Chapter 2125: Giant Clan
"Leave, you’re not welcome here!"
Old Hemingway’s attitude was unexpectedly firm.
Xiao Zheng frowned, his heart filled with helplessness.
He really couldn’t deal with this stubborn old man, not able to kill or fight him.
Just as Xiao Zheng was feeling very conflicted, someone suddenly opened the door and walked in.
The person returning was Old Hemingway’s son, named John Hemingway.
John froze at the doorway when he saw a stranger in the house.
Old Hemingway glanced at him and immediately stood up and said, "John, help me kick this person out! I absolutely won’t allow someone like this to step foot into our Hemingway Family!"
Upon hearing his father’s words, John’s expression instantly turned a bit awkward: "Are you here to buy that bone too?"
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I’m not only here to buy that bone but also to save you. If you don’t sell the Golden Bone soon, it will definitely bring disaster upon you."
Upon hearing this, John’s face became visibly darker.
Clearly, it wasn’t the first time he had heard someone say such things.
John turned to Old Hemingway and said, "How many groups of people have come now? Why don’t you want to sell the bone? The so-called glory of the Hemingway Family, the Hemingway Family has already become history!"
It was clear that he was different from Old Hemingway.
Xiao Zheng’s eyes lit up, thinking John might be a breakthrough.
If John could persuade Old Hemingway, perhaps Xiao Zheng could take the Golden Bone away from the Hemingway Family.
However, to Xiao Zheng’s surprise, Old Hemingway’s attitude was exceptionally resolute: "Dream on! Unless I’m dead, I absolutely won’t sell that Golden Bone!"
"If you dare say anything like that again, I’ll kick you out of the house immediately!"
Old Hemingway appeared extremely angry, his cane continuously and heavily thumping on the wooden floor.
The ground shook as if it was about to puncture the floor.
John was angry inside but also felt helpless.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng sighed inwardly, then stood up and said, "Since the old gentleman isn’t willing to sell the Golden Bone, I won’t disturb you. However, I hope the old gentleman will reconsider. This is my number; if you change your mind, you can contact me. I promise to offer you a satisfactory price."
After placing his business card on the table, he stood up and left.
Before getting far, Xiao Zheng heard the sound of arguing coming from the house behind him...
Even though this visit to the Hemingway Family wasn’t smooth, Xiao Zheng didn’t intend to give up.
Despite Old Hemingway’s resolute attitude, Xiao Zheng had ways to get the Golden Bone.
His plan was strategic waiting.
Since a group from the Ancient Clan had already set their sights on the Hemingway Family, he only needed to wait in the shadows for the Ancient Clan to arrive. Given their unrelenting methods, they wouldn’t be courteous with Old Hemingway.
At that time, Xiao Zheng simply needed to intervene at the right moment and snatch the Golden Bone from these people’s hands.
With this plan in mind, he found a nearby inn to stay.
He didn’t stay at a hotel because there weren’t any in the vicinity.
Although the inn was small, it was fortunately very clean.
Moreover, the room had a good view; outside the window was a road, and beyond that was the building where Old Hemingway lived. The open view allowed Xiao Zheng to keep an eye on any suspicious individuals.
"Now I can patiently wait for the Ancient Clan to show up."
"Eugene mentioned that it seems the Giant Clan is also eyeing the Golden Bone. I wonder how strong the Giant Clan is."
Xiao Zheng’s gaze passed through the window, landing on Old Hemingway’s house, filled with anticipation.
Because it required a waiting process, he wasn’t anxious.
As long as the Giant Clan appeared, Xiao Zheng would sense it, and then he sat down cross-legged aside to begin cultivating.
It’s unclear how much time had passed, but suddenly two powerful forces appeared on the street outside.
Xiao Zheng suddenly awoke, an excitement flickering in his open eyes.
"Finally, they’ve come!"
He glanced at his watch, realizing it was past three in the morning.
By this time, there were basically no people outside.
The darkness was vast, and even the streetlights were off; indeed it was convenient for the Giant Clan to act.
Xiao Zheng quickly stood up and went to the window.
He lifted a corner of the curtain, then saw two tall figures rapidly flying towards the location of the Hemingway Family. Clearly, they had detailed information about the Hemingway Family.
The names of these two members of the Giant Clan were Leo and Alphonso, both were strong individuals of the Giant Clan.
Both were at the Transcendent Realm, one in the early stage, the other mid-stage.
Their strength was much more formidable than those elves.
Xiao Zheng noticed that Leo and Alphonso did not, like Eugene, deliberately hide their forms. Their physiques were incredibly tall and robust, each standing over four meters high.
Standing on the dark, deserted street, they were like two iron towers!
Coupled with their fierce aura, they appeared even more formidable!
"It should be here without a doubt."
Leo looked at the building where Old Hemingway lived and said in a muffled voice.
Following his words, Alphonso nodded and said, "The information indicates this address. Let’s quickly move. We need to act decisively and neatly. If Carl receives word, it will be very hard for us to leave with the Golden Bone."
Although they all came from the Ancient World, for the Golden Bone, there exists a competitive relationship among the clans, fighting against each other.
To prevent news of the Golden Bone from leaking, Alphonso and Leo acted very cautiously.
If Xiao Zheng hadn’t come to this place in time to set an ambush, they might indeed’ve succeeded.
After pinpointing Old Hemingway’s residence, Alphonso and Leo immediately began their action.
Their methods were brutal, Alphonso punched the upstairs, and a single punch shattered the door of Old Hemingway’s home. The loud commotion could be heard even from a street away by Xiao Zheng.
Meanwhile, the residents of the entire building were awakened.
Yet no one dared to leave their homes; instead, they trembled behind closed doors.
Although Alphonso and Leo hadn’t unleashed their full aura, the faint murderous air emanating from them was already enough to intimidate everyone.
"Who are you!"
"Why are you breaking into my home!"
John was the first to wake from a deep sleep, with a four or five-year-old boy nestled in his arms.
Upon hearing him, Alphonso said rudely, "Where’s the Golden Bone? Hurry up and hand it over!"
Upon hearing his words, John’s heart instantly sank to rock bottom!
