[Ding!]

[Host has successfully stolen an opportunity from the protagonist.]

[Ye Chen has lost 500 Fate Value.]

[Remaining Fate Value: 6000]

Hearing the system notification, Shen Tian felt satisfied.

He glanced toward his family doctor, who had already finished checking Li Yunhai.

"He’ll be fine. He just needs immediate treatment at the hospital."

Several servants carefully helped Li Yunhai outside while the sound of an ambulance echoed from beyond the mansion entrance.

Li Lian finally breathed out in relief.

Her grandfather was safe.

But her disgust toward Ye Chen only deepened further.

At the center of the hall, Ye Chen was still fighting the guards.

One after another got beaten unconscious.

"Do you think I’m easy to bully!?"

Ye Chen yelled furiously while pounding his chest.

At this point, he was mentally unraveling.

Ever since coming down from the mountain, nothing had gone according to plan.

His master told him he was special.

Destined.

Favored by heaven itself.

Yet recently?

Everything kept falling apart.

His women hated him.

People mocked him.

Even his singing got humiliated.

Ye Chen’s bloodshot eyes locked onto Shen Tian as the last guard dropped to the ground.

"It’s all your fault!"

He launched himself forward furiously, ready to smash Shen Tian’s face apart.

Li Lian and Ling Shuangxue both instinctively moved at the same time to protect Shen Tian.

But before either woman could step in front of him, Shen Tian calmly closed his eyes for a split second.

Then opened them.

BANG!

His foot slammed directly into Ye Chen’s stomach.

Ye Chen coughed blood instantly as his body got blasted backward several meters.

"What the hell?!"

His face looked shaken.

Shen Tian smirked.

"You seriously think you can beat me in hand-to-hand combat? Dream on."

"Impossible! You’re just some spoiled young master!"

Ye Chen’s eyes turned redder from rage.

This time he wrapped Qi around his body and exploded forward again.

His punch shot toward Shen Tian’s face.

Right before impact, Shen Tian stepped calmly to the side.

Then hooked Ye Chen’s leg.

Ye Chen stumbled forward awkwardly trying to catch his balance.

The next second:

BANG!

A brutal punch slammed into the side of his head.

Ye Chen’s body flew sideways into a table.

Glass exploded everywhere.

Shards sliced into his skin.

Blood started running down his face and arms.

"I’LL KILL YOU!"

Ye Chen grabbed a broken shard of glass and sharpened it against another piece instantly.

Then under the terrified screams of the guests, he hurled it toward Shen Tian.

Then another.

Then another.

Sharp glass flew through the air like knives.

Yet Shen Tian began to dodge every single one effortlessly.

He bent his body backward at a near impossible angle as glass flew inches above his face.

Then he caught one midair.

Using Qi, he slowed the spinning glass instantly.

Then flicked it back.

Ye Chen’s pupils contracted.

Too late.

He was a doctor.

Not a real fighter.

The glass shard pierced directly into his eye.

"AAAAAAHHHH!"

Ye Chen screamed in agony.

Blood poured down his face as he staggered backward blindly.

Then without another word, he smashed through a nearby window and escaped into the night.

Silence filled the banquet hall.

Broken glass covered the floor.

Guests stared at Shen Tian in complete shock.

[Ding!]

[Host has successfully cut off Ye Chen’s backing from the Ling Family.]

[Ye Chen has lost 1000 Fate Value.]

[Remaining Fate Value: 5000]

Hearing the system notification, Shen Tian slowly smiled.

Then his eyes drifted toward Ling Han.

The man looked completely defeated.

Embarrassed.

Disappointed.

Both hands were covering his face as if he wanted to disappear from existence itself.

The "future savior" he kept praising had just embarrassed himself in front of the entire upper class.

Not only that, but Ye Chen had attacked people openly at the banquet and even tried to kill someone.

Ling Han genuinely wanted to slam his head into a wall.

Before Shen Tian could say anything, Ling Shuangxue immediately grabbed onto him and started checking his body worriedly.

"Are you hurt anywhere? Did the glass hit you?"

Her hands moved all over him anxiously.

Shen Tian expected that reaction from her.

What he didn’t expect...

Was Li Lian doing the exact same thing.

She stepped closer and lightly checked his arm and shoulder before realizing what she was doing.

Her movements instantly stiffened.

Then she coughed lightly and took a graceful step backward, regaining her composure.

"Thank you, Young Master Shen. If not for you..."

Her eyes turned colder thinking about Ye Chen.

"We all might have been harmed by that lunatic."

The moment Li Lian said that aloud, everyone else immediately snapped out of their shock.

"Young Master Shen truly saved the banquet!"

"That madman was terrifying!"

"As expected of the Shen Family!"

"His strength is unbelievable!"

Praise instantly erupted throughout the hall.

Ling Han slowly walked over awkwardly.

His face looked stiff.

"Truly... Thank you, Young Master Shen."

He let out an awkward laugh before patting Shen Tian on the shoulder.

"You really are a good son-in-law!"

"..." Shen Tian was silent.

Ling Han had practically worshipped Ye Chen while treating him like some useless rich kid.

Now?

It was a complete one hundred eighty degree turn.

Ling Shuangxue immediately exploded.

"You are so shameless!"

She pointed directly at her father.

"Weren’t you the one who brought Ye Chen here!?"

The guests instantly started whispering among themselves again.

Ling Han’s face paled.

Sweat formed on his forehead as he tugged awkwardly at his collar.

"No, sweetie, listen to me—"

Before he could continue...

Li Lian suddenly interrupted coldly.

"Leave."

Ling Han froze.

Li Lian’s gaze looked completely dignified and untouchable now.

Like a queen looking down upon someone beneath her.

"Now."

The pressure in her voice made even the older generation quiet down.

"..." Ling Han opened his mouth slightly.

Then looked toward his daughter one last time.

Ling Shuangxue completely avoided his gaze.

His shoulders slumped.

Then slowly, silently, he turned around and walked away.

"...I really fucked up... Maybe Qin Ruobing can help me?"

He muttered those words quietly to himself as he left the banquet hall alone.
