CHAPTER 1377 THE CHANCE TO LIVE
It felt like the person Fang Qiu thought he knew well had suddenly become very strange.
Fang Qiu looked at how Heishan's expression had changed so drastically and didn't say anything.
"Right now, there's a chance right in front of you and it can help you to advance even further. Fang Qiu, you must cherish it.”
Heishan's expression became friendly again.
But Fang Qiu's mind was still filled with the furious and murderous expression he had earlier!
A chance to advance even further?
The Fang family always chose their next head depending on whose level of martial arts was higher, whose natural gifting was better, who was more capable and who was able to lead the Fang family to greater heights. Did one actually have to take a side and garner votes from the members of the family?
The reclusive clans were supposed to have cut themselves off from the ways of the world, so how could they possibly go back to being the way the world was?
Fang Qiu opened his mouth to speak, "What are you trying to say?”
"It's very simple. From today onwards, listen to me and I can make sure you become the next head of the family."
Heishan didn't speak very loudly, but every word rang loudly in Fang Qiu's ears.
Fang Qiu was stunned.
"You're still young and you don't understand many things. But by the time you do understand them, it'll be too late," said Heishan quietly. "Enough, this matter should end here. Go back and get a good rest and just pretend that you don't know anything."
Fang Qiu wanted to say more, but Heishan clearly wasn't going to let him talk and chased him out.
Heishan narrowed his eyes as he watched Fang Qiu walk out.
"So now you can do things without asking me for permission first? Yan Tang?!"
A figure walked out from the shadows. Heishan turned to glance at him and didn't hide the fury on his face at all.
"I asked you the last time whether you were on my side, or if you were on the side of that man who calls himself His Lordship. And how did you answer me?"
"Of course, I remain loyal to you, Mr Heishan," said Yan Tang resolutely even though there was no expression on his face.
"Loyal to me? HA!"
Heishan glared at Yan Tang and instantly unleashed a terrifying aura.
PAK!
He raised his hand high and slapped Yan Tang across the face hard. Five red
fingermarks were clearly imprinted on Yan Tang's cheek.
But Yan Tang didn't say anything and didn't even budge. It was as if nothing happened at all.
"You're really bold!” Heishan hit the roof.
"How dare you go against me!"
"I wouldn't dare," said Yan Tang respectfully as he bowed his head. "I have always been loyal to you and listened to all your commands. I have remained in hiding next to His Lordship and I've never done anything to betray you."
Heishan narrowed his eyes.
"You were the one who leaked information about the manual? And you even told Fang Qiu of all people?!" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking about?"
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to just silence Fang Qiu?!”
Heishan's roaring was as loud as thunder.
"I wouldn't dare.” Yan Tang's face was still expressionless and there was no change besides the bright red hand imprint on his face. "I did not tell Fang Qiu anything, he has maligned me."
He kept his head low and bowed slightly. No matter what Heishan said, he still had the same expression.
His tone was neutral and his face was emotionless.
Even if Heishan killed him with a slap right now, Yan Tang will still have this same expression on his face.
Heishan knew that very well.
"Yan Tang, Yan Tang. I gave you the chance to live, don't throw it away."
A murderous air flowed from Heishan's gaze, and it felt so real that the air around them seemed to have fallen by a few degrees.
