565 Bolt of Lightning
The butler subconsciously stood in front of the old man and looked around warily. He shouted, “Who, who is talking? This is the Hong family, not a place for you to fool around. Get out!”
It had to be said that the butler was very loyal. He was still fearless in the face of an unknown threat and used his body to shield his master
However, the reason why he had been loyal to Elder Hong for so many years was because he had ambitions. Elder Hong had told him many times about the use of the spirit crystal. He had endured for so many years just to obtain it.
Just as he was about to succeed, someone actually came out to ruin his plan.
This was intolerable.
“Get out?” As Qin Xi sneered, she suddenly appeared in front of the three of them. “It’s too early to say who will get out.”
Elder Hong and the butler asked in unison, “Who are you?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. You wanted to kill my entire family, but you don’t even know me.” Qin Xi casually walked to the sofa and sat down. She crossed her legs and looked at the master and servant with disdain. She took out the pendant and swung it back and forth in the air. “This is mine. Who do you think I am? Huh?”
Facing the mysterious woman, the two of them looked at each other and saw the shock and fear in each other’s eyes.
Qin Xi looked at the two of them with a smile and asked, “Tell me, why did you spend so much effort to find this pendant?”
At this moment, the two of them slowly calmed down. The butler was much more anxious than Elder Hong. After waiting for so many years, he did not want his efforts to go to waste.
However, he could feel that Qin Xi was not easy to deal with. His eyes lit up as he looked at Qin Xi deeply.
“Young lady, there must be a misunderstanding. When did we say that we wanted to kill your entire family? This is a law-based society. We won’t dare to kill people. The Hong family has been in the capital for so long, but we’ve never done anything evil…”
Hearing the butler lie through his teeth, Qin Xi said with a faint smile, “Oh? You’ve never done anything evil? Do you dare to swear? Swear that if what you say is false, the entire Hong family will die a horrible death.”
“Do you dare?”
Elder Hong’s face darkened. He thought to himself, “It is not gonna hurt to swear.”
“The Hong family has been established for a hundred years and has a clear conscience. Why would I be afraid?” A second ago, Elder Hong was very confident. However, in the next second, he seemed to have fallen into an abyss. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.
It was because Qin Xi revealed a strange smile. “You have to think carefully before you say it.”
Elder Hong’s heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he felt that Qin Xi’s smile made him shudder. He felt like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. However, since it concerned the spiritual crystal, he could only grit his teeth and make a vow.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning flashed across the clear sky and struck the Hong family’s old residence. The commotion attracted everyone’s attention.
