329: Chapter 328: Night Raid on Situ Manor 329: Chapter 328: Night Raid on Situ Manor Seeing Lao Xi return with injuries, without Xu Ruolan in sight, Situ Yuanhua realized that something must have gone wrong.
Facing the furious Situ Yuanhua, Lao Xi was now bowing his head like a dog that had lost its home.
“Speak, where is Xu Ruolan?”
Thud!
Situ Yuanhua’s Dragon Head Cane struck the ground with force.
Lao Xi involuntarily trembled, then with a defeated expression, he replied with his head hanging low, “Master, we were close to success tonight, but unexpectedly, a mysterious expert appeared and rescued Xu Ruolan!”
Situ Yuanhua’s tiger-like eyes widened, and the totem tattoo on his face began to tremble as if it had come to life, appearing extremely ferocious.
“Useless, you can’t even handle such a trivial matter.
What use are you to me!”
At this moment, Situ Yuanhua was beside himself with rage, not bothering to show any courtesy, despite the fact that Lao Xi had served the Situ Family for decades and had attended to him for most of his life.
But because of this mission’s failure, Situ Yuanhua was now even contemplating killing Lao Xi.
Lao Xi didn’t dare retort, a subtle look flashing in his eyes.
After all, he was nothing more than a dog of the Situ Family.
Crash!
Situ Yuanhua smashed another antique vase that was closest to him.
“Damn it!”
In their plan, Xu Ruolan was a crucial part.
Without Xu Ruolan, whether they could deal with Ning Fan or not remained an unknown.
It was not easy to find Ning Fan absent from Zhonghai City, presenting them with a rare opportunity.
Yet it had been squandered, and Situ Yuanhua could not accept it.
“Xu Ruolan!
You were lucky this time, but I assure you, you won’t be so fortunate next time!”
Situ Yuanhua took a deep breath.
Lao Xi’s failure was unexpected.
Who could have guessed that aside from Ning Fan, there was another mysterious expert by Xu Ruolan’s side?
Of course, they were unaware that the masked man in black was actually Ning Fan himself.
After tonight’s failure, their only option was to wait for another opportunity, but when that chance would come again was unknown…
However, just as Situ Yuanhua’s words ended, a cold, indifferent voice came from a corner.
“I’m afraid you won’t have a next time.”
This voice sounded exceedingly cold, sending shivers down one’s spine.
In the room, both Situ Yuanhua and Lao Xi were stunned in place.
The voice was so sudden and yet eerily familiar.
The first to react was Lao Xi.
He immediately stood in front of Situ Yuanhua, his hawk-like gaze nervously scanning the surroundings.
But after a long observation, who else could be there in the room besides the master and servant?
“Who is it, daring to play tricks on me here!”
Situ Yuanhua’s eyes were bloodshot, his face thunderous as he shouted around him.
He was already in a terrible mood due to Lao Xi’s failed mission, and now someone had appeared in his manor out of the blue.
The inexplicable threat sent Situ Yuanhua into a fit of rage.
The next moment, mocking laughter filled the air, fueling the fury of both Situ Yuanhua and Lao Xi.
Yet, they were unable to locate the third person in the room.
“Situ old dog, have you become so forgetful?
Isn’t there still an old dog beside you?
Just let him sniff around, and wouldn’t he know who I am?”
Invisible, Ning Fan observed Situ Yuanhua and Xie Lao with a playful look, his eyes revealing a cold murderous intent.
Unexpectedly, a cold wind swept past Situ Yuanhua and Xie Lao, their expressions turning gravely serious.
“Could it be you?!” Xie Lao cried out in horror, his small eyes widening, his heart suddenly filled with dread.
Ning Fan smiled.
It seemed that Xie Lao had indeed recognized him.
“Hahaha, since you all wish to see me, then I shall grant you this final wish!”
Ning Fan sneered and immediately reappeared from his state of invisibility.
Seeing Ning Fan’s figure abruptly appear in the room, Situ Yuanhua was both shocked and furious.
The shock came from Ning Fan somehow materializing out of nowhere, and the fury stemmed from knowing that his own son was murdered by Ning Fan standing right before him.
Xie Lao sized up Ning Fan’s attire, his eyes reflecting surprise as he blurted out subconsciously, “So it’s you!”
With all black clothes, save for the missing mask, Xie Lao instantly recognized that the mysterious person who had attacked him not long ago was Ning Fan.
Xie Lao’s expression grew considerably uglier as Ning Fan’s strength far surpassed his expectations.
The first time they faced each other at the Manor, Xie Lao thought he could fight Ning Fan, but after their recent encounter, he realized Ning Fan must have been holding back!
As for why Ning Fan had held back, Xie Lao didn’t know, but now, injured as he was, he understood that Ning Fan’s presence here was dangerous for both Situ Yuanhua and himself.
“Good lad, I was just worried about not being able to find you, and you dare to deliver yourself to my door.
Heaven’s roads you do not follow, into Hell’s gate you insist on barging!”
Situ Yuanhua’s face was fierce, his fierce demeanor fully revealed.
Having dealt in arms trading overseas for many years and frequently traveling through war-torn areas, Situ Yuanhua’s hands were, directly or indirectly, stained with a lot of blood.
Now, facing his son’s killer, the murderous aura emanating from Situ Yuanhua was astonishing.
Although his own strength was not even comparable to Xie Lao’s, the killing aura he exuded was accumulated through stepping over countless lives.
“Oh?
Are you sure the one going to Hell tonight is me?” Ning Fan mocked Situ Yuanhua, shaking his head, finally giving him a look of sympathy.
Situ Yuanhua’s forehead veins bulged, his eyes, sharp like swords, glaring at Ning Fan: “Arrogant, do you really think you can come and go as you please?”
Situ Yuanhua didn’t care about Ning Fan’s strength, his mind now filled with rage, the only thing he knew was that Ning Fan before him was the murderer of his son.
With Ning Fan showing up here, it was as if he’d walked right into a trap!
However, after hearing Situ Yuanhua’s words, Xie Lao’s heart was filled with bitterness.
Not to mention his current injury, even at his peak, he wasn’t sure he could handle Ning Fan.
That confrontation less than half an hour ago made Xie Lao fully realize just how terrifying Ning Fan’s strength was!
Ning Fan’s lips curled into a bone-chilling cold smile, his ice-cold gaze devoid of any emotion as it landed on both Situ Yuanhua and Xie Lao.
“Situ Yuanhua, Situ Nan really misses you!”
At this moment, in Ning Fan’s eyes, both Situ Yuanhua and Xie Lao were as good as dead.
