Huo Huaisheng looked incredulous: "No, Father, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even died yet and you've already arranged everything so clearly. It seems I'm really doomed this time?"
Liang Hao snorted coldly: "Are you done talking? If you are, hurry up and lie down in here."
After he finished speaking, the coffin lid fell to the ground, startling Huo Huaisheng so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
In an instant, his survival instinct kicked in, and he threw himself at Liang Hao's feet, pleading, "Fellow Daoist, can you give me a chance? I'm still young, I can't just die like this."
Liang Hao: "No, you must die today. This concerns a matter of principle for my public judiciary. How can it be changed arbitrarily?"
Huo Huaisheng: "Is there really no room for maneuver? At least give me some time to leave some descendants for the Huo family before I die, okay?"
Liang Hao: "There is room for maneuver, but you definitely can't do it!"
Huo Huaisheng: "Now that things have come to this, I'm about to kick the bucket. Why not take a gamble? Fellow Daoist, please give me a chance and show me a way out!"
Liang Hao seemed to be thinking for a moment, then said, "This coffin is made of the finest Phoebe zhennan wood. There's only one like it in the entire city of Juzhou. What do you think..."
Huo Huaisheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he pulled out his storage bag: "Immortal, I am willing to pay a hundred times the price to buy this coffin. Please do me this favor."
Liang Hao revealed a dissatisfied expression: "What? You think you can buy your life with just a pittance?"
"It seems you don't take the arbitration committee seriously at all. Fine, let's just wipe out the entire Huo family."
Upon hearing this, Huo Kang was so angry that he slapped Huo Huaisheng across the face: "You unfilial son, I truly regret raising you!"
"Damn it, if only you died, this would have been the end of it. Now the entire Huo family is going to be implicated because of you."
Then, with a fawning smile, he said to Liang Hao, "Immortal, as long as you spare my Huo family, just name your price."
Liang Hao: "You really can mention anything?"
"Absolutely true!"
"good!"
Seeing Huo Kang's resolute answer, Liang Hao decisively stated his own terms.
"First, the marriage between your son and my sworn sister Su Yunying is hereby annulled. If I ever see your face again,..."
I guarantee your body will be available throughout the Nine Realms the very next day, you understand what I mean?
"Yes, yes, of course, no problem."
After this ordeal, how could the Huo family father and son dare to let Su Yunying into their home? With such a powerful and unpredictable sworn brother as their backer, could the Huo family afford to offend her?
"Secondly, your outrageous behavior has caused considerable mental and reputational damage to my sworn sister. Therefore, I demand that your Huo family contribute half of its assets to compensate for the emotional trauma inflicted on my sister."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing that he had to come up with so much money, Huo Kang was extremely unwilling.
Huo Huaisheng kept cursing in his mind: "Screw your emotional trauma. I don't know if your sister has emotional trauma or not, but my young heart is about to explode."
Seeing the two hesitate, Liang Hao raised an eyebrow: "What, do you have a problem with that?"
"No, no, no!"
Now that things have come to this, the only option is to spend money to avoid further trouble.
Huo Kang could only suppress his reluctance and hand over half of the Huo family's assets to Liang Hao.
After checking the vast amount of spiritual herbs and stones inside the storage bag, Liang Hao put them away with satisfaction and said to the two of them, "Alright, I'll let you off this time. Remember next time, my little sister's marriage is not something the Su family can decide."
"Yes, yes, we will remember the teachings of the immortal."
Liang Hao nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "Now that my younger sister's matter has been resolved, let's talk about business."
How do you intend to resolve this blatant provocation of the authority of the elders of my Court of Judiciary in public?
Upon hearing this, Huo Kang and his son were completely dumbfounded.
They don't even know what a arbitrator's meeting is, so how did they provoke us?
For a moment, no one knew what to say.
"What, are you trying to escape the sanction of the tribunal by remaining silent? If so, you should weigh the consequences carefully."
Huo Kang shuddered and asked cautiously, "Then, Immortal, what are your plans for this matter?"
Liang Hao: "Then it depends on your sincerity."
Upon hearing this, Huo Kang reluctantly pulled out another storage bag.
"Here is ten thousand spirit stones. Please accept this as a token of my appreciation, Immortal."
Liang Hao took it and glanced at it, then said, "Fine, seeing how willing you are to go, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll round it up and give you another 100,000 spirit stones, and let's just leave it at that."
"Pfft~"
Upon hearing this, Huo Kang vomited three liters of blood on the spot.
Half an hour later, Liang Hao carried a package consisting of over a hundred storage bags on his back, his face filled with satisfaction.
"Hmph, alright, since everyone knows they were wrong, let's just let this matter drop."
In the future, it's best to investigate the other party's background before doing anything, to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble upon yourself.
After saying that, Liang Hao flew away into the air and left without looking back.
After finally seeing Liang Hao off, Huo Kang and his son gradually recovered from their shock.
The father and son remained silent for about fifteen minutes before Huo Kang slapped Huo Huaisheng across the face.
Unexpectedly, Huo Huaisheng was prepared and managed to dodge the slap.
"Father, what are you doing?"
"It's all your fault. Now look what's happened. Most of the Huo family's assets have vanished without a trace. What are we going to do now?"
The thought of losing half of the Huo family's assets made Huo Kang extremely distressed, and he wished he could kill Huo Huaisheng to vent his anger.
Huo Huaisheng said, "Father, how can you blame me for this? This trouble was caused by the Su family coming to propose marriage. We didn't know anything about the background of the eldest daughter of the Su family beforehand."
