Demon City.
Inside a luxurious manor.
Two handso young n sat opposite each other, each with a graceful and charming lady nestled in his arms, playing coy with a shy blush.
One of them was a scion of the Demon City Qin Family, Qin Wei!
The other man, though dressed casually, exuded an overbearing aura that made it difficult for others to look him in the eye.
The man opposite Qin Wei gave him an inexplicable look, gently patting the thigh of the woman in his arms, and said with an elegant air, "Alright, you may leave us."
After everyone had left, the man took a sip of red wine, swirling the glass as he asked, "How are things being handled in River City?"
"How else could they be!" Qin Wei’s expression turned grim as he snorted coldly. "Qin Youwei and Qin Li, those two incompetents, couldn’t even handle such a simple matter!"
"Hmph, if it weren’t for my uncle’s orders, I would’ve strangled that Qin Youwei myself!" Qin Wei’s face was a mask of displeasure.
The young man frowned. "What? River City refused?"
Qin Wei nodded, humiliated and enraged. "Not only did they refuse, that brat even killed Qin Li!"
"If I had known, I would have gone to River City myself! He’s just so trash from a backwater town. What waves could he possibly make against my Qin Family!"
"Handle it as soon as possible!" the young man commanded. "The elder in my family has already announced that the grand wedding ceremony will take place in three days!"
Qin Wei’s expression changed. "So soon?"
"It’s been this long. How could we not be in a hurry?" the young man said coldly. "If you hadn’t failed to handle things properly, the Qin Family would have already sent that woman over."
"Please, be sure to go back and tell him that we will definitely handle this matter with haste!" Qin Wei guaranteed. "The marriage alliance between our two families will absolutely not be affected in any way."
The young man nodded in satisfaction. "It’s good that you understand. Rember, this marriage alliance is an opportunity for both of our families! Whether or not your Qin Family’s candidate gets chosen depends on this."
Qin Wei’s expression grew incredibly solemn. "I understand!"
The young man nodded and stood up to leave.
"Oh, and one more thing," he said, suddenly stopping. "If you can’t resolve it, my Han Family will intervene personally."
"But by then..."
The young man left his sentence unfinished, but Qin Wei’s complexion had already drained of color.
If the Han Family really has to intervene, wouldn’t our plans be ruined? If my uncle isn’t chosen, the impact on the Qin Family will be catastrophic.
Thinking of this, Qin Wei dared not delay any longer and shouted, "Prepare the car! I must return at once!"
「The Demon City Qin Family!」
The Qin Family held a pivotal position in Demon City and had been listed among the prestigious families for many years. If it were rely a matter of wealth, one could find hundreds of such families, but the Qin Family ranked in the top five. This was for no other reason than the fact that they had a Heavenly Ranking Grandmaster in their midst: Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan was the youngest scion of the Qin Family’s third generation, so he was referred to as ’Youngest Uncle’ by the family mbers, even though many in the younger generations were, in fact, much older than him. In terms of status, however, they were leagues below him. The reason, of course, was that Qin Chuan was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, ranked twelfth on the list! Throughout all of Demon City, such an achievent was one in ten thousand.
With Qin Chuan present, the Qin Family’s status had always been secure, and no one dared to provoke them.
But at this mont, the atmosphere within the Qin Family’s main hall was tense.
"You’re saying Qin Li was really killed by that man?" The Qin Clan Chief, Qin Jianlin, frowned at Qin Youwei, his expression turning icy.
"Yes." Qin Youwei lowered his head and said, "That Lin Mu is unbelievably brazen. He not only killed Qin Li but also boasted that he would co to Demon City to fetch that bitch!"
"Hmph!" Before Qin Jianlin could speak, a Clan Elder slamd his hand on the table. "The audacity! He dares to kill a disciple of our Qin Family? Is the River City Qin Family not afraid of being annihilated?!"
The Qin Family controlled nearly half of Demon City and had countless experts in its ranks. With their formidable backers, who would dare to disrespect them? Forget so good-for-nothing cast out years ago; not even the most prominent of Demon City’s prestigious families would dare to slight the Qin Family.
"Third Grandpa, that is what happened," Qin Youwei said, his face flush with indignant fury. "That Lin Mu is outrageously arrogant. He not only slapped my face but also killed Qin Li. He’s truly courting death!"
"Hmph, a re live-in son-in-law dares to kill a disciple of our Qin Family? Does he really think we’re afraid to kill?" Qin Jianlin’s cold gaze swept over the crowd. "What are your thoughts on this matter?"
"My thoughts? We’ll execute him, of course, to restore the honor of our Qin Family!"
"Didn’t he say he’s coming to Demon City to get his woman? We’ll just wait for him to arrive and kill him then!"
"That’s right!"
Everyone in the hall was seething with rage.
"By the way, besides that good-for-nothing, what did that Lin Wudi say?" Qin Jianlin asked. "Is he willing to beco a slave to our Qin Family?"
"Well..." Qin Youwei trembled slightly, as if recalling an unpleasant mory.
"Speak!" Qin Jianlin was extrely displeased.
Qin Youwei said hurriedly, "Father, that Lin Wudi... he also killed two of our Qin Family’s Elders!"
"What?"
The crowd was stunned, their eyes blazing with fury. The two Elders of the Qin Family were first-rate masters. And they were killed by this Lin Wudi? Where did he get such courage?
"Are you telling the truth?"
Qin Youwei nodded. "Although I didn’t get a clear look at his face, countless international assassins sward River City that day to kill Lin Wudi. Besides him, no one else could have killed mbers of our Qin Family."
Recalling that night, Qin Youwei’s body trembled. "He also said... that the Qin Family should give up any hope, for he would soon co to Demon City and annihilate our entire clan!"
"What nerve!" Qin Jianlin laughed in fury. "A re live-in son-in-law and a self-important minor Grandmaster. Where do they get the guts to oppose my Qin Family!"
He slamd his hand on the table. "If he dares to co, he will be annihilated without a trace!"
"The Clan Leader is right!"
"To be noticed by our Qin Family is a blessing he’s accumulated over lifetis. Since he doesn’t know how to cherish it, then he shall be killed!"
Qin Jianlin nodded. "We will set this matter aside for now. The Han Family has sent word that in three days, they will welco Qin Luoli into their family."
"So soon?" soone asked. "But that bitch is resolute. She refuses to agree!"
"It’s not up to her! She has to agree, whether she wants to or not!" Glancing at the crowd, Qin Jianlin said in a stern voice, "The old master has spoken. If this succeeds, our Qin Family will prosper for another hundred years!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall grew excited. They all knew what success in this matter truly ant.
「anwhile, a piece of news spread throughout Demon City.」
Lin Wudi would soon arrive in Demon City... to slay Qin Chuan!
As the news broke, the world was shaken
