The prefect lord's apology further weighed down the hearts of the Ge family members.
Even the prefect lord dared not provoke Qin Han Chu, and the Ge family had even less courage to oppose him.
"Discipline your son well. If he continues to be arrogant, he will eventually bring trouble upon you."
The Jiang Dong Prefect Lord had apologized many times, so Qin Han Chu no longer pursued the matter.
"Understood. I will discipline him strictly." After speaking, the Jiang Dong Prefect Lord looked at the Ge family members, "You people actually dared to surround and kill the Champion Marquis. Are you tired of living?"
The Grandmaster powerhouses from each family hastily said, "Prefect Lord, please observe. We did not know this was the Champion Marquis."
"My Lord, it was our Ge family's fault for not recognizing your greatness. We beg for your forgiveness," another Grandmaster hurriedly said to Qin Han Chu.
The Ge family head also recovered his senses. He gritted his teeth and said, "My rebellious son dared to provoke Your Lord. He deserves to die. My Ge family is willing to offer one billion as compensation."
"You're not seeking revenge?" Qin Han Chu asked.
The Ge family head and the Ge family members immediately knelt on the ground. "We beg Your Lord for forgiveness!"
"You should be fortunate, because I am not a bloodthirsty person."
"If you want revenge, come find me."
"Remember, do not lay a hand on anyone around me."
"As long as I am alive, anyone who dares to touch someone beside me will have their entire family annihilated!"
Qin Han Chu looked coldly at the Ge family members.
"We dare not!" the Ge family members said with their heads bowed.
Qin Han Chu waved his hand. "Scram."
Upon hearing this, the Ge family felt as if they had been granted a great pardon and quickly retreated.
After the Ge family members left, Qin Han Chu said to the prefect lord, "You all should leave too. We are going shopping."
"As long as you are in Jiang Dong Prefecture, feel free to come to me if anything happens." With that, the prefect lord led his people away.
"Have the swordsmen keep an eye on the Ge family. If they play any dirty tricks, eliminate them," Qin Han Chu said to Old Ghost after everyone had left.
Old Ghost nodded. "Understood."
"How does it feel to have power?" Lin Ying asked.
"It's alright," Qin Han Chu smiled.
"Having the power of life and death in your hands is something many people dream of," Jin Hailu said calmly.
"Han Chu, remember not to become a bloodthirsty person," Qin Yun reminded him.
Qin Han Chu nodded. "Understood."
At eleven thirty in the morning, Qin Han Chu finally returned to the hotel with Lin Ying to attend the birthday banquet.
Meanwhile, Qin Yun and the other two continued their shopping and sightseeing.
Lin Xiaotian, as a former Tiger Commander, naturally had extremely strong connections.
Moreover, Lin Ying's father was the current Dragon General.
With General Lin's abilities, he had a high probability of reaching the position of Tiger Commander in the future.
Numerous luxury cars were gathered in the hotel parking lot.
Anyone qualified to attend the birthday banquet was a prominent figure in Jiang Dong Prefecture.
"Xin Xin." As soon as they arrived at the hotel entrance, they saw Xin Xin stepping out of a car with Situ Guang Tao.
Although the Situ family did not have a Grandmaster, they held considerable status in Jiang Dong.
Xin Xin saw Qin Han Chu and the other two and happily ran over.
"Senior Situ," Qin Han Chu said with a smile as he approached Situ Guang Tao.
Situ Guang Tao smiled and said, "We meet again. Can we talk?"
Qin Han Chu nodded. "Of course."
Afterward, Qin Han Chu and Situ Guang Tao walked away.
"What are they talking about again?" Xin Xin asked curiously, seeing Situ Guang Tao pull Qin Han Chu away once more.
"Marrying you off to Han Chu," Lin Ying chuckled.
"If that were the case, wouldn't you have to kill me?" Xin Xin laughed.
Lin Ying grinned slyly, "Why would I kill you? Isn't it better to have both?"
"Ew... you're so wicked!"
In a secluded area, Situ Guang Tao looked at Qin Han Chu and said gratefully, "Thank you."
Qin Han Chu smiled. "Why thank me?"
"It was you who found someone to save our Situ family, wasn't it?" Situ Guang Tao asked.
"Why do you say that?" Qin Han Chu asked with a smile.
Qin Han Chu's expression made Situ Guang Tao even more certain of his guess.
Faced with his question, Qin Han Chu showed no surprise at all.
"All signs indicate that there must be a Grandmaster powerhouse protecting you from behind."
"You helped us because of Xin Xin, right?" Situ Guang Tao said.
"It's good that the family crisis has passed. Who acted is not important," Qin Han Chu said.
"I understand." Situ Guang Tao knew Qin Han Chu didn't want to reveal his trump card, so he didn't press further.
"Let's go to the banquet," Qin Han Chu said with a smile.
Situ Guang Tao nodded. "Please."
At the hotel entrance, Xin Xin and Lin Ying were chatting.
Just then, a Maybach stopped at the hotel entrance.
As the car door opened, an old man stepped out first.
This old man was none other than the Sea Transport Elder of the Huangfu family.
By the Sea Transport Elder's side were a young man and a young woman.
These two were the direct descendants of the Huangfu family.
"Old Ancestor, that girl is Situ Xin Xin of the Situ family," Huangfu Dao Ming stepped forward and whispered into the Sea Transport Elder's ear.
Upon hearing this, the Sea Transport Elder's gaze fell upon Situ Xin Xin.
"Where is your father?" the Sea Transport Elder said coldly.
Xin Xin looked at the Sea Transport Elder in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"
"This is our Huangfu family's Old Ancestor," Huangfu Dao Ming said proudly.
"My father will be here soon. Do you need him for something?" The Huangfu family was renowned in Jiang Dong, and as a young lady from a noble family, Xin Xin naturally knew how powerful the Huangfu family was.
Seeing that the other party was a Grandmaster from the Huangfu family, Xin Xin's attitude became polite.
If she knew that the Sea Transport Elder had nearly annihilated the Situ family, she would never have acted this way.
Just then, Qin Han Chu and Situ Guang Tao walked back from not far away.
The Sea Transport Elder's gaze fell upon Situ Guang Tao.
Seeing the Sea Transport Elder, Situ Guang Tao's eyes turned cold. "Enemies meet on a narrow road."
Soon, the two parties collided.
"Situ Guang Tao, I'll give you one more chance. Hand over the key," the Sea Transport Elder threatened coldly. "Don't think that mysterious person can protect you forever."
"As I said, we don't know about any key, nor do we know about any treasure," Situ Guang Tao said.
"Tell that strong individual behind you that I want to see him," the Sea Transport Elder said coldly.
"We don't know who that senior is, so we can't contact him," Situ Guang Tao said.
"Is that so? Then we'll surround Situ Village again," the Sea Transport Elder snorted. "Doesn't he want to protect your family? If he doesn't show up, your Situ family should prepare to be annihilated."
"The Situ family are my friends. If you dare to touch them, I will make your family pay the price," Qin Han Chu said indifferently, looking at the Sea Transport Elder.
"How dare you, you insignificant brat from nowhere..."
Slap!
Before Huangfu Dao Ming could finish speaking, Qin Han Chu's palm fiercely struck him across the face.
The Huangfu Old Ancestor did not expect Qin Han Chu to dare to act in front of him.
"You're seeking death!" The Huangfu Old Ancestor was furious. He raised his hand to attack Qin Han Chu.
"Stop!" At this moment, Lin Ying reprimanded.
The Huangfu Old Ancestor looked at Lin Ying and said angrily, "And who are you? How dare you interfere in my business?"
"My grandfather is Lin Xiaotian!" Lin Ying said.
