Chapter 276: Chapters 276-277: Casually Catching Punches

"It’s simple, as long as that old man doesn’t die, I will never have a chance to rise to the top!"

Looking at Duan Shaojie as he spoke with a fierce expression, Chu Ge was slightly stunned.

"Mr. Chu might not know this yet. Of course, actually, this secret is also known by only a few people in the Duan Family. I, Duan Shaojie, am not his blood grandson!"

Duan Congxing’s eyes revealed hatred, tinged with madness.

Xiahou Wudao clearly knew about this beforehand, and although his face still showed a complex expression, he was not too agitated.

As for Chu Ge, he was merely slightly surprised before he did not comment further.

After all, compared to the matters of the Ancient Martial World, the internal family affairs of Duan Shaojie were simply not worth mentioning!

Meanwhile, Duan Shaojie continued talking.

"Actually, whether I was born from the family or not, I do not much care because I have lived in the Duan Family for so many years and already consider myself a part of it. I have ambitions and ambitions and the capability to strengthen the Duan Family’s influence once I become the Family Head!"

As he spoke these words, Duan Shaojie’s face showed sureness, indeed, some people are truly born superior.

While others worry about their careers, they could easily manipulate major forces and establish business empires with the flick of a hand, and Duan Shaojie was obviously such a person.

Yet, this pride did not last long before it turned into deep resentment.

"But do you know, just one day before that old man Duan Congxing boarded the cruise, I finally found out unintentionally that he never planned to establish me as the next Family Head of the Duan Family!"

"Really?" Hearing this, Chu Ge was indeed a bit surprised.

For someone like Duan Shaojie, although his nature wasn’t good, he was actually the perfect candidate for a controller of a large family—dark-hearted and strong-willed.

"You find it surprising too, right?" Duan Shaojie looked at Chu Ge, sneering as he continued, "He never intended to let me control anything. His purpose in raising me was to train me as a servant to the family, to assist the new Family Head!"

"But you know what, the Family Head he talked about, his own grandson, turns out to be an idiot!"

This news was indeed explosive, and even Xiahou Wudao was stunned, as he only knew that Duan Shaojie was not blood-related, without knowing the details.

"Yes, an idiot!" Duan Shaojie laughed maniacally while speaking, not hiding the resentment in his eyes at all: "Duan Congxing’s son died in an accident over a decade ago, and his grandson became an idiot in the same accident, yet the old man still lives in a dream, unwilling to give up."

"Originally, I had hopes of becoming the Family Head, but, just when the Ghost Poison Sect from the Ancient Martial Sect came, the old man changed his mind just because of a phrase from the Ghost Poison Sect... they could restore Duan Congxing’s grandson back to normal!"

Speaking of this, Duan Shaojie clenched his hands into fists, his teeth grating.

Chu Ge, however, showed a knowing look, nodding as he said, "So you were completely abandoned and became just a foil, right?"

"That’s right." Duan Shaojie looked at Chu Ge, laughing,"But, the old man clearly overestimated his abilities, daring to make a move against Mr. Chu, haha, now it’s good, the old man is dead, and I have more room to maneuver!"

It must be said, Duan Shaojie was indeed a dangerously unpredictable person, akin to a venomous snake lurking in darkness, what’s most frightening is, his heart was even blacker than a venomous snake’s!

And to think, this was the man who had raised him for over a decade, and merely not being made Family Head had evoked such murderous intentions.

However, for Chu Ge, having a person like Duan Shaojie in the Duan Family was a great help to him.

"So, what do you want from me?" Chu Ge leaned back on the sofa, asking indifferently.

Duan Shaojie did not rush to answer but slowly sipped his drink, laughing, "Actually, it’s not just that I have matters to discuss with Mr. Chu, you must also have something to ask of me, right?"

"Hmm?" Chu Ge turned his head to look at Xiahou Wudao.

Xiahou Wudao waved his hands repeatedly: "Don’t look at me, I haven’t revealed anything."

Hearing this, Chu Ge turned his gaze back to Duan Shaojie, his eyes slowly narrowing, "Hmm, indeed, but you go first, after all, I can also get it myself, though the risk might be higher."

"I know Mr. Chu’s capabilities, help me remove the Ghost Poison Sect’s influence in the Duan Family, after I take over the Duan Family, I can give half of the family fortune to Mr. Chu!"

Duan Shaojie knew that someone like Chu Ge was not interested in a slow negotiation, so he directly offered the maximum he could afford!

Xiahou Wudao’s face changed, looking at Duan Shaojie in shock.

Half of the Duan Family’s fortune was no joke, it could almost instantly create a power second only to the Four Great Families of Shanghai!

Of course, for Chu Ge, the worldly power no longer appealed to him, so he looked at Duan Shaojie, shaking his head with a smile: "The Duan Family’s fortune? I’m not interested."
