As the night deepened, Fang Yue's figure quickly vanished into the darkness.
~~~~~~
A month later, within the Wu Family estate in Yujing City.
"What? The Patriarch is dead?"
A middle-aged man turned pale with shock upon hearing the news.
He was Wu Youxin, the Second Elder of the Wu Family. He was also Wu Wende's uncle and had long been coveting the position of Patriarch.
"Yes, Second Elder. This is the news we received from the Shui Long Bang. It's absolutely reliable," a subordinate said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, a flicker of joy flashed in Wu Youxin's eyes.
But he quickly remembered that the Patriarch's death was a devastating blow to the Wu Family.
He had no choice but to suppress his inner joy and feign a look of grief.
"The Patriarch was brilliant and powerful. How could he have died so suddenly? What in the world happened?" Wu Youxin asked in a heavy voice.
