Illicit Relationship

Zhao Family House, Private Room.

"I didn't expect Xiao Tian to gain insight about battle instinct too." Zhao Chen spoke abruptly.

"Father, should we kill him?" Zhao Xun inquired.

Because Xiao Tian had gained insight about battle instinct when he was still in the mid-level master stage, they knew that he would become a very strong martial artist in the future.

There was even a high chance that he would become the Ruler later. This made Zhao Xun and Zhao Chen feel uncomfortable.

Because Zhao Sheng had gained insight about battle instinct, they wanted to make sure that he would become the Ruler in the future.

With this, their family would regain their former glory. That was why they wanted to eliminate all of their rivals.

But the problem was, Xiao Tian was Zhao Sheng's best friend. If Zhao Sheng found out that they killed Xiao Tian later, there was a high chance that he would stop practicing martial arts.

Now, Zhao Sheng was their only hope of regaining their family's glory. They wanted to make sure that he would never stop practicing martial arts because it would be a huge loss to the Zhao family.

Zhao Chen didn't say a word. He was thinking about whether they should eliminate Xiao Tian or not.

"We can pay someone to do that later." Zhao Xun knew what his father had in mind. "We have a lot of connections so I'm sure we can hide it from Sheng. He won't know that we are the mastermind."

"Sigh. Why did he have to gain insight about battle instinct?" actually, Zhao Chen liked Xiao Tian a bit because he was Zhao Sheng's good friend and also a genius in martial arts.

But now Xiao Tian's skill in martial arts was a threat to the future of the Zhao family.

"How is it, father?" Zhao Xun asked again. "If you agree, I wi-"

*Bang…

Before Zhao Xun had finished his words, the sound of someone slamming the door resounded in the private room.

Zhao Xun and Zhao Chen instantly turned their heads towards the source of the sound. When they found out that the person who had just slammed the door was Zhao Sheng, they panicked a little. Of course, they didn't show it on their faces and tried their best to remain calm.

"What did you say? Both of you want to kill Xiao Tian?!" Zhao Sheng's eyes were filled with coldness.

He knew that his father disliked Xiao Tian, but he didn't expect that his father wanted to kill Xiao Tian. And what made him even angrier was that his grandfather was about to agree earlier.

"What are you talking about, Sheng? Who wants to kill Xiao Tian? We only want to kill Ju Duan because he has bad intentions towards your big brother." Of course, Zhao Xun was lying because there was no way he could tell the truth.

'Did he hear everything?'

He asked in his head.

"That's right." Zhao Chen added. "Recently Ju Duan has become more and more arrogant so we want to kill him to let everyone know that the Zhao family is not a family they can mess with."

"You don't need to make excuses." Of course, Zhao Sheng didn't believe their words. "I heard everything earlier."

Because his father gave off an aura of anger when he found out that Xiao Tian had also gained insight about battle instinct, Zhao Sheng decided to follow him secretly earlier.

He knew that his father would do something to Xiao Tian, but he didn't expect that his father wanted to kill Xiao Tian.

"Are you afraid that Xiao Tian will become a Ruler in the future? Are you both so scared of him to the point you want to kill him now? isn't our Zhao family a great family?" each question Zhao Sheng threw to his father and grandfather, his voice was colder than before.

"Sheng, this is related to the future of our Zhao family, so we cannot underestimate it." Zhao Xun replied. "What if he suddenly wants to destroy our family after becoming the Ruler?"

When someone became the Ruler, he/she would be treated like a king/queen so he/she could order any martial artist to do anything. It was the same as in the jungle, the weak obeyed the strong.

When someone became a Ruler, that meant he/ she was the king/queen of all martial artists in the whole of China.

"He won't do that. I know him very well. He is someone who treats others based on their behavior. If you treat him well, he will treat you better, but if you cause him trouble, he will make you suffer." Zhao Sheng had known Xiao Tian for over a year so he knew Xiao Tian very well.

He then continued, "Instead of killing him, wouldn't it be better to build a good relationship with him?"

What Zhao Sheng said was indeed true. The other option for them was to build a good relationship with Xiao Tian but if they did that, they would have to obey him when he really became the Ruler.

"I have a good relationship with Xiao Tian, so I'm sure he won't destroy our family or make us obey him if he really becomes the Ruler." Zhao Sheng uttered, "I even believe that he will still treat you nicely if you don't cause trouble for him. If I know you kill him, I will never practice martial arts again."

*Bang…

Zhao Sheng slammed the door again.

Zhao Xun and Zhao Chen exchanged a glance with each other before sighing.

-----

Eternal Beauty Company, Xiao Tian's office.

Xiao Tian remembered that lately, he had no enemies.

'Wait!'

Xiao Tian suddenly remembered about Chao Ximeng's family.

'Don't tell me….'

Xiao Tian instantly sat up and called Chun Hua. Because he suspected that the Chao family was the one who paid the assassin, he ordered Chun Hua and four of his other underlings to keep an eye on them.

He also told her to find information about their family and give it to him later. Yes. if they were the ones who paid the assassin, Xiao Tian would use that information to teach them a lesson.

'Now what should I do with that assassin?'
