Chapter 877: Chapter 852: Treachery in the Hall
A few people smoothly walked inside, the Red Robed Sect Leader stood within the Temple of the Gods, surrounded by magnificent riches, incredibly exquisite. Intricately carved reliefs, beautiful galleries, everything appeared exceptionally captivating. However, Kong Haoran and Yun Qi had no mood to admire the scenery here, they walked inside hastily. Inside the main hall, two rows of black-clothed guards stood upright.
The Red Robed Sect Leader wore a red veil on her face, but from her full forehead and those beautiful eyes, his eyes couldn’t help but look surprised. Such a beautiful woman, so breathtaking. Her beauty is dizzying and gives one the feeling that the world around is filled with illusions.
"Are you the new clan leader of the Doomsday Family?" The Red Robe frowned, feeling very dissatisfied, because Kong Haoran’s gaze disgusted her, making her feel extremely obnoxious. But, because the other party is a guest, she could only grit her teeth and endure.
"Correct, correct!" Kong Haoran nodded hurriedly, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, saying: "I am the new clan leader of the Doomsday Family!"
"Then... why have you come this time!" The red-clothed woman frowned.
"I... I want to file a lawsuit with the Church Court!" Kong Haoran was stunned, immediately roaring: "I want to sue the Chaikefu family for violating their agreement, they actually teamed up with the Rothschild family to target the Doomsday Family. In Moscow, I was pursued by members of the Chaikefu family!"
"Oh?" The red-clothed woman was stunned, then laughed: "Then... why does the Chaikefu family want to kill you?"
"Because... because Ye Chen wants to kill me!" Kong Haoran gritted his teeth and said: "Ye Chen has always borne a grudge against me, wishing to put me to death."
"But, why does he want to kill you then?" The red-clothed woman showed a calm smile.
"Because I kidnapped his woman and almost got her!" Saying this, Kong Haoran revealed a smug smile, then said: "If it weren’t for a few guys ruining my plan, I would have already gotten Li Ruo!"
Kong Haoran was proud of his plan because he thought it was his own cleverness.
"So that’s how it is?" The red-clothed woman was stunned, then showed a calm smile, asking: "Then tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
"I hope the Church Court can intervene and punish the Chaikefu family. And also unite European countries and Asian countries to economically blockade and militarily strike the Rothschild family!" Kong Haoran immediately said.
"Hmm!" The red-clothed woman nodded, then showed a smile, curiously asked: "Do you know what the current situation means for the Doomsday Family to us?"
"Well..." Kong Haoran immediately was dumbfounded. Not to mention the role of the Doomsday Family to the Church Court, now Kong Haoran couldn’t even control the family, so he had to reconsider these issues.
"That’s right, the Doomsday Family’s power has declined drastically, it really doesn’t mean much to us!" The red-clothed woman chuckled.
"No, the Doomsday Family can definitely rise again!" Kong Haoran immediately shook his head.
"Heh, even if the Doomsday Family can rise again, may I ask how much control you have over it?" The red-clothed woman waved at a woman nearby. Quickly, the woman took out a document from inside and handed it to the red-clothed woman, who glanced at it briefly, then smiled: "Based on current intelligence, the Chaikefu family has begun to swallow the Doomsday Family’s sphere of influence and industries, the Rothschild family occupies the entire Ottawa, as well as the eastern and southern parts of Canada. The Chaikefu family also swallowed all the Doomsday Family’s industries and territories in Asia, tell me, what ability do you have to rise again?"
"Ah?!" Kong Haoran was dumbfounded, he was stunned: "How could... how could it be so fast?!"
"Hehe, that’s right!" The red-clothed woman nodded, then said: "The Doomsday Family has completely fallen, even if you have any power left, you can only operate in the frigid north and west of Canada. Unfortunately, the industries that support your economic guarantee are gone. So... you’re basically useless!"
"No, no, impossible!" Kong Haoran gritted his teeth and said: "We still have an army, we still have a large army loyal to the Doomsday Family!"
"Yes, you have an army, but without enough money and food to support them, what use is this army?" The red-clothed woman said with a calm smile: "Shouting slogans can’t be eaten, right?"
Kong Haoran’s face turned pale, the Red Robed Sect Leader was right. Without food and money, the army’s morale would disperse and soon vanish into nothingness. Kong Haoran took a deep breath and then pleaded: "Sect Leader, are you really going to watch your followers disappear like this? Are you going to stand by and do nothing? Or have you forgotten the old agreement?"
"Your disappearance has nothing to do with the Church Court. As for standing by and doing nothing, I would use Mr. Darwin’s words to explain it: it’s survival of the fittest!" The red-clothed woman smiled faintly: "As for the so-called agreement, it was just an agreement with the Squad Leader. Who are you? What right do you have to prove you’re the Clan Leader of the Doomsday Family? What right do you have to prove the Doomsday Family’s power is in your hands!"
"Look, they can prove it!" Kong Haoran immediately said, then turned to the men behind him and said: "Quick, tell the Sect Leader!"
Among the men, one was the Squad Leader’s assistant, another was a close confidant of Kong Haoran, and the third was the highest leader of the army. They had their smart ways to mix among them. The assistant was good at reading people’s expressions and quickly noticed the Sect Leader’s displeasure towards Kong Haoran. Thus, he had a new idea but hesitated to voice it alone. The situation needed someone to take the lead.
"No, Sect Leader, he is not the Clan Leader of the Doomsday Family, he is the real murderer of the Squad Leader!" At the critical moment, one of the leaders defected, shocking Kong Haoran. He stared at the leader in disbelief and cursed, "Damn you, bastard, how dare you slander me like this?"
"That’s right, I can prove it too!" another leader defected.
"Yes, yes, I can prove it too. I’m the Squad Leader’s assistant, I have the right to speak, Kong Haoran is the real murderer of the Squad Leader!" The assistant timely inserted a footnote, while the remaining confidant of Kong Haoran stood dumbfounded, realizing that one can never truly know people. These folks had always been by his side, promising loyalty, yet at this moment, they defected!
"You scoundrels, talking nonsense!" Kong Haoran trembled with rage, he charged at the assistant, beating him until his head was bloodied, while the Church Court’s black-clothed guards and the people standing aside coldly watched, witnessing Kong Haoran’s cruel, bloody side, as well as his madness.
Yun Qi was frightened by this side of Kong Haoran, watching him bite into the assistant’s neck, blood gushing out. He bit the assistant’s neck tightly, swallowing a large piece of flesh while cursing incoherently: "F*ck you, I’ll make you talk nonsense, talk nonsense!"
"Stop!" The Red Robed Sect Leader immediately stood out, coldly saying, "You all said Kong Haoran killed the Squad Leader, do you have evidence?"
"We... we have no evidence, but I personally saw him poison the Squad Leader’s tea!" The assistant curled up in a corner, clutching his bleeding neck, his carotid artery bitten through by Kong Haoran, couldn’t stop the blood from flowing.
"Words alone are no proof!" The Red Robed Sect Leader laughed coldly and said, "Someone, throw this group of people out for me!"
"Yes!" More than a dozen armed guards immediately stepped out, holding rifles, all aiming at Kong Haoran and his people. Kong Haoran’s group was thus forced out. The red-clothed woman slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, muttering to herself: "Ye Chen, this is as much as I can help you!"
Unbeknownst to her, she had already done Ye Chen a great favor. So far, the Church Court’s Old Madam was unaware of the outside developments, she was currently in seclusion intending to break through the final barrier. If successful, no one in the world could match her. As such, the Church Court heightened their vigilance, with the Old Madam entrusting all Church Court affairs to the Red Robed Sect Leader before her seclusion.
Morris was driven out of the Church Court, and Brofei came and went every day, not bothering with anything. Therefore, most matters fell to the Red Robed Sect Leader. She ordered easing of outside interference to focus on protecting the Temple of the Gods. This gave Ye Chen ample opportunity to develop.
Kong Haoran and others were driven out of the Temple of the Gods, six of them standing outside the great hall. Kong Haoran looked up at the high Temple of the Gods, filled with a sense of desolation. Entering with full confidence, only to exit so miserably.
"You bastards, I’ll remember you!" Kong Haoran gritted his teeth, staring at them coldly: "I’ll come for you sooner or later!"
With that, Kong Haoran turned and dragged Yun Qi away.
"Let go of me!" Yun Qi shook off Kong Haoran’s hand, then glared angrily at him, saying: "I’ve had enough of you, Kong Haoran, I never thought you’d be such a person, that you’d kill the Squad Leader!"
"You..." Kong Haoran gaped at Yun Qi. That despicable woman, so deceitful and shameless—if she hadn’t incited him back then, he wouldn’t have harmed the Squad Leader. The saying that women are trouble is not wrong at all.
"What do you mean, are you not going to admit what you did?" Yun Qi cried with tears rolling down: "I get it now, you killed the Squad Leader to get me. I’ve seen right through you, Kong Haoran, you’re a despicable scoundrel!"
