Chapter 394: Chapter 131: Song Chi Is Mrs. Huo’s Son
Huo Canghai tightened the scepter in his hand.
At this moment, he truly wanted to kill Xu Xingguang to quench his anger.
As Xu Xingguang said, Huo Canghai indeed indulged Huo Yunsheng because he was Huo Canghai’s first child and most resembled Huo Canghai’s father.
Although Huo Canghai knew Huo Yunsheng had gone astray, his long stay in power had made him arrogant, and he seldom considered others’ life and death.
Therefore, even knowing that his son had harmed many innocent girls and was the chief culprit in Huo Wen’an’s abuse by Huo Qinyou, he still chose to favor his son.
He couldn’t help it; a father and son are connected at the heart.
Huo Wen’an knew Huo Canghai too well and caught the fierce killing intent in Huo Canghai’s eyes.
He instinctively placed his hand horizontally behind Xu Xingguang, in a protective stance, fearlessly meeting Huo Canghai’s gaze, speaking in a steady voice, "Grandfather, you are already 92 years old, and I am only 29. Do you really think you still are that indisputable Lord Captain on the Divine Concealment Island?"
Hearing Huo Wen’an’s words, Uncle Xia and Uncle Chun, along with the other housekeepers, all had a drastic change in expression.
Meanwhile, outside, unknown when, Cheng Yue had led 14 Iron Blood Warriors, along with thousands of guards from Divine Concealment Island, and already surrounded the Upper Helm Mansion in layers.
Uncle Chun saw the situation outside the hall, gasped in shock and reminded, "Captain, there is a rebellion outside."
Rebellion.
All the guards of Divine Concealment Island had turned their backs on Huo Canghai, becoming Huo Wen’an’s subordinates.
Huo Canghai squinted his hawk eyes slightly and tremblingly stood up with his scepter.
Turning around, he looked through the window at the armored troops outside, cracking a cold smile, "Very well indeed! Huo Wen’an, you are even more ruthless than I am."
Huo Canghai knew Huo Wen’an’s ambition was heavy, and he was pleased to see Huo Wen’an taking power away from his hands. But when Huo Wen’an truly bared his fangs at his neck, he still felt angry.
Huo Wen’an took Huo Canghai’s words as praise.
He said, "Grandfather, you have always said you have high hopes for me, hoping I can surpass you. Back in the day, you coerced the former Pilot’s family, forcing him to give up power. As for me, I did not hold your children hostage, nor did I harm the mistress of the Moon Palace."
Huo Wen’an modestly said, "Compared to you, Grandfather, I still have some conscience."
The old and the young stared at each other, saying nothing for a moment, the atmosphere tense and poised, making people’s hearts uneasy.
This was a silent confrontation; the first to speak would be the loser in this confrontation.
"Huo Wen’an." Huo Canghai was the first to speak. He looked at the woman behind Huo Wen’an and said sinisterly, "This girl can scheme against your father today and scheme against you in the future. She has a vicious heart, unlike any ordinary woman. Do you really want to oppose me for her?"
Huo Wen’an stood up from his wheelchair.
He didn’t use a cane, walking slowly but firmly to Huo Canghai’s side.
Looking at the poised guards outside the window, he said with deep affection and no regret, "Grandfather, you have your Princess, and I have my femme fatale. As long as it’s someone you identify with, you won’t regret it."
Huo Canghai let out a disdainful snort from his nose.
In his view, Andariel was the best girl in the world, whereas Xu Xingguang was the most vicious woman in the world. In Huo Canghai’s eyes, they were incomparable.
Yet, how many people in this world agreed with him and Andariel being together?
Matters of the heart, one person’s honey is another person’s arsenic, only the parties involved understand the true taste.
In his view, Xu Xingguang was a ruthless, world-scheming, femme fatale. But from Huo Wen’an’s perspective, Xu Xingguang was the person who protected him the most in this world.
Let it be.
Sons and grandsons have their own fortunes.
"Huo Wen’an, you have won." Huo Canghai had to look up to see Huo Wen’an’s face clearly. He suddenly realized that Huo Wen’an was a soaring eagle, fighting in the blue sky, no longer a fledgling child.
He was only 29, while he was already 92 years old; he indeed was no longer a match for Huo Wen’an.
Turning his hunched body, he said to Uncle Chun and Uncle Xia, "Have these four ladies sent off Divine Concealment Island and send Mister back home to recuperate."
Looking upstairs again, Huo Canghai said, "Arrange a new house for the first Madam, let her live alone."
Nothing else did Huo Canghai plan to manage anymore.
Upon hearing his father’s words, Huo Yunsheng protested relentlessly, "Father, are you even going to ignore me?" His father having Mrs. Huo moved to another house to live alone meant he wanted to draw a clear line from Huo Yunsheng.
