After a moment, the bearded man painfully got up from the ground.
The bearded man looked formidable, but as soon as they fought, Jiang Yi had already taken him down!
"I'll kill you!"
The bearded man roared furiously at Jiang Yi.
"I suggest you best stay put, or your life will be forfeit!" Jiang Yi said.
The bearded man didn't believe Jiang Yi's words at all. He gripped the sharp dagger in his hand and lunged at Jiang Yi again.
As a result, the bearded man had only taken two steps before he stumbled to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
The assassins around them saw this and rushed over to check. They discovered that the bearded man had no breath left.
The bearded man was dead.
This stunned all the assassins!
They couldn't believe that the bearded man had been fine just moments ago, only to lose his life after taking two steps.
Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
The reason the bearded man suddenly died was that Jiang Yi had struck a vital acupoint on his body during their earlier exchange.
This acupoint was one of the most fatal ones. Once struck, as long as the opponent remained still, their body would recover completely after three hours.
However, if the opponent moved even slightly after being struck, they would die on the spot.
This was Jiang Yi's ultimate move.
Jiang Yi rarely used this technique on people before. He only employed this killing move when facing ruthless assassins who showed no mercy.
"What kind of sorcery did you use?"
An assassin asked Jiang Yi with a murderous gaze.
"You so-called top assassins from Eagle Country are too unqualified! You're assassins, yet you blabber on with so much nonsense. Hurry up and attack! I don't have time to waste on you!" Jiang Yi said indifferently.
Hearing this, the assassins charged at Jiang Yi with murderous intent.
In less than a minute, all the assassins lay on the ground.
Their fate was the same as the bearded man.
Jiang Yi never showed mercy to these assassins.
Jiang Yi inspected the assassins to ensure no one had escaped before leaving the woods.
Upon returning to the castle courtyard, Jiang Yi glanced at the bodyguards. They were training vigorously in the courtyard, full of spirit.
The courtyard was almost becoming a training ground!
Jiang Yi was very satisfied seeing this.
As long as they were willing to train hard, he could cultivate them into top experts in the shortest possible time.
Jiang Yi withdrew his gaze and returned to the main hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Dongfang Mei sitting on the sofa with an unhappy expression.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I ask you, did you go to see Alice just now?" Dongfang Mei asked, frowning.
"No!"
Jiang Yi replied, "Stephen had an accident, so I went to check on him. He was attacked by people from that assassin organization and was injured. With something like this happening, shouldn't I go and see, right?"
"That's your excuse. You clearly went to see Alice!" Dongfang Mei said coldly.
Jiang Yi was speechless. Why had Dongfang Mei become so unreasonable?
"Alice herself said she likes you and also stated she wouldn't give up!" Dongfang Mei said.
Jiang Yi was stunned upon hearing this!
How could Dongfang Mei know what Alice had told him? Did she have supernatural hearing?
"That's right, Alice did say that, but I don't understand how you know," Jiang Yi asked.
"Check your clothes pocket, and you'll understand!" Dongfang Mei said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi reached into his pocket and found something.
When Jiang Yi took it out, he saw it was a listening device.
Jiang Yi was very familiar with this listening device. He had bought it before to plant on Zhu Xiaoxiao's clothes to monitor her.
Later, in his haste to come to Eagle Country, he hadn't realized the listening device was still in his clothes.
Dongfang Mei had a software on her phone that connected to this listening device.
As long as she opened the software on her phone, the listening device could eavesdrop on any sound.
"You rushed out of the villa just now. I was worried something might happen to you, so I turned on the listening software. Unexpectedly, I heard Alice confessing her feelings to you and saying she wanted to marry you," Dongfang Mei said calmly.
"Although Alice did say those things, I am innocent!" Jiang Yi said.
"Whether you are innocent or not, you know it yourself!"
Dongfang Mei said with a frown.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
"Alright, don't be angry! I swear, I will only love you in this lifetime. Is that acceptable?" Jiang Yi declared.
Dongfang Mei didn't reply and went directly back to her room!
Just then, Chen Kun and Li Tao walked in from outside.
"How did things go?" Jiang Yi asked.
"We've bought the company building and also applied with the relevant departments to establish the company. It's estimated to take some time for the approval. But it's fine, we can use this opportunity to recruit more talent for the company!" Chen Kun said.
Jiang Yi nodded.
"Young Master Jiang, you can rest assured! Leave this matter to us! You can trust us to handle things, and there will be absolutely no mistakes," Li Tao also said.
Li Tao was very confident about starting a company.
He had started many companies before. Although each company eventually went bankrupt, he had a lot of experience.
"Brother, did Sister-in-law argue with you just now?" Chen Kun asked.
This question stunned Jiang Yi!
How did Chen Kun know about this?
Although it wasn't exactly an argument, they had indeed had a disagreement.
"How did you know?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I guessed."
Chen Kun said, "The news media in this city are all hyping up the matter between you and Alice. As soon as you open your phone's news, you'll see news about you and Alice. Almost everyone in the city knows about it now!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi opened his phone and saw the news about him and Alice.
The news reported that Jiang Yi and Alice were lovers, and even contained more distasteful content.
Jiang Yi had been very low-key since arriving in Eagle Country. In this unfamiliar land, few people recognized Jiang Yi, but now he had made it into the news.
Someone must have deliberately leaked information about Jiang Yi and Alice to the media.
Alice was Stephen's daughter. Although he rarely appeared in public, he was still somewhat famous in Eagle Country.
The media naturally wanted to hype up matters concerning her to gain more attention.
These media outlets were even more unscrupulous than those back home.
"Sister-in-law must have seen the news. Given her personality, she definitely wouldn't give you a pleasant look!" Chen Kun said.
