"Oh, getting angry out of embarrassment? Seeing you still have the energy to talk back to me, I know you’ve been doing well recently. It makes me happy to see you thriving; it’s a relief for the elders at home." Xu Ke’s smile became genuine.

At the time of action, he simply felt a rush of success, but as time passed, fear began to gnaw at his mind, especially after Xu Ke’s prior words. For a whole week, he was plagued by nightmares; every time he closed his eyes, images of the Xu family’s deaths would flash in his mind. They called for justice in his dreams every night, leaving him tortured and sleepless.

"Hmph, I won’t argue with you, a mere brat, right here. We’ll see each other later!" Chairman Hu said, struggling to maintain his commanding presence.
