Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Zhou Qi looked at his youngest son, tears streaming down his face, wailing miserably, presenting a pathetic image of a man driven to ruin and despair.

Huo Yuhao regarded him with cold eyes. This world was like that – the strong preyed on the weak, and the fittest survived. If he hadn't possessed some strength, he would have been lying dead on the streets the first time he met these people from the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce.

"Go to hell, you eunuch, you coward!"

Zhu Shan had originally intended to grab the eldest of the three brothers, but for some reason, he suddenly retreated a few steps, cursing angrily.

Huo Yuhao smelled a pungent odor. His gaze swept over and saw the eldest of the three brothers slumped on the ground, a large patch of the cement floor beneath him already wet. He had actually been scared into urinating.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao grinned, speechless. They said a tiger father would not beget a dog son. This Zhou Qi could be considered a figure, his cultivation reaching the Soul Douluo level, so how could he have sired such a worthless son?

"Stop dawdling and get rid of them quickly. Afterward, arrange for people to go to their home and send this old guy's wives and concubines down to reunite with him."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand impatiently, a look of disgust on his face.

"Yes, sir."

Zhu Shan responded and drew a long saber from who knows where, slowly approaching the three, a cruel expression on his face.

Zhou Qi's burly body trembled violently upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, followed by uncontrollable shivers. He feared death, but he feared even more that his family would be harmed. The Body Sect was giving them no way out.

Unfortunately, his soul power was sealed at this moment, making it impossible for him to fight to the death.

Moonlight streamed through the window into the woodshed, falling on the long saber, giving it an added touch of murderous intent.

Looking at Zhu Shan approaching, and the eerie cold light flashing on the long saber in his hand, the eldest of the three brothers felt as if the other man was not a person, but the Black and White Impermanence, come to claim his soul.

"Dad, save me! Save me! I don't want to die, Dad! I still need to carry on the Zhou family line, Dad!"

The eldest son wept bitterly, displaying his fear of death to the fullest extent.

The second brother beside him was not much better. He was slumped on the ground, his whole body trembling, an endless fear filling his heart. He suddenly felt somewhat dazed, remembering the commoners they had once oppressed, and how they must have felt facing him, just like he felt now – desperate and helpless.

"Sir, please spare us! As long as you spare us, I'll give you anything you want! We'll be your dogs and horses from now on!"

Hearing his son's voice, Zhou Qi felt as if his heart was being torn apart. For the sake of his family's lives, Zhou Qi lowered his proud head and knelt down.

"This subordinate is willing to serve you with the utmost loyalty, and begs for a chance."

Zhou Qi could sense the softening in Huo Yuhao's words and immediately seized the opportunity, banging his forehead heavily on the ground.

He was already calling himself a subordinate, how eager. Huo Yuhao stared at him, not saying a word for several breaths, seemingly deliberating. Zhou Qi didn't dare to look up. In just a dozen seconds, his back was soaked with sweat. He intuitively felt that the gaze of the young man in front of him was like a giant mountain, pressing down on him and making it difficult to breathe.

"Get up."

The cold voice entered his ears, and Zhou Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the lives of his family should be safe.

In fact, Huo Yuhao had planned to subdue Zhou Qi before he even came. He wanted to build his own strength, and while financial resources were not the most important thing, they were an absolutely indispensable part, and the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce was very suitable.

If he hadn't planned to subdue the Spirit Treasure Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Qi and the others would have been corpses long ago. Why else would Huo Yuhao have wasted so much time talking to them?

Zhu Shan's gaze flickered, and he also thought of this point. No wonder the young master had stated in his previous message that he should not kill them.

"I know you are resentful and unconvinced, but it doesn't matter. You just need to remember that you only have one chance. If you dare to betray me, I will never be soft-hearted. Don't blame me for implicating the innocent and uprooting you all."

Huo Yuhao said coldly, inadvertently glancing at the second of the three brothers, who shuddered in fear.

"Yes, sir, this subordinate has no second intentions."

Zhou Qi bowed slightly, adopting a humble posture.

"Your Chamber of Commerce will continue to develop. For the time being, I don't need you to do anything. I will have someone notify you when there is something to do. Also, keep an eye on your sons. If I find out that they are acting recklessly again, forcibly abducting women… heh."

Huo Yuhao didn't continue, but everyone could hear the coldness in his voice.

"Rest assured, sir, this subordinate will definitely discipline them well and ensure that such incidents never happen again," Zhou Qi hurriedly stated.

Huo Yuhao said no more, and opened a spatial portal in front of him, stepping inside.

Watching Huo Yuhao disappear, Zhou Qi's tense body relaxed slightly. It was a close call. He almost lost his life, and almost ruined his entire family.

At the same time, the spatial portal that Huo Yuhao left through made Zhou Qi realize that this lord was not as simple as he had imagined. He had originally thought that Huo Yuhao was just a junior with a slightly better talent, and that his humble obedience was only out of fear of the Body Sect behind him.

But now it seemed that he might have been wrong. He might have underestimated that young lord.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao returned to the hotel room through the spatial portal. He had originally planned to spend the night on the sofa, but when he looked at the bed, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled.

On the heart-shaped bed, Xue Di was lying on her left side, her body almost at the edge of the bed, while there was a large space on her right side.

Huo Yuhao was not a steel straight man with low emotional intelligence. Seeing this, how could he not know what it meant? He chuckled inwardly, thinking, 'Such a hypocritical woman.'

He went to the bedside, took off his shoes, and then got into bed and under the covers. During this time, Xue Di did not react at all, as if she was asleep.

Huo Yuhao moved towards the middle of the bed, then reached out and put his arm around Xue Di's waist, pulling her into his arms.

He could clearly feel Xue Di's body stiffen slightly. Huo Yuhao knew that this should be the limit that Xue Di could currently accept, so he didn't do anything excessive.

And so, he held Xue Di's soft body, inhaling her unique fragrance, and fell into a deep sleep.

Xue Di's nose twitched slightly. After not smelling Bing'er's or any other woman's scent on the man's body, the corners of her lips turned up slightly, and she actually felt a bit of joy in her heart.
