Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot
#361 - Pre-war public opinion
Soon, Dai Hao was led to a magnificent and solemn hall.
"Duke, please."
Dai Hao nodded and slowly walked into the hall.
The spacious hall was built from special spar stones, the material resembling white jade.
It lacked the extravagance of a royal palace, instead giving people a sense of sanctity, untouched by the mundane world, as if it were the abode of immortals.
Looking up, on the glazed throne above sat Huo Yuhao, dressed in white, with an indifferent expression.
Seeing Huo Yuhao, Dai Hao's heart sank. This rebellious son was becoming increasingly inscrutable.
Huo Yuhao was also sizing up this old rat. Today, Dai Hao was wearing magnificent armor, the bright armor gleaming, with a large red cloak behind him, looking every bit the great general.
But he lacked the confidence to command all directions. Instead, Huo Yuhao saw only dejection. And upon closer inspection, after all these years, Dai Hao's cultivation was still only level ninety-one, a complete waste of space.
"Having seen the Venerable One, why do you not bow?"
Dai Hao was stunned, not expecting Huo Yuhao to open with such a question, but he did not react. What a joke, how could a father bow to his son?
Dai Hao did not dwell on this topic, but instead asked, "Tell me, what will it take for you to spare Hua Bin, to spare the Dai family?"
If he had any other choice, Dai Hao would not have wanted to beg this rebellious son. You see, because Huo Yuhao had once wreaked havoc in the Duke's mansion, coupled with the Heavenly Court's exclusion, the Dai family was now deteriorating. There were plenty of people in the court kicking them when they were down, and his power in the army was being gradually hollowed out.
The royal family's attitude was also unpredictable. The Dai family was already teetering on the brink, and therefore, Dai Hao had no other choice.
Here for Dai Hua Bin? This guy has no self-awareness at all, isn't he afraid of ending up here himself? Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, but then he shifted his gaze, sweeping towards the direction of the White Tiger Duke's mansion in the Star Luo Empire.
Huo Yuhao's vision pierced through endless space and obstacles, accurately locating Dai Hua Bin.
He saw it, a creature that resembled neither a pig nor a dog, covered in black fur.
Dai Hua Bin was living quite well. He still lived in his old room and even had servants attending to him.
Perhaps to maintain appearances, Dai Hua Bin, who had turned into a pig-dog, was even wearing specially made clothes, just like a pet being kept.
I was negligent. How could I let you live so comfortably? Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, and an idea came to him.
In the White Tiger Duke's mansion, Dai Hua Bin, who was idle, suddenly felt a blur before his eyes. When he saw things clearly again, he found himself in a dilapidated room.
The small space, the haphazardly piled debris, the thick dust, and the cobwebs on the walls were a far cry from the clean and tidy room he had been in before.
In three words, it was dirty, messy, and poor.
Dai Hua Bin was still in a daze when he saw dust falling from the wall, and a line of large characters emerged, "Those who interfere without permission will die."
"It's you, Huo Yuhao, it must be you. If you have the guts, kill me, what kind of ability is this?"
"Ah, kill me."
Dai Hua Bin roared in despair, but what came out of his mouth was a pig's squeal.
This sound attracted the attention of the servants outside. The servant was a little surprised, because the pig's squeal came from a woodshed, a room that was usually not cleaned and only contained some杂物.
Curious, the servant opened the door of the woodshed. When he saw the black-haired pig-dog on the ground, the servant's expression changed. Second Young Master?
Soon, Juno, who had received the news, arrived at the scene. She saw her son and even the words on the wall. Juno felt a darkness before her eyes. Huo Yuhao was trying to kill them.
Treating them the way they treated others, she had once forced their mother and son to live in a woodshed, and now Huo Yuhao was doing the same.
Dai Yueheng, who had graduated and returned to the Duke's mansion, soon received the news. He didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy. Logically speaking, he should be happy that Dai Hua Bin had lost the opportunity to compete for the title.
But Huo Yuhao's behavior was a bit humiliating. Rather than this, Dai Yueheng felt it would be better to give Dai Hua Bin a quick death.
There's a saying, 'Don't advise others to be kind without knowing their suffering.' Dai Yueheng obviously didn't understand this principle, so he could now righteously enumerate Huo Yuhao's faults.
In the Heavenly Court, Huo Yuhao finally showed a satisfied smile after doing all this. An eye for an eye, he did it even more thoroughly, doubling the repayment.
Without immediately executing Dai Hua Bin, Dai Hua Bin, apart from his wisdom, was no different from a real pig, and his lifespan was only a dozen years. There was no need to pay attention to him anymore.
"What did you do?"
Dai Hao asked tentatively, looking at the strange smile on Huo Yuhao's face. Dai Hao had an ominous premonition, feeling that something bad had happened.
"It's nothing, just changed a nest for your son! Beasts should have the consciousness of beasts! What do you say?" Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
Hearing this, the hot-tempered Dai Hao instantly flew into a rage and blurted out, "You孽障…"
Pa!
Before Dai Hao could continue, Huo Yuhao slapped Dai Hao to the ground from afar.
"Dai Hao, do you want to die?"
Dai Hao raised his head, his eyes bloodshot. He instinctively wanted to continue scolding, teaching him what was fatherly love and filial piety, the moral principles.
However, when he met Huo Yuhao's cold, icy gaze, Dai Hao woke up and felt a chill all over his body.
Suddenly, he seemed to have courage again, straightening his neck and looking directly at Huo Yuhao, "I know you are capable, but I had already ordered before I came that once something happens to me, the news will spread immediately."
"You're threatening me?" Huo Yuhao's eyes grew colder.
Dai Hao remained unmoved. He continued, "If you want to compete for the hearts of the people, if you want to seize the power of faith, you can't have a bad reputation.
How can someone who kills his brother convince the masses, how can he rule the world?
The four countries are outwardly respectful to your Heavenly Court, but how do you really feel about their true attitude?
Your prestige is too great. If you go further, will the people listen to you, or will they listen to the court, to the emperor?"
Huo Yuhao looked down at Dai Hao, without saying a word, his eyes mocking, as if to say, please continue your performance.
Dai Hao felt the contempt, endured the humiliation in his heart, and continued, "Your Heavenly Court seems strong now, but it is leaking everywhere. There is resistance and covetousness from various countries outside. What about the inside? The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can betray you. Do you think that those under your command are so loyal to you? Don't be naive.
The only people you can rely on forever are your own family."
