Along the way, Pei Guang had shown Firefly countless amazing abilities.
If those abilities were something only Pei Guang could do, then this act of telling the truth in front of others and having them happily see them off is truly not something an ordinary person can do.
He told the Family members that they were going to lay hands on the patriarch, yet they still saw them off? Although there was other power assisting, this feeling of doing evil right in front of others and having them thank you for it was certainly a bit miraculous.
Firefly: "I didn't expect... it actually worked?"
Pei Guang confirmed: "That's natural. You know that we have sufficient Affinity, plus Xipe Cake is helping to hide our traces of crime. As long as they can't determine it was us who did it, their Affinity towards us won't change at all. So naturally, whatever we want to do, they'll help us, right? I'm not boasting, but after we finish, they'll probably escort us out."
While 'complaining', Pei Guang followed the directions from the Family members.
Under continuous welcomes and guidance, Pei Guang and Firefly found the patriarch of the Iris Family very smoothly.
This patriarch was also a little surprised by Pei Guang's arrival.
The King of Trash... when she first received this information, she was skeptical. It wasn't until just now, after Family members turned into Trash Cans, and even a giant Trash Can helped the Family defeat the Stellaron Hunters, that her attitude towards Pei Guang, this newly joined Family, changed.
As a member of Harmony, she naturally hoped that more powerful factions would join Harmony and Penacony. This was good for both Harmony and Penacony.
It was precisely for this reason that she was naturally welcoming when she learned that Pei Guang was coming.
Seeing the appearance of Pei Guang and Firefly, she politely greeted them. After greeting them, she posed a question to Pei Guang.
"Hello, King of Trash, may I ask what brings you to me?"
Looking at the patriarch of the Iris Family in front of him, Pei Guang originally planned to take her out with a single stab, but after some thought, he felt that taking them out one by one was too troublesome.
What if the buff Xipe Cake gave him wore off along the way, causing the Family to go on full alert? That would make the killing too difficult.
It would be better to try to see if he could gather all the patriarchs together.
He would try it first.
If it worked, sending them off together would save time and effort. If it failed, there would be no impact, so no big deal.
With this thought, Pei Guang presented his idea to the patriarch of the Iris Family in front of him: "It's like this, I have a very important matter that I want to discuss jointly with all of your patriarchs. I wonder if you could call the other patriarchs here? It concerns Sunday, the Charmony Festival, and matters important to Harmony."
"Hmm?"
This sentence stunned the patriarch. Although she was also a patriarch, she couldn't figure out why Pei Guang was looking for her.
Sensing the other party's unusual emotional state, Pei Guang explained directly: "Because you were closest to me, I came to find you. Besides, I don't have your contact information. Otherwise, I would have just called you all together."
"Harmony?"
The patriarch of the Iris Family frowned and activated the power of Harmony to gauge the truthfulness of Pei Guang's words.
It would have been better if she hadn't sensed it; once she did, she was completely stunned.
What was going on with this new patriarch in front of her? Why did he possess such powerful Harmony? More importantly, why did this Harmony power seem a little different from the Harmony she possessed?
Sensing it more closely, this Harmony... seemed fine? Furthermore, when she experienced this power more deeply, she actually saw Xipe!
Wait? This Xipe... why did it look so small and cute? Although it still had three faces, why did it look like a dessert? And why was it barking on a table?
She was dumbfounded. She could confirm that the other party was using the power of Harmony, without a single mistake, and the purity was ridiculously high.
But why did this Harmony seem... a bit wrong?
Recalling what Pei Guang had said earlier, and considering the upcoming Charmony Festival and the sudden death of Sunday, her expression became solemn.
"I understand. I will go notify the other patriarchs to come immediately..."
While the Iris Family patriarch was notifying the other patriarchs to come for a meeting, the two people chatting outside continued their conversation.
The forgetful Tired Family Member: "I didn't expect to see the King of Trash in person. He is truly humorous and interesting~ But speaking of which, do you think he'll really give the patriarch a stab?"
Hound: "I think it's possible. This person clearly looks like the free-spirited, do-whatever-they-want type. But hey, you don't really die in the Dreamscape. Even if he stabs her, the patriarchs will just watch with a smile.
In the Dreamscape, under the protection of Harmony, the patriarchs are invincible. Tsk~ Those few Stellaron Hunters were lucky not to have encountered the patriarchs. If they had, any one of the patriarchs could have easily dealt with them."
Compared to ordinary people, the patriarchs of the various Families have a greater tolerance, and due to the creation of the Dreamscape, even attacks within the Dreamscape will not affect reality.
At the same time, as high-level members of the Family, they also possess more powerful Harmony.
Even though it is called Harmony, there is a hierarchy within the Family.
Ordinary members like them have the weakest power, while the patriarchs, although not reaching the level of an Emanator, have very strong control within this Dreamscape.
While they can't defeat an Emanator in reality, it's no exaggeration that the patriarchs of the various Families still have the ability to force these troublemakers out of the Dreamscape.
As they chatted, they received a message from Harmony through its power.
"Excluding the patriarch of the Oak Family, the patriarchs of the other Families will soon arrive at the Iris Family's location for a meeting. Hounds, prepare for security duty."
The Bloodhound Family is primarily responsible for violent matters in Penacony.
Because a patriarch had just been victimized, the Bloodhound patriarch ordered his Family members to provide security for this temporary meeting.
A Hound's nose is very keen. The Bloodhound patriarch believed that with so many Hounds present, if the mastermind controlling Something Unto Death truly intended to do anything, they would absolutely be discovered.
If they weren't discovered, it could only prove one thing: there was a mole within the Family!
The Hound who received the message prepared for work, as he was one of the Hounds closest to the meeting location, so naturally, he had to take on the security job.
Soon, however, he wouldn't need to work, because he received a message through Harmony that shocked all Family members: less than five minutes after the meeting began, all the patriarchs were assassinated and killed.
At the same time, the Dreammaster who received this information was also stunned.
What happened? Why did all the patriarchs suddenly die? Although he was the Dreammaster, he wasn't keeping an eye on the patriarchs twenty-four hours a day, and with Sunday's sudden 'death,' he needed to take over Sunday's work.
And now, just as he was temporarily taking over Sunday's work, all the other patriarchs died? And they all died together? Did they all go to the depths of Penacony? Were those guys insane?
All the patriarchs are dead. It really is a case of a Family that must be neat and tidy, isn't it?
