BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2604: Ice Flame Continent 62
Ziluo harbored no intentions of granting Kang Yan a favorable outcome. Her current actions were calculated, forming part of her broader plan, and her anger burned fiercely.
Kang Yan felt thoroughly disconcerted. He yearned to explain to the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race, but he also desired a private conversation with Ziluo to clarify matters.
At this juncture, neither side seemed to gain any advantage.
Observing Kang Yan’s reaction, the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race evaded and flinched. He recognized the truth in Ziluo’s words and proceeded to deliver a series of slaps to Kang Yan.
Kang Yan’s face bore the evidence of blood, and he lay unable to rise.
The Clan Leader chose not to escalate further.
Considering Ziluo was his daughter-in-law, inflicting more harm would disadvantage her. Thus, the Clan Leader of True Martial Race refrained from harsher punishment.
“Father, I’ve never been treated this way since my youth. He dared to bully me like this. Why are you punishing him so lightly? Beat him to death! Beat him to death!” Ziluo exclaimed with apparent distress, feigning injury.
Given that her father, the First Elder, had already been apprehended, his fate appeared grim. This individual proved to be utterly useless, daring to lay hands on her. Ziluo argued that such a person deserved death, and she asserted her capability to find someone more worthy.
This uproar served as a tactic by Ziluo, motivated by the dire circumstances involving her father, the First Elder.
The Clan Leader of True Martial Race, unaware of the complete truth, hesitated.
Pulling Violet Lola aside, he whispered, “While it’s alright to embarrass him, if something serious happens, you will bear the consequences.”
“Father!” Ziluo’s sharp cry rang out, “It’s better if he’s dead!”
The Clan Leader of True Martial Race stood dumbfounded.
“The First Elder has already been captured by the Anicca Race. He’s desperate and hopes to leverage the True Martial Race to reclaim his possessions. But our True Martial Race cannot afford to get involved. It won’t benefit us,” Ziluo explained.
“What!” The Clan Leader of True Martial Race never anticipated that things would unfold in this manner.
The First Elder, unable to handle a mere youngster, had placed himself in jeopardy.
Reflecting on the past, when Ziluo married Kang Yan, the Clan Leader regretfully acknowledged that it had been a grave miscalculation.
His face bore the weight of regret as he uttered, “I understand.”
With those words, he turned away, leaving Kang Yan with a glimmer of hope.
Having faced punishment and vented his frustration on Ziluo, Kang Yan anticipated that it was time to address the real issues, or so he thought.
“Lock him up,” the Clan Leader of True Martial Race commanded.
Subsequently, he departed alongside Ziluo, completely ignoring Kang Yan.
Confused, Kang Yan shouted and protested, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. They even silenced him.
Finally, silence prevailed.
The Clan Leader of True Martial Race regarded Ziluo and inquired, “What should we do next?”
Ziluo’s eyes still harbored resentment. She had endured severe mistreatment in the Anicca Race, even bullied by that woman.
Kang Shi had subjected her to cruelty for others, and…
Though she harbored a deep hatred, her feelings toward Kang Shi remained uncertain.
Ultimately, Ziluo hesitated before saying, “For now, that’s enough. When the time is right, we’ll strike at the Anicca Race.”
“…”
“As for my marriage with Kang Yan, pretend that it never happened.” Ziluo said, “I’ll still be in the True Martial Race in the future. We can discuss other things.”
“…”
“As for Kang Yan…”
