Chapter 305: Chapter 305 Are You Satisfied With This Gift (1)_1

Situ Xin heard his question and did not reject it outright. Instead, she pondered for a moment before asking him whom he intended to teach these martial arts moves to.

Xiao Muli explained the situation to Situ Xin and also shared his plans with her. After hearing what he had to say, Situ Xin told him that she could help condition the mercenaries’ bodies, thus allowing them to reach their best physical condition. However, she said that she couldn’t teach all of the martial arts moves, only a third of the original techniques.

Even with this answer, Xiao Muli was very happy. He felt that this level of improvement was already very satisfying to him.

Indeed, it was precisely because of the elixirs Situ Xin provided for conditioning their bodies, along with the techniques he taught the mercenaries, that this group of mercenaries became extremely grateful to him and supported him even more.

Of course, apart from this group of mercenaries, Xiao Muli had been working on developing other forces of his own. These forces were something he started preparing after returning from the study session at the Xiao Family Ancestral House.

However, despite several years of effort and the support of Old Master Xiao, he had not made smooth progress due to limitations in his own circumstances. This was why, after Xiao Yongxin sent mercenaries to assassinate him, he was powerless to counter and had no choice but to seek training from the mercenaries.

Not to say that these forces weren’t strong enough, but this time, his plan was more than sufficient. Not to mention the help Dragon Society provided him secretly. It should be known that most of the shady activities Xiao Yongxin didn’t want exposed were provided to him by Dragon Society. Only a small part had been uncovered by his own investigations.

Before Xiao Muli and Old Master Xiao had arrived at the Xiao Family Ancestral House, Xiao Yongxin and Elder Master Xiao each held a thick dossier in their hands. These dossiers had just been delivered by someone disguised as a courier.

It was not only Xiao Yongxin and Elder Master Xiao who received a dossier; every branch of the Xiao Family had received one as well.

Xiao Yongxin stared at the dossier on his desk with an intense, ominous feeling. He stared at the thick dossier for a long time before finally picking it up and slowly opening it, taking out a large stack of documents inside.

"This. This..." As soon as Xiao Yongxin saw the content of the first paper, he stood up abruptly, his eyes wide with disbelief at what he was seeing.

Just as Xiao Yongxin was about to toss the documents onto the table, like they were hot potatoes, Elder Master Xiao rushed in, panting. He held an identical stack of documents in his hands and said breathlessly, "Yongxin, take a look at this. What on earth is going on?"

"Dad, how come you have this too?" Xiao Yongxin said in surprise, seeing the documents in Elder Master Xiao’s hands.

"What?" Elder Master Xiao, trying to catch his breath, followed Xiao Yongxin’s gaze to the desk and saw the dossier. He pointed at the dossier and looked at the one he was holding, speechless for a moment.

Xiao Yongxin began feeling a headache coming on at that moment. He slumped into the chair, resting his head in his hands, and remained silent for a while.

"Yongxin, what are you planning to do now?" asked Elder Master Xiao urgently. Even without asking, he already had a clear idea of who was behind this. "You need to deal with this quickly. If these documents are seen by others, losing the position of Patriarch of the Xiao Family will be the least of your worries."

Elder Master Xiao felt a surge of anger. If you’re going to play dirty tricks, then you should at least cover your tracks properly. Now, someone has seized your weak spot and even brought the threat to your doorstep.

Xiao Yongxin was well aware of what Elder Master Xiao was talking about. He felt terrible. He had thought that he had been cautious with all his actions, leaving no trail behind.

But now, faced with this evidence in front of him, he had to admit he had been caught. "Dad, don’t worry, I will take care of this," Yongxin said as he stood up, ready to deal with the situation.

Before he could leave the study, a frantic voice came from outside, "Get out of my way, I need to find that bastard Xiao Yongxin."

"Sorry, without the Family Head’s permission, you cannot enter," Xiao Yongxin’s bodyguards diligently blocked those trying to force their way through.

"If you fucking dare to stop me, I," "Xiao Yongxin, get the hell out here," the noisy voices outside made Xiao Yongxin frown. He went out, put on his usual Patriarch’s demeanor, and roared at the group of people tugging, cursing, and shouting, "What are you doing there? Don’t you know the study is not a place for noise?" "Xiao Yongxin, don’t you fucking put on that Patriarch’s face with me. Ah, why don’t you tell us, what have you done?" an old man tossed the dossier he was holding in Xiao Yongxin’s face, but luckily, the bodyguard behind him was competent enough to catch the dossier before it hit Xiao Yongxin’s face.

Seeing the dossier, Xiao Yongxin’s heart sank to the bottom. He hadn’t even taken action yet, and the evidence had already leaked out.

"Xiao Yongxin, you beast. To secure the position of Family Head for your son, you actually stooped to harming my son," said a woman as she lunged at Xiao Yongxin. A quick and alert bodyguard stepped forward to block the woman, but unfortunately, his face got scratched in the process.

The dossier that Xiao Muli provided contained evidence of all the dirty tricks Xiao Yongxin had played on the members of the Xiao Family who were potential candidates for the next Family Head position over the years.

Xiao Yongxin feared that a dark horse might suddenly appear during the election for Family Head and disrupt his plans. Therefore, while he was sending people after Xiao Muli, he did not forget those other candidates for the Family Head position.

The others, however, did not have the skills of Xiao Muli. So, when Xiao Yongxin made his first move, they were honorably injured. Some, with severe injuries, were still in the hospital.

They didn’t fail to hire someone to investigate this matter, but Xiao Yongxin was a cunning foe; it wasn’t easy to catch him in the act. At that time, their investigations turned up nothing.
