Chapter 404 - 404: The Han Family Is Furious! (3)
After watching for a while, the patriarch of the Han family felt the timing was right and gently tapped the table.
Immediately, the room fell silent.
Everyone knew that it wasn’t a matter of arguing; only the person at the head of the table could make the decision.
“Wild Wolf Town was ultimately under your control, younger brother. Its destruction proves your ineffectiveness in handling matters and shows your poor judgement of people…”
“Therefore, the task of eliminating Zhao Yu will be given to Yong De…”
Han Yong Le immediately sensing that his position as the heir was now unstable.
His hatred for Zhao Yu grew even more.
Han Yong De, on the other hand was overjoyed and quickly responded, “Father, rest assured, I will definitely regain our honor for my younger brother and restore the status of our Han family…”
No one considered whether they could actually defeat Zhao Yu.
In their eyes, any force outside Black Rock City was insignificant.
“Black Rock Daily News Flash Today…”
“Li Yang, the subordinate of Han Yong Le, the second son of the Han family, and his Wild Wolf Town, have all been destroyed…”
“The one who annihilated them is a person named Zhao Yu…”
‘Huh?!’
A woman holding a wine glass, sitting at a long dining table, was taken aback.
“Zhao Yu?!”
A maid nearby quickly came forward to explain the day’s events.
“Where is Zhao Yu’s territory?”
‘Near the old power plant…”
“The malfunctioning factory?!”
Xu Jia Lu recalled that a few years ago, Zhao Yu seemed to have built an underground shelter near that area.
“He still alive?!”
Her expression was a bit strange, surprised that after several years of apocalypse, she could still hear this name.
The maid, understanding her mistress’s moods, “Miss, do you know this Zhao Yu?”
“An old middle school and high school classmate…” Xu Jia Lu’s eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness, followed by disgust.
She never expected to hear this name again in her lifetime, which made her feel nauseous.
Zhao Yu was her first love.
But she never imagined that his purpose in approaching her was just to pave his way, simply because she, Xu Jia Lu, was a well-known rich family daughter, a beauty with wealth.”
He has meticulously planned from middle school to get close to her, Zhao Yu’s duplicity was eventually exposed when he was found cheating with multiple partners, revealed by someone more powerful.
Just thinking about how she was once fooled by Zhao Yu into taking off her clothes and going to bed with him made her feel nauseated.
“Miss, should we eliminate that Zhao Yu?” asked the maid.
“No need.”
Xu Jia Lu came back to her senses and shook her head slightly.
“It’s Han family’s issue, what does it have to do with the Xu family? Besides, it has nothing to do with me now…”
The personal maid Xiao Cui was wondering if there was some story between Zhao Yu and Xu Jia Lu.
If Fang Yue E knew Zhao Yu was still alive…
Never mind!
Xu Jia Lu shook her head, not believing Zhao Yu could survive the Han family’s onslaught.
“Let me know if Zhao Yu dies.” she instructed.
“Yes, Miss!” The maid agreed but didn’t leave, hesitating as if she had more to say.
“What is it now!?”
Xu Jia Lu asked, noticing the maid’s hesitation.
“Miss, your father recently lost a million at the casino…”
“Hmph!”
“Who gave him the money?” Xu Jia Lu snorted coldly and questioned.
The maid trembled, fearing to speak further.
Xu Jia Lu didn’t want to make it hard for her, “Issue my order, confine my father. Without my command, no one is to let him leave…”
“This old gambler, if not watched, will sooner or later squander the entire Xu family fortune…”
“Yes, Miss…” The maid felt awkward. In other families, men were usually in charge.
But in the Xu family, it was a woman, and a woman in her twenties at that.
Yet, no one dared to disobey, allowing the Xu family to become the foremost family in Black Rock City.
All because Xu Jia Lu was the close friend and confidante of Fang Yue E, the young mistress of the Fang Group.
In the presence of the Fang Group, Black Rock City was insignificant..
