Chapter 429: You Cannot Escape

~9 min read 1,700 words

"Heh, you say I'm cruel? You say I disregarded brotherly affection to destroy your father, but what about you?" Xia Guoqiang couldn't help but laugh: "Aren't you also planning to kill your own uncle?"

"I am avenging my parents. A murderer cannot remain at large for a lifetime," Xia Tian said coldly: "End it yourself, don't force me to do it."

"Good, good," Xia Guoqiang gritted his teeth: "Worthy of being taught by that old thing, your methods are ruthless and decisive enough. I will end it myself today; I won't let you do it."

Xia Guoqiang reached out to take a glass of wine, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Actually, when I came, I had already prepared for the worst. If I don't succeed, I will sacrifice myself. Heh, Xia Tian, let me give you one piece of advice: never be soft-hearted toward that old thing."

"Because his desire for control is too strong; it is impossible for him to completely let go of the Xia Clan. If you let him go, one day, my fate will be your tomorrow."

Xia Guoqiang tilted his head to drink it down, while Xia Tian's body trembled, unable to bear watching.

Slap... Chen Yu smashed Xia Guoqiang's wine glass with a slap.

"What are you doing? Chen Yu, you ruined my good deed and caused my defeat. Can't you even let me die in peace?" Xia Guoqiang said angrily.

"Xia Tian, let him go," Chen Yu said suddenly.

"Why?" Xia Tian was startled.

"You are not the type of person who uses unscrupulous means. He is your own uncle. If he dies today, you will never be able to get past this hurdle in your life," Chen Yu said: "Let him go."

"But... the vengeance for my parents is irreconcilable." Xia Tian was incredibly conflicted; he didn't know what to do.

Just as Chen Yu said, Xia Tian was not a person of cruel methods. Even knowing that Xia Guoqiang was the one who caused the death of his biological parents, given his personality, if he really forced Xia Guoqiang to his death, he would never be able to get past this hurdle in his life.

"Do you believe there is light in this world?" Chen Yu smiled: "Do you also believe that three feet above our heads, there are gods watching?"

Xia Tian stared blankly at Chen Yu, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"You must know that Xia Guoqiang has committed many evils. Even if you let him go, Heaven will not let him off," Chen Yu said: "Your parents died in a car accident. Now that twenty years have passed, it has become a Reincarnation. He cannot escape it."

Xia Tian looked at Chen Yu, nodded heavily, and then turned around and said: "Let them go."

"Let me go?" Xia Guoqiang didn't react for a moment, and he looked at Xia Tian in surprise: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true," Xia Tian said coldly: "I am different from you. I have humanity, and you do not. Before I change my mind, get out."

"Good, good, you are a good person, you are a saint, you don't even avenge your parents' deaths, haha, you really are something." Xia Guoqiang gave Xia Tian a thumbs up, then stared at Chen Yu and said: "Why did you speak up for me?"

"Speak up for you? You're overthinking it," Chen Yu smiled: "Xia Guoqiang, do you believe in Life?"

"I don't believe in Life. My Life can only be controlled by myself," Xia Guoqiang sneered.

"Whether you believe it or not, fate is laid out right here," Chen Yu smiled faintly: "Your eyes contain malice, your face reveals a cold aura, and there is a flash of blood-light gathered on your head that will not dissipate. I bet that within 24 hours, you will definitely meet with a bloody disaster."

"Twenty years ago, you caused a car accident to kill your elder brother and sister-in-law. Have you ever thought that twenty years later, you might also die in a car accident?"

"Hahaha, utter nonsense!" Xia Guoqiang laughed loudly, and he roared with a ferocious face: "If I'm good at anything, it's that my Life is tough. Chen Yu, you let me go today, one day you will definitely regret it. Let's wait and see."

"Go well, I won't see you off," Chen Yu smiled.

"Xia Tian, you, you shouldn't have let him go. His methods are very cruel; he just wanted to kill me," Xia Junshan was somewhat alarmed.

"When he wanted to kill me, you were very calm. You said it was the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest," Xia Tian smiled: "Only when he wanted to destroy you did you feel afraid and feel the need to kill this person. Xia Junshan, your Life is more important than mine, isn't it?"

"I... I didn't mean that. You are supposed to take over the Xia Clan; I will hand the Xia Clan over to you tomorrow," Xia Junshan's face showed shame.

"Not needed," Xia Tian said proudly: "I, Xia Tian, conduct myself with integrity and earn money through my own ability. Even after leaving your Xia Family, I can still survive."

"Are you crazy? You don't even want the hundred billion in assets of the Xia Clan?" Xia Junshan was shocked.

"You keep it and take it to your coffin, or you can hand it to someone else—my second uncle, my cousin, anyone will do," Xia Tian sneered: "You can give it to whoever you want; I don't want it anymore."

"Xia Tian, don't be impulsive. I know you are angry, but I am going to hand the Xia Clan to you. I will convene a board meeting immediately," Xia Junshan was anxious.

It was impossible for him to hand the Xia Clan to Xia Guoqiang and his son. If they came to power, the first thing they would do is kill him. Now, the only direct descendant of the Xia Clan left was Xia Tian. If he didn't accept it, what would happen to the Xia Clan?

"Chen Yu, let's go," Xia Tian smiled, turned around, and said.

"Good, let's go," Chen Yu nodded, and together with Xia Tian, they left this place without looking back.

"Xia Tian, come back, Xia Tian!" Xia Junshan stood up and shouted, but Xia Tian never looked back.

He stared blankly as Xia Tian left the place, then his vision went black, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"I am no longer the heir to the Xia Family. Do you still consider me a brother?" Xia Tian asked.

"You are my brother. That has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are the heir to the Xia Clan," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "We will still be brothers in the future."

"Good, haha, from now on I'll strike out on my own. I don't need to live in fear within the Xia Clan, nor do I need to deal with anyone," Xia Tian laughed heartily: "It really feels relaxing, and I feel that the future is promising."

"Yes, the future is promising," Chen Yu nodded slightly, and the two laughed heartily as they left the place.

"Fine, Xia Tian, you let me go, one day I will definitely make you regret it." Xia Guoqiang left the Xia Clan with his remaining subordinates.

He cursed and swore: "And that old bald donkey Wuding, claiming to be a Dharma Cultivator—bullshit! He couldn't even deal with one Chen Yu. How does he have the nerve to call himself a Dharma Cultivator?"

"I will be back," Xia Guoqiang turned his head to look at the Xia Family Courtyard, and he gritted his teeth: "Since you dared to leave me this path to live, then I dare to make you regret it. Just you wait."

"Boss Xia, what do we do now?" a subordinate asked with a gloomy face: "Are we just going to let it go like this?"

"Of course we won't just let it go. Don't worry, we will return," Xia Guoqiang gritted his teeth and said.

"Then what about the things you promised us?" The subordinate took a step forward and blocked Xia Guoqiang's path.

This subordinate of Xia Guoqiang was named Laolang, who had returned from abroad; he had a mercenary team, and Xia Guoqiang had promised him a lot of money.

"The things I promised you, you will definitely get. Don't worry," Xia Guoqiang stared at Laolang: "But you are blocking my path now. What are you trying to do? Rebel?"

"Heh, Boss Xia, I brought my brothers back from abroad to enjoy life with you, not to be a stray dog with you," Laolang sneered: "Now that you have lost your power, we don't ask for anything else, just for the payment that belongs to us."

"I have always kept my word; nothing that is owed to you will be missing," Xia Guoqiang said angrily: "But you have to give me some time."

"Fine, I'll give you time. How long do you need? A month? A year? Ten years?" Laolang smiled: "You are a stray dog now and can't come up with that much, but my brothers can't have made this trip for nothing. Think of a way."

"Good, good," Xia Guoqiang laughed in extreme anger, and suddenly he pulled a gun from his waist and pulled the trigger, aiming at Laolang's forehead.

Click, click... The sound of the firing pin hitting an empty magazine rang out, and only then did Xia Guoqiang realize that the gun in his hand was empty.

"I knew you wouldn't play by the rules, so the bullets in your gun were removed by me long ago," Laolang said sinisterly: "Xia Guoqiang, my brothers never leave empty-handed."

"My assets are currently frozen. Give me some time to recover, and I will find a way," Xia Guoqiang's expression was very ugly.

"Sorry, we don't want empty checks," the man spread his hands: "Because we've been fooled before."

"Then what do you want me to do? I need time to raise the money, damn it!" Xia Guoqiang roared.
