On Beiyu Mountain, a tall and thin man with a long chin was sitting on top of a mountain. He held some small items in his hands and stared at the flames in the brazier in a trance. He slowly placed the items in his hands into the brazier, allowing the flames to slowly devour them.
"It's a call from the Councilman," a female probationary member of the Magic Court came up and handed a phone to Lu Zhantian.
"Put it beside my ear," Lu Zhantian said calmly. He was still placing the items into the brazier.
The probationary member of the Magic Court slowly knelt down and lowered her body slightly. Unfortunately, Lu Zhantian was not interested in looking at her even though she was trying to seduce him.
"Father, are you not satisfied with my arrangement?" Lu Zhantian asked.
"You're only going to bring us more trouble. Mo Fan is no longer the same as before. Even though he hasn't joined any faction, do you know how many authorities are keeping an eye on him? You're being too impatient!" snapped Councilman Lu Xin.
"I didn't do anything that could be used against me. Everything was done according to the rules. Is our Lu family so weak that we have to worry about offending people when we're trying a suspect in a regular trial?" Lu Zhantian held the last item in his hand tightly. He almost crushed it into pieces. "I told you I was going to kill the kid when I heard the news, but you didn't think it was a good idea. I listened to you and waited until the World College Tournament was over before making the decision. The World College Tournament has already ended a long time ago. Why is the assh * * * that killed my brother and your son still living so freely!? Father, do you know how many vultures were eating him when I went to the canyon!? "
Lu Zhantian was enraged as he spoke. He stared at the brazier. The flames in the brazier suddenly expanded and spread to the outside.
"I'm just as angry as you are. I promise you that I won't forgive him, but it's not a perfect plan. From what I know, the guy is a lunatic …" Lu Xin said.
"That's the end of our conversation. You are starting to worry after you rise to a high position," Lu Zhantian said.
The flames spread wildly and burned the items nearby into ashes. Lu Zhantian glanced at the time and slowly rose to his feet. He said to the probationary member of the Magic Court, "It's about time. Ask my men to come down the mountain. I would like to see what the kid has up his sleeves!"
…
Lu Zhantian arrived at the foot of the mountain. There were at least twenty enforcers around him, including a sinister man wearing a half-mask. The man was emitting a monstrous aura.
Vice-Elder Feng Jinglan frowned. He looked at Lu Zhantian with a confused expression and asked, "Elder, is there a reason you've gathered us here?"
"It's just a precaution, just in case anyone dares to look down on the Beiyu Enforcement Union …" Lu Zhantian said.
Feng Jinglan was full of doubts. Just as she was about to continue asking, she saw a judge walking over with a gloomy face. This person was obviously angry.
"Nighthawk?" Feng Jinglan looked at Nighthawk and asked in confusion.
"Lu Zhantian, do you know what you are doing!?" Ye Ying asked coldly.
"I don't need you to tell me what to do. I am the Elder of the Beiyu Mountain Enforcement Union. Piss off!" Lu Zhantian snapped.
"You're playing with fire! You're abusing your position to avenge a personal grudge!!"
"I'm not," Lu Zhantian replied with a disdainful grin.
"Let Mofan's father go before things get out of hand!" Nighthawk snapped furiously.
"He's a suspect, so I brought him here to interrogate him. He's allowed to stay at the Beiyu Mountain for a few days. What's wrong with that? Once I'm done with the interrogation and clear his name, I'll send him back in one piece. Mofan might be like the sun at noon, but I don't think a mere Elder like me has to lower my voice to interrogate him, do I? "Lu Zhantian smiled.
"You have no reason to take his father away!" Nighthawk said.
"Of course I do." Lu Zhantian glanced at the half-masked man beside him. The man's hands were shackled with a dark energy. It was the Enforcement Union's way of suppressing the mental strength of criminals.
"He used to be a Black Clergyman of the Black Vatican, but he has now submitted to the Beiyu Mountain. He's willing to turn over a new leaf and assist us in eliminating the Black Vatican. I've already applied to the Supreme Enforcement Union, and the Councilmen have agreed to it. He told me that an important member of the Black Vatican with a higher position than Great Deacon Hu Jin, Mu He, had a close relationship with Mofan's father, Mo Jiaxing … I wouldn't suspect that Mofan's father, who contributed the most to eliminating the Black Vatican, is a member of the Black Vatican, but I believe I can find some valuable clues from him. After all, the person Mo Jiaxing was in contact with might be Red Cardinal Salan! Nighthawk, is that a good enough reason? "Lu Zhantian looked at Nighthawk with a smug grin.
The Enforcement Union had yet to find out anything about Salan, but Lu Zhantian had learned something about Salan's past, and it was related to Mofan's father. It was great news for Lu Zhantian. Not only could he earn some merit in the Enforcement Union, he could also use the chance to punish Mofan!
"Then why did I receive news that someone is using his father to threaten Mofan!?" Nighthawk said.
"Threaten? I only asked him to tell Mofan that his father is with us. How is that a threat? "Lu Zhantian pointed at Yu Ang.
Nighthawk's face immediately sank. As the leader of the Black Vatican in the Magic City, how could Nighthawk not recognize the important Black Clergy, Yu Ang, who had escaped!
"Don't tell me you don't know about the conflict between Yu Ang and Mofan. You're just trying to provoke him!" Nighthawk said.
"Nighthawk, you're overthinking it. I know Yu Ang and Mofan are old acquaintances. Now that Yu Ang has turned over a new leaf, there's no reason he wouldn't tell Mofan about it. I'll be the mediator to resolve the conflict between them. After all, Yu Ang can help us find more members of the Black Vatican," Lu Zhantian said.
Nighthawk was enraged after hearing Lu Zhantian's words. Lu Zhantian was clearly setting a trap for Mofan!
Nighthawk was aware that Yu Ang had been arrested and was helping the Beiyu Enforcement Union to hunt down the members of the Black Vatican. He initially thought Lu Zhantian would focus on eliminating the members of the Black Vatican. To his surprise, Lu Zhantian was using Yu Ang's grudge against Mofan to avenge his brother, Lu Yilin!
Mofan had killed Lu Yilin in Peru for murdering his teammates. Many people knew about it. The Lu Clan had no intention of letting Mofan go, either. However, when Mofan won the World College Tournament, the Lu Clan decided not to take any action against Mofan. To their surprise, Lu Zhantian insisted that Mofan pay the price for murdering his brother!
"I want to see Mo Jiaxin. I need to know if he's being tortured by you!" Nighthawk said.
"He's doing fine. I'll take full responsibility for it. I won't let you go easy on him. Nighthawk, I'm the Head of the Enforcement Union. Stop telling me what to do, do you understand? "Lu Zhantian said.
"You … you …" Nighthawk was left speechless by the anger.
Nighthawk glanced at the members of the Enforcement Union. He could roughly guess what Lu Zhantian was planning to do. He could only hope that Mofan would calm down. Mo Jiaxin was most likely going to be fine. Lu Zhantian was not bold enough to kill Mofan's father in the name of the Enforcement Union.
"He's here!" Yu Ang looked at the slope with an excited grin.
He could finally see Mo Fan's crazed appearance. It had been so long, and Yu Ang had been waiting for this day!
Nighthawk glanced at the slope and saw Mofan walking toward them with a Western man in a strange outfit. Nighthawk could sense the murderous intent in Mofan's eyes!
"Mofan, calm down. Give me a day, and I'll make Lu Zhantian release your father in one piece," Nighthawk quickly went up to Mofan. He could only advise Mofan against it.
The Beiyu Mountain was an important base of the Enforcement Union. The Beiyu Mountain had the right to punish anyone who tried to use violence here. Lu Zhantian was using the grudge between Yu Ang and Mofan to provoke Mofan with Mo Jiaxin's name, just so Mofan would make a move at the Beiyu Mountain. That way, Lu Zhantian would have a valid reason to punish Mofan!
So many members of the Enforcement Union were willing to testify that Mofan was the first to threaten the Beiyu Mountain. Legally speaking, Mofan was being too reckless!
"Nighthawk, I know," Mofan said coldly, looking at Nighthawk.
"It's good that you know. I was really worried that you would do something impulsive. Don't let these cunning people influence your emotions. Just hold on for a little longer, I can guarantee that your father will be fine," Nighthawk said seriously.
"He's not dead, but you should know that Yu Ang used to work for the Black Vatican. I'll send him here sometimes to interrogate him about the Black Vatican … Yu Ang happens to know your father," Lu Zhantian said to Mofan indifferently.
At this moment, Yu Ang also began to laugh. His eyes curved into a vicious arc. He wanted to watch Mo Fan's expression, watch as Mo Fan collapsed and went crazy. Then, Mo Fan would pounce on him like a mad dog. That way, his wish would come true!
"Yu Ang is still a prisoner. Right now, he's just a prisoner on death row that the Enforcement Union is using to dig out the Black Vatican …" Nighthawk said once again. Nighthawk didn't want Mo Fan to mistakenly think that the Enforcement Union was colluding with Yu Ang.
"I'm aware of that too," Mofan said.
Ling Ling had already investigated the whole incident. She even knew it was a trap!
However, Mofan would not let it slide!
There was no way he would tolerate something that had crossed his bottom line! Besides, Yu Ang had crossed two of Mofan's bottom lines!
First, he had used his father as a threat!
Secondly, the matter with Xu Zhaoting was a knot in Mo Fan's heart. No matter how much Yu Ang wanted to change his ways, no matter how much he wanted to help the Magic Court, as long as he knew about Yu Ang's whereabouts, Mo Fan would personally twist his head off!
