Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 84 The Infamous Dai Hao

Huo Yuhao said, "Dai Hao, you probably don't care about my mother at all. You don't even know you have a son, and I have to stand up and remind you."

Dai Hao's expression was somewhat complicated: "But... no one has ever told me that Yun'er gave birth to my child. I've been deceived."

Yuhao, you are still my son. Change your surname back to Dai and return to the Duke's mansion.

Yun'er has always been the woman I deeply love. As the fruit of our love, I will definitely treat you well.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Being deceived? You, a commander who leads troops into battle, are you so easily deceived? In my opinion, you deliberately ignored my mother."

As for changing back to the surname Dai and returning to the Duke's mansion, I think we should skip that.

Moreover, your so-called deep love is false. If you truly loved her, why didn't you give her a proper title? She was merely a maid! Do you know that she loved you until the moment she died?

You are a nobleman, don't you know what the status of a maid means?

You wouldn't even give me a concubine's place! And you have the nerve to say you deeply love my mother? Pah! You disgust me!

Upon hearing this, Dai Hao remained silent for a moment, then closed his eyes in anguish and said, "Yuhao, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'm sorry to Yun'er, I'm sorry to you."

At this moment, the audience was in an uproar. They hadn't expected to see such a thrilling scene before the final, which was far more exciting than the final itself.

Who is Dai Hao? He is the dignified Duke of White Tiger. In the Star Luo Empire, countless people want to curry favor with Dai Hao. Yet, even such a big shot has to admit his mistakes.

Furthermore, many people enjoy gossiping, and viewers are very interested in the family affairs of a prominent figure like Dai Hao.

However, some viewers started discussing it at this moment.

"Since Huo Yuhao is the son of the White Tiger Duke, he should be a Star Luo person, so why is he a contestant for the Sun and Moon? Isn't this a betrayal of Star Luo?"
The people we should admire are those like Duke Baihu, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Putting aside the facts, was Huo Yuhao completely without fault in terms of Duke Baihu's personal conduct?

Huo Yuhao knew it was normal for him to be seen as a traitor, but he still cleared his throat and said, "I know many people question my current identity. In fact, my life in the Duke's mansion is worse than death."

He then began to recount the series of bad things the Duchess and her son had done to Huo Yun'er and her son.

After a while, most viewers began to look at Huo Yuhao with pity, after all, judging from Huo Yuhao's description, the life of this mother and son in the Duke's mansion was worse than that of servants.

For such a young child, living under the Duchess's oppression every day, it's quite normal to want to escape to another place.

The only place that cannot be affected by the Duchess's power is the Sun and Moon Empire.

Some viewers also started discussing it.

“That despicable Dai Huabin, I’ll definitely spit on his grave the next time I pass by it.”

"How dare you say such a thing! You're asking for it!"

At this moment, Dai Hao's body was trembling slightly. He had opened his eyes and his eyes reddened after hearing about Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao's tragic experiences in the Duke's mansion over the years.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry to Yun'er and you." He said, glancing at Dai Yueheng nearby. "Yueheng, you also know about Yuhao's existence?"

Dai Yueheng was silent for a while, then said, "I know, Father. However, he looks very different now. If he hadn't revealed his identity, I wouldn't have recognized him."

Dai Hao flew into a rage and kicked Dai Yueheng to the ground. "Since you knew, why didn't you tell me? Do you still consider me your father? You bastard! If I had known about Yuhao's existence earlier, how could I have let his mother and son suffer like this?"

Huo Yuhao sneered, "Enough, Dai Hao, stop pretending!"

Since I was born, I have never seen you come looking for your mother. Even if you don't think you and your mother have any children, don't you love her deeply?

My mother died when I was ten years old. After her death, I stayed at the Duke's mansion for another year. That means I haven't seen you come to see my mother once in the past ten years. If you had met her during this time, she would definitely have told you about my existence!
As the Duke of White Tiger, you are the absolute authority in the Duke's mansion. Although you are very busy, would you be so busy that you can't see your mother even once in ten years?

Although the Duchess later banished your mother to the woodshed on the grounds of a contagious disease, if you truly loved her, wouldn't you have checked on her condition when you returned to the mansion?

Ten years. Do you know how your mother spent those ten years?

The usually eloquent Dai Hao was speechless in front of Huo Yuhao, and a look of guilt appeared on his face.

The audience was stunned.

"Dai Hao, the number one scumbag in Xingluo, hasn't contacted Huo Yuhao's mother for ten years. He turns his back on her after he's done with her. No wonder Huo Yuhao ran away from the Duke's mansion. If it were me, I would have run away too. This scumbag father is truly outrageous."

"Yeah, I never expected Duke White Tiger to be this kind of person. Ladies, keep your eyes open in the future and stay away from men with this kind of personality! After the competition, I'll go back and spread rumors about Dai Hao's scumbag behavior!"

Xu Jiawei's face was rather grim at this moment. From today onwards, Dai Hao's reputation was ruined.

For someone leading troops into battle, reputation is very important. A person with a bad reputation leading troops into battle will affect the morale of the army.

From an outsider's perspective, Dai Hao is firstly incapable of managing his family, and secondly, despite constantly claiming to deeply love someone, he hasn't seen that person for ten years and doesn't even visit them when they are sick, making him a truly hypocritical and despicable person.

Although Xu Jiawei felt that Dai Hao was not that kind of person, some outsiders might not think so.

Xu Jiawei said to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, Dai Hao did make some mistakes, but no matter what, you are father and son. Regardless of the outcome of this competition, are you willing to stay in Xingluo and serve the empire?"

I know you feel that the Star Luo Empire is a place filled with bad memories.

However, if you feel that Xingluo is not good, you should stay and help build it. I know that you were a Sun and Moon person in the Sun and Moon region, but now that you are in Xingluo, you can also be a Xingluo person!

He also wanted to salvage Dai Hao's reputation, so as long as Huo Yuhao was willing to come back and reconcile with Dai Hao, he was confident that he could create an image of Dai Hao as a prodigal son who had returned home.

Huo Yuhao was stunned, not expecting Xu Jiawei to say such a thing. He shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty, no matter where I am, I am a citizen of the Sun and Moon."

To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of Xu Jiawei because the Duchess was Xu Jiawei's daughter. Although, in theory, Dai Hao's wife should be from the Zhu family, the original novel did say at the beginning that the Duchess was the most favored daughter of the current Xingluo Emperor.

If it weren't for the Star Luo royal family as her maternal home, the Duchess wouldn't be so arrogant.
