Oba Pa's Family Declares War!

Oba Pa's Family Declares War!

Xun'er heard the faint cry for help, too. The two exchanged a glance, then immediately pushed open the door and rushed into the room next door.

Inside, a dim oil lamp burned. A girl in a pink dress was pinned down beside the bed. Her skirt had been pulled up from the waist down, revealing a graceful, alluring figure, with snow-white skin, a slender waist, and shapely legs.

The burly man behind her held her down with all his strength. Her brows knitted tightly, her teeth bit down on her lip, and her face was contorted with pain. She tried to cry for help, but with her mouth stuffed full, all she could manage were muffled whimpers.

The girl's identity was none other than Xiao Mei, the granddaughter of the Xiao Family's Third Elder!

"It's you!"

Seeing Xiao Tian and Xun'er suddenly burst in, the burly man's movements were interrupted. His gaze immediately darkened as he glared at the two unexpected arrivals.

Smack!

Xiao Tian shot him a cold glance and slapped him hard across the face, sending him flying into the wall. Blood sprayed from his mouth, and the sound of breaking bones rang out clearly.

"Ah!!"

A piercing scream burst from the man's throat. Clutching his cheek, he glared at Xiao Tian with venom and roared,

"You bastard! How dare you hit me? My father won't let you get away with this!"

Thud! Thud!

Xiao Tian couldn't be bothered to waste words on the fool. He kicked him to the ground, grabbed him, and unleashed a flurry of punches. Cracking sounds echoed through the room.

"No, please! Stop hitting me, stop! Spare me!!!"

His agonized cries rang out again and again, but they couldn't stop Xiao Tian's furious blows. The air in the room seemed to grow thinner and thinner. The man gradually fell silent, finally slumping limply onto the floor, his face swollen into a pig's head.

"Cousin Xiao Tian, Xun'er, thank you!"

A moment later, Xiao Mei straightened her clothes and thanked them tearfully, tears welling in her eyes. If they hadn't arrived in time, she couldn't bear to imagine what might have happened to her.

"It's all right, as long as you're okay." Xiao Tian wiped the blood from his hands and smiled faintly.

Beside him, Xun'er suddenly furrowed her brows and asked softly,

"Doesn't he look familiar? Could he be Oba Pa's son?"

Xiao Mei nodded. As she recalled what had happened earlier, a flash of anger crossed her beautiful eyes. She bit down on her lip and said,

"He is. I was at the marketplace today, looking for Brother Xiao Yan, when I ran into Oba Pa's son, Obatai. He seemed to be asking about the source of the pills our Xiao Family has been selling lately. I recognized him and knew he meant trouble, so I wanted Uncle Pei En to drive him away. But I didn't expect Obatai to be so strong. He subdued me in an instant and brought me here. He not only forced me to tell him where those pills came from, but also tried to... to..."

Recalling what she had just endured, Xiao Mei couldn't help trembling all over. If Xiao Tian and the others hadn't arrived in time, she would likely have already been violated.

As she spoke, Xiao Mei's eyes grew misty and red-rimmed, making her look pitiful.

But in the next instant, she saw Obatai lying motionless on the ground, dead, and was so shocked that she stammered,

"Cousin Xiao Tian, you... you beat Obatai to death?"

Xiao Tian shrugged, looking unconcerned. Anyone who dared to cause trouble on Xiao Family land ought to have been prepared to pay the price.

Seeing this, Xiao Mei felt a warm current rise in her heart, and an unfamiliar feeling crept across her pretty face. She bit her lower lip and gazed at the handsome, dashing Xiao Tian before her, her heart pounding.

"Cousin Xiao Tian actually killed Obatai for me, even though it means completely offending the Oba Pa Family!" Before she knew it, Xiao Tian's casual gesture had already captured Xiao Mei's heart, and she began to indulge in wild fantasies.

But when she thought of the difference between them, Xiao Mei's expression dimmed, and her spirits fell.

Not long after, the three left the room in the attic. News of Obatai's death soon spread throughout Wutan City, causing a huge commotion.

The Oba Pa Family's council hall.

"Bastards! Those Xiao Clan scum actually dared to hurt my son so badly! Even if Tai'er did assault a girl from the Xiao Family, he didn't actually harm her. Yet they killed my only son! I will never let this go!" Oba Pa's eyes blazed with fury and cruelty, and he was enraged beyond reason.

"Clan Leader, this time the Oba Family and the Xiao Family have completely fallen out. But that may actually be a good thing for the Oba Pa Family," said the elderly man seated beside him indifferently. He was Obake, the Oba Family's Second Elder.

"What the hell is good about that? Obake, what do you mean? Are you happy my son is dead?" Hearing this, Oba Pa flew into a rage and pointed at Obake's nose as he cursed him.

Obatai's death had stripped him of all reason, leaving him utterly deranged.

Facing Oba Pa's accusation, Obake snorted and said,

"The dead can't come back to life, but the living still have to carry on. The grudge between the Xiao Family and our Oba Family was bound to erupt sooner or later. Why not use this as an excuse to declare war on the Xiao Family? That way, we can avenge Young Master Obatai, and we can also wipe out the Xiao Family once and for all. Then the Oba Family can seize all the Xiao Family's businesses and become the sole power in Wutan City!"

After hearing this, Oba Pa stopped raging. He fell silent for a long while before nodding and saying,

"You're right. Since we've already fallen out, we might as well settle this once and for all. Ask Mr. Ouyang to step in. Tomorrow, we'll wipe out the Xiao Family!"

The following day, early morning.

A ray of dawn tore through the darkness, awakening all living things and ushering in a new day.

A gentle breeze stirred, and leaves rustled. Inside the Xiao Family estate, numerous guards patrolled busily. Everything seemed orderly.

However, this peaceful scene was soon shattered. A dense crowd had gathered outside the Xiao Family Marketplace, surrounding the entire marketplace until not even a drop of water could get through.

They were all dressed alike in the Oba Pa Family's uniforms. Oba Pa himself stood at the head of the group.

"Xiao Zhan, you let your clansmen beat my son to death. This grudge must be paid for with the blood of your entire Xiao Clan! Today, the Oba Family officially declares war on the Xiao Family!" Oba Pa shouted viciously, his face twisted in rage.

Hearing these words, Xiao Zhan strode out of the Xiao Family Marketplace, his face just as grim. He shouted coldly,

"Oba Pa, you've got some nerve, daring to cause trouble right at the gates of the Xiao Family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a surging torrent of Dou Qi burst forth, transforming into a massive red lion's head before Xiao Zhan. His strength as an Eight-star Great Dou Master was on full display.

Seeing this, a cold gleam flashed in Oba Pa's eyes, and he sneered,

"Xiao Zhan, I didn't expect you to have reached the Eight-star Great Dou Master level in just three months. But a member of your Xiao Family killed my only son. This grudge can never be forgiven! Today, I will wipe out the entire Xiao Family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, every guard in the Oba Pa Family's ranks drew their blades. Their keen edges gleamed with a chilling intent to kill, sending shivers down the spine.

But just as Oba Pa was about to give the order to attack, a young man's calm voice rang out:

"I've been waiting for you."

Then Xiao Tian leaped forward with his hands clasped behind his back, landing steadily on the rooftop. He looked down at Oba Pa below.
