He Ate a Divine Dragon-Chapter 480 - 478: Take Them Down for Me

「Han Family.」

Ever since Han Shizong got out of bed, he had felt a certain unease. As the helmsman of the Han Family, he couldn't remember the last time he had felt this way. Since joining the A9 Alliance more than a decade ago, Han Shizong had forgotten what it was like to feel unsettled.

Speaking of which, the Han Family had once been just a second-tier clan in Jinhai City. They had somehow hit a stroke of incredible luck and were selected to join the A9 Alliance. Since then, the Han Family had soared as if on a cheat code, leaping to become the top family in Jinhai City in just a few years.

Perhaps it was this feeling of unease that made Han Shizong extremely uncomfortable. So, in a rare break from routine, he decided not to go to the company.

"Dad, Little Four has been missing for over ten hours. No one's answering his phone, and nobody knows where he went!" The speaker was Han Shizong's eldest son, Han Tian.

Han Shizong had four sons, and Han Tian was currently his assistant. Truth be told, Han Shizong was quite satisfied with his eldest son. He was diligent, intelligent, and capable. Han Shizong even vaguely considered handing over the heavy burden of the Han Family to him when his time came.

After hearing Han Tian's words, Han Shizong finally understood the source of his unease. My youngest son has always been so spoiled and willful. Could something have happened to him?

"Didn't he say he was going to Jinling City to see some friends?" Han Shizong asked in a deep voice. His youngest son had called him just last night, saying he was going to Jinling City for fun.

"Dad, I've already asked our contacts in Jinling City to inquire, but there's no news at all. Nothing could have happened to Little Four, could it?"

Han Shizong fell silent, the unease in his heart growing ever stronger.

Just then, the butler ran in, frantic. "Master, something's happened!"

Han Shizong's expression darkened. The butler, surnamed Liu, had been with the Han Family for many years. He was always composed and meticulous in his duties. He wouldn't be this flustered unless something truly important had occurred.

"What happened?" Han Shizong asked coldly.

The butler stammered, "A beggar has arrived!"

"A single beggar makes you this flustered?"

"No, Master, he's not alone! He has the Fourth Young Master with him, and... and..."

"And what?" Han Shizong demanded sternly.

"And the Fourth Young Master is covered in blood! He appears to be gravely injured!"

BOOM!

Han Shizong's face instantly turned ashen.

The next second, he shot to his feet and sprinted out of the villa. Han Tian followed close behind.

Lin Xiao stood in the courtyard of the Han family's villa. At his feet lay the barely breathing piece of trash. Bei Kuang stood at Lin Xiao's side.

"Dragon Lord, this Han Family is certainly large and prosperous!"

Lin Xiao smiled. "The Han Family is a member of the A9 Alliance. It's only normal for them to be prosperous. It'd be strange if they were struggling."

"What? The Han Family is a member of the A9 Alliance?" Bei Kuang asked, somewhat surprised.

Lin Xiao laughed. "That's right. But my Fourth Master is the head of Kyushu's number one financial consortium. The A9 Alliance is his creation."

Bei Kuang instantly brightened. "I really wonder how the Han Family will handle this."

"I'm looking forward to it, too," Lin Xiao said with a grin.

Just as he spoke, the sound of frantic footsteps reached Lin Xiao's ears. He looked toward the sound and saw an old man with an imposing air, followed by a younger man. The elder was clearly Han Shizong, the helmsman of the Han Family.

Han Shizong spotted his son immediately. He rushed over in a panic and cradled him in his arms. Seeing his son so grievously injured, Han Shizong's heart felt as if it were being torn apart.

He roared, "Who? Who did this!"

"I did," Lin Xiao replied nonchalantly.

Han Shizong jerked his head up. His gaze, fixed on Lin Xiao, instantly turned razor-sharp as a frightening aura burst from him. At that moment, Han Shizong was like an enraged lion.

However, he didn't lash out immediately. "Tian, call the doctors!" Han Shizong ordered in a low voice.

Han Tian nodded, his expression grim, and quickly made the call. In no time, several men in white coats appeared at the Han estate. They swiftly carried the piece of trash away, with Han Tian following them.

Han Shizong didn't follow. His eyes remained fixed on Lin Xiao, filled with a seething hatred that seemed ready to devour him whole.

Yet Lin Xiao paid him no mind, strolling into the living room as if he owned the place. Han Shizong followed, his rage simmering.

"A cup of tea, please," Lin Xiao said calmly.

Han Shizong signaled a servant with a look. The servant quickly went to brew the tea and, a moment later, placed a cup before Lin Xiao.

"What is your name?" Han Shizong asked coldly.

"Lin Xiao."

"Why did you harm my son?"

"It's simple. He coveted my wife and tried to force himself on her."

Han Shizong seemed to find this laughable. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. "What are you implying? Are you here to blackmail me?"

Lin Xiao was stunned. This old man's train of thought is really something else. "Blackmail? What makes you say that?"

"Hmph. For someone like you, how attractive could your wife possibly be? My son may be spoiled, but his standards aren't that low!"

For someone like me, how attractive could my wife be? Lin Xiao laughed. He nodded and said, "You're half right. The half you got right is that your son's taste is indeed not bad."

"Hmph, so what? Are you certain it was my son who coveted your wife? Are you sure it wasn't your wife who saw my son and tried to seduce him?" Han Shizong said viciously.

"Slap him," Lin Xiao ordered coldly.

Bei Kuang nodded.

Han Shizong glared at Lin Xiao. "What did you say?" He couldn't seem to believe what he had just heard.

But what he believed no longer mattered. With lightning speed, Bei Kuang struck him across the face with a resounding slap before retreating to Lin Xiao's side as if nothing had happened at all.

Han Shizong was instantly incandescent with rage. He, the esteemed head of the Han Family and a member of the A9 Alliance, had just been humiliated by a filthy beggar. He couldn't swallow this insult. Of course, he couldn't.

Ever since joining the A9 Alliance, Han Shizong's life had been exceedingly comfortable. For years, wherever he went, people would respectfully address him as Mr. Han. But now, he had been disgraced by a common beggar. His gaze, fixed on Lin Xiao, became even more venomous.

"What's the matter? Not convinced?" Lin Xiao asked with a cold laugh.

Han Shizong retorted coldly, "Boy, do you know where you are?"

"What, is this not the Han residence?"

"So, you know this is the Han residence, and you still dare to cause trouble?"

Lin Xiao shrugged. "What do you mean? I thought I came to resolve this peacefully."

Han Shizong's gaze turned vicious. "A peaceful resolution? Is beating my youngest son half to death what you call peaceful? Is slapping me across the face your idea of a peaceful resolution? Boy, I don't think you came here to resolve anything!"

"Then what do you think I'm here for?"

"You're here to die!" Han Shizong roared. "Seize him!"
