Chapter 1074 - 1070: Taking the Initiative

At this moment, Qian Gaochang's emotions were more than just complex or regretful, like a mixed stew containing every possible flavor—sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy.

Yet Qian Gaochang also understood that he had to think of a solution in a very short period of time, otherwise, according to Xiao Tian's usual style, it was very likely that he would truly ruin his other leg.

Even if it's for temporarily pacifying the opponent, it's better than sitting and waiting for death...

Suddenly, Qian Gaochang felt an inexplicable yet distinctly present sense of panic, as if something bad was about to happen.

In his frantic state, he quickly said, "I take back what I said earlier; we can discuss this matter, as long as you… ahhhhh!"

Halfway through his sentence, a blood-curdling scream erupted from his throat, the awful, enormous sound making everyone who heard it involuntarily shudder, and their gaze towards Xiao Tian began to grow fearful.

How could such a handsome young man turn so ruthless when his hands moved?

Looking disdainfully at the continuously wailing Qian Gaochang, Xiao Tian's right foot on the crook of his left knee seemed to casually twist again, causing Qian Gaochang to issue an even more brutal scream, almost flipping his eyes and fainting.

Removing his foot, Xiao Tian sneered and whispered, "Only now you regret, too late."

——

Xiao Tian didn't expect that the first place he would go after returning to Huaxia wouldn't be home or his villa, but to his enemy's doorstep.

However, this was also an unavoidable situation; once the Qian family spread the news about Ozawa Miwa returning with him in a loud and boisterous manner, then both his family and Ozawa Miwa would face enormous pressure, even being besieged by many wouldn't be impossible.

Therefore, blocking the Qian family's mouth, no matter what, was a very necessary thing!

However, how to block it was the question; anyhow, it definitely couldn't be blocked with money.

In fact, even if Xiao Tian hardened his heart and decided to bleed once, the Qian family might still not agree, for overthrowing the Zhong Family was clearly more worthwhile compared to those large numbers.

Moreover, the reason the Qian Family is called the Qian Family isn't just because of their surname; although they aren't the richest, they are definitely not people short on funds, don't even think about using money to gag them.

After ringing the doorbell, soon, a large group rushed to the entrance, quickly lining up on either side like they were waiting for the master's arrival.

Of course, Xiao Tian wasn't foolish enough to think that the Qian Family put up such a formation to warmly welcome him, let alone the fact that he had just crippled the Qian young master's other leg; even without this incident, given the years of animosity between the two families, they wouldn't welcome his arrival.

Soon, a stout, half-gray-haired middle-aged man appeared, striding quickly towards the manor's gate, his brows and features showing seven or eight points of similarity to Qian Gaochang; their relationship was clear at a glance!

Patriarch Qian, Qian Ming, with a gloomy face, quickly arrived at the gate. Seeing Qian Gaochang, carried by two men of the Zhong Family, passed out, the veins on his forehead vehemently bulged.

However, unlike Qian Gaochang's high profile, Qian Ming, after all, is the patriarch of the Qian Family, and retains the necessary composure.

In just a few breaths of time, Qian Ming roughly grasped the situation in front of him; he was aware of Qian Gaochang's attempt to intercept Xiao Tian, and now that his son was being carried back while Xiao Tian was lively, it was self-evident what it meant.

And seeing Xiao Tian brazenly showed up at their door, Qian Ming noticeably sensed something abnormal; where there's abnormality, there's a demon. He absolutely couldn't be reckless now, or perhaps due to a single decision, the Qian family could fall into a state of utter doom!

This isn't Qian Ming overrating Xiao Tian, but he truly felt… the Qian family right now seemed to be in a chaotic storm, an imminent collapse just within a moment!

"Come inside to talk!"

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Qian Ming turned and left, followed by the slow opening of the gate, two rows of straight-standing experts' eyes moved with them, coldly staring at Xiao Tian and his entourage.

Feeling the pressure, Ozawa Miwa instinctively grasped Xiao Tian's hem, feeling restless inside, but had no objections to Xiao Tian's actions at this moment!

In the little princess's view, since Xiao Tian dared to act this way, he must have his reasons and confidence, all she needed was to support him and offer the help she could whenever necessary, which was already quite sufficient!

And Adison Claire, seeing Ozawa Miwa's action, retracted the step he was about to take, thinking, "Why does this person always manage to outpace me?"

This thought startled Adison Claire, why did it seem like he was getting jealous?

But before she could continue contemplating, Xiao Tian had already stepped forward into the Qian family manor, seemingly walking leisurely, with no sign of tension.

Adison Claire promptly gathered her thoughts and quickly followed him into the manor.

The few members of the Qian family escorted by the Zhong family's experts, nevertheless, showed panic-stricken expressions, no longer possessing the ferocious and angry demeanor from the return journey.

They had confidently left home with the young master, now the young master was carried back, and they were unharmed; even thinking with their feet, it was clear that there would be absolutely no good ending!

For a moment, looking at the familiar vegetation within the manor, they displayed gray faces, their hearts already as dead ashes...

...

At this moment, at the highest point of the manor, an elder with a cane in hand watched Xiao Tian and his party come forward, his usually calm face revealing an unmistakable touch of disappointment, showing no other expression.

Beside him, a middle-aged man resembling a servant stood respectfully, yet his heart churned: "The old master has never shown such an expression before, and to make him show such an expression can only mean something concerning the entire family, could it be this time..."

Thinking of this, sweat broke out on his back, daring not to think further.

The elder is Qian Gaochang's grandfather, the former patriarch of the Qian family, also one of the individuals with unshakable status, standing on par with Xiao Tian's grandfather!

Standing for a long while, the elder looked up at the sky, sighed longingly, and murmured, "Why can't the Qian family produce descendants as excellent as that?"

The servant beside him wanted to say: Master Gaochang indeed has many noteworthy qualities!

Yet, the words stopped abruptly at his lips, because he realized he couldn't indeed pinpoint what in Qian Gaochang was worthy of note.

Since injuring his right leg earlier, Qian Gaochang had been steeped in self-destruction, his behavior more vile than before; now, full of confidence, taken back, truly wanting to praise somehow, yet couldn't find a starting point.

"This time, the Qian family truly is in danger!" After a long silence, the elder said so.
