"Evan Household boy, you do have some skills; I didn't expect you to fool even me!"
Two figures walked into the hall from outside. One of them was Samuel Thomas, who clapped his hands and spoke with a sinister look on his face as he looked at Junlin.
"Third Brother, was it really you who poisoned Father?" Timothy Thomas quickly asked Samuel.
"There's no point in hiding it now; yes, I poisoned him!" Samuel admitted openly.
The entire Thomas family was instantly stunned.
"Wretched child, why did you do this?" Elder Thomas glared at Samuel, his face filled with anger and sorrow.
"Why? Naturally, for the position of the head of the Thomas Household!" Samuel replied coldly.
"But even if something happened to Father, the position wouldn't fall to you!" Timothy said, confused.
"Of course, I knew that," Samuel sneered. "I was planning to frame the poisoning on our eldest brother and then arrange an accident for you, Second Brother. That way, the position of head of the household would naturally be mine."
"Unfortunately, all of this was ruined by you, boy!" Samuel's eyes gleamed coldly as he stared at Junlin. "If it weren't for you, my plan would have succeeded perfectly!"
"For the mere position of head of the household, you dare to harm your own father? You heartless beast, you deserve to die!" Junlin shouted coldly.
"Is he the one who ruined my poison?" At this moment, the other person who had come with Samuel looked at Junlin with a cold gaze.
This man was dressed in a black robe, with sunken eyes, prominent cheekbones, a hooked nose, and a pair of chilling eyes that made one's skin crawl.
"Yes, my lord, it's him!" Samuel replied with a respectful expression toward the man. "Please, my lord, capture him!"
The man looked at Junlin with a cold smile. "I didn't expect there to be someone in this mundane world who could break my poison. You do have some skills!"
"Your so-called poison? Just child's play!" Junlin curled his lips with disdain.
Swoosh!
His words made the man's face turn dark as ink, his eyes shining with a vulture-like cold light. He stepped forward and said coldly, "Arrogant boy, today I'll show you what real poison is!"
In an instant, the man waved his hand, and a multicolored powder flew toward Junlin.
Junlin stood motionless as the colorful powder landed all over him.
"Heir!" Cole Sharp and Evie called out to Junlin with changed expressions.
"No need to call; this boy has been hit by my Five-Color Poison. In an instant, his internal organs will rot, and he will die!" the man sneered coldly.
"Junlin!" Sophie Thomas looked at Junlin with a face full of worry and concern. But Junlin suddenly said, "Five-Color Poison? The name isn't great, and the poison is even worse!"
"You... you're fine?" The man stared at Junlin, his pupils shrinking with disbelief. Even though his poison wasn't the top, it was one of the best among the many poisons of the Five Poisons Sect. Even a powerful martial artist would fall if they were hit by it. How could this boy be unharmed?
"Do you think this toy could kill me? Are you underestimating me?" Junlin sneered.
Over the past seven years, his second master had been enhancing his medical skills by poisoning him daily with all kinds of strange toxins. Compared to those, this poison was like a child's game.
The man nearly choked with rage at Junlin's words, but he remained calm, realizing that this boy could ignore his Five-Color Poison and was no ordinary person. For safety, he turned to escape immediately.
"Do you think you can run?" Before the man could move, Junlin's hand pressed on his shoulder, forcing him to his knees, coughing up blood uncontrollably.
"What... what are you doing? I'm a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect! If you dare harm me, they won't spare you!" the man shouted at Junlin, his face twisted with fear.
Crack, crack, crack!
Junlin exerted force on the man's shoulder, causing his internal organs to burst instantly. The man spat out blood and died on the spot!
"Five Poisons Sect? What a joke!" Junlin scoffed.
Swoosh!
Junlin's gaze shifted to Samuel Thomas, whose eyes darted around as his greatest ally lay dead. He immediately knelt before Elder Thomas with regret, "Father, I'm sorry! It's all my fault. I was blinded by greed and did such a beastly thing. You can punish me however you see fit!"
"You... sigh..." Elder Thomas looked at Samuel, wanting to say something but unable to, only sighing heavily.
"Grandfather Thomas, this man is wicked. I think it's best to kill him right away!" Junlin suggested. Samuel shuddered at these words, his face constantly changing, but he remained silent.
"Lock him up for now. Let me think this over!" Elder Thomas said wearily.
Junlin saw this and said nothing more. After all, this was Thomas family business, and he had no place to intervene.
Next, Junlin instructed Cole Sharp to return the bodies of Dorothy Collins and her child to the Blake Household. He and Evie then went to a commercial district in the southern part of Jianghai City.
The commercial district was filled with towering buildings and numerous companies.
Junlin stood outside a tall building, gazing at it with memories flooding his mind.
This was the former headquarters of the Evan Group.
Back then, the Evan Group was the leading company in Jianghai, and Junlin's father had personally built this building. It had become a place of deep memory for Junlin, apart from the Evan Household!
However, after the downfall of the Evan Household, the Evan Group was divided by various forces in Jianghai, and this building had also fallen into the hands of others.
Today, Junlin had come to reclaim the building that his father had personally built!
"Heir, this building is now controlled by the Taiyuan Group..." Evie explained the background of the current owner of the building to Junlin.
After listening, Junlin walked straight into the building.
On the twenty-eighth floor of the building, inside an office, a tall, slender woman with a refined appearance, wearing a black professional suit with her hair tied up, was working...
