The head of the Yao family's eyes were filled with nothing but fear. He had never imagined that dealing with him would be so effortless.
If he had heard Mu Feng's words before this, he would have felt indignant, thinking Mu Feng looked down on him. However, the absolute suppression of strength now made him realize how vast the gap was between him and Mu Feng.
Mu Feng smiled faintly, "Now, your eyes don't even show a trace of anger, only your own fear and regret for facing death."
"I can give you a chance. Cooperate honestly and tell me who is behind you, and I might let you live."
After speaking, he directly loosened his grip.
The head of the Yao family coughed repeatedly. The suffocating sensation he just experienced made him realize how close death had been.
If he were given another chance, he would never seek trouble with Mu Feng again. In fact, he would retreat a hundred miles from any place Mu Feng appeared.
Mu Feng said calmly, "I don't want to waste your time. Tell me directly who is behind you. I'll only ask you this once. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer,"
"You will bear the consequences yourself."
Hearing this, the head of the Yao family's heart skipped a beat. His gaze towards Mu Feng now held a hint of fear.
"I don't believe you don't know who is behind me. You've probably already guessed."
"Besides, those people have been targeting you for a long time. They set their sights on you long ago, and you've clashed with them many times, though each time they were routed by you."
"In this matter, I underestimated your strength. I initially thought those people were too useless, but now I understand that your strength is too great, so great that it makes everyone despair."
The head of the Yao family took several deep breaths, suppressing the fear in his heart. His eyes now held a mixture of regret and trepidation.
"Mu Feng, I'm very pragmatic. I know your character, so I won't pretend or lie to you. After all, many things can be easily verified. If I were to lie, you would undoubtedly make me wish I were dead."
"I can tell you directly now, the person supporting me is the Alliance. And I am a member of the Alliance."
"I believe you've already guessed this."
Mu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. The clue about the Alliance had been lost before, and he hadn't expected it to surface here.
Moreover, he always felt an invisible hand controlling everything from behind the scenes. It seemed his intuition was correct; these matters were all orchestrated by the Alliance.
A cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, "Since you are a member of the Alliance, you should know where those people hide, right?"
"With your strength, you are certainly not an unknown figure within the Alliance. And your Yao family dares to be so reckless, it's likely they have deeply integrated into the Alliance."
"Given your honest cooperation, I'll give you a choice. Betray those people and allow me to capture enough informants. As long as we can follow the clues and find all the members of your Alliance, I can let you leave unharmed."
"This is my promise and your opportunity."
A bitter smile appeared on the head of the Yao family's face, "Mu Feng, you think too highly of me. Even if I am among the stronger members, the information I possess is very limited."
"After all, we are a family with such a long history, and we understand what the Alliance truly is."
"They naturally understand that our Yao family cannot truly integrate with them unless our Yao family truly controls the Alliance. Therefore, they have always been wary of me."
"My understanding of them is extremely limited. I don't even know where their members are. If you want to extract information about them from me, then you are wasting your time."
Mu Feng said with a half-smile, "So, you're useless now?"
"You should know that I had high hopes for you, expecting to extract more useful information. If you're telling me now that you have nothing more to offer, the consequences will be severe."
"Based solely on the information you just provided, it can at most save your life."
"I won't go back on my word about what I promised you. However, if you cannot bring me any further benefits, then you've only escaped the death penalty, but not the punishment."
"Don't doubt my words. I have no need to joke with you or to scare you. You are already fish on my chopping board."
The head of the Yao family's eyes flickered. He did possess some information, but that information was his last lifeline. He also harbored doubts about Mu Feng's words, not believing that Mu Feng would let him go so easily.
His hesitation lasted only a few seconds before he said directly, "My understanding of them is indeed very limited. However, the person I previously transacted with is still waiting at our Yao family."
"I can have him summoned. If you can extract more information from his mouth, perhaps that would be an opportunity. But I estimate that he also knows very limited information."
"After all, the members of the Alliance have always been wary of me, so they wouldn't send truly high-ranking individuals to deal with me. At most, they would send a messenger."
Mu Feng naturally understood how cunning these people were.
If the Alliance were so easily found, it would be a disappointment to him.
He had already avenged his family's hatred, but the people within the Alliance were now his new targets. Although their actions were not directly related to his family's vendetta, there were some connections.
When he took revenge, he had eliminated members of the Alliance directly, and those people naturally would not let it go so easily.
From the beginning, an irreconcilable conflict was destined between them. When the opportunity arose, he would certainly strike a heavy blow against the Alliance.
"You can have that person sent over now. Don't tell me he's at your Yao family. I know you're lying to me, but I can't be bothered to argue with you. If the person doesn't arrive within an hour, you'll face the consequences."
The head of the Yao family felt a bitter smile creep onto his face. He now realized that Mu Feng was not only powerful but also possessed a mind that ordinary people could not match.
From just a slight fluctuation in his expression, he could discern what Mu Feng was thinking. This was truly monstrous.
