Chapter 1269: 612 slapped in the face, exploded [2 more updates]
Upon seeing this, In Pingsheng abruptly stood up.
He calmed his intense emotions and nodded, âMr. Fred.â
He was two rounds older than Fred, but his strength was inferior to Fredâs, so he ought to show respect.
In Pingsheng then saw that Fred had brought several bodyguards, who were all carrying boxes, which made his heart skip a beat.
Could it be that Count Clavel really invited Fred to the In family to propose to Si Fuqing on his behalf?
In Yunxi narrowed her eyes and immediately stepped forward, âHello, Uncle Fred.â
âOh, itâs Yunxi.â Fred naturally recognized In Yunxi and smiled, âHow have you been recently?â
âAll is well.â In Yunxi smiled elegantly, âAre you here to see Uncle Yaonian?â
âYes, yes, yes, I am here to see him.â Fred nodded.
In Yunxi showed a hesitant expression and spoke softly, âUncle Fred, Uncle Yaonian didnât mean it, itâs just because it involved Si Fuqing, he was a bit hot-tempered, heâŠâ
Before she could finish her sentence, In Yunxi suddenly felt her heart seize up, as if something terrifying was targeting her.
She couldnât help shivering and instinctively turned her head back.
It was unclear when, In Yaonian had appeared, watching her calmly.
In Yunxiâs heart jumped again, âYa, Yaonian uncle, you, youâre here, IâŠâ
Seeing In Yaonian, In Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Among Yaonianâs generation, only In Beichen had more strength than him; Fred was no match for him.
Fredâs eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, âYaonian, after all our calculations, we practically grew up together, and itâs been a long time since weâve seen each other.â
In Yaonian was somewhat uncomfortable with his enthusiasm and took a slight step back, âIt has been a long time.â
âIndeed, more than twenty years,â Fred sighed and added, âI came to the In family this time specifically to thank you, I really appreciate your help in cleaning up the Lotber family.â
ââŠâ
At these words, except for In Yaonian, who had known that Si Fuqing and Odile were friends, everyone else was stunned.
In Yunxiâs expression froze, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, almost doubting she had heard wrong.
Fred came to the In family, and he wasnât here to seek retribution?!
In Yaonian had crippled a marquis of the Lotber family!
âYouâre too kind.â In Yaonianâs smile was faint, âHe was after my niece, and I couldnât tolerate that.â
âNot just that, he was after my daughter too.â Fred snorted coldly, âRest assured, Brother In, Iâve already expelled that branch from the Lotber family. Here is a small token, please accept it.â
He clapped his hands, signaling the bodyguards to open the boxes.
Inside, aside from enough gold to blind oneâs eyes, there were various types of ore.
It was far from a small amount.
In Yunxi stared intensely at the boxes, her fingernails digging into her palms, her face already somewhat contorted.
âIf youâre free, Brother In, bring your family over to my estate for a visit,â Fred said with a beaming smile, âWe could also have a friendly match.â
In Yaonian: âThat sounds good.â
Fred: âThen I wonât bother you any longer, weâll get together when youâre free.â
He left with his bodyguards, leaving In Pingsheng and the others still in shock.
It took quite a while for In Pingsheng to come to his senses, âYaonian, Fred heâŠâ
âCame to make amends,â In Yaonian remained indifferent, âYou guys chat, Iâm leaving.â
He didnât ask for help but used his evolved beingâs abilities to carry away several boxes of gold and ore.
In Yunxi couldnât even find words to convince In Yaonian to leave those resources behind for others to share.
Her ears buzzed, and her face flushed red.
How could this be?
The In family had not succeeded in forging closer relations with the Lotber and Kusonoki families over the years.
Although she had also treated important individuals from those families, accumulating some connections, she couldnât change the relationship between the families.
How long had In Yaonian been back?
Others whispered among themselves.
âIndeed typical of Yaonian, to have settled things with Fred.â
âSupreme Elder, the In family really has hope now.â
In Yunxi could no longer hear what others were saying. Her heart was torn, and she left the hall looking utterly distraught.
**
At this moment, on the training grounds, many members of the In family were seizing the time to train.
Si Fuqing was crouching on the ground, in front of her a little girl,
The girl was only eight years old, her lineage had just awakened recently, and she still couldnât fully control the powers of an evolved being.
