Chapter 418: Is Your Older Brother Really Dead?

"This guy, has water gotten into his brain?"

Yan Hua couldn't help but let out a curse in his heart, his face full of resentment and disdain.

He slandered inwardly, if his older brother and the others were still around, who would dare to easily come looking for trouble? Would it have been necessary to wait until now, and would they have resorted to such despicable, low-class tactics?

Besides, who curses their own family? This Meng Rang, is he not possessed?

His gaze was fixed tightly on the phone screen, his heart in a state of extreme conflict.

After hesitating for quite a while, he finally gritted his teeth and dialed the number.

It wasn't that he really held Meng Rang in high regard; it was just that, aside from these few people, he truly couldn't find anyone else who could help.

Moreover, he was certain that the other party would be tempted by the deal he was about to propose.

"Beep, beep, beep..." The phone had only rung twice when it was hung up with a "click."

Yan Hua frowned, refusing to believe it, and dialed again. As a result, a mechanical female voice came through the receiver: "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy, please try again later."

"Damn it!" Yan Hua couldn't help but curse, his face turning red with anger. This guy actually blocked him?

"What a bunch of cowards. No wonder they were driven out by my brother and the others without mercy back then."

Yan Hua stomped his feet in anger, but he couldn't swallow this insult today. After pondering for a moment, he fished a second phone out of his Space Item.

Muttering to himself, he skillfully entered the number and dialed again.

After only a few rings, the call was answered, and it was that same familiar, gruff voice: "Hello? Who is this?"

"It's me, Brother Meng." Yan Hua tried his best to make his tone sound respectful.

"You again? You Yan, are you ever going to finish?" Meng Rang cursed on the other end of the line. "Do you really take me for a fool? You think you can trick me into taking the bait by releasing some fake news? Keep dreaming, you son of a bitch! Get lost!"

After cursing, he hung up with a "slap," and immediately added this phone number to his blacklist as well.

Yan Hua seemed to have anticipated this, and there wasn't much surprise on his face.

He calmly took out a third phone and dialed the number again.

"Damn it!" Meng Rang on the other end was about to break down, his voice full of anger and helplessness. "You Yan, what exactly is your problem? You got nothing better to do? Fine, you've got lots of phones, right? I'll just turn mine off, how about that? Let's see if you can still..."

"Brother Meng, I have a deal I want to discuss with you properly." Despite being cursed at, Yan Hua still forced a smile onto his face and spoke with an urgent tone.

"What did you say?" Meng Rang's cursing stopped abruptly, his tone full of suspicion. "You have a deal you want to discuss with me?"

"Yes, Brother Meng, just give me one minute. If you're still not interested after I finish, I promise I will never call to harass you again," Yan Hua vowed.

"Fine, you said it yourself, I'll give you one minute. If you keep calling after I hang up, don't blame me for being impolite!" Meng Rang threatened viciously.

"Yes, Brother Meng, then I'll speak." Yan Hua took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Brother Meng, everything I told you before is true. My brother and the others are really dead, killed by a Martial Artist who uses a blade."

After Yan Hua finished, he paused, expecting the other party to cry out in surprise and then impatiently ask for the ins and outs of the matter. Instead, the other end of the line was strangely quiet, with no reaction at all.

In reality, Meng Rang had an expression of indifference on his face at that moment, and he even felt a bit like laughing.

This Yan Hua, he can really make things up, can't he? A group of C-rank Awakened, actually killed by a Martial Artist with a blade?

Why didn't he say they tripped and died while walking? This lie is way too outrageous.

"Brother Meng, I know you definitely don't believe me, but this is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go into the Awakened Association's system and search for the names of my brother and the others. Once you search, you'll understand everything."

Hearing this, Meng Rang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Although he instinctively felt that such a thing was unlikely and that it was probably Yan Hua trying to trick him, it wouldn't cost him anything to search. Why not give it a try? It wouldn't hurt.

Thus, he nimbly entered Yan Ming's name into the system. A page of information instantly appeared on the screen, and the avatar, which had originally been in color, had now turned gray.

"!!!" Meng Rang's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Re-really dead?"

"Brother Meng, at a time like this, do you still think I'm lying to you?"

Meng Rang didn't answer, his gaze quickly shifting to the character introduction below.

He was already very familiar with the preceding information, but when he saw the last sentence, he was completely stunned.

It clearly stated: Killed by an unknown blade-wielder in Yongan City. This corresponded perfectly with what Yan Hua had said.

"Really dead?" Meng Rang felt his head buzzing.

This was information from the General Association; he didn't believe Yan Ming and the others had the ability to hack into the system to tamper with information. Furthermore, they wouldn't go to such great lengths just to trick him into coming over, would they?

"Yes, not just my brother, Brother Gu, Brother Shangguan, and President Qi and the others are all dead," Yan Hua's voice was low and heavy.

"Wait a second."

Meng Rang became visibly excited, his hands clattering as he typed in the names of the others on the keyboard.

Sure enough, everyone's avatar was black, and the final death information was exactly the same.

"All dead? All dead!" Meng Rang shouted excitedly.

Back then, it was this group of people who had heartlessly driven them out of Yongan City.

All these years, he had dreamed of returning to Yongan City to take revenge on this group of people.

As it turned out, this group of people were all dead, and they had died at the hands of some unknown blade-wielder.

Although he hadn't been able to take revenge with his own hands, seeing this outcome still made him feel incredibly gratified. Truly, heaven punishes the wicked!

"Yan Hua, I was going to go find you guys to settle the score before long, but your brother and the others were better off dying first. Hmph, they got off easy.

However, the rest of you in the Yan Family are still around, right? You calling me to tell me this news is really quite unwise, isn't it?"

Even though Yan Ming and the others were dead, he still felt that there might be something fishy going on.

After all, anyone who was a member of the Yan Family knew about the bad blood between him and Yan Ming, not to mention that Yan Hua was Yan Ming's own younger brother.

What kind of scheme was this guy pulling?

"Brother Meng, you're right, I really shouldn't have told you this news, but I truly had no other choice. After all, you would have found out about this sooner or later, wouldn't you?" Yan Hua said helplessly.

"That's true, too," Meng Rang nodded. "What else? I don't believe you just came to tell me this news so simply."

"Also, our Yan Family has now been driven into a corner," Yan Hua said, gritting his teeth with a look of hatred.
