I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

"Let go of me, you're squeezing me so hard I can't breathe."

Wang Jinwei's arrogance vanished in an instant, replaced by panic. He clearly felt his feet leave the ground, and a strong sense of suffocation spread throughout his body.

"Dad, save me..."

He reached out towards Wang Jianguo, trying to get help, his face flushed and veins bulging.

Xu Yuan kept one hand behind his back, his grip tightening and loosening slightly, so as not to actually strangle Wang Jinwei.

He stared calmly in Wang Jianguo's direction: "Release my father, and I'll release your son. It's fair."

Wang Jianguo, as expected of someone who has seen a lot, stood with his hands behind his back, watching his son struggle in pain, without much emotional fluctuation.

He chuckled and said, "I don't believe you would actually dare to crush him."

Even if I gave you ten times the courage, you still wouldn't dare.

As he spoke, he reached out and snatched the machete from the bodyguard beside him, stabbing it into Xu Yinheng's thigh.

"ah…"

Xu Yinheng cried out in pain, and before he could react, Wang Jianguo immediately pulled out his cleaver, splattering blood everywhere.

His eyes were fierce, and he stared at Xu Yuan with a smirk: "Little thing, trying to play games with me."

When I was out there making my way in the world, you were still a pushover.

Xu Yuan witnessed blood gushing from the wound on Xu Yinheng's thigh. Not wanting to worry him, Xu Yinheng gritted his teeth and kept quiet.

"Release my son, or the next knife will slit his neck."

Wang Jianguo held the machete to Xu Yinheng's neck, the cold blade brushing against his skin, his eyes full of disdain.

He already knew about the Xu family's situation; they were just honest, law-abiding small business owners with no powerful connections.

As for ruthless people, the Xu family has none.

Looking across the entire Mingdai region, there is no one more ruthless than Wang Jianguo.

Even if the Xu family disappears, I can spend some money afterward, and within a week, no one will mention this matter anymore.

Xu Yuan increased the pressure on his hand slightly, and Wang Jinwei, who looked like a little chick, coughed violently twice, then struggled and pounded on Xu Yuan's arm with all his might.

Xu Yuan seemed oblivious to the pain, letting him struggle as he did, her eyes fixed on Wang Jianguo with an expressionless mix of joy and anger.

"Are you going to bet with me?"

"I bet you'll definitely lose," Wang Jianguo said shrewdly, showing no sign of backing down.

If he backs down today, the news will spread throughout Mingdai in the future. How will he ever be able to stay in Mingdai then?

Doesn't that mean anyone can manipulate him?

Click...

Thunder rumbled and raindrops began to wet the ground.

"it is good."

Xu Yuan raised his voice slightly: "I'll release your son, and you release my father."

A smug glint flashed in Wang Jianguo's eyes. See? He knew Sun Wukong couldn't escape the Buddha's palm.

As Xu Yuan's hand loosened, Wang Jinwei's legs went weak, and he fell to the ground, clutching his neck and coughing violently, gasping for fresh air.

He had just vaguely seen himself looking too big.

"Bastard, you son of a bitch."

After catching his breath, Wang Jinwei muttered curses and grabbed the security guard next to him to stand up.

Xu Yuan pretended not to hear, his attention was entirely on his father.

Click...

Purple lightning flashed, dazzling the eyes, and the rain intensified.

Wang Jianguo suddenly exerted force, and the blade instantly pierced Xu Yinheng's neck, blood mingling with the rain and rolling onto the ground.

"No…"

Just as he was about to move, the fine needle in his sleeve flew out.

The flying needle struck the blade, sparking a burst of light, but Wang Jinwei's knife was still too close to Xu Yinheng's neck, and he was an inch too slow.

Pfft...

Xu Yinheng collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open, blood gushing from his mouth, cold rain lashing his face as he gradually lost consciousness.

His gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on Xu Yuan, who was surrounded by bodyguards.

Xu Yuan frantically tried to check on Xu Yinheng's condition; as long as he had a breath left, he could save his father.

The Wang family's bodyguards refused to allow it. The moment Wang Jianguo made his move, the bodyguards launched a coordinated attack on Xu Yuan.

"My son, my child..."

Xu Yinheng's outstretched hand hovered in mid-air, and as a bolt of lightning struck, he closed his eyes completely.

In his final moments, he was content to see the son he had longed for for eighteen years.

"Father."

Xu Yuan completely lost his mind, using both hands and feet without any restraint.

"Naive, childish, do you really think I'll listen to you?" Wang Jianguo made no attempt to hide his mockery.

"That's incredibly stupid."

puff……

Xu Yuan didn't even look at the machete the bodyguard thrust at him. He grabbed it and with a forceful pull, the machete instantly turned into a piece of metal, which clattered to the ground.

The rain was pouring down on his head, but Xu Yuan didn't notice at all. With a wave of his hand, the bodyguard who had come up to him coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.

"Kill him."

Wang Jianguo, who had gotten up from the ground, stood on the steps and waved his hand, ordering all his bodyguards to rush forward.

In an instant, the Wang family manor was awash in blood, the heavy stench of blood filled the air, and more and more corpses lay on the ground.

Xu Yuan stepped on the corpses and approached the terrified Wang Jinwei step by step.

He slipped and fell with a thud into the muddy water mixed with blood.

Muddy water fell into his mouth, and he vomited violently, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

He was arrogant as he always was, but he had never seen anything like this before.

"Murder! Murder!"

He kicked his legs on the ground, trying to stand up, but he had no strength at all.

A shadow blocked Ye De's way. Looking up, he saw Xu Yuan, whose face was covered by wet magic, staring at him with cold eyes, as if he were looking at an ant.

Xu Yuan stomped on Wang Jinwei's face, burying his mouth and nose completely in the mud.

"It's all because of you."

"You dare?"

Standing on the steps, Wang Jianguo shouted sternly, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Xu Yuan, a fleeting look of fear in them.

He admitted that he had underestimated the guy.

The more than forty bodyguards were all handpicked by him, but in Xu Yuan's hands they were like clay chickens and earthenware dogs, easily dealt with.

His plan was to take the opportunity to get rid of Xu Yinheng, then kill Xu Yuan, avenge his son, and gain control of the Xu family's assets.

The current situation is clearly beyond his expectations.

He's incredibly good at fighting.

Xu Yuan raised his head and met Wang Jianguo's stern gaze, which he was forcing into a smile. He pointed his finger at Wang Jianguo's nose.

"You broke your promise. You said you'd release the people together, but you killed my father instead."

"Every cause has its effect; this is your retribution."

"don't want…"

Before Wang Jinwei could finish speaking, a snapping sound came from his neck, and he lost all life.

"Next, it's your turn."

Throughout the entire process, Xu Yuan never lowered his head; he kept his eyes fixed on Wang Jianguo.

"Do you...do you know that murder is a crime?"

Wang Jianguo felt inexplicably guilty and pulled the two remaining bodyguards beside him to stand in front of him.

"We can talk this over. Now that my son is dead, we're even, how about it?"

"Even?"

Xu Yuan remained calm, raising his head to feel the rain falling from the sky onto his face.

"I cast a divination for your family before I came here."

Your family will surely perish today.

"Such arrogance."

A deep voice pierced through the rain and reached Xu Yuan's ears.

Looking up, I saw an elderly man in white slowly walking towards me.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Wang Jianguo straightened up from his bent-over position.

"You've finally arrived, sir."

"Kid, you're finished."

Do you really think I have no backup plan?
