Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal-Novel2

Chapter 1063: Vomit Blood

Everyone was stunned. Hua Xiangyu stared with her mouth open. Bei Yuanqing turned pale as a ghost.

This Hong Dali definitely did it on purpose! On purpose!

This guy is so scheming! That’s unfair!

He “accidentally” uploaded the footage and showed the entire Royal Family how Bei Mingxuan and Zhu Yunzhou were embarrassed. Apart from losing face, they still had to pay Hong Dali twenty billion dollars for the book!

The problem was that the entire Royal Family witnessed the whole process. Could you go back on your words?

If you went back on your words in front of the entire Royal Family, how would the Bei Family survive in the future? Without their reputation, so what if they were one of the Big Three families? Nobody would care about you!

This time, Bei Yuanqing and Bei Mingxuan were truly depressed! Their hearts were bleeding. Their hands were trembling!

Bei Mingxuan’s face turned red, then white, then green, then purple, and finally black—his face was as black as coal. He stared at Hong Dali and gritted his teeth. “Hong Dali, you win! I admit defeat this time, but we’ll wait and see!”

“Great-grandfather, he’s threatening me!” Hong Dali hid behind Hong Xingyu. “I’m the victim here. He tore my book but is asking me to ‘wait and see’ now! Robbers! They’re all robbers!”

“Bei Mingxuan!” Hong Xingyu instantly stepped forward. “You bullied my sweetheart, yet you still dare to threaten him. Is this what the Bei Family teaches? Big Three families, on par with my Hong Family, that’s bullshit!”

Everyone was stunned. Trying to reason with Hong Dali was asking for trouble. It seemed like he was in the right no matter what he said!

He scammed twenty billion dollars from them, yet still made himself look like the victim...

“You need to pay me back. Pay me back!” Hong Dali pointed at Bei Mingxuan’s nose. “Pay first, then talk!”

Bei Mingxuan exhaled deeply, then yelled with rage, “Bring your card here!” After he took the card from Hong Xingyu, he directly transferred twenty billion dollars. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “It’s all settled now, right?! I admit defeat today. Broadcast this segment for me! Don’t let others think that I owe your Hong Family!”

“Alright, alright.” Hong Dali nodded, satisfied. “Since you’re so honorable, I’ll broadcast this...”

“Let’s go!” Bei Mingxuan did not want to stay any longer. He turned around and left as if a demon was chasing him from behind.

Just as he walked out of the front door, he heard Hong Dali exclaiming, “Aiya, Sister Xiaoyi, it’s really hard to make money. I was so tired just now. Seems like I’m not suitable for it. I’d much rather be a prodigal!”

The Elders in the Hong Family were all completely stunned. The color drained from Bei Mingxuan and Zhu Yunzhou’s faces.

They lost big today!

Hong Dali continued, “Speaking of which, a son spends a few million dollars to buy something, just to throw it away. Yet the dad bought it back again for a few billion dollars, just for a bunch of useless paper trash. They seriously have too much money. No wonder they’re called the royal family of the Royal Family. Amazing! Amazing! Aye, this is truly the waves at the back overtaking the waves in front! There’s no most squandering, only more squandering!”

“Puu—!!!” After he heard that, Bei Mingxuan suddenly covered his chest with his hands. His vision blurred and he vomited a huge mouthful of blood! He suffered a great loss today!

“Father!” Bei Yuanqing hurriedly held his father when he saw him vomiting blood. “Father, are you alright?”

How powerful was Bei Mingxuan? Peak of Star Sector-level. He was not too far behind Hong Xingyu. Yet, he vomited blood. It was obvious how pissed off he was this time.

“I’m fine.” He wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth. He felt much better, as if a pressure was relieved from his chest and abdomen. Although he could quickly recover from this, he would definitely not let go of this so easily. “Yuanqing, remember this. Today’s business is definitely far from over! Definitely! Hong Dali, I will skin him alive!”

“Definitely!” Bei Yuanqing gritted his teeth. He was so embarrassed today. “Hong Dali, I’ll kill him for sure!”

“You guys were embarrassed. Were we not?” Zhu Yunzhou also had a black face.

Zhu Yunzhou’s expression was ugly. Zhu Ningyu’s one was even uglier.

They had seriously lost too much face today.

Not only were they embarrassed for trying to renege the engagement, but the footage of the whole affair was also even uploaded by that bastard Hong Dali! It was uploaded!

How could Zhu Ningyu still live after that? Whoever saw her, even if they did not say it out loud, they would secretly think: “Look at her, isn’t that Zhu Ningyu? The one who was embarrassed for trying to renege her engagement!”

“That’s right, that’s right. Sigh, that’s so embarrassing...”

Zhu Ningyu thought about that as she walked on the streets. She looked around and felt like there was a hidden meaning behind everyone’s glances at her. She got angrier the more she thought about it. Suddenly, she stood in the middle of the street and screamed, “Everyone, get lost! Get lost! Don’t let me see your face! Otherwise, I’ll kill you all! Kill you all!”

Everyone on the streets was stunned by her scream. When they realized that it was the princess of the Zhu family...

“Everyone, run! The princess of the Zhu family is enraged!”

“Hurry up and leave, she’s from the royal family of the Royal Family. You can’t afford to piss her off!”

“Aiyaya, I don’t know what made her so angry. Hurry and leave! Don’t get caught in the crossfire!”

Everyone soon disappeared. However, Zhu Ningyu did not cheer up at all.

Once they went back, these people would find out that she was embarrassed about trying to renege her engagement. How would she have the face to meet anyone then...

“Alright, Xiaoyu.” Zhu Yunzhou inhaled deeply and patted Zhu Ningyu on the shoulder. “Go home and rest for a few days. Stay low-key during this period. Don’t let this affect your mental state.”

“Yes, alright.” Zhu Ningyu was feeling very down. “I understand, father.”

...

Hong Family.

Once Bei Mingxuan and the rest left, everyone there looked at Hong Xingyu and waited for his judgment.

“You gutless cowards!” Hong Xingyu slammed his walking stick on the floor. “We are the great Hong Family, yet our enemies just rushed into our house like that! What were you thinking about? Were you trying to appease them?! Gutless! Trash!”

Everyone became silent.

Although the Bei Family and Zhu Family suffered some losses today, all that was because of Hong Dali. What did they do? Apart from piling on, what else could they do?

“Get lost. Get lost!” Hong Xingyu was so angry that his beard was shaking. “How can our Hong Family rely on trash like you? What will happen in the future? Will we close our eyes and wait for death when our enemies are trying to attack us?! Get lost. Get out of my face!”

Now that they saw Hong Xingyu enraged, nobody dared say anything else. Everyone left the Elixir Room.

As he left, the Old Elder Hong Yuanhao inhaled deeply. He looked at Hong Dali with some envy, but mostly jealousy. When he got far away, he said to himself, “This Hong Dali, he is so scheming and has such impressive foresight! Especially his special attention paid to keep an additional copy of the security footage. I have to be careful of him.”

One could not blame him for being so wary of Hong Dali.

After all, no matter how strong Hong Dali was, they were not on the same side. Based on his performance today, the future position of the head of the Hong Family might even fall to him! If that truly happened, then all the plans that he had set in place would probably...

He could not stay! He definitely could not stay!

If the head of the family won the battle in three months, everything would still be fine. However, if he lost, the first person to get rid of would definitely be this Hong Dali! After all, the Old Elder had laid out all his plans and even snitched on his own family today, when the time came...

...

Inside the Elixir Room.

Hong Dali lazily lied on the sofa and exhaled deeply.

He only had a few Health points remaining before all this. Now that he transformed yet again, he was only left with over thirty Health points. Furthermore, since he used the third move of the “Monsters Battle Sword Technique”, he lost 15 points each from Strength, Agility, and Reflexes. That was indeed tough for him to handle.

“Sweetheart, are you feeling better?” Hong Xingyu felt horrible when he saw Hong Dali in this state.

Star Knight transformations were not unlimited. Otherwise, wouldn’t you become invincible when you fused with a Golden Emperor Beetle?

Hence, it was documented in the Royal Family Confidential Archives that Star Knight transformations had weaknesses too. It was just that the weaknesses were not so obvious.

To put it simply, Star Knight transformations ate into your life force. While you obtain great power, you almost must pay a certain price, that being Health, the crucial attribute.

However, normal Star Knight transformations only required five Health points. Furthermore, it could easily be replenished by consuming Health-boosting elixirs. Hence, although they all knew of the weakness, Bei Mingxuan and the rest did not focus on that.

After all, the Royal Family always had a huge supply of resources. Health elixirs were the most common ones too. Hence, this weakness was irrelevant to them.

However, Hong Dali was different. His attributes would not grow no matter what elixirs he ate! This was truly depressing.

“Ah, I’m much better.” Hong Dali exhaled deeply and sat on the sofa. “Great-grandfather, I didn’t expect to cause such a huge scene today, hehe.”

“What’s meant to happen will always happen. There’s no escaping it.” Hong Xingyu was not overly concerned. “Bei Family and Zhu Family have plotted to take over our Hong Family’s position for a long time. What happened today was probably a result of their scheming for a long time.”

The Big Three royal families were always feuding, especially since Hong Jun left. The Bei Family and Zhu Family had been waiting to challenge the Hong Family’s position for very long. It was evident by how fast they came over today.

“Don’t worry about them. I’ve memorized the entire ‘Three Realms Sword Record’ long ago. Since there’s nobody here, I’ll recite it for you, great-grandfather.” Hong Dali looked at Hong Xingyu with a bright smile.
