Chapter 755: Glory of the Vermilion Bird Family (6)
It went without saying that Shen Duan’s conspiracy fell through. Shen Yanxiao was from modern society with features of inclusiveness, freedom, fairness, and liberty. Her mother only had the bloodline of humans and elves. Even if she had the bloodline of all eight races, Shen Yanxiao could have accepted that fact with ease!
To have mixed bloodlines was a treasure, as a mixed-blood could enjoy the talents and skills of both races. These stupid people here actually despised this wonderful gift. What wasteful ignorance.
Ignorance was horrifying!
Shen Duan was not the only one surprised by Shen Yanxiao’s calm reaction. Even Shen Feng and the four Family Heads were taken aback.
They knew that people could have strong mental endurance but they had never seen one like her!
Shen Yanxiao was amazing!
“Anyway, Shen Duan, are you tired yet? I mean you are thinking a lot with that small brain of yours. Also, who gave you the courage to provoke me? Save some energy before you fall over over brain failure.” Shen Yanxiao ridiculed Shen Duan. He was so weak, so vulnerable. He was even less capable than Tang Nazhi.
“You bastard!” Shen Duan was filled with anger. This piece of scandalous news exerted no influence over Shen Yanxiao.
“I should have killed you together with your parents. I should not have spared your life!”
“Shen Duan, are you confessing that you have something to do with my parents’ death?” Shen Yanxiao squinted her eyes. She was sure of one thing: she would not show any mercy if Shen Duan was even slightly involved in the death of her parents.
“Well, something to do with it? More than something! I am not afraid to tell you anymore. I was the one behind your parents’ death!” Shen Duan felt smug. Believing that he had Ruan Yingzhe to rely on, he had nothing to be afraid of.
By his words, Shen Yanxiao pulled a long face. Shen Feng, who was standing behind Shen Duan, almost passed out after hearing the news.
Shen Feng glared at Shen Duan in disbelief, glaring at the son that he had once thought highly of for all this time.
“What did you say… Your sixth brother… Did you kill him?” Shen Feng could not take this blow. His youngest son and the daughter-in-law he loved the most died in the hands of his other son. This fact almost broke the old man’s heart.
Shen Duan didn’t mind that his ugly past had been exposed to Shen Feng. Shen Duan carried no guilty conscience. Rather, he was gloating happily. “Yes, I did. Also, I killed one more person — your eldest son died by my hands as well. I just regret this one mistake I made — I let go of the bastard Shen Yanxiao. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have needed to go through so much trouble.”
“You… how can you do that! They are your biological brothers! Brothers!” This news hit Shen Feng hard. Shen Duan did plot to murder him. Yet, even then, Shen Feng refused to believe that Shen Feng had plotted against his brothers a long time ago.
Shen Duan sneered. “Brothers? What brothers? Anyone that stands in the way of my son becoming the Family Head shall die! Father, you are confused from old age. Of course, I could tell that you favored my sixth brother and his wife. If the two of them and my eldest brother were not out of the picture, you would never pass on the position of Family Head to me and my son. I will tell you this. They were not my only targets. If you wanted to make Shen Jing or Shen Ling the future Family Head, I would have killed them too!”
Shen Feng felt his heart skipping a beat. He almost fell to the ground. Luckily, Shen Ling had sharp eyes and agile hands — he managed to help Shen Feng up.
Shen Ling felt his heart aching to see his father turning deathly pale. “Shen Duan, you have lost your mind!” Shen Ling berated his demon who he once called brother.
Shen Duan laughed out loud. “Men die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food. You are the crazy ones! In this family, I am second to none! I understand that since Big Brother was the eldest son, he might be eligible for the position of Family Head. But how could Sixth Brother contend against me!”
