Patriarch Qin's eyes widened with fury as he stared at the video transmitted to his phone.
His pride and joy, his undefeated grandson, was being pinned down and pummeled, crushed with the ease of a chicken made of clay, helpless to fight back.
And the culprit was none other than the imposter God's Child he had always looked down upon, Luo Yu, in disguise.
"Impossible!"
"How could this be possible?"
"My grandson possesses the divine talent of a heavenly deity, how could he lose to this fake?"
Patriarch Qin's heart pounded erratically, his mind in chaos, unable to accept the reality before him.
Despite exerting all techniques and displaying First Rank Summit-level combat prowess, his grandson was still overwhelmingly suppressed by Luo Yu?
Almost skinned alive with a sword formation.
"How could this be?"
"That boy is only eighteen, even if he had trained in his mother's womb, it's absolutely impossible for him to possess such terrifying combat strength."
"It must be Elder Luo, definitely Elder Luo, he must have given that boy some treasure, enabling him to defeat my grandson with its help."
Patriarch Qin shook his head repeatedly, firmly in denial.
Just yesterday, he had mocked Elder Luo at the meeting, convinced his grandson could never lose, and now his face was slapped, faced with such news today.
It was simply unbearable.
Seeing his grandson chopped into such a state in the video, his eyes reddened with rage, his heart bleeding, his face smacked loudly, his heart aching to death.
"Grandson."
"My precious grandson."
"Ah!"
"This Luo Yu has gone too far against my Qin Family."
When he saw the video's end, Luo Yu collecting Qin Qi with the cauldron and demanding his Qin Family must pay with treasures for his release, Patriarch Qin was so angry he slammed his desk, shattering the precious century-old Nanmu table.
His teeth clenched tightly, he glared at Xia Luo in the video who had beaten someone and claimed to be wronged.
"Shameless!"
"A despicable scoundrel!!!"
"Ah!!!"
Patriarch Qin was livid, holding a high position in Great Xia, he had never been subjected to such humiliation.
"Someone, come!"
"Connect me with that boy's telephone immediately, daring to hit my grandson and extort the Qin Family, despicable, absolutely despicable!!!"
In an instant, a person rushed into the room outside, his expression panic-stricken, about to place a call to the Sichuan Province Martial University.
"Wait."
Patriarch Qin spoke up to stop him, his complexion incredibly dark, visibly struggling to suppress his boiling rage.
That boy's attitude in the video was clearly unconcerned about consequences, and if pushed by his own threats, in a fit of rage might kill Qin Qi, leaving him without a grandson.
Furthermore, Luo Yu was not a lone wolf; he had Luo Tiance's support, and with the opponent's family background, he genuinely had no fear of the Qin Family.
"You may leave."
Patriarch Qin held back his explosive anger, his face dark as water, and as soon as the servant left, he quickly dialed another number.
"Swoosh!"
Luo Tiance's holographic image appeared in the room, and he said:
"Patriarch Qin, you don't usually contact me without good reason. What made you suddenly decide to call me?"
Patriarch Qin with an ugly expression replied, "Elder Luo, are you truly unaware, or are you feigning ignorance?"
Luo Tiance's normally unsmiling face grew a few degrees colder.
"Speak your mind, let it out, don't use a questioning tone with me as if we're playing guessing games here."
Patriarch Qin, annoyed, said: "Luo Tiance, your grandson has become lawless, not only nearly killing my grandson, but he also has the audacity to extort the Qin Family."
"As his grandfather, do you not teach him any manners at all?"
"Oh?"
Luo Tiance raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. He really didn't know about this incident, indifferent to other matters, but his interest was piqued at the mention of his grandson.
"My grandson is that powerful?"
"Tell me more."
"Is there a video?"
Patriarch Qin almost had an intracranial hemorrhage from anger. What kind of thought process is this? Was this the point I was trying to make?
His face grew even uglier.
"Luo Tiance, are you trying to infuriate me on purpose?"
"Your grandson didn't hurt my grandson, did he? It's better if he didn't." Luo Tiance's gaze turned icy, a murderous intent emerging, but then he shook his head, "No, it wouldn't matter even if he did get hurt. After all, you said it yourself before, it's merely a fight between the younger generation, the adults should not interfere."
Patriarch Qin felt a metallic taste in his throat, his head buzzing.
Ni ma de.
Your grandson hurt? Your grandson didn't even seem to have a scratch, while my grandson nearly got hacked to death.
However, hearing the latter part of Luo Tiance's words reminded him of his own statement at the meeting, causing his mood to explode right where he stood.
Fight a fight, lose, and find out you're also in the wrong upon reasoning.
His mental state completely shattered.
"Say something."
Luo Tiance took the initiative, pressed for an answer, barely holding back laughter, proud at heart. His brat had become this strong? He even hammered the Qin Family punk, and if he hadn't done it so miserably, Patriarch Qin wouldn't have called him in fury.
Fuck you.
Patriarch Qin wanted to curse, but couldn't bring himself to.
It was his fault after all; angering Luo Tiance wouldn't end with just his grandson getting beaten.
No one else would help either, since he was the one who had boasted at the meeting.
Patriarch Qin took a deep breath and said, "Luo Tiance, I can tolerate you using your grandson's treasures to defeat mine, I can endure that."
"But for your grandson to then threaten my grandson's life and extort treasures from the Qin Family afterward, isn't that going too far?"
"Indeed, that's going too far." Luo Tiance nodded.
"If you also think it's excessive, then quickly make a call and tell your grandson to release him." Patriarch Qin just wanted Qin Qi to escape danger as soon as possible, other scores could be settled later.
Luo Tiance looked at him and shook his head:
"I'm not saying my grandson went too far, I'm saying you went too far."
"What?" Patriarch Qin's eyes bulged, "You're saying I went too far?"
