Chapter 408: Apology Unpursued

This outcry completely shattered Oda Chihide’s psychological defenses. He gritted his teeth and lifted his hand to point behind Xu Fan.

Upon seeing this, Qin Haowu’s heart thumped.

“Bingo...”

Xu Fan flashed a smile and snapped his fingers, thanking loudly, “Mr. Oda Chihide, you are a very sensible man. Good luck will follow you.”

Xu Fan did not skimp on giving him a good impression before he turned and continued towards the restroom.

Qin Haowu’s face turned ashen, and deep resentment filled him towards Oda Chihide.

Actually, he understood Oda Chihide’s choice, but when reality truly hit, a certain hope in his heart inevitably shattered.

Between the Xu Family and the Oda clan, he could only choose one.

Hiding in the restroom, Xu Qiyin faintly heard the commotion outside, especially the footsteps growing louder and louder, leaving his mind utterly blank and his limbs helpless, like an ant on a hot pan, wishing nothing more than to find a crack to crawl into.

But when he stood on the toilet and pried open the window for a look below, his face instantly turned deathly pale.

This was way too high, hundreds of meters up, the strong wind howling, and the people on the ground seemed like tiny black dots, scaring Xu Qiyin so much that his liver and gallbladder felt torn apart.

“Thud thud thud...” Xu Fan’s fingers rhythmically knocked on the door.

With each sound, Xu Qiyin felt like the Grim Reaper was tolling a death knell.

“My dear cousin, won’t you come out and see your brother?” Xu Fan’s voice sounded almost demonic, with a persuasively gentle undertone.

Xu Qiyin was curled up in the corner, white-faced, not daring to let out even a breath.

Xu Fan’s voice rose again, “Since you’re so shy, then I suppose I’ll have to come in myself.”

“Ah~~ No”

On the brink of breaking down, Xu Qiyin couldn’t help but plead with his voice filled with sobs, “Brother, I was wrong, I realize my mistake now. For the sake of our brotherhood, please let me go.”

It precisely showed that Xu Fan was venting his inner rage with this action. As long as his anger subsided, the incident would be much over.

Xu Qiyin sat collapsed on the floor, moaning in pain. But when he saw Xu Fan’s stern face, he didn’t dare to even breathe aloud, hanging his head low like a dead fish.

Xu Fan didn’t waste words, his voice cold, “Apologize!”

“Me?” Xu Qiyin couldn’t quite believe it.

“Apologize to me. Satisfy me, and I might consider letting you off.” Xu Fan glanced at him coldly.

“Alright, alright, alright!”

Only then did Xu Qiyin confirm it was true. He was ecstatic, as if he had been spared a small life. He hastily said, “Cousin, I... I’m sorry, I deserve to die, I’m a beast, I will never dare to do this again, I must reform myself and be a good person...”

“Fine, that’s it,” Xu Fan nodded and said coolly, “Let this be the end of this matter. Don’t make such foolish mistakes again. You have a great future ahead. Don’t be foolish and risk your life again, or there won’t be a next time.”

Xu Qiyin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put on a flattering smile, “Cousin, I’ll listen to you.”

Qian Zongsheng and Gao Ziling watched this with an odd look on their faces. They had thought Xu Fan would seize every chance to torment and humiliate Xu Qiyin, but unexpectedly, he was true to his word and let the matter drop after just an apology.

It was indeed surprising.

Xu Fan no longer looked at Xu Qiyin. He turned and walked to the window, hands clasped behind his back as he looked out at the scenery, a faint cold smirk appearing on his lips.

How could the matter end just like that?

He was no saint.

It was just that he had suddenly thought of a possibility a moment ago, which is why he decided to let Xu Qiyin off for now, planning to seek evidence afterward.

What prompted Xu Fan to make this decision was a moment earlier when he had grabbed Xu Qiyin, he had slipped a Divine Sense into his body. Xu Qiyin, being mentally disordered, had no chance of detecting it.

This Divine Sense would remain in Xu Qiyin’s body, ensuring that Xu Qiyin was under Xu Fan’s surveillance at all times.

Xu Fan believed he could uncover some secrets from him.

The truth behind Xu Tianlong’s harm, he had not given up on investigating.

Xu Fan executed this covert operation with no one present noticing, a testament to his skill. He was confident that even a Martial King or even a Heavenly Venerable authority would not be able to detect a trace.
