Chapter 23: The Game Tightens
Yin Estate is a battlefield of whispers and hidden swords. Trust is broken, and paranoia fills every corner of the camp. Adam survived this chaos because he knew he was the one pulling the strings.
< System Alert: New Mission Available: Turn Yin Hua's neighbors against him. >
< First Reward: Tier 3 Artifact – The Light of Shadow. >
Reward: 75 System Points for Warning. >
The leader's suspicion has increased. >
Adam tapped his chin thoughtfully. Cai Fan was Yin Hua's loyal confidant, a strong and calculating woman. If she could accuse her friend, it would undermine Yin Hua's weak character.
"Open, and we'll handle it," Adam whispered. Just look at his carefulness.
Adam began his work by planting the seed of disbelief. Late at night, he went to the servant's room where Kai Fan's belongings were kept. Using the Phantom Quill, he created a letter written in Yin Hua's unique handwriting.
The 4,444 messages are simple but dangerous:
"Kai Fan has been effective, but his honesty is not perfect. Be careful with him - he will act quickly."
Adamu placed the letter where Kai Fan would most likely see it, hiding the letter so that it would not be found.
< System Notification: Progress: 40%. The letter was successfully planted. >
days later, Adam saw Kai Fan from the shadows His expression changed from confusion to anger when he saw the note, his hands clasped together. Adam's smile deepened when he saw the doubt in his eyes.
That night, Adam added another layer to the deception. Posing as one of Yin Wei's men using the Mirage Seal, he approached Kai Fan at the training ground.
said in a weak and thoughtful voice, "Yin Hua doesn't trust you. "He has met with the Patriarch to discuss your replacement."
Kai The hunter's eyes narrowed. Do you expect me to believe the words of a deceiver?
Adam nodded his head indifferently. "Believe what you want. Don't be surprised when he hits you first."
< System Notification: Progress: 80%. Suspicion planted. >
That night, Kai Fan met Yin Hua in the Great Hall, his voice cracking with anger. "Is this the reward for your loyalty? By working behind my back?"
Yin Hua's face was confused. "What are you? talking about?"
Kai Fan put the letter on the table. "I found this. Are you willing to accept an explanation?"
The next argument is a real argument of Adam's work. Their previous connection with the assembled servants and guards was broken, and Yin Hua's strength was exhausted.

The Yin family was consumed by itself, and he hadn't even begun to play his powerful cards.
