Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Expelled from the Zhou Family

Seeing the state of the old Zhou Family patriarch, Zhou Xianren and Zhou Xiande exchanged glances, confirming that the old man was done for, so they no longer bothered to conceal their intentions.

"The third brother has already gone abroad. Now, all the overseas assets of the Zhou Family have been transferred to his name; he has completely severed ties with the Zhou Family."

Zhou Xianren straightened his clothes and said proudly, "Haomin has also gone abroad first. He was already living overseas, so he went ahead to set things up. Afterwards, I’ll also go abroad to enjoy my life."

"Oh really, so you’re planning to flee and no one is considering the family’s interests?" Hearing this, the old master Zhou became infuriated.

"Old man, at this point, stop harping on about the family’s interests," Zhou Xiande, with his legs crossed, said indifferently:

"The doctor has already told us to prepare for your funeral. Just die peacefully, and considering our father-son relationship, we will still provide you with a grand funeral."

"Nonsense, you unfilial son." The old master Zhou furiously grabbed a pillow and hurled it at Zhou Xiande:

"You selfish villains."

Zhou Xiande casually swiped the pillow away, dismissively saying:

"Don’t make it sound so ugly; we had no choice. Who asked you to rely on being a martial master and offend so many enemies? If we don’t flee soon, won’t those enemies be after us?"

"Exactly, most of the enemies you provoked are martial arts experts. Now that you are dying, if we don’t flee, those martial arts masters will definitely not spare us."

Zhou Xianren nodded repeatedly and said righteously, "As our father, you can’t just watch us walk into disaster. You should be glad we had the foresight."

"Big brother, second brother, isn’t it wrong for you to say that?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianyi, who couldn’t stay silent anymore, said discontentedly:

"The Zhou Family has attracted so many enemies mostly because you people have been abusing our father’s name to bully others. Every time he stepped in, wasn’t it to clean up after your mess? Now that the Zhou Family is in trouble, instead of thinking about how to overcome this, you are kicking us while we’re down, which is utterly inhumane."

"Oh, when did the Zhou Family start taking orders from an illegitimate side branch like yours?" Zhou Xianren coldly glanced at Zhou Xianyi and said sarcastically:

"I see you’re just upset because you didn’t get a share of the inheritance. If you had the chance to control the Zhou Family’s assets, you’d probably grab more than anyone else."

"Exactly, the reason why the Zhou Family ended up in this mess is because of your illegitimate son. If he and Tang Ming had surrendered the Detoxification Pill, the old man wouldn’t have deteriorated so quickly. What right do you have to criticize us?"

Zhou Xiande also pointed an accusing finger at Zhou Xianyi with a look of disgust.

"Nonsense, Da Fu had already delivered the Detoxification Pill to father. Who was it that crushed the pill? Moreover, if Zhou Haotian hadn’t used his status as the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Zhou Family to cause trouble and offend Tang Ming, we..."

"Shut up," Zhou Xianren coldly interrupted Zhou Xianyi, furiously shouting:

"No matter what, you have no right to speak here. Since you’re so filial, why don’t you just take good care of this old undying? I won’t bother with his affairs anymore."

"You, get out, I don’t need sons like you," the old master Zhou, leaning on the headboard in agony and, with a lifetime of iron will, facing such a dire situation, his gaunt eyes couldn’t help but moisten.

"Fine, if you’re driving us away yourself, then I truly have no more interest in the Zhou Family," Zhou Xianren stood up and said with a cold laugh:

"From now on, the Zhou Family has nothing to do with me. Any enemies seeking revenge against the Zhou Family in the future have nothing to do with me either."

"Go on, get out! From now on, Zhou Xianyi is the Family Head of the Zhou Family. You two unfilial sons, get as far away from me as possible."

The old patriarch Zhou painfully closed his eyes, resigned in fate. It seemed he finally recognized the true faces of most people around him, all but Zhou Xianyi were ungrateful wolves.

"Great, since that’s the case, let Zhou Xianyi clean up this mess," Zhou Xiande added.

Zhou Xiande also stood up, shouting excitedly, "Today I, Zhou Xiande, sever all ties with the Zhou Family. From now on, any affairs of the Zhou Family have nothing to do with me."

With this, Zhou Xianren and Zhou Xiande exchanged glances and smiled knowingly at each other.

After so many years in the Zhou Family, coupled with the recent spree of gathering wealth, they had acquired enough benefits. The remaining Zhou Family was now in ruins and faced the retaliation from enemies after the old man’s death; they were eager to sever ties at this moment.

Since the old master had handed over the Zhou Family to Zhou Xianyi, they were relieved of their burdens. From now on, by declaring their separation from the Zhou Family, only Zhou Xianyi would face the enemies and rivals, which had nothing to do with them.

"Get out, all of you!"

Seeing his two sons so cold and unfeeling, the old patriarch Zhou’s whole body trembled with anger, and after spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, he lay on the bed, completely immobile.

"Let’s go, let’s pack up and leave the Zhou Family!"

Zhou Xianren, in high spirits, called for Zhou Xiande to leave.

"Dad, are you okay? Doctor, call the doctor!"

Seeing the old man frequently vomiting blood, Zhou Xianyi anxiously called out.

"Don’t, don’t bother," the old master Zhou weakly stopped Zhou Xianyi, with tears streaming down his face, he said:

"Son, I’m sorry, I was wrong before. I failed to see that those were ungrateful wolves, and I wronged you."

"Dad, don’t say that, I am still your son, no matter what."

Zhou Xianyi, wiping away tears and crying out in misery, said, "You will be fine, sob."

"Sigh, I know my own body. This time it’s unavoidable, I’m not going to make it," Zhou’s old master shook his head, troubled, and said, "Son, I wronged you and Da Fu before, and now that I’m dying, the Zhou Family is in your hands. No matter what, you must not let the Zhou Family fall apart."

"Dad!" Hearing this, Zhou Xianyi couldn’t help but sob violently, suddenly standing up and firmly saying,

"Don’t worry, I will find a way to save you. I’m going to find Da Fu now, and even if it means kneeling and bowing, I will ask him to persuade Tang Ming to hand over the Detoxification Pill."

"Cough, cough, no need," the old patriarch Zhou waved his hand to stop Zhou Xianyi’s actions, saying helplessly:

"Now, the poison has penetrated my bones and meridians. Even if there is a Detoxification Pill, it cannot cure me. Don’t waste your efforts tormenting Da Fu. It’s only my fault. In my last life, I must have committed some grave sins to deserve such unfilial sons."

"What should we do now?"

Seeing the old man in such a state of despair and pessimism, Zhou Xianyi broke down crying.
