Chapter 110: Gathering at the Temple of War

Seeing Ku Duo's smile, Yun'e felt a sudden sense of relief, for some reason.
This strange feeling was like having been given a second chance at life.
Yun'e didn't know why she felt this way, but she didn't delve into it. Instead, she continued in a negotiating tone, "Can you hand him over to me? I'm Yun'e from the Yun family. Fang Chang knows me, and I'll personally apologize."
"Thank you, Senior Sister! Thank you, Senior Sister!!!"
Hearing Yun'e's words, Duan Xiao burst into tears.
He knew his life was saved.
He then walked towards Yun'e, and as he passed Ku Duo, he spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Go back and tell Fang Chang that sooner or later I will… Ah?! What are you doing?!"
Before Duan Xiao could finish speaking, Ku Duo suddenly grabbed him and pulled him into a tight embrace.
"Sir!"
Yun'e was alarmed and quickly tried to stop Ku Duo.
Kudo chuckled, "She complimented my watch, so she's a good person, and I won't kill her. But you didn't compliment it, so you're a bad person, you deserve to die!"
Feeling the pain in his bones, Duan Xiao was terrified. Struggling, he shouted, "Your watch is beautiful! It's the most beautiful watch I've ever seen! Let me go! Let me go!"
Hearing this, Kudo stared intently at Duan Xiao in his arms. After a moment, he spoke seriously, "Really? I don't believe it!"
"Really! I'm telling the truth! Let me go! Let me go, please… uh…"
Crack crack crack crack…
Kudo tightened his grip, and a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds echoed from Duan Xiao's body.
Duan Xiao's eyes widened, bulging completely. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his mouth opened wide, as if trying to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Kudo's arms were like iron, holding Duan Xiao firmly in place. With each tightening of his grip, blood seeped from Duan Xiao's seven orifices.
"No!"
*Crack!*
Yun'e cried out in alarm, trying to stop him, but Ku Duo's muscles bulged, and with a crack, Duan Xiao died in excruciating pain.
His eyes were wide open, his tongue lolling out, a look of unfinished death on his face. Blood gushed from his seven orifices, all his bones shattered! His internal organs were crushed!
Even the most miraculous medicine couldn't save him now!
Yun'e was stunned by the scene before her.
The bodyguards rushed forward, shielding Yun'e behind them, watching Ku Duo with tense expressions.
To crush a person alive? They had never seen such a horrific sight in their lives.
Just who were Fang Chang's bodyguards?
Could one person's strength be so exaggerated?!
After dealing with Duan Xiao, Ku Duo ignored the Yun family members and turned to walk into the villa. He had already dug a large pit in the backyard.
The reason Duan Xiao hadn't seen Ku Duo when he brought his men earlier was because he was digging in the backyard.
Fang Chang had warned that bad guys would come, and he was tasked with protecting the twins and handling the situation efficiently.
Ku Duo had been prepared. He carried a mutilated corpse in one hand as he walked towards the backyard, completely ignoring the Yun family members.
One of the Yun family bodyguards cautiously inquired, "Miss...we...we'll stay here, and...we'll stay with him..."
Hearing the bodyguard's trembling voice, Yun'e closed her eyes.
After a moment, she calmed down.
Looking at Duan Xiao's lifeless body, a trace of sorrow appeared on her beautiful face. Finally, she sighed softly, "Let's go. There's nothing for us here anymore. Oh, and leave a few people behind to help them tidy up this courtyard."
"Huh?"
The bodyguards' hearts skipped a beat.
Leave a few people behind?
Who will stay?
They exchanged glances, all seeing the reluctance in each other's eyes.
Good heavens, stay behind and help that humanoid monster tidy up the courtyard? What if that monster gets agitated and kills them all?
But the order had been given, and the few reluctantly walked into the courtyard.
Seeing Ku Duo emerge, they exclaimed, "Brother! Your watch is amazing! Where did you buy it? We want one too!"
"Really! This watch looks worth a hundred million! No, no, it's priceless! It's so beautiful!"
"A fine sword for a hero, a fine watch for...for...for a hero! It's perfect!"
Hearing the praise, Ku Duo scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his dark face: "You guys have good taste."
"We'll help you with the work!"
"Thanks, but you're not allowed near the gate, or I'll kill you!"
"Don't worry! We promise we won't come near!"
Seeing the men already helping Ku Duo with the work, Yun'e took one last look at Duan Xiao's corpse, then turned and left.
This was all Duan Xiao's own doing; death is death.
Today was a gathering of the War God Temple. Unlike Duan Xiao, Yun'e, though she hadn't inherited the War God Temple, still held a position within it.
Several elders from the Temple of War Gods arrived in Suzhou, seemingly regarding the candidate for the God of War position.
As an ally of Fang Fan, Yun'e naturally had to attend the meeting; she absolutely couldn't allow that candidate to take the position.
...
A private restaurant in Suzhou.
Inside a private room.
Fang Fan had already brought Fang Chang there.
The two sat down, and Fang Fan said seriously, "Fang Chang, starting today, I'm making you the Vice Temple Master of the Temple of War Gods. They'll definitely object later, but don't worry about that; just listen to me."
On the way here, Fang Fan had already told Fang Chang about the Temple of War Gods.
It was pretty much what Fang Chang had expected.
The foreign mercenary organizations, the Temple of War Gods and the Dragon King's Palace, were all forces friendly with their country and received preferential treatment domestically.
If he became the Vice Temple Master of the Temple of War Gods, the entire Temple of War Gods would be at his disposal.
Fang Chang didn't seem particularly interested in being the deputy hall master; it was the candidate who piqued his interest.
To be a competitor of Fang Fan, especially for the position of War God, one had to be either a villain or a chosen one; otherwise, they wouldn't even have the right to compete.
Why are there so many people with destiny in Su City?
What exactly is this place?
Just as he was pondering this, the door opened, and several men in suits slowly walked in.
They sat down in chairs, with several bodyguards standing behind them. It was a very grand affair, and all those seated were quite old.
The youngest looked to be in their forties or fifties, clearly elders of the so-called Temple of War.
"Sorry I'm late!"
Just then, Yun'e entered. She first nodded to Fang Chang and Fang Fan, then looked at the group before her.
"Elders, it's been a long time."
