Huo Yuhao's words caused Xu Jiujiu's expression to change. Even Dai Hao, suppressing his grief, looked up at Huo Yuhao, his eyes filled with fury and hatred.
Dai Hao vaguely sensed that all of this was likely part of a plan by those people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.
The culprits behind the death of his eldest son, Dai Yueheng, were not only Ma Xiaotao, but also this guy named Huo Yuhao!
Although Dai Hao didn't know what kind of soul skills Huo Yuhao had used to make his two sons kill each other, it was just a hair's breadth away from Dai Huabin being killed by Dai Yueheng!
Now, when faced with the Star Luo Empire's attempt to recruit him, this guy's condition was to have the royal family kill him, the White Tiger Duke? How could Dai Hao not know that he had such a great grudge against him?
Xu Jiujiu glanced at Dai Hao from the corner of her eye, knowing that Huo Yuhao was about to reveal his identity. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to cooperate.
If the people of the Star Luo Empire knew that it was because of the various actions of the White Tiger Duke's Manor that Huo Yuhao, who should have belonged to the Star Luo Empire, was forced to defect to the Sun Moon Empire, then Dai Hao's prestige would also be severely damaged.
At that time, it would become much easier for the royal family to deal with the White Tiger Duke's Manor.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiujiu looked at Dai Hao with a look of shock, and then forced a smile.
"Yuhao, is there some misunderstanding between you and the White Tiger Duke?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled and waved his hand.
"I was just kidding. The person I want to kill the most is Dai Huabin."
Hearing this, Dai Hao's pupils constricted slightly. He immediately set down his eldest son, Dai Yueheng, who had already become a charred corpse, and stood in front of his second son, Dai Huabin.
Although Dai Huabin's kidneys had been taken out by that damned Death God's envoy, Xuanzi had said that he would have Shrek Academy's people search with all their might for the legendary celestial herbs to help Dai Huabin recover.
Since there was such hope, Dai Hao naturally couldn't give up on this son.
Dai Hao knew that the royal family's actions against the White Tiger Duke's Manor had been intensifying recently. Since they were going to uproot everything anyway, if they could take this opportunity to win over Huo Yuhao, then the royal family might actually secretly agree to Huo Yuhao's condition: to kill Dai Huabin!
Dai Hao stared intently at Huo Yuhao across from him and said in a low voice, "Huabin and you shouldn't have any grudges, right? Why are you forcing him like this?"
Huo Yuhao's smile slowly faded, and he said in a calm tone.
"My mother was killed by him. You say there's no hatred between us?"
Dai Huabin immediately shouted upon hearing this.
"You're talking nonsense! I'd never even seen you before the Soul Master Tournament! How could I have killed your mother?"
Dai Huabin was truly a bit flustered now.
He was very afraid of being discarded as a useless pawn, his life used as a bargaining chip to win over Huo Yuhao, so naturally, he wanted to distance himself from Huo Yuhao.
Dai Hao also frowned, saying, "Your Excellency is being a bit unreasonable."
Xu Jiujiu remained silent, not interrupting the exchange between the father and sons.
Huo Yuhao looked deeply at Dai Hao and took out the White Tiger Dagger from his storage soul tool. He looked at Dai Hao calmly and asked, "White Tiger Duke, do you recognize this dagger?"
Dai Hao's gaze hadn't left the dagger since Huo Yuhao took it out. He felt that the dagger was very familiar, but he couldn't recall it immediately.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little heavy.
The audience and the people from the academy who hadn't left were all watching this scene, wanting to know what kind of grudge Huo Yuhao had with the White Tiger Duke.
After a long while, Huo Yuhao finally spoke the name of the dagger.
"This dagger is called the White Tiger Dagger."
"White Tiger Dagger! White Tiger Dagger!"
Dai Hao finally remembered the dagger. He then suddenly recalled that he had casually given the White Tiger Dagger to his personal maid, Huo Yun'er, after a night of drunken passion.
Even Dai Hao himself didn't know what he had been thinking at the time.
However... 'Huo Yun'er... Huo Yuhao... Could his mother have been killed by Huabin?'
Dai Hao considered a possibility. To verify his suspicion, his face instantly filled with anxiety as he looked at Huo Yuhao and loudly questioned him.
"This White Tiger Dagger was given to Yun'er by me. Why is it in your hands! Who exactly are you? What happened to Yun'er?!"
A trace of mockery flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Truly worthy of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire; his acting was indeed top-notch. Unfortunately, how could his disguise possibly escape Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eyes?
However, Huo Yuhao didn't rush to expose him. Instead, he wore an expression of anger as he said, "Huo Yun'er is my mother! As for what happened to her, didn't I just say it? She was killed by your good son!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Hao's face instantly turned pale. He staggered back two steps as if struck by lightning, shaking his head in disbelief. He spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, but just loud enough for Huo Yuhao and those nearby to hear.
"Impossible, this is impossible! How could Yun'er be killed? This can't be true! Dai Huabin! Tell me what happened?"
Dai Hao turned sharply to Dai Huabin, his face twisted in a grimace of rage, clearly enraged by Huo Yun'er's death.
However, to his surprise, Dai Huabin didn't answer. Instead, he glared at Huo Yuhao and roared through gritted teeth, "So you're the bastard! How dare you treat me like this! You deserve to die! I will kill you!"
As the second son of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Huabin had been spoiled by the Duchess since childhood. Because of his powerful talent, he had always had an easy life, both in the White Tiger Duke's Manor and at Shrek Academy, without facing any hardships.
But in this Soul Master Tournament, he was first gutted by the Death God's Envoy, then Huo Yuhao used Mirror Flower, Water Moon to embrace his fiancée, Zhu Lu, right in front of him. Now he learned that Huo Yuhao was the bastard he had always bullied. How could Dai Huabin possibly control his anger and hatred?
Dai Hao's pupils contracted slightly, and he slammed his foot into Dai Huabin's head.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the immense force sent Dai Huabin's body tumbling backward uncontrollably, a howl of agony erupting from his mouth.
Dai Hao was currently furious with his second son, finding him utterly disappointing. How could the boy be so foolish? He still hadn't grasped the situation? How dare he speak like that in front of Huo Yuhao?
And the most crucial thing was, he actually had the audacity to call Huo Yuhao a bastard?
You really aren't afraid of death, are you?
Dai Hao turned, looking at Huo Yuhao with tears streaming down his face. He wept and repented.
"I've been on the border all these years, guarding the Star Luo Empire. I haven't been home once in all that time! I didn't know Yun'er had passed away, nor what you and your mother have been through."
"But please believe me, I will investigate everything thoroughly. I will avenge Yun'er! And I will compensate for the years of absence!"
Huo Yuhao knew what Dai Hao was thinking. Seeing how highly he was regarded in the Sun Moon Empire, Dai Hao naturally wanted to re-establish a relationship with him.
That way, even if he couldn't stay in the Star Luo Empire in the future, at least he'd have a way out.
However, what Huo Yuhao wanted to do was use this opportunity to completely block Dai Hao and the people from the White Tiger Duke's Manor's escape routes! He would leave them with no choice but death!
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly and directly tossed the White Tiger Dagger in front of Dai Hao, his expression blank.
"No need to be so troublesome. Pick up that White Tiger Dagger and kill Dai Huabin and the Duchess. That's your revenge for my mother."
