159: turmoil!

Sure enough, when the man heard this, he sneered, "Ridiculous. Don't worry, the entire Wei Family will soon go down to accompany you."

This time, the other party didn't give Wei Ziyi a chance to speak, nor did he even use a knife.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out. Wei Ziyi's eyes widened, and he fell back onto the sofa in the booth, his face filled with disbelief. A red spot appeared on his forehead—a bullet hole.

Due to the loud music in the bar, the audience on the dance floor had no idea what had happened.

However, the people in the surrounding booths had long since disappeared. Although this wasn't the first time such an incident had occurred here, and they had encountered it at least twice, this time was completely different.

The person who died was the Young Master Wei, a direct descendant of the Wei Family. Here, someone actually dared to kill a member of the Wei Family.

If they didn't leave now, were they supposed to stay and wait for death?

When the bar manager learned that Wei Ziyi had been killed, he felt as if the sky had collapsed. And he had died right there in his bar. Even if it wasn't his fault, the Wei Family wouldn't care about such things.

By then, he, the manager, would be lucky to escape with his life, even if he didn't die.

For some unknown reason, the live music stopped at that moment.

Someone suddenly shouted, "Young Master Wei... Young Master Wei was killed!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately descended into chaos.

"Young Master Wei? Which Young Master Wei?"

"Idiot, how many Young Master Wei are there here? Of course, it's Wei Ziyi of the Wei Family."

"What? Wei Ziyi is dead?"

When everyone heard that Wei Ziyi had died here, their faces showed expressions of fear, and they quickly ran out.

They knew the Wei Family's methods. It was entirely possible they would make them pay for Wei Ziyi's death.

Seeing this, the manager was about to say a few words to calm everyone down, but he had overestimated himself.

At the same time, he had underestimated these people's fear of the Wei Family.

"Manager, what should we do? Should we fire a warning shot to deter them?"

The bar's security guards couldn't help but ask.

"No, given the current situation, firing a gun to force them to stay will only backfire. Forget it, don't worry about it, let's run."

Although he said this, he had already cursed Wei Ziyi countless times in his heart.

Damn it, if you're going to die, die somewhere far away. Why die in the bar? You could have died outside!

As for finding the killer?

He never had that thought from beginning to end. Besides, with this chaotic scene, the other party had probably already escaped.

Even if the other party was still inside, someone who dared to kill Wei Ziyi was a ruthless individual. It was uncertain who would kill whom among them, a bunch of people just trying to get by.

News of Wei Ziyi's death quickly reached the Wei Family.

Upon hearing of his son's death, Wei Heng's heart trembled. This was his only son.

Now that he was dead, Wei Heng was almost overcome with rage and couldn't stand steadily.

"Who killed him? Investigate for me! I want his entire family to be buried with him."

The butler, standing by, was somewhat startled and hesitant, unsure whether to speak the words on the tip of his tongue.

Seeing his expression, Wei Heng frowned and said sternly, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"

"Patriarch, we learned from the people who ran out of the bar that the person who killed Young Master seems to be… seems to be… Pyramid!"

"What did you say?"

When Wei Heng heard it was Pyramid, his eyes widened like brass bells.

Pyramid. As the Wei Family Patriarch, he knew Pyramid better than Wei Ziyi.

So, upon hearing the three words 'Pyramid', he had to take a deep breath and try to calm himself down.

"Strange, did Ziyi offend anyone during this time? Why would a killer from Pyramid kill him?"

"Replying to Patriarch, Young Master hasn't left Kokang during this time, and he has spent most of his time at the group. He shouldn't have offended anyone."

Hearing the butler's answer, Wei Heng's face darkened. If that was the case, then his son died for nothing?

"Pyramid? Very good. Don't let me find an opportunity. Otherwise, what if you're an assassination organization? There's more than just your one assassination organization in this world."

"Patriarch, what should we do now?"

"First, have someone retrieve Ziyi's body. Also, make the eyewitnesses pay for his death. If they saw him die and didn't help, there's no need for them to live."

The butler's eyelids twitched when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more.

He was about to turn and attend to the matter, but just then...

A young man, his face covered in blood, ran in from outside in a panic.

He seemed to have run too fast, or perhaps he was exhausted, and he stumbled and fell in front of Wei Heng.

When Wei Heng saw this person, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. A bad premonition welled up in his mind, not for any other reason than that the person before him was the spy he had planted in the Bai Family.

"Patriarch... Patriarch, something terrible has happened. The Bai... the Bai Family, all the high-ranking members of the Bai Family have been killed. The Bai Family is now in complete chaos."

Hearing this, Wei Heng's face changed drastically. The Four Great Families maintained the balance in Kokang. With the Bai Family suffering such a catastrophe, the balance had been broken.

But he couldn't understand who had done it.

"What did you say? Who has that capability?"

"Patriarch, I'm not lying to you. If I hadn't seen the situation was bad and escaped, I probably would have died in the Bai Family too. Those people acted not only decisively and ruthlessly, but for some reason, they gave me the feeling that they weren't quite human. Oh, right, they seemed to be called... Pyramid."

Upon hearing the last three words, Wei Heng's heart trembled, and he slumped into his chair.

He felt as if the sky had collapsed.

First, his son was killed, and now the Bai Family.

He now understood that someone was trying to make a move against the Four Great Families.

But who could it be? He couldn't figure it out. To hire Pyramid to cause such a commotion, the commission wouldn't be a small sum.

It was unlikely to be those warlords; with that kind of money, they'd be better off buying more heavy weapons.

But he hadn't heard that the officials wanted to move against them!

Suddenly, a certain force came to mind.

Hydra?

Besides the previous two possibilities, only this one remained for daring to do such a thing.

But why? Hadn't they agreed to stay out of each other's way before?

Even if they were going to renege, it shouldn't be so soon. But whether it was them or not, they had to be wary.

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the phone, wanting to mobilize all of the Wei Family's armed forces to the manor.

He finally managed to get through on the phone, but the sound of artillery fire on the other end chilled him to the bone.
