1473 Responsibilities (2/2)
”Dad, do you know how these people screwed Zhang Tie in the birthday of the old madam in Huaiyuan Prefecture?” Zhang Yang opened his mouth before Zhang Tie in a disdainful way, ”Zhang Tie just kicked the ball back at that time. However, these guys forgot everything else at the sight of such an astronomical amount of money. Before the old man's corpse turns cold, they have thought about gaining profits at the cost of Zhang Tie with a shameless reason. They treated Zhang Tie and I as idiots. Such people are blinded by money, shortsighted and extremely silly. They would be black sheeps at home and would incur troubles sooner or later. I feel Zhang Tie's deed is not excessive at all. If it were me, I would have whipped them today. Zhang Tie is right. We have to follow starkest rules at home since today!”
”Erm, no matter what, Zhang Fan...is your 9th uncle. Those people are your cousins!” Zhang Tie's dad said with a sigh of relief.
”Therefore, I didn't have people chop off their head for the sake of the old man; instead, I left a chance to them!” Zhang Tie watched his dad as he added, ”The goodwill, tolerance and trust of my elder brother and I about this family is not weeds in the wild. We're not to be spoiled and disappointed by them. Otherwise, they have to pay for that and prepare to face the other side of us...”
”Alright. I won't talk about it any more. You're clearer than me about these things. You two brothers should go to bed early. I will go accompany your mom...” Zhang Tie's dad said helplessly as he shook his head and left there, leaving Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang alone in the room.
Zhang Yang threw a glance at Zhang Tie, saying, ”I feel you've changed a lot after the death of the old man.”
”Before the old man passed away, he handed the entire family to me. I have to live up to his trust!” Zhang Tie forced a bitter smile at his elder brother as he added, ”Additionally...” Zhang Tie became hesitant as he stopped...
Zhang Tie's hesitation aroused Zhang Yang's curiosity as the latter watched him with explorative eye light.
Zhang Tie shook his head silently with a bitter smile...
The existence above sage-level demon knights was the biggest crisis facing Zhang Tie. As Zhang Tie had lost his battle strength, he felt intense more or less as he longed for gaining a greater ability to respond to it before the real crisis arrived. To make it, he had to make a great reform about his clan so that his clan could grow stronger even if he incurred swear and condemnation.
However, Zhang Tie didn't feel necessary to tell his elder brother about it, as his elder brother was not even a knight. Otherwise, his elder brother would only feel more fretful.
Men's shoulders were used to carry burdens, even a mountain. Zhang Yang could carry burdens for the family, even Huaiyuan Palace as a whole. However, if one was not able to tread a heavenly demon knight under foot, he could only feel fretful about such a stress.
In front of Zhang Yang, Zhang Tie had already called Zhang Su in by remote-sensing finger ring. He then repeated his decision to Zhang Su before having him assign some guards to take away those cousins who wanted to share the monetary gifts.
Zhang Su propped up Zhang Tie's decision very much. When Zhang Tie spoke, Zhang Su's eye light had turned downright cold with shrewd and aggressive light. After Zhang Tie finished his words, Zhang Su clarified the names of those cousins to Zhang Yang. Then, he cupped his hands towards Zhang Tie and left there.
Only after a short while, the two courtyards in the old mansion where Zhang disciples lived had been filled with cries. However, only after a few seconds, the cries had disappeared. The old mansion recovered its tranquility. At this moment, a team of powerhouses of Fire-Dragon Corps towed some people out of the old mansion from the rear door and left Golden Light City by airship in the evening.
