Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 110 Blood is thicker than water! (This is a proverb/idiom)

The courtyard fell silent once again.

"You, you can't do this!"

Looking into the girl's eyes, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of familiarity. He patted the girl's head and spoke gently.

"Look at that gaze, it's really sharp. But you shouldn't have been so stupid. Back then, my hatred was much better hidden than yours."

Huo Yuhao's voice, like a devil's, still lingered in the girl's ears, "It seems you are very filial. Since you are so filial to your father, how about I send you to reunite with him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings became quiet.

Life passes away so simply. Now, Huo Yuhao is the only living person left in the courtyard. No, there is still one, but Huo Yuhao feels it is still necessary to clarify the relationship between the two.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, he used a mental interference field to conceal his presence.

His mental detection sharing had already sensed some presence, but he did so anyway to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

Sure enough, a moment later a little boy emerged from the well, hugging the girl from before and wailing bitterly.

Huo Yuhao waited for a moment, and seeing that no one else came out, he stopped hiding and stood in front of the little boy.

The dark shadows covered the little boy's body, and he stopped crying because he realized he seemed to be in trouble.

Kid: ? Don't use a new account!

"Sigh, I wasn't assigned the villain role, so why am I experiencing this kind of plot?"

Too lazy to waste any more words, a wave of the hand and the whole family is reunited. That's what you call professional!
After disappearing for a while and seeing that no one came out, Huo Yuhao felt relieved. At the same time, in order to completely eliminate any future troubles, dozens of level-four soul-guided cannon shells were placed in the servant area.

After they left, the powerful explosion quickly engulfed the entire servants' quarters. Apart from those who had been kind to Huo and had been evacuated beforehand, no one was left alive.

When they reunited with Xiao Hongchen and his sister outside, the two sensibly didn't ask any questions.

Meanwhile, Dai Hao and the Duchess, who were under control in the backyard, also heard the explosion outside.

"What...what have you done?!"

Dai Hao had no idea that Huo Yuhao had become Du Busi's disciple, who had become Huo Yuhao's second teacher. In his excitement, he didn't connect the dots and thought that the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had offended those madmen from the Body Sect.

"Don't worry, all your questions will be answered when Yuhao arrives."

Du Bu Si was quite leisurely, but Dai Hao was really panicked at this moment. What did he hear? Yu Hao, that kid Yu Hao is back?
But why?
Why in this way? Didn't that child say he would challenge me only after breaking through to Soul Saint?
He was prepared to find out about Huo Yun'er's past, then clear her name and properly portray himself as a loyal and steadfast father, in order to change Huo Yuhao's opinion!

If possible, it wouldn't be out of the question to depose Xu Na, the legal wife.

After all, with one of his two legitimate sons dead and the other crippled, the White Tiger Duke's mansion couldn't be left without a successor.

Huo Yuhao, whose talent and abilities have been proven, is still his son. If the estrangement can be eliminated and father and son can reconcile, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion will not only be safe, but may also return to its former glory.

But now, this situation is completely unexpected!

Time ticked by, and Dai Hao felt it was an eternity. Meanwhile, the Duchess finally came to her senses and realized her current predicament and what had just transpired.

Because she heard a name she would never forget: Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, the son of that bastard, that filthy bloodline that she considered trash and didn't even consider worthy of her attention, that lowly ant.

How could this be? Wasn't he dead? Why is he still alive? Why would such a powerful person appear to protect him?

Da da da!
The footsteps drew ever closer, like the death knell of the Grim Reaper. It was obvious who was behind them, but in such a short time, Dai Hao couldn't figure out how to respond.

After all, all the previous arrangements were based on the premise that Huo Yun'er's grave would be reburied by him and that his first wife would be divorced.

This kid doesn't follow any rules or martial ethics, and he's definitely being protected by that old man Kong Deming in the dark. Does he really intend to kill me?
In the dim light, Xu Na, kneeling on the ground, and Dai Hao, who was struggling to keep himself upright, looked particularly wretched.

The former tried her best to raise her head to look at the figure in front of her, but the oppressive aura of the poison made it extremely difficult for her to even lift her head. She had never suffered such humiliation before, especially in front of this illegitimate child whom she had never looked at before.

The footsteps stopped, and a voice with a particularly amused tone rang out.

"Long time no see, Your Excellency Duke of White Tiger, and... this rather unpleasant lady." Before Dai Hao could speak, Xu Na's expression twisted into a ferocious grin:
"You really are that bitch's son. I hate it, I hate myself for not killing you with my own hands, letting you rise to power in just one year!"

Although Huo Yuhao's appearance was completely different from a year ago, Xu Na knew that this was that bitch's son.

Hmm, is this the kind of declaration that some people say before they die?
In front of Dai Hao, Huo Yuhao stepped forward and pinched Xu Na's chin, his voice sounding like a devil's whisper to her.

“You should really regret not killing me when I was a child. Dai Hao hasn’t told you yet, has he? Your second son, Dai Huabin, actually died at my hands.”

"On the field, he roared that he was the son of the Duke of White Tiger, and who dared to kill him, who could kill him?"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao clenched his fist and waved it in front of Xu Na.

“I smashed his chest with my own hands. His heart was still beating at the time. He didn’t even recognize me until he died. I was the adopted son who was bullied by him since childhood and had to carefully survive in the filth and ruins, not even as good as a concubine’s son.”

"Tell me, what was he thinking before he died, you, his mother?" She withdrew her hand, pointing at Dai Hao, "Or was it his father, who was there at the time?"

Even a nobleman, the Duke of White Tiger, and the God of War of Star Luo, Dai Hao, could no longer maintain his composure upon hearing these words.

"enough!"

He knew Huo Yuhao harbored resentment, but such hurtful words were unbearable for anyone, let alone Xu Na.

"Oh, no, no, no, that's not enough. Don't you think it's going too far?"

Huo Yuhao stood up, with Du Busi already standing behind him. Kong Deming also dealt with all the powerful figures in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, including the elders of the Dai family lineage in the mansion.

Now, the once vast White Tiger Duke's mansion is now only occupied by Huo Yuhao and his group, as well as Dai Hao and his family of three.

Of course, those who had helped him were still alive, and Huo Yuhao was happy to grant them freedom and send them money so that they could enjoy a life of wealth and comfort.

This includes his half-brother, Deloris, but now is not the time to talk to him.

Compared to himself, this person had received some fatherly love, and was not lacking in motherly love. If he knew that he had killed Dai Hao, he would not necessarily hate him, but he would still feel some resentment.

He didn't really care, but to avoid trouble, he just wouldn't let him see it.

The White Tiger Dagger, which Huo Yuhao once regarded as his only hope, reappeared in his hands. It was still quite useful at this moment.

Dai Yueheng woke up, awakened by Huo Yuhao's mental shock, but she still looked like she was in unbearable pain and full of despair for the future.

He couldn't even tell what was happening. All he saw was his father, whom he had always looked up to, and his mother, who had always doted on him, both looking at him with expressions of utter terror.

Especially the father, whom he regarded as an idol, was kneeling on the ground at this moment, looking particularly pathetic.

Only when the White Tiger Dagger slit his throat, blood flowed continuously, and he felt his life force fading away did he realize he was going to die.

A sound like drowning came from below. He didn't know why he was going to die, but he didn't want to die in a daze.

"why?"

why?
That is indeed a good question, but Huo Yuhao did not want to waste any more words. He had no obligation to answer the questions of a dying man.

Dai Hao was still struggling, "He's your brother! Even if you resent me, why did you kill him? Blood is thicker than water!"

The White Tiger Dagger had not yet fulfilled its duty, and Dai Hao, looking at the soul-guided dagger he had left behind, was now overwhelmed with countless regrets.

If I could do it all over again, I would never make such a mistake again, and I would never let Xu Na torment Huo Yun'er and her son Yuhao like that.

Look, he actually knew something about Xu Na's behavior from the beginning, at least he remembered some of it now, or he had heard about it a long time ago. After all, the White Tiger Duke's mansion is the most powerful. Xu Na wanted to cover it up, but how could she hide it from Dai Hao?

However, as time passed, he forgot about the lowly maid Huo Yun'er, and he forgot about the illegitimate child with only level one innate soul power, who was considered unworthy of being cultivated, a disgrace to the bloodline of the White Tiger Duke, and also had mutated eyes.

Brothers, blood is thicker than water, right?
Huo Yuhao found those two sentences quite interesting, and he only had one response to Dai Hao: "Watch!"
