Red Eagle saw that Ly Tâm understood but still delivered it for him, and he couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief. Hoàng Ưng saw Ly Tâm walk away and came in to look at Red Eagle. "God bless her." Red Eagle nodded in agreement.

For all these years, they had braved mountains of knives and seas of fire without fear. As long as Tề Mặc gave the word, they never flinched. But the news from the Khúc family was something no one was willing to deliver to Tề Mặc personally. He still remembered the first time, when they didn't know any better and delivered news from the Khúc family. The formidable Hắc Ưng had been beaten until his arm was broken and then thrown out. After that, no one dared to deliver it again. If it weren't for the importance of this news, they would have hesitated and hesitated again. And if they hadn't decided that Ly Tâm was special, no one would have dared to deliver it.

The Khúc family was Tề Mặc's mother's family, a well-known business tycoon family in the legitimate world. Khúc Vi was Tề Mặc's only maternal uncle. But it was this very Khúc family that was Tề Mặc's most untouchable minefield. This was a consensus in both the underworld and the legitimate world. Perhaps this day would be the beginning of a storm of blood.

Holding the paper, the more Ly Tâm thought about it, the more she felt she didn't know what was wrong with her to have agreed to deliver the message for Red Eagle. She really didn't know how to face Tề Mặc.

She stood hesitantly at the door, holding the paper, wondering whether to give it back to Red Eagle and not take the risk, or to keep her promise and be cannon fodder this once. Before she could come to a decision, Tề Mặc's cold voice came, "Come here."

Ly Tâm immediately looked up and saw Tề Mặc sitting on the sofa, looking at her with cold eyes. The coldness in his eyes made Ly Tâm shiver twice. She forced a brilliant smile and quickly walked up, standing opposite Tề Mặc.

Tề Mặc saw the fawning smile in Ly Tâm's eyes and how she kept a good distance, standing far away. The coldness in his eyes deepened, and his whole body exuded an icy anger.

Seeing Tề Mặc faintly releasing his anger, Ly Tâm broke into a cold sweat. She obediently said nothing more and, with the determination of a martyr, walked to Tề Mặc's side. This Tề Mặc was really too much. Why was he so sensitive? Anyone else, he would make them stay as far away as possible. But for her, this rule was completely void. It was as close as possible. It wasn't that she deliberately wanted to stay far away from him, but she felt that when Tề Mặc was angry, she would at least have a head start to escape, so as not to be caught completely off guard. That would be terrible. But it seemed Tề Mặc was much smarter than she had imagined.

Standing in front of Tề Mặc, he swept a cold glance over her and said in a low voice, "Speak."

Ly Tâm immediately put on a beaming smile. "Boss, I was wrong. I fully recognize my mistake this morning. I'll never dare to do it again. Boss, you are a magnanimous person, you must forgive me."

After a pause, seeing that Tề Mặc didn't react, only that his brow furrowed even deeper, Ly Tâm immediately continued, "Boss, you know I didn't do it on purpose. People say that as long as one can repent and reform, they can be given a chance. Even a prodigal son's return is more valuable than gold. Boss, I know my sleeping habits are bad, I know my temper is especially bad in the morning, and I also know you have the heart of a Bodhisattva. This time, just give me a chance to correct myself. I will absolutely not make the same mistake again."

She spoke so fast that spit flew, almost gesturing with her hands. Ly Tâm's face was full of sincerity, plus twelve parts honesty. She stood straight and proper before Tề Mặc, explaining her remorse and her sincere desire to change. Although it couldn't be called eloquent, it was definitely profound and moving. This was the first time in Ly Tâm's life that she had spoken these words so fluently, without a hint of resistance.

"Finished?" Tề Mặc put down what he was holding, leaned back on the sofa, crossed his arms, and looked at Ly Tâm coldly.

Seeing that Tề Mặc's anger seemed to have dissipated, leaving only coldness, but this coldness was Tề Mặc's default expression and not a big deal, Ly Tâm thought the danger might have passed. She immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly. "Finished. Boss, just give me a chance to reform. Don't send me to the black jail. Think about it, if you send me to the black jail, you won't have a pillow to hug at night. I'm a very good pillow. If I go to the black jail, even with your care, if I come back with a missing arm or leg, it won't be comfortable for you to hug, right?" This was probably the first time Tề Mặc had seen this side of Ly Tâm.

Seeing this, Tề Mặc immediately raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, "Without it, I've lived for thirty years."

Hearing this, Ly Tâm's eyes narrowed. So Tề Mặc wasn't buying her performance. She had been sincere enough, for goodness' sake. Although there was a lot of acting involved, it was absolutely sincere. After all, she was in the wrong this morning. But, but it was also Tề Mặc who had forced her to get up.

The smile on her face couldn't hold. She glared at Tề Mặc. "Boss, you..." The words "don't go too far" were swallowed back down. Ly Tâm really wanted to lose her temper in front of Tề Mặc, but considering the serious consequences, she chose to endure it.

Tề Mặc saw the look of dissatisfaction and hesitation on Ly Tâm's face. Although she hid it well, for someone as sensitive to auras as him, it was a joke to think he couldn't feel it. He shot a cold glance at Ly Tâm and said indifferently, "I didn't ask you."

Hearing Tề Mặc's words, which seemed to come out of nowhere, Ly Tâm was able to understand his meaning in an instant. She was stunned for a moment. Tề Mặc's meaning was that he hadn't even asked about this morning's incident. What was she doing, going on and on about it? So she had been putting on a one-woman show all this time.

After understanding, Ly Tâm's face fell. "I thought you were going to pursue it?" It had made her say the most cringe-worthy promises, only to find out that Tề Mặc had no such intention. Ly Tâm couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Tề Mặc was not an ordinary person. Don't judge him by ordinary standards. It seemed that in the future, she absolutely couldn't speak first. She had to wait until she understood Tề Mặc's meaning. But what was with the anger and coldness all over him when he saw her? Don't tell me he was just annoyed to see her.

"Speak. Why are you here?" Tề Mặc saw the flash of regret on Ly Tâm's face, and his anger and coldness slowly receded. It was rare to see Ly Tâm so dedicated to avoiding the black jail. He glanced at her indifferently.

Ly Tâm composed herself and took a deep breath. This was Tề Mặc's main point. He wasn't questioning her about this morning's incident, but asking why she was here at this time. Failure. In front of Tề Mặc, all the obedience and cleverness she had learned before were useless.

She immediately straightened her expression. "I'm here to deliver a message." As she spoke, she handed the paper she was holding to Tề Mặc.

Tề Mặc's eyes immediately narrowed, and a sharp aura slowly emanated from him. He didn't take the paper from her, a coldness rising in his eyes as he looked at her and said coldly, "Why are you delivering it? Where are Red Eagle and the others?"

Seeing Tề Mặc's expression change in an instant, as if he had sensed something, the coldness in his gaze so sharp it seemed to want to see through her, Ly Tâm coughed and said directly, "They didn't dare to give it to you, so they asked me to." A quick death is better than a slow one. She had been too cowardly just now, and now she was in a bad mood and didn't want to play games with Tề Mặc.

Hearing this, Tề Mặc's expression immediately darkened. In an instant, the entire room turned cold. The oppressive sharpness erupted in a flash. His already cold eyes were filled with an aura like a cornered beast, full of ferocity, hatred, and disgust.

Seeing this, Ly Tâm was greatly shocked. Tề Mặc must have guessed whose information was in her hand. But what did this mean? Tề Mặc's expression was terrifying. What on earth was this Khúc family, to make Tề Mặc's face so ugly, as if he wanted to eat someone? Ferocious, violent, furious.

"Get out." A voice so cold it had no warmth, mixed with a burgeoning, monstrous anger. Tề Mặc kept his head down, not looking at Ly Tâm.

Ly Tâm had never heard Tề Mặc speak to her like this. Seeing his fists clenched, the white of his knuckles, though silent, spoke of his rage. The murderous aura was already uncontrollably radiating from him. Ly Tâm was greatly shocked.

She quickly threw the paper onto the sofa in front of Tề Mặc. Without another word, she slipped out. Tề Mặc was furious, and she couldn't bear it. Besides, she was an obedient person. The boss had given an order, and she would obey.

Before her foot had even crossed the threshold, a loud bang from behind startled her. She quickly turned her head and saw that the coffee table in front of Tề Mặc had been shattered. A tempered glass coffee table, smashed to pieces by Tề Mặc's fist. Ly Tâm was horrified and slipped out of the room in a flash. Tề Mặc had gone mad.

Quickly slipping out the door, Ly Tâm ran headfirst into the people who had been standing outside. She looked up and saw Red Eagle, Hoàng Ưng, and the others were all there, all frowning tightly, looking like they wanted to go in but didn't dare.

Lập Hộ pulled Ly Tâm, who had bumped into him, aside. Hearing the sound of things breaking in the room, a continuous series of loud bangs, he couldn't help but shiver. He pulled Ly Tâm closer and whispered, "Did something go wrong?"

Ly Tâm stood up straight and shook her head slightly at Lập Hộ. "What do you mean?"

Hắc Ưng looked Ly Tâm up and down, frowning slightly. "The boss didn't hit you just now?" Although Ly Tâm appeared to have no injuries, he couldn't help but ask, given his vivid memory of the scene.

Ly Tâm was a little surprised. "No, he just said one word, 'get out.' What's going on?"

Hoàng Ưng exchanged a look with Red Eagle and said to Ly Tâm, "Seven years ago, Hắc Ưng delivered a message from the Khúc family to the boss once. The boss didn't say a word, just beat him until he was covered in injuries and broke his arm before throwing him out."

Hearing this, Ly Tâm felt no pity for Hắc Ưng. She glared at the group with a furious expression. "You guys are something else. Pushing a blind man off a cliff. Fine, fine, I'll remember this." She had only thought Tề Mặc might be in a bad mood, which was why Red Eagle and the others wouldn't deliver it. She hadn't expected it to be like this. Her skills were no match for Hắc Ưng's. If Tề Mặc had grabbed her and started beating her without a word, wouldn't she have been sacrificed here today? So vicious, so vicious.

Bạch Ưng saw Ly Tâm's angry face and said coldly, "You're alive and well now."

Lập Hộ also nodded. "We knew the boss treats you differently, that's why we let you go. Weren't we all waiting here? If we knew something was wrong inside, the few of us would have rushed in together. Even if we couldn't restrain the boss, it wouldn't have been too difficult to save you. Don't get involved for now."

When Tề Mặc got angry, he was reckless. To be able to restrain himself and let Ly Tâm get out was already a sign that he wouldn't hurt her. Lập Hộ and the others understood this, and probably Ly Tâm understood it in her heart as well.

Ly Tâm's anger subsided slightly. She knew that what Lập Hộ said was what the group was thinking. If they were really going to ignore her, there was no need for all five of them to be waiting outside. She calmed down a little. Hearing the sound of breaking things coming from inside through the door she hadn't closed, Ly Tâm couldn't help but whisper, "Who is this Khúc family? Why does the boss hate them so much?"

"The Khúc family is the boss's mother's family. The Khúc Vi mentioned on this paper is the boss's uncle. As for why the boss hates them so much, we don't know," Red Eagle said with a slight frown.

Hearing this, Ly Tâm couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Why was there no news of this in the underworld? She had no idea. The Khúc family, Tề Mặc's mother's family, relatives. This was something new. No one had ever said Tề Mặc had a maternal grandfather, grandmother, or uncle. It sounded so unreal.

She said, "With the boss's temper, only others endure him. He's not one to endure others. If he's unhappy with the Khúc family, he could just destroy them. I don't believe the boss has any family affection for them." Indeed, it was impossible to imagine what family affection meant to Tề Mặc.

Most of the elders of the previous generation of the Tề family had died at Tề Mặc's hands, which was how he was able to take this position. And the Khúc family was just his mother's family. With Tề Mặc's personality, if he was truly this angry and resentful, he would have destroyed them long ago. Why would he tolerate them until now? It was strange.
