Chapter 167: A Disgusting Clan—It Deserves to Fall
The moment Li Jiexuan pointed, Uchiha Yuuya immediately understood. As the saying went, it's easy to deal with the King of Hell, but hard to deal with petty underlings. Captain Jiexuan had probably been harassed by Cousin Menwei!
At this point, Uchiha Yuuya still hadn't realized how serious the situation was…
It wasn't until the bald director finished recounting everything he had witnessed that Uchiha Yuuya finally understood—his cousin was done for.
Even Jesus couldn't save him!
"Smack!"
With a vicious slap, Uchiha Jiangshu's icy expression didn't change as his palm struck Uchiha Menwei's face. "You fool! To dare do something like this. You are confined for one year!"
"Confined for one year?"
Hearing the punishment, everyone present—including Uchiha Yuuya—froze.
Even setting aside all of Li Jiexuan's halos of glory, just considering his position as an Anbu captain—
This punishment was far too light!
Or rather, it wasn't punishment at all, but protection in another form!
"Interesting." Li Jiexuan narrowed his eyes. No wonder the upper beam was swollen with arrogance—the lower beam dared to be so lawless.
"Well? Is Captain Li satisfied with this punishment?" Uchiha Jiangshu looked him up and down with undisguised contempt. Though he spoke words of apology, every syllable carried the tone of condescension.
It was as if he were saying: That's enough. Our Uchiha clan offering you an apology is a blessing earned over three lifetimes. If you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for turning hostile.
"Satisfied. Very satisfied."
Li Jiexuan grinned widely. Eight white teeth gleamed against bright red gums, his smile dazzling. "Uchiha Menwei is excellent. The Uchiha clan is excellent."
Seeing this, the bald director—who knew Li Jiexuan well—shivered involuntarily. He knew Li Jiexuan was now seething with rage, on the verge of slaughter.
Just as Li Jiexuan was about to kill the two outright, Uchiha Yuuya grabbed his arm with a pleading expression. "Captain, let's go inside first. Today is Uchiha Fugaku's birthday after all."
After a moment of thought, Li Jiexuan nodded and stepped into the Uchiha residence…
Some things didn't need to be said aloud.
Uchiha Menwei. Uchiha Jiangshu.
Li Jiexuan had already sentenced them to death. For now, he would let the two dead men savor a few more days of pride.
Upon entering the estate, Li Jiexuan was immediately ushered to the honored guest seat, seated alongside the high-ranking elders of the Uchiha clan.
Yet he felt no joy.
Because he realized that the way these elders looked at him was no different from Uchiha Jiangshu. Outwardly respectful—but deep in their eyes lay disdain for a nouveau riche upstart.
"What a revolting clan." Li Jiexuan observed coldly. He now somewhat understood Itachi's astonishing act of slaughtering his own family…
No other reason—
They truly deserved it.
Perhaps it was because those at the top stood in lonely heights, but the Uchiha clan head was always the calmest one. The current clan leader, Uchiha Zhenxiong, expressed his apologies to Li Jiexuan in a tactful manner.
"I hope this matter does not affect Captain Jiexuan's view of our Uchiha clan."
But was that even possible?
"Clan Leader Zhenxiong, you should understand—the Uchiha's problem isn't with me, nor with one or two clan members."
Li Jiexuan shook his head with a cold smile.
The root of the Uchiha was rotten.
Uchiha Zhenxiong let out a sigh, about to speak—
Just then, Uchiha Mikoto carried out the tiny Uchiha Fugaku. "Husband, what are you all talking about?"
"Nothing important." A smile finally appeared on Uchiha Zhenxiong's face. "This is my son—Uchiha Fugaku!"
