Liang Chenghu threw the stick in his hand heavily to the ground and spat in disgust.
He lit a cigarette, then squatted down in front of Liang Chengji, took a deep drag, and then exhaled a smoke ring with satisfaction. The pent-up frustration and resentment that had been suppressed deep in his heart for so many years finally found a way out.
"Does it hurt?" Liang Chenghu asked.
Liang Chengji was covered in blood. He nodded, his whole body trembling.
"It's supposed to hurt, you'll never know how I've survived all these years." Liang Chenghu sneered, "I'm not arguing with you because of our deceased mother. You are her son and my brother. I'm grateful to her for having such a strong conviction that brought me into this world."
"I thought we brothers could help each other and establish ourselves in Nanjing. Ha! But what have you been doing? I saved your life. Over the years, I've done all sorts of bad things and risked my life to make money for medical expenses on the high seas."
"You've got the Liang family's billions in assets, yet you haven't given a single penny. I've just run into a little trouble, and you want to kick me to the curb? Liang Chengji, are you even human? What kind of older brother are you?"
"Second brother, it's all my fault, please give me a chance, okay? I don't want anything from the Liang family, I'll give you everything, please let me go, okay?" Liang Chengji trembled, his voice trembling with tears.
"Useless trash, you're just a piece of trash. I don't know what the old man saw in you? Just because you're the boss?" Liang Chenghu became angrier and angrier as he spoke, roaring uncontrollably, "He's practically blind."
He kicked Liang Chengji hard, knocking him to the ground. Liang Chengji endured the pain and struggled to kneel down again.
“Second brother, we are brothers. You brought me to the medical ship in international waters back then, which saved my life.” Liang Chengji played the family card: “Now, please spare my life again. Everything in the Liang family is yours, I will give it all to you.”
"Now you know I saved your life? Too late." Liang Chenghu laughed loudly, took out a dagger and threw it on the ground: "We're brothers, and I don't want to kill you with my own hands. For the sake of our deceased mother, I'll give you a chance to end your own life."
"Second brother, are you not going to give me even the slightest chance?" Liang Chengji asked, trembling.
"Enough with the nonsense, don't force me to take action. If you end your own life now, everything will be fine. Otherwise, when that guy outside comes back after he's had his fill of killing, your death will be a thousand times more painful than suicide," Liang Chenghu said with a ferocious expression.
Liang Chengji was helpless. He had witnessed how his father died, and the man outside with a slightly eerie expression was definitely not human.
If I really fall into his hands, my fate is predictable and will be extremely painful.
He trembled as he picked up the dagger from the ground, held it in his hand, and hesitated.
"Don't hesitate, hurry up. If you still have any respect for me, then just stab yourself in the heart with this knife. One cut, and you'll feel no pain." Liang Chenghu grinned, then suddenly leaned closer to Liang Chengji: "Or, how about I give you a hand?"
Liang Chengji gritted his teeth, and suddenly roared, "I'll fight you to the death!"
He grabbed the dagger, struggled to his feet with all his might, and stabbed Liang Chenghu with the dagger.
However, an even longer knife pierced through his chest, the other end of which was held in Liang Chenghu's hand.
“Boss… I know you too well. You’re definitely not willing to die like this. I’m sure you’ll fight back.” Liang Chenghu sneered, “I gave you a chance, but you didn’t seize it.”
"In that case, you should go with Liang Qingshan. That way, the three of you can be reunited in the underworld."
Suddenly drawing his knife, Liang Chengji's eyes widened. He struggled, then fell to the ground unwillingly.
Liang Chenghu threw the knife in his hand to the ground, wiped the blood off his face, and then pulled out a tissue to clean the blood off his hands.
Seeing his biological father and older brother lying on the ground, he felt a twisted sense of pleasure.
"Haha, the Liang family all deserve to die." Liang Chenghu grinned maliciously, showing no remorse or pity, and strode out.
The banquet hall was a scene of carnage, with limbs and severed bodies scattered all over the floor, resembling a living hell.
Hua Li sat calmly in a chair, with several beautiful women standing behind him.
These women had green eyes and stood motionless behind him like zombies, clearly controlled by Hua Li's mental power.
Beautiful women are meant to be kept and enjoyed slowly; this was the first realization Hua Li had after transforming into a human.
"What's the point of keeping these women around? They're not exactly innocent." Liang Chenghu glanced at the women; he recognized them all—they were collateral relatives of the Liang family.
"Hehe, these women have a good temperament, unlike those vulgar women you found." Hua Li said leisurely, "I'll drain their essence after I've enjoyed them."
"But how are you going to handle this situation? I know that there are rules in the human world. So many people have died, you must give an explanation to the secular world," Hua Li asked.
“Just burn it down. Tomorrow I will convene a shareholders’ meeting as the sole heir of the Liang family.” Liang Chenghu grinned. “A sudden fire broke out at the Liang family compound. My father, Liang Qingshan, the current president of the Liang Group, Liang Chengji, and their relatives all perished in the flames.”
"Therefore, I will be the only legal heir of the Liang Group. After they recognize my status as heir, I will take charge of the Liang Group. At that time, the world of Jinling will be under my control."
"What if they don't admit it?" Hua Li asked.
“Then we’ll force them to admit that the rules of this world are actually made by the strong.” Liang Chenghu didn’t care about this at all. He said with a smile, “So I have the right to decide all of this.”
"Good, ruthless enough. This shows you're destined for great things." Hua Li laughed heartily, then couldn't help but applaud: "Looks like I've found the right person."
"Haha, Mr. Hua, I promise I won't let you down. As long as I'm here, I can provide you with everything you need." Liang Chenghu laughed heartily.
The Liang family's old house has a history of over eighty years.
The war did not destroy it, but it was ultimately destroyed by one of its own descendants.
A great fire destroyed all the evidence. Those who survived were controlled by Hua Li with special means, becoming either mindless zombies or too afraid to speak the truth. From then on, the Liang family of Jinling fell into Liang Chenghu's hands.
