“Useless!” Black Rose cursed, lifting her hand to slap him. “The people of Ghost City are your enemies. You should attack your enemies and not fall in love with them. You have disappointed me so badly.”

Gu Yuanli was slapped, but he did not seem to have any reaction.

“Back then, that was how you lured me to commit crimes.” Gu Yuanli laughed coldly.

The ocean breeze made his head hurt.

Since he was young, he was raised in Ghost City. Since he was young, he had a good relationship with his Big Brother, and he knew that Second Old Master Gu thought more highly of his Big Brother. He hoped that Big Brother would take over Ghost City and that the brothers would live harmoniously and respectfully. Until Black Rose appeared.

She tried to ruin their relationship, and she caused him to form a gap with his Big Brother at a young age.

When he was young, he was unruly and had high aspirations.

After suddenly finding out that he was not Second Old Master Gu’s biological son, he was really taken aback. He was also misled by Black Rose, and slowly, he lost his sense. How could a child below 21 know how to argue with the vicious and cruel Black Rose?

He was tempted, and hatred grew in him. He read Second Old Master Gu’s favoritism for Big Brother differently and began on the wrong path. When Fang Hongxiu was about to wake up, he listened to Black Rose’s orders and drugged her again.

This caused him to commit the irreversible mistake.

His rebellious nature. His arrogance. His mistakes. They caused this tragedy. After committing the mistake, his younger self was really guilty. He did not wish to leave Ghost City and his younger brothers. Yet, he could not face Black Rose. He hated Black Rose, and he flew abroad to escape and further his studies.

He almost regretted immediately upon committing the wrong act.

Many years later, he uncovered the truth from word of mouth slowly through various people. That was then when he realized how ridiculously wrong he was, but it was too late to return things to its state. Fang Hongxiu could not be healed, and while he was studying abroad, Black Rose never went to look for him at all.

He thought that it meant his nightmares had left.

Who knew, it would attack him again.

This time, he did not fall for it so easily, but if he did not do as Black Rose said, she might go and look for Gu Xie next. For that, he could only be Black Rose’s accomplice and attempt to take over Second Old Master Gu’s power so that Black Rose would trust him. At the same time, he had his guard up. He did not allow her to get in touch with anyone else in the Gu Family.

Yet, he did not manage to stop the tragedy of his Big Brother and Third Brother.

Black Rose’s goal was to get rid of every single person in Ghost City. She wanted to start with the Masters of Ghost City.

Firstly, it was the eldest one. Then, the third one, followed by the fourth. Luckily, the fifth one was fortunate enough to escape. Yet, he had begun suffering from some social anxiety. He had no idea how to make Black Rose stop.

Unless he killed her.

But he could not kill her.

She was his birth mother.

“Give it up. I will never agree to do anything for you again. At most, I will just tell my father the truth. I will bear all the consequences.” Gu Yuanli glared at Black Rose coldly. “You should stop early. Otherwise, even grandpa’s family will be burdened by you. Don’t think that I have no idea that you used uncle’s status to release Lu Mengyun from prison. You want Lu Mengxi to work with you, but Lu Mengxi is not a nice person. She won’t listen to your plans. You are spending your old age at Black Rose. Please do not interfere with our matters.”

“Oh my great son!” Black Rose laughed coldly. “You have to listen to my words. Even if you don’t want to, you have to! Since you are unwilling to help me, I will warn you too. You better not try anything funny with what I’m doing.”

Black Rose pulled up her sleeves and walked away. Gu Yuanli roared in anger. “When will you stop!?”

“Are you willing to kill all of Gu Chun’s son for Shen Qianshu?”

“You’re mad!”
