There's nothing more terrifying than a sudden silence.
Why had the Gan Family been so arrogant before? It was only because they were certain Chen Yang would be crushed by the imperial families and die a swift death, which was why they acted so brazenly.
But who could have predicted that this man, who had simultaneously enraged the West Sea and South Pole imperial families, would still have the strength to co to dicine Capital?
If they had known this beforehand, they wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous, not even if they were a hundred tis bolder.
But now...
Chen Yang neither spoke nor stopped him from making the call. He just stared, a half-smile playing on his lips.
WHOMP!
Gan Yuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His face turned deathly pale in an instant as cold sweat poured down his face. His body, which had been leaning on the table, slid down and slumped heavily to the floor.
"What... what do I do now?" Gan Yuan clutched the phone, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. "Grandpa, save ! You... you have to save !"
Just who is this man before ? The Forr Chief Military Commander, the War God of the State... he annihilated the great families of Cangyun City on a whim and killed mbers of the imperial families without the slightest hesitation. Compared to people like that, what am I? Nothing.
"I can't save you." The voice on the phone was suddenly listless, devoid of any spirit. "Beg him for rcy. Whether you live or die is up to fate now."
Gan Yuan was speechless. Is... is he abandoning ?
BANG!
Without daring to delay, Gan Yuan imdiately dropped to the floor and scrambled over to Chen Yang on his knees, kowtowing hysterically. "I-I'm sorry! I was wrong!" he cried. "I was blind and failed to recognize Your Excellency. Please, be magnanimous and just let off like a fart."
The auctioneer was speechless.
The entire crowd stared in stunned silence.
What... what kind of act is this?! Didn't he just say that if he didn't chop that guy to pieces and feed him to the dogs today, his na wasn't Gan Yuan? In the blink of an eye, it's like he's seen a ghost, and now he's dazedly kowtowing and apologizing? What the hell is going on?!
The sudden turn of events left everyone in the auction hall dumbfounded, completely stunned. The whiplash was too fast, catching them all off guard.
"So, you know who I am now?" Chen Yang asked, looking down with a smile.
Gan Yuan nodded frantically, as if his life depended on it. "I'm so sorry. All of these items today are yours! As for the Xie Family, I will offer compensation. You can na any price you want."
Nearby, Xie Jie's eyes were wide, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist. He shook his head and rubbed his eyes, utterly unable to believe what he was seeing.
That's Gan Yuan, the revered young master of the Xuanse Sect! In this region, he's practically a local emperor, soone no one would ever dare to disrespect. But now, he's kneeling like a dog, begging for rcy in utter terror?
"Give the phone," Chen Yang said.
Gan Yuan didn't dare hesitate and quickly handed it over.
"Co here. You have one hour," Chen Yang said into the silent phone. "Otherwise, I'll have to make a trip to Yuning Mountain myself. You know the consequences, don't you?"
"What... what exactly do you want?" After a long pause, the Gan Family Patriarch's voice trembled. "You... you are no longer the Supre Martial Commander. I advise you not to go too far."
"Rember, you have only one hour."
CLICK.
Chen Yang ended the call and tossed the phone aside.
The hall fell deathly silent.
Lin Hai, who had witnessed the entire spectacle, held his breath and gripped the armrests of his chair, his entire body drenched in cold sweat. He had thrived in dicine Capital for decades and had always prided himself on his high status and influence. But it wasn't until he t Chen Yang that he realized his so-called glory was nothing but a joke. He was nothing more than a frog in a well.
Just look at him. So domineering. With just a few words, even Mr. Gan was forced to his knees in submission.
As he thought about this, a na suddenly struck him.
Chen... Chen Yang?
WHOOSH.
He sprang to his feet, staring at Chen Yang as if he'd seen a ghost.
This... this is that legendary figure? The world has been in turmoil recently, and wasn't the man behind it all the Forr Chief Military Commander, Lord Chen Yang?
Lin Hai never would have dread that he would et the man in person. Recalling his earlier attitude toward Chen Yang, his legs gave out, and he collapsed to the floor. His mind was buzzing and blank; he felt as if his heart was about to explode.
In the deathly silence, the Pill Dragon King finally spoke, turning to Xie Jie. "How do you want to get your revenge?"
"I... I..." Xie Jie was still in a daze, but his fists soon clenched. His eyes gradually turned bloodshot as he gritted his teeth. "I want to kill him!"
"Yang Hu, give him a knife," Chen Yang ordered.
Yang Hu drew his paratrooper knife and handed it to Xie Jie.
Xie Jie gripped the knife tightly, his entire body trembling from the sheer force of his grip. He was a student of dicine; he had never killed anyone.
"If you don't have the guts, I'll do it," the Pill Dragon King said.
"NO!" Xie Jie refused vehently, a defiant fire in his eyes. "He killed my grandfather and my family! I have to kill him with my own hands!"
Gan Yuan's blood ran cold. He almost fainted from sheer terror.
"No, don't kill !" Gan Yuan turned and pleaded with Xie Jie. "I truly know I was wrong! Besides, even if you kill , your grandfather won't co back to life! I can compensate you! I'll give you anything you want, I swear! Please, give another chance! I'll turn over a new leaf, I'll be a new man!"
Yang Hu grinned, baring his teeth. "He's not your dad. He can't wait for you to beco a new man."
Gan Yuan was speechless.
Xie Jie charged forward. Tightly clenching his teeth, he completely lost his sanity, stabbing again and again.
Blood spurted, staining everything around them.
Gan Yuan's eyes bulged with unwillingness as he finally collapsed.
SQUELCH... SQUELCH...
Only when he was completely exhausted, with no strength left, did Xie Jie finally stop. He collapsed onto the floor, covered in blood. Then, tears began to stream down his face. He'd never dread this day would co, that he would get revenge with his own two hands.
"Grandfather, do you see?! I killed our enemy myself! You can rest in peace now!" Xie Jie howled at the sky, tears of sorrow and joy streaming down his face.
The illustrious Mr. Gan... was stabbed to death just like that? Everyone's mind was reeling. They had no idea what was happening, or who this stranger could possibly be. He was just too powerful!
Less than an hour later, Gan Yuda, the Gan Family Patriarch, arrived in a hurry with a group of n.
"Patriarch Gan!"
"Greetings, Family Head."
At the sight of Gan Yuda, more than half of the people present bowed respectfully in greeting. This man was the true master of the entire Yuning Mountain region. Here, he was the emperor.
Just as they expected Gan Yuda to fly into a rage, an astonishing scene unfolded.
Upon walking up to Chen Yang, the Gan Family Patriarch dropped to his knees and bowed reverently. "Your subordinate, Gan Yuda, greets the Supre Martial Commander."
What?
The... Supre Martial Commander?!
The entire hall was struck dumb.
