Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 508: Reaching a consensus and preparing for the dinner

After scolding the current and previous heads of the Mercury family, the head of the Buyetian family seemed to be in a good mood and continued speaking after a brief pause.

"Not only are these two from the Mercury Family idiots, but the rest of the princes and nobles are now nothing but uninteresting garbage."

"The Qiu family's defeat by Art Mercury back then proves they're nothing but good-for-nothings... Even if the current heir is somewhat promising, he'll eventually be dragged down by his family's foolish, short-sighted, pedantic, and rigid elders. I really don't understand why Art Mercury is only soft-hearted in foreign policy and soft on Allan. He's actually quite soft on the inside, tough on the outside..."

"The Qiu family actually believes in outdated things like morality and ethics, and now they still rely on family rules to govern their own family... It's ridiculous!"

"The Sorens family are also a bunch of idiots. They know nothing but intrigue... The Universal Chamber of Commerce hasn't seen a major technological upgrade in twenty years. I doubt the current head of the Sorens family can still master all of the Sorens family's supreme alchemy. It's no wonder that such a rigid and xenophobic family has become the worst of the five major families in recent years."

"As for the Shenglan Family... haha, they're not much better. Now that the heir dispute has become so turbulent, the eldest and third sons haven't even used the family's influence in parliament, nor have they done any propaganda or supported their own faction's confidants to participate in the Speaker's election... Not a single one has the sense to even come and pay their respects or give me a gift. They only care about winning over Huo Shu and Huo Le... What a joke! Are Huo Shu and Huo Le better at talking than I am? After all, I still have the status of aunt and uncle, and no one has thought of using them."

After the head of the Buyetian family gave sharp comments and criticisms on the other four royal nobles, he came to a simple conclusion.

"So, let me be honest. In my opinion, you can kill any of the four royal nobles. If you choose the right target, I strongly support you in killing them."

"Even some of the idiots in my family, I've been annoyed with them for a long time. If the bloodline of the Buyetian family wasn't so precious, I would have really wanted to do another purge sometimes."

When Lin Yu heard the words of the Buye Tian family head, he did not think that the other party meant to give in directly.

A woman of this status, the head of a family, who has been at the pinnacle of power for who knows how long, even if she looks like a little girl, is a ruthless person who can easily kill Buye Tianhuole and even control Paris.

Therefore, as long as the other party takes a step back, he must actually be preparing to take three steps forward to "retreat in order to advance."

Lin Yu looked at the head of Buyetian family and spoke calmly.

"But...what actually?"

The head of the Buye Tian family was not surprised that Lin Yu saw through her intentions.

"But in fact, this occasion... or rather, this commission itself, seems to be targeting us in the Buyetian clan," the Buyetian clan head said, holding his chin. "Not only do you want to kill the person I promised to protect, but you also want to do it during Huo Xing's coming-of-age ceremony. I can't help but suspect that the employer behind this commission also has intentions against the Buyetian clan."

"So... I definitely won't help you. At most, I'll turn a blind eye and pretend you never told me anything about this."

The Buyetian Patriarch said calmly, "And if you really succeed, I will still gather the power of the family to seal off the scene and hunt you down with all my might."

Lin Yu laughed when he heard the threatening words from the Patriarch of Buyetian.

"Or... there's a better solution."

"A plan that won't hurt the reputation of the Buyetian family and might even be beneficial to you."

Lin Yu gave an answer - this was also the response that the head of the Buye Tian family wanted to hear the most.

From the moment she commented on other families, Lin Yu was looking forward to Nevernight.

Sure enough, she looked at Lin Yu and spoke with interest.

"tell me the story."

……

……

……

It was already evening when we left the library and the tower.

Although this city is called "The City That Never Sleeps", it still has a cycle of day and night.

It’s just that at night, the city that never sleeps, both the inner and outer cities, are brightly lit, as bright as day.

And at the door of the tower, Buyetian Huo Le was still waiting for Lin Yu.

"Why did it take so long today?"

Buyetian Huo Le looked at Lin Yu and said in surprise.

Lin Yu imitated Fu Luo's appearance and responded half-jokingly: "I haven't been back for too long. I've been trying to build up a good relationship with the head of the family. Don't worry, I said a lot of good things for you."

"Your mother's favorability towards you has greatly increased. Shouldn't you thank me profusely for this?"

Listening to Lin Yu's words, Buyetian Huo Le breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, I thought there was some accident...it turns out it's just because you haven't been back for so long."

"After all, you suddenly want to attend the coming-of-age ceremony as a guest. No matter how you look at it, it's presumptuous. I thought Mother was displeased..."

Huo Le of Buyetian said worriedly, then waved his hand.

"Anyway, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go."

Lin Yu was a little curious: "Where are we going?"

Huo Le of the Nightless Sky said seriously, "Let's go to Wanjin Tianzuo. I've reserved a table at the Garden Restaurant there. After we finish eating, we can go buy some things on the way."

Lin Yu was very surprised: "You really want to thank me, is it necessary to be so formal?"

Nevernight Huo Le curled his lips: "Don't be so self-indulgent... Forboluo, didn't mother just ask if you prepared a generous gift?"

"I guess you haven't actually prepared a gift for Huo Xing... or you're planning on giving her something casual and perfunctory, right?"

Lin Yu immediately protested: "No, I was planning to go to President Paris and hint at blackmailing him..."

"Don't bother Paris. Although he's quite wealthy, he's struggling to make ends meet with his meager salary and the embezzlement he's been able to embezzle from his position to build relationships and help me win over the top executives within the company. He doesn't have any family support," said Huo Le of Buyetian, shaking his head. "Plus, Paris's taste can only be described as desperate."

"You really care about your subordinates, Miss Huo Le. But you're right. If I go to ask for a gift, I'm really afraid that guy will give me a crystal orange ornament..."

As Lin Yu spoke, he also tacitly agreed to Buye Tian Huo Le's plan.

"Let's go then—I'll get changed and we'll be off."

Then, Lin Yu spoke.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

"whats the matter?"

Buyetian Huo Le looked at Lin Yu and asked in confusion.

"Please prepare a formal dress for me," Lin Yu said, then pointed to his casual clothes. "Since we are going to attend the formal event, not only should we bring good gifts...but we also need to wear decent clothes."

"It's better to do some more styling."

Huo Le thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll use my pocket money to buy you a set when we get to Wanjin Tianzuo."
