"Okay, now it’s time to pay up, bring out the 50 million."

Ye Luo glanced at Mu Jianchun and Wang Tiancheng, saying indifferently.

Instantly, the expressions of Mu Jianchun and Wang Tiancheng changed, especially Wang Tiancheng, whose face looked particularly ugly.

"Kid, don’t go too far."

Mu Jianchun’s eyes flickered with a blood-red glow as he stared intently at Ye Luo, his face full of hate.

"What, even the great young master of the Mu Family wants to default on his debts? Everyone here heard what you said earlier. Aren’t you afraid of bringing even more shame to the Mu Family?"

A cold smile curled the corners of Ye Luo’s lips.

"Pay up!"

Mu Jianchun’s eyes swept over Wang Tiancheng and he spat out coldly.

Wang Tiancheng had an expression of helplessness. He didn’t expect that in the end, he would be the one paying a heavy price of 50 million, regretting that he had never believed Ye Luo could win.

"This..."

Wang Tiancheng looked toward Ye Luo, wanting to say that he didn’t have so much money on him.

"Aren’t you the big young master of the Wang Group? Get your father to transfer the money to this card, otherwise, I guarantee you will end up just like those four on the ground today."

Ye Luo pointed to the four Mu Family experts lying on the ground, still unable to move with a Silver Needle sticking out of their chests.

Seeing the state of those four, Wang Tiancheng’s face changed, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. In the end, he had no choice but to call his father and tell him what had happened. Though Wang Quan was so angry he wanted to smash the phone, considering Mu Jianchun’s presence, he ultimately had no choice but to transfer 50 million to that black card of Ye Luo’s.

"Thanks!"

Ye Luo checked the status of the black card online and, seeing an additional 50 million, his lips carried a hint of a smile.

Eventually, Wang Tiancheng and the entourage of Mu Jianchun, including himself, were all taken away by people sent by Chen Baoshan. The banquet hall once again became peaceful, but the guests present were once again shocked by Ye Luo.

Today, not only did he utterly humiliate the young master of the Mu Family, but he also extorted 50 million from him. He was truly incredible, and especially astonishing was his connection with the Jade Girl celebrity Shi Yanran—this was definitely major news.

At this moment, Shi Yanran’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Ye Luo, while Mei Jie quickly walked over and pulled Shi Yanran away.

"Mei Jie, what are you doing?"

Shi Yanran asked, looking at Mei Jie.

"What am I doing? Look at what you’re doing. Do you know if tonight’s events get out, you will be tomorrow’s front-page headline in the entertainment industry? Your reputation as the Jade Girl celebrity will be totally ruined."

Mei Jie said sternly to Shi Yanran.

"If it’s gone, then it’s gone. I don’t care anyway."

Shi Yanran smiled and appeared very nonchalant.

"You wouldn’t really have something to do with that guy, would you? Did you know each other before?"

Mei Jie glanced at Ye Luo, then looked at Shi Yanran with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Oh, Mei Jie, you’re overthinking it. I was just trying to handle Mu Jianchun."

Shi Yanran’s face changed slightly as she quickly said, keeping her true thoughts to herself.

As for Ye Luo, when he returned to his seat, he saw that Ling Qingya was still as cold as ever, and he couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.

"Brother Ye, you’re truly amazing!"

Liu Xiner looked at Ye Luo with eyes full of adoration.

"Ye Luo, you’ve offended two major powers in one day, the Shen Family and the Mu Family. You need to be more careful from now on; I doubt they’ll let this go,"

those old eyes of Liu XiaChuan gazed at Ye Luo, sparkling with shrewd wisdom.

"Thank you for the warning, Elder Liu. If they dare to come after me again, I’ll make sure they learn what ’regret’ truly means,"

Ye Luo said with an air of indifference, his tone thick with confidence.

Liu Shiyun, her almond-shaped eyes shimmering, looked intently at Ye Luo, her thoughts unknown. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The banquet continued, and half an hour later, Shi Yanran was the first to leave for the presidential suite upstairs, giving Ye Luo a nod on her way out, seemingly showing a much improved relationship than before.

"Big Brother Ye, you aren’t really involved with that superstar Shi Yanran, are you?"

Liu Xiner asked with a curious expression.

"That, of course not,"

Ye Luo quickly clarified, casting a discreet glance at Ling Qingya, who seemed to slightly relax her icy demeanor.

At the Jin Hao Hotel, outside Shi Yanran’s presidential suite, Shi Yanran and her entourage arrived. The staff at the door opened it for her, and Shi Yanran, Sister Mei, the old man, and Mingyue entered.

"Miss Yan Ran, please get some rest. We’ll keep watch outside,"

Mingyue and Chen Chen stood before Shi Yanran and said.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work,"

Shi Yanran replied with a smile.

Just then, the lights in the room flickered off, and everything was plunged into darkness.

"What’s going on?"

Mingyue’s eyes narrowed as she scanned the surroundings.

"What... what’s happening?"

Shi Yanran’s face showed a hint of worry.

Swift! Swift! Swift! Swift!

At that moment, four figures suddenly shot out from the room, having concealed their presence and hidden there, taking the opportunity to make their move.

Despite the pitch darkness, the four appeared to have a clear target, rushing towards Shi Yanran.

The guards in the room, caught off guard by the sudden blackout, were slow to react. However, the loyal elder’s eyes focused, a cold light flashing, as he stepped forward.

Bang!

In the darkness, the elder threw a punch as quick as lightning, unaffected by the blackness. His fist slammed hard against one of the figures, sending them flying, then swept a leg to the side, hitting another. With another step, his hands struck like lightning, and the remaining two were also sent flying.

All four were Houtian Peak experts, but in the cover of darkness, the elder effortlessly dispatched them, showing his formidable strength.

Whoosh!

But in that moment, a sharply whistling sound filled the room, and another dark figure burst forth from within the darkness. This figure unleashed a terrifying force, launching a powerful strike at the elder, whose face changed as he spun on the ball of his foot and countered with a palm strike. Both of them were forced to retreat.

Just then, the four figures who had been sent flying earlier rushed in again, heading straight for the anxious and helpless Shi Yanran, who was sitting to the side, unaware of anything in the darkness.
