"Elder Nangong, how is it? Is the news reliable?" Wang Dong was comfortably lounging in a bar with a group of people, arm candy on both sides, and looking very pleased as he faced an elder from the Nangong family.
Although he didn't know why Elder Nangong would suddenly bring them here for a good time, it was clear that Nangong Huowu had succeeded.
As long as Lin Xiao was dead, he could return to Shashi with his men and reclaim control of the Tiianhui. A mere ten billion? That was nothing to him; he could rake in as much as he wanted!
"Yes."
The Third Elder of the Nangong family frowned slightly. He didn't have a good impression of Wang Dong and glanced at the bar. He disliked this kind of place, at least, he hated spending time in such an establishment.
"That's great, I must thank Elder Nangong... Later, I'll need Elder Nangong to introduce me to the Patriarch." Wang Dong chuckled. If he truly obtained the 'Overbearing True Qi,' wouldn't the Nangong family reward him?
Just as he was thinking, the Third Elder waved his hand.
A cold glint flashed in the dim bar.
The next second, Wang Dong and the others collapsed on the ground.
The Third Elder looked at Wang Dong on the ground with disdain.
"Still want to see the Patriarch?"
After speaking, he got up. The women who had been accompanying Wang Dong followed the Third Elder and left the bar.
...
"It's done."
Ye Chen walked out, lowering his head as he spoke to Lin Xiao.
"Mm, the bodies, send them back to the Nangong family," Lin Xiao said. "Put them in the coffins we bought earlier."
"Yes."
Ye Chen quickly nodded.
Before returning, he knew very well that the Nangong family had played a role behind the scenes in the incident that year. However, the Nangong family was too deeply involved now. For the stability of the Dragon Country and various factions, he didn't want to move against them for the time being. But a warning was necessary for the Nangong family to know.
Such prominent families had existed in the Dragon Country for far too long... They needed a good lesson.
After Ye Chen left, a flash of killing intent flickered in Lin Xiao's eyes.
A thick, baleful aura also surged from him, but he suppressed it in an instant.
If he could, he would raze the entire Nangong family to the ground right now!
But, thinking of national and familial duty...
This was not a chaotic era. He continuously told himself not to act rashly.
Then, Xun'er flashed in his mind. Thinking of Xun'er's smile, all his displeasure and anger were hidden deep within his heart. Xun'er was his little angel. For Xun'er and Qinghan, he didn't want to bring them any more trouble.
When he returned home, he was surprised to find that there were still quite a few people in the Luo family. The elder son's group, who had been driven out earlier, were all present.
To be precise, everyone except Luo Buwei's family was gathered in the living room on the first floor.
And as soon as he entered, Lin Xiao felt that the atmosphere was not right.
"Lin Xiao."
The Old Master sat on the sofa, leaning on his cane. He nodded at Lin Xiao and then impatiently said to his unpromising descendants, "You all should leave now."
"Dad, are we still your biological children?! Can't we even have what rightfully belongs to us now?"
