Suspecting they had heard wrongly, they started gazing at Xie Limo seriously, as if they were trying to detect the truth of the statement they just heard.
But when they saw Xie Limo’s murderous gaze, their hearts quivered.
Was he really planning to do something against the Elder’s Home?
Had Young Master Xie gone mad?
The Elder’s Home was the Xie family headquarters’ most powerful influence, so his actions would likely have a domino effect.
Never mind the Elder’s Home, even the other halls at the headquarters wouldn’t agree to it.
Young Master Xie would possibly lose his position as the successor, and even his life would be in danger.
The Elder’s Home existed to restrain the master of the family and the successor. If the previous masters of the family could deal with Elder’s Home, they would long have done so and needn’t wait until now. Xie Limo wouldn’t be the first to strike if that was possible.
If there was a reason to explain why Second Elder landed in this predicament, it was because he had underestimated Xie Limo’s ruthlessness and ambitions. How dare he think of dealing with the Elder’s Home?!
It was no wonder then that Xie Limo dared to capture him and treat him this way.
“You’re crazy!” Second Elder stared at Xie Limo as if he was looking at a monster. How could he actually think of dealing with the Elder’s Home? By doing this, Xie Limo was pitting himself against the major influences at the headquarters.
Xie Limo glanced coldly at Second Elder then said calmly, “Second Elder, you people are the crazy ones. Because of power, you’re no longer true to yourselves. You even thought of dealing with my children. That’s why I must take action against the Elder’s Home.”
Second Elder felt cold all over due to Xie Limo’s chilly aura. “You… you… are really going to do this… cough cough…”
Xie Limo laughed coldly. “Even if I don’t do that, it’s time for you old fogeys to be replaced at the Elder’s Home.”
Second Elder was so furious he spat out blood, and his body started trembling. His actions, however, moved the iron chains, bringing about great pain all over his body and nonstop bleeding.
No one had ever called him an old fogey. Who dared call the people at Elder’s Home old fogeys?
Probably only Xie Limo dared to call them that.
“Xie Limo… You… once Dongfang Mujin returns to the headquarters… everyone will know about everything!”
Second Elder couldn’t be bothered to address him respectfully as Young Master Xie anymore, simply calling him by his name.
Xie Limo didn’t much care what he said. He stepped forward and grabbed Second Elder’s chin and said coldly, “Even if Dongfang Mujin doesn’t return, I will let one of you go back. It is my intention to let those ambitious people know not to cross my limits!”
Xie Limo spoke very coldly and with a murderous aura, making Second Elder and his subordinates so terrified their hearts were quivering.
They knew that Xie Limo was for real this time. They had truly crossed his limits.
Gazing at Xie Limo’s expression, Second Elder had a feeling he was about to do something big.
He recalled when Xie Limo was young and being groomed at Brocade Hall, everyone had discussed secretly about how this child was a rare genius to come by.
At that time, everyone had even thought of killing him. After all, they couldn’t allow a successor who could threaten them to exist.
But later, Xie Limo learned to conceal his greatness, and everyone couldn’t tell his true level of capability. Hence, they allowed him to live. However, as he got older, even when they tried to assassinate him in the dark, it didn’t work. In order not to be discovered, they stopped all their attempts.
