Extra Chapter - The Puppeteer (2)

the family's power grew rapidly. Although it wasn't the most powerful martial arts family, it was definitely not the weakest."As the head of a prominent Eastern family, there was one thing that cause..."You're still young, you see things too superficially."

The middle-aged man shook his head, a look of confidence on his face. "It seems you don't know much about the top ten strange poisons. That's why they are called strange poisons - because the toxicity of these ten kinds of poison exceeds human expectations."

The first of the top ten most bizarre poisons is called Pao Jie Zhen. It was named after a weapon because this poison specifically targets invulnerable bodies.

No matter how strong the resistance to poison was before, it would be useless against this strange toxin.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Renjie's eyes lit up immediately.

"Are you saying this poison could kill Ye Bufan"

"It won't kill him, but it will cause all his cultivation to vanish completely within a minute. He won't even be able to move a finger, making him as good as dead."

The East Asian man, Dong Fangren, looked incredibly skeptical. "This powerful You sure you're not lying to me, and that this poison is real"

"I poisoned it, and I take the risk. What's the point of deceiving you"

With a flick of his wrist, the middle-aged man produced a small white bottle from his palm.

"You know how hard this is to find. I've been searching for the ingredients needed to make the armor-piercing cone ever since you were last put under house arrest. I only just gathered everything three days ago and finished refining it."

This thing is only this small, but it's priceless. If it weren't for dealing with Ye Bufan, I really wouldn't be willing to take it out.

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the small vial in his hand, as if gazing upon a priceless treasure. His expression was one of pure delight.

On the other hand, Dongfang Renjie quickly calmed down: “Don't forget that Ye Bufan is a medical immortal. Even if your poison is powerful, it wouldn't be easy to poison him.”

"This is the truth, but I have my own way. The armor piercing cone is colorless and odorless, you can't even tell it's there."

"And as for poisoning, I have other plans. You don't need to worry about that."

The middle-aged man said, "You just need to follow my arrangements. Once Ye Bufan is dealt with, you'll help me settle the major affairs in the capital."

"That sounds good, but there's something I don't understand. Since you're so well-planned, so capable, and have everything under control, why would you need me Couldn't you just do it yourself"

At this point, Dongfang Renjie's eyes suddenly sharpened. As the only heir to the Dongfang family, he was no fool, and was very smart indeed.

Because some things are inconvenient to handle in person, although I have the ability, I ultimately lack status and position in China. Some matters require you to take center stage.

After all, you are the heir of the Eastern family. Once you become the head, you'll have money when you need it and power when you need it. You can quickly stabilize the situation.

The Eastern man, Jie, let out a cold smile. "So you were using me as a weapon And then, after you succeeded, you'd get rid of me"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "That's impossible! I'm not the kind of person who betrays someone after they help me. Besides, the world is so big, even if we killed Ye Bufan, relying on me alone would definitely be impossible to control everything. The best course of action is for us to cooperate."

The oriental man sneered: “Why should I believe you”

"First, this isn't our first collaboration. Second, do you really have other options"

The middle-aged man looked at him, "As the eldest son of the Eastern family, are you willing to live such a lifeless existence for the rest of your life"

A true man should live as a hero and die as a valiant ghost. In a lifetime, one must make his mark. If you shrink back in fear, you disgrace your name!

The expression on the Eastern man's face changed rapidly, clearly torn between conflicting thoughts. For a moment, he seemed unable to make a decision.

The middle-aged man seemed to have the upper hand, standing there without urging or speaking, as if he already had everything under control.

After a long time, Dong Fang Ren Jie gritted his teeth and made his final decision.

"I can cooperate with you, but you have to show some sincerity. At the very least, you need to let me go and become the head of the Dongfang Family."

"Okay, just wait here. I'll take care of the rest."

Seeing the other party agree, the middle-aged man laughed and then disappeared into the room.

Two hours later, the head of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Jianye, suddenly called an emergency family meeting, gathering a dozen or so members to the family compound for a secret discussion.

These people are all core members of the Eastern family, and those whom Mr. Dong Fang Jian Ye trusts most in his daily life.

The content of the meeting was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected the head of the family to suddenly step down and pass on his position to Dongfang Renjie.

Although Dongfang Jianye is a bit older, he's in good health and has a sharp mind. There are no signs that he intends to step down.

Whatever the case may be, this is a domestic affair of the Dongfang family. Since the head of the house has made a decision, these people can only follow it.

Moreover, Dongfang Construction only has one heir, Dongfang Renjie. Although he was previously under house arrest, that was a family matter. It is only natural for him to pass the position on to his own son now.

Everything went very smoothly. Dongfang Renjie successfully inherited the head of the family and quietly left the small building.

More than ten core members of the Eastern Family received a message forbidding them from spreading the word. Although they still didn't understand what was going on, they had to obey orders. They just had to follow instructions.

Hong Kong has been buzzing with excitement these days. The entire city is adorned with festive lights and decorations, radiating an atmosphere of joy and celebration.

The reason is simple, Gao's eldest son, Gao Dajian, and Zheng's head of the family, Zheng Huafie, will be getting married tomorrow.

After Ye Bufan left, the Gao family and the Zheng family became the two most prominent families on Hong Kong Island.

Gao Daqiang is Ye Bufan's best friend, while Zheng Huafie is the person Ye Bufan trusts most. The two communicate with each other, trusting each other completely and without any barriers.

>As time passed, they fell in love little by little.

What the large families spoke of was a match made in heaven, two top-tier families marrying each other, with no one objecting.

Although there was some hesitation on the originally scheduled wedding day, Ye Bufan's return brought great joy to both families. They quickly set a date for the celebration and after preparations, they will be married tomorrow.

To marry someone you love is considered one of life's major milestones. Gao Daqiang was busy running around, happy as can be.

Especially having just received news that Ye Bufan will be arriving on Hong Kong Island tonight and becoming the best man for the two of them tomorrow, it made him overjoyed. He's busy making arrangements to have the Gao family prepare a proper reception.

At that moment, the head steward of the Zheng family rushed over in a panic and secretly passed on a message, saying that Zheng Huafie had suddenly disappeared.

The Zheng family was also powerful, but they couldn't find anyone after searching for a long time. Moreover, this kind of thing couldn't be publicized. Helpless, they had to seek help from the Gao family.

Upon hearing this news, Gao Dagang's expression immediately turned cold.

He knew Zheng Huafie's strength. The former Dao Nüzi, having received guidance and abundant resources from Ye Bufan consecutively, had reached the peak of the Hunyuan stage and would never disappear without a reason.

Furthermore, tomorrow is the day of their wedding, it's impossible for them to disappear at this time. It's obvious that someone is behind this.

Just as he was about to look for someone, his cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang, it was a strange call. you haven't told me how you're feeling.""This illness of yours isn't easy to talk about, come with me privately, let's have a chat."After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he stood up and walked directly u...
