Chapter 65
Going to the capital, in the front hall of the Duan family.
Duan Xiong frowned, his old face full of anger:
"That bastard Ye Hongzun! He actually got involved with foreign forces!"
"He is now wanted by the National Security Agency all over the world, and even our Duan family cannot live in peace!"
Five heaven-level experts were sitting on the left side of the front hall, and one of them said in a deep voice:
"I heard that even Jiang Wang, the veteran saint-level powerhouse who was in charge of the Western Region Protectorate Corps, was seriously injured by Ye Hongzun."
"Ye Hongzun is so hidden. He has just been promoted to the Saint level and he actually has such strength!"
Duan Xiong nodded, with a flash of jealousy in his eyes:
"What's more important is that he is only in his fifties! Maybe he will have the opportunity to step into the legendary realm of god level!"
The five heaven-level experts fell silent instantly. God-level was the dream state of all martial arts practitioners.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Duan Xiong walked into the front hall.
His hair is mostly white, and he is wearing a custom-made bright yellow short coat with pythons embroidered on the clothes. He looks like an ancient royal noble.
This person is Duan Xiong's eldest son Duan Kun and Luo Zixiang's adoptive father.
"What are you doing here?" Duan Xiong looked at his eldest son, a flash of irritation flashed in his eyes, and scolded:
"Is this where you should be?!"
Duan Kun sat on the chair expressionlessly, turning the Wenwan walnuts in his hand, and coldly snorted:
"Although I don't know how to use martial arts, I am still your eldest son. Is there any place I can't go in my own home?"
Duan Xiong suppressed his anger and asked impatiently: "If you fart, hurry up!"
Duan Kun pointed at the five heaven-level experts sitting next to him and said casually:
"I'm going to Wanshan Province and need someone to protect me."
Seeing Duan Kun pointing at the five of them without any respect at all, a hint of imperceptible disgust flashed in the eyes of the five heaven-level experts.
You know, they are all Duan Kun's elders. The youngest, a heaven-level expert, is also sixty-five this year. Duan Kun should call him his cousin.
Seeing that his sixty-year-old son was still so careless, Duan Xiong immediately scolded:
"You can go wherever you like and be protected by whomever you want! In the entire Yanlong Kingdom, as long as you don't offend those saint-level experts, no one dares to touch you!"
Duan Kun frowned, "My godson originally said he would come to celebrate my birthday, but there is a birthday banquet tomorrow, but he hasn't come yet."
"My godson is a heaven-level warrior and a school officer in the National Guard Corps."
"I suspect something may have happened to him."
Duan Xiong knew that Duan Kun had adopted an adopted son, and he once scolded him, saying that he was self-destructive and that accepting an adopted son was devaluing the Duan family.
But now that he heard that Duan Kun's adopted son was actually at the Heaven level, and was also a colonel of the National Guard Corps, Duan Xiong suddenly became interested.
A young heaven-level powerhouse with a promising future is worthy of being attracted by the Duan family.
After thinking for a while, Duan Xiong looked at the thinnest of the five heaven-level experts and said slowly:
"Yan Qing, please take the trouble to take a trip."
Duan Yanqing nodded, "Master, don't worry."
Duan Kun also laughed, got up and walked out of the hall.
Duan Yanqing stood up and followed him out.
The next moment, a middle-aged man in his fifties walked into the front hall with a sullen face.
Duan Xiong frowned, "Second brother, why are you here too?"
Duan Ping sat on the chair with an unhappy face and said angrily:
"Dad, you said that my eldest brother is already old, so why don't you take good care of yourself in old age?"
"Isn't it obvious that he has adopted a heaven-level powerful man as his adopted son? Are he going to let his adopted son compete with my son Duan Peng for the position of the head of the family?"
"If you are not a member of our clan, your heart will definitely be different! If outsiders are allowed to enter our Duan family, our Duan family's property will definitely be robbed in the future!"
Duan Xiong's face turned livid with anger, and he slapped the chair, turning the chair into powder instantly.
He roared angrily:
"Why did I give birth to you two rebellious sons! You want to be the head of the family while I'm still alive!"
Seeing that his old father was angry, Duan Ping shrank his neck in fear and quickly explained:
"Dad, I am also planning for a rainy day. No matter what, my eldest brother's adopted son must not be brought back to our Duan family!"
"Also, my son Duan Peng also advanced to the heaven level two days ago. He just said, let me ask you when you have time. He wants you to give me some advice."
When he heard that his grandson had entered the heavenly realm, Duan Xiong's expression immediately changed and he said with great joy:
"Peng'er has really been promoted to the heaven level?!"
Duan Ping's face was full of pride: "Dad, Peng'er is a genius among geniuses!"
Duan Xiong was extremely excited, but the four heaven-level experts sitting next to him had expressionless faces.
From their point of view, neither the brothers Duan Kun, Duan Ping, nor Duan Peng are qualified to be the head of the Duan family.
Of course, it's not their place to say this.
Duan Xiong looked at the four of them and said:
"That's it for today, you go back first."
The four of them nodded and stood up to leave.
There is a banyan forest to the south of the manor, and there is a gray three-story villa in the forest.
At this time, Duan Peng was lying on the balcony basking in the sun. Next to him, a graceful girl wrapped in a nightgown was handing a peeled grape to Duan Peng's mouth.
Suddenly, Duan Peng caught a glimpse of his father and grandfather out of the corner of his eye.
He suddenly turned over and sat up, glared at the girl and said:
"You hide in my bedroom and don't show your face!"
After saying that, Duan Peng quickly put on his clothes, jumped off the balcony, and stood at the door of the villa waiting.
"Peng'er, my love for you all these years has really not been in vain!" Duan Xiong laughed loudly: "You have lived up to my high expectations for you!"
Duan Peng smiled modestly, "I have always followed my grandfather as my example these years, and I dare not neglect my practice in the slightest."
As he said that, Duan Peng's eyes turned red, "Every time I see my grandpa working hard on our Duan family's affairs, my grandson feels particularly distressed. He wants to share some of the burden for grandpa, but he hates himself for making too slow progress."
"Not slow, not slow at all!" Duan Xiong patted Duan Peng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are only twenty-five years old. To be able to become a heaven-level powerhouse is already a rare genius."
Duan Peng nodded and helped Duan Xiong walk towards the villa.
After sitting on the sofa in the living room and chatting for a while, Duan Peng poured Duan Xiong a cup of tea and suddenly asked:
"Grandpa, have you found out what happened to the Xiao family? Who destroyed the Xiao family?"
Duan Xiong knew very well what his grandson was thinking, and chuckled:
"The Xiao family was indeed destroyed by a super important person."
"But Peng'er, don't worry, he will definitely not be the Xiao Zhan back then. Even if that kid survives to this day, he is still at the earth level at most, and he definitely doesn't have the ability to destroy the Xiao family."
After hearing this, Duan Peng finally relaxed a little.
Back then, he chose to betray Xiao Zhan and told Xiao Beishan where Xiao Zhan was hiding. As a result, Xiao Zhan was hunted down and almost died.
Over the years, Duan Peng would have nightmares from time to time, dreaming that Xiao Zhan came back to take revenge.
And since the Xiao family was destroyed, his nightmares have become more and more frequent.
Duan Ping also laughed and said:
"Peng'er, you are already at the heaven level now. Even if Xiao Zhan, that little bastard, comes to your door, he can only kneel in front of you and beg for mercy."
Duan Peng also laughed. Yes, he has now become a heaven-level powerhouse. How many people in this world can scare him?
Duan Ping looked at his father at this time and asked tentatively:
"Dad, you see that Peng'er is now at the heaven level, and he wants to share some of the pressure with you, don't you think?"
Duan Xiong glanced at Duan Ping meaningfully, then looked at Duan Peng with a smile on his face and said:
"Okay then, I will leave our family's property to you to take care of for a while. If you don't understand anything, remember to ask me."
Duan Peng's eyes flashed with excitement, but his face was full of sincerity:
"Grandpa, don't worry. I will try my best and never let you down, grandpa."
Duan Xiong smiled and picked up the tea cup, skimming off the foam with the lid and saying:
"Our Duan Group is one of the top ten largest companies in the entire Yanlong Kingdom."
"We have more than 200 subsidiaries in various parts of Yanlong Kingdom, covering all walks of life, and they are all leading local companies."
"Also," Duan Xiong's eyes were sharp, "After the Xiao family was destroyed, the families in Shangjing City negotiated and we paid a certain price and have completely taken over the Xiao family's property."
"You have to be careful with those old people under the Xiao family. Some of them are dissatisfied with our Duan family. Do you know what to do?"
Duan Peng nodded, with a fierce look in his eyes:
"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't be soft on them."
