"As a son, how could you run off and leave your father behind? Tell me, just how are you acting as the family head? Even if you were going to run, you should have taken your father with you!"
The moment Huo Hai entered the hall, he heard his grandfather's booming voice. Then his second uncle's voice rang out as well. "Big Brother, how could you bear to watch your little brother be molested? Those damned bastards tore so many strips of cloth off me!" His second uncle's aggrieved tone made Huo Hai's skin crawl. Wasn't that the sort of thing only a little girl who had been violated would say?
Listening to them, Huo Hai gradually understood what had happened. In the end, it was still because Huo Kai had slipped away yesterday by using Huo Hai's name. Huo Kai was fine, but Huo Feng and Huo Ran had ended up surrounded.
They had not stopped until nightfall. Someone knew not who had actually taken advantage of the chaos to tear strips of cloth off Huo Ran. By the time everyone dispersed, Huo Ran's clothes had nearly turned into beggar's rags.
Fortunately, Huo Feng was more respected, and his cultivation was not weak either. With his spirit power protecting him, he had not fallen victim to their dirty hands. After returning, the two of them had been filled with resentment. Naturally, they could not vent that resentment on Huo Hai. Huo Hai was a junior, but his status was high. Moreover, Huo Hai was now one of the Huo Family's most important people.
Naturally, the target of their venting was Huo Kai, who had caused this whole affair. By the time Huo Hai entered the hall, Huo Kai had already endured their alternating bombardment for a full two hours.
