"Ah, Huangfu Meigui, I will grind your bones to dust, I will tear you apart, and offer your blood as a sacrifice to the spirit of my son in heaven. I will kill you..."
In the Deep Water Bay Villa, a roar filled with hatred resounded as Zhao Quan violently rose from the sofa. His eyes nearly bursting, he stared at the image of his son covered in blood, his eyes still open in death, and let out roar after roar, furiously throwing his phone to the ground where it shattered into pieces.
A towering hatred and an unmistakable intent to kill burst forth from Zhao Quan.
"Huangfu Meigui, you have gone too far. I will not rest until you are dead. Even if it means employing the entire power of the Zhao Family, I will tear you to pieces..."
Zhao Quan, like a wild beast, roared as he wildly smashed the objects in the living room. Priceless vases worth millions were smashed into powder by his hands, and his roars continued to echo through the hall, chilling to the bone.
"What’s wrong, Quan? What could possibly make you so furious? Did Zhao Lin anger you?"
Just then, Zhuge Ling, who had been sleeping in her pajamas, was awakened by the furious roars from the hall. She walked out from the bedroom and seeing the ruined hall, her face changed color and a foreboding feeling suddenly surged within her.
"He’s dead, my son is dead. He was mutilated by Huangfu Meigui right in front of me. I hate, oh how I hate it! Why didn’t I obliterate them last time? Why did I spare them? I hate this, I want revenge, I want to tear them apart, grind their bones to dust."
Zhao Quan howled with rage, his eyes blazing with a bone-deep hatred. He was determined to take revenge for Zhao Lin.
At this moment, Zhao Quan’s face was grotesquely twisted, his eyes blood-red, radiating intense resentment, which made one’s scalp tingle at just a glance.
Upon hearing Zhao Quan’s hysterical words, Zhuge Ling shuddered, disbelief appearing on her face. Zhao Lin was dead, gruesomely killed right before Zhao Quan’s eyes.
No wonder Zhao Quan was acting so delirious. Zhao Lin was his only son, and with Zhao Lin’s death, it meant the end of Zhao Quan’s lineage since he could no longer father any children, even though that thing still worked, it had lost its function to produce offspring.
His only son was dead, and as the ancients said, of the three unfilial acts, leaving no descendants is the greatest. No wonder Zhao Quan was mad, not to mention his son was killed within his own turf in Xiangjiang.
"Kill, Ling’er, I will kill them. Call immediately, gather everyone. I want to execute Huangfu Meigui by a thousand cuts,"
Zhao Quan gasped for breath, his gaze sinister as he looked at Zhuge Ling and bellowed loudly. He demanded that Huangfu Meigui pay with blood for this blood debt.
"Quan, you need to calm down, you have to calm down. Do you realize that the more impulsive you are, the faster the Zhao Family will fall? Now, more than ever, you need to stay composed," Zhuge Ling said gravely as she watched Zhao Quan, who was consumed by madness, a flash of sorrow in her eyes.
"Calm? I can’t be calm, my only son is dead, he was slaughtered right before my eyes, I will kill her, I will have them all slaughtered..."
Zhao Quan didn’t finish his sentence when Zhuge Ling slapped him across the face, saying loudly, "Zhao Quan, calm yourself. Do you think you can take revenge now? If Huangfu Meigui dared to kill your son right in front of you, do you think she would be afraid of you? Not have any countermeasures? Calm down. I know Zhao Lin’s death pains you, but this is no excuse to lose your mind. We can take revenge, but we need to plan carefully. Huangfu Meigui is the overlord of Modu’s underground forces. We need to find an appropriate strategy to take her down. Then, not only can we avenge Zhao Lin, but we can also take control of the power of the Rose Society in Modu. Wake up, Zhao Quan. More than ever, you need to be clear-headed. This is how we will take our revenge. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing Zhuge Ling’s words, Zhao Quan remained silent, just gasping for air with a clear handprint on his cheek, clearly showing that Zhuge Ling had not held back.
After a long while, Zhao Quan sat on the sofa, panting heavily, his eyes frightfully bloodshot as he spoke with a chilling voice, "Ling’er, thank you. I was too reckless. You’re right, now is not the time to take on Huangfu Meigui head-to-head. Our priority is to stabilize the rest of the Zhao Family. Inform those people to come here; we’ll have a meeting tomorrow morning. Anyone who dares not show up will have me to answer to, and I will erase them at all costs."
Zhao Quan’s eyes flickered with a cold gleam, his demeanor resembling a venomous snake. Originally, he had intended to gradually consolidate the power of the Zhao Family, but now that his son was dead, he couldn’t wait that long. After tomorrow, he wanted only one voice left in the Zhao Family—his own, Zhao Quan’s. Any dissenter would be shown no mercy.
"No problem, I’ll go arrange it right now."
Zhuge Ling nodded gravely. The plan was nearly in place, and though taking control of the council of elders would be costly, they could afford it now. They had intended to slowly turn up the heat, but there was no time left for that.
Just as Zhuge Ling was about to leave, her mobile phone suddenly rang with an urgent tone. Frowning, she glanced at the caller ID and answered immediately, "What’s happened, what’s going on?"
"Sister Ling, is the boss with you? I can’t reach him. Something big has happened. The police have suddenly made a move against our forces, starting a massive crackdown. Many of our brothers have been arrested. Sister Ling, what should we do now? I heard it was Huang Yuanzheng himself who gave the order; you better tell the boss quickly, things are starting to get chaotic down here."
The voice on the phone was extremely urgent, and indistinct chaotic noises could be heard in the background.
Hearing this, Zhuge Ling’s expression changed drastically. When it rains, it pours, she thought, never expecting that the Huang Family would take such decisive and abrupt action against the Zhao Family.
"I know, tell the brothers down there to hold their ground and remember, under no circumstances, without my order, is anyone to clash with the Huang Family. Anyone who dares to act against them without permission will have me to answer to. Understood?" Zhuge Ling spoke rapidly, her face growing grim.
Truth be told, the Zhao Family wasn’t necessarily afraid of the Huang Family. If it really came to a fight, it would surely be mutually destructive. Yet, she hadn’t anticipated the Huang Family’s move would be so swift, without even a hint of warning before they took action, leaving her somewhat
