Chapter 483 (2/2)

“Second Brother, how can you say that? Isn’t the reason I’m making so many friends for the sake of our Fang Clan?”

The other members of the Fang Clan’s upper echelon wore helpless looks as they watched the two brothers get into an increasingly heated argument. They were unwilling to get themselves involved in such internal strifes of the main branch.

Just then, the door of the meeting room was pushed open, and Fang Can walked in slowly with Fang Xingjian right behind her.

When Second Uncle Fang Yuehe turned to see Fang Can, he let out a cold snort and said, “Fang Can, why are you so late? Don’t you know the time for today’s gathering?”

“Haha,” Fang Xingjian’s voice rang out from behind Fang Can. “Second Uncle, we haven’t met for two years and you’re speaking with such confidence now.”

With Fang Xingjian’s appearance, the entire hall was filled with gasps. Most of the people looked at Fang Xingjian in disbelief like they were looking at a ghost.

A minority of the people did not recognize Fang Xingjian. However, after hearing about him from the people next to them, they also looked at this young man in great surprise and curiosity.

Third Uncle Fang Yueming was the first to shout out, “You rascal! You still dare to come back?” Fang Yueming’s expression was very cold as he said, “Back then, when Mother asked you to be Xingchen’s apostle, how could you dare to escape?! You’re extremely selfish and heartless! Do you know that because of the bloodline connection, the apostle Xingchen got later is much weaker in comparison?”

Hearing Third Uncle Fang Yueming’s words, Fang Xingjian smiled. His smile was extremely brutal as he looked at Third Uncle Fang Yueming like he was looking at a dead man.

He ignored his third uncle and turned to look in his second uncle’s direction.

Back then, Fang Yuehe had been the one who secretly let Fang Xingjian sneak away from the ancestral hall, giving him the chance to make his escape from Fang Clan. Otherwise, he would have become Fang Xingchen’s slave for life.

After he was kidnapped by Black Devil Caroline, he was told that his second uncle had done this to weaken Fang Xingchen’s power. It was so that Fang Yuehe himself would have a greater chance to fight for the position of clan head in the future.

However, regardless of whether what Caroline said was true, it was a fact that his second uncle had saved him.

Fang Xingjian said, “Second Uncle, I have returned today primarily for two reasons. Firstly, I want to take back my mother’s remains. Secondly, I want to ask Li Shuanghua why she killed my mother back then.”

Fang Xingjian’s words once again astonished everyone present, and it was as if their eyes were going to pop out. Neither Fang Xingjian’s second uncle nor his third uncle had expected Fang Xingjian to be so direct, saying such things before so many people.

Back then, it had been announced to the public that Fang Xingjian’s mother, Fang Yueru, had died of difficult labor. So, Fang Xingjian’s words immediately caused a commotion to break out in the meeting room.

Many eyes lit up. The people seemed to be gloating over the misfortune of others and were waiting to watch a good show. When these people from the side branch saw this drama breaking out amongst the people from the main branch, they were more than happy to watch the action.

Second Uncle Fang Yuehe frowned. There seemed to be a deep sense of loneliness in his eyes. “Xingjian, I know that you’re feeling very bitter about these matters, but this isn’t how you should be doing things.”

Fang Yuehe then let out a long sigh, “You shouldn’t have came back.”

“You little rascal! Since when did you get the rights to utter nonsense here?!” Third Uncle Fang Yueming let out a cold snort and said, “Seize him!” Fang Yueming then turned toward Second Uncle Fang Yuehe and said, “Second Brother, regarding the matter of you letting Xingjian go, i’ll slowly settle the score with you when Mother is back.”

Over ten Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers charged in, all of them pointing their electromagnetic rifles at Fang Xingjian. Then two people stepped forth to seize Fang Xingjian.

Through the strong killing intent which those Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers exuded, Fang Xingjian knew that they would really shoot the moment he made any movements.
