The Oba Family Declares War!

Chapter 24: The Oba Family Declares War!

The faint cries for help were also noticed by Xun'er. After exchanging a glance, the two immediately pushed open the door and rushed into the adjacent room.

Inside the room, a dim oil lamp burned. A young girl in a pink dress was pinned down beside the bed. Her skirt had been pulled down below her waist, revealing a graceful and alluring figure. Her skin was like snow, her waist slender, her legs shapely, and her curves exquisite.

Held down forcefully by the burly man behind her, the girl furrowed her brows, bit her lip, and looked extremely pained. She wanted to cry out for help loudly, but her mouth was stuffed, leaving her only able to emit muffled groans.

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

"It's you!"

Seeing Xiao Tian and Xun'er suddenly burst in, the burly man's actions were interrupted. His gaze immediately turned sinister as he stared at the two who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Slap!"

Xiao Tian glanced at him coldly and directly slapped him hard, sending him flying into the wall. Blood spurted from his mouth, and the sound of bone-shattering echoed clearly.

"Ah!!"

A piercing scream came from the man's throat. He clutched his cheek, his face filled with venomous hatred as he glared at Xiao Tian and roared:

"Bastard, how dare you hit me! My father won't let you get away with this!"

"Bang bang!"

Xiao Tian, too lazy to waste words on this loser, kicked him over, grabbed him, and rained down punches. The crisp sounds of flesh meeting flesh echoed continuously in the room.

"No, don't, stop hitting, spare my life!!!"

Wailing cries continued to pour out, but they couldn't stop Xiao Tian's furious fists and kicks. The air in the room grew thinner and thinner. The man gradually lost consciousness, finally slumping limply onto the floor, his entire face swollen into a pig's head.

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

A moment later, Xiao Mei tidied her clothes and said with tearful gratitude. Tears welled up in her eyes. If not for the timely arrival of the two, she couldn't bear to imagine what the consequences would have been.

"It's good that you're alright," Xiao Tian said, wiping the blood from his hands with a faint smile.

Beside him, Xun'er suddenly frowned slightly and asked softly:

"This person looks so familiar. Could he be the Oba Family's son?"

Xiao Mei nodded, recalling what had happened earlier. A hint of anger flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she bit her lip lightly.

"It was him. Today, I was in the marketplace looking for Brother Xiao Yan when I ran into the Oba Family's son, Obatai. He seemed to be inquiring about the origin of the pills our Xiao Family has been selling recently. I recognized him and knew he had ill intentions. I wanted to ask Uncle Pei En to drive him away, but I didn't expect Obatai's strength to be so great. He subdued me in an instant and brought me here. Not only did he try to force me to reveal the origin of those pills, but he also wanted to... to me..."

Thinking of the torment she had suffered, Xiao Mei couldn't help but tremble all over. If Xiao Tian and the others hadn't arrived in time, she would have already been violated.

As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, and her eyes turned red, looking utterly pitiful.

However, the next moment, when she saw Obatai lying lifeless on the ground, she was suddenly greatly startled and asked tremblingly:

"Cousin Xiao Tian, you... you killed Obatai?"

Xiao Tian shrugged, completely unconcerned. Anyone who dared to cause trouble on Xiao Family territory should be prepared to pay the price.

Seeing this scene, a warmth surged in Xiao Mei's heart, and a strange feeling crept onto her pretty face. She bit her lower lip lightly, her gaze shining as she stared at the handsome and dashing Xiao Tian before her, her heart pounding wildly.

Cousin Xiao Tian actually killed Obatai for me, not hesitating to completely offend the Oba Family! Unknowingly, Xiao Tian's casual action had already captured Xiao Mei's heart, leading her to indulge in fantasies.

However, upon thinking of the gap between them, Xiao Mei's expression turned somber, and her mood sank.

Not long after, the three left the room in the attic, and the news of Obatai's death spread throughout Wutan City, causing a huge sensation.

Oba Family, Council Hall.

"Scoundrels! These bastards from the Xiao Clan actually treated my son so cruelly! Even if Tai'er violated a Xiao Family girl, he didn't cause any substantial harm, yet they killed my only heir! I will absolutely not let this matter rest!" Obapa's eyes were filled with rage and ferocity as he fumed.

"Patriarch, this time, the Oba Family and the Xiao Family have completely fallen out. However, this is a good thing for the Oba Family," an old man sitting beside him said indifferently. He was the Second Elder of the Oba Family, Obake.

"Good, my ass! Obake, what do you mean? Are you happy that my son is dead?" Hearing this, Obapa instantly flew into a rage, pointing directly at Obake's nose and shouting.

Obatai's death had caused him to lose all reason and descend into madness.

Facing Obapa's accusation, Obake snorted coldly and said:

"The dead cannot be brought back to life, but the living must continue to live. The grudges between the Xiao Family and our Oba Family will erupt sooner or later. Why not use this opportunity to declare war on the Xiao Family directly? Firstly, we can avenge Young Master Obatai, and secondly, we can completely uproot the Xiao Family. Then, our Oba Family will annex all of the Xiao Family's industries and become the sole overlord of Wutan City!"

After hearing this, Obapa stopped raging. He remained silent for a long time before nodding and saying:

"You are right. Since we have already fallen out, let's settle it once and for all. Invite Mr. Ouyang to act, and we will eradicate the Xiao Family tomorrow!"

The next day, early morning.

A ray of dawn pierced the darkness, awakening all things. A new day had begun.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves. Inside the Xiao Family mansion, numerous guards patrolled busily, everything appearing orderly.

However, this peaceful scene was soon shattered. Outside the Xiao Family Marketplace, a dense crowd had gathered, completely surrounding the marketplace.

These people were neatly dressed, all wearing the uniform attire of the Oba Family. Leading them was Obapa.

"Xiao Zhan, you condoned your clansmen beating my son to death! This hatred must be repaid with the blood of your entire Xiao Clan! Today, the Oba Family officially declares war on the Xiao Family!" Obapa's face was ferocious as he shouted fiercely.

Hearing these words, Xiao Zhan strode out from the Xiao Family Marketplace, his expression equally grim, and coldly rebuked:

"Obapa, how dare you bully your way to the Xiao Family's doorstep."

As soon as the words fell, a majestic surge of Battle Qi erupted, manifesting into a giant red lion's head before Xiao Zhan. His strength as an Eight-star Great Dou Master was laid bare.

Upon seeing this, Obapa's eyes flashed with cold light, and he sneered:

"Xiao Zhan, I didn't expect you to have already advanced to the Eight-star Great Dou Master realm in just three months. However, your Xiao family killed my only son. This hatred is irreconcilable. Today, I will annihilate the entire Xiao family!"

As his voice faded, all the guards of the Oba Family drew their swords. The sharp blades glinted with a chilling murderous intent that sent shivers down one's spine.

However, just as Obapa was about to give the order to attack, a calm, youthful voice echoed:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Immediately after, Xiao Tian, with his hands behind his back, leaped out and landed steadily on the rooftop, looking down at Obapa below.
