The B-level Warrior heard the sternness in Stone’s words and frowned, ready to reply when a Gold Attribute A-level leaned out of the car.

He spoke expressionlessly, ”Where’s the water monkey?”

”I killed him,” another voice lazily responded, ”Is this your explanation?”

Upon hearing this, the Gold Attribute A-level’s expression changed to seriousness as he replied, ”Of course not, we’re just concerned about the whereabouts of our member.”

”Then what’s the meaning of you honking at my door?” Qu Jianlei’s body flashed and he stood on the courtyard wall.

He spoke expressionlessly, ”So, Lubricant, do you believe I can make sure your whole family can’t hear tomorrow’s sounds?”

”The driver made a mistake,” said the A-level known as Lubricant, frowning as he drew out a Laser Pistol.

Then he raised his hand and shot the driver.

The driver, a Modified Warrior, was caught off guard and instantly had a large transparent hole in his head, slipping down lifelessly.

Lubricant’s action was abrupt, but in truth, this driver was merely an outsider who owed the Brotherhood a high-interest debt.

The Iron Blood Brotherhood’s main business is monopolizing the food market, but dabbling in side ventures isn’t out of line.

With such a large number of people, it’s better than idling, right? As long as they don’t loan sharks at the casino, no one will care.

This driver was just unlucky. His task upon arrival was to subtly provoke the other side.

This task carried some risk, but the Brotherhood promised that a single trip would cut his debt in half.

Indeed, a warrior dies for money and a bird dies for food, even a Modified Warrior was willing to take this gamble.

Unfortunately, he lost the gamble and was mercilessly shot to death.

Lubricant’s move had many implications, mainly that their rules were strict and they dared to kill publicly without hesitation.

However, his attempt at intimidation failed, instead arousing Qu Jianlei’s displeasure.

Qu Jianlei frowned, sneering, ”Killing people at my door... Who are you trying to show off to? Looks like I’m still too lenient!”

Lubricant sensed the other party’s ruthlessness and immediately denied, ”I didn’t mean that!”

”This person acted on his own, deserved to die!”

This unlucky guy — who knows where you found him from, Qu Jianlei knew very clearly and coldly asked.

”If I hadn’t reacted, would you have stopped him from honking? I advise you to think it over before answering!”

If the other side dared to argue irrationally, he would definitely take action directly.

Back on Blue Star, Qu Jianlei never hesitated to resort to fists instead of words, and the Imperial ethos was much the same.

Lubricant could also sense the murderous intent behind those words.

In fact, the previous situation was deliberately set up by him to test the other’s temperament.

The cost of testing was a life, but it didn’t matter since it wasn’t a Brotherhood member.

Upon hearing the words, he chuckled dryly and didn’t answer the other party’s question, ”You must be Mr. Ran, right? I came to resolve the misunderstanding.”

Qu Jianlei coldly looked at him, ”Answer the previous question first, unless you want to die... Who gave you the guts to cause trouble at my door?”

”I... alright, it was my oversight,” Lubricant dared not argue anymore, realizing the other party was quick-tempered.

Society always gives off a tough and aggressive image, but the truth is... it’s not really like that.

The world is not about fighting and killing but about human relations... If people from Blue Star can realize this, Imperial people won’t be any worse.

He solemnly stated, ”I apologize for the earlier oversight, please forgive me.”

He still didn’t admit it was intentional, though he was nearly conceding defeat.

Stone snorted coldly upon hearing this, ”How much is an apology worth? Do you really think you’re stronger than the Farmer and Heart Erosion?”

Upon hearing this, Lubricant’s face changed again, ”Stone, I warn you: know who you’re talking to before interrupting.”

He might concede in front of Ran Bingluan, but it doesn’t mean any random straggler can blabber nonsense.

”We didn’t deal with you because we think we’re all locals and there is some kinship, don’t be ungrateful.”

”Sigh,” Stone sighed leisurely, ”Boss, I’m trying to save you, if you think it’s an offense, I have nothing more to say.”

Lubricant was taken aback, then laughed heartily, ”Stone, I’m joking with you, we’re all from the same place, right?”

Qu Jianlei witnessed this and couldn’t help but frown: to bend and stretch... how tiresome!

Stone merely gave a wry smile, ”Sir, don’t joke, someone like me is too insignificant for you to notice.”

Are you damn well going to open the door or not? Lubricant was about to explode again but eventually held back.

”Stone, tell your boss to open the door, we need to talk.”

Stone spoke expressionlessly, ”You can order me around, but is this how you talk to the higher-ups too?”

Upon hearing this, Lubricant was suddenly taken aback, ”Higher-ups?”

Based on what he learned, Ran Bingluan’s strength was formidable, but he shouldn’t be Supreme, right?

Stone made up his mind that in this situation, there was no option to avoid it, he had to choose a side.

Once you’ve chosen, don’t be half-hearted, pick a path and stick to it to the end.

”The Farmer and Heart Erosion were taken out by the boss alone, do you think swapping for another Supreme can definitely achieve that?”

”Also, this is still a friendly reminder, boss is not alone... believe it or not.”

Lubricant paused for a moment, forcing out a smile, ”Stone, I hadn’t considered that thoroughly, thanks for the reminder.”

His change of expression was as fast as flipping a book, this is a real socialite, those who only know violence have long died in the gutters.

Stone wasn’t surprised, in the eyes of others, he was still a high and mighty B-level Warrior.

But when facing an even stronger character, what’s really going on can only be understood by those who experience it firsthand.

After a few seconds of silence, his voice came out again, ”You can come in, just get off the car and walk in, don’t play any tricks.”

”What kind of tricks could I play?” Lubricant sighed, ”The Water Monkey is already dead.”

In the end, he was still emphasizing his innocence.

Hearing this, Stone helplessly rolled his eyes, finally unable to resist saying, ”With that attitude, you might end up unlucky.”

He truly didn’t want to say any more, if not for considering those twenty-something kids, he wouldn’t bother at all.

Lubricant had a Gold Attribute, and accompanying him was an Earth Attribute A-level who had been pursing his lips with a stern face from start to finish.

Why didn’t he speak? Because there was no need, the same Earth Attribute, he was very aware that even two of himself wouldn’t be able to beat the Farmer.

Through earlier probing, Lubricant also understood the other party’s methods.

After entering the courtyard, he straightforwardly stated that previous incidents were all misunderstandings.

The Iron Blood Brotherhood did investigate Ran Bingluan’s situation, but it was merely taking on an outside commission.

Everyone knows what the main business of the Iron Blood Brotherhood is.

However, such a large setup needs some other business support to align with the organization’s interests.

Relying too heavily on a single pillar industry, if any issue arises, it’d be very hard to turn things around.

Lubricant’s point is that the situation should not have escalated to this level, nor should hatred continue.

The Brotherhood had been somewhat offensive earlier, but that was under the premise of ignorance, and their member Water Monkey also died.

Now, everyone can sit down and discuss how to clean up the aftermath.

Stone was somewhat surprised while listening on the side – the notoriously troublesome Iron Blood Brotherhood admitted defeat so quickly?

In fact, he still hadn’t realized how big a blow the deaths of the Farmer and Heart Erosion brought to the Brotherhood.

If it were just one of them, it would be fine, but they knew well that the two were together.

Wanting to kill both at the same time, not letting one escape... they felt even if they had five A-levels together, they might not be able to do it.

For the past few days, the Brotherhood hadn’t paid a visit, not because they wanted to buy time, but because they were meticulously investigating Ran Bingluan’s background.

Firstly, there’s an issue with this person’s identity, such shady dealings can’t be hidden from the organization.

Then they found out about the Luo family on Celestial Sharp Star— most likely, this identity was arranged with the Luo family’s help.

The Luo family has indeed declined, but a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, gathering a few A-levels is still possible.

And the Luo family’s deep roots in the Celestial Hook Star Realm are something a nascent group like the Brotherhood couldn’t possibly catch up with.

Also, as Ford’s manager said to Qu Jianlei, the Luo family stepping forward to invite a few Supremes for assistance wasn’t a big deal.

Just the Luo family alone had already stretched the Brotherhood thin; adding Ran Bingluan to the mix was even worse.

They even found out the reason for the Farmer’s enmity with this person and discovered he was once Luo Hanshuang’s guard.

Luo Hanshuang had entered the Inner Circle, which was deliberately concealed by Xingluo Academy, but the Brotherhood’s reach was deep, and they still managed to uncover it.

Analyzing all the gathered information, Ran Bingluan was decidedly not someone to provoke.

The key is that it’s not worth it; the Iron Blood Brotherhood has a clear main business and the other party shows no intent of interfering, so why fight to death?

Moreover, after killing, the person didn’t even hide, not even changing their address, this is beyond carelessness.

Recently, the Brotherhood was also searching for the Water Monkey.

They wanted to learn more about the opponent’s strength through him.

After several days of searching, they could basically confirm: this guy likely... suffered collateral damage.

Now the opponent admitted to killing the Water Monkey without hesitation, not considering our reaction at all.

Lubricant felt aggrieved but being tasked with this negotiation wasn’t by mere chance.

Called Lubricant not only for his sharp Gold Attribute Techniques, killing as if oiled down, but also for his versatility in handling situations.

Thus, he planned to discuss how both sides could compromise and put the matter behind them.

For the Iron Blood Brotherhood, handling it this way was quite humiliating, but did he have any other choice?

However, Qu Jianlei wasn’t intending to end things so simply; he hadn’t forgotten the initial attitude when the others first arrived.

He coldly stated, ”I want you to give me an explanation; just turning the page... it’s not that easy.”
