479 Throw Away the Nine-Hundred-Million, But Don’t Forfeit Conscience! (2/2)
”We must make reprisals, but we can't be excessive! Someone has provoked us, and we'll certainly kill them in response! However, each crime has its perpetrator. The Huang Family hasn't educated its people well. But, the others are innocent in this matter. We're only venting your anger. And, I hope that you understand this. You said that you want to look at them when they're in their worst state. I want… you to understand! But, I won't stop you if you go and kill all nine generations of their family!”
Jun Mo Xie slowly continued, ”And, that's because you are my brother! I'll even accompany you to the very depths of hell!”
Tang Yuan's face convulsed in pain. It then slowly filled with a sense of gloom as he remained silent. A long while passed before he spoke-up in a hoarse voice, ”Don't worry… I only want them to know that everyone will pay the price even if one of them makes a mistake — not that one person alone! I obviously won't mind annihilating them if they don't understand this.”
Jun Mo Xie chuckled and patted his shoulder. But, he didn't speak any further.
”I'm only trying to vent my anger. In fact, you also know that I'm only trying to vent my anger. But, you're willing to give me nine-hundred-million for it? You're willing to give me everything we have?” Tang Yuan was somewhat emotionally moved.
”That's because you're my brother! So, I'm willing to accompany you on this madness! After all, can nine-hundred-million buy me a new Tang Yuan? I'll withdraw from this if they can!” Jun Mo Xie smiled.
Tang Yuan suddenly turned away and laughed. However, he somewhat choked with emotion and coughed as he did…
Song Shang and Hai Chen Feng looked at each other. Their eyes belied the fact that they were also slightly sentimental.
[Throwing away nine-hundred-million so that your brother can vent his anger and breathe a sigh of relief? What kind of brotherhood is this? How many brothers since antiquity were prepared to throw away nine-hundred-million for their brothers?]
[The Emperor? Would even he do it? Never!]
[This is nine-hundred-million! It's not nine-million, not nine-hundred or nine-thousand! Even the public treasury of a big nation like Tian Xiang doesn't earn a hundred-million in an entire year!]
[Tian Xiang's public treasury wouldn't earn this much in even ten years! And, would the Emperor spend that entire sum of money on one person… would he risk his own life for a friend…? Would he spend his entire fortune on a friend? Spending nine-hundred-million in silver? You could build a city with that much money!]
[No one has ever done this since ancient times!]
They didn't say anything. Instead, they quietly went out to arrange what the Fatty had ordered them to do. Consequently, only the two brothers remained there.
Jun Mo Xie spoke-up from behind in a faint voice as they left, ”Each one of you should take a Bone Tempering Pill first. You'll feel the effects. And, I'm certain that it'll improve your abilities very considerably!”
Hai Chen Feng and Song Shang were overjoyed by this. So, they thanked in unison.
Tang Yuan finally sighed in relief when he saw the two men leave. However, it suddenly seemed that he had exhausted his strength. He sat paralyzed in his chair. And, he had covered his face with his hands…
Tang Yuan jumped up after a short period of time, and sneakily looked around. After that, he went to the doorway, and poked his head out. Then, he went to the window to close it shut. And, he took this opportunity to wipe his eyes with his sleeves. He thought that Jun Mo Xie hadn't seen it. But, Jun Mo Xie had seen that even though Tang Yuan didn't know that he had…
”What are you doing? Why are you acting like a sneaky ghost?” Jun Mo Xie looked at him. ”Don't worry. Even a Spirit Xuan expert or a Great Master wouldn't be able to eavesdrop on us as long as I'm here.”
”That's good!” Tang Yuan moved mysteriously. ”Something seems wrong of late, Third Young Master.”
”What's wrong?” Jun Mo Xie raised his eyebrows.
”There's something wrong with the Imperial Family. It can be said that something is wrong with the Emperor.” Tang Yuan breathing had become somewhat hurried, ”Young Master, everyone was already prepared for you the moment you left from the Southern Heaven City. In fact, they had prepared everything in advance, and they would ambush you at the city's gates. However, you went on a killing spree upon your return. And, you slaughtered everyone who laid in ambush for you. After that, you took away the Meng Family's properties. You basically killed everyone who had launched those sharp attacks on you. Then, over thirty government officials died in a bizarre and mysterious manner. I'm certain that I would see your hand behind these events even if I use my knees to think! I would try to prosecute you, and confiscate your belongings for the huge crimes you committed. So, don't you find it strange that we haven't seen the Emperor make any move as of yet?”
”Should I find this strange?” Jun Mo Xie put his chin on his hand, and assumed the posture of a great 'thinker'.
”However, the Emperor hasn't even invited you to the Imperial Court ever since you've returned!” Tang Yuan said in a deeply worried tone, ”You have to be mentally prepared for this, Third Young Master. The Jun Family is flourishing at the moment. But, you may not be able to do anything if he wants to get rid of it. After all, the strength of an entire nation isn't something an individual can compete against!”
”I'll take note of that!” Jun Mo Xie's expression became increasingly less serious.
