"Li Waner!" The slap caused the right side of Chen Mu's face to swell up. It also seemed to have struck Chen Mu deep in his heart. It seemed to have caused the relationship between the Five Generation Sky Clan and the Senate to show signs of breaking apart!
However, it was clear that Chen Mu, who had been evaluated by the Governor as someone with great ambition but little talent, did not consider the relationship between his family and the Senate. Instead, he was extremely furious. He had never suffered such a huge loss since he was young, and no one had dared to slap him in such an unbridled manner.
The woman before him had actually dared to slap him. Furthermore, she had done so because of Wang Baole. Chen Mu's eyes turned red as he glared at Li Waner. If looks could kill, he would have killed Li Waner on the spot!
Unfortunately, his cultivation was not as good as Li Waner's. Meanwhile, Li Waner's eyes were as cold as ice. Chen Mu sensed a dangerous glint in them.
She's going to kill me! Chen Mu came to his senses abruptly. His breathing quickened. He could sense Li Waner's murderous intent. In fact, Li Waner was indeed thinking the same thing. In her opinion, as long as Chen Mu was dead, even her father would not be able to force her to consummate her marriage with him.
Once he was dead, everything would be resolved. She would not have to worry about it anymore.
Once he was dead, all the problems would cease to be problems. She would not have to worry about it anymore.
This thought kept surfacing in her mind. It caused Li Waner's gaze to turn increasingly dangerous. Chen Mu shuddered. He retreated slowly and took out a jade slip. While keeping his guard up against Li Waner, he immediately retreated from Li Waner's office. He did not even look back after he left Li Waner's office.
Li Waner did not give chase. She stood there and watched coldly as Chen Mu fled like a stray dog. The dangerous glint in her eyes did not dissipate. Instead, it intensified. This was her true personality. Back then, Kim Do-myung had only taken liberties with her and she had pursued him and almost castrated him. One could only imagine how domineering she was.
The reason she had endured Chen Mu's actions before was because of her father's stern warning and exhortation. That was why Li Waner had no choice but to endure until now for the sake of the so-called 'big picture'.
But now, she did not want to endure anymore. However, even though Li Waner's personality was simple, she was not stupid. She knew very well that killing someone was easy, but how to kill someone without implicating herself was the difficult thing.
That was why she did not immediately take action. Instead, she sat in her chair and rubbed the space between her eyebrows as she fell into deep thought. She slowly formed a plan to kill Chen Mu in her mind!
At that moment, Chen Mu, who was about to be killed by Li Waner in his mind, was filled with fear, madness, and anger. He quickly returned to his office. It was only when he reached there that he felt a little safer. He could not help but curse loudly.
"Bitch, whore, Li Waner, you actually wanted to kill me. That Wang Baole is a pig. You won't be any better!" Chen Mu panted rapidly. He was about to take out his sound transmission ring to contact his family, but after the sound transmission ring was taken out, he restrained himself and put it down. He knew very well that even if his family found out about Li Waner and Wang Baole, they would not do as he wished.
After all, to his family, whether it was him or Li Waner, they were not important. What was important was the alliance with the Senate. Chen Mu could imagine that if his family found out about this, they would definitely make him choose to ignore it. They would even warn him to immediately apologize to Li Waner.
Similarly, the head of the Senate would do the same. The goal of both parties was to allow the alliance marriage to proceed smoothly. After all, there were many other factions who were opposed to this marriage. This was also the reason why the two parties were only engaged and not married.
After all, the Federation's environment was very delicate. It was in a certain balance. Everything had to be done carefully. Otherwise, it was very likely that it would cause unimaginable trouble and consequences. According to the head of the Senate and the Chen family's plan, after the engagement had been balanced for a year and a half, the other factions would be able to accept it. Then, the marriage would be completed.
At the same time, if something went wrong during this process, although both parties were unwilling to do so, it had to be said that this would leave them some leeway. However, unless it was absolutely necessary, neither party wanted to do so.
Chen Mu, who knew all of this, could only grit his teeth. However, he could not tolerate this matter. Therefore, he sat there and narrowed his eyes. After thinking for a moment, his eyes shone with determination and he immediately contacted his family.
He did not talk about the conflict between him and Li Waner. Instead, he asked about the investigation results of the small drum. That day, his former subordinate represented his so-called master and gave him the small drum.
After Chen Mu received this drum, he felt an incomparably evil and valiant aura within it. Therefore, he secretly sent it to his family so that they could study it. At the same time, he also reported this matter to his family so that they could make a decision.
At this moment, his family gave him an answer. In fact, during this period of time, the entire Chen family had been studying the small drum. They even invited Laozu of the Chen family. They already knew the identity of the person who gave the small drum. They knew that the other party must be related to the Divine Armament Catacombs.
At the same time, they also saw the pros and cons of this cooperation. Most importantly, after repeated confirmation, this small drum was indeed the core controller of some kind of puppet!
Although they did not know what kind of puppet it was, its power was indeed at the level of a perfected Core Formation!
This piqued the interest of the Chen family. After all, Laozu of the Chen family was only at the perfected Core Formation realm. With this puppet, the Chen family's power could be said to have doubled!
Therefore, after the discussion, Chen Mu coincidentally came to inquire again. Hence, Chen Mu's father stepped forward and gave Chen Mu an answer!
"Mu 'er, regarding this matter … we can work together. However, you must keep it a secret. Furthermore, if any problems arise, it will be your own actions. It will have nothing to do with the family!"
"However, Laozu wants me to tell you this. If you successfully control this perfected Core Formation realm puppet and come out of this unscathed, you will be the next head of the Chen family. There will even be a place for you in the Sky Clan's Council of Elders!"
When Chen Mu heard the first half of the sentence, his heart skipped a beat. However, when he heard the second half, his breathing quickened. His bloodshot eyes shone with an intense light. He knew very well what kind of power he would gain if he became the head of the family. He also knew what kind of status it would represent if he had a place in the Sky Clan's Council of Elders. It could be said that he would be at the top of the hierarchy in the entire Five Generation Sky Clan.
He would even have the right to speak with the Head Senator on equal terms.
This caused a hint of madness to appear in Chen Mu's eyes. After a short discussion with his father and learning about the small drum's origins according to the family's analysis, he ended the call.
As he put down the voice transmission ring, Chen Mu took a deep breath. The anger and murderous intent that had risen because of the incident with Li Waner was now unleashed without restraint. He was even more determined. Gritting his teeth, he made his decision.
"So what if I work with the unknown existence of the Divine Armament Catacombs!
"Even if it is a demon, I don't care. As long as it succeeds, I will be able to stake a glorious future on it. This matter … I'll take the risk!"
A terrifying light danced in Chen Mu's eyes. After coming to a decision, he immediately informed the family and waited. A few days later … when the small drum was delivered to him by his family, Chen Mu struck the small drum with a hint of madness in his heart that very night!
The moment the small drum was struck, the secret chamber he was in suddenly turned icy cold. It was as if a formless wind had appeared out of nowhere. As it blew around the room, a visible layer of frost appeared on the walls. The frost grew thicker and thicker. In the end, the entire secret chamber was like an ice cave!
Yet, the ice was black and exuded an unparalleled chill.
"I agree to the alliance. However … how can you guarantee that I will be able to obtain and control the puppet at the perfected Core Formation realm that you speak of? I want to obtain the puppet first! "Chen Mu's body was slightly cold, but for the sake of his glorious future, he gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice.
As his voice echoed in the secret chamber, a blurry figure suddenly appeared on one of the ice walls. That figure seemed to be within the ice, as if there was another world within the ice. It was a person in a black robe. His face couldn't be seen clearly, but the moment he appeared, Chen Mu's breathing stopped. He felt a terrifying pressure crushing down on him.
His body trembled, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. His eyes were filled with shock. Before he could continue speaking, the black-robed person's deep and hoarse voice came from within the ice.
"The puppet you want … you will have to create it yourself. I will teach you the method of creating it … As for the guarantee of control you mentioned, once you nourish the small drum with your own blood, it will belong to you. It will also be the core of the puppet …
"However, due to some reasons that your family might be aware of, you can only create the puppet here … and I only have one request for you … On the day the puppet is completed, you must … kill Wang Baole!"
