Chapter 45 (1/2)
Seeing Ling Tian bring the doc.u.ment with his seal of family head away, Xiao FengHan felt extremely at peace with himself! Because there was no shame in him losing! Know yourself and know thy enemy, only then can you emerge victorious! In the battle just now, it was his opponent that had understood him completely, even his temper and innate disposition, to the point where he could predict every single reaction he would make based on that. However, he was absolutely clueless about his opponent! Thus when his opponent had already come knocking, he still arrogantly chose to underestimate him!
With deep thoughts and meticulous planning, coupled with an arrogant opponent who had let down his guard, if one still could not win, that would be the biggest joke on earth!
A strip of black shadow noiselessly appeared behind Xiao FengHan at this time. Xiao FengHan did not turn back, but rather, let out a bitter laugh, ”The matters just now, you saw them all, right?”
The black shadow was a skinny middle-aged man. Upon hearing Xiao FengHan speak, he merely nodded his head slightly, refraining from talking.
Xiao FengHan laughed mockingly at himself, ”Do you find me laughable?”
With a serious expression, the black shadow replied, ”This child, no matter his wisdom or shrewdness, all are beyond ordinary. He is definitely a rare genius.”
Xiao FengHan could only sigh, saying, ”That’s right, this old man feels this way as well. Today’s annulling of the marriage could be said to be a mistake of epic proportions. If we had been able to nurture this sort of person into an adult, then he could bring us a.s.sistance of unimaginable proportions! Ai, what a pity!”
The black shadow, however, muttered to himself irresolutely for a while before unhurriedly replying, ”I don’t see it this way.”
Xiao FengHan let out a cry of surprise, ”Oh?”
The black shadow continued, ”From the surface, Family Head, you have utterly lost! However, if we were to observe from a bigger point of view, it is indeed a cause to rejoice.”
Xiao FengHan seemed to have grasped hold of something, saying, ”Elaborate more.”
The black shadow said, ”From the immediate point, annulling the marriage and losing a genius; even being extorted and losing the military workshop and throwing a wrench in all our plans, it seems to be a thorough disaster. However, even though this plan was a failure, if we were to look at the long term effects, we have just avoided a danger that could potentially result in the Xiao family being annihilated!”
Xiao FengHan muttered to himself, ”Annihilated… annihilated…” His eyes suddenly lit up!
The black shadow unceasingly continued, ”For someone like him who is head and shoulders above all others since childhood, showing extraordinary talent, his actions would definitely be firm and ruthless without hesitation. How could such a person be willing to be shackled down, living under someone’s rule? If the marriage problem remains unsolved, then if a problem were to occur, the Ling family would definitely stand with our family, and this sort of person would definitely become the nucleus of our great army. After a long while, given the intellect and stratagems of such a person, hahaha…” The black shadow did not continue after saying this point, only using his laughter to complete the sentence.
