Now it was Tang Muting's turn to lose his composure. Gone was his previous nonchalant tea-drinking demeanor; an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Although the Tang family is a prestigious family, and one of the thirteen most prestigious families, wielding considerable power and commanding a large army, people like Tang Muting are merely being used by the Tang family. Although he was raised under the guise of an adopted son, he was never allowed to get involved with the army or the elite guards. He was only allowed to help manage the family's business and had no real power.

So someone like Tang Muting had never seen such a scene before. This little commotion was enough to make him panic.

His abilities are limited to business; he struggles to handle matters that require his life.

Compared to Tang Muting, the big man was slightly calmer. He was only stunned at first, but quickly recovered and grabbed the big knife next to him, slashing at An Le.

He always used this broadsword to deal with emergencies, just in case he encountered someone like this who was capable of violence, so he picked it up without hesitation, it was very easy for him to handle.

If it had been someone else, that stab might have hit them.

But the other party happened to be Anle, who possessed the system of pastoral life and had the skill of lightning. She remained quite calm in the face of the big man wielding a knife.

Without blinking, he manipulated his thoughts and directed them at the burly man. The burly man, holding a large sword, hadn't even brought it down on An Le when he was struck as if by lightning, shaking violently on the spot, his eyes rolling back, his body convulsing, and crackling with electricity.

To generate buzz, Anle made quite a fuss.

A thunderclap boomed in the clear sky, the lightning flashing right beside his ears, and the burly man collapsed to the ground.

Although the man was down, Anle had handled the situation carefully and did not kill him. He planned to drag the man to court later, where he would be used as evidence. He would not let the man die so easily.

Tang Muting's face was pale, and he looked at An Le as if he had seen a ghost, his previous composure completely gone.

"Who...who are you?"

“Yes, who do you think I am? You dare to touch me? You’re incredibly audacious. If you’ve messed with me, your Tang family is finished.” Anle said, raising a hand with lightning crackling around it.

The shimmering blue-purple light swirled around Anle's arms, like flowing fish and tadpoles, obediently clinging to her entire arm and palm, causing her no harm whatsoever. On the contrary, it was completely under Anle's control.

This was the first time Anle had displayed his abilities in front of outsiders. His face was cold, his eyes were like ice crystals, and his tone was sharp.

"Tell me, how should I punish your Tang family? You've done this for the Tang family, haven't you? How many sins has the Tang family committed?"

"Give me a piece of paper and a pen, and write down everything clearly, one by one." An Le walked leisurely towards Tang Muting, sat down in the chair Tang Muting had been sitting in, and looked at the desk in front of her.

Wow, you've got quite a bit of equipment.

The inkpad, paper, and pens were quite complete.

That's perfect for her. She pulled a calligraphy brush from the pen holder on the desk, casually tossed it to Tang Muting, nodded at the thick stack of papers on the desk, crossed her arms in front of her chest, put her legs up on the desk, and sat down in a bossy manner, glancing at Tang Muting with a nonchalant look.

"Come on, write it down."

Seeing Tang Muting cowering, his face stiff, not daring to move, she curled her lips into a smile.

"This isn't something you can just choose not to write. Don't be naive and think the Tang family will save you. If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet."

Your Tang family is too naive. You still don't know when to stop with these kinds of shady dealings. Tch, you have a perfectly respectable family name, but you insist on doing those shameful and insidious things.

However, if you're going to do it, you have to be prepared to run into tough opponents. Your Tang family should be mentally prepared to be defeated by tough opponents.

"I don't have much time. I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Hurry up and write it down clearly. If you don't finish, you'll end up like those two lying on the ground." Anle leisurely lit an incense stick and started the timer.

As Anle spoke, she glanced at the fat woman. The fat woman had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead since earlier. Don't think she didn't know she was faking it. Anle knew how to control her strength. She was just trying to scare her. She didn't actually use a strong voltage on her. Otherwise, there would be no room for her to pretend to be dead. She would have been burned to a crisp long ago.

Tang Muting's breathing was a little erratic, and his mind was a bit confused. He followed An Le's gaze to look at the big man lying on the ground and could clearly see that wisps of black smoke were still rising from his hair.

"I...I'll write it, I'll write it right now, I'll write down everything I know, can you...let me off the hook?"

Anle glanced lazily at Tang Muting and casually said, "It depends on my mood. If you do something that satisfies me, I might let you off the hook."

A wise person knows when to yield to circumstances, and Tang Muting is quite astute in this regard, knowing exactly what to do and when to do it.

"Please tell me, please tell me. As long as it's something you say I can do, I will definitely do it."

Anle raised an eyebrow, as if she had remembered something, and suddenly said, "You know what, I actually have something to say. I heard that a little maid has recently come to your manor, that little maid with brute strength. Release her for me and send her to my uncle's manor."

Tang Muting's deathly pale face froze. His Tang family had indeed brought in such a young girl. The purpose of bringing her in was quite obvious: Tang Muming intended to give her as a gift to the lord of Esleiden, in order to curry favor with him and secure the rights to the goods.

Thinking of this, Tang Muting looked troubled.

"Grandma, that little girl isn't under my jurisdiction. She's under Tang Muming's command. If I get involved, wouldn't that be like taking her away from him?"

Upon hearing this, An Le narrowed his eyes, and the blue-purple light on his hand flickered again. Tang Muting immediately cowered at this sight.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it, I'll definitely find a way." Although that's what he said, Tang Muting had his own plans. He intended to appease the little girl first, and then report to the clan later to take her down.

This little girl exudes an eerie aura; she's truly sinister. He dares not disobey her now.

They were terrified that they might accidentally be struck by lightning.

That thunderclap just now was no joke.
