In the castle in the centre of Radiant Island.
Peze was sitting in a large leather chair. A young man in black stood respectfully in front of him.
Peze was holding a wooden box with a wilted leaf.
He looked at the wilted leaf quietly. After a few minutes, he raised his head and looked at the young man in black. "Who is the owner of this wilted leaf?"
"Mr. Peze, the owner of this leaf is the master of my family." The young man in black said respectfully.
"Is your lord's last name Zhao?" asked Peze.
The young man in black nodded. "Yes."
"That's right." Peze took a deep breath. This wilted leaf was a gift from him many years ago. He thought that he would never see it again in this life. Who would have thought that he would see this wilted leaf close to the end of his life? Thinking of his life many years ago, Peze smiled bitterly. At that time, he was running around and had nothing to rely on.
Peze closed the wooden box and put it away. Then he said, "Tell me, why did your lord ask you to come here?"
"My lord wants to kill one person. That person is on good terms with Radiant island, so he specially asked me to ask for Mr. Peze's favour." The young man in black said.
"Oh?" Peze raised his eyebrows. "Whose life?"
"Master of the Su Family in Yanjing!" The young man in black said firmly.
Peze's face changed. He knew very well who the Master of the Su Family in Yanjing was.
"Do you want to kill the Master of the Su Family in Yanjing?" Peze confirmed again and clenched his fists at the same time. Although the leaf was his token, he would not hesitate to choose his loyalty to the island over this token. Even if such a choice got him killed, he would not care.
"Yes!" The young man in black nodded vigorously. Then he took out a photo and handed it to Peze with both hands.
At the moment when he saw this photo, he suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
"Mr. Peze?" The young man looked at him with a puzzled face. He didn't understand why Peze suddenly made such a reaction.
Peze' eyes suddenly narrowed. He looked at the young man in black and asked, "I want to ask you. Did the owner of this leaf directly send you to come here? Was there anyone else in between?"
Under the gaze of Peze, the young man in black subconsciously took two steps back. He felt chills all over his body and could not help but shiver. "Mr.. Mr. Peze, there is no one else in between."
Obviously, the young man in black was not confident enough, because this leaf was a gift from President Zhao's father, and President Zhao gave it to him. So President Zhao was in the middle.
Hearing this, Peze nodded and smiled. "Do you know? I can kill you if you lie to me. But for the sake of the leaf's owner, I will spare your life. Get out of here!"
When Peze spoke, a powerful momentum pressed toward the young man in black.
The young man in black was shocked. "Mr. Peze, I don't understand."
"You don't understand?" Peze stood up from his seat, picked up the picture handed over by the young man in black, and questioned, "Do you know who the person in the photo is?"
As soon as he took a step forward, the young man in black took two steps back.
"The person in the photo is none other than the master of the Su Family of Yanjing..." Before the young man in black could finish his words, he was interrupted by Peze.
