Unexpectedly, Mr. Li was so gentle, even Wang Shan and his wife were envious. After all, there probably aren’t many people who can be treated so gently by Mr. Li. At this moment, the others were very jealous.

Even Wang Shan and his wife couldn’t meet Old Master Xiao alone, yet this madman could.

Wang Shan and his wife felt that if they stayed any longer, they’d drown in saliva, so they got up and left.

The security, seeing it was Wang Shan and his wife, didn’t even ask for an invitation.

The butler was already busy today, and with the arrival of some big figures, he forgot about what Old Master Xiao had told him.

Just then, a couple came in, and Old Master Xiao looked around but didn’t see Xu Ke.

"Why hasn’t that child come yet? Is he angry with me?"

Upon hearing Old Master Xiao, the butler finally came to his senses. He’d been too busy to pay attention to Xu Ke and had forgotten to send him an invitation card. This was a disaster.

He hurriedly slapped his thigh, disregarded everyone else, and ran outside.

Old Master Xiao shook his head—perhaps there was too much going on recently that the butler forgot.

The butler ran to the entrance, panting. People were shocked, wondering what could make the butler so anxious.

People looked over, and some who were gossip-loving even followed the butler to the entrance. Upon arrival, the scene was quite grand.

Wang Shan stood beside Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, these young people today don’t know how to read a situation. Don’t take it to heart. How about I escort you inside and let security handle matters here?"

Upon hearing this, the security was terrified. They had already witnessed Xu Ke’s skills. So they exchanged glances and, together with the bodyguards who came with Wang Shan, approached, making it too late for the butler to stop them.

The security and bodyguards here were all highly skilled. Take Xu Ke, for example, a single bodyguard here could probably handle three or four adults. At this moment, the butler was extremely worried, but others were secretly rejoicing, feeling a strange comfort in their hearts.

But Mr. Li frowned, quickly pulling Wang Shan: "Shouldn’t you quickly stop them? These bodyguards are armed, and if someone gets hurt, it won’t be good."

However, Wang Shan acted as if he didn’t hear, feeling immensely pleased to see Xu Ke suffering.

The butler quickly pushed through the thick crowd, only to see that all 10-plus bodyguards and security personnel were laid out by Xu Ke, with many lying on the ground.

The crowd: "..."

Didn’t they say the security at the banquet was particularly formidable? How could they all be taken down by this man in an instant? This is too unrealistic.

Wang Shan began to doubt his own eyes. His bodyguards have accompanied him on many trips, blocking thousands of fans, yet they were taken out by a young man here. How was he going to save face?

Had he not been there, he would have suspected these bodyguards held back deliberately. But now there was no reason. These bodyguards fought earnestly, fearing they might lose.

What was to be done now? This might make the news tomorrow.

At this moment, his expression was awkward, trying to force a smile but couldn’t.

The bodyguards and security were indeed terrified; they might lose their jobs. Had they known, they wouldn’t have acted impulsively.

The butler initially feared Xu Ke might suffer losses, his heart racing. Xu Ke was, after all, a savior to the Xiao Family. If anything happened to him, the master would surely be furious, but unexpectedly, Xu Ke laid them all out. It felt unbelievable, and he quickly pushed someone aside to approach Xu Ke.

Meanwhile, Wang Shan thought the butler was reprimanding Xu Ke, feeling quite pleased.

He felt superior and approached the butler.

"This person is too much, it seems our bodyguards can’t handle him. We should just call someone else so as not to hold everyone up."

After saying this, Wang Shan even pointed at Xu Ke: "Aren’t you leaving already? Didn’t you see? This is the Xiao Family’s butler. Don’t get yourself into more trouble, or you’ll be embarrassed later. Leave quickly."

Seeing Xu Ke about to act again, if not for a bodyguard blocking in front of Wang Shan, his finger might not have survived. Xu Ke coldly stared at the relieved Wang Shan: "You’re the one who should move aside!"

The butler didn’t care about Wang Shan. He only knew Xu Ke was the Xiao Family’s benefactor and deserved the best treatment.

Wang Shan, feeling triumphant after speaking, didn’t expect the butler to walk to Xu Ke and bow.

Everyone else was stunned, but they reassured themselves that perhaps the butler was just being polite to Xu Ke.

Even Wang Shan was taken aback by the butler’s courtesy.

But what the butler said next made Wang Shan want to crawl into a hole. Why was the butler so courteous?

"Mr. Xu Ke, it’s really you. I’m sorry, I’ve been entertaining guests inside and forgot about this matter. You weren’t hurt just now, were you?"

The butler spoke as he made way: "Please come in quickly. You’ve suffered again this time, but rest assured, anyone who opposes Mr. Xu Ke is an enemy of the Xiao Family."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s heart skipped a beat. Who would’ve thought this ordinary-looking young man had such a deep connection with the Xiao Family?

And the butler seemed to be backing Xu Ke. They all offended Xu Ke just now, and realizing this, they started to panic. But with so many of them, it didn’t matter much; only the Wang Shan couple might be embarrassed today.

At this moment, Wang Shan’s face turned blue and red, having considered many possibilities, but never expecting this.

The butler’s words were essentially a slap to his face in front of everyone. He opened his mouth, tasting bitterness, but after so long in the entertainment circle, Wang Shan knew how to conduct himself.

Pretending ignorance, he quickly walked to Xu Ke’s side, thinking Xu Ke must be a big shot to be treated this way by the Xiao Family’s butler, so he should be more cautious now.

"Oh dear, I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect this. I hope you don’t take it to heart, and I only asked you to leave because that’s what I heard others say. How about we have a drink together and pretend this never happened, okay?"

Wang Shan thought his generous offer would make Xu Ke give him face, being an old actor in the entertainment circle. But to his surprise, Xu Ke outright refused.
