Chapter 84: The First Meeting Between Dai Hao and Dai Youheng, Father and Son
Inside the venue, everyone's eyes were focused on the black-haired boy who slowly withdrew his hand, the shadows and chill around him gradually dissipating. His expression remained calm, as if he had only done something insignificant.
"We won! We won!" Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong clapped their hands excitedly, their eyes filled with admiration and awe as they looked at Dai Youheng.
In the VIP section, Xu Jiujiu suddenly stood up, her beautiful eyes gleaming with admiration. Her gaze was no longer one of simple scrutiny and exploitation, but rather filled with undisguised astonishment and praise, even a hint of fervor. "Excellent! This is a true genius!"
In the waiting area of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Hongchen, who had been watching with his arms crossed and an arrogant expression, now had a completely gloomy face, and his fingers unconsciously tightened.
Dai Youheng's domineering yet exquisite fighting style, and his absolute strength that crushed opponents of higher levels, made him feel unprecedented pressure.
Beside him, Meng Hongchen held her hands to her heart, her eyes almost sparkling with stars, "So—so handsome!"
So strong and handsome! It turns out that the person we met before was actually Shrek's secret weapon.
Even Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, who had been sitting steadily on the podium, remained silent for a long time. He stared at the radiant illegitimate son on the arena with complicated emotions, his heart surging with turmoil. For the first time, he truly began to re-examine this son who had been neglected for many years.
Dai Youheng almost single-handedly controlled the overall situation, crushed powerful enemies, and truly became famous in one battle!
As Shrek and his team walked back to the hotel, the commotion of the game's end gradually faded behind them.
Although they fought hard, they ultimately won a thrilling victory, especially Dai Youheng's overwhelming performance in the final match, which greatly boosted the team's morale.
Apart from Dai Huabin, whose face was gloomy due to the defeat, and Zhu Lu, who silently accompanied him, everyone else looked relaxed and joyful.
Since Huo Yuhao didn't exert himself much in this match, he didn't reveal the aura of the Ice Emperor on his body.
This naturally prevented Cheng Gang, the guardian douluo of the Star Luo Empire, from getting a beating.
Moreover, with this victory, starting player Ling Luochen can finally recover from his injury and return to the team. With a Soul King-level strong controller in charge, the subsequent matches will undoubtedly be much easier.
However, this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere froze instantly when a figure suddenly appeared in front of the road.
The newcomer was tall and imposing, dressed in well-tailored casual clothes, yet still unable to conceal the battle-hardened aura and imposing authority he exuded. His blond hair was loose, and his face was ruggedly handsome, as if sculpted by a knife.
Upon seeing this person, Huo Yuhao's body stiffened abruptly, his arm trembling uncontrollably, his fist clenching so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palm. Those bright eyes churned with extremely complex emotions—resentment,
Feeling wronged and angry.
It was him, his blood father, the man who gave him life but caused his mother a lifetime of sorrow and even died without being acknowledged, Duke White Tiger, Dai Hao!
Dai Hao's gaze swept calmly over the crowd, pausing briefly on the pale-faced Dai Huabin, but not lingering for long. Finally, it landed on Dai Youheng in the crowd.
Upon seeing his father, Dai Huabin instinctively took a step forward, about to greet him, "Father—"
Before she could even finish greeting him, Dai Hao interrupted her with his calm words, "Youheng, it's been a long time."
Dai Hao's voice was calm and steady, revealing little emotion, yet it sent a shiver down the spines of everyone present. The Duke had come specifically to see Dai Youheng?
Dai Youheng raised an eyebrow. He genuinely hadn't expected Dai Hao to come looking for him in person, and hadn't even recognized him at first glance. Hearing Dai Hao's words, he subconsciously retorted, "It has been quite a while. I even wanted to say 'Nice to meet you, bro,' who are you?"
That was his honest opinion; having traveled through time, this was indeed the first time he had ever seen anything like it.
Upon hearing this, Dai Hao frowned slightly, seemingly displeased. "When did you learn to joke around?"
In his memory, this illegitimate son had always been subservient and dared not utter a sound in front of him.
"A joke?" Dai Youheng chuckled lightly, a hint of sarcasm in her tone. "You talk like you know me so well. How many years do you go home? I've probably only exchanged a few words with you in the last few years, right?"
He accurately exposed the indifferent father-son relationship between the original owner and his father.
Dai Hao was taken aback by these words, his gaze becoming deep as he re-examined his son, who seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
The Dai Youheng before me had a calm gaze and a dignified and even aloof scrutiny. Where was there any trace of the timid and humble person I used to be?
He paused for a moment, then said, "Indeed. Since we don't communicate much usually, let's have a good chat today, father and son." He turned to Zhou Yi, the team leader, his tone regaining its ducal authority and politeness, "Teacher Zhou, is it alright if I take my son away for one night to catch up?"
Zhou Yi quickly replied, "Of course it's alright, Your Grace. Please do as you please. You are Youheng's father, what could I possibly worry about?"
Tomorrow's opponents are not strong, and with Ling Luochen's return, Dai Youheng's brief departure is not a big deal.
Dai Hao nodded, looked at Dai Youheng, and said in a tone that brooked no refusal, "Youheng, come home with me today."
After saying that, he turned around, as if he had just remembered something, and looked back at Dai Huabin, adding, "Huabin, try to go home and spend more time with your mother when you have time. She's been feeling unwell lately."
Although his tone remained calm, a subtle heaviness crept in when he mentioned the lady.
"Yes, Father," Dai Huabin replied with a grim expression. His father ignored him completely, his gaze and words all focused on Dai Youheng, which made him feel extremely humiliated and jealous.
Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, felt a jolt of shock, followed by a chilling sense of satisfaction. That vicious woman, the mastermind behind his mother's death, now had her two sons' futures ruined and herself plagued by illness—truly retribution.
It would be best if she didn't die too quickly. If possible, Huo Yuhao still hoped that he could personally kill that woman and then force Dai Hao to kneel down and apologize in front of his mother's grave.
"In that case, everyone, I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow." Dai Youheng said goodbye to everyone with a normal expression, as if he were just going to do something ordinary.
He walked to Dai Hao's side, and the two of them walked silently toward the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, which symbolized the top nobles of the Star Luo Empire.
They walked in silence. An awkward and distant silence hung between them. Dai Hao walked ahead, his figure as upright as a mountain; Dai Youheng followed half a step behind, his posture relaxed yet carrying a sense of independence that seemed out of place with his surroundings.
Until they arrived at the magnificent and heavily guarded ducal mansion.
