Elder Zhao had initially planned on taking advantage of Master Xia's momentary lapse of attention on him to slip away until he suddenly heard the latter's voice and instantly paused in his footsteps. His elderly face turned very pale. In his panic, his forehead became drenched with cold sweat.
"Master, I was only doing this in consideration of the Xia Family. Nothing more."
He fiercely gritted his teeth and forcibly swallowed the information that he wanted to convey to Xia Qi. No matter the circumstances, he was greatly indebted to the Second Master Xia, and he cannot reveal his intentions.
"Were your intentions truly in consideration of the Xia Family, or are you simply using our name to rain tyrannical abuse? I reckon you of all people should be most clear on this! Elder Zhao, such a higher-up like you can no longer stay with the Xia Family. From now on, you are no longer a part of the Xia Family!"
Hong!
