"You have never planned to kill me‽" He Bin pressed his pistol deeper into He Lan Chang's temple and hissed, "He Lan Chang, do you really think I am an idiot? Even at a time like this, you can still lie without batting an eye and believe that I will buy into your nonsense‽"
The thick-skinned He Lan Chang continued, "But I really did not want to kill you, it was just a way of speech, an exaggeration. You are my son, my flesh and blood, how could I order you killed? Son, put the gun down, we should be working together to face this woman and not each other! We are kin after all."
"So, this is how Old Master He Lan treats his own kin, with such cruelty," Xinghe commented with a smirk.
