Chapter 1400: Within the Family
Dark City was restless today, with roiling dark clouds, flashing lightning, and roaring cold winds as if to mirror the foul mood of some individuals.
As a noble of the Organization X, Xue Long had privileges and there were few in Dark City who would dare to provoke him.
Yet today, Xue Long was beaten to a pulp, covered in blood, and riddled with wounds. He was even kneeling on the ground, his eyes filled only with panic, showing no intention of resistance.
In Organization X, the only one who could torment a noble like this was Xue Wang.
"Speak, why gather your men? What are you intending to do?" Xue Wang’s gaze was chilling as he looked at the trembling Xue Long before him, showing not the slightest intention of mercy. Xue Wang was furious, extremely so.
Xue Long explained, "I heard that recently many mercenaries planned to attack Dark City. Those of us who were out on business feared it wouldn’t be safe to return, so we decided to gather and come back to Dark City together."
"Nonsense, you think I don’t know?" Xue Wang kicked Xue Long to the ground and whipped him several more times, causing Xue Long on the ground to curl up and silently endure.
Lord Xiong sat on the side, indifferently watching. This was an internal matter of the X Family and he did not find it appropriate to interfere.
Just then, someone came to report, "Lord Xue Wang, there is a situation. Xue Xi and Xue Bei have arrived at the gate."
