"Kill without mercy, rather than let go..."
Zheng Jianguo's face was grim. He knew what that meant.
If the time ran out and the culprit wasn't found, Lin Xiao would personally send his three sons to their deaths.
Even though he had lived a righteous life and detested evil, hearing these words made his eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
Such actions were against the rules, but... the current Lin Xiao, even if he did something against the rules, there was nothing Zheng Jianguo could do about it.
He was a possessor of true dragon energy, someone valued by the Dragon Lord.
He even believed that if the Dragon Lord were to know about the situation here, he would absolutely not interfere with Lin Xiao's actions.
"Which beast could it be!"
Zheng Jianguo's anger flared. He slammed his palm onto the table. The blow didn't shatter the table but instead left a palm print on its surface.
He was, naturally, unwilling to see all his sons die at Lin Xiao's hands.
"Elder Zheng, let's not rush. Let's give the three of them time," Lin Xiao said. As he spoke, he used his hand to send a freshly brewed cup of tea, which landed steadily in front of Zheng Jianguo. "Drink tea."
Seeing the cup of tea, Zheng Jianguo's eyelids twitched. The worst-case scenario flashed through his mind repeatedly.
"Don't worry, I believe the three of them are deeply bonded as brothers and will quickly find the true source of this voice," Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes.
So close...
One hour was enough for the three of them to make their choice.
If they didn't choose, they would all be buried together.
Killing intent slowly emanated from Lin Xiao, instantly engulfing the entire room within his domain.
Within the domain, the three felt the pressure increase sharply, their bodies instantly covered in cold sweat.
If Lin Xiao wished, he could kill all three of them on the spot, right in front of their father.
"Remember, you only have one last hour. This is my final act of mercy."
After saying this, Lin Xiao began to rest with his eyes closed, leaving all matters to the three of them.
Zheng Jianguo also seemed to have conceded, slumping down by the table.
He could also feel this killing intent. Although it wasn't as refined as the killing intent he had accumulated over the years, it was more bloody and more ferocious than others.
It seemed that if Lin Xiao relaxed his control even slightly, the killing intent alone was enough to annihilate everyone in the room.
He had no choice.
Even if the Dragon Lord and Old Zhou were here, this brat wouldn't hold back, would he?
After all, this involved the lives of the Lin family, and he wouldn't let it go.
Now, only one step remained.
Zheng Aiguo stared at Zheng Aijia and suddenly asked, "Third brother, what do you mean? Why are you reacting so strongly? Are you actually trying to get me to take the blame for you?"
"Eldest brother! What are you saying?" Zheng Aijia's expression changed. He immediately said, "I'm just stating facts. This voice is indeed the most similar to yours, so naturally, you are the most suspicious! Eldest brother, just admit it, otherwise, the Zheng family will be in chaos."
"Admit what? If you want to frame someone, why worry about the lack of a reason? For such a baseless charge, I should take the blame?"
Zheng Aiguo laughed in anger. He looked at his third brother. "It seems you are inseparable from this matter."
"Let me correct you, the charge is not baseless."
