Chapter 1344 - 1343: Tang Rao's Ambition
"Didn't expect the old man could still talk, huh? Not only can I talk, but I can hit you too. A decent woman is made worthless by your words, now that you've asked Zhang Family Master, it's my turn to ask you, what's your motive?"While Tang Rao spoke, he drew an enormous curtain-like thing in the air. Tang Rao still had the Image Stone, and cleverly, the conversation between Zhang Yuqi and his uncle was recorded by the spies Tang Rao sent.
"Uncle, I'm furious. Why didn't Tang Rao die? He killed my best brother, humiliated me openly, and my big brother won't help me. Now, the only person I can rely on is you."
As time passed, the screen in the air showed more and more content.
Zhang Yuqi's strength is vastly different from Tang Rao's. Zhang Wei is still testing Tang Rao and doesn't know Tang Rao's true strength, so he wouldn't dare act rashly.
"Zhang Family Master, didn't you just say how I am? You even suspected there was something between Mrs. Zhang and me. Now, open your eyes wide, have you seen clearly?"
A few words from Tang Rao left the Zhang Family Master speechless; indeed, he lost himself in his elder brother's words.
He simply thought his elder brother's words were not just to sow discord, but contained a genuine reason, like his wife really fooling around outside.
With the truth revealed, does the Zhang Family Master still suspect Tang Rao with Mrs. Zhang?
The answer is, he still doubts.
Why does one person hold the Zhang Family's power solely while others are constrained? It's simple—caution and suspicion are involved.
As soon as there's a disturbance in the Zhang Family, the Zhang Family Master immediately snuffs it out.
Today, Zhang Wei embarrassed Zhang Xiong over a woman. No matter how much Zhang Xiong loved his wife, he wouldn't continue the relationship with her if her reputation was damaged.
Women are important, but the Zhang Family is more important than women.
And Zhang Xiong knows well in his heart what holds high status and what is low. When making choices, he is more rational.
"Even if he said something he shouldn't, so what? I believe there's a reason for my elder brother saying these things."
Zhang Xiong changed his stance as quickly as flipping a page. Seeing Zhang Xiong make his choice, Mrs. Zhang immediately sought a pillar, ready to end her life by crashing into it.
Fortunately, Tang Rao was quick to act and promptly caught Mrs. Zhang.
Now, in the eyes of others, Tang Rao and Mrs. Zhang had skin contact, making their relationship seem even more extraordinary.
"What do you have to say now, Zhou Juan, Mrs. Zhang, hmph, weren't you thinking of dying? Why are you clinging to this man, so intimately?"
Mrs. Zhang felt dumbfounded with bitterness she couldn't express. When did she want to have skin contact with Tang Rao? Zhang Xiong is still present. Even if he's not, he could still lie with his eyes open.
Years of marital affection mean nothing in Zhang Xiong's eyes?
"Zhang Xiong, I, Zhou Juan, was forced to marry you. Before I married you, I was clean, and after marrying you, I devoted myself to you and your children wholeheartedly—is this my end?"
Mrs. Zhang, no, once Zhang Xiong doubted Mrs. Zhang, she was no longer Mrs. Zhang; she turned into Zhou Juan.
Zhou Juan knows her words can't counter Zhang Xiong's, and she knows she's now a disgraced woman. The only thing she can do is to leave a good name for herself before she dies—at least let others know what kind of person she was.
"What's your end? You had good days ahead, but it's you who didn't want them—who to blame? Can you blame me?"
Zhang Xiong feels justified in everything, and since he has no affection left for Zhou Juan, whether Zhou Juan lives or dies, it doesn't affect him.
On the contrary, Zhou Juan's death could grant Zhang Xiong a certain degree of relief.
"Enough, Mrs. Zhang. As an outsider, I think dying like this would be a waste. There are so many beautiful mountains and waters in the world you're missing. It's not terrifying that you chose to live with a person like this, but the scary part is, you let this person anger you—shouldn't you be waving goodbye to Zhang Family Master by now?"
Zhang Xiong didn't make things easy for Tang Rao, so Tang Rao wouldn't extend courtesy to Zhang Xiong either. Even if it's like being a demolition team, he'd tear this family apart.
Moreover, tearing this family apart was considered a good deed by Tang Rao.
"You think Zhang Xiong would let me go?"
Don't joke around. A man like Zhang Xiong, for the woman he doesn't like, he wouldn't transfer her to another man even if he destroyed her.
So Zhou Juan's only outlet, her only end after being abandoned by Zhang Xiong, is death!
"Of course he will. If you don't want to die, Zhang Xiong must die."
A murderous glint flashed in Tang Rao's eyes, a precursor to killing. It might be easy to take an ordinary person's life, but killing Zhang Xiong could be more challenging.
Even Zhou Juan felt Tang Rao was talking nonsense.
"Tang Family Master, are you thinking of killing me? Did you just have the idea of killing me?"
Zhang Xiong laughed loudly twice, his fierce eyes made Tang Rao's skin crawl with goosebumps.
Guests at the birthday banquet, worried about being innocently harmed, began finding exits.
Aside from the Zhang Family members, only Tang Rao's group remained in the Zhang Family compound.
"Wanting to kill you isn't a new thought, just a difference between executing or not. Since you have a brother, who's also thinking of taking over the Zhang Family, I'll cut off your force altogether. How else could I hand over such a large pie to my own people?"
This is the ambition of Tang Rao. As someone whose strength doesn't match his ambition, Tang Rao is quite frustrated. As a mid-level god at the peak wanting to threaten an upper-level god at the peak, it's a good thing the heavens didn't strike with thunder, allowing Tang Rao to utter words that might provoke laughter.
"Alright then, the old man will see what you, boy, can do to take over my Zhang Family."
Zhang Xiong didn't notice Tang Rao mentioning Zhang Wei's interest in the Zhang Family, or perhaps he knew Zhang Wei's plan long ago, thinking it's easier to deal with Zhang Family members than Tang Rao, intending to take care of Tang Rao first.
Lightning thunder hammers appeared in Zhang Xiong's hand. As the hammers collided, the sky thundered and lightning flashed, as if some disciple was transcending.
Judging by such commotion, Zhang Xiong seemed to have unleashed all his skills to defeat Tang Rao.
"Tang Family Boxing!"
Tang Rao had countless treasures in his hands, but he wanted to fight Zhang Xiong with bare fists.
If he couldn't win, Tang Rao would consider using weapons against Zhang Xiong.
"Hey, Zhang Wei, why don't you two brothers come together and save me some time?"
Tang Rao's humiliating words were like a slap on the faces of these brothers, a painful sting.
