Old Xiong gave a sidelong glance at her. ”Why didn't you tell me that he had harassed you before?”

If this case had not been known, the old man would remain in the dark that his granddaughter had been almost humiliated by this sc.u.m. He felt ashamed of himself. If this matter had not been solved by Zhou Min's son, he would never be able to forgive himself.

He was powerful in the high society yet he could not enact revenge for his own granddaughter. Everything that was happening today was his granddaughter's own effort.

”You didn't care much about me before. Even if I say it, it wouldn't matter.”

”...What—” The old man opened his mouth in shock.

”You, at most, would just banish him. But it wasn't enough of a revenge for me.”

Xiong Zhi was bolder in expressing her thoughts and feelings. Maybe, Xiong De's downturn gave her the courage to speak of what she really thought to his grandfather.

The old man turned silent.

He could not help but think back on how he treated his granddaughter a few years ago.

He was indifferent to anyone. Even to his own grandchild who bore his own blood, he did not care for her emotionally and mentally. He would only feel ashamed and mad that a minor person from the second branch dared to harm the first branch.

And like Xiong Zhi said, he would banish the sinner from the family, but that was most likely the end of it.

Banishing from the legendary Xiong family was already the worst punishment just after torturing the other to death.

”I...will take revenge on him for you,” the old man finally said after a long time.

He could make Xiong De's life in prison seem like hell. He already thought of it before, because the man dared to end his life. And now with the matter with his granddaughter, he would definitely make him suffer more.

Xiong Zhi just raised her lips. ”It has been arranged. His retribution is already in my hands.”

The old man opened his mouth. He at least wanted to do something for her. However, what else could he offer? It seemed like she already had everything within her palm.

For the first time, the old man felt that he was lacking and could not offer anything of value.

”If you really feel bad, then promise me to not help Xiong Wuyue when she pleads to you.”

”You don't have to say that. I don't see her as a granddaughter anymore.”

Xiong Wuyue fell from favor in Old Xiong's eyes. Since she was the daughter of the person who tried to murder him, naturally he did not want to see that granddaughter of his.

Xiong Zhi knew that the old man would not give help to Xiong Wuyue after this case. But she was not just talking about that.

She was talking about the future, at the final ending she planned for the woman.

”Alright. You promised me. You must not go back to your word. Even if you see her in beggar's clothing, kneeling in front of you to get your pity, you must not help her.”

The old man paused and glanced at his granddaughter's face. Her face was cold and expressionless. For a moment, he could feel a murderous aura from her.

The old man felt that there was something more that this branch had done to her.

”You can ask help from me. I am willing to help,” he blurted out suddenly. He did not know clearly what his granddaughter wanted, but he could use his power to help.

Xiong Zhi's eyes remained in front, watching Xiong De confess. ”Then, please do your best to stop any movements from Xiong Min.”
