Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Greatly Disappointed (2)_1

"Yes, Xiao Xin, you should stay out of this matter," Old Master Xiao agreed with his grandson. Although Situ Xin would be their Xiao Family’s granddaughter-in-law in the future, he still didn’t want her to get involved in these troubled waters. "Let Muli handle this by himself."

"Grandpa Xiao, Brother Muli, you really cannot interfere in this matter. And, I mustn’t interfere either," said Situ Xin as she looked at the expressions of the two. She paused briefly before continuing, "You both know Situ Muli, right?" After receiving nods from both Xiao Muli and Old Master Xiao, Situ Xin added, "He just happens to have a vendetta with the person who is assigned to this mission, the one sent to assassinate Brother Muli. So he told me just now that he has taken over this matter. Thus, all you need to do is listen, and don’t worry about anything else."

After hearing Situ Xin’s words, Xiao Muli opened his mouth as if to say something but was stopped by Situ Xin. "Apart from this matter, I won’t intervene in any other affairs of the Xiao Family. Besides, I promised Situ Muli I would give him the chance for revenge," she said.

After hearing Situ Xin’s words, Old Master Xiao and his grandson Xiao Muli exchanged looks and then nodded in agreement.

When Situ Xin received news from Situ Muli that Xiu was about to make a move, she couldn’t hold back. She still followed the car of Situ Muli and Xiang Yang, trailing behind them.

However, Situ Xin only planned to watch from the sidelines, not to get involved. Of course, if Situ Muli and Xiang Yang were to face any danger, she would definitely not stand idly by.

Situ Xin had been expecting to witness a fierce battle, but what transpired ultimately left her deeply disappointed.

She had never expected Xiu’s skills to be so lackluster. He was no match for the current Situ Muli. Situ Muli hardly had to make a move before Xiu was taken care of by him.

After Situ Muli dealt with Xiu, the underground organization in Xiangjiang, having received no news from Xiu, became anxious and sent out a large number of people to investigate the matter. However, thanks to the thorough clean-up by Situ Muli and Xiang Yang, they failed to find even the slightest clue in the end. They only knew that Xiu had mysteriously disappeared from this world. As for where he vanished to, that remained a perpetual mystery.

The Leader of the underground organization in Xiangjiang was so infuriated by these developments that he nearly smashed everything in his office to pieces. During that period, all members of the underground organization were working with bated breath, fearful of inadvertently crossing the Leader.

According to The Dark Division, the Leader of the underground organization never gave up on finding Xiu. He believed that Xiu couldn’t have just disappeared into thin air, and even if he had died, there should be a body left behind. But this time, he was destined to be disappointed.

Xiao Muli had originally planned to settle his score with Xiao Yongxin after the college entrance exams, not because he was worried that dealing with Xiao Family affairs would distract him and affect his exam results.

The college entrance exam was not something they took seriously. He simply felt that after the exam, the election for the Family Head’s candidacy would be drawing near, and it would be the perfect time to resolve all matters concerning the Xiao Family together.

Xiao Muli had intended to let Xiao Yongxin bounce around as the Patriarch Xiao for a few more days, but since he himself didn’t cherish the opportunity, Xiao Muli saw no need to give him any more face.

Xiao Muli had Old Master Xiao help him take a few days off school, and without notifying anyone from the main house, he and Old Master Xiao embarked on the journey back to the main house.

Xiao Family.

Xiao Yongxin had just received a call from Xiangjiang. The caller told him that the mission had failed, and furthermore, they had decided not to continue undertaking this particular mission.

Since Xiu’s bizarre disappearance, the Leader of the underground organization from Xiangjiang had been unable to find any leads. He then ordered an investigation into the target of the mission.

The information uncovered during the investigation revealed that Xiu had not even come into contact with the target of the mission. In other words, Xiu had disappeared upon entering Country H. After seeing the results of the investigation, the Leader of the underground organization fell silent for a long time.

In the end, he ordered the continuation of the investigation into Xiu’s disappearance but also commanded that they abandon this particular mission.

After receiving the call, Xiao Yongxin once again flew into a violent rage in his study, sweeping everything from his desk onto the floor.

"Yongxin. Let it go," sighed Elder Master Xiao as he walked in.

"Dad, I can’t accept this. I won’t let go. This Xiao Family is no longer the one that belonged to everyone; it’s ours. For many years, we have been the ones managing everything in the Xiao Family. Now everything about the Xiao Family belongs to us. Dad, can you really bear it? Can you bear to hand over the fruits of our many years of hard work to someone else?" shouted Xiao Yongxin to Elder Master Xiao, visibly in a state of intense agitation.

Elder Master Xiao’s heart was by no means content, especially after his son had been constantly brainwashing him, claiming that everything they had was the result of their hard work. Yet, the Xiao family pair had forgotten the original foundation of the Xiao Family was not theirs.

And without the original heritage of the Xiao Family, how could they ever have had today’s glory?

On the way to the main house, Xiao Muli was not idle for a moment, as he reviewed the plan he had just adjusted in his head, looking for any loopholes or deficiencies. Once he was certain that the plan was sound, he made phone calls to notify his allies, which included the forces he had been gradually developing over the years.

Among his forces was a mercenary group he had joined for training previously. This mercenary group represented Xiao Muli’s largest backer. Once he confirmed the mercenaries were under his control, he asked Old Master Situ about the martial arts techniques he had learned, inquiring whether he could teach them to others.

Old Master Situ didn’t agree but only told him to ask Situ Xin. Xiao Muli also knew that the martial arts they practiced were given by Situ Xin’s master. So, without further discussion with Old Master Situ, he went to find Situ Xin.
