374: Chapter 374 The Value of Sacrifice_1 374: Chapter 374 The Value of Sacrifice_1 “You call yourself a piece of trash, and yet you dare to speak of killing our Boss? Utterly delusional!” Du Musheng looked at Ding Li, who was in shock, and said sarcastically, “How much of your father’s death was due to your own stupidity? If you had been a bit smarter and uncovered the conspiracy, things wouldn’t have ended up like this. In this dog-eat-dog world, stupidity is the original sin!” Ding Li lowered his head; he had to admit that Du Musheng was right. If he had been clever enough, even with Xiao Chen stirring up trouble behind the scenes, he would still have been able to defuse this crisis. Unfortunately, he was not up to the task. He didn’t manage it. That’s why such a disaster had happened. “Mr. Xiao, it was our mistake!” The man standing next to Ding Li bowed and said, “My name is Guo Yi, blessed with the favor of old Master Ding to secure a place in the Ding Family, and chosen to be the guardian of the heir. The Young Master is impulsive in his youth; I hope Mr. Xiao won’t hold it against him.” “If I really blamed him, he wouldn’t still be alive,” Xiao Chen said indifferently. Ding Li clenched his teeth, but said nothing; he had to admit, Xiao Chen was right. Mentioning no one else, just Du Musheng’s strength alone was enough to take him down. “Is all of this truly your game?” After a while, Ding Li couldn’t help but ask. Actually, this was a question Guo Yi also wanted to ask. Xiao Chen was only twenty-eight, even younger than Ding Li. Could he really control such a complex game? To make everyone a pawn in his hands. Guo Yi found it somewhat unbelievable. After all, not only was Xiao Chen young, but after some investigation, he also appeared to have no substantial background. He was merely the husband of the chairwoman of the Xinmeng Group, a husband who had married into the wife’s family. Yet behind the chessboard of Tianhai, there lay the shadow of a great northern family. The Wang Family behind the Xu and Huang Families; The northern Ding Family behind the Ding Family; The northern Long Family behind the Du Family. These three northern families, though not top-tier aristocratic clans, are still mid-level families. Their strength cannot be said to be weak. And yet even a small figure like Xiao Chen could outmaneuver them? Is that possible? The Long Family dared not get involved. It seems the northern Ding Family also didn’t want to interfere. They all appeared to be intimidated. Only the Wang Family got involved, but they still ended up as pawns in this game. In Guo Yi’s imagination, the one behind the chessboard should have been an old man, a wise elder at that. At the very least, it should have been a middle-aged man in his forties. How could it be such a young person? Although Xiao Chen was formidable, he was, after all, only the king of Jiangnan Prefecture, with not that great an influence. “And if not?” Du Musheng said disdainfully, “Looking at your expressions, I know you don’t believe that the chess master is our Boss. But you don’t understand. Ever since the last time the Boss found me, he’s been plotting. There’s no need to doubt what’s in your hearts. The Long Family doesn’t dare to meddle in the affairs of the Du Family due to our Boss; The northern Ding Family abandoned you, simply because they are too busy with their own troubles.” “If you’re so powerful, why did you let my father die?” Ding Li shouted, “He did nothing wrong, it shouldn’t have been him who died!” “Young Master, Mr. Xiao is neither kin nor friend to us, and he has no reason to do such a thing,” Guo Yi sighed and said. He felt that Ding Li was ultimately too young. Xiao Chen wasn’t a saint; why should he help someone with whom he had no ties? Even more so, to offend the northern Wang Family, and to provoke the Xu and Huang Families for it. It’s simply not worth it. “You are mistaken!” Xiao Chen glanced at Guo Yi and said, “First of all, what Ding Li said was incorrect. Did Ding Feng truly do nothing wrong? Why did he abandon a promising future in Capital City years ago to come to Tianhai? Even renouncing the title of Northern Sword King?” It was precisely because he had done something wrong, and it was a very serious mistake. “The sensational Zhili Prefecture massacre back then was his handiwork, wasn’t it?” “Those people deserved to die!” Ding Li said. “Hmph, deserved to die? What do you think, Guo Yi?” Xiao Chen turned to Guo Yi and said, “Ding Feng made a mistake in killing the wrong person, which led to his loss of interest and decision to come to Tianhai City. Isn’t that so? He should have died long ago!” “But master was deceived by others.” Guo Yi explained. “That’s no excuse.” Xiao Chen said, “A mistake is a mistake, and he should pay the price for it. It’s precisely because he felt guilty that after he came to Tianhai City, he wanted to change the current situation where Family Clans are entrenched. He didn’t want the tragedy of Zhili Prefecture to be repeated. His death is atonement but also a form of release.” “You’re talking nonsense!” Ding Li shook his head, unable to believe any of this. Guo Yi, however, was extremely shocked. These matters were highly confidential, and very few people knew them. Xiao Chen actually knew everything. No wonder the old master died so resolutely. All these years living with guilt, he must have had a hard time. So, death was a release in a sense. He suddenly understood the meaning behind Ding Feng’s words before his death. Now that a stronger person had entered Tianhai, his task could be considered complete. He had to die because his death would act as a catalyst, helping this new person to completely alter the state of affairs in Tianhai. And this person was very likely Xiao Chen. Guo Yi completely abandoned his previous suspicions. He was now convinced that this man in front of him, not even thirty years old, was incredibly terrifying. Like the profound ocean, he was full of secrets and power. “Guo Yi thanks you on behalf of the master!” Guo Yi actually knelt on the ground. Because he knew that Xiao Chen was accomplishing what Ding Feng had wished to but had never managed to do. “Uncle Guo, what are you doing, why kneel before him?” Ding Li was still oblivious. “Young Master, kneel down!” Guo Yi’s eyes were cold, “I will explain it to you slowly later. For now, I just want to tell you that without Mr. Xiao, the master would have died in vain!” … While Xiao Chen was on his way to the Ding Family. At that moment, in the main hall of the Xu Family. Xu Junjie and Huang Tai were both present. Despite their injuries, they were still full of energy because the matter had not been completely resolved. They couldn’t be at peace. The Xu Family and Huang Family had united because of the Wang Family from the north. No matter what their relationship would be in the future, for now, they had to eliminate the Ding Family first. They wouldn’t make the mistake of nurturing a tiger that would become a menace. Otherwise, they would be the ones to regret it later. “Does the Wang Family mean to first eliminate the Ding Family and then divide Tianhai between our two families?” Xu Junjie looked to the person seated at the head of the table. That was Wang Chen from the Wang Family. Wang Chen had just returned, and beside him stood four other individuals. The aura of these four was no less intense than his own. The strength they possessed was astonishing. These were the reinforcements for both families, and also the key to the Wang Family showcasing its power. Wang Chen nodded and said, “The Ding Family chose to reject a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. They wanted an all-out conflict. So we have no choice but to eradicate them, root and branch. Whether it’s the Tianhai Ding Family or the Northern Ding Family. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only They all must be destroyed!” He had gone to the funeral before, only to be resolutely rejected by Ding Li when discussing cooperation. Therefore, there was no need for further discussion. It’s just a pity that if they were to eliminate the Ding Family now, they might have to wage war against the Northern Ding Family. This was somewhat unfavorable.
