Conquest of Taboo and Debauchery

Chapter 96: 96 : The Envoy of the Martial Alliance

"So, that's how it is." Ye Fei nodded, then asked, "But what exactly does the Martial Alliance do, and what are the Guardian Families?"

Liu Yiru explained, "Although it's called an 'alliance,' the Martial Alliance is really a loose organization. Its main purpose is to oversee martial artists like us, ensuring that we don't harm ordinary people or use martial arts to commit crimes.

As for the Guardian Families, when the leader was chosen, it was agreed that he couldn't manage everything alone, so the two most prestigious and powerful families were appointed to assist him. Over time, these became the Guardian Families."

"So, the Martial Alliance was a righteous group at first. Why do you and Aunt say they have bad intentions now?" Ye Fei asked, still unclear about the situation.

Liu Yiru sighed. "It was righteous in the beginning. The leader was actively involved, and the martial arts world flourished under his guidance. But over time, the leader became less involved, and eventually, the two Guardian Families took over. In the last twenty years, the leader hasn't appeared at all."

"One of the Guardian Families fell into decline, leaving only the Wu family, and they've grown arrogant. They've essentially turned the Martial Alliance into their private power, often forcing martial families to do their bidding. While many are dissatisfied, the Wu family's strength is overwhelming, and no one dares to oppose them."

"Sounds like the Alliance has outlived its purpose," Ye Fei remarked coolly. He had already made up his mind—if the Wu family's intentions were hostile, he wouldn't hesitate to crush them. He was also eager to see just how powerful the martial arts of the feared Wu family really were.

As mother and son talked, they arrived at their destination, a five-star hotel owned by the Liu family. Although they didn't think highly of the Wu family, the Liu family still had to maintain a level of decorum since the envoy represented the Martial Alliance.

When they arrived, Liu Fengyi was already waiting for them. The meeting was set to take place in a private room on the hotel's first floor, but the Wu family's representative had yet to show up—an obvious display of arrogance.

Since the Wu family envoy was late, Liu Yiru and Liu Fengyi used the time to chat. It was rare for the sisters to spend time together, so they didn't mind the delay.

Ye Fei, too, was in no rush. His primary reason for being there was to spend time with his mother. Sitting back, he admired the similarities between his mother and aunt, both in their beautiful faces and their equally stunning figures. His thoughts drifted to more inappropriate places, but he kept them in check, knowing today wasn't the time for such distractions.

They waited from nine in the morning until nearly noon before a knock finally came at the door. They knew it must be someone from the Wu family. Despite enjoying their time together, both Liu Yiru and Liu Fengyi were slightly irritated by the long wait.

"Come in, the door's unlocked," Liu Fengyi called out coldly.

The door swung open, and a young man in his twenties entered. He was handsome, but there was something sinister about him, and his arrogant demeanor was immediately noticeable.

The man froze when he saw the Liu sisters. Although he had heard that the leaders of the Liu family were extraordinary beauties, he was stunned to see them in person. The women he had encountered before paled in comparison. His eyes flashed with greed and lust as he ogled them.

Though his lustful glance was brief, Ye Fei caught it. In that moment, he sentenced the man to death in his heart. His mother and aunt were his—no one else had the right to look at them that way.

The man, emboldened by his arrogance, sat in the main seat without invitation. "I'm Wu Shiying, the eldest grandson of the Wu family. You must be Liu Fengyi and Liu Yiru," he said, attempting to project dominance. Women had always flocked to him for his power, and he assumed these two would be no different.

What Wu Shiying didn't understand was that strong women admired strength in character, not displays of power. His attitude only repelled the sisters further. Still, they were too well-mannered to show their disgust openly. Liu Fengyi gave a polite smile. "Yes, that's us. This is my nephew, Ye Fei." She introduced her nephew calmly, though she was growing irritated.

Looking at Ye Fei with disdain, Wu Shiying smirked and said, "Oh, so this is the infamous idiot of the Ye family. I've heard of him."

Liu Yiru's face turned red with anger at hearing her son insulted. Despite her composed nature, she couldn't hold back. "Mr. Wu, stop wasting time with nonsense. Just say what you came to say."

Realizing he had offended one of the women who had so captivated him, Wu Shiying felt slightly embarrassed. However, his pride wouldn't allow him to admit his mistake. He grinned and replied, "Fine, let's get to the point. I'm here to offer the Wu family's assistance."

"We don't need help from the Wu family," Liu Yiru snapped, her anger still fresh after his insult to her son.

A flicker of anger crossed Wu Shiying's face, but he quickly masked it. "I'm talking about the Autumn Group. Don't you see them as a serious threat?"
