"Wang Dong, you might not know my thoughts, and you haven't experienced what I have. You probably don't know what I used to eat. I only ever wanted a bite of a warm pancake, a piece of hot food. My mother could only make it in secret and hide it against her chest, only taking it out once she reached me."

"It wasn't that we couldn't cook for ourselves in the White Tiger Duke Mansion, but we were suppressed. The noble mistress wouldn't allow us to eat well at all; if she saw us, she would bully us. That is why I am so furious. I want to kill them. You simply don't understand how they bullied my mother and me."

Huo Yuhao still possessed some intelligence at this moment and was not so easily swayed.

Wang Dong (Tang San) had not yet managed to manipulate the current Huo Yuhao into an easily controlled puppet, or rather, a dog that could be easily steered.

The current Huo Yuhao still knew how to refute; he was not so easily deceived.

"Furthermore, Wang Dong, you don't understand. I was constantly bullied at the White Tiger Duke Mansion. We would clean the mansion—my mother and I—and those people would bully us whenever they felt like it. They would deliberately pick faults while we were cleaning, and if we hadn't done it perfectly, or if they didn't have a good excuse, they would strike us directly."

"All of this is because of the 'good wife' my noble father married—that noble mistress. No matter what, I cannot forgive them. Therefore, I must have my revenge; no one can stop me."

"I must seek justice for my mother so that she can rest in peace."

"Wang Dong, I know what you are thinking. You want to say that the nobleman—my father—is my biological father after all, and you don't want me to kill my own father with my own hands. I can understand that; after all, he is indeed my father. But the problem is that you haven't experienced the pain I have suffered. You simply cannot understand me, so I hope you will stop trying to dissuade me."

After Huo Yuhao said this, Wang Dong did not say anything on the surface, but the problem was that the Tang San within Wang Dong truly did not know what to say.

I just wanted to see if I could better tame you, so I gave myself a reason. It seems that although taming you is difficult right now, if you are this good at finding your own reasons, then it shouldn't be a problem to slowly groom you into a son-in-law of the Tang Clan. After all, this is for the sake of Douluo Planet, for the sake of the entire world. This is the right thing to do.

The consciousness of Tang San said this at this moment, then transmitted the information to the Tang San in the God Realm.

The consciousness of Tang San, just like Tang San himself, was a shameless and disgusting existence.

It was essentially an incarnation of a sliver of Tang San's consciousness, inheriting the same level of disgusting nature as the original, doing everything to maximize his own interests.

"Huo Yuhao, I don't know what to say, because I don't have a father like that. I was raised by Big Uncle and Second Uncle—they are my father's brothers—since I was young. I have always been very happy and have never been abused."

"But I can also imagine that your father might be unaware. Your noble father might not know the situation at all, might not know these detailed circumstances, and might know nothing. If you say you want to make that noble father pay a price just like that, isn't that a bit unfair?"

Wang Dong (Tang San) began to speak at this moment.

"According to what you've said, you haven't even seen your noble father; he might not even know you exist. There is a strong possibility that your existence and your mother's were hidden by that noble mistress, so he knew nothing at all. That is why the noble mistress—your noble father's wife—was able to bully you like that."

"If your noble father didn't even know you existed and was busy every day, wouldn't it be unfair to him if you wanted to destroy him just like that?"

Wang Dong (Tang San) felt that what he said made sense, but the problem was that in this matter, this was a blood feud.

Huo Yuhao heard what Wang Dong (Tang San) said and did not speak, also beginning to ponder.

However, the problem was that this statement was completely unreasonable. In the later plot, although the White Tiger Duke, Huo Yuhao's father, appeared to be unaware on the surface, it was highly likely that he was pretending—he might have known from the very beginning, but simply refused to admit that his "useless" son would actually become a 99th-rank Limit Douluo and save the Star Luo Empire.

After all, at that time in the White Tiger Duke Mansion, even those half-brothers of Huo Yuhao, and even his younger brother, knew of Huo Yuhao's existence.

So, how could the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao, not know? Even if the White Tiger Duchess had great ability, it would be impossible to hide it from everyone in the White Tiger Duke Mansion, especially from the White Tiger Duke's own informants.

Therefore, it is possible that the White Tiger Duke knew all along but, upon learning that his son was a "useless" child with only Rank 1 Innate Soul Power and an eye-type martial soul of no value, he chose not to see him, which also allowed him to maintain his image of being a devoted man.

Furthermore, it is very likely that Huo Yun'er's plight also involved some selfish motives of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao. Perhaps from the very beginning, when he gave her that White Tiger Dagger, he had hoped for Huo Yun'er to die.

After all, who would give a dangerous weapon as a token of love? It is very likely that he hoped for Huo Yun'er to die from the start, but he didn't expect that she hadn't thought of it that way and had instead chosen to find the White Tiger Duke Mansion, which is why the White Tiger Duchess was able to bully Huo Yun'er and her son like that.

There might truly have been a scheme by Dai Hao in all of this.

Of course, Huo Yuhao did not know this. Huo Yuhao was not clear on the detailed situation; after all, he was just a child born to a slave deeply ingrained with feudal ideology.

He had not received much of an education, so his intelligence was truly not high. He did not think of these many possibilities, and he could not find a point to refute Wang Dong, so he remained silent.

Once you succeed, just honestly accept my grooming as a God King and become my son-in-law. Don't worry about it.

The Tang San within Wang Dong, seeing the first step of the target being successfully tamed, knew that the plan had begun to succeed. Slowly, there would be a second and third step, and then, he would bring his parents to his side as well, which would make it even easier to control him.

The Great God King Tang could be said to have calculated everything; the sound of his abacus beads was exceptionally loud.

Huo Yuhao, at this moment, did not know that he had already been drawn into a conspiracy and was basically unable to pull himself out.
