“Ah?”
Ling Tian had never seen such a scene. Who got engaged upon meeting?
He felt a bit awkward, and his gaze involuntarily drifted towards Wang Bingxia. He thought, "However... she has a good figure, looks pretty, and most importantly, comes with a large fortune. Taking a wife like this doesn't seem bad?"
“Grandpa, what are you talking about?” Wang Bingxia said coquettishly.
Sensing Ling Tian’s fiery gaze, Wang Bingxia became even more shy, her face blushing all the way to her ears.
Just then, an arrogant voice echoed from the Wang family courtyard!
“Bai Haotian of the Bai family, here to mourn Old Master Wang!”
Uncle Wang was the first to step out of the room and saw a haughty young master striding in.
Uncle Wang’s face changed drastically, and he spoke first, “Bai Haotian, who let you in? This is the Wang family, not a place for you to run wild!”
Bai Haotian was nonchalant and said proudly, “Second Uncle, don’t be so aggressive. If Bingxia and I get married, we’ll be family.”
“You recommended Master Ye to me, wanting me to kill the Old Master?” Uncle Wang had already realized that if Ling Tian hadn’t appeared, Old Master Wang would surely have passed away by now, and he would be the biggest sinner of the Wang family.
“Second Uncle, how can you wrongly accuse me like this? I had good intentions. Master Ye was not skilled enough and killed Old Master Wang.” Bai Haotian defended himself with false sincerity, his tone suddenly turning sinister. He added, “If anyone is to blame, it’s you, Wang Lao Er, for not discerning the truth and killing your own father!”
Uncle Wang reprimanded sternly, “You are provoking our Wang family! Guards, quickly throw him out!”
Bai Haotian stood his ground, unperturbed.
“Wake up. Without Old Master Wang, do you think your Wang family is still the number one family in Jianghai? Let me tell you, our Bai family has acquired thirty percent of the shares of Wang’s Group. Coupled with the half of the shares that have been unmanaged, my Bai family is now the largest shareholder. Your Wang’s Group will soon be renamed Bai’s.”
The Wang family members who came out at the sound looked at Bai Haotian and found him somewhat amusing.
If this were a few minutes ago, they might have panicked. After all, once Old Master Wang died, the Wang family’s edifice would be half-collapsed. With the changes in the group’s shares, the decline of the Wang family was foreseeable.
But all of this was based on the success of Bai Haotian’s plan.
Wang Bingxia had long disliked Bai Haotian. Hearing him boast so shamelessly in her own home, she became furious.
“Who told you my grandfather is dead? He’s alive and well!”
Seeing Wang Bingxia emerge, a lecherous glint flashed in Bai Haotian’s eyes.
“My dear Bingxia, I know you’re feeling terrible right now, but the dead cannot be brought back to life. I will spend the rest of my days with you.”
Wang Bingxia could no longer tolerate it. “Uncle Yi, break his mouth for me.”
Uncle Yi walked towards Bai Haotian with a cruel smile. “Young Master Bai, my apologies.”
With that, a large hand, like a sharp eagle’s claw, lunged towards Bai Haotian’s shoulder.
A hint of disdain flickered in Bai Haotian’s eyes. “Chen Yi, perhaps I would have feared you a little before.”
He said this as he charged towards Chen Yi’s attack.
“But now, I have already…”
Chen Yi’s hand landed squarely on Bai Haotian’s shoulder, but it felt as if he had struck a piece of fine iron.
“...ceased to be…”
Bai Haotian’s movements were not hindered at all. He raised his hand and struck Chen Yi’s chest.
Chen Yi felt as if he had been kicked by a galloping wild horse in the chest. He cried out in pain and flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Bai Haotian retracted his hand and stood still, his words finally concluding.
“...the me I used to be.”
The Wang family members watched the fallen Chen Yi in an uproar.
Chen Yi was already the Wang family’s strongest guard, yet he couldn’t even withstand one move from Bai Haotian.
Furthermore, Bai Haotian had taken Chen Yi’s grab head-on and was completely unharmed. Had the younger generation of the Bai family reached such a level of strength?
Ling Tian, witnessing this scene, narrowed his eyes.
“Divine Power Gu. It seems this Bai family is the family currently supported by the Gu King.”
Bai Haotian walked towards Wang Bingxia with a lecherous smile.
“Bingxia, come home with me.”
“From now on, with the marriage alliance between our Bai family and the Wang family, the Wang family’s assets will all be yours.”
Wang Bingxia looked at him approaching step by step, her face filled with terror and disgust. She looked towards Ling Tian as if seeking help.
Ling Tian took a step forward, positioning himself between Wang Bingxia and Bai Haotian.
Bai Haotian’s vision was blocked by Ling Tian, and he was very displeased. He shouted angrily, “Who is this beggar? Get lost if you don’t want to die.”
Ling Tian’s Taoist robe had been torn by a servant earlier, making him look rather disheveled.
He said nonchalantly,
“Excuse me, but just now, Wang Bingxia became my fiancée. So… you’re the one who should get lost!”
Upon hearing this, Bai Haotian was first stunned, then he began to curse, “You, Wang Bingxia, I’ve been so devoted to you, and you turn out to be such a person, falling for a beggar like this. Today, I’ll tear you both apart alive.”
Saying this, he swung his fist towards Ling Tian.
Ling Tian acted as if he hadn’t heard, digging in his ear, and said softly, “Too noisy.”
He firmly grasped Bai Haotian’s fist. Bai Haotian, who could send Chen Yi flying with one punch, had his face turn red, but he couldn’t break free at all.
*Crack.*
With a crisp sound, Bai Haotian’s hand bone was snapped.
Before Bai Haotian could react, Ling Tian twisted his arm behind his back, followed by a series of crisp sounds.
Then, he casually threw Bai Haotian to the ground, placing a foot firmly on his chest, stifling the scream that was about to erupt.
Ling Tian looked down at Bai Haotian’s face, contorted in pain, and said faintly, “Who did you say you were going to tear apart alive just now?”
Bai Haotian’s eyes were wide with fury, and he gritted his teeth through the intense pain. “Kid, if you let me go now, my Bai family will at least leave you with an intact corpse. Otherwise… Ah!”
Ling Tian increased the pressure with his foot, interrupting Bai Haotian, and shook his head. “It seems you didn’t hear what I said earlier.”
As Bai Haotian felt the increasing pressure on his chest, he finally felt the fear of death. He struggled to say, “You dare to kill me? Our Bai family will not let you go!”
Ling Tian loosened his grip on his foot and looked coldly at Bai Haotian, a dangerous curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. “What a coincidence, I had no intention of letting your Bai family go either.”
With that, he gave Bai Haotian no chance to speak and suddenly exerted force with his foot.
*CRACK!*
An arm was crushed to pieces by Ling Tian.
Bai Haotian’s eyes bulged, and he stared fixedly at Ling Tian, letting out a scream, “Ah!”
Before Bai Haotian could react, Ling Tian delivered another kick. Bai Haotian, like a ball, was directly kicked out of the gate.
The Bai family members waiting outside the gate stared blankly at the flying object. As they curiously went to check, a chilling voice from inside the gate announced,
“Go back and tell your family head, this one arm is just the beginning!”
