At the man's command, a burly man who looked like a bodyguard immediately surrounded Zhu Jiayi.

Zhu Jiaxing was furious upon seeing this and wanted to rush forward, but he was held tightly by another strong man and could not move at all.

Zhu Jiayi glanced at Zhu Jiaxing, then looked directly at him.

As the head of the Lihao Hotel, Zhu Jiayi had seen many big scenes. She quickly suppressed her fear and spoke with a gloomy face.

"Zhao Kunpeng! Do you even know what you're doing? You really don't respect the Zhu family at all!"

His long-held aura of power suddenly erupted, looking somewhat intimidating, but Zhao Kunpeng burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"The Zhu family? It's just you two unfortunate siblings relying on each other for survival!"

"Besides, my brother is the captain of the first squad of the Divine Martial Pavilion, and my sister is the wife of a high-ranking leader of the Divine Martial Pavilion. Even if I make a move against you, what can you do about it!"

"Who in Yandu dares to touch me?!"

Zhu Jiayi bit her lower lip tightly, trying her best not to lose face, but her heart was ice-cold.

Zhao Kunpeng has been harassing her for some time now.

At first, he pursued her politely, but after she repeatedly rejected him, he began to use every means at his disposal.

They used every means at their disposal: monetary inducements, business coercion, and physical bullying.

She resisted many times and even tried to punish Zhao Kunpeng by other means, but the Zhao family was too powerful and influential for her to deal with.

That's why she was willing to spend a lot of money to auction off that box of black fire bombs, all to protect herself from Zhao Kunpeng.

And the power of the black fire bomb did not disappoint her.

A few days ago, Zhao Kunpeng tried to force her to submit using forceful means, but she taught him a lesson with a black fire bomb.

I thought Zhao Kunpeng would behave himself, but I didn't expect to receive a threatening text message from him yesterday.

Zhao Kunpeng set his sights on Zhu Jiaxing.

Zhu Jiayi didn't care about anything, and was even determined to fight Zhao Kunpeng to the death, but she couldn't put Zhu Jiaxing in danger.

This is her own younger brother, whom she grew up with!

She kept these things a secret from everyone, just to avoid involving Zhu Jiaxing. After all, that guy's personality was like a bomb, ready to explode at any moment. She was afraid that Zhu Jiaxing would do something irreversible if he found out.

But now Zhao Kunpeng's actions have clearly enraged him.

Zhu Jiayi originally wanted to stall Zhao Kunpeng for a few days to think of a way to deal with him, but she never expected that the two of them would run into each other here!

Just as Zhu Jiaxing was about to be strangled and couldn't breathe, Zhu Jiayi was forced into a corner and was about to agree when suddenly a figure rushed up.

"Who goes there?!"

Zhao Kunpeng looked up and saw a girl who looked like a fairy standing in front of him. Zhu Jiayi was standing behind her, and even Zhu Jiaxing, who had been restrained, had been rescued by her and was now protecting her.

Zhao Kunpeng was instantly captivated by the girl's beautiful face, but when he saw her pointed ears, he immediately frowned.

"An elf?"

Unexpectedly, the girl in front of him was an elf, which meant she was someone else's beast tamer.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kunpeng looked around.

Sure enough, not far away, he spotted Lu Yuan staring at him with a half-smile.

"Hey! Kid, is this spirit your tamed beast?"

Lu Yuan ignored him and strode towards the Zhu siblings.

Are you alright?

Zhu Jiayi, supporting Zhu Jiaxing, shook her head at Lu Yuan.

Zhao Kunpeng was furious when he realized he had been ignored.

"Hey! You brat, didn't you hear me talking to you?!"

Zhao Kunpeng's loud voice was deafening, and only then did Lu Yuan look up and glance at him indifferently.

"Whose dog wasn't properly leashed and let a rabid dog out to bite people? Doesn't it know where it is, daring to bark here like that!"

Zhao Kunpeng's eyes widened instantly, and he shouted angrily, "Who the hell are you calling a dog?!"

Lu Yuan scoffed, "So you're just going to insult whoever picks up the conversation!"

"you……!"

Zhao Kunpeng had always had a smooth life, and because of the power of the Zhao family, no one dared to disobey him. Now, being called a dog to his face by Lu Yuan, he was so shocked that he couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

It wasn't until half a day later that I suddenly came to my senses.

"You little brat, do you even know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that? Watch out, or I'll make you regret it!"

"Oh! Then I should thank you!" Lu Yuan chuckled. "But I'm a picky eater. If you're going to treat me to a meal, it has to be at the best restaurant in Yandu, and I won't eat anything other than the most exquisite delicacies!"

"You're talking nonsense! When did I say I was going to treat you to dinner?" Zhao Kunpeng jumped up and down.

"Huh?" Lu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't you just say I'd be in deep trouble if I couldn't handle it? Don't worry, I'll definitely pack up a few extra portions to take home and feed to my dog!"

"You! You!!"

Zhao Kunpeng pointed at Lu Yuan, his face turning red with anger.

He thought he was shameless enough, how could someone be even more shameless than him?!

Knowing he couldn't win an argument with Lu Yuan, Zhao Kunpeng stopped wasting words and immediately waved to the two bodyguards behind him.

"Go! Take them down!"

Seeing this, Zhu Jiayi, who was standing next to Lu Yuan, tugged at his sleeve and spoke with a serious expression.

"Ah Yuan, Zhao Kunpeng has powerful backing. Don't get involved in this matter. I'll handle it myself. Please take Ah Xing and leave quickly!"

"Sister! I'm not leaving!"

Zhu Jiaxing endured the pain and straightened his back, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Zhao Kunpeng.

He knew Zhu Jiayi was hiding something from him, but only now did he realize that she had been targeted by this beast!

Zhu Jiayi is the older sister who has protected him since childhood, and he will not let Zhao Kunpeng succeed no matter what!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kunpeng burst into laughter as if he had heard a joke.

"Trying to leave? You're all staying here! Not one of you will escape!"

At this point, Zhao Kunpeng turned to look at Lu Yuan and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"These two are both experts at the Earth Spirit level! I advise you to be sensible and kneel down to beg for mercy right now. You might as well give me that spirit beast to play with, and maybe I'll consider letting you two go!"

Upon hearing this...

Lu Yuan's calm and relaxed expression suddenly turned sharp, and his face abruptly darkened.

Zhao Kunpeng didn't take it seriously. Instead, he thought that Lu Yuan had finally realized his fear after hearing what he said, and even grinned smugly.

"Hurry up and give it to me..."

However.

Before Zhao Kunpeng could finish speaking, several muffled sounds rang out. The two burly men who had just looked fierce were now clutching their stomachs and lying on the ground, curled up like shrimp.

"What?!"

Zhao Kunpeng was stunned for a moment.

These two were the best fighters his brother picked out from the team. Not only had their beast-taming level broken through to the Earth Spirit level, but even without summoning beasts, they could beat ordinary people to a pulp.

But how did he end up on the ground so quickly?!

Lu Yuan flicked off non-existent dust from his body, turned to look at the dumbfounded Zhao Kunpeng, and suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth.

"Who did you just say you wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy?"
