121 Control, Power And Kill (2/2)

These were reasons as to why his brother despised him so much.

A strange glint flashed in the young man's face, his eyes were particularly dark. An Sun sighed and poured himself a cup of wine from the jug in front of him and downed it in one go.

…

With hardly any sleep that night, An Sun awoke the following day and left his tent to prepare for his return to the camp.

”If father doesn't have any further requests, I'll be departing off now.” An Sun's head lowered slightly and his hands cupped into fists.

An Hongyu's pressuring eyes dimmed, ”Mm, don't forget my orders from last night. Upon your return, I want to see Duyi Zhong's head on my floor. As a reward, you can keep their treasures and keep some for you and your men.”

An Sun clenched his fists and lowered his head even further.

”Yes.”

”Mm, good. You may go now.”

An Sun left the tent with an inscrutable expression, but upon a closer look, one could see that the depths of his eyes darkened. Walking toward his horse, An Sun was stopped by a familiar voice.

”It's a shame to see you going back so soon, little brother.”

An Sun's eyes turned a shade gloomier to their voice. Sweeping his gaze to the side, his eyes were greeted with An Ruo's dark black eyes - eyes so different from his own.

”I hope things go well for you upon your return. I'm certain you'll complete father's orders effortlessly.” An Ruo said, his eyes narrowing up.

An Sun's gray eyes contained traces of indifference, his expression explicating he held no intention to respond. Toward his silence, An Ruo's smile grew more contemptuous.

”Stubborn as always I see.” He chuckled. ”Don't be too upset, father only meant to help hasten your plans for you.”

”In that case, thank him for me.” An Sun mounted onto his horse.

An Ruo continued to smile. ”Of course. Travel safe, little brother.”

An Sun paid no need to his words and ushered his horse forward, leaving the An campgrounds. An Ruo watched his figure grow smaller in the distance, the smile on his face vanishing from sight and his face twisted, revealing a sinister expression.
