One million?
Qin Han Chu laughed dismissively. His master's investment company was valued in the hundreds of billions; why would he care about a mere million?
The Han Group was the leading enterprise in Island City, yet its market value was only fifty billion.
Qin Han Chu's assets were several times that of the Han Group.
"Our engagement is canceled today. But Lin Wansheng's illness will be returned to you." With that, Qin Han Chu took out the engagement contract and tore it to shreds on the spot.
"What do you mean?" Seeing the fragments of the engagement contract fall to the ground, Lin Wansheng had a bad feeling.
"Remember the torment you suffered before? It will return to you today."
As he spoke, Qin Han Chu grabbed Lin Wansheng.
Before the latter could react, Qin Han Chu's fingers had already pressed onto him.
Previously, Lin Wansheng suffered daily unbearable torment due to his twisted meridians.
To beg Hu Qingshan to treat him, he had promised Lin Jiaxue to Qin Han Chu.
Now that he had gone back on his word, Qin Han Chu naturally had to make him bear the consequences.
All the guests watched Qin Han Chu's actions in shock.
No one expected the engagement banquet to turn out this way.
Han Shou Ye's face turned red with anger. The humiliation today had to be washed away with Qin Han Chu's life.
"What are you all standing around for? Cripple him!"
The Han family guards were still immersed in the shock of the previous moments.
They hadn't expected Qin Han Chu to be so ruthless.
Han Shou Ye's roar jolted the guards awake. They drew out their telescopic bayonets and charged at Qin Han Chu.
Seeing this, the guests retreated to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
With over thirty guards acting in unison, the momentum was immense.
Qin Han Chu, however, showed no fear facing them.
Let alone these thirty-odd people, even a hundred guards wouldn't be able to harm Qin Han Chu.
"Stop!"
Just as Qin Han Chu was about to make a move, a woman's voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned to look and saw a stunningly beautiful woman with long, flowing hair and a tall, slender figure walk into the banquet hall.
In terms of both appearance and aura, this beauty surpassed Lin Jia Xue.
Even though her expression was like an iceberg, she still exuded an enchanting charm.
Behind this beauty followed a group of guards in black.
These guards had a majestic golden lion embroidered on their right shoulders!
"Jin Hailu of the Golden Lion Group! She's here too!"
"That's not right. Why did Jin Hailu bring so many guards? It doesn't look like she's here for the banquet, more like to crash it!"
"The Golden Lion Group used to be able to compete with the Han Group, but now they've fallen to second-tier status. Do they dare to provoke the Han Group?"
The guests looked at Jin Hailu in surprise, whispering amongst themselves.
"Jin Hailu, what do you mean by this?" Han Shou Ye asked angrily as Jin Hailu led the Golden Lion Group guards into the banquet hall.
"I'm here to pick someone up," Jin Hailu said indifferently.
"You're early," Qin Han Chu said at this moment, surrounded.
"If I hadn't come early, do you think you could still leave?" Jin Hailu's expression remained cold, her words filled with a distant tone.
The dialogue between the two shocked everyone further.
They hadn't expected Jin Hailu to be allied with Qin Han Chu.
Jin Hailu had brought the Golden Lion guards to provide backup for Qin Han Chu.
"Jin Hailu, do you know what you're doing? Are you trying to start a war with our Han Group?" Han Shou Ye glared at Jin Hailu.
"Hasn't the Han Group been trying to seize the Golden Lion Group's market?" Jin Hailu said, leading the Golden Lion guards towards the Han Group guards.
The Han Group guards, seeing this, quickly turned to confront the Golden Lion Group guards.
"Draw your swords!" Jin Hailu commanded coldly.
At Jin Hailu's order, the Golden Lion Group guards drew their short swords!
In an instant, both sides were at a standoff, a bloody battle about to erupt.
"Jin Hailu, if you leave now, I won't pursue this matter!" Han Shou Ye said, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. "Otherwise, after today, the Han Group and the Golden Lion Group will be in a full-blown war!"
"Then let there be war!" Jin Hailu replied indifferently, then asked Qin Han Chu, "Can we go now?"
"There's still one more thing to do!" After saying this, Qin Han Chu grabbed Lin Jia Xue's chin.
Lin Jia Xue screamed in fear. At that moment, Qin Han Chu placed a pill into her mouth.
With a gentle tap from Qin Han Chu, Lin Jia Xue involuntarily swallowed the pill.
"You... what did you give me?" Lin Jia Xue asked Qin Han Chu in terror.
Qin Han Chu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, this won't harm you! But for fifteen years, anyone who dares to kiss you or share a bed with you will rot and die!"
"What!" Lin Jia Xue's eyes widened in shock.
Fifteen years!
She couldn't date for fifteen years?
After fifteen years, she would be a forty-year-old woman.
"This is too cruel! With this, would Han Liang still dare to marry Lin Jia Xue?"
"Could it be a bluff? I've never heard of such a poison."
"Who dares to try it? What if it's true?"
"You... why are you doing this to me!" Lin Jia Xue roared at Qin Han Chu in anger.
"This is the punishment for your breaking your promise!" Qin Han Chu said coldly.
"Discharge Lin Jia Xue immediately, or I'll kill you!" Han Liang had thought he would win the beauty today, but unexpectedly, Qin Han Chu appeared to disrupt everything.
The engagement banquet had become a joke, and Qin Han Chu had even poisoned Lin Jia Xue!
He hadn't even had a taste of Lin Jia Xue yet!
Although he thought Qin Han Chu was lying, he dared not gamble!
What if Qin Han Chu was telling the truth?
"Kill me? Do you have the ability?" Although Qin Han Chu had only recently descended the mountain, his strength was by no means something a mere Han family could contend with.
Since childhood, Hu Qingshan had poured countless efforts into Qin Han Chu.
Despite his young age, Qin Han Chu's martial arts and medical skills were already at the pinnacle.
Even the current God of War, Qin Han Chu was confident he could fight!
"Kill him!" Han Liang, enraged, shouted at the Han family guards.
As the young master had ordered, the Han family guards naturally obeyed.
Over a dozen guards charged at Qin Han Chu.
"Kill!" Seeing the Han Group make a move against Qin Han Chu, Jin Hailu waved her hand and shouted.
In an instant, the guards from both sides were engaged in a melee.
The flash of blades and swords was exceptionally perilous.
Facing the charging dozen guards, Qin Han Chu met them with a cold smile.
Upon initial contact, a guard was sent flying by Qin Han Chu's kick.
"All of you, stop!"
Amidst the chaos, a terrifying roar echoed throughout the banquet hall.
The voice carried a fearsome authority that sent chills down one's spine.
The guards from both sides involuntarily stopped fighting and turned to look.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, a burly middle-aged man entered with steady steps.
A vast aura of authority emanated from this middle-aged man.
Merely by his presence, it was evident that this person held a high position and immense power!
"The Governor!"
Seeing this person, everyone's face contorted in fear.
Even Han Shou Ye and Jin Hailu showed expressions of apprehension.
This man was the most powerful figure in Island City. As long as they were in Island City, they were under his control!
"Governor!" Han Shou Ye hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his fists respectfully, saying, "I had no idea the Governor would grace us with his presence. Please forgive our lack of proper welcome!"
"Greetings, Governor!" The other guests also cupped their fists and bowed respectfully.
This scene fully displayed the Governor's authority!
Even the icy beauty Jin Hailu bowed respectfully at this moment.
"I heard the Han Group was holding an engagement banquet. I intended to come for a drink, but instead, I witnessed quite a show!" the Governor said angrily. "Engaging in armed confrontation in broad daylight, do you not respect me, your Governor?"
