Alchemy Master

Chapter 159, Yes, Because of Him

Translator: Silavin

Qin Haomin was very clear about the identity of this man in luxurious clothing. His already pale face turned even whiter.

If it was not for the guards supporting him, he would have almost collapsed to the ground.

The man in luxurious clothing was right, he was indeed a favourite in front of the current King, wielding great power within the dynasty.

Even the Patriarchs of First Tier Families in the Royal City had to treat him with respect. How could a small Qin Family survive after offending him?!

“Father, that was too foolish of you!” Qin Haomin cried out, showing none of the composure expected of a Family Patriarch.

“Shut up!” If he had not shouted, it would have been fine, but his shout made Qin Baihe even angrier. [In this world, are there any truly noble people? Everyone is driven by profit in one way or another. Without benefits, how could someone of that status come to our Qin Family?]

“Father, did something happen?” After being helped up, Qin Haoran asked in confusion.

It seems like the Qin Family was in some kind of dilemma.

Although his Older Brother and Nephew were cold towards him, even wanting to drive him away, after seeing his Old Father, Qin Haoran felt that if the Qin Family was in trouble, he should help resolve it.

“Go call Yichen to come pay respects to his Grandfather!” As if having decided something, Qin Haoran ordered Li Qun beside him.

“Yes!” Li Qun responded and left without another word.

“Who are you calling?” Qin Baihe seemed not to have heard clearly.

“Your Grandson.”

Qin Haoran answered.

“Oh?” Qin Baihe did not think much of it, just glanced at Du Binglan behind him and said with some emotion, “Come to think of it, my little Grandson should be almost seventeen now, right?”

He remembered that Du Binglan was already pregnant back then.

“Yes!” In front of his Old Father, Qin Haoran was respectful.

*Hmph!* Meanwhile, Qin Haomin on the other side snorted coldly, thinking Qin Haoran had come back to compete with him for the position of Patriarch of the Qin Family.

However, after being glared at by Qin Baihe, he opened his mouth sheepishly but dared not do too much in front of his Father.

“Old Patriarch, that person just now, his cultivation is above mine.” The man holding the knife reminded Qin Baihe.

“Really?” Qin Baihe initially responded casually, but the next moment, he looked at the man holding the knife in shock, suddenly confused. “You mean, the person Haoran brought in just now has cultivation above the first level of Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm?”

Finally, this sentence made Qin Haomin start to take his Second Brother seriously.

[Could it be that Second Brother has done even better after being expelled from the Family!?] Qin Haomin’s face was full of doubt.

Although his Second Brother was clever, his Martial Arts talent was not as good as his own.

“Yes”

After getting confirmation from the man holding the knife, Qin Baihe looked at Qin Haoran, his mouth opened and closed, and after a while, he asked, “Haoran, that person is…?”

“That’s one of your little Grandson’s subordinates.” Mentioning his Son, Qin Haoran’s face was full of pride, and he comforted his Old Father, “Father, don’t worry. Your Grandson is much more promising than your Son.”

“Promising?” Qin Baihe wanted to ask more, but the sound of the main gate breaking came from the entrance.

Then came a series of curses.

“Tell Qin Haomin and that old fool to come out here to die!”

It was the voice of the man in luxurious clothing.

Hearing this voice, Qin Haomin’s legs went weak, and he fell down, repeatedly saying. “It’s over, it’s over, the Qin Family is finished…”

But Qin Haoran accompanied his Old Father out of the hall.

On the other side, Qin Yichen had just returned from giving some guidance to Lin Miaohan and the other two women at the Royal City Alchemy Guild. He had not even sat down when Li Qun arrived.

“You say my Father wants me to go pay respects to my Grandfather?” Qin Yichen’s tone revealed confusion.

The last time he asked, neither his Father nor Mother would say a word to him about it.

“Yes!” Li Qun briefly explained the situation at the Qin Family Residence.

“Father is in danger!?” Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed, flashing with a frightening killing intent. He stepped on the wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“So fast… no wonder even someone like Du Junxiong was no match for him…” Li Qun was completely taken aback. Soon, after reacting, he too rushed towards the Qin Family Residence.

At the entrance of the Qin Family Residence, a crowd had gathered.

Most were pointing and commenting from the sidelines.

“This Qin Haomin is just daydreaming, actually believing there’s such a thing as free lunch falling from the sky.”

“Why would someone with no relation care about you?”

“Now, he’s dragged his whole Family down…”

Discussions arose. It seemed they knew something about this matter.

It appeared that Qin Haomin was quite vain, and news of this matter was deliberately spread by him.

Now, it has become a joke in people’s mouths and a disaster for the Qin Family.

Inside, the man in luxurious clothing was still cursing.

Beside him was a team of armoured guards.

These were elite troops of the Royal City. The fact that he could mobilise them showed his status.

With these elite troops, the man in luxurious clothing naturally had confidence.

“Old fool, are you going to hand over the land deed or not!?” The man in luxurious clothing pointed at Qin Baihe’s nose and cursed, spit flying all about.

“Absolutely not!” Qin Baihe trembled with anger and roared, “Even if I were to give it to the Heavenly Unicorn Business Alliance for free, I would never give it to someone like you!”

The Old Master’s hot temper had not changed even at this point.

“Old fool, do you think this great one does not dare to kill you!?”

The man in luxurious clothing threatened in a chilling tone, then ordered the elite troops behind him. “Come out and smash it, smash everything!”

“You dare!?” Qin Haoran naturally could not stand by and watch them destroy the Qin Family.

“Who do you think you are?” The man in luxurious clothing did not take him seriously at all and continued, “Smash. Smash everything until this old fool hands over the land deed!”

He was planning to rob them openly now!

“You will regret your actions today!” Watching those elite troops smash doors, windows, and flowerbeds, Qin Haoran clenched his fists.

He felt he should have listened to his Son’s advice and put more effort into practising Martial Arts. Otherwise, in situations like this, he was truly helpless.

“You? Make this great one regret it? Who do you think you are!?” The man in luxurious clothing laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. His guards and elite troops laughed along with him.

“Is that so!?” A cold voice sounded. Then, a figure flashed at the entrance, and a young man appeared in front of Qin Haoran.

Seeing this young man, Qin Haoran immediately relaxed.

The newcomer was, of course, Qin Yichen!

“Father, are you alright?” Qin Yichen anxiously asked.

His parents were absolutely the most important people to him in this world. He absolutely did not want to experience the pain of losing his loved ones again.
