Chapter 481: Is that person Lin Yang?
Huo Zhifei asked.
"I don't know, what official business does Mr. Lin have to say?"
Lin Yang looked at the two and said calmly.
"Regarding you giving the Longevity Elixir to the Jiang Clan."
Huo Zhixiang said with a displeased expression.
"Didn't I just explain this to you?"
"That's business; don't you want us to do business?"
"Business?"
Lin Yang looked at Huo Zhixiang with a half-smile and said calmly.
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Or are you saying I'm making this claim without any evidence?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhidong and the other exchanged a glance, both furrowing their brows.
Lin Yang looked at the two and continued speaking.
"Evidence has already been found in the southwest; must I really produce it and cause a rupture?"
Huo Zhidong was shocked and uncertain, and Huo Zhixiang also remained silent.
After a moment of silence, Huo Zhidong said.
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Yang said calmly: "What I want is simple."
"Sever ties with the Jiang Clan."
As soon as the words fell, Huo Zhixiang immediately refused.
"Impossible!"
"Marrying into the Jiang Clan was approved by our whole family!"
"We cannot abandon it just because of your words!"
Lin Yang stood up, his face calm, and said.
"I'm not negotiating with you; I'm informing you of the outcome."
"You can refuse, and I can take back what I gave you."
"I give you three days to consider."
"After three days, I will kill Yang Shaocheng, and then you will give me your answer."
Saying this, he glanced upstairs and shouted loudly.
"I'm leaving!"
After Lin Yang left the Huo Family, Huo Zhixiang said angrily.
"This brat is really too arrogant, daring to speak to us Huo Family like that!"
"Just because he developed the Longevity Elixir, he's so arrogant and overbearing!"
"He'll surely get into trouble sooner or later!"
As soon as Huo Zhixiang finished speaking, Lin Yang's voice came from outside.
"That's not something you should worry about."
"If I hear such words from you again, you deserve a beating."
Hearing Lin Yang's words, Huo Zhixiang laughed angrily.
At his age of several decades, he had never been threatened in his own home.
He snorted coldly and said to Lin Yang.
"Is that so? Then let's see what you can do to me."
Standing outside, Lin Yang extended his hand and delivered a One Slap from afar at Huo Zhixiang.
Standing inside, Huo Zhixiang felt a tremendous force transmitted to his hand.
His whole body flew sideways and slammed into the wall.
"Next time you make noise, I'll knock out your teeth!"
Huo Zhixiang covered his face, his expression one of disbelief.
Unbelievable that someone would actually strike him in the Huo Family.
He wanted to shout in anger, but Huo Zhidong immediately covered his mouth.
"Second brother, don't speak!"
"Lin Yang keeps his word!"
Thinking back, when we were in the southwest, I also suffered at Lin Yang's hands.
And upstairs, Huo Yanfei watched all this with a look of disbelief.
She returned indoors and said to Huo Shui Xian.
"Sister, is your husband always this fierce? He even dares to hit Second Uncle!"
Hearing her younger sister's words, Huo Yanfei seemed to recall something.
"In his eyes, there is no such thing as nobility or power."
"Anyone who displeases him, regardless of status, he dares to act against."
As she said this, Huo Shui Xian's mouth corners slightly rose.
Looking at her sister's expression, Huo Yanfei narrowed her eyes and gave a wicked smile.
"Sister, it seems you were conquered just like that."
Come on, tell me—is he also that formidable in other areas?
Hearing her sister's words, Huo Shui Xian's face instantly turned red.
She pointed a finger at Huo Yanfei's brow.
"You little brat, all you do is daydream."
"Be careful I tell Dad, and have her get you a priest to purify your mind."
Huo Yanfei, upon hearing that, immediately ran off.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Huo Zhixiang glared at his older brother with a displeased face.
"Older brother, are you really that afraid of that kid?"
"Look at that kid—he's riding on our Huo Family's head!"
Hearing his younger brother's words, Huo Zhidong sighed and said.
"Second brother, you'd better not say such things."
"He... really is different from ordinary youths."
Huo Zhixiang, upon hearing that, slammed the table and said.
"You're just boosting others' ambition while destroying your own prestige!"
"If this gets out, where will we put the Huo Family's face?"
Just as Huo Zhixiang was fuming, the Huo family patriarch walked in, holding a birdcage, leisurely.
Seeing his father return, Huo Zhixiang said.
"Dad, the older brother is really too cowardly!"
"I was hit by a junior, and he actually told me not to fight back!"
"You say, isn't this losing face for our Huo Family?"
The patriarch, upon hearing that, couldn't help but furrow his brow.
He looked at Huo Zhidong and asked.
"Is that really the case?"
Huo Zhidong nodded and said, "Second brother was indeed beaten."
The patriarch, upon hearing that, immediately let out a cold snort and said.
"Then how did you settle it?"
"Isn't our Huo Family's face worth anything?"
Watching his father get angry, Huo Zhixiang's mouth curled up slightly.
If this matter, if his father stood on his side.
The next head of the family might very well be him.
He said, "If it weren't for the older brother stopping me, I would immediately bring people to wipe out that kid!"
"A kid from the inland dares to be so arrogant!"
"From the inland?"
The patriarch became even angrier, and he said.
"Someone from the inland dares to be so arrogant—tell me, what's that person's name and where is he!"
"Old man, I'll go bring people right now to give him a beating."
Hearing his father's words, Huo Zhixiang became even happier.
Just then, Huo Zhidong said calmly.
"Dad, the one who hit the second brother is Lin Yang."
"I don't care whether he's Lin Yang..."
The patriarch's words came to an abrupt halt.
He looked at Huo Zhidong and asked.
"You're saying Lin Yang?"
Huo Zhidong nodded and said.
"Yes."
"Dad, never mind whether that kid is Lin Yang—just bring people now to wipe him out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the patriarch backhanded him with One Slap.
"Cut the crap!"
"Lin Yang is my benefactor, and also the Huo Family's benefactor!"
"If it weren't for him, the Huo Family would have already destroyed itself, and I would have been dead long ago!"
"Are you trying to make me repay kindness with enmity?"
"I think hitting you was letting you off easy!"
"You still want to take revenge without even measuring your own strength! Pah!"
Having said that, he walked away cursing.
The beaten Huo Zhixiang covered his face, looking dazed.
How can the patriarch change his face so quickly?
Just now, didn't he say he wanted to go beat someone together with me?
Now, how did he end up hitting me?
Thinking about the patriarch's words just now, he suddenly realized.
Earlier, the news transmitted from the southwest.
The old man was healed in the southwest.
This person is obviously Lin Yang.
He looked at Huo Zhidong, narrowed his eyes, and asked with a hint of resentment.
"You already knew?"
Huo Zhidong said lightly.
"I didn't expect you would tell your father about this."
