Acting Clan Leader Inoue Ki had disappeared, and Inoue You had become like a turtle shrinking into its shell! The people of the Inoue Family were almost in despair, unable to find the murderer of the former clan leader, and thus unable to trace their way to the Family Head's Token. If they couldn't find the Family Head's Token, how could the Sun God possibly spare the Inoue Family?
In fact, over the past three days, the Inoue Family had not given up on seeking allies for help, but their influence in the Underworld was simply too weak. When they heard that the Inoue Family had offended one of the Twelve Main Gods of the Alliance of Gods, the Sun God, they shamelessly went into hiding!
This was also one of the reasons why Inoue Ki ultimately had no choice but to flee. If he didn't run away, was he really supposed to just wait and be sent to his death?
"Goodbye, my dear motherland!" On his private plane, Inoue Ki lounged comfortably in his seat, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, already fantasizing about the blissful life that awaited him overseas!
Although he would be out of the circle of power from now on, being a tranquil wealthy man wasn't so bad! After all, he had over a billion US dollars in his hands, enough to live lavishly for a lifetime!
"Inoue Family, I leave it to you, Inoue You! I hope that beneath the ninth spring, you will smoothly take over as the Clan Leader of the Inoue Family, hahaha..."
Just as Inoue Ki was feeling smug, he suddenly felt the plane jolt and shake violently, then started uncontrollably dancing in the air.
"What's going on!" Inoue Ki shouted angrily.
"It's bad, Mr. Inoue Ki! The plane has just been attacked!" a crew member said in a panic.
Inoue Ki bellowed, "Impossible, we haven't even left Tokyo yet, how could we be under attack..."
At that moment, Inoue Ki froze, looking through the window, he saw the Sun God floating outside the plane, looking at him with an indifferent gaze.
Inoue Ki felt a chill throughout his body. Was that attack just now launched by the Sun God?
But he was doomed not to find the answer. Before he could react, there was a loud bang, and the plane exploded into a fireball and fell from the sky.
"Thinking you could escape without finding the Family Head's Token for me? Wishful thinking!" The Sun God sneered, "Now it's time to pay a visit to the Inoue Family! If they can't hand it over, then there really is no need for the Inoue Family to exist!"
At this moment, the Inoue Family was enveloped in the despair of darkness, with the Acting Clan Leader having fled, which became the final straw that broke the will of the Inoue Family members.
In the meeting room, Elder Ling Feng, disguised as the Great Elder, gathered the remaining high-ranking members and said indifferently, "Inoue Ki has already fled, but the Inoue Family must not fall! Therefore, I have decided to formally appoint Inoue Sakura as the Clan Leader of the Inoue Family. Does anyone have objections?"
Many of the higher-ups secretly curled their lips. At this point, even if a dog were to become the Clan Leader of the Inoue Family, they would have no objections. Their most pressing concern was how to solve the looming problems.
"Since no one is opposed, starting today, Inoue Sakura is the Clan Leader of the Inoue Family!" Ling Feng said indifferently and then turned to Inoue Sakura, "Girl, now you can sit in the place of the Clan Leader. From now on, the entire Inoue Family will follow your commands!"
Inoue Sakura looked at Ling Feng's eyes, her heart pounding with excitement. She hadn't truly longed for the position of Clan Leader, but unexpectedly, in less than two weeks, she really had become the Clan Leader of the Inoue Family.
"Now that Inoue Sakura has become the Clan Leader, shouldn't she come up with some sort of strategy?" Inoue You said indifferently, "The Sun God might arrive at any moment now..."
With a smack, Ling Feng struck down from the air with a palm, directly knocking Inoue You to the ground. Inoue You cried out, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood that contained several teeth.
The crowd exchanged looks, unsure why the Great Elder had suddenly lashed out at Inoue You.
"Hmph, are you entitled to address Inoue Sakura by her full name?" Ling Feng said coolly, "I have said before, from now on, she is the Clan Leader! If you can't show the basic respect due to a Clan Leader, then the Elders Council will expel you from the Inoue Family for the crime of rebellion!"
Due to Inoue Ki's escape, those who had originally supported him now turned to support Inoue Sakura, along with a large number of neutral members. Inoue Sakura's appointment as Clan Leader had already become the preferred choice. However, in Inoue You's heart, he never saw Inoue Sakura as a real opponent, which explained the hint of contempt in his words.
"I'm... I'm sorry!" Inoue You, looking at the stern-faced Great Elder and the indifferent Inoue Sakura, felt a chill in his heart, and then said in a low voice, biting his teeth.
Ling Feng didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, he said, "The current situation is very critical. To get through this difficulty, our family must be united. So, I hope no one harbors a double heart at this time, or else, I will not be merciful!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than everyone felt a tremendous pressure envelop them, and at the same time, a tall figure appeared before them.
"The time has come, where is the Sealing Stone I need?" the Sun God spoke indifferently to the people of the Inoue Family, "Oh right, there was someone who tried to escape earlier. I conveniently extinguished him on the way here. I hope you do not follow in his footsteps!"
Their faces turned very unsightly. The Family Head's Token was still missing; did they really have to fight the Sun God to the death?
At that moment, Ling Feng stepped forward, "Sun God, I'm terribly sorry, but the Family Head's Token is not in our hands right now..."
"Hmm?" The Sun God frowned, and a powerful aura instantly filled the room. Everyone, except for Ling Feng, was prostrated on the ground as if submitting to a deity.
"Such immense pressure!" Ling Feng thought to himself, "Sure enough, the Main Gods of the Alliance of Gods have always been conserving their strength. If they release their full power, they might not be weaker than me at all!"
The Sun God said indifferently, "I detest being trifled with. Since you are unable to produce the Sealing Stone, don't blame me for being rude..."
Ling Feng smiled slightly, interrupting the Sun God's words, "Sun God, while we cannot present the Family Head's Token right now, I do know how to find it! And it is the only way to find the Family Head's Token!"
The Sun God was taken aback, then said meaningfully, "If you have a way to find the Family Head's Token but can't present it now, you mean to say that it's in the hands of someone you cannot afford to offend? Are you trying to use me?"
The Great Elder smiled faintly, "The Sun God jests. Our Inoue Family is but a small fry; how could we dare to use someone like the Sun God? But the fact is as such, and indeed we have no way around it!"
The Sun God looked deeply at the Great Elder, then suddenly laughed, "Interesting. Then tell me the method. I'm quite keen to see how you plan to find the Family Head's Token!"
