After a brief conversation among the three, their eyes fell on Jiang Tao.
"I am asking you."
Song Wu said, "Where is that kid named Chen now?"
"Well, I’m not quite sure either."
Jiang Tao replied cautiously, "Chen Fan was staying at the Martial Arts Association in Anshan City before..."
"Anshan City?"
The fourth elder of the Song Family interrupted, frowning: "Isn’t Anshan City a small city?"
"Small city?"
The fifth elder of the Song Family widened his eyes, seemingly unable to believe that such a powerful figure would stay in a small city.
"Kid, you’re not messing with us, are you?"
"No, my life is in your hands now, how could I possibly mess with you?"
Jiang Tao smiled bitterly, "But that was before the beast tide outbreak. Now, most of those small peripheral cities have almost all fallen. Even some medium-sized cities have been attacked. Anshan City has probably already fallen as well."
"You mean he’s at your headquarters now?" The fourth elder of the Song Family asked.
This was the situation they least wanted to face.
"That’s probably the case." Jiang Tao nodded.
"Probably?" The fourth elder of the Song Family said displeased: "You’re from the same association, don’t you know whether he’s at the headquarters or not?"
"I really don’t know."
Jiang Tao quickly said, "Since that day we parted in the rainforest, we haven’t been in contact."
The three Song Family members exchanged glances.
It didn’t seem like the guy in front of them was lying.
"It seems like that kid named Chen is most likely at their headquarters, with that Elder Wang." The fourth elder of the Song Family said.
"That Elder Wang is a figure from a thousand years ago, his strength is extraordinary. Second Brother is right. In this situation, even if our Eldest Brother intervenes, it won’t help. We can only ask the Ancestor to come out." The fifth elder of the Song Family agreed.
"That’s the only way."
Song Wu sighed.
If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to have a direct conflict with the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association.
But this time, it involved his brother’s death, implicating the Revival Association. It was already known throughout Yan Country.
If they chose to let it go this time, then in the future, any Tom, Dick, or Harry would dare to trouble the Song Family.
Jiang Tao, listening at the side, felt his heart pounding.
He knew that this time things had gotten huge; the association might be facing the greatest crisis in its history.
But it wasn’t his intention.
Who could have foreseen that these people would have such great abilities, infiltrating the headquarters? Even if he was lucky this time and avoided it, what about next time, and the time after that?
"Second Brother, what are we going to do with this kid?"
The fifth elder of the Song Family squinted his eyes, exuding an aura of extreme danger.
Clearly, he meant to kill to silence.
"No, don’t kill me!"
Jiang Tao’s heart raced frantically, he shouted hysterically: "I’ve told you everything you wanted to know. Please, in the name of my full cooperation, let me go. I swear, I won’t reveal a single word, and besides, it’s really not our fault."
His tone was full of grievance, "It’s those Feng Country people who bullied us too far. We clearly did as they ordered, handing over all the collected treasures, but they still wouldn’t let us go."
"Then you should have obediently let them kill you, and there wouldn’t be so much trouble now." The fifth elder of the Song Family snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.
"What?"
Jiang Tao’s mouth gaped open, his eyes full of disbelief.
"What, didn’t you hear?" The fifth elder of the Song Family said impatiently: "Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused my Song Family? If you had obediently died back then, we wouldn’t have so many problems now."
Jiang Tao stood there, completely dumbfounded.
"Why waste so much time on him? Let me send him on his way."
The fourth elder of the Song Family said with a sinister smile: "My little treasure has been hungry for so long, it’s time for a good meal. The organs of a Meridian Refining Martial Artist aren’t something ordinary people can compare with."
As he spoke, he took out a black box from before.
"No! No! Don’t!"
Jiang Tao immediately reacted, letting out a hysterical scream.
He didn’t want to endure that kind of excruciating pain; that’s why he chose to submit. But now, even after submission, he couldn’t escape his previous fate?
"Enough."
Song Wu said: "We still have some use for him. Killing him would only mean we’d have to capture someone else."
"Still have some use for him?" The fifth elder of the Song Family looked puzzled.
"Second Brother means? Let him identify that person named Chen?" The fourth elder of the Song Family’s eyes flashed with surprise.
"What else?"
Song Wu snorted coldly: "Everything needs evidence. If we just go there, only fools would admit they did it. But with him, it’s different. Even with Shi Tao present, there wouldn’t be anything to say. At that time, not just Song Gang’s life, but the losses my Song Family suffered recently, they would all have to compensate for!"
"Exactly!"
The two of them exclaimed in joy.
Due to this matter, the Song Family had paid a hefty price to appease the people from the Revival Association, not to mention the huge initial investment.
Just because John died, this investment almost went down the drain.
If they didn’t make that guy named Shi pay heavily, the Song Family would never let it go!
"You, you want me to identify Chen Fan?"
Jiang Tao’s face turned ashen, his lips trembling.
"What else?"
The fifth elder of the Song Family said mockingly: "Besides that, do you think you have any other value?"
