After two months of recuperation, and with the nourishment from Huo Yuhao using the Gold of Life, Ju Zi's health has improved considerably, and she is now able to take care of Yunhan on her own.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's true form had a new task to do.
He said softly to Ju Zi, " Ju Zi, take good care of Yunhan. I have some personal business to attend to. I'll have my clone come back to protect you."
Ju Zi nodded. She understood what Huo Yuhao meant by "private matter": murder. Who did he kill? The enemy who had bullied him and his mother.
Huo Yuhao's strength has now reached the Titled Douluo.
Having the strength to accomplish this, he wouldn't hesitate. His previous decision to stay and take care of others was understandable, given his own health and safety concerns.
Now, her health has improved considerably, and Huo Yuhao has time to deal with the matter.
The little guy, Yunhan, is currently looking at his father with an adorable expression.
Huo Yuhao walked up to Ju Zi and stroked Yunhan's little face, while Huo Yunhan couldn't help but smile when he saw Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yunhan laughed, and Huo Yuhao smiled gently at him as well.
Then he handed his finger to Huo Yunhan, and Huo Yunhan's chubby little hand grasped Huo Yuhao's finger.
"Son, be a good boy and wait for Daddy to come home."
Then he kissed the Ju Zi goodbye.
He tore open a spatial rift, glanced at his wife and children a couple more times, and then jumped into the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
Huo Yuhao wasn't in a hurry. Making a move now would attract too much attention. It would be better to wait until nightfall and wait for an opportunity to strike, which would also give the White Tiger Duke's Wife a good scare.
I wonder if Dai Huabin is here; if so, we can kill him together.
Killing two birds with one stone.
At night, Huo Yuhao stood on the rooftop of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
It was able to pinpoint the location of the White Tiger Duke's Wife.
Evil smile crept across Huo Yuhao's lips, cold and sinister, utterly devoid of warmth. "You're still alive, that's wonderful, hahaha."
"That way I can personally send you to hell, making you pay for the pain you caused me and my mother."
"It's just a pity that Dai Huabin isn't here at this time. What a shame."
The White Tiger Duke's Wife was clearly arrogant and haughty.
When she returned to her room.
Huo Yuhao sat down in her chair, holding a cup and drinking tea.
The White Tiger Duke's Wife was startled when she saw the black-haired, blue-eyed boy before her.
Then, looking horrified, he asked, "Who are you, daring to break into the White Tiger Duke's Mansion alone at night?"
Huo Yuhao then put down his teacup and said to the White Tiger Duke's Wife, "I'm an acquaintance of yours and your son, why are you being so formal?"
The White Tiger Duke's Wife contracted, and she said, "An acquaintance? My son?"
He stood up, approaching step by step, his tone sharp as a knife. "You've hit the nail on the head. I know both your eldest and youngest sons. I spent some time in your White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and I have some unpleasant memories from that period."
The White Tiger Duke's Wife's expression changed slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm and said in a low voice, "Could it be that Huabin caused this trouble again?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled softly, but his voice was as cold as ice. "Are you thinking that your youngest son, Dai Huabin, caused all this trouble? Did he mess with someone he shouldn't have?"
The Duchess was taken aback and blurted out, "How did you know?"
Huo Yuhao's tone was chilling; although he had maintained this attitude since entering the place, he said to the Duchess, "Of course, of course it's your arrogant, idiotic son, Dai Huabin. He provoked me, and I was originally here to kill him today."
The Duchess angrily retorted, "What did you say?"
Huo Yuhao repeated himself, word by word. "I said, I'm going to kill your son, Dai Huabin."
The Duchess then tried to push open the door and shout, "Guards! There's an assassin! There's an assassin!"
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao calmly interrupted, "Go ahead and scream. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will listen. This entire area is surrounded by my Soul Power; no one can hear anything from here."
The Duchess trembled, finally revealing a look of fear. "What do you want? You can't kill my son! I can give you anything you want—money, even his Soul Bone —as long as you don't kill him!"
Huo Yuhao shook his head, a hint of mockery in his voice. "This is a difficult situation. He's my enemy. I killed him purely because I wanted to kill him; that's my motive."
"Of course, besides him being my enemy, I also have enemies in your household, among them..."
The Duchess's heart tightened, fearing he would mention Dai Yueheng's name again, and she quickly asked, "Who else?
Huo Yuhao said slowly, "And you too, White Tiger Duke's Wife."
The Duchess shook her head repeatedly, her face filled with disbelief. "Impossible! I've never even seen you before. How could I possibly be your enemy? This is simply impossible!"
Huo Yuhao's voice was low, yet tinged with a hint of sarcasm. "Why is it impossible? How can you say we've never met before?"
The Duchess looked puzzled and bewildered.
Huo Yuhao continued, "I can tell you my name. My name is Huo Yuhao."
The Duchess broke out in a cold sweat. "You're Huo Yuhao, the one Huabin provoked who's now Titled Douluo? Even though Huabin has a grudge against you, why are you saying I have a grudge against you?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Haha, of course, you must have forgotten, a woman named Huo Yun'er, she is my mother."
The Duchess shuddered, instantly realizing something, her voice shrill. "You're that bitch's son! You've come back to avenge her?"
Huo Yuhao laughed out loud, his words bordering on madness. He said, "I am Huo Yun'er's son, White Tiger Duke's Wife. You constantly oppressed my mother and me back then. Even when we were living a life worse than servants, you still wouldn't let us go."
"Why"
The Duchess suddenly laughed, her voice filled with resentment, "That Huo Yun'er is nothing but a maid, and you're just his illegitimate child from a one-night stand—to put it bluntly, a bastard. I, the Duchess, could have avoided targeting you so much, but who told Dai Hao to dote on your mother so much?"
"That's why I targeted her. Why should he give his love to someone else when I am the Duchess?"
Her eyes twisted in anger, and she almost gritted her teeth. "I am the Duchess! His love, his gaze, should belong to me! Why should it be shared with others? Why! Your mother, Dai Luoli's mother... their very existence is the greatest insult to the Duchess!"
She raised her chin, her tone filled with bitter hatred. "Blame your mother for falling in love with someone she shouldn't have. She overestimated herself and deserved to pay the price!"
"Your lives are a consequence of your own actions."
Seeing the Duchess's frantic state, Huo Yuhao said to her, "Is that so? We brought this on ourselves. Now the tables have turned. Do you regret it?"
P. S.: Okay, guys, this is just a small revenge for now. The Duchess is going to die here, so next up is Dai Huabin.
