129 Bring Back Safely (1/2)
In the An Clan camps' main tent, the atmosphere was extremely stifling. An Hongyu, who was seated in his large chair bore a sullen and hostile expression - the oppressive aura around him intensifying.
”What did you say?” An Hongyu's fists clenched, his sharp voice exuding a chilling frost.
The An Clan members present shivered and felt a cold sweat run down their backs with their heads lowered.
A young man stood in front of the enraged clan leader, facing his anger head-on without a shred of fear. An Ruo stared at his father with a mild gaze and suppressed the sneer forming on his lips.
”After hearing reports from my scouts, it would appear An Sun has returned to Jilin territory and plans to neglect fathers orders. He intends to continue to cooperate with their governor.”
An Hongyu's expression grew uglier by the second. ”Why didn't you notify me of this sooner?!”
An Ruo looked at his father calmly and spoke in a clear tone, ”Since father ordered for me to call back my spies in fear of losing An Sun's trust, I was wary to report to you the news.”
Seeming to have calmed after hearing his explanation, An Hongyu's aura eased somewhat. However, just as it left his gaze turned gloomy.
Smashing his palm against the armrest violently, he snapped. ”That treacherous bastard!”
A bang echoed throughout the tent, causing the clan members' knees to quiver. Even though An Hongyu's rage wasn't directed toward them, those present still felt the urge to kneel and beg for forgiveness - reasons they wouldn't know why.
However, An Hongyu was too immersed in his raging thoughts to care for the fear in the other clan members.

An Sun, that bastard dare defy him!
He was infuriated to find that years of suppressing and removing of the young man's resources still wasn't enough to stop him from disregarding his orders.
Rather it seemed this only seemed to incite his urge to rebel! He could no longer endure being provoked and ignored by such incompetent scum.
As the rage in his heart was swirling to the point of explosion, An Ruo's next words cracked the last bit of restraint he bore.
”It also looks like one of my scouts has yet to return after heading further north.”
Although his words were few, An Hongyu knew very well what they indicated. Having not returned after an extensive period meant he was killed!
He knew all the scouts and guards An Ruo was assigned had high martial art skills. He could only assume the one to kill the sent scout was An Sun in fear of being discovered.
But what? What exactly was he trying to hide?
By now, An Hongyu's gaze was dripping with anger. He coldly cast a glance to the An Clan members on the side.
”Dispatch our troops over and summon for a retreat immediately!” He hollered.
Under his sharp, ruthless eyes, they nodded and left to carry out orders. Paying no need to their rushing figures, An Hongyu fixes his gaze back on the young man in front of him.
