After leaving the shop, Li Xuan asked Li Benyu, "Brother Li, if it's convenient, can you tell me what's going on with this Joseph?"
"This …" Li Benyu was somewhat hesitant.
However, Li Benyi said angrily, "Why can't I say it? That Joseph is an ingrate."
After Li Benyi's explanation, Zhou Wen and company finally learned the details.
Just as they had guessed, Joseph's mother and Li Benyu's wife were biological sisters. Later, when Joseph was twelve or thirteen, their parents entered a dimensional zone and never returned. Joseph became an orphan.
Therefore, Li Benyu and his wife adopted Joseph. Although they couldn't say that they treated him the same as Li Benyi, they tried their best to take care of him. They allowed him to live a carefree life and even gave him all sorts of resources and opportunities.
On the surface, Joseph was respectful to them. When he grew up, he even helped them run the factory, but to their surprise, he had secretly done something, causing many of the factory's funds to go missing. It nearly caused the factory to close down.
Only then did Li Benyu suspect Joseph and find out that there was something wrong with him. If it wasn't for his deceased mother, sending him to jail would have been enough.
As for the details, Li Benyi didn't say much. However, he could tell that Joseph had definitely done more than one thing. Now, he even had designs on their Mythical Companion Egg. He was extremely shameless.
Li Xuan and Zhou Wen were taken aback when they heard that. They never expected such a person to exist in the world.
They hadn't heard of this from rumors. Today, they had seen Joseph's face with their own eyes. It was no wonder Li Benyi hated him so much.
"Such a person actually caught the eye of a Guardian. From the looks of it, the Guardian's selection criteria aren't that impressive," Li Xuan said.
Li Benyi curled his lips and said, "Do you know what Joseph's Guardian's name is? His name is Lie. "
"The Guardian ranked 14th?" Li Xuan and Zhou Wen immediately thought of the Guardian on the rankings.
"Yes. Although Joseph has never said what his Guardian's name is, he can't hide it anymore. I'm guessing that he must have obtained this Guardian in the Maze of Lies. Whatever Guardian he looks for, it's obvious that Joseph and his Guardian aren't good people, "Li Benyi said.
Zhou Wen had previously heard from Sadie and company about the Maze of Lies dimensional zone. It was a very famous dimensional zone near Frost City.
In the Maze of Lies, one absolutely couldn't speak the truth. Once they did, they would be killed by the taboo power of the Maze of Lies. Therefore, humans who entered the maze would typically seal their mouths to prevent themselves from speaking to prevent themselves from triggering the taboo power.
After all, it was impossible for an ordinary human to not tell the truth.
"Dad, why did you stop Zhou Wen? Let Zhou Wen use Tyrant Behemoth and Tai Sui to defeat him. Let's see how arrogant he can be," Li Benyi said.
"After all, he has a Guardian. Don't be too calculative with him." Li Benyu was actually afraid that Zhou Wen would be injured.
Although Tyrant Behemoth and Tai Sui might be very strong, just as Joseph said, people now felt that Guardians were invincible. Companion Beasts were no match for them. Otherwise, how could every Guardian on the rankings be ranked at the top? None of the Companion Beasts ranked higher than the Guardians.
Therefore, Li Benyu stopped them in time to prevent Zhou Wen and company from being injured by the Guardian.
"So what if he's a Guardian? Tyrant Behemoth alone can defeat him, much less Tai Sui, "Li Benyi said.
"So in your hearts, my Guardian is so weak. It's no wonder Uncle isn't willing to lend me the Companion Egg. So you look down on my Guardian." At some point in time, Joseph had followed them and heard Li Benyi's words.
"Little Yi was just saying. Don't take the child's words seriously," Li Benyu had no choice but to say.
"No, Little Yi has a huge misunderstanding of my Guardian and me. From the looks of it, I have to resolve this misunderstanding." Joseph looked at Li Benyi and said, "Little Yi, since you think his Companion Beast is stronger than my Guardian, why don't we make a bet? Let him fight me. If he wins, it will prove that what you said is correct. I won't mention borrowing Companion Eggs in the future. If he loses, why don't you lend me your Companion Egg? "
After Joseph said that, he added with a smile, "Since you are so confident in his Companion Beast, don't tell me you don't dare to agree to my challenge?"
Without waiting for Li Benyu to speak, Li Benyi said, "Of course I dare, but Zhou Wen and company are guests. I can't trouble them."
Joseph looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Little Yi is so confident in you. Don't you want to help him?"
Li Benyu hurriedly interrupted and said, "Joseph, they are the family head's guests. Don't mess around."
However, Joseph curled his lips and said, "What family head's guests? Aren't they just friends of Lance and Sadie? Lance has already been defeated by me. When I'm free in the future, I'll defeat Sadie and let everyone in the family know who the true genius is. "
"Are you sure you want to challenge me?" Zhou Wen suddenly asked.
"Of course. If Little Yi is willing to let you represent him, I don't mind letting him know that only Guardians are truly powerful existences in this world," Joseph said.
"Alright, wait a moment." Zhou Wen took out his phone and sent a message to Lance, Sadie, and company.
After all, he was a guest invited by Lance and Sadie. It didn't seem good to kill the Guardian of the Ultimate Family Clan here, so he told the two of them first.
Joseph was a distance away from Zhou Wen, but his eyes were very good. He realized that the friend's profile picture that Zhou Wen was communicating with belonged to Lance.
"You only want to investigate me now? Isn't it too late? "Joseph said contemptuously.
It didn't take him much effort to defeat Lance because Lance was only at the Epic stage. He didn't even have a Mythical Companion Beast. It was very easy for him to win with a Guardian.
Therefore, he was very sure that Lance didn't have any information to reveal to Zhou Wen.
However, when Joseph saw Zhou Wen's message, he nearly blew his top.
"There's a person named Joseph in your family who wants to challenge me. As he's a member of your family after all, I want to ask for your opinion. Regarding the three options below, which one is more suitable? Please reply as soon as possible."
A: Beat him to death.
B: Cripple him.
C: Knock him out.
Then, Joseph realized that Zhou Wen had copied the message and sent it to Sadie.
Beep!
Soon, Lance and Sadie replied. Their answers were the same: "A."
