Chapter 682 - Justice and Equity (1/2)

“Of course, the Bai family can’t stand up to me!”

As the Bai Family members were in deep consideration over Bai Yuquan’s words, a cold, piercing voice suddenly interrupted the silence. Then, everyone saw a shadow flitting in from the entrance of the main hall. It moved rapidly, leaving a trail of afterimages behind as it made its way to the center of the main hall like a ghost.

When the figure stopped, the Bai family finally had a good look at the intruder.

He had fair and unblemished skin, deep black eyes, and delicate facial features. He was wearing a white T-shirt paired with black slim-fit pants and a pair of white sneakers. His sleek and smart looks gave him a fair bearing, but he emanated an evil aura.

Xiao Luo?

All Bai family members turned pale with shock. None of them had expected that the man they were after would show up in front of them out of nowhere. Who could even explain how he mysteriously flashed into the hall like a ghost in the night? He appeared without a sound, and that sent cold shivers down their spines.

Swoosh!

Bai Ying reacted quickly. He instantly whipped out the pistol from his waist and aimed it at Xiao Luo. “Raise your hands! Do it now, or I’ll shoot to kill!” he roared.

“Are you sure you can kill me with one shot?”

Xiao Luo clasped his hands behind his back and smiled mockingly. With a gun pointed at him, Xiao Luo’s calm and collected demeanor was unnerving.

Bai Ying was the commander of the North Huaxia Military Region, yet he still wavered despite having a gun in his hand. Looking at a file picture of Xiao Luo differed completely from seeing him in actual life, especially when he could remain so calm and fearless with a gun pointed in his face. Bai Ying broke out in a cold sweat.

“Father, please put down the gun!”

Bai Yuquan shouted to his father, Bai Ying. It was absolutely the last thing to do when confronting Xiao Luo.

Bai Ying was wavering and confused about what he should do. He glanced at Bai Guoxiong, hoping for his decision.

Thud!

Bai Guoxiong slammed the tip of his walking stick on the floor. “Put away your gun!”

He riveted his eyes on Xiao Luo and spoke in a rumbling, hoarse voice. There was no emotion in his flat, monotonous speech, for he was still the head of the Bai family and exuded a rare calmness that an ordinary person could not compare with.

“Yes, Father.”

It was a direct order from his father, and there was no reason for Bai Ying to disobey. He lowered his gun and returned it to its holster.

Xiao Luo laughed mockingly and said, “A wise choice!”

Yu Yasi and Bai Xuenan were shocked and glared at Xiao Luo. It particularly infuriated Bai Xuenan as she vividly recalled how severely Xiao Luo had assaulted her. It felt like it had only happened yesterday, and it was the first time in her life that someone had nearly beaten her to death. For that, she wanted Xiao Luo dead more than anyone else.

“Young man, you have excellent skills.”

Bai Guoxiong put forced a smile and said, “May I ask why you are visiting our Bai family so late at night?”

“Old Master, don’t be nervous. I’m only here to see my daughter, Su Xiaobei,” Xiao Luo said.

“Your daughter?”

Bai Xuenan said sarcastically, “What nonsense are you talking about? She’s my brother’s daughter and the apple of his eye. We are all very fond of her, so who do you think you are? You don’t deserve…”

THWACK!
