Thud, thud, thud.
Ye Xuan held the Nangong family tree in his hands as he slowly walked forward until he arrived beside a young man. The Bloodthirsty Demon Sword was pressed against the young man's chest. He turned around to look at Nangong Tian in the video and said, "Nangong Shu, your third son, he's the next to die."
"Turn off the video and leave Xia Country immediately."
The masked man's body tensed up when he saw Ye Xuan's horrifying methods and roared at Nangong Tian.
Unfortunately, Nangong Tian was already in endless pain. He ignored the warning of the masked man and begged Ye Xuan, "No, no, I'll go and see you immediately."
"Time's up."
Ye Xuan's voice was very calm, but it meant the death of a life.
"Dad, save me … save me … I don't want to die …"
Poof!
The sword pierced through his heart and blood splattered everywhere. Before Nangong Shu could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground and turned into a cold corpse. His eyes were wide open and he was looking at Nangong Tian through the video call.
"Son … my son!" Nangong Tian was in tears and he couldn't stop crying.
"You still have eight minutes, you can continue crying," Ye Xuan said calmly and walked towards a young woman. She was Nangong Tian's second daughter.
"No … no … I'll go and see you now." Nangong Tian was driven crazy by Ye Xuan. He yelled at the pilot, "Take off, take off immediately."
Crack!
Suddenly, the masked man crushed Nangong Tian's phone and glared at Nangong Tian. "You idiot, even if you go, not only will you die, but your Nangong Family will also die."
"Get lost, get lost. Do you know that even if I'm still alive, I'm already old and can't have children anymore? If they're all dead, what's the point of me living alone in this world?" Nangong Tian roared as he trembled.
"Anta, I'm begging you, please help me this time. This is the password of the Nangong Family's overseas bank. I'll give you all of my assets, just help me this time." Nangong Tian took out a black card and begged continuously.
The masked man clenched his fists as he looked at Nangong Tian who was in tears. His eyes were extremely gloomy. He took a deep look at Nangong Tian, took the black card, and said to the pilot, "Send him to the Nangong Family."
Following the masked man's command, the helicopter slowly rose into the air and headed straight for the Nangong family.
"Boss, he will definitely die this time. He will definitely expose our whereabouts," a foreign man said worriedly.
Ghost Face looked at the helicopter that Nangong Tian was in and asked, "Do you know who's the scariest?"
"Boss, what are you talking about?" the foreign man asked in confusion.
"There are two types of people in this world that are the scariest. The first type is people who are righteous and have no regrets even if they die."
"The second type is people who are cold-blooded and heartless. They will do anything to achieve their goals. Even if they kill everyone in the world, they won't feel guilty at all. Ye Xuan is this type of person. He's the scariest."
"I think … we've offended someone that we shouldn't have."
The ghost-faced man's voice was extremely bitter, and his aura was slightly dispirited. He believed that he was also a ruthless person, but compared to Ye Xuan, he was nothing more than a minor character.
"Tell everyone that we can't stay in this base any longer. Order everyone to retreat to the second base." The masked man woke up from his bitter state of mind and gave the order to the foreign man.
"Yes, Boss."
The foreign man took the order and left. However, the masked man looked in the direction of the Nangong Family and was in a daze.
…
At the Nangong Family.
There was a strong smell of blood in the air and six to seven corpses were lying on the ground. Extreme fear spread throughout the Nangong Family. Just as Ye Xuan said, Nangong Tian would kill one person for every minute that he delayed. After all, Ye Xuan believed that he was a man of his words.
Initially, the Nangong Family members were screaming and cursing, but now, they were dead silent. Everyone's eyes were filled with fear and despair. This was because Ye Xuan was no longer a human in their eyes. He was a cold-blooded and cruel demon.
"Daddy, I'm scared!"
A young child's voice was heard. The child was curled up in Nangong Ming's arms and didn't dare to look at Ye Xuan's face.
"Don't be scared, don't be scared. Your grandfather will come and save us soon." Nangong Ming comforted the child with a trembling voice. However, he was obviously not confident and there was despair in his eyes.
Looking at this scene, Ye Xuan's expression didn't change. However, his eyes were as deep as an ancient pond as he strolled towards Nangong Ming and his son.
"Little kid, come, let uncle hug you."
"Ye Xuan, don't touch my son." Nangong Ming screamed in fear. He hugged the child tightly and refused to let go.
Unfortunately, Nangong Ming was only a mortal. How could he resist Ye Xuan? Under Ye Xuan's cold gaze, Nangong Ming snatched the child from Nangong Ming's hands.
"Boohoo!"
"Bad guy, let go of me. Let go of me."
The child cried loudly and kicked Ye Xuan continuously. Obviously, he was frightened by Ye Xuan's actions.
"Little kid, tell uncle, what's your name?" Ye Xuan smiled warmly, but in the eyes of the child, it caused his face to turn deathly pale. His body that was constantly kicking also calmed down.
"My … my name is Nangong Zhi." The child replied with a trembling voice.
Ye Xuan nodded slowly. His gaze became even more profound. It was unknown if he was talking to the child or himself. He said, "I have a story. Do you want to hear it?"
Without waiting for the child's reply, Ye Xuan seemed to have sunk into reminiscence. His voice gradually became low and deep.
"Once upon a time, there was a child. His family was very poor. When he was five years old, he lost his father. He and his mother relied on each other for survival. On this day, it was the child's sixth birthday. His mother bought a fish and specially made his favorite, braised carp, to celebrate his birthday."
"On this day, the child was very happy. He ate the fish in large mouthfuls until there was only a pile of fish bones left. Only then did he burp in satisfaction. However, when he walked into the kitchen, he saw his mother quietly eating his leftover fish bones."
Listening to Ye Xuan's story, the child temporarily forgot his fear. He asked curiously, "And then?"
Ye Xuan's eyes were absent-minded. He continued, "After half a year, in the dead of winter, under the attack of the wind and snow, the child wore a single layer of clothing and stood guard at the entrance of a restaurant. He watched as a bully ate the fish on the table with big mouthfuls. His eyes were filled with envy."
"A braised carp was quickly finished by the bully. The bully did not pay and was sent off by the boss flatteringly. However, the child looked at the remaining fish bones and was unwilling to leave. After a great deal of hesitation, he finally ran into the restaurant and stole the plate of fish bones. However, he was discovered by the boss and was beaten black and blue."
"He … why did he steal someone else's leftovers?" the child asked suspiciously.
"Because today is his mother's birthday." Ye Xuan said in a low voice.
"Ah?"
Listening to Ye Xuan's story, the child exclaimed in surprise. His eyes were filled with anger. He said, "That boss is so mean."
"After being scolded and beaten, the boss left. The child finally managed to protect the fish bones in his arms. Enduring the pain all over his body, he brought them home for his mother to eat."
"However, from that day onwards, the child understood a principle. Humans can only survive in this cruel world by being strong. The weak will be beaten mercilessly like he is today."
Ye Xuan finished his story at this point. However, the indifferent and emotionless aura around him became stronger.
"Uncle … Uncle … Are you that child?" the child asked in a trembling voice. He seemed to have understood something.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not answer the child's question. He gently placed the child in front of Nangong Ming and said in a low voice, "Your childhood was undoubtedly happy. However, your Nangong family offended someone you should not have offended.
