Chapter 2144 - 2145: The Furious King
When Dragon Head found that woman and saw Ye Fanchen, he dropped to his knees with a thud on the ground. "Little Uncle..."
If Ye Xunhuan were here and saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked beyond belief!
From appearances, Ye Fanchen only looked about fifty or so, about the same age as Dragon Head, but who would have thought he was actually Dragon Head’s little uncle!
But in fact, Ye Fanchen really was Dragon Head’s little uncle, and countless people knew about this.
"Little Uncle, Ye Huang is unfilial!"
As he spoke, Dragon Head knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ye Fanchen.
Ye Fanchen looked at Dragon Head right before him, his eyes slightly reddening, his face full of bitterness and guilt. "Get up, get up!"
Dragon Head slowly rose from the ground and looked up at Ye Fanchen. "Little Uncle..."
"These twenty-some years have been hard on you!" Ye Fanchen looked at Dragon Head with a face full of guilt and said, "If it weren’t for me, you probably wouldn’t have ended up like this today..."
"Little Uncle, it’s not your fault, none of this can be blamed on you, you already did your best!" Dragon Head immediately shook his head. "And for that, your legs..."
Ye Fanchen gave a bitter smile. "Whether I have my legs or not doesn’t matter. What does matter is..."
Ye Fanchen didn’t continue, instead he let out a heavy sigh, his face full of dejection and remorse.
Right after, Ye Fanchen abruptly changed the subject. "Where’s that kid Xunhuan?"
"Little Uncle, you don’t need to worry about him. By the time I got there, he was already gone; he should have already left!" Dragon Head said softly. "But don’t worry, I’ll think of a way to find him later. I definitely won’t let anything happen to him!"
Ye Fanchen nodded. "He’s your big brother’s only bloodline. Even if it costs us our lives, we have to keep him alive!"
"Little Uncle, don’t worry, I know what I should do!" Dragon Head said at once. "And when I left Broken Cliff Residence, I left behind the five characters ’Ye Family’s Eighteen Riders’!"
"Those are exactly the words that should be left behind!" Ye Fanchen’s face slowly grew darker, and at the same time, a sinister gloom flickered in his eyes. "If they hadn’t stopped us back then, how would things have gotten to this point today!"
"How could Xunhuan have wandered outside for more than twenty years, and how would you be here playing Dragon Head!" Ye Fanchen said through gritted teeth. "It’s about time they paid their due!"
"But some debts must be collected by Xunhuan himself!"
Dragon Head said nothing. As for the Ye family, he really didn’t have much affection left now. Just like that old freak said back in the capital—if it weren’t for the Ye family, how would things have ended up like this?
And in all his years serving as Dragon Head, who in the Ye family had truly cared about him, asked after him?
"Ye Huang, once you find Xunhuan, have him come see me. There are some things that it’s time he was told!" Ye Fanchen suddenly shifted the topic.
"Little Uncle, you really plan to tell him now, and not wait two more days..."
"It has to be said sooner or later. What difference is there between saying it now and saying it in two days?"
Is there a difference?
The answer was clear: there was basically no difference.
If you had to say there was any difference, it was only that Ye Xunhuan could live carefree for two more days. As for any other difference, there simply wasn’t one.
"Got it!" Dragon Head nodded immediately. "I’ll have him come over tomorrow morning then!"
"Today, once I find him, I’ll talk with him first, give him a bit of a heads-up so he doesn’t get too overwhelmed."
Ye Fanchen nodded. "Let’s do it that way."
"Little Uncle, you rest well first. I’ll go check outside."
Ye Fanchen was very clear that what Dragon Head meant by checking outside was to see when the King would come, and to see how the outside situation was shaking out after this incident!
After all, something as big as the massacre at Broken Cliff Residence was simply not something the King could suppress.
"Go." Ye Fanchen didn’t stop Dragon Head, nor did he hold onto him to reminisce here.
In Ye Fanchen’s view, there would be plenty of time in the future to slowly talk with Dragon Head. Right now the most important thing was to get proper business done first!
After Dragon Head left, that woman said to Ye Fanchen, "Elder Ye, please rest for a while, I’ll..."
"Ling Yun, sit down and talk with me." Ye Fanchen said softly. "Tell me how you all have been living these years, tell me about the landscape these years..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun paused in thought for a moment, then sat down to the side and began talking quietly with Ye Fanchen.
......
When Ye Xunhuan returned to the hotel, Olivia immediately had the hotel send up some disinfectant and hemostatic medicine and did a simple bandaging of the wounds on his body.
After she finished bandaging Ye Xunhuan’s wounds, Olivia said to him, "When do you plan to go look for Ye Fanchen?"
"Let’s watch how things are outside first." Ye Xunhuan said softly. "So many people died in Broken Cliff Residence, the King will definitely be so mad his three corpses jump in rage."
On this point, Olivia nodded in deep agreement. Let alone the King—even if it were her, she would be hopping mad.
"I just don’t want to finally see him and then immediately get targeted by the King. That’d be a bit more loss than gain."
Olivia nodded. "Alright then, you focus on healing for now, I’ll keep an eye on things outside for you!"
"No need, someone will keep watch on this matter better than we ever could!"
"Who?"
"Dragon Head!" Ye Xunhuan said with great certainty. "If anything happens, he’ll definitely inform us. All we have to do is stay here, rest up, and quietly wait!"
"How come I suddenly realize you trust this Dragon Head of Huaxia of yours quite a lot."
"Although I don’t think much of him, I still have to admit he’s actually a pretty decent person." Ye Xunhuan said quite objectively. "And if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have made it to where I am today."
Since Ye Xunhuan put it that way, Olivia didn’t have much left to say. "Alright then, I’ll listen to you!"
......
Time flew by like a white steed flashing past a crack. When the setting sun sank in the west, the King arrived in Flower City.
After the King reached Flower City, he headed straight for Broken Cliff Residence.
When he arrived at Broken Cliff Residence and saw the devastation before him, it was like he was struck by lightning, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
There was not a trace left of the former picturesque beauty of Broken Cliff Residence. It was nothing but the scene of a fire after the flames had been doused. Ashes everywhere, the beautiful scenery from before completely gone without a trace.
Looking at the scene before him, the King’s face turned ashen, and killing intent began to flicker in his eyes.
Even though he hadn’t gone inside yet, what lay before him already told him that it would only be more horrifying within!
"Who was it?" The King immediately growled. "Who destroyed my Broken Cliff Residence!"
"Once I find out, I’ll tear you into ten thousand pieces!"
