Chapter 1104: You Really Disappoint Father

Killing his mother and brother, the crimes committed by Huang Yan are too heinous to be recorded on bamboo slips.

Huang Longji's eyes held only hatred; he thought only of revenge and ignored everything else.

He didn't care about the cause or why it happened; all he saw was Huang Yan killing his wife and son, and he only wanted to kill Huang Yan to avenge his dead wife and son—nothing more.

Huang Wuji darkened his face, glaring at his son before him, and angrily shouted: "How dare you say that? I asked you back then, you hid it from me, and now look—Yang'er is dead, Feifei is dead, yet you show no remorse for your actions."

"They died, and they deserved it. Yan'er is Yang'er's older brother, a true elder brother, posing no threat, yet he tried to put Yan'er to death. He already obtained the Flame Yang Bone, yet he still wanted to exterminate Yan'er; Yan'er killing him was justified."

"In a brotherly feud, if you die, it's just that your skill was inferior; there's nothing to resent."

Huang Yang's death naturally pained Huang Wuji; the grandson he had poured countless resources into could have contended for the Dao Realm, even attaining sagehood was not impossible.

As a result, he died.

He died right here, before he could even get up.

Fortunately, Yan'er is still alive, and this son still wants to kill Yan'er, cutting off the Huang Family's last genius. If Yan'er died, no one in this generation could match him; the others' talent falls far short of Yan'er and Yang'er's, at best mediocre, utterly unable to rival the geniuses of other clans.

If a generation falls behind, it will be suppressed; the Huang Family's future status will drop. Relying on these old-timers to hold the line, how many years can they last? In this world, weakness invites bullying, suppression, and then extermination.

The Huang Family's continued existence lies in its willingness to invest in the next generation rather than hoarding resources for itself; raising Huang Yang and Huang Yan alone consumed nearly one-fifth of the family's resources—a terrifying expenditure—but fortunately, these two did not disappoint, reaching the expectations placed upon them.

Give them a few more years, and they will surpass Huang Longji's generation, completing the transfer of power.

By then, the Huang Family will rise.

"Yang'er is dead—let him be—but Yan'er must not die."

"Longji, you cannot kill Yan'er; that is an order."

Huang Longji lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot, and roared: "On what basis?"

"That little beast Huang Yan is my son; he killed my wife and my Yang'er—murder demands a life for a life, nothing more to say. This time he must die, Father, and you cannot stop me."

"I am resolved to kill him; if Huang Yan dares to do this, he must pay the price."

Huang Wuji raised his hand and slapped Huang Longji away.

"Bang."

Huang Longji fell three meters away, lying on the ground with a swollen, red face.

His lips bled; one can imagine the force of that slap.

Huang Wuji coldly said: "I am informing you, not consulting you."

"Yan'er must not die; he is the Huang Family's future. Since Yang'er is dead, this ends here."

"Huang Longji, you are the Family Head of the Huang Family; you should think of the Huang Family's future, not the Luo Family's."

"That woman Luo Feifei harbors ill intentions, sharp and bitter; I told you before not to marry her, yet you insisted on having her—now look, your son has turned against you, and father and son are at odds."

"It would be best if she died, lest the Huang Family later be destroyed by her hand."

Huang Wuji does not like Luo Feifei; he didn't then, and he doesn't now.

That woman is too skilled at acting, and each performance can fool Huang Longji, leaving this son of his spinning in confusion.

"Father, Feifei is your daughter-in-law," Huang Longji gritted his teeth.

Huang Wuji gave a cold snort: "That's merely what you think; in my heart I do not acknowledge her status—a concubine rising up, also wanting to be my Huang Family's lady—go dream on."

"Only you consider her your wife; the Huang Family people do not see it that way."

"Enough, these matters are past; since she's dead, everything is over."

"When you return, remember to purge Luo Feifei's people—kill anyone she brought with her."

These words were meant for this son to hear, and also to tell his second and third brothers nearby: when they go back, they should kill and leave no survivors.

When Luo Feifei was present, Huang Wuji gave face to his son; now he can let loose.

The Luo Family members, along with those who followed Luo Feifei, usually acted high and mighty; this time they will be wiped out completely.

To prepare for Yan'er to take control of the Huang Family, this is what this grandfather must do.

As for Huang Longji, after returning he will be imprisoned, not allowed to cause trouble.

A family cannot have two Family Heads.

"Father, you can't do this—I am your son; how can you treat me like this?"

Huang Longji knew his fate; once his father decided, it could not be changed.

In the Huang Family, the father's word is law.

"Precisely because you are my son, I have tolerated you for decades; yet you show no change. If, after all these years, you could straighten up and be a bit firmer, I could entrust the Huang Family to you with peace of mind."

"You truly disappoint me—controlled by a woman, you have lost yourself."

"If so, then step aside and make way for Yan'er."

"There's nothing more to say; this son is unqualified, and naturally someone will step forward."

Huang Wuji does not want his son to continue harming the Huang Family; over these years the family has instead weakened, while Luo Feifei played a major role, and conversely her Luo Family has risen swiftly, its controlled territory expanding.

All this is Luo Feifei's achievement in subsidizing the Luo Family; that woman, Huang Wuji had long wanted to strike and kill her—can the Huang Family's possessions be taken at will?

"Father, I am the true Family Head of the Huang Family," Huang Longji lifted his head and stared directly at Huang Wuji.

Huang Wuji's gaze softened.

"You have always been this way; why must I, as father, go to such extremes?"

"Son, you have awakened too late; your life has been ruined by a woman."

"Your life is over; from now on, just… stay put in the Huang Family, don't go anywhere."

"As father, I will accompany you."

Huang Longji was imprisoned.

His future is gone.

"Father, why must you treat your son this way?" Huang Longji asked unwillingly.

He is not a cat or dog to be summoned when convenient and kicked away when not.

He is a person, he is the Family Head of the Huang Family, his strength is only second to his father's.

It doesn't mean he doesn't dare to act; facing his father Huang Wuji, Huang Longji still dares to have a showdown.

"You have disappointed Father too much; Father has given you many chances, you never managed to seize them; this time, it's the last chance."

"The result is, you have disappointed Father greatly."
