As Feng Tutu and Wu Dao were about to make a move, several stern-faced men in black appeared at the doorway, exuding a sharp aura.
Upon seeing the men in black, Shen Mu Yutai breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"President Yutai."
The man in the lead addressed Shen Mu Yutai with respect, "Our master originally intended to attend the banquet himself, but was delayed by matters at home. He asked me to convey his apologies and to personally visit you after the banquet."
Shen Mu Yutai sighed, "Alas, Patriarch Huang will likely not get to wait for me."
"Oh? President Yutai, have you encountered trouble?"
The men in black had already noticed Ye Kunlun, whose imposing presence was palpable. From the moment they entered the banquet hall, they sensed the tense atmosphere.
"This distinguished gentleman from Wujian Prison is arbitrarily accusing our Shen Mu Corporation of wrongdoing and wants to take me in for investigation," Shen Mu Yutai explained with a helpless expression.
Upon hearing this, the leading man in black cast a cold glance at Ye Kunlun and said sternly, "As far as I know, even Wujian Prison cannot arrest people without evidence."
"How dare this dog speak so presumptuously about Wujian Prison's affairs?" Feng Tutu’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed as she reprimanded him.
"Insolence!"
The man in black revealed a fierce look, "The Huang family is one of the Eight Houses of Kyoto. Our patriarch presides over the Law Enforcement Department, and even Wujian Prison cannot disregard the law!"
Ye Kunlun looked at the man in black as if he were an idiot.
The existence of Wujian Prison already transcended the Law Enforcement Department; it was a Damocles sword hanging over all order!
The man in black believed that by invoking his patriarch's name, he could force Ye Kunlun and his companions to retreat.
Unexpectedly, Feng Tutu giggled and slapped him twice with her delicate hand, "You're quite handsome, how can your mind be so dull?"
"If you don't know what Wujian Prison is, you'd best go back and ask your patriarch!"
The crisp sound of the slaps echoed through the grand banquet hall.
Feng Tutu's assertiveness instantly enraged the men in black.
In an instant, the men in black drew their pistols and aimed them at Feng Tutu.
Ye Kunlun watched the men in black drawing their guns with a cold gaze. It was clear they were here to rescue Shen Mu Yutai, which suggested that the Huang family was not clean either.
Ye Kunlun's body flickered slightly as he appeared directly in front of the leading man in black, saying coldly, "Go back and tell Patriarch Huang that Wujian Prison will pay a visit!"
As the words fell, before the man in black could react, he was sent flying by an invisible, terrifying force!
"Take them and go!"
Ye Kunlun strode towards the exit of the banquet hall.
Wu Dao and Feng Tutu immediately escorted Shen Mu Yutai and the envoy.
Qian Rou Rou’s beautiful eyes were filled with excitement. This was not the first time she had witnessed Ye Kunlun turn the tide with his formidable methods.
Her heart pounded faster and faster. Ye Kunlun's every word seemed to possess a certain magic that deeply captivated her.
Snapping back to reality, Qian Rou Rou quickly followed them.
"Sir, please don't forget what I said. If you want to explore Kyoto, I can be your guide!"
Ye Kunlun ignored Qian Rou Rou.
Watching Ye Kunlun's retreating figure, a flicker of disappointment crossed Qian Rou Rou's eyes.
Qian Xiao Jiao followed, somewhat astonished, "Rou Rou, did I see correctly? He's the young master of Wujian Prison?"
"He should be!" Qian Rou Rou replied, showing some displeasure towards her aunt. "Aunt, I've told you before that sir is no ordinary person.
Moreover, sir is my savior. Even Dad said we should thank him properly. Your attitude just now was too disappointing!"
Qian Xiao Jiao smiled awkwardly and took Qian Rou Rou's hand. "Rou Rou, you've been simple and kind since you were young. Your aunt has seen more men than you've eaten meals. I was only looking out for you, fearing you'd be deceived."
Hearing this, Qian Rou Rou's anger flared even more. "You keep saying you're doing this for my own good, but you clearly know I don't like Zhao An, yet you arranged for me to meet him!"
Qian Rou Rou’s emotions were a bit out of control. "Have you considered my feelings?"
With that, Qian Rou Rou, angered, left alone.
Qian Rou Rou's words were just heard by the awakened Zhao An.
Zhao An felt as if he had been struck by lightning, filling his heart with endless hatred.
"Damn it!!"
He secretly vowed to make Ye Kunlun pay the price.
—
A perfectly good banquet ended before it even truly began.
The news of Wujian Prison forcefully taking Shen Mu Yutai spread like wildfire, quickly circulating throughout Kyoto.
Whoosh—
From the darkness, several figures blocked the path of Ye Kunlun, Feng Tutu, and Wu Dao.
A terrifying killing intent seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
Whoosh—
Several more figures appeared, blocking Ye Kunlun's and his companions' rear escape route!
More than a dozen people surrounded Ye Kunlun and his group completely.
"Shen Mu Yutai, I didn't expect you to make a move against me so quickly?"
Ye Kunlun smiled faintly, looking at Shen Mu Yutai, who was being held by Wu Dao.
Shen Mu Yutai met Ye Kunlun's gaze with a calm expression. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"What a pity."
Ye Kunlun smiled lightly.
"What's a pity?" Shen Mu Yutai didn't quite understand Ye Kunlun's words.
"Even Zhou Lie was killed by me. Do you think these worthless trash are my match?"
Ye Kunlun's voice gradually turned cold, his aura transforming into several sharp swords that slashed towards the more than a dozen shadowy figures around them!
"Invisibility!"
With a soft exclamation, the more than a dozen figures instantly vanished into the void, their presence disappearing without a trace.
"Eastern Yin techniques."
Ye Kunlun’s expression was calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of mockery. "In my eyes, they are merely trivial tricks!"
Hiss—
The terrifying aura around Ye Kunlun instantly condensed into a massive sword net, which then abruptly contracted.
Bang—
Something seemed to explode in the darkness, and the smell of blood spread through the air.
In the next second, the remaining shadowy figures revealed themselves.
Ye Kunlun's ability to capture their movements far exceeded their expectations!
"Flaming Fire Kill!"
A person on the left swiftly formed hand seals, and a fire snake materialized out of thin air, ferociously lunging towards Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun's black pupils reflected a fiery red, making him appear somewhat demonic!
"You're too green to play with fire against me!"
As he spoke, the fire snake turned and pounced on the shadowy figure, instantly engulfing it!
Ahhh—
Piercing screams and the smell of scorched flesh filled the air.
A cold sweat broke out on Shen Mu Yutai's back. Ye Kunlun was too powerful.
Eastern Yin techniques, which primarily focused on surprise, trickery, and intensity, could not affect Ye Kunlun in the slightest. It seemed unlikely he would be able to rescue himself tonight.
Just then, Ye Kunlun sensed an extremely powerful aura.
He abruptly turned and punched towards the void!
Buzz—
As Ye Kunlun struck, a crimson spear appeared in the void, rustling ominously under Ye Kunlun's fist wind!
