Chapter 24: A Brute

ruly went as the master's wish. After I fell from the cliff and landed in the pond, I was lucky enough to survive.""The other party searched near that pond for three days and three nights before final...[ ]

"His identity is not something you are entitled to know!" the judge responded in a deep voice.

"If you don't want to die here today, I advise you to take the chance he's offering!"

Otherwise, I wouldn't mind giving you a ride myself!

Plop!

Upon hearing his words, the three of them knelt down simultaneously and kowtowed heavily to Ling Hao.

"Please, sir, spare my nephew this time..." Zhao Yuehui spoke first.

"I'm willing to pay, consider it compensation for Miss Zheng. Just tell me the amount and I'll have someone transfer the money immediately..."

The other two heads of household also nodded quickly at the same time, all saying that as long as their sons could be spared, they were willing to pay any price.

"Are you guys wealthy" Ling Hao took a sip of red wine. "Then how much are you planning to pay Ten trillion or one hundred trillion"

"I..." Zhao Yuehui struggled to speak, finding no words.

Although the Zhao family ranks as the first family in Dongzhou, the cash they can come up with in a short period of time will definitely not exceed 10 billion.

Even if all the assets under Zhao's family were sold, it is estimated that they would only be able to raise a few hundred billion yuan at most.

"Give each of them a knife. If they don't cut the rope within three minutes, let them jump." Ling Hao took a puff of his cigarette and spoke calmly.

Bang!

Three cold crescent swords were thrown before the three men, emitting a chilling aura.

"I... I'll make a phone call..." Zhao Yuehui said with difficulty, then tremblingly and nervously took his phone out of his pocket.

Zhao Yuehui is going to make a last attempt.

As the second-in-command of the Zhao family, he knew several influential figures in Dongzhou and hoped to use his connections to save his nephew's life.

One minute later, the first call connected.

However, before he could finish his sentence, the other party heard that it was the Shadow Gate who was involved and hung up directly.

Tick tock!

A drop of sweat, the size of a mung bean, rolled down his forehead.

Take a deep breath and dial the second number again.

Needless to say, halfway through the sentence, the phone was hung up.

The third, the fourth, and the waves keep crashing...

Bang!

The phone dropped to the ground, his face as pale as wax!

"One last minute!" boomed the judge's voice.

Phew!

Zhao Yuehui heaved a heavy sigh, trembling as he picked up one of the curved swords and staggered toward Zhao Jiashua.

The other two heads of household, having no choice, bent down to pick up their swords and stumbled forward.

"Second Uncle... you... what are you going to do... I... I'm your nephew!" Zhao Jiahua cried out.

"Hua'er... don't blame your uncle, you did wrong, you have to take responsibility. For the sake of the entire Zhao family, I had no choice..."

After Zhao Yuehui finished speaking, he took a deep breath and drew his sword!

For him, there was truly no other choice!

"No!..." Zhao Jiahua cried out hysterically.

The next moment, the body vanished into the darkness like a falling leaf.

The other two young masters met the same fate as Zhao Jiahua. They were both cut free from their ropes by their own fathers and then thrown into the raging lake.

Boom!

Subsequently, Zhao Yuehui and the other two collapsed onto the ground.

As if aging several decades in an instant, tears streamed down my face, overwhelmed with grief.

One hour later, Zhao Family Courtyard in Xizhou, Dongzhou City.

What!

Patriarch Zhao Yuehua, after hearing his second brother's words, roared angrily, and at the same time, an extremely cold killing intent emanated from him.

That's his own son, just feeding the fish like that!

How dare someone treat the Zhao family like this! Are they trying to turn the world upside down!

Bang!

Zhao Yuehua, furious, slammed his palm onto the tea table in front of him. The table exploded instantly. Glass shattered everywhere.

"Please forgive me, elder brother. It's my incompetence, I couldn't save little Hua..." Zhao Yuehui sat slumped on the sofa, tears streaming down his face.

Phew!

Zhao Yuehua let out a heavy sigh, lit a cigar and took a deep puff before looking at Zhao Yuehui and saying.

"It's not your fault. If I were there, I would have made the same choice."

After blowing out a plume of smoke, he continued, "Are you sure that kid is seeking revenge for that little bitch from the Zheng family"

"Yes!" Zhao Yuehui nodded in response. "He said it himself!"

"Check!" Zhao Yuehua looked at the Zhao family head butler standing at the doorway and said in a deep voice.

"Immediately have someone investigate if any remnants of the Zheng family survived! Report back as soon as you have any news!"

"Received!" The manager nodded vigorously and then turned away.

"Big brother, that kid over there seems to have an unusual relationship with the Yingmen!" Zhao Yuehui also lit a cigar and took a puff.

"If he is truly a descendant of Zheng, we have to be on guard!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Yuehua snorted coldly.

"So what if he has a good relationship with Yingmen, if he's truly the remnants of the Zheng family, even if he's the master of Yingmen, I will make him die again!"

After finishing his words, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he then spoke.

"Call Xiaojie immediately and tell him his brother had an accident. Ask him to come back as soon as possible these two days!"

"What's your plan, big brother" Zhao Yuehui was slightly taken aback.

"No matter who the other party is, whoever dares to kill my son, I will definitely dismember him a thousand times!" Zhao Yuehua gritted his teeth.

"Good!" Zhao Yuehui nodded seriously.

He didn't expect his older brother to call Xiaojie back.

Xiaojie is his elder brother's eldest son, and also the pride of their entire Zhao family!

Not only is he formidable in his individual abilities, but at such a young age, he has already been selected as a candidate for the position of supervisor of the Imperial Court. He is highly regarded by his superiors and has a promising future ahead of him.

You have to know, Yitang, that's an organization that is comparable to Yingmen as the two most important institutions of the nation. Elite gather there, and power runs rampant.

Within the Shadow Gate, justice prevails, order is restored, and evil is purged!

Protect the main hall, ward off enemies, and enhance our nation's prestige!

Every young person who can successfully pass the Trial of Guardians and become a formal member is unparalleled!

Besides, you inform the third brother and ask him to invite the Pang brothers to Dongzhou. Just say that the Zhao family has invited them, with a reward of one hundred million! Zhao Yuehua continued to instruct.

"Received!"

A flicker of light appeared in Zhao Yuehui's eyes after hearing the name "Ponz brothers."

Zhao Yuhua took another puff of his cigar, his eyes bloodshot, staring straight ahead, speaking word by word.

"If you dare kill my son, I will make you taste a life worse than death!"

……

Ding Dong!

As lunchtime approached on the third day, Ling Hao and Lu Yue were having lunch on the first floor of their hotel when their phones rang.

It's a call from Qin Yuxin.

"Yuxin, have you arrived in Dongzhou" Ling Hao said when he answered the phone.

"Daddy, I'm Ruirui. Where are you I miss you so much. Can you come see me" A childish voice came through the phone.

"Ruirui" Ling Hao's expression brightened, and he spoke softly.

"Ruirui, ask your mother where you are now, Dad will be there soon."

"Really Can you really come see Ruirui right now That's great, then Dad, hurry over!" Ruirui said excitedly.

I'll give my mom the phone so she can tell you where we are.

"Great!" Ling Hao responded with a smile.

"Ruirui kept calling for you after she woke up that day. I could tell, she really misses you!" Qin Yuxin's voice came through the phone.

"We originally planned to come back to Dongzhou around evening, but Rui Rui kept asking to see you, so we came back earlier."

"We are at our home in Dongzhou now. I'll send you the address later. If you have time, come play with Ruirui!"

"I'm free now, coming right over!" Ling Hao's nose tingled slightly.

"Great!" Qin Yuxin responded before hanging up the phone.

In a moment, the address was sent to Ling Hao's phone.

"Are the toys ready" Ling Hao and the other person walked towards the hotel entrance.

"Hmm!" Lu Yue nodded. "I had the Judge buy it, it's already in the parking lot."

"Good!" Ling Hao nodded and quickened his pace.

"Greetings, General!" As soon as he reached the parking lot, a man in brocade robes jumped out of the driver's seat of a van.

"Where are the toys" Ling Hao was slightly taken aback.

"Here everyone is!" The man quickly walked to the carriage and pulled open the door.

The Judge said he didn't know what kind of toys RuiRui liked, so he bought a little bit of everything.

Ling Hao and Lu Yue walked over and took a look, both of them involuntarily twitching their mouths.

Okay!

The whole train car is full of toys!

"You should make him move the whole mall here!" Ling Hao looked at Lu Yue speechless.

"What a brute!" Lu Yue was equally speechless.p Martial Venerable!"He Yunduo's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He didn't expect Han Yue's skill to be so formidable."If you dare to draw your sword in front of the marshal again, you're dead...
