Chapter 1112: Chapter 1084 Household Retainer

Second Grandfather’s name is Luo Yi.

Li Chen only learned about it just now.

Because previously, the grandfathers never mentioned their names, and Li Chen never asked out of self-awareness.

At that time, although Li Chen was young, he did ask where his parents were, but after seeing the grandfathers fall silent, he cleverly stopped asking.

Since then, unless the grandfathers voluntarily talked about something, he would never ask.

However, he never thought about what kind of past the grandfathers might have had.

"Second Grandfather." Watching Yu Lian and Han Jue leave, Li Chen walked over to Second Grandfather.

He didn’t ask why Second Grandfather was so powerful, much more than he had ever said. As a child, he understood this point, and now, he would be even less likely to ask.

"Are you all right?" Second Grandfather turned to look at Li Chen, a faint smile on his face, as if it were the same as before, but Li Chen could tell that Second Grandfather was a bit older than when he was a child.

"What was meant to come has come." Watching the direction the two left, Second Grandfather showed a hint of sentiment: "Even though I knew this day would come sooner or later, I still didn’t expect it to come so quickly."

Li Chen was silent for a moment, then whispered, "When the soldiers come, we’ll fight back; when the floods come, we’ll block them. There’s no hurdle we can’t overcome in this world."

Second Grandfather looked at Li Chen, his smile growing more comforting: "You’re right, that’s how it is."

Suddenly, Li Chen’s expression changed as if he had remembered something: "Second Grandfather, I need to go back to the villa immediately."

"I’ll go with you." Second Grandfather nodded: "Since they’ve made their move, it’s time for us old guys to come out and stretch a bit too."

"Second Grandfather, you mean..." Li Chen’s face lit up with surprise. How could he not catch the meaning behind Second Grandfather’s words? He just wanted confirmation.

"That’s right. Even though the pact is void now, as long as those guys don’t make a move, we stay out of it. But clearly, they’ve waited too long, and their patience has worn thin." Second Grandfather said solemnly.

Li Chen nodded, not saying more. He didn’t know who "they" referred to in Second Grandfather’s words, but he understood that if even the grandfathers were wary, they certainly weren’t ordinary people.

Li Chen never had the naive thought that past grievances shouldn’t affect the present.

He understood one thing: kind deeds are easily forgotten, but hatred often stays with a person for life. If these people want to take him away, even resorting to force, there certainly isn’t any goodwill with the Li Family.

Then, there’s only one possibility.

"Enemies, huh..." As Li Chen sped down the road, a gleam of hostility flashed in his eyes.

"Screech——"

Li Chen parked the car on the roadside not far from the villa.

From the traces left on the ground, it was clear there had been an exceptionally fierce battle here; there was still a lot of blood left behind.

Li Chen knew very well that this blood probably belonged to the Nether Army, just not cleaned up properly by the people who came afterward.

Seeing these traces, Li Chen’s face turned steely.

Because when he looked up, the villa’s condition was even more devastating than here.

Together with Second Grandfather, they quickly rushed to the villa. A few people were still guarding around; these were the members of the Nether Army who arrived later, and they quietly briefed Li Chen on the situation.

"This is how it was when we arrived, and there’s no one inside."

Li Chen nodded and stepped into the villa.

At this point, part of the villa’s wall had collapsed, and the front yard was in complete disarray, looking particularly bleak. Even the house itself showed extensive damage, especially upstairs, with a massive hole punched through the ceiling, the cause of which was unknown.

But this wasn’t what concerned Li Chen.

What he cared about was not the house, but the people inside it!

Looking at the chaotic mess in the living room on the first floor, Li Chen’s fist clenched tightly, his skin and bones making a crisp sound as they rubbed together.

Second Grandfather stood by Li Chen without speaking, wanting to see what Li Chen would decide or pay attention to next.

Their task was to ensure Li Chen grew up healthy and safe. But now, Li Chen was grown up, and all they could do was follow his lead.

They were Household Retainers of the Li Family, and this would never change, no matter how many years passed.

Just like Yu Lian had asked before, although Second Grandfather didn’t reply, he had already made a choice in his heart.

"Willing!"

Not only he was willing, but all four elders were.

Otherwise, they would not have stayed to raise Li Chen as he grew.

No matter what the grown-up Li Chen asked them to do, they wouldn’t refuse, even if it meant walking the path of slaughter once more.

"Second Grandfather, you... should go back." Li Chen stood in the shattered villa living room, his back to Second Grandfather, and spoke softly: "I can handle this on my own."

"You deal with it alone, but we have already..." Second Grandfather wanted to argue, but Li Chen interrupted him.

"I know, my father, whom I’ve never met, may be gone, but he left me with a bunch of trouble. I don’t mind these. Since you grandfathers take them so seriously, then these enemies must be formidable."

"Now, it’s already not easy for you to deal with these enemies. I can handle these things on my own," Li Chen said calmly.

"Well then... alright." Second Grandfather said no more, looking at Li Chen’s back.

Li Chen’s martial arts were taught by him. He was also the one spent the most time with Li Chen in his childhood. No one knew better than him what Li Chen was like.

Once he decided, no one could change his mind.

Shaking his head, Second Grandfather turned and left the villa, but Li Chen didn’t see the growing look of satisfaction on Second Grandfather’s lips.

"This kid has grown up..."

Li Chen searched the villa for quite a while before finding An Qin’s and Wang Qianqian’s battle traces. Evidently, the two women had fought fiercely when the enemies appeared; otherwise, such a tragic scene wouldn’t have been caused.

"If that’s the case..." Looking at the big hole in the ceiling, Li Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
