader position even more intense.

Back then, Night Owl was able to stand out from more than a dozen direct and collateral descendants of the Night Family and become the final patriarch. Naturally, he also fought his way out of a path full of intrigue, bloodshed, and bones.

Although the Ye family, a family of demonized humans, has always been called "a group of war madmen" by outsiders, in reality, if any member of the Ye family truly only had "killing without thinking," such a person would probably have been eliminated within the family and would never be seen by outsiders.

Ye Quan looked at Ye Ge, nodded with satisfaction, and showed a kind smile: "It's rare that you have so many thoughts, but you could have talked to Grandpa in private. Do you think Grandpa wouldn't believe you?"

"Hehe, I know Grandpa loves me the most." Ye Ge smiled innocently like a child. "But I don't think it's necessary, because I believe that after the commotion my cousin and I made that night, you must have noticed something. At least one of the chefs saw it, right? You would definitely have investigated."

“After you finish your investigation, you will definitely have a better understanding of the situation. Even though you still don’t have any evidence, having a clear understanding is enough for you.”

"..."

Ye Quan gazed at Ye Ge and remained silent for a long while.

The younger generation is truly formidable...

Ye Quan silently said this to himself.

Then he turned around, slowly walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, and gazed at the moonlight in the distance. He didn't speak for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Night Owl said, "Father, about this matter..."

There's no need to discuss Ye Shengxiong further.

The elders who knew about his actions but tacitly approved of them and even provided him with the layout blueprints for the hidden sentries were naturally also guilty.

Ye Quan closed his eyes and said calmly, "Go and do it. Do what needs to be done. You are now the head of the Ye family, you don't need to ask me anymore."

The Ye family has always had only one attitude towards traitors.

Night Owl understood his father's meaning and said no more: "Okay."

......

Three days later.

Ye Shengxiong's father, and everyone in his lineage, including all his confidants and subordinates, all disappeared from the Ye family.
