Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 251 The Death of the Patriarch

"But the patriarch wouldn't listen to me, and I had no choice but to accept it. But now things are much better."

"Anyway, the rest is right here. I won't say anything else, but at least we can get all these things done."

"In short, I don't think Dong Ming's arrival this time is anything good," Bai Yuezhan said directly.

Upon hearing Bai Yuezhan's words, Xu Yao then said, "Oh no, this time Dong Ming came to speak to the family head."

"They said there were Digimon in a certain place. When I heard that before, I thought there was something wrong with it, so I didn't do anything about it."

"But now that you've said it, it seems like I'm starting to feel like there's something wrong with it," Xu Yao said.

Bai Yuezhan then said, "Hmph, Dong Ming has always liked to bewitch the family head; this has happened several times now."

"Hopefully nothing bad will happen this time."

At this moment, Xu Yao said directly, "Don't worry too much. I was very worried before, so I put everything else aside."

"Then they sent people to secretly protect the head of the family, so you don't need to worry too much."

Hearing Xu Yao's words, Bai Yuezhan nodded in relief: "With you saying that, I feel at ease."

"To be honest, I really don't know why the patriarch trusts this guy so much."

"This guy is definitely not a good person. I don't believe a word he says."

“It’s just that this guy is really good at talking, which makes the patriarch completely distrust us,” Bai Yuezhan said.

Although Xu Yao didn't know what to say, since he had arranged for people to protect the family head, he naturally had nothing to worry about.

However, Xu Yao really didn't expect that this would be the end of the story. In short, if Xu Yao had known things would turn out this way...

Then I'll have to go there myself.

It turned out that Xu Yao had also received news that night that the assassins' guild was not providing adequate protection.

The head of the Bai family is dead.

Upon hearing this news, Xu Yao was completely dumbfounded, and the subordinate of this "recycling guy" was also stunned after saying this.

He died from bleeding himself out, which shows how brutal the battle was.

Bai Yuezhan fainted from crying, while Xu Yao remained rooted to the spot. The events of today seemed to possess some kind of magic.

Putting everything else aside, Xu Yao honestly never expected that the head of the Bai family would die so quickly.

This was definitely done by Dong Ming. Even if it wasn't Dong Ming who did it, he is still involved.

So there's not much to say about many things; that's just how things are now. As for other things...

So, needless to say, that's just how things are. As for other things, there's no need to waste time on them.

Now that things have come to this, Xu Yao naturally knows that this is not the time to think about anything else, since things have already reached this point.

What I need to do is to handle things as quickly as possible, or even to appease Bai Yuezhan.

If Bai Yuezhan were to encounter any further problems now, then this matter would be in serious trouble.

So Xu Yao quickly had someone take Bai Yuezhan to his room, since that was Bai Yuezhan's current condition.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the Bai family patriarch is dead.

So Bai Yuezhan is the backbone of the entire Bai family. If something happens to Bai Yuezhan, then it can be said that this whole affair is a disaster.

Even if the Bai family is truly doomed, the best course of action is to focus on taking care of Bai Yuezhan first.

As for other things, that's not my problem.

The next day, Bai Yuezhan woke up, and the body of the Bai family patriarch was brought back.

Upon seeing the patriarch's corpse, Bai Yuezhan was immediately overcome with grief. After all, he was his patriarch, and there was nothing more to say about it.

Anyway, since it's already happened, we just need to resolve this issue.

Bai Yuezhan was also sobbing uncontrollably, while Dong Ming, standing to the side, was also crying and saying, "It's all my fault."

'It's all my fault, Bai Yuezhan, just kill me! If it weren't for me asking the clan head to come with me on this treasure hunt...'

"It's absolutely impossible for such a problem to have occurred. It's all my fault, so please punish me now."

Seeing Dong Ming like this, Xu Yao felt contempt for him, knowing that Dong Ming was definitely involved in this matter.

Xu Yao himself knew that the news coming from the Assassin's Guild didn't seem to have any direct connection to Dong Ming.

Therefore, Xu Yao couldn't lash out, but seeing Dong Ming like this, Xu Yao was naturally very unhappy.

After all, you, Dong Ming, called people out, and they went out alive, but came back dead.

Do you know about this yourself? If something really happens now, then of course it goes without saying.

Anyway, here's the problem. There are a lot of things needed, but this is the situation we're in.

Of course, we still have to see how things go. After all, there's no other way. If we don't do something about it...

Then there may really be no other way.

Xu Yaocai stood aside without saying a word.

Upon hearing Dong Ming's words, Bai Yuezhan angrily retorted, "If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have come to this."

“The head of the family himself has no problems. Why do you insist on coming to him to look for something? Baby, we haven’t found the baby yet.”

“But you’ve lost your life. You must pay for it with your life, the head of the Bai family,” Bai Yuezhan said.

At this moment, Dong Mingcai said, "Bai Yuezhan, I know you are grieving, but I didn't want this to happen either."

"Now that it has happened, what should we do? What if it were someone else?"

"Then there's no need to say anything. The matter is as it is, and that's all that needs to be done."

"Bai Yuezhan, I know you're upset, but this time I really didn't know."

Bai Yuezhan retorted angrily, "Do you think I'll believe you just because you're trying to shirk responsibility like this?"

"The reason why my Bai family head will die this time is because of you, whether it's you or my family head."

"Dong Ming, you must pay for my master's life! Give me your life!" Bai Yuezhan roared, drawing his longsword.

Seeing Bai Yuezhan make a move, Dong Ming then said, "Bai Yuezhan, this matter really has nothing to do with me."
