"No, it was legal, but not reasonable," Luo Dalong said, his expression grim. "Logically, most people would have chosen to smooth things over. After all, the Huangfu Family is under the Sovereign's protection. As the saying goes, you have to show deference to their powerful backer. Anyone with half a brain should have shown that much respect."
"But that guy didn't give the Sovereign any face and just killed Huangfu Lanzhi? Isn't that a blatant slap in the Sovereign's face?"
"Think about it. No matter how much Huangfu Lanzhi was in the wrong, he was still backed by the Sovereign. How could Lin Han's personal grievances be more important than the Sovereign's dignity?"
"Maybe he's just young, hot-headed, and arrogant?" Ah Si asked.
"I might have agreed with you before, but not anymore. That kid is cunning and deeply calculating—a vicious tiger that devours its prey, bones and all."
