The other villas of the Xiao family had all been liquidated by the bank, and now the Xiao family members were homeless, living in rented houses.
This particular villa belonged to Cara Xiao’s private property.
Last time, Olav Xiao had designed to auction off some worthless things, and given Olav Xiao's strength, many wealthy people had spent money to buy some worthless things.
Although Olav Xiao had died, the money had fallen into Cara Xiao's hands.
Although she was just a woman, after Midas Xiao and Olav Xiao's deaths, she became the pillar of the Xiao family. Now, the Xiao family was counting on Cara Xiao, hoping that she could lead the Xiao family to rise again.
Villa, second-floor room.
An old man in his fifties lay on the bed.
A woman in a white dress stood beside him.
The woman was Cara Xiao. Although she was in her thirties, she looked very young and beautiful.
She had a slender figure, delicate features, and a beautiful face. Her long hair flowed over her shoulders, and her slightly transparent dress was full of temptation and charm.
"Brother Zhang, when will you fulfill the promise you made to me?" Cara Xiao looked at the old man lying on the bed, wearing only a pair of shorts.
This man was a big shot who knew many influential figures.
Now that the Xiao family had been liquidated and their assets were frozen, Cara Xiao was trying her best to use all her connections to reclaim some of the family's assets.
Hayden Zhang looked at the seductive and beautiful Cara Xiao and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll definitely do what I promised you. You know, it was Luby Ye who used legitimate channels to bankrupt the Xiao family. I need to arrange things from various aspects."
Cara Xiao walked over and nestled in Hayden Zhang's arms, acting coquettishly, "Brother Zhang, I've given you fifty million before and it's been such a long time. Can you give me an exact time frame?"
"Soon, very soon, it'll be within the next few days," Hayden Zhang said with a smile, but his heart was cold.
This damned woman, now that the Xiao family had fallen, and he had already lost the money she had given him long ago. If it weren't for the money, he couldn't be bothered to deal with this woman who slept with thousands of people.
"Brother Zhang, don't worry. Once I regain the fixed assets of the Xiao family, you will definitely benefit, and from now on, even I will be yours."
Bang!
At this moment, the door was kicked open.
"Who's there?"
Hayden Zhang, who was shocked, quickly got up from the bed.
He watched in fear as the masked man kicked open the door.
He stumbled and fell off the bed, hastily putting on his clothes and stammering, "No, it's not my business, I don't know anything, I'll leave right now."
Having been in the Jiang Zhong for a long time, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the masked man's identity.
This was the same man who had killed Midas Xiao and Olav Xiao.
Cara Xiao, upon seeing Ellison Jiang kick open the door, also trembled in fear.
Ellison Jiang slowly advanced step by step.
Hayden Zhang began to scramble to put on his clothes, ready to escape.
However, a pair of big hands grabbed him and forcibly threw him back onto the bed.
He was so frightened that he curled up into a ball, not daring to say a word, for fear that he would say the wrong thing and provoke this plague god.
"Who are you, and what deep enmity does my Xiao family have with you?" Cara Xiao, who had calmed down after her initial shock, stared at Ellison Jiang closely.
Ellison Jiang walked closer and removed the mask from his face.
"You?" Cara Xiao stared at Ellison Jiang in disbelief. "Ellison Jiang, the son-in-law of the Tang family?"
“Yes,” Ellison Jiang admitted.
“Jiang… Ellison Jiang?”
Cara Xiao suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "You, you're Ellison Jiang, the son of Noah Jiang?"
Ellison Jiang nodded, pulled up a chair, and sat down by the bed. He calmly lit a cigarette.
The spacious room fell into an eerie silence, with only the sound of tobacco burning.
Hayden Zhang was so scared that he cowered on the bed, not daring to say a word.
Cara Xiao's face turned dark and frightening. At this moment, she finally understood who the person behind the downfall of her Xiao family was.
"Ellison Jiang, what do you want?" she asked.
"Heh..." Ellison Jiang laughed.
His laughter was grim and terrifying.
"Cara Xiao, you actually ask me what I want?"
"Because of you, my grandfather was wronged and became the laughingstock of Jiang Zhong."
"Because of you, my father's heart disease relapsed from anger, but you pushed him down from the third floor and claimed it was a suicide."
"Because of you, the four major families of Xiao, Wang, Zhao, and Zhou gathered at the Jiang family, captured over thirty members of the Jiang family, and set a fire that killed over thirty people. And now you ask me what I want?"
At this moment, Ellison Jiang was like a tiger breaking free from its cage, exuding a terrifying aura.
He roared, and his voice made Cara Xiao's eardrums numb, leaving her in a state of panic.
Cara Xiao was scared, utterly terrified.
She was a smart person, and she had suppressed all of these thoughts about Ellison Jiang, who had killed her father, Midas Xiao, and her fourth brother, Olav Xiao. She knew that the current Ellison Jiang was no longer the weak young man he had been ten years ago.
"Ellison... Ellison Jiang, I'm at least your stepmother, you..."
"Smack!"
Ellison Jiang stood up and slapped her.
The force behind this slap was considerable, and Cara Xiao was thrown onto the bed. Her fair face instantly swelled, and her mouth was stained with blood.
Ellison Jiang grabbed her hair, pressed her head onto the bed, and picked up the cigarette in his hand, burning it towards her face.
He didn't show any mercy just because Cara Xiao was a woman.
He still remembered the look of despair in his grandfather's eyes before he died.
He still remembered the scene of his father being pushed off the building.
And he couldn't forget the sight of the Jiang family members being bound and burned alive in a massive fire.
"Ah!"
Cara Xiao let out a painful roar as the burning cigarette touched her skin.
Meanwhile, Hayden Zhang had already been frightened to the point where he had rolled under the bed, huddled in a corner, not daring to make a sound.
"Cara Xiao, when you did everything in your power to get close to my father back then, framing my grandfather, framing my father, and destroying the Jiang family, did you ever think that this day would come?"
"Cara Xiao, if you don't die, the thirty-eight lost souls of the Xiao family won't be able to rest in peace!”
Ellison Jiang shouted one word at a time.
"Ellison Jiang, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. You've already destroyed the Xiao family. Please spare me."
Cara Xiao, at this moment, had lost all her previous grace and elegance. She was like a dog from a fallen family, begging for mercy incessantly.
Ellison Jiang pulled out a switchblade.
Sizzle!
He made a sudden slash across Cara Xiao's face. A horrifying wound appeared on her face, and blood dripped from her neck, staining her pristine white dress.
Cara Xiao's expression contorted in pain, and she couldn't even scream anymore.
"Ten years ago, Camellia Tang risked her life to pull me out of the fire. It was thanks to her that I survived. She is my lifesaver, but your Xiao family tortured her in every possible way."
"The suffering Camellia Tang endured, I will make the Xiao family pay back a hundredfold."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I want you to experience what despair is. I want you to beg for your life, but find that you can't live or die."
Ellison Jiang raised his hand and struck again.
"I was wrong, Ellison Jiang, please let me go." Cara Xiao kept begging.
Ellison Jiang dropped the switchblade and sat down on a chair by the bed, looking at Cara Xiao, whose face was covered in blood and had a terrifying expression.
"Where is the painting Dwelling in the Mount Huayue?"
