"I always thought Uncle Jiu was my good uncle, and I treated him like my own uncle."
I never trusted you, but I never imagined Uncle Nine would want my life.
Yaka felt a chill run down her spine; even her grandfather's favoritism had brought her endless conflict.
"Undefended?"
You can turn the tide and attack; if you're caught off guard, you can wipe out all my men?
You can fool a fool with what you're saying, and you can even fool yourself!
You're lying to me. Do you think I'd believe you?
Now, it's a matter of the victor taking all, and he's already a prisoner. His predetermined fate has already unfolded. He never expected that the old man had raised Yaka so well.
Beneath his nonchalant attitude lay such a deep scheme.
If Yaka knew that Uncle Jiu thought this way, he would probably feel extremely wronged.
He was a genuine cynic from beginning to end, never serious.
He thought that by acting this way, others would not be wary of him, but he never expected that Ouyang Zhenyu would forcefully turn him into a very shrewd person.
Not only Uncle Nine thought so, but even the bodyguards protecting Yaka thought so too.
Many people were sweating bullets, thankfully they remained loyal to Yaka from beginning to end.
If he had been even slightly distracted, he would probably be in grave danger now.
This young master is nothing like he seems; he has a level of shrewdness that most people don't possess.
Who would have thought that Yaka was probably even more wronged than Dou E?
It's just a matter of time before it snows heavily outside.
"Uncle Jiu, I have always respected you from the bottom of my heart and regarded you as my own uncle."
Why did you do that?
Why are you joining forces with outsiders to deal with me?
I have not interfered with any of your affairs. The operation of the mine has nothing to do with me, nor has the operation of the town.
Even though I'm not in charge of the guard, why are you targeting me?
This is something Yaka has never been able to understand. He is not a threat, so why are they targeting him?
"Yaka, aren't you just pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth?"
You say we won't fight, so we won't fight.
The old man has long since entrusted everything to you; everything he has done is paving the way for you.
Do you think other people are fools?
The old man specially organized this jade trading conference, and this time he has prepared the King of Stones for you.
The purpose is to use this opportunity to let all the merchants from all directions know that you are his next successor.
More importantly, you should take this opportunity to let everyone know that you have the ability.
But does your grandfather think everyone else is a fool? Do you think I'm the only one who wants you dead?
Your brothers all want you dead.
"Impossible, my brother would never do that. I told them long ago. I don't need anything from the family."
I don't want anything.
Yaka felt bad after hearing this.
He has five older brothers and is the youngest in the family. His brothers took care of him when he was little.
Even his five older brothers had protected him, and his eldest brother almost lost his life because of him.
His third brother had a scar on his face because of him, and his fourth brother became lame because of him.
He had hoped that he and his brothers would be close and that they would never follow in their father's footsteps.
His brothers had always doted on him, and he absolutely did not believe that his brothers would want to kill him from behind.
"Will they believe you if you tell them?"
Trust between people has long since vanished.
Your brothers were already furious when the old man wanted you to be the Stone King.
They worked so hard for so many years, managing the mines for so many years, only to end up benefiting others.
Who do you think would be happy?
Today it's just me. Even if you can handle me, countless hidden assassins are waiting for you. You'd better watch yourself.
Ouyang Zhenyu gripped Yaka's hand tightly.
"Don't believe him, your brothers. They never intended to harm you; he's just making a last-ditch effort to sow discord."
I can assure you that your brothers would sacrifice themselves for you.
Ouyang Zhenyu dared to make such a confident guarantee because he saw the future of his five older brothers while holding Yaka's hand.
At the jade trade fair, people from Mengxi led a group to rob their "King of Stones".
In their attempt to reclaim the Stone King, the five older brothers fell into a trap set by Mengxi and others, losing all five mines at the stone gambling market.
The five older brothers jumped off the roof and all committed suicide.
The old man suffered a heart attack and passed away overnight.
Yaka grew up overnight.
Not only did his family fall apart and his family members die, but he also narrowly escaped death from Mengxi's pursuit.
If it weren't for holding Yaka's hand and seeing the future, Ouyang Zhenyu would have always thought that this kid was just a simple foodie.
But seeing all this, he realized that Yaka would have extremely bad luck in the next month.
Extreme misfortune, falling into the abyss, and then being reborn from the ashes.
If Ouyang Zhenyu hadn't appeared, Yaka's life would have ended tonight!
Then Yaka's fate will change.
In a fit of rage to avenge his grandson, the old man killed all of Ninth Master's men.
Ninth Master led everyone in a fierce battle with the old man, while Mengxi and his men sat on the sidelines reaping the benefits.
In the end, Ninth Master died at the hands of the old man, and the old man and Yaka's five brothers were also riddled with wounds.
In the end, it was Yaka's eldest brother and father who were left to support their family business.
However, under Mengxi's sniping, the entire jade trading fair laid the foundation for Mengxi to become the king of stones.
Using this opportunity, the armed forces of the Mengxi United Army and the local government directly seized the mining rights of five mines.
In other words, Yaka's family eventually perished.
Ouyang Zhenyu couldn't help but pat Yaka on the shoulder. What kind of life does this kid have?
That's just bad luck.
It's so dangerous that anyone who touches it will die.
Yaka looked up at Ouyang Zhenyu and asked excitedly,
"Really? Can you really guarantee that?"
“I knew my brothers weren’t like that. They’ve been so good to me since I was little. They saved my life, how could they possibly kill me?”
Ouyang Zhenyu sighed. This kid is still the same chubby boy.
Do you really think the chubby boy will take what I say seriously?
The finishing touches are proceeding smoothly.
The next day at dawn, on the fifth day of the lunar new year, he came to find Ouyang Zhenyu.
"Xiao Jiang, we've already bought our things at the convenience store. They have a very complete selection, and the prices aren't too expensive."
We managed to buy food, salt, and even a lot of medicine. Medicines we couldn't find in our small town were available here.
It means you've spent all your money.
Let's go now and say goodbye to Yaka.
I don't think this place is a good place.
"Yaka will have a lot more trouble ahead of her, and staying here and getting involved in this mess will do us no good."
