Chapter 486: Chapter 485: The Li Family’s Heritage

Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Five: The Foundation of the Li Family

"Useless! All of them, utterly useless!"

Inside a somewhat dilapidated villa in G City, which yet exuded an air of antiquity and solemnity, within a room seemingly simple, yet not lacking in luxury and nobility, an old man with a head of silver hair was fiercely pounding the table, his eyes filled with indescribable rage.

Before him, a group of men in suits, their expressions stern, were tightly bowing their heads, not daring to utter a sound.

"She was already seriously injured, but you bunch of big men couldn’t even capture a deeply wounded woman! Utterly useless! Tell me, what do we keep you for, huh, what are we keeping you for!"

The old man grew angrier and angrier as he rebuked, his eyes flaring with fury. Veins popped on his forehead as he spoke, and he once again fiercely slammed his hand on the adjacent mahogany table, causing it to violently shake.

"Cough... Cough..."

Whether it was because he was so angry inside, or because his stream of insults had been too hurried and fast, or both, the old man started coughing continuously after he finished speaking.

The coughing made his expression even more frightening.

"Grandfather, don’t be angry. She was struck by a palm from Uncle Tie; she definitely couldn’t have escaped far,"

said a scholarly looking young man standing next to the old man. Seeing the old man start to cough, he quickly reached out to pat his back, trying to soothe him, "Maybe, just maybe, she’s already dead!"

"Yes, Elder Li, that girl was seriously injured, she couldn’t have gone far."

The man who had previously been silent and leading lifted his head, his eyes filled with guilt and anxiousness as he looked at the old man who couldn’t stop coughing and softly comforted him.

The rest of the men slowly lifted their heads too, their faces showing signs of nervousness and uneasiness as they looked towards the old man.

"Search! Continue searching for me; even if we have to turn G City upside down, we must find her!"

Finally, under the young man’s comforting pats, the old man managed to catch his breath. His forehead veins popped again, and with a look of unrelenting severity, he slammed the table once more and vehemently ordered.

"Alive, I want to see the person; dead, I want to see the body! Even if she’s dead, I’ll have her buried with my third son!"

"Those bastards, do they really think my Li Family can be so easily bullied?" the old man’s tone carried immense resentment and a chilling intent to kill, "I want those ghostly demons and demons to know that my great Li Family hasn’t fallen so low as to be trampled upon by anyone!"

Everyone knew that this old man, at this moment, seemed truly and utterly enraged, like a wounded ferocious beast, emitting an angry roar!

"Spread the word down, use all our power! Find that wretch!"

As the old man’s last sentence fell, the faces of the men standing below, including the scholarly young man behind him, visibly changed.

Everyone’s heart trembled slightly.

Especially the scholarly young man and the leading middle-aged man below, they were utterly shaken, very clear on what Elder Li’s words meant and very aware of what sort of situation G City would fall into following these words!

Many people outside always felt that the Li Family in G City was on the decline, like a decaying noble, soon to become a thing of the past.

Especially after a recent incident where another wastrel of the Li Family had provoked the Zhang Family of Glass City and suffered a harsh retaliation, the prestige of the Li Family plummeted even further.

But there’s a saying, "A thin camel is still bigger than a horse!"

Moreover, whether the Li Family had really dwindled was another matter altogether...

As the core members and trusted generals of Old Master Li, they were well aware that as part of the Four Great Families of G City, being able to stand unshaken in the third position for so many years spoke volumes of their terrifying foundation!

It’s just that over these years, Old Master Li had always been enduring in silence, quiet on the outside but enduring within—using the exterior noise as a form of endurance to give others the illusion that the Li Family was declining!

Even they sometimes wondered how much unknown power still lay hidden within the seemingly irritable eyes of this old man, whose face was now flushed red with anger.

"Yes, yes, Elder Li, rest assured, I know what to do!"

It took a while for the man to recover from his tremors, and he heavily nodded to Old Master Li, then quickly retreated.

"Zeng family, do they really think they can swallow my Li Family whole!"

Watching the middle-aged man withdraw, Elder Li’s face visibly relaxed somewhat from its previous furious state, but his old eyes became even more piercing and terrifying, his tone chilling, "Today, I, Li Wenchao, will make you realize that my Li Family is not something any Tom, Dick, or Harry can step on!"
