Peerless Divine Doctor
Chapter 690 Young Master’s Big Green Hat_1
However, everyone seemed to have witnessed a spectacular play, the drama unfolding today shook them to the core and made them perceive a world unlike any they had known before.
Ji Lingtian’s expression was filled with rage and unwillingness, his fists clenched so tightly as if trying to crush something, his face twisted in fury, body trembling lightly, a boundless anger pressing from within.
Many sighed as they watched Ji Lingtian, the proud young master of the Ji Family and the heir to the Century Group, an object of adoration and affection for countless women, now wearing the green hat of cuckoldry.
What’s more, his fiancée was taken away in public, a shame that was an indelible stain that would haunt him for a lifetime.
With the conclusion of this event, it was believed that the whole of Capital City, even the entire Huaxia, would buzz with the story, and Century Group along with the Ji Family and Ji Lingtian would face endless ridicule and lose all face -- this time, they were thoroughly humiliated.
After leaving the Emperor Hotel, Ye Luo and the others followed Elder Shi to a teahouse across the street which seemed to be rented out for the day, devoid of any other customers.
"Elder Shi, thank you for your assistance this time."
Inside the teahouse, Ye Luo once again thanked Elder Shi, knowing well that without his timely appearance, he would have been in dire straits.
"You don’t need to thank me, I just happened to be there," Elder Shi said calmly.
"Just happened to be there?" Ye Luo’s expression narrowed as he looked at Elder Shi, his eyes flickering, with Qin Yuru and the other girls looking puzzled.
"Could it be that Elder Shi, you were also there to prevent the engagement ceremony?" Ye Luo suddenly asked.
Qin Yuru and the other girls were taken aback, their gazes turning towards Elder Shi, who actually nodded, leaving the three women completely baffled and wondering what was going on.
"You’re quite clever?" Elder Shi couldn’t help saying to Ye Luo.
"But what is the reason behind your actions, Elder Shi?" asked Ye Luo, looking at him intently.
"Haven’t you guessed already?"
Elder Shi smiled and spoke, "Qin Group is known as the number one group in Huaxia, holding nearly half of Huaxia’s economy, and together with Century Group and the other top groups, they’ve been covertly expanding and now control close to thirty percent of Huaxia’s economy."
"If Century Group were to unite with Qin Group, or rather, fall under the control of the Ji Family, they would hold the economic lifeline of the entire Huaxia, influencing the fate of billions of Huaxia’s people. Eventually, even the government might not be able to control them, and all of Huaxia could effectively fall into their hands," he continued.
"So this is why the Huaxia government couldn’t allow Yu Ru’s engagement with Ji Lingtian, which led to your intervention, Elder Shi," Ye Luo said.
"That’s right, the Ji Family, with the support of the Seven Stars Pavilion, has hidden their influence deeply over the years. Ji Lingtian’s intention to engage with Miss Qin was precisely to seize control of Qin Group, and through it, the entire economic pulse of Huaxia," Elder Shi said gravely.
Qin Yuru and the other girls were shocked, and Qin Yuru frowned, saying,
"No wonder Ji Lingtian insisted on engaging with me even after knowing I was pregnant. His purpose was to take control of Qin Group. Thankfully today’s engagement ceremony was disrupted, or I would have been the sinner of the entire Qin Clan."
"But you, young man, are quite the ladies’ man, having won over Miss Qin and with a child on the way. I really wonder what my granddaughter sees in you, to the point she was willing to give up her beloved career in performing arts for your sake," Elder Shi remarked as he looked at Ye Luo.
"This..." Ye Luo was momentarily embarrassed, not knowing what to say, his eyes glanced at Zhanlang and the man beside him with a military saber, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Elder Shi, are they all from that what, War God team? What exactly is this War God team?"
"Since you’ve found out today, I might as well tell you. The War God team is a secret force that was established by the Huaxia government many years ago. All its members are elite elites selected from various military regions across Huaxia, and it took countless efforts and vast resources to create this team."
"It is another powerful organization in Huaxia besides the Special Security Bureau, specifically targeting those who pose a threat to Huaxia’s security and martial arts masters who come out from the Hidden Sects to harm the lives of the common people."
"Zhanlang, whom you’ve met before, is the deputy leader of the War God team. This man here is Military Saber, another deputy leader of the War God team." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Elder Shi pointed at Zhanlang and the man with a military saber at his waist as he introduced them.
"Who is the leader of the War God team?" Ye Luo asked curiously.
"Kid, naturally, the leader of the War God team is our War God himself!" Zhanlang said to Ye Luo directly.
"The War God!" Ye Luo’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"The legendary warrior with a powerful physique, cultivated terrifying Battle Will, ruthless and iron-blooded, possessing supreme combat strength, who once single-handedly annihilated a second-tier Sect from the Hidden Sect!"
At this moment, Feng Tian couldn’t help but speak, which drew the gaze of Zhanlang, Military Saber, and Elder Shi.
"Who are you? How come you know of the fame of our War God?" Zhanlang asked Ye Luo.
"I suppose this brother must be no ordinary person, right? May I know which Sect or power you come from?" Elder Shi’s eyes fixed on Feng Tian as he spoke.
"I don’t belong to any Sect, without any allegiance, and I’m merely one of his subordinates now."
Feng Tian revealed a slight smile as he spoke, glancing at Ye Luo.
"That’s right, Elder Shi, he’s one of my subordinates," Ye Luo nodded and then said, "However, I didn’t expect this War God to be so formidable, to actually wipe out a second-tier Sect of the Hidden Sect all by himself."
"Our War God team leader is naturally formidable. He is the leader of the War God team, with martial arts prowess that reaches the skies, a true Peak master in the martial world, and he is also renowned and revered in the Hidden Sect, known by everyone."
Zhanlang spoke with pride. When talking about the War God, his eyes filled with admiration and he radiated a strong sense of reverence.
The other members of the War God team each showed the kind of admiration and faith that fans have for their idols. Clearly, the War God team leader held a very high status in their hearts.
"Actually, you and this War God have a certain connection!" Elder Shi looked at Ye Luo with a meaningful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"Connected to me?" Ye Luo looked puzzled and somewhat confused.
"You’ll find out in time. However, after the humiliation you brought to the Ji Family, they certainly won’t let it go. Especially the master of the Yuheng Pavilion behind them, a real giant in the martial world, and with Ji Lingtian being his disciple, you’re bound to face endless troubles and dangers in the future," Elder Shi said in a serious tone.
