When Ermin arrived, I was deep in thought and feeling very troubled. Everyone knew that if Dad kept causing trouble like this, something terrible was bound to happen sooner or later.
But after he actually got into trouble, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing. After all, these were just things I did casually, and sometimes they didn't even seem like a big deal to me.
But for my dad, this was a matter of life and death. Ermin came over and patted me on the shoulder.
He comforted her, saying, "Alright, Fourth Young Master, don't worry. I'll keep a close eye on Third Master's affairs. Fortunately, he's just an ordinary person."
Nothing serious will happen. At most, you'll just get scammed out of some money, nothing major, so don't take it to heart.
I wiped my face and expressed my concerns: "It's not that I'm afraid of spending money or anything; at my level, money isn't an issue anymore."
I'm afraid my enemies will use him against me, and I might be betrayed without even knowing it. If someone sets me up and I end up being associated with some kind of cult follower, I'm finished."
Ermin was helpless after hearing my concerns, since I was telling the truth. Even now, there are still people who dare to oppose me.
They were all people of extraordinary status and position, and I had achieved success at a young age, so many people disliked me and wanted to cause me trouble.
They don't think it's because they lack ability; they just think you're lucky. They all think that if they had such good luck, they would definitely do better than me.
There are many, many people like this, but fortunately I have enough subordinates, so I usually don't have to take action myself when such things happen.
Ermin stayed with me in the private room while we waited for news, also wanting to see who had the audacity to do such a thing.
They dared to try and sabotage me at this critical juncture. Two hours quickly passed, and there was still no news from Crow and Old Mo.
I'm a little worried. The fact that they dared to attack even though they knew I had the military power meant they had retaliatory measures. Sending Crow and Old Mo to track them was a bit irresponsible of me.
Fortunately, there are still three elders from Jinxiu Heaven as a backup plan, but will they be able to arrive on time? After losing all their cultivation...
Even my thoughts have become more sensitive. Normally, I would just scan with my divine sense and know everything, instead of wasting time pondering these things.
Ermin noticed I was getting anxious and said, "Why don't we go down to the martial arts arena and take a look? It'll kill some time. Otherwise, just waiting here isn't going to work."
I thought about it and agreed. It would be good to distract myself. I sighed, nodded, and stood up.
We followed Ermin down to the lower level. The atmosphere was a bit quiet along the way. We didn't say a word and just walked silently.
Just then, a group of guests walked towards them. They were clearly people of high status and came from very wealthy families.
Besides the young nobleman leading the group, there were at least six grandmaster martial artists protecting him, blocking my way.
I wasn't angry. I immediately smiled and looked at him. He sized me up and down before saying, "I thought you were someone important, but you're nothing special."
With a smile, I asked, "What is your name, sir? What can I do for you?"
The young nobleman opposite him held his head high with an arrogant expression, and immediately a lackey stepped forward and said, "We are the Zhang family of Xuzhou, and this is our young master Zhang Zeyu."
After he finished speaking, he bowed and scraped as he retreated.
Young Master Zhang looked at me with his nose in the air, and I stared back at him, completely bewildered. After a long pause, I finally managed to ask, "And then?"
