Chapter 108: Didn't expect it, did you? We will meet again!
Huo Yuhao couldn't empathize, but he could feel the deep malice and cold discrimination inherent in human nature.
Even the children of those servants would imitate them, constantly bullying the weak Huo Yuhao as if he were a beggar.
Is human nature inherently good?
Is human nature inherently evil?
Ultimately, it's just the environment!
At its core, school bullying is also about bullies gaining a sense of dominance and satisfying their distorted desire for power by continuously demeaning their victims. In his previous life, in a world with a relatively complete legal system, such incidents were endless—let alone in such a distorted world.
With the White Tiger Duke's wife's tacit approval, these low-level servants naturally took great pleasure in bullying Huo Yuhao, satisfying their perverse desires, and enjoying the feeling of trampling on someone with noble blood and wantonly insulting him.
The White Tiger Duke's mansion was garrisoned by elite White Tiger Guards, but with Kong Deming and Du Busi making their move, these guards were no different from ants.
And everyone in the White Tiger Duke's mansion never imagined that on this peaceful evening—an evening no different from any other—a young man they had once humiliated and considered a waste, a young man who had countless times resented the injustice of fate and harbored ill will towards the world, would return with a new appearance to settle all past grievances.
Several hours ago.
Back garden.
The pond, inlaid with gems, housed a ten-year-old Soul Beast Golden Scaled Dragon Carp, and the bottom of the pond was covered with pigeon blood ruby fragments—an astonishing level of luxury.
And the White Tiger Duke's wife, who would normally be here idly feeding the Golden Scaled Dragon Carp, was now crying hysterically in a room in the back courtyard.
Once upon a time, her two sons had successively entered Shrek and become core disciples, representing Shrek in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. She was so proud, so glorious.
Now, everything is over. Her youngest son was dead, and her eldest son was severely injured, having lost both arms, and would become a cripple in the future. It was so despairing—heaven and hell felt not far apart.
But what could she do? Dai Yueheng was severely injured under Shrek's leadership, and her youngest son, Dai Huabin, was also killed in the tournament. Who could she blame? Shrek? Or the Sun Moon Empire? She didn't even know where to seek an explanation.
Dai Hao was by his wife's side, his face also grim. He had returned in a hurry and hadn't yet informed her about what happened at the tournament—specifically about Huo Yuhao. His mind was in a mess, and he didn't know how to speak.
However, listening to his wife's wailing made him incredibly irritable.
"Stop crying. I have something to ask you."
Dai Hao gritted his teeth, deciding he had to clarify the past. He wanted to know how Huo Yun'er, who hadn't died, had been bullied by his legitimate wife during his absence.
The White Tiger Duke's wife, Xu Na, came from a Star Luo noble family and had an inexplicable connection with the imperial family. Hearing Dai Hao's roar, she immediately quieted down.
"Back then, was it you who had people hide from me so that Huo Yun'er and her son were still alive? Was it you who had the servants bully them, keeping me from knowing I had another son?"
Dai Hao's tone wasn't heavy, but anyone could hear the anger in his words.
Dai Yueheng was awake at this time, lying in bed with a dejected expression. Watching his mother and father suddenly fall into this strange atmosphere, he put on a coat, barely propped himself up, and walked out indifferently.
He didn't want to get involved in this; he was already a cripple!
Xu Na was even more furious. "Our son is dead, and our eldest son is still severely injured. They are your legitimate sons! You don't care about your legitimate sons, and now you still have the mind to ask about that little beast!"
"What if it was me?!" Xu Na's voice was hoarse. She didn't care how Dai Hao found out. "Don't pretend to be a good person here; wasn't this your intention? A maidservant, a lowly maid who disgraced the Duke's mansion's reputation—do you dare say there was no tacit approval from you?"
Dai Hao's veins on his forehead throbbed, and he clenched his fists. "I said, I didn't know!"
Didn't know?
He just didn't care, right?
Just as Xu Na was about to continue arguing, footsteps suddenly came from outside.
"Get out! Didn't I say no one is allowed near here without my command?!"
Dai Hao instinctively scolded, but a playful voice came, making him break out in a cold sweat instantly.
"White Tiger Duke, you have quite a temper."
Du Busi was seen holding Dai Yueheng, who had just gone out, looking at the two people in the room with a playful expression. The powerful pressure made Dai Hao and Xu Na have no thought of resisting. Xu Na was even worse; her weak strength made her kneel on the ground like a dead dog.
Dai Hao was slightly better, but under the pressure of a ninety-eight-level Super Douluo, his own Soul Douluo strength didn't fare much better.
Time fast-forwards to now.
Kong Deming had also almost finished clearing out the external guards and top powerhouses of the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
On Huo Yuhao's side, it was also the final wrapping-up moment. The entire White Tiger Duke's mansion outside was already a river of blood. Only Dai Hao and Xu Na were controlled by Du Busi, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
White Tiger Duke's mansion, servant quarters.
"Phew~"
Looking at the last White Tiger Duke's servant, who had directly bullied Huo Yuhao, lying at his feet, Huo Yuhao felt his body lighten considerably, his thoughts finally at peace.
Repaying evil with kindness? Don't be silly; he wasn't suffering from PTSD—that wouldn't work.
"Yuhao, these guys truly deserve to die. They're still arrogant even when death is at their doorstep."
Just now, Huo Yuhao announced his name. Although these people were surprised for a moment, what followed was abuse.
They had thought Huo Yuhao, this illegitimate son, was already dead—especially since they had received rewards from the White Tiger Duke's wife before. Now that he had suddenly reappeared, with his appearance greatly changed, how could they explain it?
Many servants thought Huo Yuhao was still the weak boy they could bully a year ago. Without thinking, they prepared to attack. The result, of course, was that Huo Yuhao ended them, leaving no complete bodies.
"Bastard, you killed my father! The Duke's wife won't spare you!"
Behind him, a girl's voice came. She knelt on the ground, dressed more decently than many wealthy merchants outside—not like a typical servant. At this moment, she looked at Huo Yuhao with endless hatred.
Her father had just been killed by Huo Yuhao. Although she didn't know who Huo Yuhao was before, and still doesn't know now, this didn't stop her from hating the person in front of her.
This was the White Tiger Duke's mansion! This person dared to go on a killing spree here. When the Duke's mansion's people arrived, he definitely wouldn't escape.
Oh? Still, someone not afraid of death?
Because of Electrolux and because Huo Yuhao was unwilling to commit more slaughter and didn't want to implicate the innocent, he had mercifully spared the lives of those who had no previous connection to him.
He hadn't expected to be so kind. Wildfire can't be burned out; it springs up again with the spring breeze. This girl in front of him was just like his past self.
He remembered this kid. In Huo Yuhao's memory, the father this kid spoke of was one of the people who had bullied Huo Yun'er and beaten Huo Yuhao black and blue.
And one servant, by bullying Huo Yuhao to curry favor, had received many benefits from Dai Huabin. This little girl was one of the beneficiaries.
She even seemed to have thrown mud at Huo Yuhao. She didn't even remember it because many people had thrown mud, and she just followed suit.
"Kid, next time we meet, I'll kill you."
After Huo Yuhao said that, he told Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to go out first, and he followed behind them, but his steps were much slower.
The girl actually regretted what she said just now. She wasn't unafraid of death, but she glanced covertly at a certain well and still gritted her teeth, forcing herself to stand up.
But upon hearing those words, joy reappeared in the depths of her eyes.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's back, she made up her mind: just wait, one day, I will avenge my father and have the White Tiger Duke kill you.
The moment she had just set her 'flag,' Huo Yuhao, who had just left, returned. Now he was alone, with a cold smile on his lips.
"Didn't expect it, did you? We will meet again!"
