Chapter 2147 - 2120: Submit to Us
"If you see him as just a young man, then you’re doomed—he’s an even more terrifying prodigy than Lu Tianzhan was back in the day."
Sighing once more, Huang Zhengde spoke slowly, "If my guess is correct, the reason why the Third Young Master of the Lu Family hasn’t made a move yet is probably to warn us. It’s to tell us that what Yama Palace can give us, it can also take back. Without Yama Palace, the Huang Family is nothing, just an ant, meaningless. Yama Palace could easily wipe out the Huang Family without any effort."
Standing there, listening to Huang Zhengde’s words, Huang Yuanzheng felt a cold sweat break out, instantly soaking his back. He was terrified to the extreme, never imagining that the Third Young Master of the Lu Family could be this fearsome. Based on his subtle actions over the past few days, he deduced so much. If he had really chosen to betray Yama Palace, the Huang Family would have been uprooted in an instant.
Thinking of this, a hint of fear involuntarily appeared on Huang Yuanzheng’s face again, and at this moment, his apprehension towards Yama Palace reached its peak. He truly felt its terror—despite the Huang Family being the top power in Xiangjiang, in the eyes of Yama Palace, it was no different than an ant, easily crushed.
"Dad, I understand my mistake," Huang Yuanzheng took a deep breath and said.
"Since you know your mistake, that’s good. Don’t play clever tricks again. So-called cleverness in the face of absolute power is just a clown’s performance, merely a joke."
"I understand."
Huang Yuanzheng nodded heavily, glanced at the ongoing battle of the Huang Family’s bodyguards, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Dad, shouldn’t we ask for help from the expert arranged by the Third Young Master of the Lu Family? If this continues, we’re going to suffer great losses."
"No need."
Huang Zhengde took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "Consider this a lesson. When it’s necessary, the expert arranged by the Third Young Master of the Lu Family will intervene. If these people die and it can appease the Third Young Master of the Lu Family, then so be it. As long as we’re still with Yama Palace, the lost people will be replenished sooner or later. It’s not a big deal."
At this moment, Huang Zhengde finally displayed the cold-heartedness expected of a Clan Leader. To him, using the lives of these Huang Family bodyguards to calm Lu Tianxing was entirely worth it.
After hearing Huang Zhengde’s words, Huang Yuanzheng opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. He could only silently watch the battle in front of the villa, evidently tacitly agreeing with Huang Zhengde’s words—to use these Huang Family members’ lives to appease Lu Tianxing.
Meanwhile, during Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde’s conversation, the three intruding figures clad in black looked coldly at the battle inside the villa, with no emotion in their eyes. Even as black-clad figures died at the hands of the Huang Family, Yama Palace, and Yanhuang Group, their expressions remained unchanged, as if those dying were strangers, not the elite of the Tang Family.
The cold wind continued to blow, fluttering the robes of the three black-clad figures.
Despite the howling wind, these three felt no chill at this moment, for their hearts were filled with an undeniable coldness. Even the harsh wind couldn’t stir a single ripple of cold in their hearts.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the three motionless figures swiftly appeared inside the villa like phantoms, moving step by step towards Huang Zhengde and Huang Yuanzheng.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
A few Huang Family bodyguards attempting to approach them were struck by an invisible force before they could get close, crashing heavily to the ground. Blood mixed with shattered viscera spewed from their mouths, their whole bodies twitched twice before falling silent.
After taking out these bodyguards, the three black-clad figures continued walking forward, eventually stopping a few meters from Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde, their eyes fixed unwaveringly on the two without any change in their expression.
At this moment, both Huang Zhengde and Huang Yuanzheng raised their heads, looking at the three black-clad figures in the distance, equally unchanged, with no fear.
The five of them gazed at each other in silence.
At this moment, it seemed the whole world only contained Huang Yuanzheng, Huang Zhengde, and these three black-clad figures.
Suddenly, Huang Yuanzheng spoke slowly, "Who exactly are you, and didn’t you say you would give our Huang Family three days to consider? Why take action today?"
"We did give you three days to consider."
One of the black-clad figures spoke slowly, his voice raspy, "The three days were counted from when we left the Huang Family. It’s already past midnight, the fourth day now, where’s the breach of promise."
"As for our identity, Family Head Huang, you are not qualified to know."
The black-clad figure looked at Huang Yuanzheng, speaking calmly, "But there’s a saying that heaven has a virtue of life. Family Head Huang, if you don’t want the Huang Family to vanish into smoke, just agree to one condition, and I can spare the Huang Family. So, Family Head Huang, would you like to consider it?"
Hearing the figure’s words, a gleam flashed in Huang Yuanzheng’s eyes. He replied somewhat straightforwardly without humility, "What condition."
"Leave Yama Palace and submit to us."
The man in black regarded Huang Yuanzheng and said indifferently, "As long as you submit to us, I can ensure the safety of the Huang Family, and I will help eliminate the Zhao Long forces, allowing the Huang Family to become the most powerful family in Xiangjiang. Family Head Huang, you should consider it well—joining us is entirely beneficial to the Huang Family."
Upon hearing these words, Huang Yuanzheng was momentarily stunned, then started laughing wildly as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke, one filled with undeniable mockery.
"Family Head Huang, what are you laughing at?"
After hearing Huang Yuanzheng’s laughter, the expressions of the three black-clad figures immediately turned cold and harsh, releasing a chilling killing intent.
In an instant, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop to the extreme, freezing even the air.
