Zhou Qi looked at his youngest son, tears streaming down his face, wailing miserably. He presented a tragic image of a family being forced into ruin.
Huo Yuhao watched coldly. This was the way of the world: the strong eat the weak, and the fittest survive. If he hadn't had some strength, he would have been lying dead in the streets the first time he met these people from the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce.
"Go to hell, you spineless coward!"
Zhu Shan had originally intended to grab the eldest of the three brothers, but for some reason, he suddenly took a few steps back, cursing angrily.Huo Yuhao smelled a pungent odor and looked around to see the eldest of the three brothers slumped on the ground, a large patch of the cement floor beneath him already wet. He had been scared to the point of wetting himself.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao grimaced, feeling utterly speechless. They say a tiger father begets no dog sons, and Zhou Qi was considered quite a figure, his cultivation reaching the Soul Douluo level. How could he have spawned such a useless son?
"Stop dawdling, quickly take care of it. Afterwards, arrange for people to go to their home and send this old guy's wives and concubines down to reunite with him."
Huo Yuhao waved his hand impatiently, a look of disgust on his face.
"Yes."Zhu Shan responded, drawing a long saber from who knows where, and slowly approached the three of them, a cruel expression on his face.
Zhou Qi's burly frame shuddered violently upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, then began to tremble uncontrollably. He feared death, but he feared even more for his family's safety. The Body Sect was giving them no way out.
Unfortunately, his soul power was sealed at this moment, making it impossible for him to fight to the death.
Moonlight streamed through the window into the woodshed, landing on the long saber, giving it an air of grimness.Watching Zhu Shan approach, and the chilling glint of his long saber, the eldest of the three brothers felt like he was facing not a man, but the soul-reaping Black and White Impermanence.
"Father, save me, save me, I don't want to die, Father, I still need to carry on the Zhou family line, Father!"
The eldest brother broke down, weeping and wailing, embodying the epitome of being greedy for life and afraid of death.
The second brother wasn't doing much better, sprawled on the ground, his whole body trembling, his heart filled with endless fear.He suddenly felt dazed, remembering the common people he had once oppressed, who faced him with the same despair and helplessness he felt now.
"My lord, please spare us! If you spare us, I'll give you anything you want. We'll be your slaves for the rest of our lives."
Hearing his son's voice, Zhou Qi felt as if his heart was being torn apart. For the sake of his family's lives, Zhou Qi lowered his proud head and knelt down.
"Wait!""Huo Yuhao raised his hand to stop Zhu Shan, who was about to act, then looked at Zhou Qi and asked, "Did you just say you wanted to be my slave?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qi nodded frantically as if grasping at a lifeline, saying, "Yes, yes, we'll be your slaves, please spare my family."
"I crippled your son's legs, and you'll willingly work for me?" Huo Yuhao looked at Zhou Qi with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"This subordinate is willing to serve you with the utmost loyalty, and hopes you will give me a chance."
Zhou Qi could hear the loosening in Huo Yuhao's words and immediately seized the opportunity, knocking his forehead hard on the ground."To call himself a subordinate already, he's really eager. Huo Yuhao stared at him, remaining silent for several breaths, as if considering the matter. Zhou Qi didn't dare to look up. In just a dozen seconds, his back was soaked with sweat. He instinctively felt that the gaze of the young man before him was like a giant mountain, pressing down on him and making it difficult to breathe.
"Get up."
The cold voice entered his ears, and Zhou Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the lives of his entire family should be safe.In fact, before Huo Yuhao came, he had already planned to subdue Zhou Qi. He wanted to build his own power, and while financial resources weren't the most important thing, they were absolutely indispensable, and the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce was very suitable.
If he hadn't planned to subdue the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Qi and the others would have been corpses long ago. Why else would Huo Yuhao waste so much time talking to them?
Zhu Shan's eyes flickered slightly, and he also thought of this point. No wonder the young master had stated in his previous message that he should not kill them.I know you're resentful and unconvinced, but I don't care. Just remember, you only have one chance. If you dare to betray me, I will show no mercy. Don't blame me then for implicating the innocent and eradicating you completely.
"Yes, your subordinate is absolutely loyal."
Zhou Qi bowed slightly, adopting a humble posture.
"Your merchant guild will continue to develop. For now, I don't need you to do anything. If there's anything, I'll have someone notify you.""Also, keep your son in line. If I hear about them acting recklessly and abducting women again, heh."
Huo Yuhao didn't continue, but everyone could hear the coldness in his voice.
"Rest assured, sir, I will definitely discipline him properly, and such incidents will never happen again," Zhou Qi quickly stated.
Huo Yuhao said nothing more, opened a spatial gate in front of him, and stepped inside.
Watching Huo Yuhao disappear, Zhou Qi's tense body relaxed slightly, a close call, a near-death experience. He almost lost his life, and almost his entire family was buried by his own hands.Meanwhile, the spatial gate through which Huo Yuhao left also made Zhou Qi realize that this adult was not as simple as he had imagined. He had originally thought that Huo Yuhao was just a talented junior, and his subservience was only out of fear of the Body Sect behind him.
But now it seemed he might be wrong, he might have underestimated that young adult.
On the other side, Huo Yuhao returned to the hotel through the spatial gate. Back in his room, he had originally planned to spend the night on the sofa, but he was stunned when he looked at the bed, and then quickly smiled.On the heart-shaped bed, the Snow Empress lay on her left side, almost at the edge of the bed, leaving a large space on her right.
Huo Yuhao wasn't some emotionally stunted, clueless guy. Seeing this, how could he not understand what it meant? He chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Such a hypocritical woman."
He went to the bedside, took off his shoes, and then got into bed and under the covers. During this time, the Snow Empress didn't react at all, as if she were asleep.
Huo Yuhao moved towards the middle of the bed, then reached out and put his arm around the Snow Empress's waist, pulling the woman into his arms.He could clearly feel that the Snow Empress's body was a little stiff. Huo Yuhao knew that this should be the bottom line that the Snow Empress could currently accept, so he didn't make any excessive moves.
And so, he embraced the Snow Empress's soft, delicate body, inhaling her unique fragrance as he drifted off to sleep.
The Snow Empress's nose twitched slightly. After not detecting the scent of Bing'er or other women on the man, the corners of her mouth gently turned upwards, and she felt a hint of joy in her heart.
