He was scared stiff by now, yet the menace on his fatherâs face, coupled with his guilty conscience, dissuaded him from admitting the trouble he had caused. Instead, he tried dismissing the old manâs warning with a few words. âDad, I really donât know someone who goes by Master Mu.â
âI donât care what entanglements you have with him. I donât want to know what you did to him, and vice versa. In any case, you go and resolve this matter. Quickly go and apologize to him.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His son raised his tone incredulously just as he finished his word. âDad, whatâs wrong with you; what did that Master Mu do to you? You look like youâre about to explode!â
Du Boxiong was already fuming, and his sonâs insolence only fueled his anger further. He was so upset that he wanted to give him a good, hard slap!
He raised his hand high in the air, but as he looked at his beloved son whom he had spoiled rotten since young, he lost his will to carry through the act.
Instead, the hand in mid-air curled into a fist, and he sent it crashing onto the table top. The furniture, as if protesting, gave a mourning sound under the blunt force.
Du Jiayan was really shocked and alarmed. He stood dumbstruck on the spot.
He had never seen his father so fierce before. Realizing that something terrible must have happened, he made a full confession before his old man. Upon telling him everything, he proceeded carefully and tried to observe his fatherâs reaction. âDad, I really didnât know his background! If I had known earlier, I wouldnât have offended him, but what happened to you exactly?â
âBecause of what you did, Mu Groupâs real estate removed me from all their projects!â
The recollection of Mu Yazheâs cold and heartless voice made him gnash his teeth, and he lambasted angrily, âDonât you know your action has dug a grave for the whole family? Do you think you can offend someone like Master Mu? Are you really tired of living? Even if you are, must you drag the whole family with you?â
His son was indignant at his rebuke. âWhatâs so great about the Mu family? How powerful can he be; is he more formidable than an emperor?â
âHmph! I havenât met an emperor before, but in the capital, the Mu family is the king!â
His son was absolutely stunned this time. Receiving his fatherâs side-eye, he heard him warn in a low tone, âThe Mu family has far-reaching assets throughout the world. No one can tell how far their empire has spread. We only know that the assets under the Mu family can shake the global financial market; it is also Asiaâs economic pillar. Whatâs scary about this family is that they have a vast network that cuts across politics, business, and underworld. This is without mentioning the connections they have in other areas! Even the mayor in the capital must watch out for Master Mu, let alone me, your old man! Let me tell you; you are courting death as long as you are up against him openly or through underhanded means! That man is a formidable enemy that you shouldnât seek, or else youâll die an ugly death without knowing how it happens!â
His son tugged at his lips rigidly and asked unbelievably, âDad... are you exaggerating?â
âWhat do you think? Hmph, everyone in that family is ruthless; thereâs none we can afford to offend, especially that Mu Yazhe. Heâs the most heartless and severe of them all. Heâs able to cut off all chances of survival for anyone without feeling guilt! You wonât know how you end up tomorrow once you step on his toes today.â
