Chapter 204 (2/2)

“Yes, it’s all because of Tang Xiu. Had it been me or someone else, we simply wouldn’t be able to rally so many forces to deal with your Zhang Family.”

“Zhengyu, why are you saying so much nonsense? They’re already dead. Kill them quickly and annex their assets as fast as possible so everyone can go back to their own business. Besides, I have a lot of things to do and I’m too lazy to spend more time and worry about this small Zhang Family.”

Small Zhang Family?

The complexion of each and every member of the Zhang Family turned into dying embers whilst fear engulfed their innermost feelings.

Suddenly, one of the Zhang Family members looked up. His eyes stared at Tang Xiu and asked anxiously, “Mr. Tang, there’s a misunderstanding between us. The ones who wanted to harm you are Zhang Deqin and her younger brother. Even their father didn’t know about this. I know him. If he knew it, he would’ve prevented the siblings, absolutely. You cannot blame others who know nothing. We didn’t participate in it, neither have we any grudges with you. Could you let us go? If you want to take over all the assets of the Zhang Family, then take them. I also have money I’ve saved for many years. I can give you all.”

Another one also quickly said, “I also have money. I’m willing to give all of it to buy my life. Don’t kill us. If our Zhang Family collapses, we will also become poor and penniless people, and certainly will hide from you to a faraway place. We might never see each other again. If you want to vent your anger and hatred, just kill Zhang Deqin! She’s the culprit, and the one who must die!”

“YOU…”

Zhang Deqin looked at her two kin with disbelief. One of whom was her uncle and the other was her aunt. She never dreamt they would betray their own niece only save their own lives.

Zhang Fengxian could only look at his own younger brother and sister painfully. He was so distressed he nearly stopped breathing. However, he also didn’t want to die. He wanted to go on living.

His son had died! If he also died, then he would die without heirs.

Zhang Fengxian’s eyes slowly turned crimson. He stared at Zhang Deqin fiercely as he turned his head and spoke full of solemness, “Tang Xiu, the heavenly orders turn in cycle whereas karma has its own retributive justice. Zhang Deqin is my daughter, and it’s her mistake in hiring assassins to kill you. You should think it as her fate for the failure and defeat. This is the so-called ‘a person must be held responsible for their own deeds’. You have ruined our Zhang Family, and if your anger has yet to be vented, then kill her! But as for the others, I hope you can let us go. We’ll leave Star City and go to faraway places. We’ll never meet you again in the future.”

“Dad…”

Zhang Deqin’s blood boiled as she crazily spurted out a mouthful of blood. She didn’t wipe the blood around her mouth and only looked at her father with disbelief. She could understand if her uncle and aunt gave her up and used her as a shield, for she knew that they were selfish, to begin with.

But! Zhang Fengxian was her father! It was said that even a tiger wouldn’t kill its own cubs, but he- he actually wanted her to die for him to keep his own life?

The despair made her so distressed, it was hard for her to breathe.

Suddenly, she felt a deep sorrow, the sudden sadness of having such family members. They were afraid of dying, coveted life, and knew no shame.

As afraid as she was of dying, Zhang Deqin was perfectly well aware that she was without a doubt in a situation that she must die. Her hatred for her family was so intense it even made her instantly flare up as she bellowed, “Tang Xiu! I’ll die. But I tell you, the people who want to kill you is not only me! But also them! They wanted to kill you when you helped the Long Family win the Walled Hill Village. I don’t have much ability, neither can I contact assassins from abroad. It was them who told me the contact information and instigated me to find people to kill you!”

“Bastard, you’re talking rubbish!”

“This is pure slander!”

“You’re talking shit, shameless!”

“You’re so fucking damned…”

The complexion of each and every one of the Zhangs greatly changed and went pale, angry with Zhang Deqin’s roar.

Zhang Fengxian himself didn’t utter any words but looked at his daughter with a cold and detached expression

Tang Xiu looked at the dog-eat-dog situation of the Zhang Family members as he shook his head with a cold expression. Never had he expected that such a situation would emerge. It was to the point that his intention to completely exterminate all the core clansmen of the Zhangs grew more intense.

“Zhengyu, you take care of this.”

“Rest assured! I’ll absolutely handle it perfectly. I’ll leave nothing that can create disasters later.” Long Zhengyu said with a smile.

“WAIT!” Zhang Fengxian growled.

“You still have anything to spit out?” Tang Xiu stopped as he looked at Zhang Fengxian and asked.

Zhang Fengxian took a deep breath and spoke with a deep tone, “Tang Xiu, let us live. I’ll give you a huge sum of money.”

Tang Xiu was indeed short of money, but he had no intention to let Zhang Fengxian go. But he also had no problem squeezing money from people who were about to die. With an expression full of interest, he asked, “Tell me, how much do you value your life?”

“Three billion. I’m willing to buy our lives with three billion yuan. This is the remaining money I have in my possession. Aside from me, nobody from my family knows about this. As long as you’re willing to let us go, the three billion is yours.” Zhang Fengxian spoke with all seriousness.
