Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Even More Stubborn Than Me!

"Get lost!" Yang Qi said coldly.

Tang Wenqiang turned and ran, not planning to take anything with him.

"Stop right there!"

At Yang Qi’s shout, Tang Wenqiang shuddered in fear.

"Take your so-called betrothal gifts and those two corpses, and get out!" Yang Qi commanded.

"Yes, yes! What are you all staring at? Move it!" Tang Wenqiang yelled. His men, scared out of their wits, hurriedly loaded the corpses and betrothal gifts into the car and fled in a panic.

They were as arrogant as they came and just as pathetic as they left.

Tang Wenqiang was gone, but the Zhao Family was engulfed in mourning. Zhao Haishan and Wang Junru’s faces were ashen. Everyone wore an expression of utter despair.

We’ve offended the Tang Family, a terrifying power like the Tang Family of Sea City. Can the Zhao Family possibly survive this? It’s a dead end!

"What’s all this crying about? Is this a wake?" Yang Qi said coldly. "Rest assured, I did this, so I’ll take responsibility for it. If the Tang Family comes, I’ll deal with them. Stop your damn crying!"

"Young man, you truly don’t understand how terrifying the Tang Family is to make such reckless remarks!" Zhao Haishan shook his head. "Forget it. What’s done is done. I will do everything I can, use all my connections to resolve this. Sigh, otherwise, the Zhao Family won’t be able to escape this calamity! Don’t get your hopes up. The Tang Family of Sea City is beyond anything you can imagine. All we can do now is try to preserve the Zhao Family’s roots and let the younger generation escape first."

"Dad, Mom, this started because of us. We are willing to share the responsibility with the Zhao Family," Zhao Huan said, biting her lip.

"What does this have to do with you? Hurry up, take Qianqian, and go back to Kang City. And never come back. This is our problem, it has nothing to do with you," Zhao Haishan scolded.

Although his words were harsh, Zhao Huan could hear the care in his voice. From the moment Zhao Haishan had stepped in to help them, she realized her father wasn’t truly heartless; as the Family Head of the Zhao Family, many things were simply beyond his control.

"We’re not leaving," Zhao Huan said stubbornly.

"Fine, don’t leave! Just stay here and wait for death with the rest of us!" Zhao Haishan sighed, utterly exasperated.

"No one is going to die, don’t worry!" Yang Qi said with a laugh before turning to leave. Since he had started this, he had to see it through to the end.

「At White Mountain Manor, Lei Qingtian and the others were all there.」

"There isn’t a meeting today, is there? What are you all doing here?" Yang Qi asked with a wry smile. "Elder Lei, are you here to practice Martial Arts too?"

"We were worried about you going there alone," Lei Qingtian said with a bitter smile. "Have the Tang Family’s people left? Did they call off the engagement?"

"Left? I wouldn’t exactly say that. I slaughtered Tang Wu and Tang Chuan. Tang Wenqiang left with just his men. I don’t know about the engagement, but I’m guessing the Tang Family of Sea City will now consider me a thorn in their side," Yang Qi laughed.

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but gasp, their faces turning pale.

It’s over. He really went and did it. This boss of ours truly has no fear.

"Boss, you actually slaughtered Tang Chuan and Tang Wu! That’s insane!" Chen Guo exclaimed, his whole body trembling with fear.

Yang Qi said calmly, "They attacked first. I was only acting in self-defense. If scum like that aren’t eliminated, they’ll just keep harming innocent people. The Zhao Family had me here this time, but most families don’t."

Lei Qingtian frowned and said suddenly, "Mr. Yang, I’ll arrange a private plane for you. You need to leave Jingnan Prefecture now. Go abroad and avoid this bloody calamity."

"A bloody calamity? Do you think so little of me?" Yang Qi said with a smile.

Lei Qingtian shook his head. "It’s not that I look down on you. I know you’re exceptionally talented and powerful, but the Tang Family of Sea City is different. You can’t afford to offend them right now!"

Yang Qi smiled. "Elder Lei, you’re still the same as ever, you don’t believe in me. But it doesn’t matter. I can’t leave. If I were alone, I’d be gone already, but I have people I care about now. If I leave, the Tang Family would dare to wipe out the Zhao Family. My godparents and sister are there. How can you ask me to leave?"

Lei Qingtian was stunned. That was indeed a problem. He wanted to offer his protection, but he knew he couldn’t deliver. If the Tang Family of Sea City went on a rampage, they wouldn’t care that he was the Prefecture Master of Jingnan.

"Alright, I know you all mean well, but there’s no need to worry so much," Yang Qi said. "If you’re afraid of being implicated, you can leave the Star Shining Society immediately or sever ties with me. I won’t consider it a betrayal this time. After all, it was my stubborn decision to provoke the Tang Family. I can’t let my sister fall into a pit of fire."

"Boss, saying that is insulting! We might be afraid of the Tang Family of Sea City, but since you’ve decided to fight them, we’ll risk our lives to stand with you!" Ye Feng said, gritting his teeth. "Besides, the cultivation conditions here at White Mountain Manor are incredible. I feel like I’m about to have a breakthrough, so I can’t bear to leave!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Don’t even think of ditching this old man. Although I can’t defeat the Tang Family of Sea City, they wouldn’t dare to touch me easily either!" Lei Qingtian declared.

"Chen Guo, Yao Ran, you two don’t have to get mixed up in this. You’re just doctors. All you need to do is publicly clarify you have nothing to do with me," Yang Qi added.

"Are you asking us to back down? Don’t forget, we’re core members of the Star Shining Society too. Don’t say things like that!" Chen Guo and Yao Ran said, shaking their heads.

"And you call me stubborn? You guys are even more stubborn than I am!" Yang Qi said, shaking his head. "Fine, if you’re not leaving, you’re not leaving. Don’t worry. I will definitely survive. The Tang Family of Sea City? What do they amount to? They’re not worthy of being compared to me!" Yang Qi laughed, brimming with confidence.

"Right. Since you’re all here, there’s another important matter we need to handle. We should discuss it thoroughly," Yang Qi said suddenly.

"An important matter?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"I’m preparing to consolidate the Four Sects and Six Families of Thunder City! I plan to meet with them, and that includes the man they call the King of Jingnan." Yang Qi’s lips curled into a smirk. He intended to turn Thunder City into an impregnable fortress before the Tang Family of Sea City could arrive.

This meant taking down all of the Four Sects and Six Families.

Currently, the Thunder Sect had been annihilated. The Kong Family, Lei Family, Chen Family, and Zhao Family could be considered aligned with him, albeit to varying degrees. However, the Wang Family, Yan Family, Wind Control Sect, Black Wolf Sect, and Seven Swords Sect were still either hostile or neutral. This time, he had to catch them all in one fell swoop.

He believed he had the power to do so.

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished. Yang Qi really wasn’t taking the Tang Family of Sea City seriously at all, was he? Otherwise, how could he possibly go and provoke the King of Jingnan and the other powers of Thunder City right after making an enemy of the Tang Family?
