Chapter 668 - A Solemn Vow Between Brothers
Guan Gu Ri left the chairman's floor.
His amiable expression instantly changed into a fierce one. He clenched his fist. He wanted to go back to the room and face the man with his violent rage. Alas, it took him three breathes to control his boiling anger.
He called his personal butler.
"Yes, Headmaster."
"I want you to increase the security further. Not only in the chairman's floor but in the whole building. Reassign the reserve security to the building." His gaze deepened. "Most importantly, treat the chairman as an enemy of the Guan Empire whom we need to restrain. Don't let him step out of the chairman's floor."
"...I understand, Headmaster." The butler was loyal and obeyed without a question.
"Also, conduct an inspection. There are rats hiding in the Guan Empire building. Make sure you catch them and report to imdiately. Be discreet."
"Yes, Headmaster. Imdiately."
Guan Gu Ri stepped into the elevator with his subordinates.
"How is Guan Xixin? Did he leave his room?"? He asked his loyal n behind him.
"Second young master is still in the hidden room. He already woke up an hour ago. He is requesting to leave. The forr head butler is accompanying him right now." "
The hidden room was a place that only the head of the Guan Family and the loyal butlers knew. It was inside the Guan Empire building that was not included in the blueprint.
Since Guan Gao Huan had just been appointed yesterday and ran away imdiately after his appointnt, the forr head butler did not have the ti to tell Guan Gao Huan about that place.
Guan Gu Ri: "How is his health?"
"The doctor said that the second young master slept the whole day due to fatigue and ntal stress. He was advised to rest for a while."
Guan Gu Ri's stiff brow furrowed. His c.h.e.s.t felt heavy.
He had failed to protect his third brother, and right now, he also failed his second brother.
Grandfather and Little Huan had already left.
Now, Guan Xixin was his only family.
Guan Gu Ri swore to protect his only remaining loved one.
'Forgive , my dear brothers. I have been so foolish...'
The elevators opened.
The room was a ss.
Guan Xixin had already changed into casual clothes. But his pale face and pale lips told everyone that he was not doing okay.
In his hand was a shard of a broken vase.
Guan Gu Ri: !!!
The forr head butler's face was washed over with relief when he saw the new family head.
"Headmaster! It's a good thing that you are here. Second young master would have hard himself if you are even a second late!"
Guan Gu Ri exhaled deeply. His hands trembled.
"Second brother, I believe you. I will help you get revenge for our third brother. So please put that down."
Guan Xixin looked at him coldly and threw the broken shard away.
"I am not planning to kill myself without bringing down that fake with ."
Guan Gu Ri sighed with relief.
Guan Xixin: "It took you a long ti to get here. I need to go out."
"Where will you go?"
"Why? Will you follow if I say that I'll go to hell to kill that bastard?"
Guan Gu Ri's face turned serious. He answered with determination. "Yes."
Guan Xixin: "...."
Guan Gu Ri inhaled a deep breath. "I admit that I've been really stupid before. I believe you now, brother. Although I'd rather not believe it, but our third brother is truly gone like you said." Grief washed over his face. He closed his eyes.
"I tested that person a few tis. I confird it with my own ears and eyes. He is not our brother. He is... He is really a fraud who stole our brother's identity." Guan Gu Ri's voice trembled. His bloodshot eyes moistened.
Guan Xixin was silent.
He could see that his gentle and overly kind elder brother who had never cried or break down before was now wrecked inside.
Probably more ruined than him in his self-bla.
He knew his brother really well.
Right now, his elder brother was desperately trying to keep it together outwardly to not fail him again.
Guan Xixin's eyes blurred.
Seeing him like this, how could he still bla his elder brother?
Why did this cursed and twisted fate happen to their family?
Stepping forward, Guan Xixin hugged his elder brother.
No words were exchanged between them.
After a long ti, Guan Gu Ri separated from Guan Xixin.
With red eyes, he solemnly declared, "Second brother, you said before that you will avenge our third brother even though it will destroy the Guan Empire and ruin our family. I, as Little Huan's eldest brother and as the head of our family, will support you wholeheartedly. Even if I have to pay this sin with all my life."
Guan Gu Ri gave the most solemn promise he ever had in his whole life.
Due to his upbringing, he had never been ruthless or rude before. But right now, he need all evilness in his bones to support Guan Xixin.
'Since they had been so cruel to us, then we will respond with a hundred fold of cruelty.'
He'll do what it takes to bring down all the people who stole their brother's identity. Even at the cost of his own life.
Guan Xixin's eyes reflected Guan Gu Ri's determination.
"I accept your support, brother. We will bring him and whoever supported him down. No matter what it takes, even if it is my family na or my life."
There was a solemn agreent between the two, a silent promise to exhaust everything in exchange for vengeance.
"Then brother, what is your next move?"
