"Exactly! What kind of dogshit are you? The Xiao family's already finished, and you still dare to mouth off to Fan Ge? You really have no idea what death means, do you? Pah!"

Seeing their arrogant faces, the members of the Xiao family glared at them through gritted teeth, furious beyond words.
Unfortunately, those men clearly no longer took the Xiao family seriously at all. They completely ignored the family members' angry expressions and glares.
