"Wang Dong, you might not know what I think, and you haven't experienced what I have. You might not know what I used to eat. Back then, I only wanted a bite of warm flatbread, a hot meal. My mother could only make it in secret, then hide it against her chest and take it out only when she came to me.
We weren't unable to cook for ourselves in the Duke Mansion. We were oppressed. That noblewoman simply wouldn't allow us to eat well. If she saw it, she would bully us. That's why I'm furious. I want to kill them. You simply don't understand how they bullied my mother and me."
Huo Yuhao still had some intelligence at this point. He wasn't so easily fooled.
Wang Dong (Tang San) could not so easily turn the current Huo Yuhao into a puppet that was easy to control, or rather, a dog that was easy to manipulate.
The current Huo Yuhao still knew how to argue back. He wasn't so easily deceived.
"Besides, Wang Dong, you don't understand. I was often bullied at the Duke Mansion. My mother and I cleaned the Duke Mansion together, and whenever those people didn't like the sight of us, they would bully us. Then, while we were cleaning, they would deliberately find fault. If we didn't do a good enough job, or if we didn't give them a good enough excuse, they would directly start hitting us.
All of this was because of the wonderful wife my noble father married—that noblewoman. No matter what, I can never forgive them. I want revenge. No one can stop me.
I have to seek justice for my mother and let her rest in peace.
Wang Dong, I know what you're thinking. You want to say that nobleman—my father—was still my biological father no matter what, and you don't want me to kill my own father with my own hands. I can understand that. After all, he really is my father. But you haven't experienced the pain I suffered. You simply cannot understand me, so I hope you won't try to stop me again."
After Huo Yuhao said this, Wang Dong did not say anything on the surface, but Tang San inside Wang Dong truly did not know what to say.
"I just wanted to see whether I could tame you better and gave myself an excuse. It looks like taming you is difficult right now, but since you're so good at finding reasons for yourself, then slowly molding you into my Tang Clan's son-in-law shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, this is for Douluo Planet, for the whole world. It's the right thing to do."
Tang San's Divine Sense said this, then sent the information to Tang San in the God Realm.
Tang San's Divine Sense was just like Tang San himself—an utterly shameless and disgusting existence.
It was basically an incarnation of a sliver of Tang San's consciousness, inheriting Tang San's original level of disgust. Everything was for maximizing benefits.
"Huo Yuhao, I don't know what to say, because I never had a father like that. Since childhood, I was cared for by Big Uncle and Second Uncle—they are my father's brothers. I was often very happy and was never abused.
But I also know that perhaps your father was unaware. Your noble father might not have known at all, might not have understood the details, might not have known anything whatsoever. Yet you insist that your noble father pay the price. Isn't that somewhat unfair?"
Wang Dong (Tang San) began speaking at this point.
"According to what you said, you may never have even met your noble father. He might not even know you exist. If so, it's very possible that you and your mother were hidden away by that noblewoman, so he knew nothing at all. That was why the noblewoman—your noble father's wife—bullied you like this.
If your noble father truly didn't know you existed and was busy every day, then if you want to destroy him, wouldn't that be unfair to him?"
At this point, Wang Dong (Tang San) felt that his words made sense, but this was a matter of blood feud.
When Huo Yuhao heard Wang Dong (Tang San) say this, he did not speak. He began to think as well.
But the problem was that these words were completely unreasonable. Huo Yuhao's father, the White Tiger Duke, appeared unaware in the later plot, but there was a good chance he was pretending—perhaps he had known from the beginning, only unwilling to admit that his "useless" son would become a level 99 Limit Douluo and save the Star Luo Empire.
After all, back at the White Tiger Duke Mansion, even Huo Yuhao's half-brothers and younger brothers knew of Huo Yuhao's existence.
Then how could the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao, possibly not know? No matter how capable the White Tiger Duchess was, she could not have hidden it from everyone in the White Tiger Duke Mansion, especially the White Tiger Duke's informants.
Therefore, it was possible that the White Tiger Duke had known long ago, but upon learning that he had a useless son with level-one Innate Soul Power and an eye martial soul of little value, he chose not to meet him. That way, he could maintain his image as a devoted man.
Moreover, Huo Yun'er's suffering might also have involved some of the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao's selfish motives. Perhaps from the moment he gave her that White Tiger Dagger, he had hoped Huo Yun'er would die.
After all, who would give a dangerous weapon as a token of love? Perhaps he had wanted Huo Yun'er dead from the very beginning, but did not expect that she never thought of it that way and instead chose to seek out the White Tiger Duke Mansion. That was why the White Tiger Duchess bullied Huo Yun'er and her son like this.
Perhaps Dai Hao really had orchestrated all of this.
Of course, Huo Yuhao did not know any of this. He did not understand the details, because he was merely the child of a slave born into feudal thinking that had seeped into his bones.
He had not received any particularly impressive education, so his intelligence truly was not high. He had not considered so many possibilities, nor could he find a way to refute Wang Dong, so he said nothing.
"Now that I've succeeded, obediently become this God King's son-in-law under my training. Don't worry."
At this moment, Tang San inside Wang Dong saw the first step of successfully beginning to tame his target and knew that the plan had begun to succeed. Slowly, there would be the second and third steps, and then he would bring Huo Yuhao's parents to his side as well. That would make him even easier to control.
God King Tang had calculated everything down to the last detail. The clattering of his abacus beads was especially loud.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao did not know that he had been dragged into a conspiracy. He was basically already incapable of pulling himself free.
