"Tiger, Brother Tiger, you said that none of us could help you when you challenged someone to a one-on-one fight," one of the underlings said cautiously.
"Go to hell, get him! Leave this kid here!" Meng Hu slapped one of his underlings across the face.
His henchmen then sprang to life like they'd been injected with adrenaline, grabbing their weapons and charging towards Ye Xingchen with roars.
With a flick of his arms, the roaring true energy spread out in all directions like a dragon's cry, accompanied by screams, and dozens of figures were sent flying backward.
Thump, thump... A group of people fell to the ground, groaning helplessly.
With a single move, Ye Xingchen defeated his enemy. Before Meng Hu could react, Ye Xingchen took a step forward and appeared in front of him in a flash.
With a wave of his right hand, several screwdrivers floated in mid-air. With the support of his true energy, these screwdrivers trembled slightly and emitted a faint buzzing sound.
"If you dare to move again, believe me, I'll take your life right now," Ye Xingchen said leisurely.
Meng Hu certainly didn't dare to move. His grandfather was no ordinary man, so he had witnessed how powerful experts in the Heavenly Realm could be.
The chill emanating from Ye Xingchen was many times stronger than that of any Heavenly Realm expert he had encountered before.
He believed that if Ye Xingchen moved his hand, those screwdrivers could immediately pierce several holes in him.
Zhang Bo stood there dumbfounded, not daring to say a word.
He had long known that Ye Xingchen was not someone to be trifled with, which was why he brought in his elder brother to resolve the matter. However, he did not expect that his elder brother would be defeated by Ye Xingchen in a single exchange.
"Brother, let's talk this out." Meng Hu said with a mournful face, "I was blind to your greatness, I admit defeat."
"You're quite pragmatic, aren't you?" Ye Xingchen withdrew his right hand, and the several deadly screwdrivers that had been floating in mid-air finally fell to the ground.
Meng Hu felt the pressure around him decrease dramatically, and he truly breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, his gaze towards Ye Xingchen filled with dread.
“Yes, yes, I don’t have any great abilities, but my only strength is that I know how to be pragmatic.” Meng Hu nodded quickly: “My grandfather often said that if I were in charge of the family, I would definitely lack the ability to expand, but I would be more than capable of maintaining stability.”
"Your grandfather has a good eye for people." Ye Xingchen nodded slowly. "So, tell me, how do you want to handle today's matter?"
"Yes, I'll do whatever you say," Meng Hu said, bowing and scraping.
"Although the Meng family isn't as powerful as the Zhou family in Yun City, your grandfather is the only one who can command the underworld forces of the surrounding three provinces." Ye Xingchen glanced at him: "Are you just going to admit defeat like that?"
"Well... what can you do if I don't admit it? You're a master of the Heavenly Realm, killing me would be as easy as snapping your fingers." Meng Hu smiled broadly. "Besides, some worldly rules can't bind you."
"It seems you've suffered a loss at the hands of experts in the Heavenly Realm." Ye Xingchen smiled.
"I did suffer a loss, a huge loss. In the end, it was my old man who risked his reputation to mediate and save my life." Meng Hu made no attempt to hide his embarrassment.
"Very good." Ye Xingchen nodded: "You know what's good for you, but I might as well tell you, I am not from the Heavenly Realm."
"You're not from the Heavenly Realm?" Meng Hu was momentarily stunned.
In his understanding, the Heavenly Realm was already the ceiling of this world. Ye Xingchen could manipulate all things as weapons to take his life at will. What else could this be but the Heavenly Realm?
"No, it's a bit stronger than the Heavenly Realm." Ye Xingchen nodded.
Meng Hu's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground. He looked at Ye Xingchen tremblingly, unable to speak for a moment.
“I’m protecting the Yi sisters. This kid has been causing trouble for her time and time again. What do you suggest we do?” Ye Xingchen glanced at Zhang Bo.
Zhang Bo shuddered, his face turning deathly pale. He stammered, "Brother Tiger, I was wrong. I promise I won't harass the Yi sisters again, I..."
"You're wrong, my ass." Meng Hu slapped him across the face. "I told you long ago, eating off someone's child is utterly immoral. If it weren't for the years we've been together, why would I have helped you?"
Meng Hu grew angrier as he spoke, and kicked him several more times: "If it weren't for you, would I have offended such a powerful person? Kneel down!"
Zhang Bo suddenly knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Mr. Ye, what do you think we should do about this? This kid was just trying to help his brother-in-law. I usually keep a pretty strict eye on them." Meng Hu scratched his head, his expression somewhat simple and honest.
“Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Ye Xingchen said. “Go and break Yi Qiang’s leg, take him to their house to beg for forgiveness, and promise that you will never harass the sisters again. Then we’ll call it quits.”
“Okay, no problem. I’ll go find my brother-in-law right now and break his leg so he can apologize to the Yi sisters.” Zhang Bo raised his head without even thinking.
He just wants to distance himself from this matter now, after all, he can't afford to offend Ye Xingchen.
"Go ahead." Ye Xingchen waved his hand. "I'll call Yi Qingmeng and explain the situation. Find some time to bring your brother-in-law with the broken leg to apologize."
"But there's one thing: Yi Qiang's leg must be crippled so he can use crutches to go out in the future, otherwise this matter isn't over."
"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand everything." Zhang Bo nodded hurriedly, Ye Xingchen's words completely dispelling his idea of going easy on her.
"Go ahead." Ye Xingchen waved his hand and casually sent a message to Yi Qingmeng, telling her about the situation.
Yi Qingmeng replied immediately. The matter that had been bothering her for so long had finally come to an end, and a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.
"Brother Ye..." Meng Hu came over with a fawning smile: "What happened today was my fault. I'll find a place to treat you to drinks another day as an apology."
Actually, this guy is over thirty, several years older than Ye Xingchen. The fact that he could swallow his pride and call Ye Xingchen "brother" shows he's a truly flexible and adaptable person.
"You call me brother?" Ye Xingchen said, somewhat amused and exasperated, "Isn't that inappropriate? You're older than me."
“Heroes are not defined by their origins or age. I am older than you, but you are so young yet possess such strength. I am willing to call you brother, and I will be your younger brother from now on.” Meng Hu said in a serious tone, “In the future, if there is anything you need in Yun City, just let me know.”
"Alright then." Ye Xingchen saw that this guy was also a bit of a hothead, but straightforward in personality, so he nodded in agreement.
Just as this guy was spouting a bunch of compliments without restraint, a phone call drastically changed his expression.
"What? The old man is critically ill?" Meng Hu was immediately anxious: "What happened? I went to see the old man yesterday and he was fine. How come he is suddenly critically ill today? Which hospital is he in? I'm going there right now."
