It was in the provincial city of HProvince.
Twilight had begun to settle over the courtyard of the Xu family's villa in the quiet, protected area of the city.
It was almost seven o'clock in the evening.
The yard was ablaze with light, however. Lamps, spotlights, and fires were lit to illuminate a large group of people from the Xu
family that were gathered there. Except, unlike before, there was no party. The atmosphere was depressed and tense.
Along the outside of the courtyard, bodyguards in black suits stood with their arms crossed over their chests. They were standing
so close to each other that no one would be able to slip through.
In the north side of the courtyard sat three old men who wore solemn expressions on their faces. Through their half-closed eyes,
they observed the people around them with gazes that were as sharp as that of wolves.
The courtyard was brimmed with people all sitting facing these three elders. They were all silent, as if afraid to even cough and
show an ounce of disrespect.
Behind the three old men, more than one hundred people were sitting and waiting. They all looked proud and arrogant, emitting an
aura of aloofness. The glances they occasionally spent on the other people in the courtyard were always filled with disgust.
All the people present belonged to the Xu Clan from the southwest region of the country. Only moments before, they had
dismounted a plane and arrived at the courtyard and they were clearly exhausted from their trip.
The rest of the people in the courtyard were from one of the Xu Clan's branches in the capital city of HProvince. It was difficult
for them to believe that such high figures were present and they couldn't stop gaping at them with admiration and awe.
Most of the local Xus couldn't stop themselves from unleashing a giddy smile at their clansmen from the southwest, as they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwanted nothing more than to establish a close relationship with their members from their headquarters.
"It's been almost four hours.
Are you sure that brat will chere today?"
an old man in a white robe suddenly said in a cold voice, breaking the incredible silence. His words were paired with a cold glare
and tightly clasped hands.
"Sir, he said he would only wait for one day.
He told us that if he doesn't get to see the people of our clansmen from the headquarters in the southwest after one day passes,
he will kill all the Xu Clan members in the provincial city.
All the people from our branches in the capital city were present when he said those words. We all heard that,"
an old man in his sixties replied while stepping forward and bowing slightly before the three elders. As he stood straight again, his
entire body was shaking.
"Yes, we all heard that clearly."
The rest of the Xu Clan members from the provincial capital nodded to back up the old man's words. It was their annual gathering
of this year. All of them were expecting a feast, delicious wine and quality fun time. However, this Austin guy ruined their party by
showing up without invitation and killing their current leader and his son and wife. And the horror didn't stop there. This
abominable young man even threatened to kill them all! That was truly a nightmare for all of them.
"All right. | guess we can wait a little longer, but only for a few more hours. | need to sleep.
Arter all, I'd like to see who this bastard is. Any man that dares to provoke the Xus from the headquarters in southwest must be
dealt with!
The only way that he will learn is with a violent punishment, and even then, he may require more,"
the old man in the white robe added, sneering over the audience.
"Perhaps he was just bluffing and trying to create fear in us. It's highly possible that he would chicken out and run away.
Arter all, the Xu Clan in the southwest is a part of the Heavenly Mountain Sect now. No sects or martial arts clans in today's world
would dare to openly provoke us, even the bigger ones. This | am positive of,"
one of the three elders who was extremely fat and had a red face said with a confident smile.
"I think he's right.
It's been too long. If he were coming, he wouldn't be late. He must be too afraid! Told you we didn't have to bring this many people
to deal with an ignorant brat!"
The other two elders nodded to show their agreement.
As if on cue, a voice rang out over the murmurs of agreement.
"Would | be able to add my opinion on the matter?
| wouldn't say I'm afraid or bluffing.
| would say that you think too highly of yourselves!"
All at once, every head turned towards the gate.
Standing among the bodyguards, dressed in casual sportswear, was Austin.
Without another word, he entered the courtyard with a measured stride, putting his hands behind his back in a nonchalant manner.
"It's him! It's him! He's arrived!"
a bunch of the Xu Clan's members from the provincial capital shouted, pointing at Austin as if he were a demonic beast.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFear rippled through the Xu Clan's members that were closest to the gate. They clearly recalled the scene they had experienced
the day before yesterday which was extremely terrifying.
Just as before, silence draped over the area. The sound of Austin walking towards the three elders echoed through the air and all
the while, no one's eyes left his body.
They were confused because this man looked exceptionally ordinary.
There was not a trace of aura that an aggressive and fierce martial arts master should have and sof them felt slightly
disappointed.
"That's him? This is the young man who was able to catch and ward a bullet back with his hands? You're sure about that?"
All the Xu Clan's members from the headquarters in the southwest were wearing expressions of suspicion on their faces. They
couldn't believe that Austin was special or a threat at all.
