Chapter 333 - A Desparate Xiong De make a deal with a devil

"Wuyue\'er. I think you should give up on that butler."

Xiong Wuyue\'s eyes went wide.

"What?! No!"

"Wuyue—"

"I cannot let that s.l.u.t take advantage of Linfeng!"

"Wuyue, listen—"

"He is banished now. He has nowhere to go. You said you will take him in!"

Xiong De inhaled deeply. Everything seemed so irritating today. Even his daughter.

"Wuyue\'er, listen to me," he raised his voice. "Can\'t you understand what is happening? The retrial yesterday should have been made known to every member of both of the families. However, not a single person spoke about it! It is because either Old Xiong apparently have changed his mind, or they reached an agreement."

Xiong Wuyue wondered about that too. She was in tenterhooks after the retrial. What\'s more, that bitch suddenly held Linfeng\'s hand. That image bore into her memory. Jealousy, envy, and hate started to mix together that she could not have a wink of sleep. She could not even vent her anger and resentment.

Xiong Wuyue felt unwilling. She had suffered enough but that bitch was still standing with her raised chin!

Xiong Wuyue\'s red eyes grievously stared at her father, the only recipient of her pent-up frustration and resentment.

"But... but you said... when he is banished, you will adopt him and give him to me..."

"Wuyue\'er. That butler\'s life is not in my hands now. He solved it in his own, and I don\'t even have an idea how he did it," he impatiently said. That young butler did not seem simple, someone was helping him out in the shadows.

It must be that snake, Xiong Bilan.

Xiong De was convinced of it.

Xiong Wuyue was filled with bitterness, but looking at her father\'s face, she knew there was no way around it.

She felt disappointment and anger rush inside her. She had the urge to start throwing things once more.

All of this was that bitch fault! She was a vixen! A harbinger of bad luck! After what happened to her, she still had the guts to touch her man?

Then suddenly confusion came to her. Why the bitch could still show her face like that? With gritted teeth, she asked her father.

"That bitch. I thought she was r.a.p.ed? How come she can still smile and attend the retrial?"

"It failed," Xiong De said in a dark and low voice.

"What?"

"The attempt failed! Those useless men failed!"

Xiong Wuyue was stunned at the sudden outburst of her father. But she was even more stunned at the news.

Then, anger rushed to her head.

"You said she will be ruined!" she screeched. "You promised! You said she will never be able to smile again! How come it failed! That was so easy to do!"

His daughter\'s temper directed at him, putting the blame solely onto his head, snapped Xiong De\'s remaining strand of control. He stood up angrily and bellowed.

"You don\'t understand a thing! All you do is to make problems for me! Because of your jealousy, I lost everything I built up for years!"

Xiong Wuyue\'s body shook, her eyes turning even wider.

Her... father... actually blamed her?!

But it was him who broke his promise!

Her tears started to pour out.

Xiong De saw his daughter\'s tears and paused. He was stunned. He never shouted at his daughter nor blamed her like this.

But he could not apologize at this moment, as he was still very angry.

Seeing that her father did not even comfort her, Xiong Wuyue got angry again. She gave her father a look of blame and grievance before she ran out and slammed the door loudly.

It was that s.l.u.t\'s fault!

Now, even her father was angry at her!

Back in the study, Xiong De sat back down on the couch, exhausted.

Overnight, he had lost most of his shares. This was not enough for the big plan.

As his boat was slowly sinking in the sea of despair, his eyes suddenly caught sight of his cellphone.

Hold on.

His lifeless eyes began to brighten.

Right. He could ask help from that person.

He hurriedly picked up his phone. The screen was broken but it was still working. He dialed a number.

After two rings, a gentle voice of a young man answered.

"Hello."

"Young Master Guan, good afternoon."

The gentle voice chuckled. "Are you in trouble now?"

Xiong De exhaled.

"Young Master Guan, we have a big problem. I lost majority of my shares in the main branch. With the tiny percentage remaining, I cannot get a foothold at all in the Xiong Empire."

"Oh, is it transferred to Xiong Bilan, your eldest brother?"

Xiong De bit his lips. News traveled really fast.

\'No, this young man has just deep connections.\' At this time, only the Xiong family and the shareholders knew of it, so most likely this young man gathered this from his hidden moles.

"...Yes."

"Hmmm... maybe I should ask him instead, since you messed up this one. All you have to do is to wait patiently for two years, build up power and shares, and make sure that your old uncle was properly fed. Yet, you aren\'t even capable of doing such a simple thing."

Xiong De\'s pride took a huge blow. Anger started to rise, but he could not vent it to this person. He gritted his teeth and calmed himself.

"I know my mistakes. But I suggest that Young Master Guan to reconsider. Xiong Bilan is a snake. He can cooperate for a good while, but then he will bite you the moment you turn your back. I know him very well."

"Oh. Is it because you\'re brothers of the same nature?" The voice was a bit cheerful.

"..."

"Why are you silent? You have the same blood running through your veins. You can\'t deny that the two of you are brothers."

"...Of course." Xiong De gritted his teeth. What could he say? He would just agree to whatever this young man wanted to say.

He still had a use for this brat, but once he got the Xiong Empire... he would see then if this young man could still boss him around.

"Ha, ha, ha," Guan Gao Huan chuckled. He liked playing with desperate men. They could not talk back even if they wanted to. Even when their pride was stepped on so many times.

"No matter how much you suck up to me, I won\'t help you out without you offering me something better than what Xiong Bilan can offer."

"..."

"We are all businessmen, after all. We live for our self interests."

Xiong De opened his mouth. "Once I have the Xiong Empire, I will do everything in my power to help you get the Guan Empire."

"Huh. That\'s on the first agreement. It doesn\'t change anything. Xiong Bilan could do that for me too."

"Then... you can have thirty percent of the shares on your name."

"Do you take me for a fool? Once I marry your heiress, I can have that thirty percent freely."

"..."

Xiong De ran out of ideas. He could not say fifty percent. That would be a foolish thing to do.

He regretted calling without any plan out of desperation. This sc.u.m was now taking advantage of him due to it.

He still had not thought of anything when the gentle voice came again.

"How about this? Just hasten that old man\'s meeting with his maker? If you can do that, I will surely help you out."
