The man snorted as he narrowed his eyes dangerously at the boy, shooting him a cold, venomous look.
âDonât call me that!â he spat in disgust, sneering thereafter. âItâs all due to my carelessness that the plan failed! I didnât expect your father to have groomed two extraordinary sons! If I knew about it, I wouldnât be in such a state!â
His hostage, Mu Linfeng, struggled incessantly in his arms.
Mu Lianjue growled at him. âBehave and donât move! Iâm warning you: I donât have the patience to deal with you! Donât blame me for being merciless should you misbehave!â
âFrom what youâve done, youâre past caring about showing mercy!â The older brother gnashed his teeth in anger.
The other only cackled at that. âAre you blaming me now? You disregarded our kinship first! Didnât you try to abandon me here earlier?! What?! Brother, a child actually managed to frighten you! If the news spreads, youâll surely be many peopleâs laughingstock! The second family head of the Mu is actually intimidated by a seven-year-oldâI see that your entire life has been wasted!â
âShut up!â The older brother fumed. âFourth Mu, you should be the one bearing your sins! What do you mean by me disregarding our kinship first?! Youâre the truly heartless person here! You murdered Liancheng, plotted Yishanâs death, and even poisoned our fatherâs medicine. Youâve committed such atrocious acts! The one utterly devoid of conscience here is you! To think I considered our blood ties; in the end, you bit the hand that fed you! Youâre a true disappointment!â
âIs it my fault?!â questioned the younger brother hysterically. âIs it my fault, brother?! If you didnât join hands with the elders and supported Mu Yazhe, would I be where I am now? You wouldnât be in such a state, too if not for that! Iâm sure youâre filled with regrets nowâha ha! You spent so much effort in grooming him, only to have him fall out with you! What about your painstakingly groomed pawn? That pawn pays no heed to you at all! All of this huge Mu empire shouldâve belonged to me! Everything couldâve been better; the Mu Group wouldâve expanded majestically! Alas, you just had to go and support a pawn. Ha ha! Second Mu, I see that you have big ambitions, too! You wanna make use of our nephew like a puppet and swallow this vast piece of empire for yourself!â
The further he spoke, the darker his brotherâs face got. The latter growled, âShut up!â
âWhat? Have I gotten a rise out of you? Ha ha! Itâs all true, though! I am nowhere as ambitious as you are!â
As he squinted his eyes, his voice took on a sinister tone.
His bitter-cold voice revealed his deep resentment. âIf not for your stupidity, I wouldnât be in such a state now! Brother, if I must die here tonight, then you all will have to die with me!â
âWhat a fool! Fourth Mu, youâre truly a great disappointment!â
His older brother sighed as he shook his head disappointedly.
He snapped, âShut up! Itâs all thanks to you that I ended up this way! Itâs all your faultâyours!â
