*POV: Hu BaiShe*
"Sorry, but I'll take the liberty of eliminating counterproductive assassins."
' I should've seen this coming. Has that bastard already made it into the Sage Kingdom?'
Hu Fei smirked, his expression a mix of arrogance and sadistic pleasure.
I stared back, saying nothing.
He was an orphan, taken in solely for his talent. In an ancestral family like ours, a young master like me, with an uncertain position, inspired nothing but contempt.
A direct heir, a lecherous waste—he didn't even see me as a threat.
But he knew his place. He made no mistakes. He never showed aversion or hostility. He knew the terror the Matriarch could inspire.
Hu Fei wasn't as foolish as Hu Guowei. He used his intellect. He didn't rely on brute force alone; he employed schemes.
"It's not about you, BaiShe. I have many targets..."
He watched me, waiting for a reaction. I kept my expression unchanged.
"After you, obviously, it'll be that idiot Guowei..."
