Luo Changyao's expression was tense, his fingers trembling uncontrollably. The elder behind him, whose pupils had long since contracted to pinpoints, was shaking from head to toe. The rapidly falling snow, pushed back by the force of his aura, could not even get close to his body.
BOOM!
Chen Yang stomped his foot again.
Before everyone's eyes, cracks as thick as an arm spiderwebbed crazily across the floor in all directions.
Everyone: "..."
Who in the world is this divine being?!
Luo Changyao looked down in horror at the splintering floorboards beneath him. The hair on his body stood on end, and his throat went dry and tight, leaving him so panicked he didn't know what to do.
Just then, Luo Yunhai, who was walking over from the backyard, happened to witness this very scene. His right hand, hanging naturally at his side, trembled involuntarily. His face turned exceptionally grim. He had worried all night, and what was fated to co had finally arrived.
anwhile, all the Fist Masters who had been hired at great expense, many of them prestigious figures, fell into a collective silence. So even lowered their heads slightly, afraid of being noticed.
「This morning.」
As the various experts had arrived, everyone had been brimming with confidence. With such a formidable lineup, they believed that even a god-sent warrior descending from the heavens would have to submit. But now…
What is this situation? It was just one young man, but with a few steps, he had shaken the entire premises. No one dared to make a sound, let alone try to stop him.
The dense vapor, battered by the wind and snow, gradually dissipated into nothingness. Chen Yang stood outside the front hall and swept a cool gaze over the Luo family guards, who were arranged in a defensive formation, and the so-called top Fist Masters. As a gust of wind blew past, his eyes, deep and fathomless as an abyss, remained perfectly still.
"Are you all going to co at at once, or will you pretend you don't see and keep standing there?" Chen Yang asked.
Luo Yunhai: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Such blatant arrogance! Luo Yunhai himself had already appeared, yet this man was still acting so outrageously defiant. Did he have any regard for Luo Yunhai, or the entire Luo Family?
"You... You're insolent! Don't you know where you are? How dare you be so presumptuous?!" Luo Changyao demanded coldly after taking a deep breath.
The man was already at their doorstep, practically stepping on their faces. As one of the heads of the Luo Family, how could he feign ignorance? Besides, this fellow was still wet behind the ears. Even if he had so skill, he had no right to cause trouble at the Luo residence. With so many masters gathered today, he, Luo Changyao, feared no one. There's strength in numbers, enough to overwhelm any single master.
And how many people does he have with him? There's nothing to fear at all!
"Shut up!" Luo Yunhai snapped, but his sharp, bone-chilling words were aid at his own son.
Luo Changyao was stunned. "Father, you..."
"I told you to shut up!" Luo Yunhai shouted as he strode over.
SMACK.
He slapped his son across the face. Under the watchful eyes of the entire crowd, Luo Changyao staggered back a few steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was happening?
As for Luo Changyao, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over him, extinguishing the flas of his rage and allowing his rationality to gradually return. Then, his heart lurched.
He... he is...
He had never seen the Forr Chief Military Commander before, and consud by his earlier anger, he hadn't made the connection. But now…
Isn't Father's reaction enough to prove it?
"Utter one more stupid word, and I'll kill you myself," Luo Yunhai said, his eyes cold. He knew better than anyone that confronting Chen Yang head-on would only lead to a faster death. The priority now was to stall for ti until the people from the Southern Polar Royal Family arrived. The slightest misstep today could bring ruin upon the entire Luo Family.
Luo Changyao took a few deep breaths and nodded obediently.
The surrounding crowd, however, was staring wide-eyed, completely bewildered. They couldn't understand it. This was Luo Yunhai, a man whose word was law, who had always been forceful and had never known how to back down. What was happening to him? When had the mighty Luo Family ever been so humiliated?
"I... I..."
Liu Jun, the only outsider standing in the center with the Luo family, was caught in a dilemma.
"Uh, I misspoke! I'm sorry, I apologize," Liu Jun said, watching Chen Yang approach. He wasn't an idiot. How could he not see that Qin Hao was with this man? If even Luo Yunhai didn't dare to make a peep, what could he possibly do?
"Just misspoke?" Qin Hao sneered, then turned to wait for Chen Yang to arrive.
Liu Jun: "..."
In truth, everyone was waiting for Chen Yang to make his move. Luo Yunhai appeared calm, but his hands, clasped behind his back, were trembling uncontrollably. As for Liu Jun, who had no business standing there, he was shivering violently. His face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat stread down like a waterfall.
The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive, yet tinged with an eerie strangeness. For a ti, the vast courtyard was filled only with the howling of the wind and snow. The candles flickered, their faint fragrance lingering in the air. The funeral bell, at so point, had also stopped tolling. The portrait of Luo Chen in the morial hall—personally selected by Luo Yunhai—seed to carry a confident smile through the curling smoke. A ring of white chrysanthemums still exuded its scent. The entire venue was deathly silent.
Apart from a select few, the vast majority had no idea who this young man with such an overwhelming presence was.
"My guess is that this newcor is the Forr Chief Military Commander."
"It has to be. He's the one who killed Luo Chen."
Barely audible whispers began to ripple through the crowd. This caused the various masters who had been invited to break out in a cold sweat, the hair on their bodies standing on end. So even began cursing Luo Yunhai for dragging them into this ss.
"Who is he?"
Ultimately, it was Chen Yang who broke the nearly frozen tension. He glanced at Liu Jun and asked Qin Hao nonchalantly.
"A re clown," Qin Hao said, briefly recounting what Liu Jun had done.
His words struck like a thunderclap, scaring Liu Jun out of his wits.
"I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking straight! I apologize, I admit my mistake," Liu Jun babbled, starting to kneel.
Chen Yang raised a hand to his chin. Before Liu Jun could drop to his knees, he gestured lightly with his other hand, as if shooing away an annoying fly. His motion was deliberate and unhurried.
BOOM!
Liu Jun was launched into the air like a kite with a snapped string, crashing to the ground seven or eight ters away.
Every single person present shuddered, sucking in a sharp breath. They stared at Liu Jun, who lay motionless, his status unknown.
"Li, take another look. Is there anyone else here who tried to lure you to the hotel?" Chen Yang asked with a faint smile, his gaze fixed on Luo Yunhai.
"Him too!" Sun Xiaoli pointed to a chubby young man in the crowd.
"I…" the chubby man began, trying to explain.
SNAP.
Chen Yang flicked his fingers.
Luo Yunhai: "..."
Everyone: "..."
"..."
