The Crazy Son-In-Law

Up until this moment, most members of the Southeast Old School Society believed that today’s failure was due to the Chief’s betrayal from light to darkness, which was undoubtedly laughable.

Even so, the Chief made no attempt to defend his actions, merely stating indifferently, “Let it end here, your defeat was destined from the start!”

“Destined?” Huang Shan scoffed, “It seems your fate was to be the calamity of the Southeast Old School Society. Our misery is all thanks to you!”

With that, Huang Shan, furious, rushed forward and fiercely slapped the Chief across the face.

“Slap!”

The sound was crisp and loud, and the Chief’s mouth was stained with blood.

“Scoundrel, how dare you hurt Mr. Gao!”

Now, the Chief’s status within the New School Society was comparable to that of Qin Zhenhuan, and seeing the defeated minions of the Old School Society so arrogant, some fighters from Eastbrook could not stand by. They drew their weapons, ready to strike Huang Shan down on the spot.

The Chief raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

Ye Nantian, who was closest to him, protested, “Mr. Gao…”

Before he could finish, the Chief interrupted, “This slap is what I owed him!”

Hearing this, Huang Shan burst into wild laughter, “Ha! So, you admit this slap was owed to me?”

Seeing the Chief remain silent, merely looking at him with a calm demeanor, a surge of nameless rage welled up in Huang Shan. He roared, “It was you who brought me into the Old School Society, and you who taught me the meaning of loyalty, yet you ultimately betrayed me!”

At this revelation, the members of the Old School Society were greatly shocked.

They truly did not know of the deep connection between Huang Shan and the Chief. Those elders who had participated in the Cliffside battle suddenly understood.

No wonder Huang Shan had been so agitated and outraged by the Chief’s actions at Cliffside.

No wonder the Chief, when faced with Huang Shan’s mockery and scolding, had been unable to utter a single word. So there was a reason for all this!

The Chief, disregarding the gazes thrown his way, simply looked at the indignant Huang Shan and said helplessly.

“You’ve vented your anger, and the Old School Society is no more. From now on, do not interfere in these matters. With Leader Xiao’s strength, taking over the entire territory of the Old School Society is only a matter of time!”

Huang Shan sneered in response, “Heh, you call him Leader Xiao so smoothly. Have you been a dog so long you can’t even stand up straight?”

The Chief frowned but ultimately said nothing, his gaze moving past the deluded Huang Shan to the other members of the Old School Society.

“Today’s battle marks a change of power in the Southeast. I am here on behalf of Leader Xiao to negotiate. If you are willing to submit to the New School Society, you will enjoy the same benefits as before. For those unwilling to stay, you are free to leave.”

As the Chief played the role of negotiator, Huang Shan continued to scoff coldly, “Heh, if we wanted to surrender, we wouldn’t have waited until now. Since we didn’t surrender last night, we certainly won’t now. You might as well drop that…”

Before he could finish, voices from behind him chimed in.

“I am willing to submit to the New School Society and follow Leader Xiao from now on!”

“Li Ming, Shen Congyun, Zhou Mi, Zhang Zongchang, you despicable…”

Huang Shan, with a dark, grim face, watched those who had chosen to submit, furious enough to tear them apart on the spot.

“Elder Huang, it’s the trend of the times. With such a big change in the Southeast, even if we return to the headquarters to report, we will surely be punished. It’s better to join the New School Society and have a place to secure our lives,” Li Ming said bitterly.

Inside the Old School Society, there was a rigorous system of rewards and punishments, with particularly severe penalties for failure. Judged as having lost the southeast for the Old School Society, it was expected that none of those returning to the headquarters for debriefing could walk out unscathed.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone had initially been fired up, following Huang Shan to the desolate mountains. However, after some time to cool down, they realized what the best course of action was.

“Settle down and establish a foundation?” Huang Shan’s face twisted as he confronted Li Ming, “Do you really think the New School Society is a good place to settle down? Once the head of the headquarters concludes his retreat, this ragtag bunch will fall apart instantly. Do you still think it’s a place to settle down?”

Hearing this, a flicker of fear crossed Li Ming and the others’ eyes, but they quickly recovered and firmly rebutted Huang Shan, “At least for now, we don’t have to suffer any punishment. If that day comes, we can just start over!”

“A bunch of treacherous scoundrels!”

In a rage, Huang Shan picked up a weapon that had been discarded at his feet and charged at Li Ming and his group.

Provoked, Li Ming also grabbed his weapon, ready to show Huang Shan who was better!

“This gentleman is now with our New School Society. I advise you to think carefully before you act because if it really comes to a fight, everyone on this mountain is with us, and then…”

Ye Nantian stopped speaking there, a mocking smile on his face as he watched Huang Shan.

His words were not an exaggeration. At this moment, except for Huang Shan, everyone else had switched their allegiance to the New School Society. If a conflict did break out, Huang Shan would have no way out.

Watching Huang Shan trembling with rage, Gao Qiu sighed, “Let’s go. Find a place to live well and stop participating in this war. With Xiao Mengzhu’s current strength, even if the head of the Old School Society were to come out, it wouldn’t make any difference!”

Suddenly, Huang Shan burst into maniacal laughter. His laughter echoed far across the empty mountain top.

After a moment, the laughter stopped abruptly. Huang Shan fiercely lifted his long saber, his gaze indifferent as he looked around at everyone, his tone fervent.

“So what if I am the only one left? What joy is there in life, what fear in death? My loyalty to the Old School Society is as clear as the sun and the moon. No matter how many of you there are, you will never make me submit!”

With that, Huang Shan turned his blade around, aiming it at Gao Qiu who stood before him, and then he suddenly chopped downward.

Gao Qiu shook his head, his eyes filled with helplessness. He knew that Huang Shan was seeking death to defend his dignity.

As the blade gleamed, everyone on the mountain moved, charging towards the righteous Huang Shan.

But just then, a figure in white robes danced in the wind, sweeping past like a breeze.

That figure in white then floated directly towards Huang Shan amidst the crowd, and before everyone’s eyes, rescued Huang Shan from certain death.

During this, Miao Ruoyun and Miao Aman tried to intercept, but the opponent’s movements were too agile. They could only watch as the two figures drifted down towards the bottom of the abyss!

This sudden development left everyone from the New School Society dumbstruck.

Everyone was puzzled as to how a powerful stranger had suddenly appeared on the mountain, which had been tightly surrounded, and had managed to evade the joint efforts of two master sorcerers.
