CHAPTER 66: Wolf's Heart and Dog's Liver!
Mo Tianyun stumbled his way back to the Mo Family, only to find that the two hundred experts he had brought back had dwindled to just seventy or eighty, and each of them bore injuries. Over a hundred had perished on this journey!
But upon entering the family home, he was greeted by the grim face of Mo Tianji.
âMo Tianyun, do you still have the face to come back?â Mo Tianji stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at him.
âWhat do you mean?â
âWhat do I mean? You should know! Out of the family's eight major industries, youâve actually mortgaged four! Hahaha⌠Mo Tianyun, you really have some guts!â Mo Tianji said coldly, âWhere do you place the safety and survival of our Mo Family?!â
Mo Tianyun's face turned ashen, and he shouted angrily, âI am the future patriarch of the Mo Family! Not you! What qualifications do you have to ask me this question?â
Mo Tianji sneered, âYou think you can still be the future patriarch after doing something like this? Are you dreaming?â
Mo Xingchen arrived from behind, asking, âTianyun, what exactly happened?â
Mo Tianyun dropped to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face as he said, âItâs my incompetenceâŚâ He recounted everything that had transpired, saying, âI thought that if we could win, then our Mo Family would leap to become the first family in the Central Three Heavens! No other family could compare! But who would have thought⌠that such a seemingly guaranteed outcome could lead to such an accident!â
Mo Xingchen sighed deeply, feeling disheartened. In an instant, he seemed to age several years.
Earlier, he had hoped that the matter was just a rumor.
But now, he had finally lost hope!
His eldest son, whom he had always trusted, had actually done something so outrageous! He had single-handedly ruined half of the Mo Family!
Looking at Mo Tianyun with disappointment, Mo Xingchen stared for a long time before finally letting out a desolate sigh, âThe Elder Council will decide your fate.â
Mo Tianyun's face immediately turned pale.
The subsequent Elder Council was even harsher. Mo Tianyun was charged with multiple offenses and was stripped of his position as young patriarch, being placed alongside Mo Tianji as a candidate.
This was still a consequence of Grand Elder Mo Wuxinâs favoritism towards Mo Tianyun. Otherwise, he would have already lost his life by now.
That night, deep into the night.
The under house arrest Mo Tianyun quietly appeared, stealthily making his way to the small courtyard where Grand Elder Mo Wuxin resided.
The Star Dream Light Dance Blade was always with Grand Elder Mo Wuxin, and Mo Tianyun knew this well.
Making this decision caused Mo Tianyun great inner turmoil for quite some time.
But he had no choice; if he couldnât hand over the Star Dream Light Dance Blade, he would have to give up his life! Because right now, he truly had no money to offer. Moreover, it had already been six days since the deadline had passed.
This meant that if he were to repay the debt now, he would need to return forty-four billion! This didnât even include interest. Selling the entire Mo Family wouldnât be enough!
Mo Tianyun looked at the wooden door in front of him, quietly clutching the item in his arms. His gaze was complex, flashing with pain.
The Grand Elder had always treated him with kindness, as if he were his own grandson, caring for him in every detail. Throughout his life, no matter how great his mistakes, as long as the Grand Elder was around, he faced no consequences. This position as young patriarch was paved by the Grand Elder all alongâŚ
Now, did he really have to do this? It was treasonâŚ
But if he didnât do this, he would lose his life!
Mo Tianyun was filled with conflicting pain, hesitating for a long time. Several times, he truly wanted to turn and leave. But⌠in the end, he didnât walk away. Standing beneath the starlight for a long, long time⌠finallyâŚ
He raised his hand and gently knocked.
