These words touched everyoneâs hearts.
However, the current situation did not allow them any room for regret.
The tattooed man could only pretend not to hear anything. How could he not regret being too impulsive? He only saw the benefits before him and did not realize that the Patriarch was still the Patriarch. How could he provoke the Ji familyâs direct line of descentâ¦

The bay pier was out of signal.
The people sent out by the various factions were the same as those from the Third Southern Hall. They didnât return after being sent out. They didnât send any information at all.
That place had become a restricted area.
No faction could investigate the situation there.
The outside world didnât know what was happening at the harbor, and rumors abounded.
The Third Southern Hallâs idea of independence was not something that could be achieved in a day or two. In addition, Ji Lingfengâs life and death had been unknown for the past six months.
The Third Southern Hallâs style of doing things became more arrogant, not giving Ji Nan any face.
In that caseâ¦
The various factions of the independent continent didnât even need spies to know that the incident at the pier was related to the Third Southern Hall.
The news they received was that Ji Lingfeng was held back by a few elders and didnât realize the abnormality at the pier, hence he did not send anyone over.
Therefore, all the major factions felt that the people controlling the pier were from the Third Southern Hall.
The Xie family.
Upon receiving the news, Old Madam Xieâs eyes relaxed, and her already chubby face became even sharper.
She sneered at Father Xie and his wife and passed the information she had received to them as if she were watching a show. âLook, the Ji family is finished.â
Father Xie took the secret report from the old lady and frowned. In the end, he put it down uneasily and said to the old lady, âAfter all, Ji Lingfeng is your son-in-law and my brother-in-law. If anything happens to him, our family will be implicated.â
He had a point.
The Xie family prospered in the independent continent because of this relationship.
However, ever since Old Madam Xie fell out with Xie Yun last time, she hated the Ji family and even her daughter and son-in-law.
âHmph! Whatâs the use of having a traitorous daughter! Even if weâre still related by blood, do you think she cares about her mother? Since thatâs the case, we might as well let her suffer a little before she realizes the importance of her family!â
Old Madam Xieâs face was stern, not allowing Father Xie to say anything she did not like to hear. She said coldly, âIâll wait for her to beg me.â
At that time, she would suggest supporting Ji Nan in the name of the Xie family to inherit part of the Ji familyâs assets. This way, their family would not suffer a loss.
At the very least, it was better than being unable to get it even though they were relatives.
As for her son-in-lawâ¦
Old Madam Xie had never taken this bit of kinship seriously.
The interests of the independent continent were peopleâs eternal pursuit!

Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
Simon had also received the news.
Now, he was the only one left in his office. After receiving the news from his spies, he frowned and was not as happy as he had imagined.
âAre you saying that Second Elder and the others havenât come out of the old residence yet?â
âYes.â
âThe signal at the pier hasnât been restored? The Hackerâs Alliance still refuses to admit it?â
âThe Hacker Alliance wonât answer the phone. They said that the main computerâs motherboard at HQ has been burned.â
The person couldnât help but say, âHehe, theyâre obviously using that as an excuse, but itâs just too lame and unbelievable.â
The Hacker Allianceâs main computer was more important than their lives. How could its motherboard burn just like that?
