"Have you killed him yet?" a male voice asked quietly.
The man who spoke these words was Xuan Yang, current patriarch of the Xuan family. He was a vile man, able to abandon his morality completely in order to achieve what he wants.

"...Why haven't you? He's just a kid. Shouldn't be too hard for someone of your level, no?" Xuan Yang asked impatiently, evidently annoyed.
