Chapter 1311: Mu Wanrou has gone crazy. (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Our child?” Mu Yazhe jested and rebuffed cruelly. “That’s not our child.”
She was thoroughly taken aback; the smile on her face froze, looking still and stiff.
“Right... That’s right... That’s not our child...”
She looked down, feeling ashamed suddenly. Once in a while, she would look up and carefully study his face. “That’s not our baby... You know it... since you’ve found out...”
With her face full of guilt, she ruffled her tousled hair helplessly. “That child belongs to me and Aaron... That’s right. That’s my and Aaron’s baby! Eh...
“You blame me, right?”
She jerked her head up, looking into his frigid expression as she spoke anxiously. “You blame me, right? You’re not wrong; I’ve betrayed you... Eh, I know. I shouldn’t have betrayed you... I hooked up with another man. Dirty... I also find myself dirty...”
With that, she started to rub her body vigorously.
The man remained cold and unmoved as he stared down at her.
Her voice started shaking and her speech turned erratic.
“That’s why... you are furious. You are mad at me... You blamed me for betraying you so you took my baby away, right?! I know I’m wrong now, and I shouldn’t have done that! I shouldn’t have betrayed you; I shouldn’t have poisoned grandpa; I shouldn’t have snatched Yun Shishi’s jade. Eh... That’s because the piece of jade is so pretty and I like it. Still, I shouldn’t have taken it...”
She grabbed the iron bars again and stared at him with wide eyes.
“Worse. I shouldn’t have tried to get rid of her and your son... Yeah, so you’re furious! Can you not be angry anymore? Forgive me and return my child to me. I know I’m wrong...”
The man kept quiet.
She became agitated and reached out her hand desperately in his direction.
“Ah Zhe, is the baby with you? Have you hidden my child? Return my baby; can you return my baby, please?!”
She continued muttering about her baby.
The man asked without turning his head, “Where’s the baby?”
The nurse replied, “She just had a miscarriage; the baby is gone.”
“The baby is gone?!”
Her words had indubitably provoked Mu Wanrou!
The moment she heard the nurse’s reply, she reacted like an ignited explosive; her hands grabbed and pulled the iron bars madly!

“You lied! You’re a liar; my baby is still alive! He’s still alive! Return my kid to me; return him to me! Ahhh!”
The shrill scream echoed and tore through the long corridor!
She screamed with all her might, howling and yelling crazily. Her face color had turned maroon from extreme agitation and anger.
“Return my baby to me; return him to me!
“Mu Yazhe, you harmed my child; it’s you! Return my child to me; if not, I won’t let you off—ever!”
Min Yu was furious and rebuked her, “You’re a mad dog! Don’t go around biting others.”
The nurse on duty hurried over and ordered everyone to step back so she could open the door. Mu Wanrou was about to dash out when the nurse held up a bolster and coaxed her gently. “Your child is here!”
“?”
“Your child is here; look, he’s here!” The nurse continued to cajole, attempting to soothe her agitation.

Mu Wanrou regained her senses and turned around dazedly, her gaze falling on the pillow in the nurse’s embrace.
It was just a soft, white pillow.
Still, her eyes widened at the sight. She ecstatically pounced on the nurse and snatched the pillow away from her embrace.
“Child, my child; my baby...”
The moment she hugged the pillow, she instantly drew in her claws. A tender and motherly look surfaced on her face, and she appeared more docile than ever.
“Baby... woo... woo... woo... Mommy misses you so much...”
The medical personnel behind her exchanged knowing glances. Clinching this opportunity, they rushed forward and efficiently injected her with a dose of sedative.
She trembled harshly for a moment before her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Her entire body then crumpled to the ground.
A few doctors and nurses lifted her onto the bed before leaving the room. They then proceeded to lock the door from the outside.
From start to finish, Mu Yazhe did not express any emotion on his face. All he did was stare coldly at the deranged woman, who was now still due to the effects of the sedative.
The pillow was still hugged tightly to her chest, with no sign of her loosening her grip any time soon.
She had undoubtedly gone insane.
Initially, he had his doubts. He wondered if she might be pulling some tricks, trying to feign madness around him, but he was convinced now!
This woman had truly gone crazy!
Her situation seemed rather serious to boot!
Exactly what provocation did she experience?
Min Yu responded to his suspicions. “According to the doctors, as the patient has been living in apprehension for a long time, it resulted in her experiencing a grave mental impediment the moment she received a severe trauma.”
When Mu Wanrou woke up that day, she learned that she had a miscarriage and had lost her baby. Her uterus was also removed.
This was a traumatic and grievous experience to her. She finally managed to conceive a baby, only to lose it in the end. Due to this, she began to have self-harm tendencies.
After leaving the operating room, her condition became increasingly unstable. She would not stop calling out for her child, unable to accept the loss of her offspring.
She was pitiful yet also hateful!
The man turned around slowly as he planned to leave, only to spot a figure standing at the end of the hallway.
At the end of the hallway, Mu Lianjue stood with a cane in his hand as someone beside him supported him. His back was against the light; thus, his expression was indecipherable.

Mu Yazhe was stunned. His eyes began to turn chilly as they got filled with hatred. With his head held high, he took large strides toward him.
He stood determinedly in front of his fourth uncle and lowered his head coldly to look at him condescendingly; his face was as cold as ice!
“Fourth Mu!” His voice was so cold that it was as if he were trapped in an ice house.
The way he had addressed the middle-aged man directly clearly showed his intention not to give him any face!
The middle-aged man’s body jerked a little in response. He raised his head and looked at him.
In the next second, the younger man reached out viscously to wrap his strong and thick hand around the other’s throat fiercely. He could vaguely hear the frail groans of several of his joints.
Mu Lianjue was caught off guard by his rude gesture, and this caused him to drop his cane to the floor with a clatter.
Mu Yazhe gripped his throat and pushed him harshly against the wall!
The latter was unable to fight back. Subdued by his nephew’s hand, he backed away a few meters as his spine collided coldly against the wall, which resulted in a loud thud.

Before Mu Lianjue could react, he was held down by his nephew with one hand!
He heard the young chap calling him directly by his name without any honorifics! That way of addressing him was only for figures with seniority like Mu Linfeng!
Clearly, Mu Yazhe no longer planned to be merciful!
The moment the younger man saw him, he could not suppress the rage in his heart!
This middle-aged man had taken things too far!
What did he take him for?
Did he really believe that he could outplay him so brazenly just because he did not display his authority?!
What a joke!
Look at the shady business he had been up to behind his back!
The reason he had not executed him the first time around was due to his second uncle. He was too busy trying to find Youyou that he did not have the time and heart to deal with him!
Look at what he did, though?
He actually dared to deploy assassins after his seven-year-old boy!
Mu Wanrou had lost her mind from the trauma of losing her child!
What about him?
It seemed that this old man had also turned crazy!
With his throat being grasped tightly by his nephew, the veins on Mu Lianjue’s forehead began to show as all of his blood rushed to his head. Due to the suffocation, his eyeballs were close to popping out of his head!
“Mu... Yazhe... what... are you doing?!” He spat out the words intermittently and with much difficulty, glaring furiously at the young chap!
Did he not know that what he was doing was extremely disrespectful?!
Not only that, due to his seniority, he should have addressed him as ‘fourth uncle’, instead!
He was his elder, and his position in the Mu family was remarkable and well-respected, yet this young man dared to manhandle him by gripping his throat and directly address him as ‘Fourth Mu’ with so much rage. This was more than just being disrespectful. It was clear rebellion!
Who gave him that much guts to do so?
The younger man glowered at him coldly. His bloodshot eyes were filled with a murderous aura!
Mu Lianjue could see the terrifying intent to kill in his eyes!
It was truly a murderous spirit and was not simply just anger!
His heart began to tremble in nervousness and fear!
He had never seen such a horrifying look on Mu Yazhe’s face apart from his usual cool expression. It was like in the olden times where one would turn into a brutal sovereign king when infuriated. His sharp and cold eyes were like a vulture’s!
New novel chapters are published on Freewebn(o)vel.com.
“W-What are you doing?!”
He was terrified. His hands clasped the young man’s wrists tightly, and he began to pry his fingers open harshly.
Their family was linked in countless ways through illustrious backgrounds.
Its members were mostly sent to the military to serve when they were young. Just like him, his nephew had also been sent to the army; thus, both had been through harsh training!
One should not judge him by his old age. He still had a lot of strength!
Alas, Mu Yazhe was flourishing from his rage. It was as if all the strength from every part of his body had been channeled to the hand gripping his fourth uncle’s throat. No matter how much the latter struggled against him, using all his strength to loosen the former’s, it was all for naught!
The older man was beginning to feel suffocated as his eyelids started jumping wildly and his breathing became ragged. Unfortunately for him, his nephew merely continued to add more pressure to his grip. It seemed as if, within the next second, he would break his brittle throat into two!
“I’ve lost all my patience with you!” The younger chap let out an evil sneer. His eyes were like cold knives being carved painfully into the older one’s skin!

“Mu Lianjue, you deserve to die!”
As soon as he said that, he choked his throat more forcefully!
The older man could feel his head spinning following this. His throat was vulnerable and defenseless against the suffocating pain, which threatened to cut off his breath. It looked as if he would be crushed alive!
This fella is out to get me! He’s giving me no way out!
How heartless!
He’s so heartless to the point of strangling his fourth uncle here all for the sake of a woman and a b*st*rd son!
The senior could almost hear the joints in his throat cracking tightly!
“Cough, cough!”
Slowly, he began to lose his strength and could no longer struggle!
He’s crazy!
This is crazy!
He glanced at the young man, only to see that the latter had a look on him that he had never seen before.
Mu Yazhe looked cold and ruthless as his entire being gave off a deadly aura!
The young man stared down at him with cold, eerie, bloodshot eyes; the grudge he held could almost consume his uncle!
Min Yu caught up with his boss and was alarmed to witness this scene. He inadvertently realized the serious repercussions that might come out of this and tried to calm him down.
“Boss, what are you doing?!”
The man was in no mood to reply. He kept his unsympathetic eyes trained on his uncle’s face, which caused absolute hatred to shoot through the latter’s heart!
No...
I don’t wanna die...
I can’t die!
Mu Lianjue kicked his legs around frantically.
It was a hard kick on the man’s shin but it did not seem to affect the young man at all! Standing tall and erect, he did not barge from his cool stance.
His assistant got worried and tried to stop him!
He knew very well that, although this hospital was owned by the Mu Group, it still had links to the government, with it being a medical facility and all!
No matter how influential and powerful the Mu family was, news of murder would still be a great blow to the family’s reputation!
What the assistant could not fathom was the irrational behavior of his usually calm and level-headed boss. He would know better than to perform a vengeful act in a public place like this!
New novel chapters are published on Freewebn(o)vel.com.
Ming De Hospital might be a Mu Group subsidiary, but with so many spies from the state in this facility, it was not prudent of him to act now!
The assistant had assumed wrongly, though!
Since his boss had the guts to do this, he also had the means to suppress this affair!
He could very well murder his uncle in full view here in the hospital and still suppress any detrimental consequences!
The man was not afraid to kill. Besides, as the heir to the Mu family, he had his fair share of dark secrets on top of the glamor.
He could be so vicious because there was no fear in him at all!
He had the capability to get rid of his fourth uncle without a stir. If it was time for him to get ruthless, he could even go face-to-face against a powerhouse like Mu Linfeng without hesitation!
Nobody could do anything about that!
He glared coldly at his uncle before giving a disdainful snort!
Chapter 1315: Are you crazy?! Stop it!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Having wasted plenty of his chances and crossed plenty of his boundaries, the older man still dared to behave so blithely in front of him now.
He was well aware of the reasons behind his uncle’s calm and unhurried look. Being the fourth in Old Mu’s sons, he had a certain standing in their family so he naively assumed that his nephew would not dare do anything to him!
Seeing how Mu Lianjue’s breathing was getting shorter by the second while his flushed face began to sport bulging veins on the forehead, Min Yu started panicking and sweating profusely!
Is boss really going to kill him?
He, thus, braced himself and stepped forward to prevent such a thing from happening.
“Boss, calm down! Don’t get all fired up, lest it disrupt the harmony in the family!”
The man pushed him aside easily with one hand.
“Get lost!” Just when he was feeling helpless about the situation, he suddenly heard a loud roar from behind.
“Have you gone mad?! Stop it!”
The voice belonged to Mu Linfeng!
Mu Yazhe’s brows knitted slightly as he glanced sideways at the newcomer. As he got distracted, his fourth uncle exerted all his strength and managed to break free from his slightly loosened grip. He fell to the side, gasping and coughing heavily with his hands holding his throat.
“Cough, cough—cough, cough, cough—”
He had a ceaseless coughing fit, and when he looked up at his nephew, he could not help retreating away. It was as if he had just seen a ghost!
He was too old to fight him!
The younger man turned around, only to see his second uncle in a smart military uniform striding toward him.
The latter was different compared to others.
While he received military training in his youth, his uncle had been in the military since he was ten. In true sense, his entire life had been poured into power, and strictly speaking, he was the person who held true authority in the Mu family and had dealt with power for most of his life.
Having come this far, the Mu family naturally was no longer just wealthy from their businesses. The large household was capable of getting involved in the law sector and the underworld; naturally, the one representing law and justice was none other than the capital’s military leader, Mu Linfeng!

Coupled with the fact that his wife came from a notable background, not even he could underestimate the power in his hands!
Besides getting some prescribed medicine for his old ailments, the other purpose of his visit to this hospital today was to meet his brother whom he had made some prior arrangements.
Knowing his nephew’s unyielding character, he was certain that the former would not let his brother off lightly for crossing so many of his boundaries!
When things got settled down, he would definitely offend his fourth uncle and settle the score with him, be it using open or underhanded means!
The latter might even lose his life!
His second uncle cared for his brotherly ties, though.
It might be that he was no longer so full of vitality at this age; hence, he became a little more emotional and sentimental. Out of his worries, he requested for his brother to go abroad and lie low for some time, lest their nephew secretly deal with him.
Besides, he could also check on Mu Wanrou’s condition and find out more about it from the doctor at the hospital.
Never did he expect to witness this scene upon his arrival, though!
Chapter 1316: You are being disrespectful!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was all thanks to his timely appearance that he managed to stop his nephew!
Otherwise, he really did not dare to think of the consequences!
That earlier scene also let him, as a third party, have a taste of his nephew’s viciousness!
Mu Yazhe greeted him neutrally, “Second uncle, why are you here?”
“Crazy! Simply outrageous! Have you gone mad? What were you trying to do just then?”
“Nothing at all!” A derisive laugh vibrated from his throat. “Surely, it’s time now to settle some decade-long scores with a certain someone!”
“Preposterous!”
The latter’s reply exasperated Mu Linfeng. He suddenly paused mid-track of his words and surveyed his surroundings with a clear, warning look.
Naturally understanding that look, Min Yu immediately got rid of the people around and retreated himself.
There were only the three of them left in the corridor!
Now that there was no one else around, the older man glared sternly at his nephew. “No nonsense! Yazhe, he’s your fourth uncle—your elder! Is your action proper? No matter what he did wrong, he’s still your elder and what you did is simply disrespectful!”
The younger man’s face instantly turned cold. “What is it, second uncle? From your tone, I guess you’re trying get Fourth Mu exonerated!”
He rebuked, “Fourth Mu? Is that the way you should be addressing him given his seniority over you? You should address him as fourth uncle; don’t you forget your manners. You’re simply being disrespectful here!”
“Second uncle, you’re the one who’s unqualified to meddle in our feud!” The man scoffed, not giving his uncle a bit of face or an out this time at all!
Mu Linfeng almost fainted in anger at his arrogant tone!
“Do you still have any respect for your elders?!” He seethed almost ungracefully. “Remember this: He’s your senior! Regardless of his wrongdoings, you have no right to create havoc here; do you understand?!”
“Second uncle, are you getting yourself involved in this matter?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about! I won’t interfere with your actions, but you must get the seniority ranking clear! I don’t wish to see a repeat of the earlier scene!”
A smirk appeared on his nephew’s face as he gave him a meaningful glance. “It looks as if you’re bent on protecting him!”
His tone was somber and cold!
While he could not contain his anger, he noticed his nephew’s unfathomable gaze!

“Second uncle, aren’t you afraid that your actions will cause a dent in our relationship?”
With balled up fists, he took in a deep breath then said, “If the family lives in harmony, all affairs will prosper!”
As soon as he spoke, a cold derisive laugh burst out from his nephew!
It was as if what he had just said was a big joke to him!
“How ridiculous and sad your words are!”
The younger man’s eyes narrowed as he walked over to his uncle and leaned down slightly; his cold gaze landed on the latter’s face. “Harmony and prosperity, indeed!”
“You...”
Out of the blue, he remarked, “I’m sure you know what happened a decade ago!”
His second uncle’s face changed in an instant but very quickly regained its usual calmness. His brows furrowed as he shot his brother a complex look.
Chapter 1317: Pay back with his life!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What Mu Yazhe saw on his face utterly disappointed him!
He pressed on, “You know all the details of my father’s car accident and my mother’s death, don’t you?!”
His second uncle remained mum.
His face darkened at his silence. “What am I to you, then?! Am I nothing but a pawn?!”
“C-Calm down for a bit!”
“I’m being very calm now.”
The man shut his eyes, but when he finally opened them again, his chilling expression unnerved those present. “I’m at my calmest state!”
Seeing this, Mu Linfeng’s face turned pale with fear and he tried to give an explanation. “That car accident back then... If I had foreseen it, I would have certainly prevented it from happening, but... I only learned about it later!”
Alas, he only received an expressionless smirk in response from his nephew.
“Fourth brother did commit a foolish mistake, but it’s been over a decade; he’s put it behind him. Shouldn’t you do the same? Now that you have the entire Mu Group in your hands, why bother with the past? So many years have passed; you should be hung up on it and let this matter begone!”
Mu Yazhe could not help bursting into laughter.
“Begone?”
How could a decade-long enmity simply be begone?!
He snorted coldly. “Sure!”
His reply left his uncle gaping at him, but then he proceeded to add, “If you want to let it begone, just pay it back in blood!”
With that, he simply turned and took off!
Mu Linfeng was left standing in the same spot in a daze. He understood what his nephew meant!
He wanted to use his fourth uncle’s life to clear this debt!

With an ashen face and a trembling body in fear, Mu Lianjue got up to his feet. “Second brother...”
“Lianjue, look at what you’ve done! Why did you do such a foolish thing back then?!” The older brother glared at the younger one in disappointment and fury.
Color drained from the latter’s face.
Prior to this, he would definitely laugh it off, saying, ‘Hmph! That lad won’t dare to do anything to me!’
However, after what had happened earlier, from his nephew’s eyes, he realized that he did have the intention to kill him!
Now, he no longer dared to say such a thing in any case!
“Don’t you understand why I did it in the first place, second brother? You’ve seen it for yourself; be it capability or skills, how was I inferior to Liancheng? In fact, I was better than him, but what decision did that old fogey make?! I should’ve been the Mu family’s heir, yet in the end, it was given to him! How indignant I was! What about you? Although you didn’t explicitly air your grievances, I’m sure you felt the same back then!”
He fell silent. In the dark corridor, two quinquagenarians stood across each other against the light with their faces hidden in the shadows.
“Second brother, I did it out of indignation! Ha ha! Don’t you know it, too? Liancheng had no ambition at all; why should the Mu Group be in his control? Would the company have survived the crisis if it had been put under him?! It was the company’s turning point at that time; it would’ve been finished if it had been handed over to him!”
Chapter 1318: Know when to stop!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Lianjue burst into a fit of violent coughs in his agitation before continuing to explain hoarsely. “I didn’t do it purely for my self-interest! It’s also for the sake of the Mu Group! I couldn’t just stand by and watch our family’s business empire become a wasteland overnight! It’s our blood, sweat, and tears! I couldn’t let him trample on it!”
“That’s enough!” As if completely drained, the Mu Linfeng let out a tired sigh. “I don’t wish to pursue that matter which is already over. Lianjue, you should stop what you’re doing, too!”
“Second brother, what should I do now? You can’t leave me alone!”
The sight of his brother made him sigh again. “I could tell that you are the most utilitarian and ambitious among us brothers when we were still young! I do admit and won’t deny that you have quite outstanding abilities among us! Those ridiculous things you did, though, are too much!”
His younger brother gritted his teeth in indignation. “I was young and indignant back then! I was indignant, so I wanted that old man to taste the pain of losing his loved ones one after another!”
“That’s enough—shut up!”
He took a moment to mull things over before suddenly instructing, “Later, I’ll send my men to protect you and arrange a flight to the US for you as soon as possible! Go lie low abroad for now. You can return to the country once the coast is clear!”
“I understand!”
Despite his indignation, the current situation left Mu Lianjue with no choice.
He had lost this battle with nothing left. Everything was over!
What he could do at the moment was to lie low abroad!
Mu Yazhe received a call from his second uncle when he was back in his office.
The older man cut to the chase once the call connected. “There’s something I want to tell you! I’m protecting Lianjue; if you still give me face, then don’t you touch him, lest it hurt the harmony in the family!”
Despite the firm and non-negotiable tone, it was rare for the older man to lower his pride before him.
After much consideration, he decided to ease the situation with his nephew.
His words left the young man scoffing, though. “Do you need to report your decision to me, second uncle?”
“Yazhe! You should know when to stop! Let bygones be bygones!”
“Hah.”
“I’m responsible for this matter, too! If I had known about your fourth uncle’s ambitions beforehand, I would’ve taken caution against him! You should know; I pay attention to the unity of the family and dislike engaging in division. I’m very sorry and sad about your father’s death! I, too, am furious and shocked about your fourth uncle, but some methods are simply too much and inhumane!”
“What is humane? Second uncle, are you talking about humanity with me in the Mu family?”
“...”
There was only the cold, unfeeling power struggle in their large family; what humanity was there to talk about?
New novel chapters are published on Freewebn(o)vel.com.
How ludicrous!
Only one would know best by personal experience.
Perhaps to his uncle, a simple apology could easily wrap up the matter of his father’s death; it was as if the matter would fly with the wind far away once he opened his mouth!
The rich had to lead their lives treading on thin ice.
Hell would be awaiting them as a result of a momentary slip!
There was simply no end to power struggles.
Even though he was well aware of it, he could never forget that pain.
The pain that had almost destroyed him.

Chapter 1319: No one can replace me!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Linfeng fell silent.
The dead silence lasted so long that Mu Yazhe moved to end the call. This was when he heard his uncle’s heavy and weak voice. “What will make you let him off?”
His voice suddenly dipped as he wiped off the smirk on his face and replied apathetically, “Let him off?”
“... Watch your tone! Is this the attitude you should have toward your elders? I’m your second uncle; don’t you be insufferably arrogant!”
His indifference antagonized his uncle a little, though. “Do me a favor here! At least, on the account of family ties, don’t be so ruthless! He’s your fourth uncle, after all; he shares the same blood as you!”
Unfortunately, he had completely lost his patience with the older man and only felt disgusted with his haughtiness.
He, thus, snorted. “You’ve apparently overestimated your position!”
“...”
On the other end, his second uncle was left flabbergasted.
Not in his wildest imagination did he expect the lad to have the guts to speak to him in such a way!
Back then, he would never talk back to him, an elder, like this!
In his daze, he heard his nephew’s ruthless words. “I’ll do no one any favor regarding this matter! My mind is set; if you still insist on protecting him from me, go ahead and give it a try!”
‘Go ahead and give it a try!’
How arrogant his spoken words were!
The older man flew into a rage as his fury surged irrepressibly from within. “Yazhe, you’ve gone overboard with your words! Don’t you forget who you relied on to get your current status and be the heir! Think again; who supported you to become the Mu’s family head? Without me, would you be where you are today? Dream on! If not for me, you would be down and out already. Don’t you forget that! I pushed you up to your current position! Hah! Now that you’ve become successful, are you intending to rebel against me and soar on your own?! You’ve become so arrogant that you’re unwilling to do me a favor now; is that so?!”
“Second uncle, don’t forget; I’ve paid you back what I’ve owed you all these years! Ha ha! You pushed me up?”
The cold smile on Mu Yazhe’s lips vanished and was replaced by the cold glint in his eyes, instead. “I must admire you, though, for making it sound so pompous when you’ve been making use of me! Yes, you did support me, but was it all your hard work? I don’t agree! Even with your support, not anyone could come so far like I did! Back then, no matter who you chose, that person could never make the same achievements!”
His uncle’s expression changed instantly to one of ruthlessness.
Pausing for a bit, he then sneered. “Besides, I’ve long paid you back in full for the help I’ve received from you all these years! Have you forgotten it all?! You couldn’t deal with all those dirty chores with your status! I did all those shady dealings on your behalf! What? Are you now discrediting my contributions with just a few words?”
His second uncle questioned harshly, “Then, what do you want to do now?!”
“This isn’t something you should be asking! If you insist on meddling with it, then don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”
Chapter 1320: I never regret what I do!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Enraged and stunned, Mu Linfeng was greatly taken aback by what he had said. For one, his nephew was outrightly audacious with him, and for another, his words carried an ominous warning!
He knew that the young chap did not intend to give him face anymore, so although he was incensed, he was worried at the same time.
He had spent much effort cultivating and grooming this young chap; now he was wondering how loyal was!
His nephew used to be respectful toward his elders!
No matter how ruthless, cold, and tyrannical he was, he had been respectful toward the family elders.
However, the old man could detect rebellion in his tone during the conversation.
Now, he was thinking if he should teach this chap a lesson!
With this thought in mind, he warned in return, “He he! You don’t bite off more than you can chew! Hmph. Rascal, are you out to challenge me?! Alright. Since you put it so bluntly, there’s nothing more for me to say! I’ll do my part to protect my man even as you plot your revenge! If I fail, then it’ll just go to show your capability, but let me warn you first as your second uncle: Terrible consequences will follow what you plan to do! Don’t you think you should consider your current predicament? You just took over the empire, and the family hasn’t fully succumbed to your authority yet. Aren’t you afraid your rash act may bring serious repercussions? Beware of losing your power when the family starts circulating unfavorable tales about you!”
“Second uncle, you should know me by now! What I’m going to do, no one can stop me. I’m thorough in the things I do; if not, I’d rather not do it! I think you shouldn’t waste your efforts! It won’t be nice if I embarrass you in any way.”
Since his uncle issued him a warning, then he would return the favor.
The older man said through gritted teeth, “You’ll regret this!”
He merely retorted coldly, “I never regret what I do; your concerns are uncalled for, second uncle!”
With that, he dropped the line.
