Duke White Tiger Dai Hao was completely stunned by the scene before him.
His gaze swept across the three figures that had suddenly appeared, his pupils slightly contracting.
How did his wife become in such a sorry state?
Her clothes were disheveled and her hair bun scattered, completely lacking the grace and luxury of the former White Tiger Duke's wife.
Then he looked at the other two people lying on the platform; those two were his sons.
Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin.
One was his eldest son, upon whom he placed high expectations. He had carefully cultivated him since childhood and tilted resources toward him. Compared to the cultivation of Dai Huabin, he valued this son more, expecting him to inherit the legacy of the White Tiger Duke.
But now, what on earth had happened to the two of them, that one was missing an arm and the other a leg, and both of them had turned into good-for-nothings?
For a Spirit Master, the physical body was also extremely important. Nowadays, they could not achieve limb Rebirth, so once a loss occurred, their overall strength would be damaged.
The future of the White Tiger Duke naturally could not be handed over to a disabled person to inherit. Now Duke White Tiger Dai Hao's choices suddenly decreased by two.
Duke White Tiger Dai Hao still felt quite distressed for Dai Yueheng. He had spent so much energy and resources to cultivate Dai Yueheng, only to exchange it for such a result in the end.
Of course, right now, these matters were no longer important. What needed to be troubled over now was why they appeared before him, appearing before him at this point in time.
You must know that this was the competition stage. Although he hadn't started fighting yet, logically speaking, shouldn't they go up one by one?
Besides, even if multiple people could come up, it shouldn't be that his whole family came up. Furthermore, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin were both unconscious; coming over definitely wasn't for support, right?
Was this asking him to make a statement about something?
Duke White Tiger Dai Hao fell silent. His gaze swept back and forth over those three figures, his brows tightly locked, and then he maintained his silence.
Right at this moment, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin, who were lying on the ground, both woke up.
Originally, given the two's injuries, they wouldn't easily wake up, but under the influence of some special power, the two of them still opened their eyes.
As soon as Dai Yueheng opened his eyes, he saw Huo Yuhao standing not far away.
As the saying goes, enemies meeting one another are filled with extra hatred.
Although his broken leg had no direct relationship with Huo Yuhao, everything Huo Yuhao had done to him, he would never forget in this lifetime.
Then he noticed Duke White Tiger Dai Hao standing not far away and hurriedly shouted.
"Father! Father! You must avenge me!"
Dai Yueheng's voice was hoarse, and his tone was filled with hatred. As the legitimate eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, no one had ever dared to bully him like this.
"It's Huo Yuhao... It's that bastard! It's all because of him that I ended up like this! You must kill him for me!"
When he said these words, his tone was full of hatred, and his eyes stared fixedly at Huo Yuhao, as if he couldn't wait to pounce forward and bite off the other party's throat.
Looking at his eldest son's appearance, Duke White Tiger Dai Hao couldn't help but feel a strong surge of disappointment rise in his heart.
He had thought that even if Dai Yueheng was crippled, he could at least maintain a shred of the White Tiger Duke lineage's Qi-bearing, but now what difference did this hysterical appearance have from a common shrew?
Duke White Tiger Dai Hao did not speak, but walked straight up to Dai Yueheng.
Then he raised his hand and directly slapped him across the face.
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of the slap resounded across the entire competition stage.
Dai Yueheng was hit so hard that his head turned to the side, and half of his face instantly swelled up red. His eyes widened into round circles, full of utter disbelief.
He couldn't believe that his father actually hit him. Although since childhood his father's training requirements for him had been quite strict, he had never directly slapped him in the face before—this was about dignity!
Dai Huabin at the side was also stunned. His charred face was full of astonishment, and he was completely clueless about what was happening now.
As for the White Tiger Duke's wife, she instantly exploded.
"Duke White Tiger Dai Hao! Have you lost your mind?!"
Her voice was shrill and desperate.
"Yueheng is your son! He has already broken a leg, and you still hit him? Why are you doing this?!"
Duke White Tiger Dai Hao ignored her shouts, turning around and walking straight up to the White Tiger Duke's wife.
His gaze was icy, carrying an unprecedented chill, and then he also raised his hand.
"Slap!"
Another slap, and the sound could be said to be quite resounding.
The White Tiger Duke's wife was hit so hard that she took two steps back, half of her face swelling high, and a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
She covered her face and was completely dumbfounded.
Duke White Tiger Dai Hao stood there, looking down at her with a tone full of anger—this was the fury he had been suppressing ever since he learned that Huo Yuhao was his son.
"It is you, this vicious woman, who caused the current situation!"
His voice was low and hoarse.
"If it weren't for you, Yuner would not have died, and there wouldn't be a rift between Yuhao and me as father and son."
He stared into the eyes of the White Tiger Duke's wife and pressed her word by word.
"Why did you do that?"
"In my eyes, you both used to be equally important, but you killed Yuner, and even used such vicious methods to deal with the two mother and child. What on earth was your intention?"
"Truly a vicious woman, why is your jealousy so heavy?"
These words were full of emotion, as if all the dissatisfaction that Duke White Tiger Dai Hao had accumulated for many years exploded at this moment.
Hearing these words, the face of the White Tiger Duke's wife instantly turned pale. Her lips trembled, and she was shaking all over with anger.
Then she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Duke White Tiger Dai Hao across the face with the back of her hand.
"Slap!"
Another resounding slap. This slap hit Duke White Tiger Dai Hao on the face, knocking his head to the side.
Everyone watching this scene before them couldn't help but be completely stunned.
The original competition had unexpectedly turned into this kind of plot.
In front of the light screen, all the commoners of the Douluo Continent widened their eyes, watching that couple slap each other on stage, not knowing whether to laugh or sigh for a moment.
Within the Divine Realm, Oscar couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.
"Isn't what Duke White Tiger Dai Hao doing a bit wrong?"
"Shouldn't he first pull people up and apologize? Why did they start fighting instead?"
Hearing these words, Dai Mubai had a dismissive look on his face.
"The problem with this White Tiger Duke's wife is not small either."
"Clearly she must have also seen what happened on the competition stage through the light screen, yet instead of thinking about repenting properly, she is still spouting nonsense here. Is she afraid of living too long?"
Dai Mubai snorted coldly.
"To do such things, a slap is still considered light."
Everyone's gaze continued to fall on that family through the light screen. As for other things they didn't know, but they knew that the White Tiger Duke could be said to have lost face completely. Originally the grand general of the Star Luo Empire, now he actually showed such a performance—it truly made people sigh with emotion.
