Vol 2 Chapter 33.2 (2/2)

Defending against an internal thief was indeed hard. Since the counterpart had managed to get hold of an insider, the other clans would naturally not act easily.

He Yitian faintly shook his head and suddenly said, “Elder Yuan, there is something my humble self would like to consult you with.”

A sinister glint flickered in Yuan Zewei’s eyes. However, since he knew that He Yitian was the son of He Quanxin, who was a peak tenth layer expert, he wouldn’t dare be rude no matter what and could only cup his hands distantly, “Mr. He may ask.”

He Yitian gulped down the entire wine gla.s.s on the table before him and said, “Elder Yuan, if I haven’t understood wrong, you have an agreement with Fan family. If you can transfer the shops under the name of Fan family, they would return them back to you in the future, am I right?”

Yuan Zewei hesitated a bit but ultimately chose to preserve silence. However, his appearance gave a tacit approval.

He Yitian let out a long sigh and said, “You’re an elderly person who has lived for eighty years. Don’t tell me you truly believe in Fan family’s words? Perhaps Fan family has left something in your safekeeping which has convinced you that they will certainly keep their promise after getting the shops and farmlands?”

He Quanxin and He Yiming exchanged a glance; both sighing inwardly incessantly.

They had wholeheartedly immersed themselves in cultivation. As such, they were unavoidably somewhat lacking in other aspects.

He Yitian could figure out the crux of the issue with such clarity and had further articulated it in such a manner, while they could only be his support.

Yuan Zewei’s face turned red and green at the same time. However, the youngster behind him rushed out and said, “We naturally trust in brother-in-law’s words. You don’t have to sow dissension.”

He Yitian chuckled, not retorting. However, he superficially glanced at that youngster- implying an extreme contempt which even an idiot could discern.

That youngster immediately turned furious and took a big step forward, “He Yitian…..Mr. He Yitian, your esteemed is said to be a tenth layer expert whom I don’t dare. But…what about you? I wonder if you can offer some guidance?”

He Yitian’s eyes sharpened. An aura far exceeding that of the former erupted.

His figure arrived before the former like lightning like and waved his hand, slapping him at lightning fast speed.

“Pa…”

Four slaps in quick succession turned that youngster into a sorry state. He opened his mouth, spurting a streak of blood, which further contained a good number of teeth.

Only at this moment, did that individual finally react. His eyes turned red, wis.h.i.+ng to stake his life against He Yitian. However, He Yitian had already returned to his original position, not even sparing a glance for his reaction.

Yuan Zewei’s complexion slightly changed. He supported the youngster and said, “A fine skill. Sure enough, a son of a lion can’t be a dog. We’ve experienced the skill of He family’s big young master.”

That youngster wished to say something but was pulled back. Some people immediately stepped forward and forcibly dragged him away to treat his injuries.

Yuan Zewei’s eyes shone with a cold glint as he slowly said, “Second, back in the day, if you’d not managed to entice father with your glib tongue, how could he have given you the position of clan leader. Hehe, you became the clan leader, but what could I, the elder brother, be a.s.signed as? The only reason you a.s.signed me to manage the shops was to avoid denouncement from the people for being too ruthless.”

Yuan Zeyu faintly shook his head and said with a sigh, “Elder brother, the only reason father pa.s.sed on the position of clan leader to me was that you are too petty minded. He feared that if the position of clan leader was pa.s.sed on to you, you would end up bringing down the entire clan.”

Yuan Zewei suddenly laughed loudly and said, “Second, no need to speak old matters. Whatever the reason was, it no longer matters. Who will ultimately obtain the authority in Yuan family…..will depend on our individual strength.”

After saying these words, he waved his hand. The people on the subsequent seats arrived behind his body, escorting him out.

Yuan Zeyu’s complexion had turned extremely gloomy. He suddenly said in a loud voice, “Yuan Zewei, even if you ultimately win, do you actually believe that Fan Shui will leave Yuan family in your hands.”

Yuan Zewei’s footsteps paused; his voice extremely gloomy, as if his heart and lungs had frozen.

“Yuan family was originally mine. If I can’t get it, other members of Yuan family also shouldn’t imagine to do so…”
