The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 612 Stepping into the Abyss

The sun rose in the east.

The darkness that had shrouded the earth all night was gradually dispersed by the bright sunlight.

In December, winter’s presence was distinctly pronounced, with a thin layer of frost forming on the grass in the early morning, lending a more desolate and cold character to winter mornings compared to those in summer.

Since Bai Xueling and Li Yaguo arrived at this vast expanse of ruins the day before, they hadn’t stopped for a moment, just continually moving stones.

Bai Xueling was born with a silver spoon in her mouth; Elder Bai had always cherished her as the apple of his eye within the Bais. When had she ever done such exhausting labor? But now she didn’t feel tired at all. She wished she could move all the stones on the ruins away, so eager was she to see Ye Chenfeng.

Many cuts had opened on Bai Xueling’s delicate hands, healing and then reopening again and again. She had always taken great care of her hands, which were very beautiful, but at this moment, she abandoned everything for Ye Chenfeng, completely falling into a state of frenzy.

Bai Xueling’s steps began to wobble, her complexion growing paler, her teeth clenching her red lips tightly, her clothes becoming filthy and disheveled. She thought to herself, "Bai Xueling, you must hold on, you cannot fall."

Li Yaguo, by her side, could tell that Bai Xueling must have been a young lady from a prominent family, but her perseverance shocked him. From the previous day until now, Bai Xueling had not stopped even for a moment. Even a physically robust man wouldn’t be able to keep up, but Bai Xueling had stubbornly persisted. He knew it was Bai Xueling’s love for Ye Chenfeng that sparked her relentless heart.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to take a break? If you keep this up, you might collapse from exhaustion," Li Yaguo said.

Bai Xueling firmly shook her head, "Brother Li, I’m not tired, I can continue."

Hearing this, Li Yaguo sighed inwardly, realizing Bai Xueling wouldn’t rest, and so he continued to move the stones alongside her.

Two hours later.

A dozen military vehicles slowly approached the vast ruins, and twenty or thirty fully armed soldiers from Country M disembarked, with Abert being the last to step down from the vehicle.

Following the military vehicles, four luxurious limousines arrived, and family heads Rister from the Charnoff family, Leonard from the Gambler family, Ma Changsi from the Mister family, and Sydney from the Aitchlan family stepped out one after another.

Standing beside each of the four family heads was a young man—it was Quint, Richard, Shi Kaote, and Virgil! They had immediately insisted on coming along after hearing from their fathers about Li Yaguo’s presence here. If it weren’t for Li Yaguo’s intervention the day before, they might have already indulged in the pleasures of Huaxia Country’s finest beauties.

And now, after Li Yaguo had held a gun to their heads yesterday, they were determined to settle the score, as Li Yaguo no longer had standing in Country M.

Li Yaguo, still moving stones in the ruins, also saw Abert and the others approaching and felt a foreboding sense, his eyes fixed heavily on them. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Meanwhile, Bai Xueling continued to move stones on her own, consumed by a single belief—to clear all these stones away as quickly as possible.

Abert and the others like Rister walked towards the ruins, with Abert wearing a sneer on his face as he barked, "Li Yaguo, who gave you permission to be here? This place has been designated a site of national importance, and all unrelated persons must leave immediately."

"Abert, don’t be too ruthless as a person. Have you forgotten how you used to ingratiate yourself with the Ye brothers? Ye Chen will not die so easily. There will come a time when you regret this," Li Yaguo shouted back, glaring furiously.

Abert shook his head disdainfully and said, "Do you think there’s still a chance for Ye Chenfeng to be alive after being buried here? You must be daydreaming. Even if Ye Chenfeng didn’t die, what then? Do you really think I, Abert, would be afraid of him?"

"Li Yaguo, aren’t you just Ye Chenfeng’s lapdog? Now that Ye Chenfeng is dead, there’s no need to remain so loyal," Rister said with a smile.

"Li Yaguo, rest assured, we won’t kill you. Someone as useless as you isn’t worth the effort," Leonard said casually.

"Li Yaguo, it was Ye Chenfeng who helped you rise in Country M. Now who can you rely on? Surely not Ye Chenfeng’s corpse, right? One must recognize the reality of the situation," Ma Changsi said as he twisted his neck.

"Li Yaguo, face reality! Ye Chenfeng is dead, and there’s no possibility for him to be alive," Sydney chimed in.

Li Yaguo, looking at those who used to be submissive because of Ye Chenfeng, could not help but feel the anger surging in his heart as he roared furiously, "You ungrateful wretches, do you think any of you could still stand here alive today without Brother Ye’s help back then? How shameless of you to say such things!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of Abert and the others turned from green to red. They knew what Li Yaguo was saying was true, if it wasn’t for Ye Chenfeng, they would have probably already been reporting to Yama’s Palace.

"Mr. Abert, please allow us four to settle some private matters. Yesterday, Li Yaguo pointed a gun at our heads and stole our woman, and today we must settle this score with Li Yaguo properly," Rister’s son Quint said to Abert.

Abert, who was quite displeased with the useless Li Yaguo, thought that it wouldn’t be bad for Quint, Richard, Shi Kaote, and Virgil to teach Li Yaguo a lesson. Besides, his relationship with the four great families was very good now, and since Rister’s son Quint had spoken up, he should give this face.

Abert nodded to Quint and said, "Fine, settle your private issues first."

The heads of the four great families, including Rister, had already learned from their sons about the conflict between Li Yaguo and them. Now that even Ye Chenfeng was dead, Li Yaguo was like an ant to them, which they could easily crush with a simple move of their hand.

Upon seeing Abert’s nod, Quint, Richard, Shi Kaote, and Virgil all showed extremely radiant smiles on their faces. Quint took two steps forward, his greedy gaze sweeping over Bai Xueling, who was moving the stones, before focusing on Li Yaguo, "How about it? Today, can you still point your gun at our heads? I hear you rose to power relying on an idiot named Ye Chenfeng, but now, he’s become a dead man. Are you going to kneel down and apologize to us, or shall we give you a taste of a fate worse than death?"

"Quint, why waste words on this trash, Li Yaguo? Today, we have to take back what’s ours," Richard said, his face showing eager anticipation.

Li Yaguo knew the situation was very dire. His hands stealthily moved towards the twin pistols at his waist, his heartbeat accelerating, yet he tried to maintain a steady breath, "Think carefully about what you’re doing. Otherwise, you’ll have nowhere to regret it later."

"Li Yaguo, what a pathetic loser, who do you think you’re scaring?" Shi Kaote sneered disdainfully.

"Li Yaguo, I’ll give you one last minute to think about it. Kneel down immediately, we’re running out of patience," Virgil said, his gaze taunting as he stared at Li Yaguo.

Meanwhile,

Underneath the massive ruins,

Wang Li, Hei Xin, and others were continuously moving the stones. Ye Chenfeng, using Soul Force to sense the situation outside, found that there seemed to be an argument. He said to Wang Li and the others, "Keep it up, I estimate it will only take another ten minutes for us to get out of here completely."

Quint, Richard, Shi Kaote, and Virgil, such behavior was akin to courting death. They were walking step by step into an abyss. When Ye Chenfeng reemerged into daylight, it would be the time for the four of them to die. (To be continued.
