Hong Deren caressed his chest with his hand and after a while said, "He's indeed formidable. No one in the Hong Family is his match, especially with that Soul Eater of his, which has tremendous power. What I didn't expect was that in such a short time, he has already mastered Soul Eater to such an extent. I'm quite thankful that I didn't put the entire Hong Family at stake for a life-or-death struggle with this kid."
"Second Master, what should we do? Are we not avenging Elder Qian?"
"No!" Hong Deren shook his head slightly. "A gentleman's revenge is not too late, even if it takes ten years. We'll go back and think of another plan."
The boat finally arrived, and on the sea in the distance, a small ship was roaring in.
Fortunately, the heavy rain from earlier had lessened a lot, and the wind had calmed down, not as severe as before.
