Bai Hao, upon hearing the butler Old Wang’s reminder, turned deathly pale. He could never have imagined that their three War Gods, with Old Wang and Zhang Zhen being top-tier War God powerhouses, would be so easily dealt with by just two opponents. This left him utterly bewildered.
However, in the next moment, Bai Hao realized his predicament and, without hesitation, turned to flee.
But Li Xiaotian was faster than him!
"Bang!" Bai Hao, in his escape, was violently kicked from behind by Li Xiaotian, sending his entire body flying forward.
"Thump!" Bai Hao slammed hard onto the ground, his face making intimate contact with the earth.
"Ahhh!!!" Bai Hao roared, but he still hadn't forgotten to escape, and was already struggling to get up.
"Do you think you can get away?" Li Xiaotian's voice sounded in Bai Hao's ear as he stepped on Bai Hao's back.
"Young Master!!! Let go of my Young Master!! If you don't want to be retaliated against by our Bai family, then let him go!" Old Wang shouted from behind, his eyes bloodshot.
"Bang!" Long Yi punched Old Wang away, his expression filled with disdain.
"You can't even protect yourself, yet you're still worrying about others. You truly are a loyal dog."
Meanwhile, Bai Hao was filled with terror, lying on the ground, his face drained of all color.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I am the eldest young master of the Bai family. If you kill me, the Bai family will not let you go!!"
Li Xiaotian's eyes were devoid of any emotion as he looked coldly at Bai Hao. The fact that Bai Hao had threatened him using Ye Qingmei earlier had completely enraged him.
"Eldest young master of the Bai family? Heh, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it." Li Xiaotian's tone was laced with mockery.
Hearing this, Bai Hao was immediately filled with regret, but deep down, he also harbored immense grief and hatred.
He was the eldest young master of the ancient martial Bai family, the future patriarch of the Bai family. His status was noble, and he had War Gods as servants.
But now, he was being trampled underfoot like a beggar. This filled him with both humiliation and fear.
However, the current situation forced him to shed his arrogant status and obediently lie on the ground.
"I was wrong, please spare me. I will bear all the losses and never set foot in Jiangnan again for the rest of my life."
Bai Hao struggled to speak, his heart in agony. This was the first time he had softened his stance towards someone, and it felt deeply uncomfortable.
"Heh, isn't it a bit late to admit your mistake now?" A flicker of disdain flashed in Li Xiaotian's eyes.
"It's not too late, not too late. I admit I was wrong, I apologize to Ms. Ye. I am the eldest young master of the Bai family. As long as you let me go, the Bai family will satisfy any of your demands." Bai Hao said hastily, filled with anxiety. He didn't want to die.
"Sirs, we were wrong. Please let our young master go. This time, we were blind and offended you. We are willing to pay any price to compensate you." Inside the room, Old Wang pleaded.
"Hmph!" Li Xiaotian sneered, looking at Bai Hao beneath his feet. Just as he was about to crush the other man to death, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded.
"Mr. Li, show some mercy!" Li Shanhai and others rushed in. Upon seeing the scene, they couldn't help but gasp and quickly called out.
If they had arrived a moment later, Bai Hao would have been crushed to death by Li Xiaotian.
"Lord Li?" Bai Hao looked up and, upon seeing Li Shanhai, immediately shouted excitedly.
"Lord Li, save me, quickly save me! The Bai family will surely reward you handsomely!!"
"Shut up!" Li Xiaotian rebuked, applying more force under his foot, pressing Bai Hao's head firmly to the ground, denying him any chance to speak. He then looked up at Li Shanhai with a playful expression.
"What? Done watching the show?"
"Cough, cough." Li Shanhai couldn't help but be startled, knowing that his little scheme couldn't be hidden from Li Xiaotian. He quickly began to speak.
"Mr. Li, please forgive me. This brat has a special identity, making it difficult for me to deal with him. Moreover, the Bai family has immense influence in Da Qin. If this brat dies, the Bai family will go mad."
Li Shanhai found himself in a difficult position, unable to offend either Li Xiaotian or Bai Hao. One was the top power in the war zone, while the other represented a prominent hidden family of the Da Qin Empire, with deep roots in the country. If Li Shanhai sided with either party, it would cause considerable trouble.
Therefore, this time, he could only wait for the outcome, neither participating nor supporting either side.
However, Li Shanhai actually leaned towards supporting Li Xiaotian. The hidden families had too much power in the Da Qin Empire, and he had long wanted to curb their influence, but he had never found a suitable opportunity.
Listening to the conversation between Li Shanhai and Li Xiaotian, Bai Hao was filled with shock. Who exactly was this Li Xiaotian, to be treated with such deference by Li Shanhai?
After all, even their Bai family, except for his grandfather, showed proper respect when encountering Li Shanhai.
"If he dies, the Bai family will go mad. Then aren't you afraid of my Dragon King Hall going mad? If I hadn't returned to Da Qin this time, would you have stood by and watched this trash bully my wife?" Li Xiaotian said coldly.
"Mr. Li, you misunderstand. I have always had the military guarding your wife and daughter for their safety. This Bai Hao appeared suddenly, and I had also received news of your return, so I did not act on my own initiative but waited for you to handle it. Even if you hadn't returned, I would never have allowed your wife and daughter to suffer any grievances."
Li Shanhai quickly explained, filled with helplessness. As the commander of the military, everything depended on the bigger picture. If it wasn't Bai Hao who had provoked Li Xiaotian this time, he would have already had them eliminated, and today's incident wouldn't have happened.
"Mr. Li, let him go. I will personally go to the Bai family and make them give you an explanation," Li Shanhai said, fearing that Li Xiaotian might accidentally crush Bai Hao to death.
Li Xiaotian narrowed his eyes, staring at Li Shanhai without speaking.
At this moment, everyone present held their breath, afraid that Li Xiaotian would disregard Li Shanhai's advice and kill Bai Hao, thereby escalating the situation beyond repair.
"Heh, I'll give you face this time." Li Xiaotian spoke, recalling that Li Shanhai had unhesitatingly allowed the Red Dragon to assist him against the Assassin Alliance. Such a decision deserved him to grant him some face.
Upon hearing Li Xiaotian's words, Li Shanhai breathed a sigh of relief, but then, a heart-wrenching scream erupted.
It was Bai Hao's scream. Although Li Xiaotian did not kill him, it did not mean he would be allowed to leave intact.
Therefore, Li Xiaotian crippled Bai Hao's legs, ensuring he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
"Ahhh!!! My legs! My legs!!" Bai Hao cried out, the intense pain his pampered body could not endure.
