Wang Runfa kowtowed frantically, his heart filled with terror. He never imagined that the person he had provoked was someone even the Governor dared not offend!
This beast! How could he have offended such a powerful figure! Wang Runfa wished he could beat his son to death right then and there. What a prodigal son, the ultimate troublemaker!
"Bang!" The Governor of the Southwest kicked Wang Runfa flying. The latter spewed a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground. Yet, even in such a state, Wang Runfa immediately got up and crawled forward.
He had no choice. If the Governor of the Southwest did not forgive him today, his position as county magistrate would be gone, and he would be finished!
"Governor, it was all my son's fault. I had no idea this brat was causing such mayhem in Yang County. I beg you, Governor, give me a chance. I will purge my own household and give the people of Yang County justice!" Wang Runfa gritted his teeth, filled with regret. If he had known his son would cause him so much trouble, he should have had him pinned to the wall back then.
"Father!!" Wang Shao's face turned ashen upon hearing this. His only pillar of support was his father. Was he planning to sacrifice him to save himself?
"All of you, shut up!!" The Governor of the Southwest reprimanded them, cast a cold glance at the two, and then spoke to Li Xiaotian.
"Mr. Li, the presence of these two scoundrels in Yang County is my negligence. Please rest assured, I will handle this matter personally and give you an explanation, and justice to Yang County."
Hearing the Governor of the Southwest's words, Wang Runfa was stunned, stimulated to the point of fainting. Wang Shao, on the other hand, was terrified, trembling all over. He never imagined that what he thought was a trivial matter, which he could handle as usual by finishing off his provocateurs, would turn out like this.
"No!! No!! This isn't real!! This isn't real!!" Wang Shao roared, weeping bitterly.
The onlookers, including Guangtou Qiang and the guards, were all in shock. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, their heads bowed low.
The County Magistrate of Yang County was dealt with just like that?
They looked at Li Xiaotian, their hearts filled with fear. This was the man who, after the Governor arrived, hadn't said a word, and yet the Governor had dealt with the Wang father and son.
What frightened them even more was that Wang Runfa's secretary had been killed by Li Xiaotian earlier, but the Governor hadn't mentioned it at all.
Yang County was about to undergo a drastic change, all because of a demolition.
Long Wu's family was still in a daze. They only knew that Long Wu was a mercenary in the war zone, but they never imagined that their son's comrade would possess such immense power.
Their Governor of the Southwest, the heavenly figure in their eyes, was now addressing their son's comrade like a subordinate.
Li Xiaotian's expression was cold. He gave the Governor of the Southwest a faint glance and then said expressionlessly.
"As I said, he must die today!"
He pointed at Wang Shao as he spoke.
"Bang!" The Governor of the Southwest struck Wang Shao on the head with a backhand, killing him instantly!
Wang Runfa had just regained consciousness and witnessed this scene, only to be stimulated again and faint.
"Mr. Li, are you satisfied with this?" the Governor of the Southwest asked cautiously.
Li Xiaotian nodded slightly. After all, the Governor was Li Shanhai's subordinate, so he had to give some face.
"Good. You may withdraw. I don't want any more blind individuals bothering me these few days."
"Yes! Yes! No one will disturb Mr. Li these days." The Governor of the Southwest quickly replied, feeling a slight sense of relief. He then led his men to leave swiftly.
Li Xiaotian stood in place, his gaze calm. He instructed Long Yi.
"Investigate the situations of the families of the other brothers. If there are any who are blind, deal with them."
"Yes, Brother!" Long Yi responded quickly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. If the situations of the other brothers' families were the same as Long Wu's, then he, Long Yi, would not hesitate to go on a killing spree!
In the following days, Li Xiaotian and his group waited until Long Wu was buried before leaving Yang County to send the remains of the other brothers home.
After the Governor of the Southwest received news of Li Xiaotian's departure from the Southwest, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had hardly slept these past few days, fearing that someone might again provoke Li Xiaotian.
Over the next month, Li Xiaotian sent back the ashes of his other brothers one by one. To his relief, the families of the other brothers did not encounter the same situation as Long Wu's family. Otherwise, he would have truly gone on a killing spree.
Simultaneously, during this month, the fires of war in the war zone never ceased. The Assassin Alliance was being pursued by the entire war zone, suffering heavy losses.
At this moment, the leaders of the Assassin Alliance truly realized that their decision not to send reinforcements when they clashed with the Dragon King's Hall had sounded the death knell for their alliance.
The Assassin Alliance tried every method to change the situation of being universally opposed, but the major powers in the war zone had tasted the benefits and had no intention of stopping.
Moreover, some influential figures within the alliance had already planned to break away from the Assassin Alliance because they knew the alliance was doomed and had no chance of a comeback.
With the situation in the war zone improving, Li Xiaotian no longer had any intention of returning to the war zone. Of course, more importantly, he had faith in his brothers of the Dragon King's Hall.
As for the employer who had initially hired assassins to kill him, the Assassin Alliance had still not handed over the employer's information.
It wasn't that they refused to hand it over, but that they simply didn't have it. This was because the task of assassinating Li Xiaotian had been issued by Number Eight, but Number Eight had not appeared at alliance meetings since the end of the last battle, as if he had vanished.
At the capital airport, Ye Qingmei, holding Tiantian, waited anxiously with the Tian Fu family. Since Li Xiaotian's departure, they had all been filled with worry every day.
Now that they knew Li Xiaotian was returning soon, everyone was excited.
"Mom, did Dad bring me any yummy food when he comes back?" Tiantian asked expectantly.
"Dad will definitely bring you yummy food, Tiantian. You know Dad loves you the most," Ye Qingmei said with a smile, her gaze fixed on the airport arrival hall.
Suddenly, Ye Qingmei's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked forward, holding Tiantian.
In the arrival hall, Li Xiaotian's figure appeared. Seeing his wife and daughter, his heart was filled with emotion, and he strode towards them.
"Daddy!" Tiantian shouted excitedly.
"Ah! My precious daughter!" Li Xiaotian laughed, opening his arms to hold his wife and daughter tightly. They had been separated for over a month, and he had missed them every day.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back," Ye Qingmei said softly, her eyes reddening. At this moment, she no longer pretended to be strong and nestled in Li Xiaotian's embrace.
