Chapter 288: Iron Sect Leader
Liao Feiying’s face was a mask of fury as he arrived at the main gate.
Two bodyguards lay dead at the entrance.
Liao Feiying couldn’t recognize them. Their heads had been smashed, making them completely unidentifiable.
A large crowd of Liao Family servants had gathered at the gate, every one of them silent.
Seeing the look on Liao Feiying’s face, they grew deeply worried.
Sure enough, Liao Feiying erupted in fury.
"Damn it! Which bastard did this?"
A nearby servant answered, trembling with fear:
"Patriarch, we never saw the killer. By the time we found them, he was long gone!"
Hearing this, Liao Feiying trembled with rage. His fists were clenched so tightly they crackled.
"What are you all standing around for? Get the security footage, now!"
Liao Feiying snarled.
Soon, he was watching the security footage.
As the scene played out on the monitor, Liao Feiying’s face turned green with rage.
The footage showed a small car pulling up slowly. Then, Qin Tuo stepped out of the driver’s seat.
The moment he saw Qin Tuo, Liao Feiying’s eyes practically shot flames.
After all the recent trouble, Liao Feiying had seen photos of Qin Tuo, so he recognized him instantly.
On the screen, Qin Tuo overpowered the two bodyguards and tossed them onto the ground in front of the gate.
Then, he acted decisively, crushing one of the men’s heads in a single motion!
After doing all this, Qin Tuo looked up and stared provocatively at the Liao Family’s security camera before swaggering off without a care in the world.
Watching the footage, Liao Feiying was so furious he was speechless.
"Patriarch, calm down!"
Just then, the butler hurried back.
Seeing this, he understood completely: Qin Tuo had just brutally trampled the Liao Family’s dignity into the dust.
Liao Feiying closed his eyes and spoke, enunciating each word.
"I swear, I will kill that bastard!"
Everyone could feel the fierce determination in his voice and couldn’t help but shudder.
They all knew that in its hundred-year history, the glorious Liao Family had never suffered such a provocation.
Qin Tuo’s actions had stoked the murderous intent in Liao Feiying’s heart to an unprecedented level.
Liao Feiying’s eyes snapped open. He had made a decision.
"Hear my order! Concentrate all of the family’s resources and go after Qin Tuo, no matter the cost! I’ll make that brat pay with his life!"
The group of Liao Family members didn’t dare to disobey. They nodded respectfully, preparing to move out.
But the butler at his side quickly spoke up to stop him.
"You can’t, Patriarch! This is far too impulsive. Please, reconsider!"
Liao Feiying shot him a cold glance and asked:
"What do you mean by that?"
If anyone else had dared to object at a time like this, Liao Feiying would have already smashed their head in with a single punch.
But this butler had served him for many years and was both brave and clever. At critical junctures, Liao Feiying had grown accustomed to hearing him out.
The butler paused to think for a moment, then spoke slowly.
"Patriarch, our most urgent task right now should be to focus on liquidating the Jiang Family’s assets!"
These words were a sudden reminder for Liao Feiying, and he fell into thought.
Seeing that Liao Feiying was calming down, the butler continued.
"Patriarch, you may not be aware, but Rose Hall has been eyeing the Jiang Family’s assets covetously. They’ve been making moves recently, and I’m worried things could get complicated."
Hearing this, Liao Feiying broke out in a cold sweat.
He suddenly realized that if he went after Qin Tuo with everything he had, he would leave himself vulnerable, creating an opening for Rose Hall to swoop in and seize the Jiang Family’s assets.
Besides, he was already stressed about money. He absolutely could not allow anyone else to plunder the Jiang Family’s assets.
So, Liao Feiying snorted coldly and said:
"Fine. The alliance meeting is tomorrow. I’ll put the other three families in their place and make sure they don’t dare try anything."
The butler immediately smiled.
"Yes, Patriarch. That is the best strategy."
Liao Feiying couldn’t resist adding with a sneer:
"Once I’ve liquidated the Jiang Family’s assets and gathered all the medicinal ingredients I need, I’ll make sure that Qin Tuo dies without a grave!"
At that moment, Qin Tuo had just left the Liao residence and was about to drive back.
After crushing the two bodyguards’ heads, he had deliberately shown his face to the camera. It was a clear message to the Liao Family: he was here, and they had better watch their backs.
This was only Qin Tuo’s first move. He had more plans in store.
Qin Tuo was determined to instill a deep-seated fear in the Liao Family, to make them regret their string of foolish actions.
Qin Tuo drove on, navigating several turns.
Suddenly, the faintest hint of a smile touched his lips.
He then slowly brought the car to a stop.
’Interesting. Someone’s actually tailing me?’
A strange feeling welled up in Qin Tuo.
He was always the one doing the tracking; he never expected to be the one being tailed.
Qin Tuo pulled the car over to the side of the road and got out, utterly composed.
A black sedan behind him did the same, pulling to a stop.
The doors opened, and two burly men and a middle-aged man in his fifties got out and walked toward him.
Qin Tuo sized up the middle-aged man leading them. He knew this was the one who had been tailing him.
The man walked over, his brow furrowed.
"You’re Qin Tuo, aren’t you? Was it you who killed my two disciples?"
Qin Tuo’s mind raced, and he suddenly understood the man’s identity.
"Oh? You’re from the Iron Sect?"
Qin Tuo asked casually.
The middle-aged man’s face was ashen as he said:
"That’s right. I am the Sect Leader of the Iron Sect, Wan Zongsheng. You killed my disciples, and I am here today to avenge them!"
Qin Tuo had assumed he was being followed by the Liao Family; he never expected it would be the Iron Sect.
And it was the Sect Leader himself who had come looking for him.
"Brat, just accept your fate. I’ll make your death a quick one!"
A look of profound hatred flashed in Wan Zongsheng’s eyes.
He had poured his heart and soul into training those two disciples. He had been grooming Wan Dong, in particular, as his successor.
But in the end, both had fallen at Qin Tuo’s hands.
After hearing the news of Wan Dong’s brutal death, Wan Zongsheng could no longer restrain himself and decided to come out of seclusion personally.
Looking at the seething Wan Zongsheng, Qin Tuo just laughed contemptuously.
"Let me give you some advice: if you’re not strong enough, don’t come here and throw your life away."
