Chapter 966 No regrets
Chapter 966 No regrets
The small cloaked figure didn't even bother trying to hide this fact.
He even admitted it by saying these words.
It almost seemed like he wasn't surprised to be asked this question, but that wasn't because he wasn't surprised to be caught. It was more that the small cloaked figure had already figured that this was the case based on everything that happened.
"You've left plenty of clues, so it wasn't hard to guess." Lin Fan said with a shrug.
The small cloaked figure didn't respond right away as he looked at Lin Fan, but then he suddenly said, "Is it easy? I don't think that it would be easy unless you knew what you were looking for."
Then in a sharper voice, he said, "Those that know what to look for are those from the Mu Empire. So does that mean that you've come from the Mu Empire because you were tipped off or is it something else?"
Even though it was clear that he had been exposed and was trapped in enemy territory, it didn't seem like the short cloaked figure was panicking at all. The way that he was acting was as if he was trying to get information from Lin Fan.
That meant that he wasn't worried about not being able to escape.
It seemed that he must have already prepared for this scenario a long time ago.
In the beginning, he saw the Huang Family as nothing more than something disposable.
Hearing this angered the ancestor and the other members of the Huang Family.
The only reason that they had done all of this was because of the promises of the short cloaked figure, but now that things had devolved like this...it seemed that the short cloaked figure was planning to completely abandon them.
So they just weren't willing to accept this.
The ancestor of the Huang Family couldn't do anything since he was being suppressed by the pressure that came from the short cloaked figure.
In the end, it was the current head of the Huang Family that spoke.
"We'll give you information on what he's had us do as long as you spare us!"
Right as soon as his voice fell, the short cloaked figure immediately turned to look at the current head of the Huang Family.
The way that he looked at him, it was clear that he was planning on silencing him.
The current head of the Huang Family's legs collapsed under him when he saw the short cloaked figure turning in his direction, it was just what he expected to happen didn't happen in the end.
He had expected the same pressure that had suppressed the ancestor of the Huang Family to fall down on him, only it didn't happen.
There seemed to be some kind of clash in the air in front of him.
It was as if there were two different kinds of powers that were clashing there which created this small distortion.
The one that everyone was judging didn't seem to care that he was being judged as he said, "Since you've come back, it's only natural that you are a part of our Huang Family. As such, you should take on some of the responsibilities of the Huang Family."
Pointing at the short cloaked figure and Lin Fan, he said, "Naturally, you should help us deal with the intruders of the Huang Family. We'll leave this matter to you."
Absolutely shameless.
It was as if he didn't even know what the word shame was.
Huang Xie's lips twitched twice before asking, "Who said that I was a part of the Huang Family?"
"Of course you're a part of the Huang Family." The current head of the Huang Family quickly said before adding, "You were born from me, so how could you not be a part of the Huang Family? Since we're related by blood, it is only right that you help us."
The other members of the Huang Family seemed to have the shamelessness of their head rubbing off on them, so they started mirroring him.
Even though there were some that had tried to do everything that they could to ruin Huang Xie's life. It was as if none of them remembered anything that they did before with the way that they were calling to him.
Huang Xie couldn't help slightly knitting his brows when he saw them acting this way.
Eventually, Huang Xie asked, "Then is my mother a part of the Huang Family as well?"
The current head of the Huang Family was caught off guard when he heard this.
It seemed that he didn't really understand what Huang Xie was asking of him, so it seemed that he was having trouble answering this question. But at the same time, he could tell that the longer that he took, the worse it would be.
So in the end, the current head of the Huang Family just said, "Of course she's a part of our Huang Family. She's your mother and my wife, so how could she not be a part of our family?"
"Then why isn't she buried with the rest of the Huang Family?" Huang Xie asked in a cold voice.
Awkward looks appeared on the faces of all the Huang Family members.
Only the current family head of the Huang Family didn't even miss a beat as he said, "What do you mean? I was told that she was buried with the rest of our relatives when she died, why isn't she buried with the Huang Family?"

As if he was enraged with something, he grabbed one of the guards nearby and cut him down before saying, "How dare you fools lie to me like that? You dare disrespect the wife of the current family head?"
Shameless, that was a word that was perfect for this man.
Huang Xie gave a cold snort and didn't bother saying anything else to them.
Lin Fan however had a few words for him.
"Go and take care of your matter. Don't leave behind any regrets."
Huang Xie turned to look at Lin Fan in silence for a bit before slowly giving a nod and saying, "Master, I won't leave behind any regrets."
