It was unusually quiet here. The master of the Zeng family sat in the middle of the central hall. The people sitting on both sides were their daughter, Yao Yue, their son, Zeng Lingchen, the housekeeper, Zeng Ying, and a woman named Xuelan.
Among them, the one with the most normal and slightly smiling expression was Xuelan.
Yao Yue was deeply surprised by the appearance of this aunt, because Aunt Xuelan belonged to that kind of unarmed woman. It was unnecessary for her to appear in such a situation.
However, Zeng surpassed his own thoughts. Sometimes, what women could do was often impossible for men. Moreover, in a sense, Xuelan was his woman.
The butler came over and introduced, “Mr. Yip, please allow me to introduce you. This is the patriarch, Zeng surpassed, and this is Miss Xuelan, the husband’s lover.”
Brucille said with a smile, “The former patriarch must be a handsome man when he was in his prime. Sister Xuelan is also young and beautiful. She looks like a sister of Yao Yue.”
Xuelan’s lips were red, her teeth were white, and she said softly, “Mr. Yip came from afar. He should have prepared a sumptuous dinner for you, but it was canceled considering the time. Please don’t mind, if Mr. Yip is willing to stay here for one night.”
“That’s not necessary. I believe that except for Sister Xuelan, no one here has such an idea. I won’t make a fool of myself here.”
Zeng Yihao was amazed by Brucille’s courage. He actually dared to come alone to the appointment, knowing that it was a banquet of the Hongmen Sect.
“Little Brucille, your courage is rarely seen in my life, but the Zeng family is stronger than you can imagine. Even if you capture a few servants, it will not be a big loss for the Zeng family.”
Brucille knew that the chair at the bottom was reserved for him. This position was close to the Demon Moon. He smiled at the Demon Moon and said, “Master Zeng, as you said, the bargaining chips in my hands have lost their value. I’m afraid that my appearance is already very dangerous, right?”
Zeng Lingchen gritted his teeth and said, “That’s right. From the moment you entered this house, you were doomed to die.”
At this time, a trace of anger flashed across Brucille’s face. He did not like to be threatened so straightforwardly, not to mention that he was still alive.
“Young Master Zeng, I told you before that you should learn from your sister. At least you should learn to shut up. You’re alive not because you’re smart, nor because you’re the young master of the Zeng family. It’s because I don’t want to kill you.”
Zeng Xiaoxiao had sensed Brucille’s domineering aura from such a close distance. No one else in the world would dare to say something like that when he sat in front of him and threatened to kill his son.
The atmosphere in the room sank into the freezing point. Xuelan interrupted, “Since Mr. Yip is here to talk about something, why don’t you tell us the chips and prices in your heart? I am just a little woman who has never seen the world. The price is suitable for doing business. Just tell us.”
Brucille shrugged his shoulders and moved his butt, saying, “Sister Xuelan, you’re the one who’s easy to talk to. What I mean is very simple. I’ve already gotten rid of the four people with patterns on their bodies. They can’t serve the Zeng family anymore.”
Zeng Lingchen was shocked. Guessing was one thing, but hearing it from Brucille was another thing.
The butler knew that those people with patterns were the Black Guards of the Zeng family. He only sent four Black Guards, but they were all wiped out.
The Zeng family head’s expression was cold and he did not interrupt Brucille.
Seeing that everyone’s expressions were different, Brucille continued to say, “So I have four handsome men and four beautiful women in my hand. I can guarantee that the four handsome men are intact. The four beautiful women are extraordinary, especially the enchanting figure of Spring Breeze, which makes it difficult for me to forget.”
“If they hadn’t stayed in the Zeng Family for too long, I would really like to keep all of them by my side. How about this? These elites are of great significance to the Zeng Family. I want to pay this price.”
Brucille stretched out the index finger of his right hand at this time.
Zeng Lingchen asked suspiciously, “What do you mean? Are you going to ask for 10 million?”
Brucille completely ignored him. Zeng Lingchen asked again, “Are you planning to ask for a hundred million? Are you crazy?”
It was impossible for him to guess what he was thinking, so Brucille took the initiative to reveal the mystery. “I mean, each person has 100 million yuan. There are eight people in total, so I want 800 million yuan.”
Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air. Yao Yue had thought that Brucille would demand an exorbitant price, but she never thought that he would actually want to swallow an elephant like a snake.
Xuelan’s facial expression was also slightly unnatural. She used her right hand to tightly grasp Zeng surpassed’s left hand.
After struggling for a while, the master of the Zeng family finally calmed down. He suddenly stood up from the armchair and said with a smile, “I heard that you are good at martial arts. I suddenly want to ask you for advice.”
Brucille looked at Yao Yue and wanted to know what she meant.
Yao Yue did not expect that her adoptive father would make such a decision and was ready to take action. She said, “Foster father, you sprained your waist a few days ago. Won’t it worsen your condition if you take action now?”
Brucille had not only heard that he had sprained his waist, he had also heard that the patriarch of the Zeng family was injured.
This was a hint as well as a reminder.
Facing the elder’s invitation, Brucille did not dare to refuse. He stood up and said, “Since the patriarch of the Zeng family had sprained his waist, let’s stop there. No matter what, you are an elder. It’s my fault if I hurt you.”
Zeng Yihao was very angry with his adopted daughter’s reminder. This undoubtedly reassured Brucille and told him that he was injured.
This girl actually turned her elbow outward. With her heart filled with anger, he swung his fist and slammed it down on Brucille’s chest.
Brucille stepped back quickly with light steps, fell to the ground and got up again with four or two thousand kilograms, and then hit Zeng surpassed’s lower abdomen with a flick of his fingers.
Zeng surpassed Brucille’s back with an elbow strike, and neither of them was able to gain any advantage over each other.
Brucille was more active after taking the blow. He swung his fist faster than before, and Zeng surpassed him in strength. Although he was over 50 years old, his fist style was still the same as before.
Bang.
After a crisp sound, both of their fists hit each other in the chest, and then they stepped back a few steps respectively.
Judging from the current situation, it was obvious that the master of the Zeng family had taken even more steps back, which proved that he was probably weaker than Brucille.
Zeng Yihao’s eyes were filled with astonishment as he swallowed the blood that had rushed to his throat.
Then he forced a smile and said, “Little Brucille, you are indeed a young hero. I admire you.”
“Master Zeng, thank you for letting me win. You sprained your waist a few days ago, so your strength has declined. But in such a situation, you are still able to fight to a draw with me, which really makes me ashamed.”
At this time, Brucille knew that although he won, it was a miserable win, and it was not a good win.
