Heroic Death System

Chapter 88 (Arc 8)

Covenantor (XI)

Previously, Yue Cheng had simply assumed that Yue Ze was Lu Xiufan’s lover. He’d scoffed when he’d heard the rumor that he’d gifted his covenantor son to Lu Xiufan, he never believed in using his son in exchange for the family’s benefit. If Yue Ze wanted to be with Lu Xiufan, that was his own decision. However, he never thought that Yue Ze was actually Lu Xiufan’s servant, hired from the covenantor distribution center.

After all, how could he not know what kind of place that covenantor distribution center was? The great Yue Family head’s son, once considered the family heir, had shockingly been treated as an object and been publicly up for sale.

If Shang Ke hadn’t been hired by Lu Xiufan, it was unthinkable what type of treatment his own son would have had to endure. And after he’d been humiliated and abused, the family would have had to disown him in order to maintain their reputation, leaving him to fend for himself.

Yue Cheng’s face burned, his whole body shook.

Shang Ke gazed indifferently at the disturbed Yue Cheng. This person’s mistake did not stop at his indifference of Yue Ze. Even until Yue Ze’s death, Yue Cheng never found out that the only reason the eldest son he’d been most proud of became a covenantor, and later killed, was because of his wife and other son.

However, Shang Ke didn’t plan to reveal this fact for the time being; he wanted to wait and let the whole Yue Family know just how much injustice Yue Ze had endured.

Shang Ke felt someone hold his hand; turning his head, he saw Lu Xiufan’s grave expression. Lu Xiufan glared at Yue Cheng, coldly saying, “Yue Cheng, understand this, from today onwards Little Ze will have nothing more to do with Yue Family.”

Yue Cheng promptly replied, “No, Yue Ze is a member of Yue Family, this will never change.”

Lu Xiufan replied frostily, “Once he took on the name ‘Shang Ze’ and became mine, Yue Family lost all claims to him. The reason why I brought him here today was in fact to break off your kinship.”

He had originally wanted to give Yue Cheng a chance to make amends, he was Little Ze’s father after all. If possible, he hoped Little Ze would be able to receive a sliver of care and comfort from his family. However, this man merely hurt Little Ze again. A covenantor might not have the full emotional capacity of a regular person, but he still has memories of what he sees and hears. Today’s meeting, other than establishing Yue Cheng’s indifference towards Little Ze and partiality for the other son, had accomplished little else.

Lu Xiufan pulled up Yue Ze, turned, and walked out the door.

“Wait, Your Excellency, please give me some time; I promise that I will seek justice for Little Ze.” Yue Cheng shouted after them agitatedly.

“Let’s talk again when you really follow through on that.” Lu Xiufan left without looking back.

Once they returned to the car, Lu Xiufan asked Shang Ke, “I’m off today; is there anything you’d like to do?”

Shang Ke was silent for a moment, before uttering just one word, “Swimming.”

Thus, the two went to the swimming pool and spent the whole afternoon synchronising swimming.
