In the dimly lit corner, a figure with blurred contours stood silently. This person did not want to reveal their identity, hence deliberately dressed to cloak themselves in black, even their face was concealed.

No one knew the true identity of the mysterious figure in black.

Chu Mengyao couldn't guess the identity of the mysterious figure.

Du Xueqi and the five women were equally puzzled, full of confusion.

The experts from the Huang, Zheng, and Chen Families were extremely surprised; the emergence of this situation greatly hindered their actions. The ability to injure the Chen Family's expert with a single flying knife was indeed extraordinary.

"Who exactly is he? According to our prediction, Chu Group couldn't possibly possess someone so formidable. Judging by the skill he just displayed, his strength is definitely above ours. He approached us silently, unnoticed, bypassing Matsui Kemono's defenses and appearing before us; it's truly shocking."

The experts of the Huang Family were filled with intense astonishment, especially at the display of strength by the figure in black, which was truly frightening.

The expert from the Chen Family, having brushed with death, looked at the figure in black with a complex gaze.

Regardless of the identity of the figure in black, the fact that he rescued Chu Mengyao from the Chen expert's deadly strike filled Chu Mengyao and Du Xueqi's five women with gratitude.

"Throughout Huaxia, there are only a few experts that have reached the Human Body Limit. The figure in black before us conceals his identity, indicating fear of Second Master Li and reluctance to reveal himself. Fearing the Five Families' retribution, he may be strong on the Earth Ranking but not enough to exceed us. If two of us surrounded him, we could certainly bring him to justice. It's evident we have nothing to fear."

"We have the support of the Five Families behind us. Even if the Ma Family's attitude is ambiguous now, it cannot shake the authority of our families standing strong in the Northwest, which are not cowards but rather predators."

"We are the ones who bully others; we won't let anyone stand over us and act recklessly."

"Thus, regardless of the identity or background of the figure in black, we must kill him and tear him to pieces to defend the honor and status of the Five Families."

The three experts from the Huang, Zheng, and Chen Families exchanged glances, deep in their eyes flashed a strong intent to kill.

They firmly believed that the figure in black was not an expert of Human Body Limit, therefore there was nothing to fear.

Struggling with their injuries, Du Xueqi and the five women stood up, surrounding Chu Mengyao in the middle.

Ma Fuyi stood in a wretched state, yet he was joyful about the appearance of the figure in black. As long as Chu Mengyao survived, Chu Group wouldn't fall, the Ma Family would have a glimmer of hope; otherwise, the other four families would strike at the Ma Family's betrayal with thunderous fury, making it impossible for the Ma Family to linger on.

"Who are you?" The expert from the Zheng Family asked politely, addressing the figure in black.

"You don't qualify to know my identity," the figure in black responded hoarsely, altering his voice.

"Hmph, just a pawn hiding his head yet dares to speak arrogantly! Someone who deliberately changes their voice and conceals their true face dare to be proud before us? Look at yourself and consider if you have the capacity!" The expert from the Huang Family sneered coldly: "I suspect you fear the authority of the Five Families, thus intentionally hiding your identity. But if you dare to emerge and oppose us, your end will only be death. In front of the Five Families, no matter your leverage or identity, you're like an ant trying to stop a chariot, destined for self-destruction."

"Heh." The figure in black laughed dismissively, "For years, the Five Families have been arrogant and domineering, treating themselves as local emperors in the business world of the Northwest, mercilessly suppressing and annexing any new dynamic industries and companies. What's the difference between the Five Families' actions and that of bandits?"

"Your words reveal you understand the situation in the Northwest Business Community well. You're a sensible person, and sensible people don't do foolish things. I don't know why you're helping Chu Mengyao, but hiding your identity now shows fear of Second Master Li's influence." The expert from the Zheng Family relented slightly, slowly stating: "I'll give you a choice: don't fight against us, otherwise you'll face a dire outcome. In front of the Five Families, your family and friends will encounter accidents, and it's likely you won't find the culprits behind their deaths."

If the figure in black could be scared off or deterred into cautious action, it would reduce the number of adversaries. The expert from the Zheng Family aimed to kill Chu Mengyao and complete the task, not engaging in conflict with the figure in black.

Compared to the Huang Family expert's murderous intent, the Zheng Family expert valued the task more, not caring for the survival of the figure in black.

The identity of the figure in black remained a mystery for now, but it could be investigated later and then he could be eliminated. For now, completing the task was the priority.

"Hahaha, Five Families, such bold words, daring to threaten me? Haha, laughable, truly laughable." The figure in black laughed heartily, as if hearing the world's funniest joke, mockingly saying: "Other than the Human Body Limit expert from the Li Family whom one might respect, the rest of the Five Families are mere profiteers, ruthless executioners willing to use any means to reach their goals. The three of you, including Ma Fuyi, are each psychotic killers. It's no surprise that you perform shady acts for the honor and glory of the Five Families, eliminating those threats. You possess such twisted mentality, it's reasonable, and I'm not surprised at all."

"Courting death, the honor of the Five Families cannot be slighted or underestimated by someone like you."

"I'll crush you and feed you to the dogs."

"Quickly meet your end."

The expert from the Zheng Family was furious.

"Your sneak attack left me with a minor injury, now I'll break your neck." The Chen Family expert was filled with killing intent.

The fight was imminent, and clashes erupted.

The experts from the Zheng and Chen Families, wrapped in thunderous fury, charged at the figure in black.

The expert from the Huang Family, fueled by anger, could only block the traitor Ma Fuyi.

Ma Fuyi felt complicated. Having been disparaged by the figure in black in such a way, he felt uncomfortable inside, despite admitting the figure in black made a valid point. However, now standing with the Chu Group, was he not excluded from such insulting remarks?
