Chapter 408: Apology Unpursued

This outcry completely shattered Oda Chihide’s psychological defenses. He gritted his teeth and lifted his hand to point behind Xu Fan.

Upon seeing this, Qin Haowu’s heart thumped.

“Bingo…”

Xu Fan flashed a smile and snapped his fingers, thanking loudly, “Mr. Oda Chihide, you are a very sensible man. Good luck will follow you.”

Xu Fan did not skimp on giving him a good impression before he turned and continued towards the restroom.

Qin Haowu’s face turned ashen, and deep resentment filled him towards Oda Chihide.

Actually, he understood Oda Chihide’s choice, but when reality truly hit, a certain hope in his heart inevitably shattered.

Between the Xu Family and the Oda clan, he could only choose one.

Hiding in the restroom, Xu Qiyin faintly heard the commotion outside, especially the footsteps growing louder and louder, leaving his mind utterly blank and his limbs helpless, like an ant on a hot pan, wishing nothing more than to find a crack to crawl into.

But when he stood on the toilet and pried open the window for a look below, his face instantly turned deathly pale.

This was way too high, hundreds of meters up, the strong wind howling, and the people on the ground seemed like tiny black dots, scaring Xu Qiyin so much that his liver and gallbladder felt torn apart.

“Thud thud thud…” Xu Fan’s fingers rhythmically knocked on the door.

With each sound, Xu Qiyin felt like the Grim Reaper was tolling a death knell.

“My dear cousin, won’t you come out and see your brother?” Xu Fan’s voice sounded almost demonic, with a persuasively gentle undertone.

Xu Qiyin was curled up in the corner, white-faced, not daring to let out even a breath.

Xu Fan’s voice rose again, “Since you’re so shy, then I suppose I’ll have to come in myself.”

“Ah~~ No”

On the brink of breaking down, Xu Qiyin couldn’t help but plead with his voice filled with sobs, “Brother, I was wrong, I realize my mistake now. For the sake of our brotherhood, please let me go.”

Now you admit your fault, isn’t it too late?

A cold smirk appeared on Xu Fan’s lips.

Brotherhood? When you damn well wanted to make a move on my wife, didn’t you forget all about it?

Hearing their conversation, Qin Haowu couldn’t help but be stunned; he had no idea that the two of them were in fact closely related cousins.

Desperate to survive, Xu Qiyin really went all out, even invoking Elder Xu, “Brother, I won’t make such a foolish mistake again, please give me a chance to turn over a new leaf. I think Grandfather wouldn’t want to see a bloodbath between brothers. He’s elderly now, still overseeing the family matters, let’s not sadden him anymore.”

“Sigh!”

It seemed as if Xu Fan was touched, he could disrespect the Xu family, overlook them, keep his distance, even resent them, but he held exceptional respect for Elder Xu.

Remember the year when Xu Tianlong suddenly died, and it turned out that Xu Fan’s mother was implicated in the crime, Elder Xu protected them against the unanimous objections of everyone else; otherwise, Xu Fan wouldn’t be where he was today.

Xu Fan’s heart softened as he said, “Alright, for Grandfather’s sake, I won’t take your little life. Come out and apologize to me sincerely, and we’ll call it even.”

“Is that true?”

Xu Qiyin’s heart suddenly eased, but then, as if he remembered something terrifying, he couldn’t help but scream hoarsely, “You must be lying to me, you’ve wanted to kill me for so long, just waiting for the chance, I won’t fall for your trap.”

“Young Master Xu, please calm down. Let me first explain who I am. My name is Qian Zongsheng, and my companion is Gao Ziling. We both belong to the Flame Dragon Organization and are responsible for all matters in Longhu Province. Rest assured, we have reached an agreement with Xu Fan, the protector of the Xu Family. As long as you apologize, there will be no threat to your life.”

Qian Zongsheng frowned, unable to watch any longer. He walked up to the outside of the restroom and shouted out loud.

Hearing it was the Flame Dragon Organization, Xu Qiyin’s anxiety subsided slightly. He caught his breath, mustered his courage, and tiptoed to the restroom door. He removed the card that was blocking the mop bucket and then turned the doorknob.

Despite his efforts to control his emotions, when he saw Xu Fan standing outside the restroom with an expressionless face again, he was startled, as if his heart was grasped in the other’s hand. He subconsciously wanted to close the door again.

Of course, Xu Fan wouldn’t give him that chance. He reached out, lifted Xu Qiyin, and then threw him hard to the ground.

“Ah!”

Xu Qiyin was delicate and tender; the fall immediately caused him severe pain.

Seeing this, Gao Ziling couldn’t help but frown and took a step forward to stop it, but Qian Zongsheng quickly raised his hand to halt him.

If Xu Fan had wanted to kill, he would have done it already—no need for so much talk, nor just to give Xu Qiyin a single toss.

It precisely showed that Xu Fan was venting his inner rage with this action. As long as his anger subsided, the incident would be much over.

Xu Qiyin sat collapsed on the floor, moaning in pain. But when he saw Xu Fan’s stern face, he didn’t dare to even breathe aloud, hanging his head low like a dead fish.

Xu Fan didn’t waste words, his voice cold, “Apologize!”

“Me?” Xu Qiyin couldn’t quite believe it.

“Apologize to me. Satisfy me, and I might consider letting you off.” Xu Fan glanced at him coldly.

“Alright, alright, alright!”

Only then did Xu Qiyin confirm it was true. He was ecstatic, as if he had been spared a small life. He hastily said, “Cousin, I… I’m sorry, I deserve to die, I’m a beast, I will never dare to do this again, I must reform myself and be a good person…”

“Fine, that’s it,” Xu Fan nodded and said coolly, “Let this be the end of this matter. Don’t make such foolish mistakes again. You have a great future ahead. Don’t be foolish and risk your life again, or there won’t be a next time.”

Xu Qiyin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put on a flattering smile, “Cousin, I’ll listen to you.”

Qian Zongsheng and Gao Ziling watched this with an odd look on their faces. They had thought Xu Fan would seize every chance to torment and humiliate Xu Qiyin, but unexpectedly, he was true to his word and let the matter drop after just an apology.

It was indeed surprising.

Xu Fan no longer looked at Xu Qiyin. He turned and walked to the window, hands clasped behind his back as he looked out at the scenery, a faint cold smirk appearing on his lips.

How could the matter end just like that?

He was no saint.

It was just that he had suddenly thought of a possibility a moment ago, which is why he decided to let Xu Qiyin off for now, planning to seek evidence afterward.

What prompted Xu Fan to make this decision was a moment earlier when he had grabbed Xu Qiyin, he had slipped a Divine Sense into his body. Xu Qiyin, being mentally disordered, had no chance of detecting it.

This Divine Sense would remain in Xu Qiyin’s body, ensuring that Xu Qiyin was under Xu Fan’s surveillance at all times.

Xu Fan believed he could uncover some secrets from him.

The truth behind Xu Tianlong’s harm, he had not given up on investigating.

Xu Fan executed this covert operation with no one present noticing, a testament to his skill. He was confident that even a Martial King or even a Heavenly Venerable authority would not be able to detect a trace.
