It was indeed Zhang Pingfan who appeared.
"Who are you? Security, security!"
Zhang Pingfan uttered in a low voice.
"No need to shout. I've already taken down all the Awakened ones around here. Now it's just the three of us!"
Just as Zhang Pingfan had said, after Nangong Jingtian yelled a few times, no one answered.
"What do you want?"
This was Nangong Jingtian's first reaction. After all, families like theirs had many enemies from their past dealings.
Zhang Pingfan said, "Stop all suppression of the Dou family immediately. You've gone far enough."
Nangong Jingtian frowned. So, this person was invited by the Dou family.
Nangong Hongliu had been observing Zhang Pingfan. This figure bore a resemblance to the one who had previously killed the high-level demon slaves.
Moreover, to be able to appear behind them silently, such a person was definitely not simple. Especially since their surroundings were guarded by numerous Awakened ones, yet not a single one could make a sound.
"Friend, you are the one who killed the high-level demon slave that day, aren't you!"
Without any hesitation, Zhang Pingfan nodded and said.
"That's right, it was me. Do you have any other questions now?"
Nangong Hongliu asked again, "How much did the Dou family pay you? My Nangong family is willing to offer double!"
Zhang Pingfan smiled.
"Are you trying to negotiate with me?"
"Of course not. Since the Dou family is willing to pay you, my Nangong family can do the same. For a master like you, our family only wishes to befriend you, not make an enemy. As long as you agree, we can immediately cease our attacks on the Dou family. What do you say?"
"Crash!"
A bolt of lightning instantly turned the solid wood table and chairs next to Nangong Hongliu into powder.
"I told you not to negotiate with me. If you want to turn into powder too, you can continue negotiating!"
Nangong Hongliu's face remained impassive, though inwardly he was in a panic. The reason he was so calm now was because he was stunned. He never expected a single person to possess such terrifying power.
Nangong Hongliu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Since the esteemed master has spoken, we will definitely not trouble the Dou family anymore. From now on, our grievances with the Dou family are settled. What do you say?"
Zhang Pingfan nodded with great satisfaction.
"Alright. Those who know their limits are wise. By the way, I need to ask you for someone else!"
"Ask for someone? Esteemed master, did someone from our Nangong family offend you?"
Zhang Pingfan said, "You don't need to know that. I need to take away a young girl named Nangong Qingyu!"
Nangong Hongliu and Nangong Jingtian's hearts skipped a beat.
"Esteemed master, did our Qingyu offend you in any way? Why must you take her away?"
Zhang Pingfan's sharp gaze fixed on Nangong Jingtian, who suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"Stop talking nonsense and quickly bring the person here!"
Nangong Hongliu said, "Qingyu is my granddaughter. If you take her away like this, I at least need to know the reason. Otherwise, I will call the police immediately. No matter how powerful you are, you can't go against a nation!"
Nangong Hongliu, who was the author, took out his phone, but the next moment, the entire phone was struck by lightning and began to smoke.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to her. I'm just taking her to Dou Youyou, that's all!"
Dou Youyou again. Nangong Zhenghao also went to Dou Youyou's side, and now Nangong Qingyu is being taken there. What exactly does this Dou Youyou want to do?
"Esteemed master, can you tell us the reason?"
Zhang Pingfan, too lazy to explain, began to unleash the lightning in his hands.
"I'll give you five minutes. If I don't see Nangong Qingyu in five minutes, then the entire Nangong family will cease to exist!"
Zhang Pingfan's voice was cold, and he didn't sound like he was joking. This made even Nangong Hongliu, who had seen his fair share of major events, break out in a cold sweat.
"Alright, I'll bring her over now!"
They never imagined that the Dou family alone would bring them such great trouble.
With a mere flick of a finger from the person before them, their lives could be taken, leaving them feeling fearful and uneasy.
Nangong Qingyu was also utterly bewildered.
She was in the middle of a game when she was hurriedly brought here.
Seeing Zhang Pingfan dressed in black, Nangong Qingyu appeared somewhat uneasy.
Zhang Pingfan offered Nangong Qingyu a kind smile.
"Come here. I'll take you to your senior sister Dou Youyou. Of course, your senior brother Chang Sheng will also be there!"
Nangong Qingyu seemed unsure of what to do.
"I..."
At this moment, Nangong Hongliu couldn't care less whether she was his granddaughter and urgently pushed her towards Zhang Pingfan.
"Esteemed master, Qingyu has been brought. We will also abide by our promise!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded.
"Let's go!"
However, Nangong Qingyu, who was shy, did not want to go with Zhang Pingfan.
Who would go with a stranger for no reason? Either they were foolish or had some problem with their brains.
Seeing Nangong Qingyu's lack of reaction.
Nangong Hongliu broke out in a cold sweat.
"Qingyu, just go with him. You're just going to your senior sister Dou Youyou's place. If you're not used to living there, you can come back anytime!"
Although this grandfather didn't treat her very well, at least he wouldn't sell her, right?
"Okay, then I'll go get some things!"
With a thunderous step, Zhang Pingfan scooped up Nangong Qingyu and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.
Watching Zhang Pingfan and Nangong Qingyu disappear into the horizon, Nangong Jingtian was left speechless.
"He's so powerful, but why didn't he act a few days ago? Why did he have to wait until now?"
Nangong Hongliu couldn't understand why Zhang Pingfan hadn't acted from the beginning but had appeared just as they were about to drive the Dou family to bankruptcy.
In fact, they didn't know that Zhang Pingfan had merely intended to use the Nangong family to discipline the Dou family's father and son. However, it seemed the Nangong family was more ruthless than Zhang Pingfan had anticipated.
In just three days, they had nearly driven them to bankruptcy.
Nangong Qingyu hid in Zhang Pingfan's arms, not daring to make a sound. As she watched the scenery rush past, her heart was anything but calm.
After only about ten minutes, the two stopped in front of a villa.
"Alright, we're here!"
After saying that, Zhang Pingfan put her down and once again disappeared into the night sky.
Moments later, Dou Youyou came out of the villa, her face filled with excitement as she ran to Nangong Qingyu's side.
"Qingyu sister, you're here! Quick, come inside with me!"
Nangong Qingyu, still recovering from the shock, saw Dou Youyou approaching her with a smile.
"Don't just stand there blankly. This isn't the capital anymore. The Nangong family won't be looking after you. Let's go!"
Saying that, she pulled the disbelieving Nangong Qingyu into the villa.
