Can it really be done this way?

Suddenly, Su Jie was furious, feeling as if he was about to explode.

"Bastard, bastard!"

In his anger, Su Jie raged: "Ye Xuan, you’re dead, you’re finished! Even if the King himself comes, he won’t be able to save you!"

"If I can’t be saved, so be it. I don’t want to live anyway."

Ye Xuan shrugged indifferently, lit a cigarette, and smoked leisurely, his face full of relaxation.

His demeanor was just like someone who had given up on treatment.

Su Jie’s face was grim, his whole face almost twisted, glaring angrily at Ye Xuan. If his legs weren’t broken, he would definitely fight Ye Xuan to the death.

This brat was too strange, as if he were like cotton, ignoring Su Jie’s rage, seemingly mocking him from the depths of his heart!

Just you wait, you’ll see!

...

An hour, not too fast, not too slow.

It’s relative.

For Su Jie and the severely injured, even one minute felt as long as a year.

Sure enough, after sitting on the yellow earth for an hour, most of them were drenched in sweat from the pain, and a few with less willpower had already fainted.

It was an unbearable sight.

Luckily, all this suffering was not in vain.

Just as Su Jie was about to faint, he finally saw familiar figures approaching rapidly, instantly revitalizing him.

"Brother Bao, Brother Bao!"

Su Jie shouted towards them: "Help, come quickly, or you’ll lose me, your godson!"

Su Jie’s call broke the peace and ignited the tension in the air. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

All eyes turned towards the incoming group, causing the workers to shrink back, while Su Jie and his comrades felt invigorated.

Ye Xuan also looked on with interest.

What entered Ye Xuan’s view was a gang of about seven or eight people, led by a middle-aged man who, despite his average appearance, exuded a natural authority.

People with such presence were usually influential figures.

Behind the middle-aged man were uniformly muscular men, each emanating a murderous aura, indicating they were trained fighters.

"With a group of experts like this, success is almost inevitable."

Ye Xuan chuckled to himself, knowing without being told that the middle-aged man must be the legendary Brother Bao.

Soon enough, Brother Bao hurried over with his crew.

Seeing the sorry state of Su Jie and others, Brother Bao frowned: "Two broken legs and you’re making such a fuss? What’s going on here?"

"Godfather, it hurts!"

Su Jie complained, pointing at Ye Xuan and cursing: "It was this guy, he broke our legs!"

"Oh?"

Brother Bao turned to see Ye Xuan alone, and was puzzled: "Just him?"

"Yes, just him!" Su Jie said, "Godfather, don’t underestimate him, he fights well!"

While saying this, Su Jie gave Ye Xuan a mocking grin, as if to say: Boy, with Brother Bao here, you’re done for!

Brother Bao nodded, surveying Ye Xuan with deep eyes, then spoke with a frown: "Little brother, in our line of work, we emphasize loyalty and reason. However you look at it, beating my people like this is not justifiable, right?"

The musclemen behind Brother Bao were already itching to act, glaring at Ye Xuan with killing intent.

The workers behind Ye Xuan were terribly frightened, even Su Qinian felt a bit panicked; he never imagined things would escalate this much.

Only Ye Xuan himself remained unaffected.

He smoked gently, shrugging with indifference: "Loyalty is your concern, reason is everyone’s concern, but with people like Su Jie, I’m not interested in reasoning."

"You arrogant brat!"

"Outrageous, do you know who you’re talking to?"

"Courting death!"

"..."

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the henchmen behind Brother Bao couldn’t hold back, cursing and ready to fight.

Su Jie laughed gleefully at their reactions.

But the seasoned and cunning Brother Bao waved his hand to stop the conflict.

Brother Bao looked deeply at Ye Xuan, asking: "May I ask for your name, little brother?"

"Just an insignificant name, not worth mentioning." Ye Xuan smiled faintly: "If you want to fight, let’s fight, I’m eager to finish my business and go home."

Brother Bao frowned deeply, his gaze toward Ye Xuan turning icy Cold.

In all his years in the underworld, no one had ever dared to treat him like this.

Just then.

Su Jie loudly said: "Godfather, his name is Ye Xuan, he told me himself just now!"

The intention behind Su Jie’s remark was clear, he wanted Brother Bao to know who Ye Xuan was, knowing Brother Bao’s temper, who might decide to punish Ye Xuan’s entire family if he was displeased.

Ye Xuan probably didn’t dare reveal his name, fearing repercussions for his family.

Unbeknownst to him.

Upon hearing the name Ye Xuan, Brother Bao’s expression changed completely.

Life is like that, sometimes you’re in heaven, sometimes you’re in hell.

Suddenly, Brother Bao was in shock, marveling at the bizarre turns of life.

No wonder the moment he saw Ye Xuan, he felt he’d seen him somewhere before.

It turned out to be Ye Xuan!

A towering figure across the entire Jianghai Region, even making waves in Yan Country, crushing Wang Shaoyang, obliterating the Wang Family, a truly giant figure!

Honestly, Li Haibao knew he wasn’t qualified to meet someone of such stature; the only time he’d seen him was in a photograph.

Why were there photographs?

Because too many have fallen to Ye Xuan recently, particularly those in the Jianghai Area, making everyone uneasy.

To avoid the fate of being cannon fodder, most figures in Jianghai had memorized Ye Xuan’s appearance, to avoid blundering into a disastrous situation someday.

Brother Bao was no exception.

But he never thought in this life he’d meet the legendary Master Ye, so he hardly remembered and eventually forgot.

Who’d have thought he’d truly encounter him today.

If Su Jie hadn’t revealed Ye Xuan’s name, in just one more minute, Li Haibao would have walked straight into Purgatory!

Realizing all this, Li Haibao felt like he might wet himself from fear.

For a moment, Li Haibao stared at Ye Xuan, cold sweat pouring from his forehead in terror, though he’d faced many storms in his life, at this instant, he was so tongue-tied he couldn’t speak.
