Yaso's voice, like a bone-chilling wind carrying ice shards, instantly swept through the entire banquet hall.
The surging killing intent seed to drop the air temperature by more than ten degrees in an instant.
After saying these words,
Zhou Huai, controlling Yaso, slowly scanned the surrounding guests.
He saw faces contorted with fear and heard the uncontrollable chattering of teeth.
He spoke coldly,
"I don't intend to kill the innocent tonight."
"Anyone here who has no connection with the Liu family can leave the banquet hall now."
"I will not stop them in the slightest."
At these words, all the guests exchanged glances, their faces filled with hesitation and struggle.
Leave?
To leave now would be to completely sever ties with the Liu family in front of everyone.
But if they didn't go... Everyone subconsciously glanced at the man in the center of the hall, who resembled a demon god, and then at the black beetles still gnawing on the corpses on the ground.
A chill ran from the soles of their feet straight to their heads.
The outco of staying would likely be ten thousand tis more miserable than offending the Liu family.
"I... I'm leaving first!"
Soone shouted first, though no one knew who.
This cry was like lighting the fuse of a powder keg, instantly igniting the entire hall.
"Go! Hurry!"
"I have no connection with the Liu family! I just ca to celebrate a birthday!"
The desire for survival completely overwheld reason and so-called dignity.
The crowd, like a disturbed swarm of bees, frantically surged towards the main entrance of the banquet hall!
The sound of chairs being knocked over, won's ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) screams, and n's roars intertwined into a chaotic symphony.
They pushed, trampled, and rcilessly shoved those around them to the ground, all to be the first to escape this Hell on earth.
Looking at this group of 'high society' individuals in their undignified state, a flicker of undisguised mockery flashed in Zhou Huai's eyes.
He didn't move, just watched quietly.
Like a deity looking down on a group of panicked ants.
Soon, several people were the first to rush to the door.
Their faces showed the wild joy of surviving a catastrophe, and half their bodies were already outside the door.
The free air had never slled so sweet.
However, just as one of them crossed the threshold of the main door...
The wild joy froze.
Boom—!!!
A blinding flash of fire exploded violently on his chest!
Several Shadow Demon Worms tore through his flesh, and the violent energy blew his entire upper body into pieces!
Warm blood and shattered internal organs splattered all over the people behind him.
"Ah—!!!"
The two people who followed imdiately after didn't even have ti to let out a scream before their bodies also exploded in quick succession!
Boom! Boom!
Two blood mists blood violently at the doorway!
The thick sll of blood mixed with char furiously stimulated everyone's olfactory nerves.
The crowd, which had just been surging towards the door like a tide, stopped abruptly as if under a paralysis spell.
Everyone stared intently at the three incomplete corpses at the doorway with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
Blood slowly flowed along the threshold.
For a mont, screams erupted again.
The middle-aged man closest to the scene went weak in the knees and collapsed directly to the ground.
He trembled uncontrollably, and a dark wet stain quickly spread across his crotch.
His voice was an unrecognizable tremor, and he looked towards the indifferent figure in the center of the hall with a sobbing tone.
"Didn't... didn't you say... you'd let us leave?"
"Why... why..."
This question voiced the thoughts of everyone present.
Everyone's gaze subconsciously focused on Yaso.
Fear, confusion, anger.
Zhou Huai, controlling Yaso, still had no expression on his face.
"I did say that those with no connection to the Liu family could leave."
He casually pointed his katana at the blurry mass of flesh at the doorway.
"But these ones don't count."
"The first one to be blown up was Wang Hai. On the surface, he did dicinal herb business, but secretly, he had always been helping the Liu family handle their illicit money."
"The second one was a deputy commander of the city guard. Over the years, he had received many benefits from the Liu family, helping them clear obstacles."
"As for the third one..."
Zhou Huai paused, a cold arc forming at the corner of his mouth.
"He is clearly Old Master of the Liu Family's illegitimate son, kept hidden outside."
"Did you really think I didn't know?"
"Did you think changing identities would allow you to slip through?"
Yaso let out a soft laugh.
The laughter in the dead silent banquet hall was particularly jarring, like the whisper of a devil.
"So I still hope that Your Excellencies will consider carefully before making a decision."
"Think carefully about whether you have any connection with the Liu family at all."
"Even if it's just a tiny connection."
Hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with struggle.
The Liu family belonged to a prominent family in the Imperial Capital.
Their connections were intricate, like a century-old tree rooted deep beneath the city.
Who could guarantee that they truly had no connection, not even the slightest, to this great tree?
Most importantly,
This man, this man who seed to have walked out of Hell, why did he know everything?
Even the top-secret matter of Old Master of the Liu Family's illegitimate son was sothing he knew intimately.
Go, or not go.
No one dared to gamble.
Only a few people, after a brief deliberation, turned without hesitation and strode out of the banquet hall's main door.
They left unhindered.
They were not affected in the slightest.
This bizarre scene made the remaining people even more apprehensive.
Just then, an angry rebuke suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"You' charlatan!"
A young man in a white custom-made suit, with handso features but a hint of arrogance, stepped forward.
He pointed at Yaso, his face filled with undisguised disdain and contempt.
"Do you know who my father is?"
"The Deputy Commander of the Imperial Capital Garrison, Zhang Wei!"
"If you dare to harm a single hair on my head, my father's troops will crush you to a pulp tomorrow!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than another effeminate young man beside him also sneered.
"And ! My father is the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Energy!"
"Kid, I don't care who you are, if anything happens to , my father won't let you off!"
However, Yaso rely raised an eyelid, his gaze calmly sweeping over them.
That look was like watching two jumping clowns.
Zhou Huai, controlling Yaso, curved his lips into a playful arc.
"Whether I dare to touch you two..."
"If you walk out that door now, won't you know?"
That understated tone, that undisguised mockery, instantly ignited the two young n's rage.
However, they rely raged for a mont in their anger.
They glared hatefully at Yaso but dared not take a single step.
"Enough!"
An angry roar ca from the main seat.
Old Master of the Liu Family suddenly stood up.
His cloudy old eyes stared intently at Yaso, his wrinkled face filled with uncontrollable fury.
"They are rely guests I invited to the birthday banquet!"
"All grievances have nothing to do with them!"
"If you have sothing, co at my Liu family!"
Zhou Huai, controlling Yaso, shook his head indifferently.
The mockery on his face grew even stronger.
"It seems you still haven't figured out the situation."
"Whether they are innocent or not is no longer up to you."
"You old dog of the Liu family are not qualified to negotiate with ."
Old Master of the Liu Family's body trembled slightly from extre anger.
His old face turned crimson, and his muscles twitched uncontrollably.
He pointed at Yaso, his voice hoarse, but he roared with all his might.
"Your Excellency, do you really think my Liu family is a soft persimmon that you can knead at will?"
"Even if my Liu family is ruined today, we will absolutely keep you, this madman!"
Yaso completely disregarded his harsh words.
"What gibberish are you spouting?"
"You have too many lines; you die first!"
The mont his voice fell, the ground of the entire banquet hall began to tremble violently without warning!
Buzz— Buzz— Buzz—!
A dense, scalp-prickling buzzing sound, as if from the depths of Hell, suddenly resounded throughout the entire space!
