Bill's hateful voice echoed throughout the secret underground chamber.

However, Michael's mind had already gone blank, and his body trembled so much that he almost

collapsed to the ground.

“B-But Dad, I... I thought you said the Chus weren't responsible. Back then, weren't you the one who

denied that Chu Tianqi took Angie's eyes?” he questioned in bafflement.

When Ye Fan was defeated at Mount Chumen, Chu Tianqi just so happened to end his training. Not

only that, but the latter also summoned the Chu Sect's Sacred Beast, Blaze.

At that time, Bill and his son were sure that Chu Tianqi had Angie's eyes. Michael even confronted Chu

Tianqi because of what he believed to be true.

To show that they were dead serious about the matter, the Joneses went to Chu Yuan for justice.

However, Chu Tianqi denied the accusation, and so did the other Chus.

In order to protect Chu Tianqi, Chu Yuan claimed that the Joneses were talking nonsense and insisted

that Ye Fan was responsible for Angie's missing eyes.

In the end, Bill changed his tune suddenly, apologizing publicly to the Chus. Besides that, he also

agreed that Ye Fan was the culprit.

Only then did the farce come to an end.

“If I hadn't gone along back then, you would've lost your life, and our family would've been wiped out,”

responded Bill with a satirical chuckle. “I had no choice but to change my stance if I wanted to keep us

safe. This is a dog-eat-dog world; only the strong survive. The truth does not matter to them. What's

important is that the person with the biggest gun gets the final say, and their words are the truth. We

don't stand a chance against the Chus in terms of combat power, so there's no point in standing our

ground. Not only will we fail to avenge Angie, but we'll also bring about our own destruction. All I could

do then was let Chu Tianfan take the blame.”

When he finally finished explaining, there was nothing but endless anger and hatred in his eyes.

Even though he knew who harmed his daughter, Bill could not do anything about it.

Instead of avenging Angie, the father groveled at his enemies' feet.

That moment had tortured Bill for many years, and only he knew what it was like to be that helpless.

Michael's eyes were filled with terror after he listened to his father. For all those years, I've treated the

Chus and Chu Tianqi as my dearest comrade-in-arms. Never did I expect them to have such a

despicable soul beneath their dignified appearance.

“Those b*stards! Animals!” cursed Michael with clenched fists and blood-red eyes before turning

around, ready to leave.

“What are you planning to do?” Bill hollered.

“I'm going to kill Chu Tianqi! How dare that b*stard fool me for so many years!” Michael had his teeth

tightly gritted.

“Nonsense! You're just a Grandmaster; you can't even beat the old Chu Tianqi, so what makes you

think you have a chance now that he has Jade Eyes?” His father raged.

“So what? Chu Tianfan never let the fear of death stop him from avenging Angie. I'm her brother, so I

should be just as fearless. Even if I die, I'm going to make sure I knock a few teeth off of that b*stard!”

At that point, Michael no longer cared if he would lose his life, anger consuming his rationality.

Slap!

Bill suddenly stepped forward and gave his son a hard slap to the face.

“How long do you intend to keep this nonsense up? We're in a life-and-death situation at this juncture,

so it's not the time for you to be reckless! I didn't suppress my emotions all these years just to see you

throw your life away. Knocking off a few of the Chus' teeth is far from the retribution they deserve for

the pain they caused your sister!” Bill roared.

With tears welling up in his reddening eyes, Michael lowered his head in silence for a while before

punching the wall beside him in frustration.

The man hated how weak he was and the fact that he was a good-for-nothing.

“If only I'm as powerful as Chu Tianfan. I'd kill every last one of the Chus!” Michael felt powerless and

was frustrated with himself and his incompetence.

“Dad, we should've helped Chu Tianfan back then. We should've aided him so that he could return to

his country alive. If he were alive, he would've been able to avenge Angie. But now...”

After learning the truth, Michael resented their foolishness for siding with the Chus to fight against Ye

Fan that year. If Angie were to know about this, she'd blame us. Still, it's too late for regrets now. It's too

late... With Ye Fan dead, the Chu Sect is calling the shots. There's no one left in this world who can

stand up to them, much less help our family get our revenge.

“It's not too late. On the contrary, our time has yet to come,” voiced Bill suddenly, stunning his son.

“What do you mean by that, Dad? Are you suggesting that you know a way? Or do our family have a

trump card that'll give us a fighting chance?”

After that outburst, the Joneses lost their influence in the Chu Sect because Chu Yuan and the others

had obviously become distrustful of them.

In the past three years, they got demoted from management and were only assigned insignificant

tasks.

The Chu Sect had basically cut off all associations with the Jones family.

In response, Bill shook his head. “We're not like the Chus or the Tangs. The Chus are the descendants

of Mr. Yunyang, and the Tangs are descendants of his partner. On the other hand, our ancestor was

just a doorman who worked for Mr. Yunyang. As such, our family background was humble in the

beginning. It was by his grace that we were bestowed with Jade Eyes, the power that lifted our position

and set us on an equal footing with the Tangs and the Chus. If you want to talk about trump cards,

that'd be your sister's Jade Eyes. With it, the two families would fear us; without it, what other trumps

card do we have?”

“What did you mean before then?” inquired Michael, baffled.

Hence, Bill continued, “Just because we can't avenge Angie doesn't mean he can't.”

“Who are you talking about?” Michael remained confused.

“Chu Tianfan!”

What?

Michael's eyes bulged in shock. “You can't be serious, Dad. That man's already dead, isn't he?”

Bill responded with a smile, “Dead? Does he look like he will die that easily? I was doubtful when I

heard the news of his supposed death. For three years, I kept having this feeling that he was still alive.

Do you know why I begged Ms. Tang to let me handle the four remnants of Dragon God Hall back

then? It's for this day!”

The more Michael listened to his father, the more confused he became. What kind of scheme is Dad

planning here?

“Michael, I've kept many things from you in the past few years because I didn't want to put you in

danger, but the time is finally right for me to come clean with you. To tell you the truth, I've always

believed that Chu Tianfan is still alive. Tonight, Mr. Tang suddenly ordered me to execute Chu Tianfan's

four Supreme subordinates just now, proving that I was right. I have a feeling that Chu Tianfan's going

to pay the Chu Sect another visit soon!”

Immediately after hearing his father's words, Michael was so shocked that he froze like a statue.

“C-Chu Tianfan's not dead? And he'll be going to the sect again? How's that possible?” He still found it

difficult to believe what his father had just told him.

“We're way past considering possibilities now, Michael. I just offended Mr. Tang, so I think he's going to

send people to execute the four Supremes by force in the next few days. What I need you to do now is

gather our best men and have them protect your sister and the four heavily injured Supremes of

Dragon God Hall. Get a private aircraft and fly them to Jiangdong, China. If you can't find Chu Tianfan,

look for his close friends.”
