Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Bai Ru

"This time is just a small warning. Next time, I’ll make him understand what it means to wish for death," Xu Ke threatened in front of the man’s father without any mental barrier.

"This is not just an empty threat," Xu Ke bared his sharp fangs at the man’s father, who clutched his still aching hand and swallowed all the words he was about to say while looking at the other’s expression.

He wasn’t like his son who grew up in a favorable environment since birth, which meant he had never faced setbacks or learned to read others’ emotions. Meanwhile, he had climbed from humble beginnings to his current position, having seen all kinds of people over the years. In his haste to seek revenge for his son, he hadn’t properly observed Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao until now.

Now that he looked closely, the two people standing together were indeed a dazzling sight. Their demeanor and temperament showed they had received good education, and their clothing—whether in material or design—exuded a sense of high fashion. An ominous feeling arose in the man’s heart. He hadn’t come to Shangjing to make enemies; he planned to stay if business went well. However, he hadn’t realized he had offended someone seemingly complicated soon after arriving.

What he didn’t know was that his intuition was not wrong.

"Let’s go. I think your friend should arrive soon. Let’s wait for her at the arranged place." Having bought the clothes he intended to buy for Lin Mengyao, Xu Ke lost interest in continuing to shop, and Lin Mengyao, after this incident, also had no desire to continue. Without much thought, she nodded and took Xu Ke by the hand, leading him toward the exit.

"Dad, are you really letting them go like this? They’ve done this to me, and you won’t get revenge for me? Am I still your son? Do you not love me anymore? Do you have an illegitimate child?" The man, eyes widening at the thought, feared hearing unfavorable news from his father.
