Chapter 872 - 870: Hodou's Hospital Room

While Ye Qiu was fighting.

On the other side.

In the VIP ward of the city hospital, where Hodou was healing from his injuries.

He received an unexpected visitor.

"Who are you?"

Hodou asked with an unpleasant expression.

Due to his lingering leg injury, Hodou had been in a foul mood these past two days.

He harbored a grudge against Ye Qiu, constantly plotting how to find and take revenge on him once he was discharged!

The sudden appearance of this unexpected visitor was unfathomable to Hodou.

This middle-aged man was not a pretty girl; naturally, Hodou was not pleased to see him in the ward.

The unexpected visitor did not answer Hodou's question but instead offered a mysterious smile and spoke slowly.

"Hehe, Hodou, the young master of the Huo Group, the only heir of the Huo Family. Two days ago, on a cruise ship, you were first slapped by an ordinary-looking young man, then had your leg crippled by a bodyguard's handgun. You ended up in the hospital, declared disabled."

Hodou was immediately shocked upon hearing this.

This middle-aged man actually knew about his humiliating experience.

"You! Who are you exactly?! How do you know about this?!" Hodou questioned in doubt.

At the same time, Hodou suddenly turned his head towards the door and shouted, "Iron Lion, where the hell did you go? Get in here, and get rid of this man for me!"

Such a disgraceful matter was not something Hodou wanted more people to know. The people on the ship then were his followers, who wouldn't leak the story. Yet Hodou didn't recognize this middle-aged man at all. Plus, there was no such person on his boat that day, so how did he know?

Despite his surprise, Hodou quickly decided to kill this middle-aged man to prevent him from leaking information or posing a threat.

After shouting, Hodou was startled to find that Iron Lion, who originally guarded the door, hadn't entered!

"Iron Lion! Iron Lion, you bastard, where the hell are you?"

He shouted again, but there was still no response outside, filling Hodou with a sense of bad premonition, showing fear on his face.

Indeed, he saw the middle-aged man showing a slightly mocking smile.

"Son of the Huo Family, there's no need to shout; your bodyguard outside has already been taken care of by me."

The middle-aged man spoke in a tone often used by elders, yet he held a sense of disdain within as he looked at Hodou in this sorry state.

These offspring from prominent families are truly weak and worthless.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man suddenly recalled his own son and daughter, both naturally gifted with great potential!

However, they were murdered by that hateful young man!

With that thought, a cold glint flashed across the middle-aged man's face.

Hodou sensed the aura of the middle-aged man and couldn't help but tremble, recalling Ye Qiu.

Hodou felt this middle-aged man was as formidable as Ye Qiu.

"Why... why did you take care of my bodyguards? What do you want? Do you want to kill me?"

Hodou was really scared; he didn't want to face those like Ye Qiu again.

"Don't... kill me, I can pay you money."

Hodou was filled with fear, yet he couldn't understand why this middle-aged man would kill him since he didn't seem like a hired assassin.

"Son of the Huo Family, you overthink this; I'm not here to kill you."

Seeing Hodou in such a sorry state made the middle-aged man look down on him even more. However, he wasn't there for Hodou but had ulterior motives.

"I'm not here to kill you, in fact, I'm here to help you; I know how you can seek revenge."

The middle-aged man directly revealed his true intentions.

Hodou scrutinized the middle-aged man and indeed found no killing intent.

Then, he paid attention to what the middle-aged man said, and immediately took interest.

"What's your way to seek revenge?!"

As long as he could avenge himself against Ye Qiu, money was no object, and he was willing to do anything.

"Make you stronger! As strong as that young man who assaulted you!" The middle-aged man smiled mysteriously.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Hodou widened his eyes in shock, thinking the middle-aged man wanted money by hiring him.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man's method was to make him strong directly! As strong as Ye Qiu!

Hodou immediately became excited. If he could personally take revenge on Ye Qiu, he would be thrilled.

"Tell me quickly, how can I become stronger?"

The middle-aged man chuckled inwardly; he had taken the bait.

Under Hodou's expectant eyes, the middle-aged man took out a small red vial from his pocket and waved it in front of Hodou.

"Drink this, and not only will your body heal, but it will also gain immense strength in an instant, matching that young man, maybe even surpassing him, allowing you to kill him personally!"

Upon hearing this, Hodou became increasingly excited, reaching out to grab the vial.

However, just as he was about to touch it, Hodou abruptly stopped. He shifted his eyes thoughtfully, surprisingly using his brain for once.

Then, Hodou looked up at the middle-aged man, suspiciously saying,

"I don't even know who you are; why are you helping me? What reason do I have to trust you?"

The middle-aged man smiled, thinking he had a bit of a brain after all.

Then, the middle-aged man provided his explanation.

"You only need to know that my last name is Zhuge. I'm helping you because I have some connections with your family, and whether you believe me or not is your issue. However, I must remind you that this young man is not someone easily dealt with. Without my potion, neither you nor your family have the capability to seek revenge."

This statement hit Hodou right in the heart.

He had been thinking of ways to take revenge on Ye Qiu while in the hospital.

But no matter how much he thought, he couldn't find an effective way to counter Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu's strength went beyond Hodou's understanding; he couldn't find anyone that could rival Ye Qiu.

No matter how much money you have, if you can't find the right person, you can't spend it, and you can't achieve revenge.

Hodou's heart was already swayed by the middle-aged man's words.

"Consider it yourself."

After saying this, the middle-aged man tossed the small vial onto Hodou's bed and turned to leave.

It seemed the middle-aged man hadn't achieved his direct goal yet.

But as he turned and left, he saw Hodou grabbing the small vial, smiling triumphantly.

It was just a matter of time before Hodou drank the potion.

By then, Hodou, having consumed the potion, would become the Zhuge Yang's human weapon!

Zhuge Yang had already set multiple traps for Ye Qiu.

No matter how formidable Ye Qiu was, he couldn't escape death!

Moreover, Zhuge Yang wouldn't let Ye Qiu die easily.

He would use every tormenting method available, making Ye Qiu's life worse than death!

For revenge on his two children!

To regain the honor of the Zhuge Clan!

Zhuge Yang smiled twistedly.
