“You must be joking. He dared to kill the eldest young master Ge?”
“Beating someone up and killing them are different concepts. Although the eldest young master Ge is a scion of privilege, he is still a direct descendant of the Ge family.”
“The Ge family has marital ties with many families. If they were to truly make a move, the Ge family could summon one or two Grandmasters to assist.”
“I think it’s just a threat. He wouldn’t kill him.”
Qin Hanchu’s words enraged the eldest young master Ge.
Although Qin Hanchu’s eyes were firm, the eldest young master Ge shared the same sentiment as the onlookers; he also believed Qin Hanchu was trying to scare him.
“You want me to kneel and beg for mercy? Impossible!” the eldest young master Ge declared haughtily.
Qin Hanchu glanced at Tianhu, who instantly appeared before the eldest young master Ge.
Before the eldest young master Ge could react, Tianhu’s palm struck the crown of his head fiercely.
Tianhu was a Grandmaster. How could his palm strike be withstand by the eldest young master Ge?
The eldest young master Ge collapsed on the spot, lifeless.
“Young master!”
The butler’s eyes widened in shock. He hadn’t expected Qin Hanchu to resort to killing.
And so casually, without any hesitation.
The eldest young master Ge’s followers were all trembling with fear.
If Qin Hanchu dared to kill the eldest young master Ge, they were even less significant.
“I said there was only one chance,”
Qin Hanchu shrugged helplessly.
The eldest young master Ge was arrogant and overbearing. He must have committed many evil deeds in the past. Eliminating him could be considered removing a scourge for the people.
“You… you actually dared to kill him! Our Ge family will not…”
Before the butler could finish speaking, Qin Hanchu coldly said, “Take his corpse and get lost, or your life will be forfeit too.”
Hearing this, the butler no longer dared to waste words. He quickly picked up the eldest young master Ge’s corpse and left.
Half an hour later, furious roars erupted from the Ge family courtyard.
“He killed my son, does he think the Ge family is easy to bully?”
“I will report this to the Old Ancestor immediately and ask him to come out and slay this person.”
The butler’s arm was cradled against his chest, and he said gravely, “Patriarch, this person might have Grandmasters backing him. Should we inform the third and fourth young ladies first?”
“You go and handle it immediately. Make sure the Han and Zheng families are prepared.”
“Once the opponent has Grandmasters, immediately invite the Han family’s Old Ancestor and the Zheng family’s Old Ancestor to assist.”
Over the years, the Ge family had been solidifying its influence through marriage alliances.
The Zheng and Han families were the two strongest families in these alliances.
Three years ago, the Han family’s Old Ancestor became a mid-stage Grandmaster, and the Zheng family’s Old Ancestor also broke through two years ago, reaching the early stage of Grandmaster.
With these two families as their backing, even if Qin Hanchu’s family was a hegemonic force, the Ge family would not be afraid.
That evening, the eldest young master Ge’s two elder cousins learned of his death.
Naturally, they were furious that their cousin had been killed.
Soon, the Han and Zheng families dispatched Grandmasters to assist in Hangzhou.
That night, Qin Hanchu and the other four checked into a seven-star hotel in Hangzhou.
Lin Xiaotian’s birthday banquet was also being held there.
At 8:30 in the morning, Qin Hanchu was accompanying Qin Yun and the other three on a shopping spree in Hangzhou’s commercial street.
While Qin Yun and the other three were trying on clothes, Qin Hanchu noticed that the store had been surrounded.
Qin Hanchu knew that the Ge family’s revenge had arrived.
“Civilians, leave!”
Soon, Ge family guards fiercely charged in.
Under the guards’ forceful expulsion, the store employees and customers were all driven out.
Qin Yun and the other three, hearing the commotion outside, also finished trying on their clothes and came out.
“They’ve come for trouble?” Lin Ying asked.
Qin Hanchu nodded, “Yes. You continue choosing clothes, I’ll handle this.”
Jin Hailu sat to the side and said, “Choosing clothes isn’t as interesting as watching a show.”
Qin Yun nodded, “You’re right.”
“What a pity there’s no sunflower seeds.” Since following Qin Hanchu, Tang Siwei had become accustomed to such scenes.
During this time, Tang Siwei’s perspective had broadened, and her vision and outlook had also expanded.
“You killed my son!”
After the clearing was completed, the Ge family patriarch, leading the Grandmaster powerhouses of his clan, walked in.
Upon seeing Qin Hanchu, the Ge family patriarch’s eyes blazed with hatred.
“Yes, it was me,” Qin Hanchu nodded.
“State your name, so I can notify your family to claim your corpse after you die!” the Ge family patriarch said, his killing intent palpable.
Qin Hanchu chuckled, “It’s better if you don’t know. If you knew, I’m afraid you wouldn’t dare to avenge your son.”
“You think this will scare me?” the Ge family patriarch roared. “Since you won’t say, then don’t say anything more. Die!”
“Fine, if you can take my life, then you have the ability.” Saying this, Qin Hanchu sat down on a chair.
Seeing Qin Hanchu’s contempt, the Ge family powerhouses were furious.
“You killed a scion of my Ge family. I will send you on your way.” After speaking, the elderly Grandmaster charged towards Qin Hanchu.
The moment the elder charged, the store’s glass suddenly shattered, and a steel arrow shot towards the elder’s chest.
The elderly Grandmaster’s eyes widened in surprise. He quickly dodged.
Bang!
Although the elder dodged the vital spot, he was still grazed on the shoulder by the arrowhead of the steel arrow.
A Grandmaster archer!
The elder looked out the window in shock.
At that very moment, the Ge family guards stationed outside were pushed aside.
Lao Gui and the others entered the store without any pressure.
“If you want to kill me, you’ll have to get past them first,” Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
The Ge family members’ eyes were filled with shock.
Could these five people all be Grandmasters?
Which family is this powerful?
Five Grandmasters protecting a junior!
Could it be a terrifying existence with late-stage Grandmaster cultivation!
If that were the case, even the Han and Zheng families would not be their match.
“Who exactly are you?” the Ge family patriarch gritted out.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose from outside.
Everyone turned to look, only to see a group of peacekeepers surrounding the Ge family members.
Immediately after, the Prefect of Jiangdong, leading a group of people, entered the store.
Qin Hanchu’s lips curved into a slight smile. This prefect had a good sense of timing.
“Prefect!” the Ge family patriarch asked in surprise, “What is the meaning of this?”
The Prefect of Jiangdong glanced coldly at the Ge family patriarch, then walked to Qin Hanchu’s side and cupped his hands, saying, “Greetings, Marquis Champion.”
Marquis Champion!
He is Marquis Champion!
All the Ge family members looked at Qin Hanchu in terror.
They never expected the person before them to be the Marquis Champion recently enfeoffed by the Great Yan Dynasty.
A Grandmaster at twenty-one years old, the idol of countless young martial artists in the Great Yan Dynasty.
No wonder Qin Hanchu did not take the Ge family seriously. With the status of Marquis Champion, what was the insignificant Ge family?
Just as Qin Hanchu had said, if Qin Hanchu had revealed his identity, the Ge family patriarch would not have had the courage to seek revenge.
To besiege Marquis Champion was a capital offense that would lead to the annihilation of their clan!
Who would have thought that the eldest young master Ge would be so blind as to provoke Marquis Champion.
“I have no choice but to see you this time,” Qin Hanchu said indifferently.
“My son has offended you greatly before. I implore Marquis Champion to overlook his transgressions,” the Prefect of Jiangdong respectfully bowed, offering a sincere apology.
