After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

"Will you submit willingly, or must I force you?" Chen Xing turned around and looked at the remaining members of the Lin Family.

Lin Xuanyu's eyes flickered, his gaze drifting uncertainly onto his beast.

He was considering whether there was a chance of escaping now.

But the thought passed through his mind and he quickly dismissed it.

After all, where could he flee to?

Only by fleeing Great Xia and heading through the exotic channel by the Eagle Federation to the Exotic Region might there be a chance.

However, the major powers of Blue Star had an extradition policy in place precisely because of the threat from the Exotic Region, and in some respects, cooperation between the major nations was quite close.

If he were to be officially wanted by the Great Xia, going through the-space channels of the Eagle Federation or Polaris Federation would be very difficult.

Realizing this, Lin Xuanyu listlessly waved his hand and told the others behind him, "Since Sir Chen has spoken, no one should resist."

Lin Xuanyu stressed the word "Sir" quite heavily.

He knew that the other families must have received the intelligence too; when one lip perishes, the teeth feel cold. Seeing Chen Xing's attitude, he was certain that this wouldn't be the end.

Lin Xuanyu bowed his head, knowing that the Lin Family had been planted this time.

Even if this incident were to end, their reputation would plummet, all because they had failed to control their desires and had rushed to the forefront too early.

But... at least the younger generation had escaped; not everyone was held here.

Watching the Lin Family members being detained one after another,

Worry flickered in Zhao Guangming's eyes.

He had seen the names on that list too; in front of those people, the Lin Family was merely a small dish.

The Lin Family was easy to capture this time partly because the action was swift and the Lin Family was unprepared.

Handling other families may not be as easy.

Not to mention, other families would likely have prepared fraudulent accounts in advance, and some with good relationships might even pull in reinforcements.

Moreover...

After yesterday's meeting, which was ostensibly a discussion but essentially a one-man show by Chen Xing,

He had decisively directed members from the Torch to notify the major families listed on the record!

Zhao Guangming was somewhat puzzled by Chen Xing's actions.

Wasn't this giving them time to react? What if they banded together when the time came?

The smarter move would have been to divide and conquer from within.

However, after the meeting yesterday, Zhao Guangming had privately inquired, and Chen Xing had simply said there was no problem, so he didn't bring it up again, after all, Chen Xing was the leader.

In the distance, on a mountain peak, a man was holding a high-powered camera, recording the scene here.

Wait until the scene of the Lin Family members being detained was captured.

The man's lips slightly curved upward; tomorrow, the big news of Torch's new leader detaining the Lin Family would appear in major national news outlets.

At the same time, the news would include a detailed description of Chen Xing's background, thoroughly exposing him under the spotlight.

He pressed the pause button.

The man put the camera into his backpack, adjusted the brim of his fisherman's hat, picked up the climbing stick next to him, and prepared to leave the area disguised as a mountaineering enthusiast.

But suddenly, a gentle tap came on his shoulder.

The man's pupils constricted, he rolled forward, and summoned his beast at the same time.

But the next second, almost simultaneously with the news of his beast's death, the man's soul felt as if it had been hammered.

He let out a scream and fell heavily to the ground.

From the shadow at his feet, a transparent black tentacle slowly emerged from the darkness and then completely enveloped him.

After a moment, the black tentacle sank into the ground.

The place became deserted.

In the Lin Family's secret passage, hidden behind a wall in one of the restrooms, there was a secret passage leading to the underground.

The passage extended hundreds of meters deep into the ground, moving toward a far distant place.

Lin Xuanlei walked through the passage, followed by three young elites of the Lin Family.

Lin Beizhong, Lin Beisheng, Lin Beilu.

"Uncle, where are we going?"

"We can't stay in Great Xia anymore. Once we get out, put on the mud masks, and then use disguised identities to leave Great Xia. Try to make your way to the Eagle Federation, and then go to the Exotic Region after the situation calms down. You all have talent; remember, Chen Xing is the one who targeted our Lin Family this time! If you ever gain the capability, do not forget to take revenge," Lin Xuanlei said bitterly.

"Uncle, I remember," Lin Beisheng clenched his fist.

He thought bitterly, he had been comfortably enjoying his role as the young master of the Lin Family, but suddenly, his status had drastically changed.

However, Lin Beizhong and Lin Beilu, who had been following behind, remained silent, causing Lin Beisheng some confusion. Why were his two brothers not speaking? Were they too scared by this incident to think about revenge?

But suddenly, a shiver ran down Lin Beisheng's spine; he realized he had never heard their footsteps.

When did it start?

He turned his head; the narrow, dark passage behind him was empty.

That second, Lin Beisheng's limbs went cold.

"Uncle!"

Lin Beisheng shouted loudly.

But the uncle who was just speaking did not respond when he turned back.

Lin Beisheng's pupils dilated again; the uncle, who was just hurrying forward, had been covered by numerous black tentacles at some unknown time.

When the tentacles disappeared, the uncle had vanished without a trace.

Lin Beisheng was enclosed in coldness; what was this shadowy tentacle in the tunnel?

Even his uncle, an advanced transcendent-tier Beast Tamer, had been strangled and disappeared without any resistance.

Now, he was left alone in the passage, surrounded quietly by the black tentacles enveloping him.
