Chapter: 6134

"As he was saying that, Wu Feiyan added: 'However, they have influence in the Northern Federation, which you've also witnessed. Killing them would be a momentary pleasure, but it might make us enemies of the Northern Federation government after that. We can't provoke such a strong country's government. This matter will still need to be handled carefully.'"

After that, Wu Feiyan spoke calmly: "Let's investigate all the data on eligible young people in the Ross-Chiltd family and see if we can send some 'scholars' over."

Wu Tianlin respectfully said: "Most of the Ross-Chiltd family's connections are with Western descendants. They're relatively traditional, and 'scholars' might find it hard to get in... "

Wu Feiyan waved her hand: "Let Wu Yongzhen figure it out, I just want the result."

Wu Tianlin immediately said: "Yes, sir!"

...

When Wu Feiyan decided to send 'scholars' to the Ross-Chiltd family, Leaf's private plane had already taken off from Burlington International Airport and was returning to Flame Nation.

He didn't know if Wu Feiyan could find any clues related to Chen Zhimin and Zhong Yong's deaths in Canton. However, he wasn't worried at all. Even if Wu Feiyan found evidence of their murders, she wouldn't be able to find their corpses or any relevant leads that implicated him.

If they found a clue that the Ross-Chiltd family had once sent someone to destroy evidence at the scene, it would likely cause trouble for the Ross-Chiltd family.

However, Leaf didn't feel guilty about this at all, because he knew that the Ross-Chiltd family was entirely to blame. If they hadn't been so desperate to find Zhou Liyuan and got entangled with the Break the Clear Association, how could they have expected any different outcome?

In the end, it's all just karma for themselves.

For Leaf, this trip to the Northern Federation was a bountiful harvest.

He saved Zhou Liyuan and returned the Four Directions' Treasures, and killed Chen Zhimin and Chong Yougong.

Chen Zhimin was Home's greatest thorn in the side, while Chong Yougong was Wu Feiyun's last ducal title; now both have been resolved, which is a significant loss for the Break the Clear Association.

Currently, there are only three senior leaders who will open the Earth Mound Temple left to pose a threat to Leaf: besides Wu Feiyun herself.

Leaf doesn't feel pressed to continue waging guerrilla warfare against the Break the Clear Association; he feels that this is a good opportunity for both sides to temporarily cease hostilities, as Wu Feiyun wouldn't dare to meddle with the Flame Country. After I return, I can relax and study the content of "Nine Heavenly Classics" and look for any other clues in the album left by my father.

Meanwhile, the Flame Country is already safe; Leaf feels it's time to let his wife Xu Churan go home too, as he's been away from her at the Northern Federation for so many days and has been missing her deeply.

So, he used the satellite network on his private plane to call Fee Xin.

The phone connected, and Fee Xin's voice came through: "Mr. Leaf, what do you need?"

Leaf asked her, "Ms. Fee, how's your project progressing? When can Xu Churan reasonably withdraw from it?"

Fee Xin thought for a moment before answering politely: "Mr. Leaf, Xu Churan plays a rather important role in the project as one of three core designers; if we want to complete the preliminary design work and all handovers before construction starts, it'll take at least half a year."

Fee Xin sighed and asked, "Is there no way to let her withdraw smoothly?"

Leaf's expression turned bitter as he replied, "If I were to confront Xu Churan directly, she could withdraw smoothly. However, that would be too harsh, without a proper reason to dismiss someone. In the future, our friendship would also be ruined."

Leaf said, "No need to take it this far. She would definitely feel uncomfortable in her heart."

He then asked Fee Xin, "How much did you invest in this project approximately?" JrNovels.com
