“That was me!”
Xiao Changge took a step forward.
“Your son drugged Su Jiayin unconscious.
I was just teaching him a lesson!”
“Good, good, good.
You dare cripple my son?
I’ll have you dead for this!” Cao Hu’s killing intent flared.
As for drugging a woman, to Cao Hu, that was nothing of consequence.
An old man behind him stepped forward.
“That’s… Master Hu’s Grandmaster Level bodyguard, Master Qi!” someone exclaimed.
Anyone who reached the Grandmaster Level could establish their own sect!
Cao Hu’s dominance as the overlord of East Sea wasn’t just because of his status as an imperial merchant, but also because he had a Grandmaster Level bodyguard!
“Is he with the Su family?”
Cao Hu looked toward the members of the Su family.
The Su family nearly collapsed in fear at his words.
“Master Hu, this has nothing to do with us!
We don’t even know him!” the Su family members frantically explained.
“But he made a move on behalf of someone from your Su family!” Cao Hu said coldly.
Cold sweat dripped down Su Bingtian’s face.
“Master Hu, it really has nothing to do with us.
We were already planning to matchmake Young Master Cao and my daughter.
There was absolutely no need for him to drug her.”
As he spoke, he shot a vicious glare at Xiao Changge.
“Stop your nonsense!
Young Master Cao would never need to resort to such methods!”
“That’s right!
It’s an incredible honor to be noticed by Young Master Cao.
Why would he need to use some secret drug?” the Su family members chimed in, cursing.
“Bingtian, but Changge…” Wang Mei glanced at her unconscious daughter beside her.
She felt that Xiao Changge was most likely telling the truth.
Xiao Changge had clearly saved her daughter, yet now he was being abandoned by the Su family.
Of course, she also thought that Xiao Changge had been a bit too ruthless.
‘He was a member of the Cao family, after all!’
“It’s best if you’re not involved.
If I find out you are, I won’t spare any of you!”
Cao Hu snorted coldly, then looked at Master Qi.
“Master Qi, kill him!”
Master Qi stepped out, looking at Xiao Changge with a hint of pity.
“Though we have no personal grievances, you laid a hand on someone from the Cao family.
For that, you will die today!”
As his voice fell,
a tyrannical aura erupted from his body.
The ground around him cracked, and the shockwave sent everyone stumbling backward.
Everyone was utterly horrified.
‘So this is the might of a Grandmaster?’
‘When a Grandmaster strikes, not even a blade of grass survives!’
“Stop!”
Just then, a cold voice rang out.
It was Ye Xiaoyun.
“It’s General Ye!” someone recognized him.
A flicker of apprehension crossed Master Qi’s eyes, and he quickly retracted his aura.
“Major General Ye!”
Facing Ye Xiaoyun, Cao Hu was incredibly respectful.
“Cao Hu, you intend to kill someone here?”
Ye Xiaoyun asked faintly, well aware of Cao Hu’s identity.
“He crippled my son!” Cao Hu said, grinding his teeth.
“The Asura War God is hosting a banquet here today.
Are you sure you want to kill someone on his turf?” Ye Xiaoyun asked again.
Cao Hu immediately fell silent.
Master Qi leaned in and whispered, “Master Hu, it seems Major General Ye knows that kid.
We should back down for now.
Besides, he’s right.
The Asura War God is here today.
If we disturb him, I’m afraid none of us will escape the consequences.”
Cao Hu knew he couldn’t touch Xiao Changge here today.
He just didn’t understand how this guy knew Ye Xiaoyun.
But before he could say anything, Xiao Changge spoke.
“In three days, I will annihilate your Cao family!”
‘The Cao family will be the first to fall!’
‘Even if the Cao family had nothing to do with my mother’s death, they still have to die!’
‘Simply because that man, Cao Hu, just tried to have me killed!’
Xiao Changge was never merciful to his enemies.
The moment he said this, countless people’s eyes went wide.
‘What did this guy just say?’
‘Annihilate the Cao family in three days?’
‘That’s completely outrageous.’
‘Is he actively trying to get himself killed?!’
