C1 Return of the Master

Late autumn, Chuzhou.

As the temperature dropped, the autumn wind blew the red and yellow leaves. It brought chills through your bones.

Ding Sheng Hua Garden, Chuzhou Poshy Villa Area.

This area was for people who were wealthy or noble and they all had powerful backgrounds.

From a distance, a black jeep slowly approached the villa and stopped in front of the doorway.

"Dad, bro, I'm home!" Long Wei's eye were cold as he gazed at the villa in front of him through the car window.

The veins in his arms bulged while clenching his hands tightly.

There were three people in the car. Two were in the front had short hair and were solid in built.

The person who spoke sat at the back.

With his cold gaze, a heavy expression, his chiselled face was not angry nor solemn.

However, he emitted an extremely overpowering aura even though he made no movements.

Today, he was attending a late funeral.

The funeral was for his father and brother, who had passed away.

Two months ago, Long Family's most powerful noble, Long Family Old Man, died from a heart attack caused by his son, Long Hwa. Later, Long Hwa committed suicide inexplicably.

All this happened overnight and the Long Family clan disappeared in Chuzhou.

During that time, Long Wei was abroad on a top secret mission and had no contact with the outside world.

Two months later, when Long Wei returned, all he received was such terrible news.

His family was destroyed and lost their lives. He slowly realised this extreme despair made him miserable.

Now that he was in front of his home, Long Wei froze.

"Cough cough …"

The grief in his heart suddenly affected his internal injuries to hurt from the battlefield two months ago, which has not fully healed yet.

"Master, the dead are gone. My condolences for your loss."

Lee Hann, sitting in the driver's seat, said in a respectful and cautious tone.

"That's right, Master. Your health is more important."

Dong Fei, who sat in the passengers, also agreed.

"My big brother was still young and his career was still to soar. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he would never commit suicide. There must be something more to this!"

Long Wei coldly asked, "Dong Fei, the Long Family's investigation I asked you to do, how's it going?"

"Master, we were in a rush to come back and the tragedy to the Long Family happened two months ago. It will take some time to have this investigated."

Dong Fei said, in a low fearful voice.

"Mm, good to know you haven't forgotten. This matter must be thoroughly investigated now that I've returned!"

Long Wei nodded his head, "Wait for me in the car. I am going to pay my respects to my father and elder brother."

"Yes, understood."

Lee Hann and Dong Fei glanced at each other. They unconditionally obeyed and followed the master.

They have heard many legends of the legendary Long Wei.

Long Wei joined the army when he was 18 years old, and fought his way up from an ordinary soldier. He became the youngest military officer at 21 years old. Then at 25years old, he entered the Special Forces Army for further training, and then he was stationed at the Western Realm.

Two months ago was the bloody battle Long Wei who had fought the Conferred God Battle. This made him become the skilled, acute soldier of the army.

Now at twenty eight years old, Long Wei already had a proclaimed reputation, Dominator of the Western Realm!

Long Wei's reputation was very great that it was like a god descending to earth!

To his supporters, Long Wei is their spiritual leader, a living legend and an unbeatable myth!

However, who would have thought the strong noble Long Family would suffer such a tragedy.

Long Wei should be recuperating his injuries from the battlefield in the army abroad. But the moment he received the tragic news, he immediately rushed back without a care for his own health.

Chuzhou would definitely be turned upside down by Long Wei now that he is back.

He opened the car door and stepped out.

Long Wei suddenly stopped walking and looked into the distance of this familiar yet unfamiliar neighborhood.

This place once gave him many good memories but now it has become a sad place.

"Sigh," Long Wei dragged his feet and slowly continued his path.

Many times Long Wei walked on this path without a thought but now, he had to make an effort. It was extremely difficult.

Long Wei found his way home with the memories from when he was young. Then his memories suddenly surged.

The Long Family Villa once stood extravagant in gold and jade, now it was abandoned. It looked tattered that Long Wei didn't know how to react.

The place was deserted and was covered in dead leaves. There was no longer any trace of the glorious appearance, it once gave in the past.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar place, Long Wei's memories slowly flowed out from the bottom of his heart.

"Old man, hurry up and get out of here. You are to leave this place before nightfall otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as Long Wei walked to the front door, he heard an ear piercing shout that came from inside.

The hallway was very dark, there were furniture scattered everywhere on the floor.

An arrogant women yelled rudely, "How many times have you failed to appreciate my kindness? You are no longer able to come to this place. Get lost now and take your things with you or I'll have them burnt."

The old man in his fifties lowered his head. Sadness fill his wrinkled face and he pleaded, "No.... No, you can't burn them. They are Old Man's and Young Master's memorial tablet. They can't be burnt. I'll leave immediately."

"Quickly leave then. Stop delaying! Hurry up! Leave now or I'll break your legs!" The woman's arrogant voice was heard once more.

"Before, the top noble Long Family was definitely renowned but now? It's no more. This is Long Family's retribution. All their heirs are gone! I am going to renovate this place for my dogs."

The woman looked at the memorial tablet she was holding in disgust, "I'd better start burning these two broken pieces of wood as soon as possible!"

"Put down the memorial tablets now or I'll kill you!"

The woman placed her hands on her waist and laughed wilfully. Suddenly, an extremely cold voice came from the doorway, causing whoever heard it, would send a cold chill down their spine.

Long Wei stood at the doorway with a hostile expression.

He wasn't expecting to witness such a commotion when he returned home.

The dead should rest in peace.

Instead this conceited woman was being disrespectful in the mourning of his father and elder brother. It was not be tolerated.

"You brat, who the hell are you? How dare you interfere in my business!"

Seeing Long Wei who had suddenly broke in with a murderous expression, it woman was stunned. She quickly composed herself and sneered at Long Wei with a wicked smile. She wasn't afraid as she had the Xu Family supporting her.

Currently, throughout Chuzhou, no one would dare to offend the Xu Family.

Unless they don't wish to live anymore.

"Second Young Master!" "You've finally come back!" The old housekeeper, Uncle Lee, who was crouched on the floor packing up his things, looked up with his eyes all teary.

Staring at the young, tall and stern man at the doorway, he was pleasantly surprised.

"Uncle Lee, I'm back now." Long Wei looked at the old man with the white hair, and felt his quite emotional.

Uncle Lee stumbled towards Long Wei, with tears flowing he said, "Second Young Master, home, home..."

Uncle Lee looked at Long Wei who have returned and very felt sad. He had been looking after the Long Family for over thirty years, and had treated the Long Family as his family.

"It's alright, Uncle Lee, I know everything."

Long Wei said as he choked a little.

"Hey, do you know who I am? What? Bringing five to six people, pretending to be some in charge? You are only the adopted son the Old Man took care of! An orphan with no parents!"

Xu Huilan looked at Long Wei with ridicule, "Has being a soldier those few years made you become an idiot? You want to kill me? I'll see you try!"

After pausing a moment, she continued, "I'll let you know, this house belongs to me now. So if you and this old fossil will get out now!"

"I believe the person who doesn't deserve to live is you!"

Long Wei stared at Xu Huilan indifferently, "I'll give you a minute to call the Xu Family and have them come over here to collect your corpse."
