“Alright… alright… okay…” Wu Shutong offered a miserable smile as he weakly replied, “You truly are my good brother. In that case, Big Brother, I’ll wait for you below, and I’ll make sure to report this grudge when we meet in the spring!”
At this moment, despite the deep resentment boiling within him, Wu Shutong had ultimately resigned himself to his fate.
He recognized the truth in the saying that a single mistake can lead to eternal hatred.
Just like Xiang Yu, who lost everything due to a single miscalcted thought. His ambition crumbled, costing him the entire world.
Simrly, Emperor Jianwen lost his entire kingdom and society due to a fleetingpse in judgment.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
And for him, Wu Shutong, this one error had resulted in the tragic loss of his entire family.
Wu Shuhang, meanwhile, maintained a slight smile and spoke casually, “Brother, once you arrive, make sure to visit our parents and the ancestors of the Wu family. You’ve deceived the British Lord; they are all-knowing, and I fear they will take matters into their own hands.”
Horror washed over Wu Shutong’s face as he realized the truth in Wu Shuhang’s words. The Wu family, loyal to the Poqing Society for generations, would likely not forgive him for his betrayal…
In that moment, despair enveloped Wu Shutongpletely. He forced a wry smile, feeling a piercing pain in his heart as if multiple sharp knives had stabbed him, leaving him utterly weakened.
Then, in an instant, he lost consciousness.
His internal organs had suffered severe corrosion, and he gradually faded away.
Wu Shuhang looked down at his brother’s lifeless body with an impassive expression. He then turned to the three individuals seated behind him and ordered, “Help me dig a hole and bury him.” The three nodded in agreement.
Together, they moved to the edge of the road in the thick forest, using their true energy to shield the body. They dug a pit over a meter deep with their bare hands, then ced Wu Shutong’s body inside and covered it with soil.
Once the task waspleted, Wu Shuhang brushed the dirt off his hands and addressed the group, “When we return, not a word about this must leave our lips. If you do, you’ll meet the same fate as Wu Shutong today. Do you understand?!”
The men stiffened at his words and promptly replied, “Understood! You can count on us!”
Wu Shuhang nodded, satisfied. “Good! Now that we’re clear, let’s head back immediately!”
