Chapter 990: Chapter 398: The Ultimate Answer Chapter 990: Chapter 398: The Ultimate Answer Yan Fei had only come to track down the hidden enemy when he stumbled upon a massive conspiracy against himself. Under Yang Qing's manipulation, an Assassination Squad targeting him and Dream Island was formed without Yan Fei's knowledge. Even the venerable Sun Family was tempted to join this plot against him.

Yan Fei never imagined that the person secretly working against him would be Yang Liu's illegitimate son. Then he realized that Yang Qing was an incredible orator with an extraordinary IQ and a knack for strategizing. Therefore, Yan Fei immediately took Yang Qing seriously, marking him as an exceptionally dangerous enemy, and decided to strike first, planning to take out Yang Qing as soon as possible to nip the danger in the bud.

So, when Yan Fei learned that Yang Qing was about to leave the Sun Family's old residence, he decided to follow him, intending to find a secluded place to eliminate Yang Qing. While Yang Qing was just an ordinary person and Yan Fei had many ways to kill him without even showing himself, Yan Fei was convinced that Yang Qing's fate was sealed.

But before the Mechanical Sparrow hidden in the basement's ventilation could retreat, the three Elders of the Sun Family who remained in the basement started a new conversation. After considering for a moment, Yan Fei decided not to let the Mechanical Sparrow leave immediately and instead controlled it to keep monitoring the situation in the basement.

Once the basement was clear of outsiders, the white-bearded Great Elder said, “What are your thoughts on this matter?”

The Second Elder, somewhat excited, said, “Big brother, this is a fantastic opportunity for our Sun Family. I think we should absolutely get involved. With the Four Major God-Level Experts plus our Sun Family elite, we can definitely kill Yan Fei in a surprise attack and obtain immense benefits.”

The Great Elder said, “We had been planning to acquire Yan Fei and Dream Island's immense wealth anyway, but now that others have the same idea, if they act before us and succeed, our plans will be utterly ruined. However, we can neither interfere with nor delay their actions, so we must participate in this affair, or else our Sun Family might end up empty-handed in this division of wealth.”

The Third Elder said, “Elder brothers, I still find it hard to trust that young man's words. I have a sense of unease and worry that he might be using our Sun Family. Therefore, until the Family Head comes out of seclusion, it would be best for our Sun Family not to get involved.”

The Second Elder said, “But I think that young man is not lying, and his analysis makes sense. Our Sun Family's strength is powerful and recognized by everyone. There have been many who dared to deceive our Sun Family in history, but those who did paid a grave price. Thus, I can't think of anyone who would dare risk using our Sun Family.”

The Third Elder said, “Everyone is overlooking one thing, and that is China's attitude towards this matter. I've heard that the state is extremely concerned about Yan Fei and Dream Island. If they find out someone wants to assassinate Yan Fei, they might intervene to rescue him and trouble us afterward.”

The Second Elder said, “If we use a sneak attack, killing Yan Fei will only take a moment. China won't possibly know in advance nor have time to rescue Yan Fei. Maybe after they find out Yan Fei is dead, they will even rush to carve up Dream Island's wealth. By then, since Yan Fei is dead, he's of no value to them anymore. After weighing the options, they might just turn a blind eye to this matter and certainly won't trouble our Sun Family.”

The Third Elder said, “But I still don't trust that young man. His father is a cold-hearted man, only interested in personal gain, without any sense of national righteousness or other emotions. His readiness to concede the other technologies of Dream Island to foreign nations just to obtain the Smartphone Technology shows his nature. Do you think a person like that would stick to principles and agree to share Dream Island's vast wealth with our Sun Family when faced with huge interests at stake?”

Hearing the Third Elder's words, the Second Elder fell into deep thought, while the Great Elder sighed and said, “If the Family Head had not been injured and gone into seclusion, our Sun Family would not be facing such a choice. We would definitely have gone straight to Dream Island to seize the massive profits for ourselves. We would not be participating in such a multifaceted operation plan, or even worrying about being used by others.”

The Second Elder said, “Big brother, there's always been one question on my mind, and that is why did the Family Head insist on entering that mysterious Light Portal at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle? Even if there were some powerful items inside that Light Portal, it's unlikely they could immediately enhance the overall strength of our Sun Family, right?”

The Great Elder looked around, then said quietly, “The true story behind that has been told to me by the Family Head–it's a great secret of our clan. Originally, I was not supposed to share it with you, but considering the current situation, it doesn't matter if I tell you the secret.”

Both Elders were indeed very interested in this issue, yet had always been puzzled about it. Now that the Great Elder was willing to reveal this secret, they perked up, staring intently at him.

The Great Elder gathered his emotions and said, “Do you know what exactly is inside that underwater Light Portal?”
