He came here, on one hand to demand an explanation for his deceased elder brother, and on the other hand, to seek benefits.
After entering the hall, he directly sat in the place where Song Lianfeng originally sat and said, "Speak."
Song Lianfeng’s eyelids twitched twice, then he said, "Mr. Angel, the Revival Association is in danger."
"What!"
Angel nearly jumped out of his chair upon hearing this.
"What did you just say? Our Revival Association is in danger?"
"That’s right."
Song Lianfeng nodded.
"Tch."
Angel quickly calmed down and sneered, "Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? So easily deceived? The Revival Association in danger, I think, clearly it’s your Song Family that is in danger."
"I don’t deny that our Song Family’s situation is quite unfavorable at this time. Someone has already targeted our Song Family and has successfully killed an elder of ours, causing a significant loss. But Mr. Angel, have you considered that it’s not just our Song Family; even your Larsen Clan, and the Revival Association, could be targets this time?"
Angel’s smile gradually froze.
Although he felt that the other party was alarming him intentionally, deliberately scaring him, human nature is always to avoid harm, even potential danger causes worry.
"I know Mr. Angel, you are unwilling to believe it. Actually, I didn’t think about it initially either, only thought they were targeting our Song Family. But if that’s the case, couldn’t they have just dealt with our Song Family? Why make more enemies?"
Song Lianfeng asked.
"Do they not know that Carl is the leader of the Larsen Clan? And behind the Larsen Clan is the entire Revival Association?"
An unsettled expression appeared on Angel’s face.
Indeed, among the families in Yan Country, how could they possibly be oblivious? The Jiangnan Martial Arts Association surely knows too.
Since they know, and still dare act, what does this indicate?
Seeing this, Song Lianfeng knew the initiative of the conversation was in his hands and seized the moment:
"Mr. Angel, I am 100 percent certain that they know Mr. Carl’s identity, and understand clearly that killing Mr. Carl would undoubtedly invite retaliation from the Larsen Clan, even from the entire Revival Association. Yet they still proceed. What does this signify?"
"What does it signify?" Angel asked like a student, obediently.
"It signifies that they have already prepared for an enemy out of our Song Family and the entire Revival Association. Their objective is to eliminate both us and the Revival Association."
"What!"
Angel exclaimed in shock, his face paling, and his legs trembling involuntarily.
No, no way?
The Revival Association’s power in Yan Country isn’t unmatched, but it is certainly formidable.
Who dares target them?
"Could it be the Awakened Association?"
A look of fear appeared in his eyes.
In Yan Country, if there’s any force capable of challenging the Revival Association, other than the Elder Council, it’s the Awakened Association.
The Elder Council should be unlikely.
Because when they traversed the perilous seas to reach Yan Country’s land, it was with the help of the Elder Council.
If the Elder Council intended to harm them, why would they aid their arrival?
Conversely, the Awakened Association has been at odds with them for years, particularly the three S-Class Awakened: The Thunder Emperor and The War Emperor, having reprimanded them more than once.
Thus, they maintained a respectful distance from the Awakened Association, avoiding conflicts whenever possible.
"It shouldn’t be the Awakened Association."
Song Lianfeng shook his head.
If the Awakened Association were the one behind this, there would be no need for resistance.
Take the Thunder Emperor, he’s not only the strongest awakened but also a martial artist in the Divine Cultivation Realm. Even with three of their elders together, they might not be his match.
If the opposition truly aims to eradicate our family and the Awakened Association, there’s no need for such convoluted schemes.
"I also think it shouldn’t be."
Angel nodded vigorously.
"Then who could it be?"
He asked.
"It must be those families at odds with our Song Family and the Revival Association."
Song Lianfeng squinted and said, "They know that if we have a fallout, both sides would suffer great losses, thus they act covertly, intending to break us down one by one with schemes."
"What do you mean?"
Angel scratched his head.
"Mr. Angel, if my Song Family immediately sends people to Jiangnan City upon receiving the news, what do you think will happen?"
"Death?"
Angel widened his eyes.
"That’s right."
Song Lianfeng said, "If my guess is correct, the opposition has already set an ambush on the route to Jiangnan City. As soon as our Song Family members appear, they will launch a Thunder Strike. At that moment, even if our two elders survive, they will be severely injured and unable to participate in the subsequent battle."
Angel inhaled sharply.
"Mr. Angel, if my Song Family suffers heavy losses, what will your Revival Association do? Act as if nothing happened, swallow grievances? Or will you start retaliating? I think no matter which choice your Revival Association makes, it’s within the opposition’s expectations."
Song Lianfeng said.
"Choosing to swallow grievances undoubtedly boosts those people’s arrogance. This time, they only killed a member of the Larsen Clan; next time, they may kill several families within your Revival Association."
"What about retaliation?"
"My Song Family is a precedent."
Song Lianfeng stated.
"This?"
Angel panicked, "Patriarch Song, according to your viewpoint, our Revival Association is entirely at the mercy of others, with no chance to counterattack?"
"No, there’s still a chance."
"What chance?"
"Simple, the Revival Association and our Song Family cooperate and act together."
Song Lianfeng said, glancing at him, "Mr. Angel, if I’m not mistaken, the other members of the Revival Association didn’t plan to act initially, but sent you here to urge our Song Family to act quickly, right?"
"Yes, yes."
Angel hesitated for a moment, then admitted.
Actually, he thought the same way.
After all, his brother’s death was due to the Song Family; who else to demand an explanation from?
But after listening to Song Lianfeng, he realized things weren’t as simple as he thought.
The opposition is targeting not just the Song Family but their Revival Association.
"Mr. Angel, I’ve finished speaking. If you think my words are incorrect, feel free to start making demands."
Song Lianfeng said calmly.
Actually, he wasn’t deliberately frightening the other party; this was his genuine belief.
"Patriarch Song, what you said makes sense."
Angel nodded honestly, "I was too impulsive earlier. I apologize to you here."
"No need, Mr. Angel, you’re too polite. Although Carl’s death was caused by Chen Fan from the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, it indeed involves our Song Family. Mr. Angel, as Carl’s brother, your intense reaction is normal, and I understand."
Song Lianfeng immediately said.
"It’s good that Patriarch Song understands."
Angel forced a smile, "If things are as Patriarch Song predicted, I must return and inform the others. I wonder if Patriarch Song has time now, if so, you might as well join me?"
He admitted Song Lianfeng made valid points, but what if it was intentional to delay him?
"I’d be honored."
Song Lianfeng agreed immediately.
Even if the other party didn’t invite him, he wanted to visit the Revival Association.
