Elder Zhou was about to pass out from anger; Elder Qee was truly a turncoat. Was their many years of friendship worth nothing at all?
The Zhou Family mbers behind him also looked extrely unpleasant. After arriving on the island, they thought they’d at least be able to say a few words. They hadn’t expected the Qi Family to be so unreasonable.
And just before this, they had been boasting in front of Zhu Guifen about how well they knew the Qi Family. Now, look at them, embarrassed right in front of Zhu Guifen and the others. If the people they knew so well treated them like this, what else could they hope for?
Elder Jiu lightly tapped the table and chuckled, "Brother Qee is absolutely right. When young people set out to do business, they must rely on genuine talent and cannot always depend on their family background. When will they ever stand on their own two feet if they don’t? If they lack ability, they need to train, not run back to their families crying and screaming, asking for revenge. They’re not children anymore, why act so immaturely in doing things?"
Elder Hee also had an extrely ugly look on his face; there was no doubt that their reason for coming here was no longer achievable. Continuing this fuss, they might even end up at a disadvantage!
"What you’re saying is nothing but nonsense!" Elder Zhou, unable to restrain himself any longer, slamd the table and rose to his feet, "You are from the Qi Family of Wanhu, a Martial Family with innurable masters and full of secret manuals. The people from the Qi Family, which one of them is weak? Among their peers, your people are always far ahead; how could my grandson ever compete with the Qi Family? All you’re saying is that you don’t plan to deal with this matter and you intend to shield your Qi Family mber!"
Elder Qee also stood up, looking at Elder Zhou with a sarcastic smile, "Brother Zhou, I treat you as a friend, but that doesn’t an you can shout and scream in my Qi Family of Wanhu. This is Lake Heart Island, the territory of my Qi Family. You may disrespect , but you should at least respect my Qi Family. What, are you not taking my Qi Family seriously?"
The Zhou Family mbers behind him all changed their expressions; daring to disregard the Qi Family was a death wish!
Elder Zhou was about to speak again when a man behind hurriedly said, "Dad, Uncle Qi actually has a point. Young people need to experience setbacks and grow from them. Besides, ’no fight no acquaintance,’ this might be a chance for everyone to beco friends and possibly work together in the future."
Elder Zhou’s expression changed instantly as he pointed at the man and shouted in anger, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your nephew has been beaten so bad he’ll be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and you’re not standing up for him, talking about ’no fight no acquaintance’? What’s wrong with you? Are you going to thank the Qi Family for breaking your nephew’s arms and legs?"
The Zhou Family man looked embarrassed but still stiffened his neck and said, "Dad, after all, this is the Qi Family’s place. Since we ca here, we should show them enough respect. Shouting and screaming like this is really inappropriate!"
Elder Zhou was even more furious and began cursing at the man.
Elder Qee and Elder Jiu stood by with arms crossed and faces full of sneers. Such scenarios often occurred in the Qi Family.
Those who supposedly ca to the Qi Family to demand an explanation would eventually be intimidated by a few words from them and wilt right away, creating internal conflicts among themselves. In the end, the matter would fizzle out, and the Qi Family mbers would continue their way as if nothing happened. Even more, these people would beco even more timid afterward, no longer daring to oppose the Qi Family.
In recent years, the Qi Family had deliberately sent out their young mbers to expand their influence in all directions. In truth, the Qi Family was backing them from behind, and those who ca to demand justice were only humiliating themselves!
The Zhou and Ho families were unaware of such dealings, and sure enough, they began to argue among themselves. Elder Zhou and Elder Hee were trembling with rage, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they were small families, no match for the Qi Family. A few words of intimidation and their descendants imdiately shrank away, not daring to provoke the Qi Family any longer.
After watching for a while, Elder Qee said with a faint smile, "Brother Zhou, it seems that your own kin don’t fully support what you’re doing. You should sort out your thoughts on this matter, and then we can talk. I have so other matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you company any longer. Let’s et up so other ti when we’re free!"
Elder Jiu was also about to speak when a group of people entered from outside, led by Qi Shun’an.
"It was him!" As soon as Qi Shun’an entered, he imdiately pointed at Su Yang and exclaid loudly, "Just now, it was he who injured five of our Qi Family mbers outside!"
Everyone’s gaze turned to Su Yang, including Elders Qee and Jiu, as well as the Zhou and Ho families.
The Zhou and Ho families, who had been arguing just monts ago, abruptly stopped their quarrel and looked over, all with a gossipy attitude.
They had co to seek an explanation, and this was how the Qi Family treated them. How then would Su Yang fare after injuring mbers of the Qi Family?
The leader of the group that had just arrived was a man in his twenties, handso indeed but with a hint of wickedness in his eyes. He walked over, sized up Su Yang from head to toe without a word, and then gestured with a wave of his hand, "Hit him!"
A few n from behind him charged forward, heading aggressively toward Su Yang.
Hu Yong’s expression changed, and he hurried to help, but the captain beside him held him back.
"Are you insane? Can’t you see who these people are?" the captain said anxiously, "These are all Qi Family people, all masters! Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"But I can’t just let him stand there alone; he’s my comrade!" Hu Yong said urgently.
"No worries!" Su Yang smiled at Hu Yong, "Stand back. I can handle this."
Hu Yong was stunned. Wasn’t Su Yang being too confident? But they were on Lake Heart Island, not in the Qi Family’s outer courtyard; how could Su Yang’s confidence be of any use here?
Surrounded by several aggressive n, Su Yang remained calm and asked the young man, "You’re Qi Linfeng?"
The young man’s face turned icy, "That’s right, your father, !"
"Good," Su Yang chuckled. "You tarnished Zhu Guifen’s daughter; do you admit to this or not?"
Qi Linfeng’s face turned icy with rage, "Who the hell are you questioning? I never did such a thing; you’re trying to fra . I’ll pull out your tongue in a bit and see if you keep trying to sar !"
With that, Qi Linfeng looked angrily at the n, "What are you standing there for? Get on with it!"
However, none of the n moved; they all stood in place as if their facial expressions were frozen, as though ti had stopped completely.
This was Su Yang’s doing, using his overwhelming power to completely restrain these n, making them utterly unable to move an inch, just like several puppet
