The party was a setup by Xiao Wuji for Haitong Group and Heilong Capital, intended to isolate them. As for Lu Yang, it was meant to be a staged revenge, but it seemed to have failed, with Lu Yang's strength far exceeding their expectations. Even top Muay Thai masters from Thailand were no match for Lu Yang.
However, this revenge was far from over. If fighting was not an option, then moral coercion would be employed. Since they were on his territory, they could do as they pleased.
"An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?"
"Your people provoked me first, then hired someone to beat me. Now that they've lost, they're demanding an explanation? Xiao Wuji, aren't you being a bit too childish, playing such games?" Lu Yang said with a cold smile, glancing at Xiao Wuji.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. I kindly invited you to my party. Instead of being grateful, you assaulted my guest. If you don't provide a proper explanation, I'll call the police immediately!" Xiao Wuji said with a light smile. "I believe China is a place that upholds justice, and the police will handle this properly for me!"
"Fine, why don't you call the police and see who they take away, me or you bunch of gluttons who are aggressive and attacked me first?" Lu Yang retorted dismissively. He knew this was a trap set for him, but it was just a childish game he didn't care about.
Seeing Lu Yang's composure, Xiao Wuji's expression turned cold. He turned to Bai Hao and said, "Bai Hao, call the police and have them arrest this idiot!"
"Young Master Xiao, this good-for-nothing has a close relationship with the deputy director of the police bureau. It might be difficult to arrest him today," Bai Hao said hesitantly into Xiao Wuji's ear.
"What? Didn't you say you have a good relationship with the police chief's son? Can't you handle this small matter?" Xiao Wuji asked in a low, grim tone.
"I..."
"The main issue is that this guy has too many women who favor him. The deputy director of the police bureau seems to be quite fond of him and always helps him. Even Young Master Zhao can't do anything about it," Bai Hao continued.
"Useless, all of you are useless!" Xiao Wuji roared coldly, then turned his gaze back to Lu Yang and said, "I'll let you off the hook this time. But for now, please leave Cloudtop Villa. This is my territory, not a place for you to cause trouble!"
"Let me leave? They wasted the food here, and they must kneel down and eat all the things on the ground. Otherwise, this matter won't end today!" Lu Yang said, rubbing his hands with a smile.
Seeing the coldness in Lu Yang's eyes, Dong Yan, who had been smug moments ago, shivered involuntarily.
"What? Does this good-for-nothing not understand human language? This is Young Master Xiao's territory, and everything here belongs to him. You can't just point fingers. Young Master Xiao is letting you go today; you should be grateful and leave immediately, or even if Young Master Xiao spares you, we, the influential families of Jiangbei City, won't!" Ji Xueshuang stepped forward and yelled at Lu Yang coldly.
"Lu Yang, let's leave quickly. We shouldn't stay here any longer. If we anger everyone, we really won't be able to leave," Tang Shimin said, her face darkening, as she tugged at Lu Yang's sleeve.
"Shimin, don't worry. That woman just hit you, and I will definitely make her kneel and apologize," Lu Yang said with a smile to Tang Shimin. He didn't care if he was insulted, but he would never let Dong Yan off for kicking Tang Shimin.
"I don't need him to apologize to me. Let's take what we can get. If we truly offend so many influential families, not only will you and your Heilong Capital be finished, but our Tang family will also suffer," Tang Shimin said, unaware of Lu Yang's identity. Seeing so many powerful figures, she was terrified and almost in tears. Yet, this reckless fool Lu Yang refused to leave, relying on his fighting ability and showing no regard for anyone. But what use was fighting ability? What if they used their wealth to crush the Tang family? What good would his methods do?
"Lu Yang, you truly court death. Since you insist on dying, I'll tell you this: because of your actions today, I am extremely displeased. I have decided to use all means tomorrow to suppress Haitong Group and Heilong Capital. Once Haitong Group falls, what is your Heilong Capital?" Xiao Wuji said, his face utterly cold, speaking word by word. "And the Tang family, I will personally destroy it! All of this is because you angered me, forcing me to implement my plans early and move against Haitong Group and Heilong Capital!"
"Young Master Xiao is finally making a move against Haitong Group. This time, all the influential families of Jiangbei City stand behind Young Master Xiao. The combined force is too powerful; what is a mere Haitong Group?"
"Indeed, the Xiao family is a prominent family from Yanjing. With a flick of their fingers, they can mobilize hundreds of billions in funds, more than enough to deal with Haitong Group and Heilong Capital!"
"I heard that behind Young Master Xiao, there is a special department in China, with the direct daughter of the Lingque leader as a backing. If they provoke this person, even with powerful connections, they will not escape ruin!"
"..."
Upon hearing Xiao Wuji's words, the wealthy guests' faces showed excitement. They were ready to follow Xiao Wuji, divide the assets of Haitong Group and Heilong Capital, and celebrate their spoils.
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Young Master Xiao truly has grand ambitions!"
"Then let me see how capable you are!"
Hearing this, Lu Yang remained relaxed, completely unfazed by Xiao Wuji's words.
"What are you? Do you think you're worthy?"
"Director Lin, Miss Shen, you should be thinking about how to deal with our joint attack tomorrow!" Xiao Wuji said with disdain, glancing at Lu Yang before turning his attention to Lin Guoxiong and Shen Yiman.
Shen Yiman was clearly nervous. She knew that Xiao Wuji had united so many wealthy individuals, with available funds no less than eighty to one hundred billion. Attacking Haitong Group would be incredibly easy. Her Heilong Capital would likely suffer the same fate, perishing in this business war.
However, Lin Guoxiong remained calm, smiling at Xiao Wuji and saying, "Young Master Xiao, I hope your wish comes true and you don't lose the bride and the army."
"You..."
"Silence!"
Just as Xiao Wuji was about to say more, a voice suddenly rang out, and a hunched old man walked out.
