Ye Zhongming watched with pain from the side.
He even saw the previously arrogant Qiemen Clan Leader's body get twisted by that palm strike.
However, before he could hit the ground, the shadow of the giant palm struck out again, slapping the Qiemen away in another direction with a loud noise.
Just like that, the massive palm shadow continued to swing, sending the leader of the Phantom Kill Clan flying around like a ball.
By the end, he had completely lost his human form, reduced to a lump of human flesh.
Ye Zhongming couldn't help but shake his head. What a flashy entrance it was earlier! What a domineering declaration!
But now, look at him—first punched away, and then slapped to death.
He had no idea if the Phantom Kill Clan had any descendants left. If not, then it would truly be a case of extermination.
After the bookkeeper killed, he walked over to Ye Zhongming's side, slightly raising his head to reveal half of his face.
"I'm very sorry."
Ye Zhongming's body shook at this.
Although he had never seen Commander Cheng Liujin or the two Lords of the Star Eye Clan in action, he was certain that the three members of the Star Eye Clan combined would not be able to match this person before him.
This person casually killed a top assassin, who would undoubtedly be a number one character even among the great clans.
Having such a person apologize to someone with just a few thousand followers like fuleira—Ye Zhongming, even as the King of Cloud Summit, was unable to endure it.
"As long as you can help us solve the problem, don’t mention gratitude; I can do anything you ask." This person understood Ye Zhongming's feelings, so he continued, "I will follow you until you leave, don't worry."
"Here..."
Ye Zhongming pointed at the battlefield.
"We have completely shielded an area nearby before coming here. The Old Dean means to treat it as if nothing happened and resolve it privately."
Ye Zhongming was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood.
If the matter got out, it would definitely cause a major uproar, and the All Races of the Universe would join hands to investigate it.
Perhaps Ye Zhongming and others would get an explanation, and subsequent assassination attempts on him would be scrutinized, but the bookkeeper would very likely be exposed too.
To be honest, the Old Dean had spent twenty years hiding eight hundred and fifty bookkeepers. During the time when no one was paying attention, this was a slow and steady effort.
But once someone became suspicious, finding over eight hundred people in a city is not terribly difficult.
As long as one out of the group of eight hundred was discovered, the entire group would be exposed.
In this case, the best solution was indeed as the Old Dean decided—to suppress it directly.
As long as Ye Zhongming and others remained silent, the planners of this assassination would also keep quiet, and no one would pay attention. With no attention, the secrets of the bookkeepers would remain undiscovered, which was in the best interest for both the Library Palace and Ye Zhongming.
As for possible future assassination attempts, Ye Zhongming still had some confidence in dealing with them; this time, he was indeed a bit careless.
"I know it will be difficult for you to go back, especially since someone died, but we have captured a living witness from the assassins, and the information will be delivered to you as soon as possible. As for explaining things to the Star Eye Clan, I will need your assistance. And also, you'll have to communicate with the Su Clan."
Ye Zhongming nodded; this wasn't difficult. Whether it was the Star Eye Clan or Jie Su, it was just a matter of him saying a word.
"It's just that here..."
Ye Zhongming pointed at the surrounding buildings. Although there were not many windows on the side of the alley and they were all high up, there were still a few.
The ground was heavily damaged, with corpses and the remnants of the previous restaurant that needed to be dealt with.
"We will handle it well." After the bookkeeper spoke, he didn't show any obvious actions, but his body continued to move back and soon disappeared.
