Chapter 269: His obsession.

The sun hung high in the sky, casting long shadows across the sprawling estate as Xiang Yu gripped the steering wheel like a lifeline. His knuckles whitened under the strain, a stark contrast to the unsettling grin that danced across his lips.

It was a grin that spoke of defiance, of a man ready to unleash chaos for the sake of his beloved. In the back of his mind, a primal instinct surged. He couldn’t let anyone hurt Han Xin. The weight of his affection bore down on him, a secret that no one else could possibly fathom.

As he approached the towering gates, the guards waved him down, their faces masks of confusion and alarm. But Xiang Yu was deaf to their commands, the revving of the engine drowning out their shouts for him to stop. With a surge of adrenaline, he slammed down on the accelerator, the haulage truck lunging forward like a beast unleashed. Metal crumpled under its might as the gate splintered apart, sending wood and iron flying like shrapnel.

The guards stood frozen for a heartbeat, eyes wide, disbelief etched onto their faces. But that moment of shock was fleeting. Their instincts kicked in as they scrambled for their weapons, fingers trembling around cold steel. Bullets erupted into the air, but they ricocheted harmlessly off the truck’s armoured exterior. To Xiang Yu, the world outside faded into a blur, a cacophony of shouts and gunfire overshadowed by the exhilarating roar of the engine.

He barreled through the estate, a relentless force of destruction. Cars that had once gleamed under the sun now lay in his path, their metal frames an invitation for chaos. With each impact, he revelled in the sound of crunching steel and shattering glass, a symphony of anarchy that resonated with the fury in his veins. A sharp turn here, a calculated ram there, he manoeuvred with the precision of a predator, the thrill of the hunt coursing through him.

But he wasn’t finished. With a sinister smile curling at the corners of his mouth, he shifted gears, the truck screeching back in a dramatic reversal. The head of security, a man clad in a tailored suit now covered in dirt and a fresh cut on his arm, felt the air grow thick with dread as their eyes locked. Xiang Yu’s gaze was like a raging storm swirling filled of malice. It sent shivers racing down the man’s spine. It was as if he were staring into the abyss, the dark depths promising torment and despair.

"Get out of the way!" The head of security’s voice trembled, panic clawing at his throat as his instincts screamed at him to flee. But the others stood frozen, confusion etching lines into their brows until the tyres screamed against the asphalt, a horrific sound that shattered the momentary stillness.

In a desperate scramble, the guards dove aside just as the truck surged forward again, ploughing straight into the mansion’s grand entrance. Wood splintered, windows exploded outward in a rain of glass, and the elegant interior erupted into chaos. Screams filled the air, mingling with the roar of the engine as people scattered like leaves in a storm.

Xiang Yu sat there for a moment his demeanour unsettlingly casual amidst the chaos. He ran his fingers through his hair, a careless gesture that contrasted the mayhem he had just unleashed.

The truck door creaked open and he stepped out of the truck like a conqueror surveying his battlefield. The air was thick with the scent of gasoline and fear, but all he could think of was Han Xin. At that moment, he was invincible, an embodiment of chaos, with the world at his feet and his heart set on protecting what was truly his.

Without hesitation, he raised his weapon, the metallic click echoing ominously in the stillness. The sharp crack of gunfire shattered the lingering silence, and a man fell to the ground with a pained cry, his body crumpling like a discarded marionette.

Xiang Yu advanced through the cloud of dust, each step deliberate. He was like a predator revelling in the thrill of the hunt. He pulled the trigger again and again, the echoes of his resolve mingling with the groans of the fallen. The chaos around him blurred into a haze as he focused on the voices that rose above the chaotic sounds.

"Young Master Han! Where are you?" The voice called out, brittle and strained. Xiang Yu’s heart raced, momentarily flickering with hope, but as he strained to listen, he recognized it was not Han Xin’s familiar tone echoing through the turmoil. It was Han Jia instead.

"How nice," Xiang Yu muttered under his breath, the words laced with a sardonic edge. He turned toward the sound, his expression morphing into something darker.

A bodyguard who was trying to help Han Jia u drew his gun the moment he saw Xiang Yu coming the weapon trembling in his grasp, but Xiang Yu was faster. He was like an executioner in a world gone mad.

In an instant, he pulled the trigger, the shot ringing out like a death bell. Xiang Yu said, "Get up." Han Jia’s initial joy evaporated nto a suffocating terror when he saw who it was. Xiang Yu seized him by the collar, dragging him close, their faces inches apart. For a fleeting moment, Han Jia’s heart swelled with a sense of happiness only to be crushed under the weight of jealousy and fear.

Why was Xiang Yu loyal to Han Xin, the golden boy, the one who always outshined him in every aspect? Han Jia’s mind spiralled with resentment. He had always felt overshadowed, forced to watch his half brother soar while he wallowed in the shadows of their father’s affection. Han Xin may have been better, but he never truly cared; after all, Han Xin was destined to serve him, to be the pawn in his game of wealth and power.

But Xiang Yu’s loyalty was the one prize Han Jia could never grasp. He recalled the day Xiang Yu had taught him to shoot, the thrill of the moment now tainted by the hollow ache of longing. After that day, he had tried to reach out, but Xiang Yu had vanished like he had disappeared from the face of the earth. Even his father had advised him to let it go. Reluctantly, he had complied, only to find himself standing here, face-to-face with the very man who had become his
