After hearing the true reason, the Great Elder's heart skipped a beat. He knew very well that since Lin Xiaotian had made his intentions clear, there was no room for negotiation.
His face had already turned ashen. "Lin Xiaotian, even if you don't kill me, I probably won't live much longer. Why can't you give me a chance to go back and inform my family?"
"We don't have an irreconcilable feud. After I explain everything to our family head, I believe he will make the most correct judgment."
"At that time, he will definitely not be your enemy anymore, and perhaps we can even become friends. Having an extra friend means having an extra path."
A mocking smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. "Friends?"
"You lot are worthy?"
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked directly towards the villa.
The Great Elder, left behind, suddenly showed a look of pleasant surprise. Lin Xiaotian hadn't killed him. As long as he was given a chance, he could immediately call his family.
As long as he contacted the family head, he could directly inform him of Lin Xiaotian's strength. At the very least, he could protect the lifeline of their family and prevent Lin Xiaotian from wiping them out in one fell swoop.
But just as he shakily took out his phone, a foot suddenly stepped on him, crushing his arm fiercely.
He looked up in astonishment and realized it was Young Master Xu the Second.
"Young Master, what are you doing?"
"What do you think I'm doing?"
Young Master Xu the Second's face was filled with icy killing intent. "If you manage to make that call, when I see the family head, my father will directly kill me."
"Then he'll take the entire family and flee far away. After all, compared to life and death, the family's assets can be abandoned at any time. I know my father's personality very well."
"If the Xu family leaves, how do you think Lin Xiaotian will deal with me?"
"Besides, this is also an opportunity given to me by Lin Xiaotian. He wants to see my attitude towards you."
"My attitude is already very clear. I believe it's impossible to walk the same path as you anymore, because you are walking a dead end. And even if I wanted to stand with you, you wouldn't give me that chance."
"Especially my father, he is too ruthless. He even wants to kill his own son. As the saying goes, even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, but he completely disregards it."
Young Master Xu the Second gritted his teeth. "If he had given me a chance before, even if he didn't kill me, just crippled me, I wouldn't have any complaints, after all, he is my biological father."
"But he shouldn't have been so heartless."
"And do you think I don't know that the medicine he gave me isn't poison? That medicine has an extremely strong odor. Let alone poisoning Lin Xiaotian, even an ordinary person would know it's not something good just by smelling it."
"This is clearly a setup for me to die. You've already decided I'm going to die, do you think I'll give you another chance?"
After saying this, his face contorted into an extremely ferocious expression, and his eyes were filled with anger.
Just as the Great Elder was about to speak, a hand grabbed his neck.
Young Master Xu the Second said with a ferocious expression, "Old man, go to hell. You used to scorn me a lot when we were in the family. When you die, I believe you'll understand in hell how many heinous things you've done over the years. Sometimes even I couldn't stand it."
"You deserve to die."
Without any hesitation, he tightened his grip and crushed the Great Elder's neck.
The Great Elder's pupils contracted violently, his eyes still filled with disbelief. He never imagined that he would die at the hands of Young Master the Second instead of Lin Xiaotian.
This could lead to the annihilation of their entire Xu family, yet Young Master the Second couldn't see this.
He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but he couldn't. Young Master the Second didn't know that Lin Xiaotian might not spare anyone from the Xu family, including himself.
At this moment, Young Master Xu the Second saw Lin Xiaotian at the edge of the woods. A look of excitement appeared on his face, and he ran towards him quickly.
Just as he was about to reach Lin Xiaotian, he suddenly felt a sharp pain and then fell headfirst to the ground.
His eyes were filled with disbelief, not understanding what had happened to him.
Lin Xiaotian turned his head and said calmly, "Don't look at me like that. The severe poison on you wasn't administered by me, but by your father!"
"The bottle you were holding was poisonous. After you touched it, your palm would have been poisoned. I saw it when you were begging me to save your life earlier. I had the ability to save you, but I didn't intend to."
"You are very smart, but you are also prone to being too clever for your own good. However, don't worry, your entire Xu family will not be exterminated. I will leave one person to continue your Xu family's lineage."
"You don't need to thank me. The person I'm leaving behind is your eldest young master."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Lying on the ground, Young Master Xu the Second was completely stunned. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He had clearly killed his elder brother earlier, so how could he still be alive?
It was at this moment that the eldest young master of the Xu family appeared before his brother. There were scars on his face, and his eyes were filled with intense resentment.
"Honestly, I really didn't want to kill you. You were quite cute when you were little, and I took care of you for such a long time."
"But you didn't treat me, your elder brother, with respect, and you personally tried to kill me."
"It should be said that you already killed me. If it weren't for Lin Xiaotian, I might have already walked the path to the underworld. Lin Xiaotian has given me a chance at a new life, so from now on, I will only obey Lin Xiaotian."
"Today, consider it my revenge. I will take your corpse back with me, and I will also take Lin Xiaotian."
"Because the entire Xu family should not exist. This family is too cold-blooded. They are more like executioners gathered together. They should all die!"
Young Master Xu the Second could no longer speak. At this moment, his heart suddenly understood. He had been a pawn manipulated all along.
"I hate it!"
He uttered three words at the end of his life, and then a mouthful of blood gushed out.
But in his eyes, there was no despair, only extreme hatred for this world.
"The pitiable must have their detestable aspects. You deserve it!" The eldest young master of the Xu family snorted coldly.
