Chapter 891: Chapter 863: Yu Manfang’s Counterattack

"What’s going on?!"

"Can someone tell me, what on earth is going on?!"

Yu Manfang glared at the members of the Yu Family with a dark expression, roaring loudly.

Just moments ago, after the crowd dispersed and they were preparing to head to the pawnshop, everyone suddenly discovered that all the valuables they had been carrying had vanished without a trace.

Even the old housekeeper wasn’t spared.

As the head of the Yu Family, he never carried any valuables on him.

His belongings were entrusted to the old housekeeper for safekeeping, but now, those items were also gone.

To them, this was undoubtedly yet another crushing blow.

"Patriarch, I’m sorry. The blame for this lies entirely with me." The old housekeeper stepped forward, bowing his head and speaking in a voice heavy with remorse.

They wanted to conquer this city, but things had to start gradually. First, they needed a foothold.

But now, with all their possessions stolen, they found themselves in an extremely awkward predicament.

Looking at the younger generation of the Yu Family, Yu Manfang’s face remained grim.

But after a moment, he suddenly began to laugh.

The sight of his laughter left the gathered Yu Family members baffled and uneasy.

"Why is the old patriarch laughing? Did he lose his mind from anger?"

"You’re the one who’s lost their mind! I think the old patriarch has come up with a plan!"

Yu Manfang raised one hand and lightly tapped his temple. "It’s my fault. In fact, from the very beginning, we might have misunderstood something."

Shaking his head, he continued.

"Old Patriarch, what do you mean?" The old housekeeper looked at Yu Manfang and couldn’t help but ask.

Yu Manfang’s face broke into a bitter smile. "I made a mistake. We didn’t come here to play. We came here for war!"

"This war might have started long before we even noticed it. If we can attack them, why wouldn’t they calculate our movements in advance and strike first?" Yu Manfang finally realized the truth, a bitterness etched on his face.

Somebody must be pulling tricks!

Otherwise, with their strength, how could they end up in such a pitiful state?

This isn’t a game! This is war!

Yu Manfang finally came to his senses.

"The enemy clearly made their move long ago. We just failed to notice it until we were backed into a corner." Shaking his head, Yu Manfang stated plainly.

Hearing Yu Manfang’s words, the old housekeeper and the experts of the Yu Family finally reacted.

Someone must indeed be playing tricks on them!

It all made sense now!

No wonder their journey so far had been fraught with such bad luck.

Certain incidents seemed far too coincidental.

In turn, every bit of misfortune they had encountered was now attributed to their enemies.

"Even so, since things have come to this point, there’s nothing more to be done." Yu Manfang declared.

"Patriarch, what is your plan..." The old housekeeper hesitated before asking.

"My plan?" Yu Manfang shook his head. "I have no grand plan. A true strongman doesn’t need such schemes. All I need to do is force out the person behind this and kill them."

A cold smirk curled on Yu Manfang’s lips. "At this point, I’ve figured out their intention. It’s clear they see this city as their home base."

"If it’s their home base, then it must require meticulous management, correct? If their structure were to fall into turmoil, I imagine they wouldn’t be too happy about it." A harsh glint flashed in Yu Manfang’s eyes.

...

"Hahaha..."

"Little Ye Zi, that move of yours was absolutely ruthless!" Catherine pointed at Ye Tu, laughing so hard she clutched her stomach.

The other key members of the Palace of the Nether King were also erupting into laughter.

This time, Ye Tu had gone too far.

Seizing the opportunity of the crowded scene, Ye Tu discreetly led his special team into action, robbing the Yu Family members of practically everything valuable—except the clothes on their backs.

The old housekeeper, in particular, had the most lucrative spoils.

And hilariously enough, among Ye Tu’s loot was a piece of women’s underwear.

The underwear was plain and old-fashioned, resembling a design from decades past.

But Ye Tu remembered very clearly—he had swiped it from a man.

"Well..." Scratching his head awkwardly, Ye Tu said, "I didn’t know these guys had such peculiar habits. If I’d known, I’d have left it with him."

His comment sparked even louder laughter, amplifying the hilarity all around him.

"Honestly, I can’t figure out the Yu Family. They had perfectly good carriages but insisted on ’the road is beneath our feet’ nonsense. Now, look where it got them," Wang Bolin interjected, unable to stifle his own amusement.

The others nodded in agreement with Wang Bolin’s observation.

It was then that Li Chen clapped his hands, signaling it was time to be serious. "Alright, enough joking around. Still, I’d wager this incident dealt a significant blow to the Yu Family."

"If I’m not mistaken, their next move will involve using extreme measures to try to force us out of hiding." Li Chen pondered aloud. "Of course, if they don’t act, then as the hidden force, we can toy with them as we please."

"Boss is right! I hope they’re entertaining enough!" Ye Tu chimed in.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but it looks like your wish won’t come true." At that moment, Catherine walked in from the side, addressing the group.

"What’s the situation?" Li Chen asked.

Although he had anticipated that the Yu Family might resort to extreme tactics, he didn’t expect them to escalate this drastically.

After listening to Catherine’s report, Li Chen furrowed his brow slightly.

"Do they really have the guts to attack the Municipal Center?"

"Yes," Catherine nodded. "But the attacker wasn’t the whole lot of the Yu Family—it was only one person."

"One person?" Li Chen raised an eyebrow curiously.

Without saying more, Catherine immediately displayed photos she had specially prepared.

In the Municipal Center’s grand hall stood an elderly man.

Around him, everyone else was either lying or collapsed. Not a single person remained standing. Just from the image alone, you could feel the awe-inspiring presence of the old man.

However, when Li Chen clearly saw the elderly man’s face, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"So, it was him."
