4073 Would Definitely Not Be Able To Escape This Time (1)
For a moment, Steward He couldn’t react at all, and stared blankly at the dagger, not knowing what happened.
After a while, he raised his head and stared at Huang Sanbai in disbelief.
“Elder Sanbai, you…you…”
However, it was too late for him to react at this time.
The dagger had been specially soaked in a fast-acting poison that would be deadly within a few breaths.
Therefore, Steward He fell backwards without even finishing a sentence.
His body hit the ground heavily and remained motionless.
Until his death, he didn’t understand why Huang Sanbai, one of the most esteemed Elders of the family, would suddenly attack him.
He obviously did everything according to Huang Sanbai’s request, and things would go wrong because the information provided by Huang Sanbai was wrong, not his responsibility.
“Tsk, I didn’t expect that dead girl to be very capable. She can even see through such a scheme. It’s really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, this old man is simple-minded, and everything has been exposed. He hasn’t seen what’s wrong yet. He even ran back to me. Otherwise, if the things I did behind my back got to the Patriarch and the others, it would be hard to explain.”
After being frustrated, Huang Sanbai felt somewhat fortunate.
He pulled out the dagger from Steward He, wiped off the blood on it and frowned in thought.
“Such a big trouble! The failure of the plan is not the worst in itself. The main problem is that I must have alarmed Huang Yueli now. That damn girl must have prepared herself, and she might be thinking about a way to deal with me! No, I must think of a better way, and it is best to kill her immediately!”
Huang Sanbai’s expression was hideous, with his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth in the room.
After walking back and forth several times, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“There is no other way! This time, we can only put all our eggs in one basket! Either she dies, or I die! There is no room for manoeuvre!”
Huang Sanbai made up his mind, and couldn’t wait for dawn, so he immediately took advantage of the darkness and slipped out of the Sacred Phoenix Clan’s residence.
The direction he was heading towards was the house located in the centre of the Gravity Island, where all the stewards of Floating Sea lived.
Carefully avoiding pedestrians, he came to one of the courtyards and secretly knocked on the door.
“Who is it? Come here in the middle of the night?” the guard guarding the gate asked strangely.
Huang Sanbai tightened the cloak on his body, and pulled down the hat on his head, covering most of his face, then lowered his voice and said: “I am an old friend of your Steward Jin, please help me inform him, this is a token.”
He took out a suet jade token and handed it to the guard.
The guard glanced at him suspiciously. Although he felt that this person was very suspicious, but after hearing what he said with certainty and the so-called token in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, and went in to report.
Not long after, Steward Jin greeted him personally.
“Oh, isn’t this Elder Huang? Rare guest, really a rare guest! I knew that you came to Floating Sea along with your clan, but according to our Floating Sea’s rules, I can’t meet with friends privately before the God Realm’s Grand Meet. That’s why I didn’t come to visit. Unexpectedly, you came here in person!”
Steward Jin looked very surprised.
