13 Burned to Ashes

After greeting all the elders, Qin Hua introduced her son to all the family members. Xu Chenyu hid shyly behind his mother.

It was his first time seeing all these people.

All of them enthusiastically tried interacting with him, especially his maternal grandfather. He looked much young and approachable than his paternal grandfather.

The mere thought of his paternal grandfather sends him chills down to his spine. But here the atmosphere was much better. Everyone here was all smiles, giving off a warm aura.

Xu Chenyu was introduced to his large number of cousins. There were so many of them and among them, there were three pairs of twins, Xu Chenyu was unable to memorize so many new faces at once.

The eldest one among his cousins, Qin Shijin was in his early twenties old and the youngest, Qin Yuze was elder than Xu Chenyu by a few months.

Soon the party started within a short while.

Xu Chenyu watched as his mother greeted a large number of unfamiliar people enthusiastically. She had her signature smile on her face. He however felt lost.

Xu Chenyu wasn't the only one who was feeling bored. The whole younger generation was really bored. Most of them felt their facial muscles aching after smiling for a long period of time.

Once the cake cutting ceremony was over, the younger generation slipped out of the party one by one.

Unlike other prestigious families who were strict with their children, Qins was liberal. Hence, none of the juniors wished to stay at the party.

Qin Yuze didn't forget to invite his newly found cousin along with them. Xu Chenyu was initially shy but was excited from inside.

The bunch of youngsters and kids reached a dock.

Being a private island having access only by Qin family members, there was a huge yacht waiting for them at the dock. From their conversation, Xu Chenyu understood that they were going to board the yacht and visit the nearby beach villa across the water isolating the island.

Everyone enthusiastically boarded the yacht.

Within a short while, they reached the other shore.

Not far away from the beach, a gigantic villa could be seen. The butler of the villa, Mr. Feng was already waiting for them.

"Welcome, young masters and young misses", the middle-aged man greeted them cheerfully.

"Hi, grandpa butler", everyone replied in unison.

Other than the butler, a lady of a similar age group was waiting for them. She was the housekeeper of the villa, Mrs. Feng.

Just as Mrs. Feng opened her mouth to say something, a series of huge noises were heard. Everyone turned in the direction of the source of noise only to find that the huge private island from where they just came was blasted by bombs.

The chain of bomb blasts had set the whole island in fire. It was impossible for anyone to survive this.

Everyone was dumbstruck by this scene. Flames were dancing on the remains of the island.

The sound of helicopters could be heard vividly.

Seeing the helicopters heading in their direction they assumed that it contained survivors.

Bang bang bang

A series of bullets were fired. The helicopter did not contain survivors, but they were professional killers hired to finish off each and every member of the Qin family and its relatives.
