Chapter 887 - A Vicious Character (1/2)

Ling Sheng shot him a disdainful look. Tsk, bootlicker! Yes-man!

However, this Edward was also a talent. He did not have any evidence, yet he had dared to call her father out to threaten him. If he was an ordinary person, he would definitely have been deceived by this old hand.

Actually, deception made use of the human heart. If one was deceived by him, it could only mean that one had a guilty conscience and was mentally unstable. However, her father was someone who attacked without hesitation instead of wasting time talking to him.

For example, a fool like Huo Feifei had been deceived. She had been greedy for riches and the enjoyment and sense of superiority that his fake identity had brought her.

Huo Xiao and the others were all waiting in the living room, but they didn’t see Huo Ci return.

“Father, Father, you have to support me!” At this moment, Huo Pei could only place his hopes on the Old Master. He knelt beside him while crying and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m his elder brother. If I kneel to him, will there be any justice in the world? Is there any order in the world?”

He did not believe that Sixth Brother hadn’t tampered with it. He only hated himself for being careless. He hated himself for not having expected him to do it so cleanly.

However, he refused to give the assets he had to Sixth Brother no matter what. The only valuable assets he had were the jewelry business. If he gave them to Sixth Brother, what kind of life would their family look forward to in the future?

The onlookers glanced at one another. What was this called? A greedy man is like a snake which tries to swallow an elephant. He suffered a double loss after trying to trick his enemy!

No one could blame Sixth Brother for wiping his tracks cleanly. However, Fifth Brother could only blame himself for being too greedy. If he had not been eyeing the items in Sixth Brother’s hands, this situation would not have happened.

Now, it seemed like he was planning to deny everything and plead the Old Master for leniency.

“Father, Fifth Brother is right. He’s the elder brother, and Sixth Brother is the younger brother. It’s not reasonable for an elder brother to kneel before a younger brother in this world.” Huo Ji was the first to speak. After all, Fifth Brother was his own brother. As the saying goes, biological brothers fight a tiger while fathers and sons go to battle together[1].

Who did Huo Ci think he was? If he didn’t help his own brother, was he supposed to help an outsider?

“That’s right, Father. Fifth Brother only said that because he was compelled by anxiety too. What bet? We’re all brothers. How can it be so serious, right?” Huo Li knew very well that Sixth Brother was already tempted to deal with them. If they still took part in internal strife, how could they fight Sixth Brother?

“There’s no overnight feud between brothers. Father, please let Fifth Brother off this time,” Huo Ting also spoke up. However, he was tugged by his wife, Jiang Meiyun, and she even glared at him, not allowing him to speak.

Huo Zhen was present, but his face remained dark and expressionless. Even when the other brothers were speaking, he did not show any emotion.

However, the veins on his hand, which was holding the walking stick, were bulging. His veins could be seen clearly, and his lowered eyes were full of hatred.

This was obviously a trap set by Sixth Brother to make Fifth Brother jump inside. Early on, he had already reminded them that Sixth Brother was not a fool. He was just a tiger that had temporarily retracted his sharp claws and teeth. They had to be careful of him!

However, what did they do? They still treated him like a paper tiger. They always felt that he was protected by his sworn brothers who had gone through life-and-death situations with him. That was why he could be arrogant and domineering. That was why he could be so condescending yet remain safe. Otherwise, he would have been killed countless times.

However, why couldn’t they use their brains to think about it? What right did a paper tiger have to be protected by the guardian of the Rong Family, protected by the guardian of the Yan Family at the risk of his life, for the Jiang Family to be totally devoted to him and that person of the Lu Family to call him Sixth Brother?
