Chapter 118 Something's Wrong
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong remained silent, not daring to even breathe.
When the head of the Xiao family entered, he saw the mess in the courtyard and the miserable state of the second young master. How could he remain calm?
Shouldn't we tear Xiao Chen to pieces?
"Father...Father..." Young Master Xiao raised his head and called out weakly, his voice filled with humiliation.
This is his hope.
He hoped his elderly father could avenge him.
The head of the Xiao family had a grim expression. He stared at the second young master of the Xiao family for a while before his gaze shifted to the other three.
After glancing at Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong, his gaze fixed on Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen stood there calmly, meeting his gaze without expression or panic.
The oppressive aura emanating from the Xiao family patriarch grew increasingly intense, and it was directed at Xiao Chen.
But no matter how much pressure he applied, Xiao Chen remained unmoved, seemingly unaffected.
A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Xiao family patriarch. He walked up to the second young master of the Xiao family, squatted down, and checked on his condition.
"His tendons and veins were completely severed, and many bones throughout his body were shattered. How ruthless!" Even the Xiao family patriarch, who was used to all kinds of scenes, gasped in shock.
My son is completely ruined. He has no chance of learning martial arts again. Even if he is cured, he will be a cripple.
"Father... help me get revenge... I want him dead!!" Young Master Xiao pointed at Xiao Chen and said viciously.
The head of the Xiao family frowned, but did not show the expected anger.
He simply looked up at Xiao Chen and asked, "Did you do this?"
"I did it," Xiao Chen replied straightforwardly.
Things have already escalated to this point, and he has no intention of backing down anyway.
Even if Young Master Xiao dared to try to kill him, he wasn't one to swallow his anger.
At worst, we can just break away from Jiang City and become enemies.
He's used to it anyway.
He dared to be so unscrupulous because he knew that no matter how the trials here went, all the Xiao family members would still have the opportunity to test their bloodline at the main family, and that was the decisive factor.
Of course, there will be some impact, and it may cause obstacles, but he is not the useless person he was in his previous life who was stripped of everything, so he doesn't care.
"What is the reason?" the head of the Xiao family asked.
"It's simple. He sent the Xiao family steward to kill me, so I came back to retaliate in kind," Xiao Chen said indifferently.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong were terrified. How could this guy be so nonchalant? Wasn't he afraid the patriarch would slap him to death?
Simply invincible.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Xiao family's expression hardened.
"So... you met with Zhang Benquan?" He stared at Xiao Chen.
"You're not going to say that you killed Zhang Benquan and the others, are you?"
The head of the Xiao family observed Xiao Chen's every move with keen eyes.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong were also startled and stunned.
Yes, how come Xiao Chen was able to appear here unharmed...?
Did he really kill all those people?
Everyone has witnessed how strong those people are.
That can't be...
The head of the Xiao family awaited Xiao Chen's answer, his heart far from calm.
Zhang Benquan is an A-level Lightbringer of the Illuminati!
In terms of strength, she is no less than him.
In addition, there were two other beings of the same level and about twenty Illuminati elites.
Xiao Chen was merely a trial disciple of the Xiao family, from the South City branch, the weakest branch that had lost its lineage.
The higher-ups in the Xiao family all knew that he was hiding his strength, but no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly have reached that level.
There are probably no more than a handful of people in the entire Jiang City with this kind of strength.
Which one of them isn't a martial arts master who has been famous for many years?
"A master must have intervened, but the reason is unknown." Xiao Chen did not admit it, instead bringing up the mysterious master.
"What kind of expert?" the Xiao family patriarch pressed.
Xiao Chen casually said a few words, using his masked appearance that night when he broke into the Xiao family as an excuse.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Xiao family became extremely serious, his brows furrowed in deep thought.
"Who exactly is that person? He broke into the Xiao family home at night to kill someone, yet he also came to the rescue of my Xiao family members... What is his purpose?"
"Dad... what are you thinking about? Hurry up and kill him! He crippled me!" Young Master Xiao was getting impatient when he saw that his father was not making a move against Xiao Chen, and interrupted him, shouting.
The head of the Xiao family glanced at him impatiently.
"Shut up! You good-for-nothing!" the Xiao family patriarch roared.
"You were arrogant and domineering, sending people to deal with others. Now you've been retaliated against in kind. It's your own fault!"
Young Master Xiao stared blankly at his father in disbelief.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong were also stunned.
What... is going on?
Young Master Xiao is the son of the family head...
Even though he was crippled, the patriarch didn't get angry or punish Xiao Chen at all. Instead, he scolded and berated him.
The two exchanged a glance, looked at each other, and a ridiculous idea popped into their minds.
Could it be that Xiao Chen is actually the patriarch's biological son?
Xiao Chen himself raised an eyebrow, looking at the father and son with suspicion.
Not right.
"Father...you...you are my father!" Young Master Xiao was stunned for a long time before shouting out indignantly.
He couldn't understand it, he just couldn't understand it at all.
How could someone say such heartless things?
Young Master Xiao, in a moment of despair, bulged his eyes and quickly fainted.
"You two are not allowed to utter a single word about what happened today, or your lives will be in danger." The Xiao family patriarch swept his gaze over Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong with an air of authority.
The two were stunned, and under that stern gaze, they could only nod repeatedly.
"Rest assured, Master, we two will keep our mouths shut and will not reveal a single word!"
What happened today is beyond their comprehension, but they are smart people, and protecting themselves is the wisest course of action.
"Carry him up and come with me," the Xiao family patriarch ordered.
"You come too." He glanced at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen remained calm and followed.
Anyway, he had nothing to worry about or be afraid of.
They followed the head of the Xiao family through two courtyards and headed straight into the depths of the Xiao family compound.
That was where the Xiao family's top brass discussed confidential matters.
On the surface, there were guards here, but Xiao Chen knew that there were also some people and traps hidden in the shadows.
Just as Xiao Chen had seen when he first came to the Xiao family, the layout of the mechanisms here was even more ingenious, unlike anything from this era.
The head of the Xiao family remained silent and led them into the council hall.
At his instruction, Young Master Xiao was placed on the floor in the center, without anything to cushion him.
"You two go back," he said.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong dared not disobey and walked out tremblingly, led by someone.
"Don't wander around, or you'll lose your life," the patriarch warned.
"Pass down the word: have everyone outside return, and have all core members come to the council chamber," he ordered sternly.
"Let's invite the old man over too..."
