Ye Qiu looked up and saw that the person speaking was none other than Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing stood in place, his servants having already stopped the bleeding and bandaged his head.
His eyes fixed on Ye Qiu, his face dark as he said, “The Bai family is not a place where you can come and go as you please. If you dare to cause trouble here without paying a price, wouldn’t it make people laugh at the Bai family for being weak?”
“Ye Qiu, I am a merciful man. Today is also Pei Jie and Bai Bing’s joyous occasion. I don’t want to resort to violence.”
“If you sever one of your arms, I can let you leave alive. Otherwise… you die!”
When Bai Yujing said the word “die,” a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Ye Qiu sneered, “Bai Yujing, can you have some shame?”
“You sent so many people to ambush me on my way to the capital, and now you claim to be merciful? I feel embarrassed for you.”
“It seems Elder Changmei was right. You really are a hypocritical bastard.”
Elder Changmei felt a wave of frustration upon hearing this.
*When did I say that?*
*I don’t remember saying that.*
*Kid, why do you have to drag me into this? Is it because I look kind?*
Bai Yujing’s expression remained cold. “Ye Qiu, I’ll ask you one last time. Will you sever your arm, or will you choose death?”
“Bai Yujing, you seem to have overlooked something,” Ye Qiu said with a smile. “Do you think I came here today just to take Bingjie away?”
“What do you mean?” Bai Yujing narrowed his eyes.
Ye Qiu’s voice turned icy. “You sent so many people to kill me. If I let you live, wouldn’t I lose face?”
Hearing this, the entire crowd was shocked.
“What does that kid mean?”
“Is he going to kill Young Master Bai?”
“He’s crazy! Absolutely crazy!”
“If Young Master Bai dies, he won’t live either!”
“Maybe he’s just trying to scare Young Master Bai…” Before the speaker could finish, they heard Ye Qiu shout, “Tang Fei, Long Ye, help me protect Bingjie. If she loses even a single hair, you’ll be in for a world of pain!”
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely protect Sister Bing,” Long Ye said.
Ye Qiu let go of Bai Bing’s hand and said softly, “Bingjie, wait for me for a moment.”
Bai Bing’s beautiful face was full of worry as she looked at Ye Qiu and said, “Be careful. Bai Yujing is very cunning.”
“Don’t worry. No matter how cunning he is, he’s just trash in my eyes.”
*Trash?*
Hearing these words, Bai Yujing’s eyes burned with anger.
“Since you’re asking for death, don’t blame me,” Bai Yujing said, raising his right hand.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Over a hundred bodyguards rushed out from inside the villa, each holding a machete.
It was clear that Bai Yujing had anticipated Ye Qiu causing trouble and had made preparations in advance.
“Esteemed guests, to avoid harming the innocent, please step back,” Bai Yujing reminded.
Immediately, all the guests stepped back, clearing a large space.
The hundred-plus bodyguards quickly surrounded Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu ignored them and said disdainfully, “Bai Yujing, did the brick smash your brain? Even Cao Tianding couldn’t kill me. Do you think these trash can kill me?”
“Whether they can kill you or not, we’ll find out soon enough,” Bai Yujing said to the bodyguards. “Whoever kills him will be rewarded with one million.”
*Roar!*
The bodyguards, as if injected with adrenaline, rushed toward Ye Qiu in a frenzy.
Ye Qiu stood still, not moving until one bodyguard reached him. Then, he threw a punch.
*Bang!*
The first bodyguard to reach Ye Qiu was sent flying before he could even raise his machete.
More bodyguards charged forward.
Ye Qiu remained in place, knocking them down one by one, two by two.
In less than five minutes, all hundred-plus bodyguards were lying on the ground.
The guests were stunned.
They never expected Ye Qiu to be so skilled. Over a hundred bodyguards hadn’t even managed to scratch him.
Only now did the guests understand why Ye Qiu was so arrogant. He had the skills to back it up!
Seeing all his bodyguards defeated, Bai Yujing’s face grew even darker. He shouted at the bodyguards, “Don’t forget who has been supporting you all these years.”
“I’ve treated you well, giving you money, women, whatever you wanted. Today, it’s time for you to repay me.”
“Of course, I won’t treat you unfairly. The reward is now ten times higher. Whoever kills him will get ten million.”
“If you all kill him together, I’ll give each of you one million.”
*Whoosh!*
The bodyguards, who had been lying on the ground, quickly got up and charged at Ye Qiu again.
This time, the bodyguards were bloodthirsty, swinging their machetes wildly, completely disregarding their own safety.
“I showed mercy earlier, but since you don’t know your place, I’ll teach you a lesson,” Ye Qiu said, stepping forward and grabbing a bodyguard’s arm, then twisting it hard.
*Crack!*
The bodyguard’s arm instantly broke, and the machete fell to the ground.
Ye Qiu caught the machete mid-air and swung it, cutting down another bodyguard.
Next, Ye Qiu charged at the group of bodyguards, machete in hand.
With each swing of the blade, another bodyguard fell.
In just a short while, all hundred-plus bodyguards were lying in pools of blood, moaning in pain. Some had lost arms, others legs. It was a scene of utter carnage.
Most of the guests, accustomed to a life of luxury, had never seen such a scene. They felt their scalps tingling.
They looked at Ye Qiu, his white clothes still spotless, with terror in their eyes, as if he were a devil.
“All these people… crippled by him?”
“He’s too ruthless!”
“He’s a butcher! A complete butcher!”
Ye Qiu smiled as if nothing had happened, holding the machete and walking toward Bai Yujing.
The machete was dripping with blood, and with each step Ye Qiu took, blood dripped onto the ground, a horrifying sight.
“Bai Yujing, now it’s your turn!”
Ye Qiu stopped three meters away from Bai Yujing, pointing the machete at him. “I always repay kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance. Don’t expect me to show you any mercy.”
Elder Changmei, seeing Ye Qiu’s overwhelming killing intent, felt a sense of foreboding.
“This kid is determined to kill Bai Yujing. If this continues, the sky will fall. No, I can’t stay here. I need to find a way to slip away.”
However—
Before Elder Changmei could escape, a loud voice rang out:
“Benefactor Ye, this is not a place for killing. Please put down your blade!”
Instantly, Elder Changmei’s heart skipped a beat.
“Oh no, why is he here?”
