Chapter 177: You're Old, You've Lost Your Edge
Xu Hu's face was ashen, and he felt a profound sense of humiliation.
He hurriedly tapped several pressure points on his severed arm to temporarily stem the bleeding.
"I admit that you are strong, but our Big Sister's subordinates are brimming with formidable experts, and there are plenty who far surpass me. Since you killed Yang Ling, you will die a miserable death!"
Xu Hu let out a cold snort, picked up his severed arm, and left Minor Pharma.
Tyrannical Blade sneered, paying no mind to Xu Hu's threat.
As he turned around, he suddenly saw Mo Han standing right behind them.
"Master!"
"Brother Han!"
The group hurriedly bowed in greeting.
Mo Han nodded and said, "Call Fifth Master. Tell him to thoroughly investigate that Yang Dingtian again."
Mo Han had previously reviewed the files on the Yang family, and Fifth Master had specifically highlighted that woman named Yang Dingtian, noting that she commanded a group of experts and was a deeply troublesome character.
However, having just witnessed Xu Hu's martial prowess, he felt that the information previously provided by Fifth Master was not yet comprehensive.
At the very least, Fifth Master had failed to properly investigate a powerhouse of Xu Hu's caliber.
If Yang Dingtian had subordinates even stronger than those Fifth Master had mentioned, Tyrannical Blade and the others would not be able to hold their ground next time if he were absent.
Therefore, he intended to take the initiative and annihilate the Yang family.
After all, he could not stay at the company every single moment.
Besides, once the company was operating normally in a few days, he and Li An'an would be returning to Qiancheng.
The potential threat posed by the Yang family definitely needed to be resolved before their return to Qiancheng.
Tyrannical Blade hurriedly placed a call to Fifth Master.
Upon returning to Dingtian Manor and seeing that Xu Hu had lost an arm, Yang Dingtian narrowed her eyes.
"Are there experts at Minor Pharma?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Yes. That person wielded a long saber, and if I am not mistaken, it should be the infamous Tyrannical Blade from Qiancheng's underworld," Xu Hu replied.
"It seems the rumors are indeed true. This Minor Pharma has truly taken control of Qiancheng's underworld."
Yang Dingtian nodded, waved her hand, and said, "Go get your arm reattached. Even if it remains useless after the attachment, it's still better than being missing."
"Thank you, Big Sister!" Xu Hu offered a bow and retreated with his severed arm.
"Minor Pharma, you actually dare to cripple one of my fierce commanders. You certainly have some nerve."
A cold smirk flashed across Yang Dingtian's face as she rose and strode out.
Before wiping out Minor Pharma, she intended to make a trip home first.
Driving her exclusive Maybach, Yang Dingtian soon arrived back at the Yang residence.
"Eldest Miss, you're back!" The servants felt a shiver of fear run through them upon seeing Yang Dingtian's return.
Once, when a servant accidentally splashed a few drops of tea onto Yang Dingtian, she had directly broken both of the servant's arms with her bare hands.
Filled with dread, the servants lowered their heads in greeting, not daring to look her in the eye.
Without even glancing at the servants, Yang Dingtian walked straight into the villa.
"How is it? Have you found any news about your brother?" Seeing her daughter return, Yang Yun asked anxiously.
Yang Dingtian glanced at her father, then slumped brazenly into the sofa. She propped her feet up right onto the coffee table, knocking over the teacup a servant had just poured for Yang Yun.
"You have no posture when you sit. What kind of look is this?" Yang Yun righted the teacup and chided with a sullen face.
"Throw me a cigarette; I forgot to bring mine." Treating her father's words as utter nonsense, Yang Dingtian beckoned to Yang Yun.
Yang Yun was beside himself with fury, wishing he could smash a teacup over Yang Dingtian's head.
Yet, anger aside, he still let out a cold snort and tossed an entire pack of his own cigarettes to Yang Dingtian.
He knew that no matter how furious he became, his daughter would never take it to heart.
Because his daughter was even more independent than his son, and had not spent a single cent of his money since she was fifteen years old.
He simply could not control her.
"Lighter." Yang Dingtian caught the pack, which turned out to be Chengdu's famous Panda cigarettes.
She pulled one out, clamped it between her lips, and demanded a lighter.
Yang Yun tossed over a lighter, his face a mask of rage.
Yang Dingtian caught the lighter in mid-air and lit the cigarette with a flashy flourish. Exhaling a cloud of smoke toward Yang Yun, she said leisurely, "Your precious son Yang Ling has already been killed by people from Minor Pharma and thrown into the Quxi River to feed the fish."
"What?!"
Yang Yun's entire body trembled, unable to believe Yang Dingtian's words.
Though the Yang family was not the supreme overlord in Chengdu, very few people dared to provoke them.
Who had the audacity to kill his son?
"I said your son was killed by people from Minor Pharma and fed to the fish," Yang Dingtian sneered.
"Nonsense! What kind of pathetic thing is Minor Pharma? How dare they kill my grandson!"
Right at that moment, the patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Hu, strode in and bellowed angrily.
He refused to believe Yang Dingtian's words, knowing better than anyone that she had long coveted the position of family head.
Yang Dingtian was undoubtedly trying to provoke him on purpose.
Let alone a small enterprise in Qiancheng, even the top few major families in Chengdu would not dare to kill his grandson.
After all, their Yang family had connections in the northern capital of Shangjing.
If they thoroughly offended the Yang family, even the premier family in Chengdu could not withstand the Yang family's retaliation!
"Believe it or not," Yang Dingtian said indifferently.
"Get up and sit properly! Do you still look anything like a woman?" Glaring at Yang Dingtian's posture, Yang Hu wheezed with rage.
"I'll sit however I please. Your darling grandson is dead, and there's no one left to inherit your Yang family. If you don't want the Yang family line to end with my old man's generation, you'd better beg me nicely," Yang Dingtian said playfully, blowing a puff of smoke toward her grandfather.
"You unfilial wretch, even cursing your own brother! Today I'm going to beat you to death, you beast!" Flying into a towering rage, Yang Hu raised his cane and lashed out at Yang Dingtian.
Unfazed, Yang Dingtian waited until the cane was about to strike her before she reached out and grabbed it, crushing one end into powder with a single squeeze.
"You're old and useless now; you should quietly step down, retire, and wait for death." Yang Dingtian loosened her grip, letting the dust trickle from her palm onto the floor.
It looked just like scattering fine flour.
Yang Hu and Yang Yuan both widened their eyes, filled with utter horror.
This was the first time they had witnessed such terrifying power from Yang Dingtian!
"You—you—keep dreaming if you think you'll ever control the Yang family! Even if I donate every last asset of the Yang family, I will never give it to you!" Yang Hu trembled all over, speaking with vicious resolve.
Yang Yuan's eyes, however, lit up brightly.
His daughter was actually this formidable, which gave him hope for the Yang family's resurgence.
In that instant, he suddenly felt that even if Yang Ling were still alive, he would rather pass the position of family head to Yang Dingtian.
For he alone knew just how far his son fell short compared to his daughter.
"Are you truly certain your brother was killed?" Yang Yuan asked again.
"Nonsense. One of my fierce commanders lost an arm—tell me, is it true or not?" Yang Dingtian sneered.
Yang Hu staggered, nearly losing his footing.
A murderous aura surged across Yang Yuan's face as he roared furiously, "Damn you, Minor Pharma! If I don't wipe you out, I'm no longer surnamed Yang!"
"Someone come! Mobilize all the family's resources and connections, and annihilate Minor Pharma by the end of today!"
