The Untamed Series 1: Untold Secrets

Chapter 23

Third Person POV

Consumed by a tempest of fury, Jin Guangshan received the news of the failed assassination attempts and the demise of his trusted assassins.

His visage contorted, contending with an overwhelming rage that threatened to consume him entirely.

The intensity within his eyes burned with such ferocity that it seemed capable of setting ablaze the very atmosphere surrounding him.

Having anticipated Clan Leader Nie's submission to his will, Jin Guangshan had envisioned an alliance that would solidify his stranglehold on power.

However, the audacious defiance displayed by the Nie Clan ignited a fiery determination within him, stoking the flames of his wrath to an unprecedented degree.

In a fit of unbridled anger, Jin Guangshan summoned his most loyal and skilled disciples, demanding answers and retribution.

With a voice filled with thunderous fury, he sought to unmask those who had dared to challenge his authority and stand against the indomitable might of the Jin Sect.

Jin Guangyao, burdened by the weight of defeat, returned to the Jin sect with a heavy heart.

His gaze lowered, his chest heaving with fear and anxiety, he could sense his father's seething anger the moment he crossed the threshold of the Koi Tower.

Jin Guangshan, towering before his throne, unleashed his wrath upon the disciples who lay prostrate on the floor, their lives hanging by a thread.

Jin Guangyao approached, standing before his formidable father, a man renowned for his unyielding ambition and insatiable hunger for power.

Bowing his head in deference, he offered his greetings, only to be met with a withering glare and a demand for an account of his mission.

The assassins, sensing the growing tension, rose from their positions and silently exited the grand hall, leaving Jin Guangyao to kneel before his father.

Jin Guangshan clenched his fist in a display of seething anger as he listened to his son's explanation, the air thick with an unspoken sense of impending consequences.

The air in the room was thick with tension, charged with disappointment and anger.

Jin Guangshan's piercing gaze narrowed as he looked at his son, his voice dripping with disdain.

"You pitiful imbecile! How could you let Lan Wuxian slip through your feeble grasp?" he sneered, his words laced with venomous contempt.

Jin Guangyao's gaze remained fixed on his father, his expression unreadable. He had grown accustomed to his father's relentless insults and knew that any attempt to defend himself would only invite further wrath.

Silence hung heavily in the air as Jin Guangshan continued his tirade, his voice growing louder and more cutting with each word.

"You are an utter disgrace to the Jin sect! I should have disowned you long ago, sparing us all the shame of your existence!"

Jin Guangyao's eyes burned with a mixture of anger and determination.

He understood that his father's words were meant to belittle and break him, but he refused to let them shatter his resolve.

He held his tongue, waiting for the opportune moment to rise above his father's control and seize power for himself.

As Jin Guangshan's insults continued to pour forth, Jin Guangyao maintained his stoic silence.

He had learned long ago that engaging in a verbal battle with his father would only lead to more pain and humiliation.

Instead, he focused on gathering his thoughts and formulating a plan to secure his own power within the Jin sect.
