"The Dragon-Capturing Hall..."
Wu Tian repeated in a low voice. Although he had been away from the martial arts world for a long time, he knew that this name was already well-known in the martial arts world.
The forces behind it are unfathomable, and it has intricate connections with many other powers.
When they eliminated Qin Yuehe, they killed a guy who called himself the Dragon Capturing Hall's messenger. Presumably, the Dragon Capturing Hall came to avenge that guy.
As for the three major families in Linhai City, each of them is a pillar of strength in the city. If they could unite, they would indeed be enough to give any powerful person a headache.
However, Wu Tian didn't care at all. What did it matter if he had to make enemies of the whole world for revenge?
Wu Tian sneered, his tone both disdainful and confident: "Hmph! The Dragon Capturing Hall, the three great families, I'd like to see what you're capable of that dares to be my enemy."
Upon hearing this, the air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became heavy.
Wu Tian's face remained cold and stern, but a cold glint flashed in his deep eyes, as if he were declaring war on the Dragon Capture Hall and the three major families.
Upon hearing Wu Tian's heroic and tragic words, Yamaguchi Naoto couldn't help but say, "Sir, you certainly have extraordinary abilities, but as the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. The Dragon Capture Hall's actions this time are extremely secretive. They have not only united with the three major families in Linhai City, but also secretly colluded with some overseas forces, intending to deliver a fatal blow to you at a critical moment."
He glanced at Wu Tian furtively and said cautiously, "I dare to ask, if you would spare my life, I would gladly serve as your henchman and help you deal with them..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's gaze sharpened, piercing straight into Yamaguchi Naoto's heart.
He spoke slowly, a hint of amusement in his voice: "You're quite clever, knowing how to save your own life. But do you think I'd easily believe a traitor?"
Naoto Yamaguchi's face turned pale, but he still forced himself to say, "I am willing to swear on my life that everything I have said is true. If there is even a single lie, I am willing to accept any punishment. Today, the Dragon Capture Hall has summoned me and the three major families to discuss how to deal with you."
It was at this meeting that he first heard the name Wu Tian.
At the time, he had heard that the man was extremely skilled and ruthless, but he didn't take him seriously.
Now it seems that I underestimated Wu Tian's strength. No wonder he could kill even a fifth-grade expert.
Wu Tian sneered. He knew that Yamaguchi Naoto was at his wit's end and what he said might not be entirely false.
But in this world full of deceit and treachery, he never trusted anyone, let alone the despicable Chinese.
However, this news did pique his interest, after all, the alliance between the Dragon Capture Hall and the three major families was no small matter.
After pondering for a long time, Wu Tian finally relented to Yamaguchi Naoto: "I can spare your life, but you must remember to get out of China with all the Chinese within three days, or I will kill them all."
Upon hearing this, the warriors of the country trembled slightly, as painful memories of their past battles with Wu Tian flooded their minds, and none dared to cross the line.
Their thoughts converged at this moment; only by fleeing China and returning to their homeland could they find a moment of peace.
Upon hearing the news, Naoto Yamaguchi felt as if he had been given a new lease on life. His gratitude was overflowing, and he repeatedly kowtowed to express his thanks.
Although I know in my heart that the path to survival is only temporarily open, the road ahead is full of thorns and challenges.
Having betrayed the Dragon Capture Hall, he has nowhere to go in China; at the same time, having disgraced the martial arts of the nation, his journey home is fraught with danger, and he may face severe punishment.
He sighed deeply and said solemnly, "Mr. Wu, I, Naoto Yamaguchi, swear here that I will never set foot in China again for the rest of my life. If I break this vow, may I be struck down by heaven and earth!"
"Very well! I hope you will keep your word, otherwise, when we meet again, it will be the day you die!" Wu Tian's words were as cold as frost. After speaking, his figure turned into a shadow and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
With Wu Tian gone, the boulder that had been pressing on Yamaguchi Naoto's chest finally lifted, allowing him to straighten his back. His clothes were soaked with sweat, revealing the turmoil in his heart.
"President, what should we do next?" A Chinese martial artist asked, his voice filled with urgency and confusion.
Naoto Yamaguchi stared intently in the direction Wu Tian had left, his worry barely concealed: "You've all witnessed how powerful this man is. None of us are his match. If we stay in China, we'll surely die. But if we go back like this, the Chinese Martial Arts Association will definitely not let us go."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned solemn, as if dark clouds were pressing down on them. The predicament of being unable to advance or retreat made them feel powerless and struggling.
As Naoto Yamaguchi said, staying in China means hanging by a thread; returning to the United States means facing an uncertain future. Every path is fraught with unknowns and crises.
“But even so.” Naoto Yamaguchi slowly turned around, his eyes flashing with determination and resolve. “We must leave. China is not what it used to be, and it will not allow us to stand here. As for the Chinese Martial Arts Association, they will definitely send someone else to manage the venue, but one day they will understand that as long as Wu Tian is alive, China is invincible.”
Wu Tian never expected that his name would quietly become an indelible shadow, deeply imprinted in the hearts of Yamaguchi Naoto and many other Japanese martial artists, becoming a boundary they could never cross in their lives.
In the afternoon, he went straight into the Xia Group.
Under the shadow of pressure from the Dragon Capture Hall and the three major families, Wu Tian felt an even greater, indescribable worry about Xia Xue's safety.
Stepping into the office, one sees Xia Xue engrossed in her work, her focus and competence inspiring admiration.
Upon seeing him return, Xia Xue immediately put down her work, her smile blooming like a flower, and asked, "Brother Tian, you're back! Did everything go smoothly?"
Looking at Xia Xue's smile, which was even brighter than the spring sunshine, Wu Tian felt as if a warm current was gently blowing through his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up: "It's alright. Zhang Tingbin ran away, but I've already asked my senior sister to help investigate."
Xia Xue nodded gently and comforted her, "With Sister Jin's abilities, investigating someone is a piece of cake. Oh, and I have some good news to tell you."
Her smile grew even brighter at this moment, as if she were showing off to Wu Tian, "The three major families jointly held the Linhai City Future Development Plan Conference, and they invited me to represent the Xia Group at the conference."
"So quick?" Wu Tian frowned slightly. The news that the three major families, summoned by the Dragon Capture Hall, intended to harm him was still ringing in his ears, yet now they were extending an olive branch to Xia Xue. This move was intriguing.
Noticing the seriousness in Wu Tian's expression, Xia Xue asked with concern, "Is something wrong? If not, I won't go."
Wu Tian shook his head slightly, his gaze firm: "No problem. This is an opportunity for the Xia family to make its debut, so we should participate. I'll accompany you then."
Xia Xue smiled even more brightly upon hearing this, her smile as radiant as spring blossoms: "That's wonderful! I was worried you wouldn't feel comfortable letting me participate. Oh, right! I still have some documents to process, please wait a moment."
Wu Tian smiled and nodded, then took out his phone from his pocket, intending to use it to pass the time.
The screen lit up, and an unread message jumped out at me, short but firm: "Junior brother, be careful, a hefty reward has been offered for your life online."
