"Enough!" Old Master Bai stepped inside the room and glared at Fu Wan. If not for the fact that it wouldn’t be right for him as the grandfather-in-law, he would have sent the bodyguards out as well. But he was worried that a woman like Fu Wan would certainly make a fuss, saying that he bullied her.
So he might as well let the bodyguards stay.
Seeing the old master of the Bai family enter, the bodyguards all lowered their heads at once. They didn’t want to stay in the room, but at the same time, they dared not leave without the command from Old Master Bai, something that he didn’t give them. Staring at Fu Wan, Old Master Bai said to her, "Do you think that this is your own home where you can act as you please? Miss Bai is right. She is giving you a place to stay, and thats out of the goodness of her heart. If you go outside, no one would give you a plain packet of bread, much less a place to stay."
"Stop making a fuss like you are the one who is getting wronged. Do you still think that we are living in a world as before? You’d better remember how you climbed up the ranks and stop making trouble. If not, I can also kick you out after the child is born!"
After he finished speaking, Old Master Bai turned around and walked out of the room without caring about the expression on Fu Wan’s face. Honestly, he had had enough of her.
As he walked out of the room, Fu Wan lost her temper with the bodyguards as well. She started hitting and screaming at them, since she was not allowed to break things, she would take her anger out on others. The bodyguards stayed quiet, but they already started to have their thoughts.
After all, even if they appeared tolerant on the surface, the world was no longer the same. Who would stay loyal to the Bai family when they had a better option!?
Bai Meiyue knew nothing about this small incident. She was waiting for Fox to come and hand over the rest of the crystal nuclei that he promised for the other survivors and take his ancestor away. But the man never returned, nor did Bai Feng. Instead, what arrived was a large crowd of survivors.
They arrived in such a large number that they scared Bai Meiyue, whose eyes widened to the point that they could have replaced the saucers in the mansion. When she arrived at the gates, she carefully questioned each and every survivor whom she could find. Turned out that the situation at the safe base had gotten even more out of control.
Ever since Bai Feng returned to the safe base, he had been trying to recruit more and more ability users after he carefully rescued their families from Yu Miaomiao’s grasp. Somehow, he ended up collecting six hundred and fifty-eight ability users.
Fox was the same; he used the favour that he now owed the ability users whose families he saved and asked them to follow him in exchange for him taking care of their families in these tough times. The ability users were worried that they would lose their families in the hands of the sly fox and followed him wholeheartedly.
