1049: Chapter 1050: Death Penalty Can Be Spared, Living Sin Cannot Be Excused!

“Xiao Chen, you!

How did you get here!”

Yin Que’s listless eyes suddenly sparkled with surprise and urgency, “Quick, run!

You can’t fight them.”

Yin Que’s thoughts were simple, she was very thankful that Xiao Chen came to help her.

But Xiao Chen was just a live-in son-in-law, how could he possibly fight against the entire Duanmu Family.

The Duanmu Family was a Black Gold Aristocrat after all.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Be at ease, I’ve said I would protect you, so I will make sure it happens.

You need to understand that in this world, there are still people who care about you, not everyone is as despicable as Duanmu Lin.”

“I–”

Yin Que wanted to say something, but seeing Xiao Chen’s resolute expression, she found herself at a loss for words.

“Heh, just like your mother, you’re a bitch, so quickly hooked up with Xiao Chen.”

Duanmu Lin sneered, “But do you think by hooking up with him, you can keep yourself safe?”

“Slap!”

Before Duanmu Lin could finish his sentence, his face was met with a slap.

Sending him tumbling from his chair to the ground.

Duanmu Lin was completely stunned.

He was the Family Head of the Duanmu Family.

Xiao Chen actually slapped him in front of all these people.

He must be insane.

“Xiao Chen, you unfilial son, I am your father, how dare you hit me!”

Duanmu Lin roared.

Xiao Chen looked at Duanmu Lin with detached eyes and said, “Do you deserve it?

Not to mention that it’s uncertain whether you’re my father, even if you really were, what’s wrong with hitting a base creature like you, let alone killing you?”

“You will go to Hell!”

Duanmu Lin shouted.

“Hell?

Hah, even in Hell, I would be King Yama.”

Xiao Chen sneered, “If the Duanmu Family hadn’t offended me, it would have been one thing, but you did, so I will make you understand what regret means.

Yin Que, come with me.”

“You dare!”

Duanmu Lin stood up, furious.

“Dad, kill him, this brat is too arrogant, we must teach him a lesson.”

“Kill him, how dare he hit the Family Head of our Duanmu Family, he’s courting death.”

Everyone from the Duanmu Family was bellowing, as if their tails had been stepped on.

Only Fang Bingnan was hiding silently in the crowd, not daring to make a sound.

Xiao Chen, this madman, dared to hit anyone, and he didn’t want to provoke him.

“A bunch of good-for-nothings, scum of society, it’s people like you who make this society a mess.”

Xiao Chen said coldly, “Kill me?

Come at me all at once, do you think I’m afraid?

Make it clear, this is Xiongcheng City, not Chaoyang City.

I clearly warned you, coming to Xiongcheng City to cause trouble, you should know what the consequences would be.”

“You…”

Duanmu Lin was so angry his face turned red, today was truly a disgrace.

Being slapped by his own son, it was truly infuriating.

And so shameful.

“Fine, fine, I won’t deal with this slap for now, whether you acknowledge me as your father or not.

In any case, you must not change your trip to Tajin Country.

Yin Que must go too, do you still want to save her?

Not a chance!”

Duanmu Lin shouted, “Continue, we must teach Yin Que a lesson today, no one can stop us.”

“I’d like to see who dares!”

Xiao Chen said coldly, “Whosoever lays a hand on Yin Que, their corpse will serve as your example.

I, for one, have killed quite a few people in the army, so my hands are rather heavy.

Don’t irritate me, or else no one here today will leave alive.”

“Go ahead, pay him no mind.”

Duanmu Lin said coldly.

A formidable figure strode out from beside him, walking indifferently towards Yin Que.

“Kid, step aside, or I’ll beat you up as well.”

This was an incredibly robust man.

Much more powerful than the previous Hu Hai.

He was already a first-rank Great Grandmaster.

Just standing there, his presence terrified Yin Que to the core.

Xiao Chen cracked a smile, then suddenly made his move.

He planted a kick right below the burly man’s belt.

Even for a first-rank Great Grandmaster, that spot remained a weakness.

Struck by the kick, the man instantly curled into a ball and rolled around on the ground in agony.

It was too painful.

Too unbearable.

“Xiao Chen,” you’re challenging the Duanmu Family, aren’t you?

I had intended to spare your life considering you are, after all, my son’s sake, but you’ve gone too far.

You’re challenging my authority, the authority of the Duanmu Family.”

Duanmu Lin’s face grew even uglier.

He looked like an inflated balloon, ready to burst at any moment.

“Heh, don’t make it sound so noble.

You just wanted to use me, that’s all.

As if you had any concern for your son.

And what authority does your Duanmu Family have to strut around in front of me?”

Xiao Chen retorted with a cold laugh.

“Tie Ta, kill him for me,” Duanmu Lin roared.

Tie Ta was the strongest expert Duanmu Lin had brought with him this time, a fifth-rank Great Grandmaster.

The real powerhouses of the Duanmu Family were guarding their home; they’d not easily take action.

“Dad, no, if you kill him, what am I going to do?

He’s meant to go to Africa in my place,” Duanmu Yun exclaimed in panic.

“Hold on!”

Duanmu Lin snapped back to his senses.

His earlier rage had led to the order to kill Xiao Chen.

But now that he thought it over, he took a real fright.

If Xiao Chen died, he’d have to send Duanmu Yun to Africa.

After all, he was his only son.

“Humph, you may escape death, but you won’t escape punishment,” Duanmu Lin said coldly.

“Today, you have severely provoked the authority of the Duanmu Family.

Tie Ta, seize him and teach him a lesson.

But remember, don’t cripple or kill him.

A good beating will suffice.

After all, he won’t meet a good end in Tajin Country anyway.”

Hearing this, Duanmu Family members smirked coldly.

Xiao Chen had walked right into their trap.

They had been contemplating how to forcibly bring Xiao Chen over without alarming Jiang Meng.

Now they could simply capture Xiao Chen and send him off to Africa with Yin Que, and that would settle matters.

Tie Ta approached Xiao Chen.

The rest of the Duanmu Family’s experts instantly blocked the exit.

“Xiao Chen, since you’re so intent on protecting Yin Que, then it’s perfect.

Both of you can go to Africa together; it will be good for you to look after each other on the way,” Duanmu Lin sneered.

“Let him go!”

Yin Que stood up, holding the small dagger she always carried.

Known in ancient times as the chastity dagger, it was meant for suicide in the face of dishonor.

Of course, it could also be used to kill.

Yin Que pressed the dagger to her own throat and said, “I will do as you say, but you must not harm him.

Otherwise, I will die right here.”

Although she usually submitted to adversity, when it came to protecting a person or thing she cared about, she was truly prepared to fight to the death.

She would never allow someone who was kind to her to get hurt because of her.

“Hmph!”

Tie Ta sneered dismissively, swiftly snatching the dagger from Yin Que’s hand.

“This thing can kill?

Looks more like it’s meant for peeling apples,” he mocked.

Yin Que turned deathly pale, realizing that she couldn’t even protect someone or commit suicide if she wanted to.

The Black Iron Aristocrats were too frightening.

The Duanmu Family was too powerful.

“Brother Xiao Chen, I’m sorry, I’m really useless.”

She gave a miserable laugh.
