Chapter 360 Investigating the Kang Family

Noticing the faint bruise under Chen Man’s eyelids because she hadn’t had a good rest, Huo Xuan felt his heart ache. He hugged Chen Man and said, “Mom, you’ve worked hard taking care of Xiao Zhu the entire night. Leave this to me. Hurry up and rest.”

Chen Man yawned and agreed.

Through the night of not having a good rest, she deeply realized that her body had indeed aged. It was really getting worse by the day. However, after last night’s incident and being on tenterhooks and worried about Mo Zhu for so long, it was normal for her to be exhausted.

After Chen Man left, only Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu were left in the room.

After quietly guarding Mo Zhu for half an hour, Mo Wu suddenly knocked on the door lightly and said, “Young Master, are you inside? I have something urgent to report.”

Huo Xuan was originally looking at Mo Zhu’s sleeping face in a daze. This voice instantly pulled his thoughts back to reality. He pinched the space between his eyebrows without batting an eyelid and replied indifferently, “Come in.”

After receiving Young Master’s permission, Mo Wu pushed the door open gently and walked in.

Mo Wu took two steps forward and handed a thick stack of documents to Huo Xuan. He frowned slightly and reported in a low voice, “Young Master, after the battle with the Kang family last night, no one from the Dark Forces survived.”

After saying this, Mo Jiu raised his hand and pointed at the first stack of documents. He added, “The strange thing is, according to our autopsy, there are no obvious fatal wounds on these people’s bodies. All of them died from heart failure.”

After a pause, he continued in confusion, “These people suddenly showed symptoms of heart failure. Our forensic doctor thinks that it might have been caused by a large force which resulted in severe heart injury.

When Huo Xuan heard this, he recalled the mysterious black-robed youth who had suddenly appeared in the Kang family last night. He nodded in agreement and replied, “Oh okay, do you have other news and speculations? Continue with your reporting.”

Mo Wu followed Huo Xuan’s words and thought about it. A few seconds later, he patted his head and said, “Young Master, in that case, it’s really strange. Based on the x-rays during the autopsy, we would be able to tell that if their hearts have been injured due to a huge force as the ribs outside the heart of the corpse should have had signs of breaking or shattering. However, the ribs of everyone from the Dark Forces who died at the Kang family were all intact.”

“It can only mean that…”

Before he could finish, Huo Xuan suddenly said what Mo Wu wanted to say as if he had thought of something. “It can only mean that the opponent is powerful. A casual strike of his can hit the enemy’s heart. Besides that, with his special strength, he can accurately determine the gap between the ribs and strike the heart!”

Upon hearing Huo Xuan’s words, Mo Wu’s expression darkened. He immediately turned pale with fright and said anxiously, “Young Master, is there really such an expert in the world? If that’s the case, how are we going to defend against such a powerful opponent in the future?”

Yesterday, when the black-robed youth was fighting with the Dark Forces, Mo Wu happened to have been sent out of the Kang family by Huo Tao to mobilize the people from the Huo family. Therefore, he did not see the black-robed youth fight with his own eyes, nor did he see the deaths of the Dark Forces. That was why he asked this question in disbelief.

Thinking of the black-robed youth’s terrifying technique and strength yesterday, Huo Xuan frowned slightly and replied in a low voice, “That’s right. Last night, such a powerful figure did appear in the Kang family!”

After saying this, he lowered his eyes, gently rubbed his palms, and instructed Mo Wu, “By the way, ask our people to go to the Love Pavilion and personally place the order in Cheng Yi’s hands in the Huo family’s name. Tell him that we want Almighty K to help us investigate the expert behind the Kang family!”

Mo Wu frowned and asked curiously, “Young Master, if we say it bluntly, won’t the Love Pavilion know about what happened last night?”

Huo Xuan raised his hand and knocked on the wooden bedside table as if nothing had happened. He raised his eyebrows indifferently and said, “It’s alright. With the Love Pavilion’s abilities, it’s difficult to hide the huge commotion the Kang family caused last night from them. Invite Almighty K to go and find out who exactly is backing the Kang family!”
