Inoue Sakura felt as if she were dreaming. She never imagined Ling Feng would call off the arranged marriage in such a manner. Although on the surface, she still wore a look of aggrieved fear, inside she was overjoyed.

Not only because she didn't have to marry Kurofuji Youshun, but more so because she felt that Ling Feng cared about her. Otherwise, why would he risk doing something like this?

When only Ling Feng and Inoue Sakura were left in the room, though Ling Feng still appeared as the Great Elder, the way Inoue Sakura looked at him still carried a profound and unmistakable affection.

Ling Feng, however, didn't notice this. He was deep in thought with his eyes closed. In fact, at this point, the developments had simply played into Ling Feng's hands. The alliance between the Kuroteng Family, Matsushita Family, Sakura Group, and the Alliance of Gods seemed very strong, but it was nothing more than a temporary and loose union.

The inherent disparity in their statuses and mutual backstabbing wouldn't disappear just because of a short-lived alliance.

Having been immersed in the Underworld for more than a decade, Ling Feng knew well that what was revered in the Underworld wasn't courtesy or humility, but power.

The power of the Alliance of Gods already far exceeded that of the Kuroteng Family. Would they sincerely follow the Kuroteng Family's command? If a conflict arose, would they possibly compromise with the Kuroteng Family?

The answer, of course, was no! This was also the reason why, after a murder took place at the banquet, the relationship between both parties quickly crumbled. Ultimately, the reason was the Kuroteng Family's weakness. Even if the facts proved that they were right, what did it matter?

At that moment, a voice came from outside the attic, and Ling Feng, with his eyes still closed, said calmly, "Come in!"

A man wearing a mask appeared before Ling Feng, "Reporting to the Great Elder, the Kuroteng Family's people have set off, and their target is indeed the Alliance of Gods. Just as the Great Elder predicted!"

The man before him was one of the Inoue Family's Iron Guards, and the Iron Guard was a potent organization under the control of the Great Elder. With Ling Feng impersonating the Great Elder, he naturally made full use of this force.

Poor Great Elder of the Inoue Family. He had put so much effort into building the Iron Guard, only for it to end up in Ling Feng's hands!

The feeling of picking ripe peaches was indeed wonderful! Ling Feng thought to himself with a sigh.

"How many people did the Kuroteng Family send?" Ling Feng continued to inquire.

"I do not know, because there were S-rank experts among them, our people did not dare to get too close!"

Ling Feng nodded, not having expected the Kuroteng Family to have such guts to truly stake everything on one throw.

At that moment, a message came from outside; the Kuroteng Family Clan Head had arrived. A hint of a smile appeared on Ling Feng's lips, "True to the Kuroteng Family's form, making such a swift decision; but it's a pity that... no matter what you choose, you are destined to be the losers!"

As for the Kuroteng Clan Head, Ling Feng had no intention of meeting with him; such trivial matters should be left to Inoue Ki and the others, especially since Inoue Ki was now the Acting Clan Leader. What Ling Feng was more concerned about now were those from the Kuroteng Family who were attempting to assassinate members of the Alliance of Gods.

"All Iron Guards, stand by at all times!" Ling Feng ordered, "At this time of turmoil, we must ensure the stability of the Inoue Family!"

"Yes, Elder!" After speaking, the Iron Guard left.

Ling Feng licked his lips, "An attack on the Alliance of Gods? How could I possibly let you complete such a good deed!"

Turning to Inoue Sakura, Ling Feng said, "I need to step out for a while. Stay here and do not go out, understand?"

Inoue Sakura looked at Ling Feng, "Are you going to the Alliance of Gods?"

Ling Feng paused and then said, "That's not for you to worry about, rest assured, I, Ling... I keep my word and will definitely help you secure the position of Clan Leader!"

As he spoke, Ling Feng's figure flickered, and he disappeared in front of Inoue Sakura.

A trace of desolation appeared on Inoue Sakura's face: "Brother Lin, do you not have even the slightest thought for me? But do you know, I have now fallen deeply in love with you!"

Ling Feng was of course aware of Inoue Sakura's feelings for him, but he was even more aware that her feelings were just a product of the stability he provided during her most helpless time!

Both publicly and privately, Ling Feng would not respond to these feelings!

"You will meet the boy you truly like one day," Ling Feng sighed in his heart.

Soon, Ling Feng arrived at the Alliance of Gods' guildhall, where at that moment the Kuroteng Family members had already surrounded the building so tightly that not even a mosquito could escape.

"Not bad, two S-rank experts and over ten A-rank experts. This must be a third of the Kuroteng Family's strength, right?" Ling Feng thought to himself as he hid in the darkness.

If all these people were eliminated, the Kuroteng Family would surely be severely wounded!

The Anbu of the Kuroteng Family had three top experts, Colonel Kuroto, Kurotou Kisou, and Kurotou Yousa. Even though Colonel Kuroto had been captured by the Dragon King, it didn't mean their strength was weak; it was just that Colonel Kuroto had terrible luck, running into one of the strongest people in the world.

"Our people are ready," Kurotou Kisou said to Kurotou Yousa: "Do we go in now?"

Kurotou Yousa took a deep breath and nodded: "Any more delay and we risk complications. Let's make it a quick battle and annihilate everyone from the Alliance of Gods!"

The strong members sent by the Alliance of Gods this time were not many, only one S-rank expert, and all the rest were A-rank experts. This was also the reason the Kuroteng Family was confident!

"Charge!" Following the command, the experts of the Kuroteng Family infiltrated the guildhall like specters.

Screams and sounds of battle soon came from within the guildhall, and the members of the Alliance of Gods quickly detected the attackers. In an instant, signs of battle filled the entire hall.

Although the Kuroteng Family outnumbered their opponents, the members of the Alliance of Gods were all elite, and the Kuroteng Family's experts could not quickly resolve them.

Kurotou Kisou and Kurotou Yousa exchanged glances, knowing that if the Matsushita Family or Inoue Family were to find out, others could interfere!

The two S-rank experts rushed into the guildhall, and with swift slashes, they instantly killed several A-rank members of the Alliance of Gods!

"The Kuroteng Family!" At this moment, the person in charge of the Alliance of Gods saw the scene and his eyes reddened: "I can't believe you of the Kuroteng Family would dare to be so bold. Aren't you afraid of the Alliance of Gods' retaliation?"

Kurotou Kisou said with a cold laugh: "Retaliation? The ones killing you are obviously members of the Dragon Group, what does that have to do with our Kuroteng Family?"

"What?" The person in charge of the Alliance of Gods was stunned: "Are you planning to kill us all and then frame the Dragon Group?"

Kurotou Yousa frowned: "Stop wasting words with him. I'll hold him off; you take care of the rest of the trash!"
