Jiang Xinghai stared intently at Ji Xiao, suppressing his inner rage and impulses. He wanted to hear what the man would say next.
Ji Qingya and Jiang Wendong also waited with grave expressions for Ji Xiao to continue.
"I admit, my past actions were indeed too extreme."
Ji Xiao's voice was low and powerful. "But it was all for the survival and development of the family. You may not know this, but the legacy of the Celestial Essence Star Sect is far more important than you can imagine. The entire future of the Ji Family depends on it."
"And for that, you could disregard the bonds of blood? Order several families in Ji City to place my parents under house arrest, and then tie them to stones and throw them into the sea? How could you do something so monstrous?" Jiang Xinghai finally lost his composure, his voice booming like thunder.
The atmosphere instantly grew heavy.
