Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 263: The Grim Reaper

After quite a while, Ye Wudi finally calmed down, collapsing into his chair as if his bones had been pulled out of his body.

Xiao Zhan witnessed this scene and didn’t know what to say.

It took a long while before he finally spoke, "What she said might not necessarily be true."

Ye Wudi waved his hand weakly, "You needn’t comfort me, I had long felt there was something suspicious about my brother’s death. I just never expected it was a trap set by the Federation! My brother died such an unjust death!"

One must know, Ye Wuming’s death occurred during the war where he aided the Federation in repelling a Seventh Grade Demon Beast!

Yet, unexpectedly, all of it turned out to be a deep-seated conspiracy orchestrated by the Federation!

To repay kindness with enmity; how could this not enrage Ye Wudi!

"What do you plan to do now? Are you really going to send troops to attack the Federation?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Sending troops was no trivial matter; it represented not the will of a single person but the stance of an entire federation.

Even if Ye Wudi was filled with fury, he could not act rashly!

Knowing this, Ye Wudi, despite his overwhelming anger, felt like a golden sparrow locked in a cage, unable to vent even a fraction of his emotions.

"But this vengeance must be avenged!"

At this moment, the door was suddenly flung open, and Ye Youlong walked in, her face icy cold.

After hearing of Ye Wuming’s death, she had always assumed Ye Wudi, wanting to seize the position of the Family Head, had deliberately plotted the murder.

However, as she got to know him better, she realized it was not the case.

Especially after Ye Wudi entrusted her with the Death Seal, the greatest opportunity of the Ye Family, she had even stronger doubts that Ye Wudi was the murderer.

But she had always believed that her father’s death was not simple and certainly involved some unknown conspiracy.

She had never imagined, though, that the entire Federation was behind this plot.

"You killed her too soon; you didn’t even ask why the Federation did such a thing," Ye Youlong said coldly, looking at Ye Wudi.

Her tone wasn’t intentionally cold, but it still made Ye Wudi feel somewhat uneasy to meet her gaze.

"I was too angry, though it’s only the Lee Corporation that has the capability to make a move against us within the Federation," Ye Wudi said.

"I’ll go catch someone to interrogate now!"

Ye Youlong turned around and left; she didn’t want to waste a moment.

"Wait," Ye Wudi called out.

"What is it?"

"Don’t let anyone else know about this."

"I understand."

Ye Wudi added, "What I mean is, apart from the Federation, we also can’t let the top echelons of Longxia know."

"Why?" Ye Youlong was puzzled, but after a moment, she added, "Even if we find evidence, we can’t let them know?"

Ye Wudi nodded helplessly, "Yes, even with irrefutable evidence, we can’t let them know."

"Give me a reason."

"The reason is simple. The Federation, though seemingly independent, actually serves as a watchdog fostered by us."

"Its existence is to provide us with a buffer in case the Demon Beasts launch a disaster."

"So even if we have evidence of the Federation deliberately framing the Ye Family, the probable course of action from the Longxia higher-ups would be to find a scapegoat rather than truly wage war."

"After all, if the entire Lee Corporation is eradicated, we would ultimately suffer the loss. The consequences of losing one’s lips to save one’s teeth should be clear to you."

"So we should just let them murder us and not fight back?" Ye Youlong asked angrily.

"Of course we have to fight back!" Ye Wudi affirmed with an unwavering resolution, "That’s why I’m telling you not to let the higher-ups know. Wiping out the entire Federation is impossible, but a tooth for a tooth, making the Lee Corporation pay a bloody price is a must!"

After hearing this, Ye Youlong’s brows were still furrowed, clearly dissatisfied.

She wanted to say more, but Xiao Zhan came to her side and took her hand.

Thus, she remained silent.

Ye Wudi then said, "If you are going to act, the Phantom Squad must not accompany you. Their Artifact Spirits can easily give away your identity."

"Doesn’t that mean I’ll be easier to discover?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Death Demon Scythe, the only one in the world.

Another attribute of an SSS-grade Artifact Spirit is its uniqueness.

Other Artifact Spirits may have duplicates, but an SSS-grade never does.

Therefore, the moment Ye Youlong makes a move, everyone will know her identity.

"That’s why you should keep appearances to a minimum, and when you do appear, make sure not to let others detect you."

After finishing, Ye Wudi continued, "When my elder brother left, besides leaving behind the Death Seal, he also left an organization that had followed him through life and death."

"This organization, I do not fully understand either, but I know that every individual within it is a master capable of holding their ground alone."

"Their abilities cover various areas, yet outsiders have no knowledge about them. If you can gain their acknowledgment, it would make this task much smoother for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s expression brightened, thinking that the Ye Family, as one of the eight major families, couldn’t be weak as a dog with nothing substantial to offer.

So, it was all hidden.

He asked, "What is the name of this organization?"

"Reaper."

Reaper, the same as Ye Wuming’s title.

Xiao Zhan nodded and then asked, "How do we gain their acknowledgment?"

At this point, Ye Wudi shook his head, "That’s up to you. If they wish to acknowledge you, merely standing there would be enough for them to do so."

"Is there any particular way?"

Ye Wudi explained, "The Reaper organization obeyed only my elder brother; it’s an absolutely personal organization. After the elder brother passed, they went into hiding. To gain their acknowledgment, I suppose only my brother’s bloodline would suffice."

"So, there’s a chance for you to be acknowledged by them, but whether you’ll definitely gain it, who can say."

Xiao Zhan understood.

"How do we find them?"

"Finding one of them would lead to the rest. To my knowledge, there is someone who has always been staying in Northern City."

"Who is that?"

"Butler He."

"Isn’t he dead?" Xiao Zhan exclaimed in surprise.

He hadn’t seen Butler He being killed, but the body of Butler He was indeed real.

Ye Wudi snorted lightly, "As a butler who followed my elder brother for many years, do you think he could die so easily? That was just a substitute."

"Then why didn’t he show up in the end?"
