Capítulo 901: Chapter 252 Give Me Back What You Took_1
"Ancestor, are you truly human?"
The Duchess looked at Dai Yueheng in astonishment, her expression filled with confusion.
When the ancestor left, he certainly wasn't like this.
Dai Yueheng was clearly possessed by the ancestral spirit.
She couldn't forget that demeanor, it definitely wasn't something Dai Yueheng could possess.
"Mother, I am not the ancestor, I am just myself, Dai Yueheng."
Dai Yueheng's gaze fell on the Duchess's face.
But he noticed the Duchess was incessantly winking at him.
It was as if she was saying, even if you are not the ancestor, you must pretend to be the ancestor.
Dai Yueheng wasn't foolish, he instantly understood the meaning behind the Duchess's words.
But just as he was about to say something, discordant voices were already rising from behind the crowd.
"You just said he is the White Tiger Clan's ancestor Dai Mubai?
I don't see it."
That was a Titled Douluo, who couldn't help but mutter.
But he spoke loudly enough that everyone present could hear what he was saying.
The Duchess's face turned unsightly in an instant.
"Explain, what exactly is going on here?"
Xu Jiawei wore a gloomy expression.
He also felt deceived.
He now strongly suspected that Dai Yueheng and the Duchess were putting on a play, toying with everyone in the palm of their hands.
"Your Majesty, please, listen to my explanation..."
Dai Yueheng's mind raced, understanding instantly what had happened.
He hurriedly began to explain.
Otherwise, the misunderstanding could grow worse, which would be extremely unfavorable for them.
"Speak."
Xu Jiawei tried to remain calm.
But he had made up his mind as well.
If they couldn't provide a reasonable explanation, he would make sure this mother and son pair paid dearly.
"In fact, my Dai family's ancestor indeed descended.
As Mother has probably already told you.
That ancestor is the most outstanding genius of our White Tiger Clan, the first of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
He was White Tiger Douluo Dai Mubai, who once followed Sea God Tang San to overthrow the rule of the Martial Soul Hall.
However, more than ten thousand years ago, the ancestor White Tiger Douluo had inherited the mantle of the War God and ascended to the Divine Realm, becoming a supreme deity.
Today, he returned to Soul Land, carrying an important mission."
Dai Yueheng elaborated on what he knew.
"But the ancestor's power is too great; if he truly descended to Soul Land, the whole continent might collapse.
Therefore, only an incarnation of the ancestor descended. And as the bearer of the White Tiger Martial Soul and the inheritor of the Dai family's bloodline, I am naturally the best vessel.
That's why Mother was calling me the ancestor previously.
This isn't a scheme or deception, but the truth."
After listening to Dai Yueheng's narration, the crowd nodded in agreement.
That's right.
It's possible.
It logically explains the anomalies that happened before.
"I see..."
Xu Jiawei's face showed a flash of realization, then he asked, "Then, would it be convenient now to ask for the Dai family's ancestor to make an appearance, so that we too may admire the venerable presence of his greatness?"
As his words fell, the rest of the crowd also showed hopeful expressions.
A true god from the Divine Realm.
Even just an incarnation would do.
Being able to meet him, one could boast about it for a lifetime over drinks with friends.
However.
Dai Yueheng's face showed a hint of difficulty.
"What's the matter?"
Xu Jiawei noticed the anomaly.
"Your Majesty, I am truly sorry, but the condition of our ancestor is not very good right now, and he cannot come out to meet you for the time being."
"???"
Xu Jiawei's eyes were filled with skepticism.
"I suspect you are up to something, but I have no evidence."
"I'm not deceiving you."
Dai Yueheng shrugged helplessly.
"I can no longer contact our ancestor.
Just now, it seemed like he controlled my body to go to a place and do something, which was extremely exhausting.
After returning, he has fallen into a deep sleep.
No matter how I call out, I don't get any response."
Dai Yueheng knew that pretending to be mysterious was definitely not going to work at this time.
He had to stick to the facts.
No response at all? Hearing this, the Duchess's face turned extremely pale in an instant.
A bad premonition rose in her heart.
Could it be that the ancestor she considered her lifesaver had just disappeared like this?
But what about the money I've collected?
"Such a thing happened..."
Xu Jiawei's gaze flickered, as if he was pondering something.
The Titled Douluo-level experts behind him also lowered their eyes, quietly speculating.
They had just witnessed His Majesty put forth such a substantial amount of capital, hoping for the ancestor of the White Tiger Clan to help quell the chaos, but now the ancestor had disappeared without a trace. What would His Majesty do next?
At the very least, shouldn't he get the money back?
Then a hint of schadenfreude flashed across their faces.
Hehehe.
Fortune turns like a wheel, and it has turned too quickly.
Just now, they were so arrogant. Now, with no one to back them up, would they still act high and mighty with us?
Making a bunch of Titled Douluo-level experts wait outside and letting His Majesty the Emperor come in by himself.
Thinking about it, the Duchess indeed acted quite unreasonably.
Such is the pride of small-minded people.
But this time, how will you wrap things up?
At the same time, everyone quietly muttered that one shouldn't act too much like the Duchess.
Lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own feet.
There is much sense in the saying, 'Leave a margin in everything, so that we may meet again with ease in the future.'
"Since that's the case, then we shouldn't disturb the ancestor any further."
After a moment of silence, Xu Jiawei slowly said.
Then he shifted his gaze to the Duchess, "Madam, I think we should just call off the agreement we had earlier.
To avoid making things difficult for everyone."
"That, I, this, ah..."
The Duchess opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
It was truly too awkward.
But when she collected the money, she was all smiles.
Asking her to give it back now would be more painful than killing her.
"Your Majesty, I feel that there is still a chance for resolution. Our ancestor has only fallen into a deep sleep, not completely disappeared.
Perhaps he is just too tired. After some rest, maybe he will come out.
At that time, our agreement will still stand.
I will definitely speak well of you in front of our ancestor."
The Duchess tried her best to squeeze a smile onto her face as she spoke to Xu Jiawei.
Now the status of the Duchy Residence has fallen drastically, and all its businesses have been greatly affected.
A few tens of millions of golden soul coins is truly not a small sum.
The Duchy Residence does not know how many years it would take to earn that much money.
She really couldn't bear to let it go.
"Hmph, I think there's no need for you to say this. I paid, you do the work; we all understand it implicitly.
I can accept that.
But now, I can only pay without getting any return, and that's a losing deal."
Xu Jiawei said indifferently.
The Duchess quickly tried to defend herself: "Your Majesty, it's not like that..."
