1398 Regret

"A-Actually, I was on my way to apologize to Yuan for my behavior…" Xiong Lu subconsciously blurted out loud after being threatened by Wang Ming.

"Oh? In that case, let's get going." Wang Ming smiled as he started walking down the mountain again.

Xiong Lu could only accept his fate and follow the Demon Sealing Faction back to their residence. However, a few minutes later, Xiong Lu's cell phone started ringing loudly.

'Fuck! It must be the Deviant Bloods! Why did they have to call me back so quickly?! Are they trying to get me killed?!' Xiong Lu cursed inwardly.

The phone continued ringing, but Xiong Lu didn't dare to answer it and pretended to not even hear it. After all, he was surrounded by Spirit Grandmasters with incredible senses who would surely be able to hear his conversation with the Deviant Bloods from meters away.

If the Demon Sealing Faction were to learn that he'd tried hiring assassins to go after Yuan, he would surely vanish from the face of this earth before reaching Yuan's residence. Under such circumstances, Xiong Lu had no choice but to ignore the phone even if it might raise some eyebrows.

"Hey, aren't you going to answer it?" Wang Ming asked him with raised eyebrows.

"I-It's probably just spam."

"It's annoying! Hurry up and pick up the phone already!" Wang Bingbing shouted at him.

Due to the pressure on him, Xiong Lu completely forgot that he could simply put his phone in silence.

"Sorry…" Xiong Lu retrieved his phone and answered it.

"Young Master Xiong? We have come to a decision and—"

However, Xiong Lu immediately interrupted and spoke in an angry voice, "Fuck! Stop bothering me with your spam!"

"Huh? But we are—"

"Shut up! If you dare call me again, I will use all of the Xiong Family's resources to hunt you down!" Xiong Lu quickly closed his phone afterward, not letting the other party utter another word.

He proceeded to show an awkward smile to the others and said, "My apologies. Because of my position within the family, there are always people contacting me with bothersome things."

Of course, that was a lie. Even if people wanted to contact him for advertisements, they wouldn't have the means to find his personal phone number.

Eventually, the Demon Sealing Faction returned home.

"You can wait out here. We'll let Yuan know of your arrival." Wang Ming said to him.

"I understand." Xiong Lu nodded with an obedient smile, but deep inside, he was fuming with anger, as he'd never experienced such shame before. Even losing his army of exiles to Yuan wasn't as humiliating as this.

Inside the manor, Yuan was notified of Xiong Lu's unexpected appearance.

"Oh? Xiong Lu is here to apologize? I expected many things, but this was definitely out of my expectations." Yuan showed a look of surprise after hearing this information.
