Starting With 3 S-Class Talents - Chapter 428

Chapter 428: Human Lives Are as Worthless as Grass

“Listen, Victor, I don’t have any extra time to waste with you. I don’t care about what happened between you and my subordinates. It’s just a human life. I don’t care. If you have any problems, someone will come and help you solve them.”

“You look so high and mighty. It’s really funny. I came here to ask you for an explanation, not to see you be arrogant. You won’t be able to walk out of this door until today’s matter is solved.”

This was the first time Victor had met such an arrogant person. Naturally, he wanted to play with him. Moreover, Victor was also very interested in what was going on between the Xiao family and the Central Plains Sect Alliance.

“You want an explanation from me? Hehe, you killed my people, and now you want an explanation from me? Victor, did I hear you wrong?” Xiao Chenggan chuckled and looked at Victor in surprise.

“Is there a problem? Your dog attacked my disciple’s mother’s spirit without any reason. I killed him. According to you, this is a life for a life.”

“You can think whatever you want. Fu’er, get rid of this troublesome person.” Xiao Chenggan waved his hand impatiently and motioned for the maid to get rid of Victor.

“Yes, young master.”

The woman called Fu’er nodded. She twisted her slim waist and came to Victor’s side, revealing a smile.

“Young master, I’m here to serve you well, right?”

“Get lost, what kind of person are you!”

“That’s right, stay away from Victor!”

At the right time, Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling walked to the wine shop. Just now, they delayed some time in order to calm Ping An down. However, as soon as they entered the door, they saw Fu’er sticking to Victor’s side, which made the two girls extremely angry.

“Xiao Chenggan, after so many years, you still look so high and mighty. You haven’t grown at all.”

As he spoke, Lian Hua tore off the human skin mask and came to Victor’s side to confront Xiao Chenggan.

“You know me?”

Seeing this scene, Xiao Chenggan frowned. He did not remember provoking such a beautiful woman.

“Wait… These eyes! You are… Xiao Liyue?”

“Don’t call me by that name. Ever since I was forced to leave the family, Xiao Liyue is dead.”

In fact, from the beginning, Lian Hua did not intend to expose her identity. Otherwise, she would not have asked Victor for a human skin mask.

However, when Lian Hua saw Xiao Chenggan, she suddenly felt relieved. For so many years, she and her mother had to hide from the family. In the end, she had no choice but to commit to a brothel. Lian Hua had had enough of this kind of life.

If she wanted to start a new life, she had to put an end to the past.

Therefore, Lian Hua tore off her human skin mask and chose to face Xiao Chenggan with her real face and identity.

“Why did you leave the family back then?”

“Why should I stay? Your father and the elders in the family schemed to take my eyes and transplant them to you. They thought that the next head of the Xiao family should be an even more perfect and outstanding person. Hehe, how ridiculous.”

Xiao Chenggan did not know about these secrets. After all, he was still young at that time and no one had told him such things. However, after so many years, he could vaguely guess some possibilities.

However, when Lian Hua told the truth personally, for some reason, Xiao Chenggan’s face became redder and redder. He actually felt ashamed for no reason.

Ever since he was young, his father had always taught Xiao Chenggan that he was the future of the Xiao family. Only when he grew up could the Xiao family become more prosperous. This had long become a concept in Xiao Chenggan’s mind. The Xiao family and even all the young heroes in the world… None of them were better than him, Xiao Chenggan.

“Is this the reason why you left? You should have told them. A proud person like me wouldn’t want your eyes.”

“You? Hehe, Xiao Chenggan, aren’t you overestimating yourself? You were only three or four years old at that time. Even if you refused to accept my eyes, who would listen to you? Who do you think you are?”

“Yes, back then, I didn’t have the ability to change anything, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have the ability now! Xiao Liyue, return with me. If you do, I guarantee that you’ll be the first elder of the Xiao Family!”

“Forget it, I don’t need it.” Lian Hua sneered and turned around. Her eyes were as gentle as water. She lingered by Victor’s side for a long time, unwilling to retract her gaze.

“If it were in the past, perhaps I would have been persuaded by you and returned with you. As for now, hehe, I have no interest in that.”

Hearing this, Xiao Chenggan’s expression was a little ugly. He stared straight at Victor and gritted his teeth, “Is it because of this man?”

“Of course. The men of the Xiao family are unreliable. This is the truth that mother and I have come to understand.”

“Xiao Liyue…” Xiao Chenggan wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Lian Hua.

“I will say it one last time. My name is Lian Hua.” It was obvious that Lian Hua had long lost hope in the Xiao family. In fact, it had even turned into despair. From today onwards, she no longer wanted to have any connection with the Xiao family. Changing her name was the beginning.

“Alright… Lian Hua, I can promise you that as long as you’re willing to go back, everyone will forgive you, including father. In the past few years, father has often mentioned your name. His words are filled with longing. If you don’t believe me, you can follow me back and take a look.”

“There’s no need, Xiao Chenggan. I came here today to congratulate you on becoming the future successor of the Xiao family. As the eldest daughter of a concubine, I have nothing to do with the Xiao family anymore.”

After saying that, Lian Hua turned around and left.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Chenggan was about to chase after her but was stopped by Victor.

“Victor, you’d better get lost!” Xiao Chenggan’s eyes were cold as he sized up Victor. It seemed that as long as he felt confident, he would attack at any time!

However, Victor did not seem to care at all. He pushed Xiao Chenggan away and sneered, “Crown Prince Xiao, didn’t you hear? Lian Hua has nothing to do with your Xiao family anymore.”

“I’ll say it one last time, Victor. Move aside.”

“What if I don’t?”

“I’ll kill you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chenggan struck out with lightning speed. His soul power swept out and transformed into a soul blade that slashed directly at Victor’s soul!

However, if it was a week ago, Victor might have fallen for the attack. However, now, his soul power did not lose to Xiao Chenggan at all. In fact, it was even a level higher than Xiao Chenggan’s!

Having withstood the attack of the soul blade, Victor smacked his lips and muttered softly, “Only as this level? Aren’t you supposed to be very powerful…”

“Victor! Today, you will definitely die! I will first behead you, then take Xiao Liyue away!”

“Noisy.”

Victor frowned and pointed out with one finger. The power of his finger pierced through the sky, Three Godly Fingers!
