The scene was unusually quiet at this moment. Hu Li and his brothers stood beside Wang Wei. They would not hesitate to act if Wang Wei made a move; this was a fine tradition they had retained from their time in the army.
Wang Wei watched with amusement as the two members of the Qiao family fought amongst themselves…
Qiao Wu's underlings dared not utter a sound. After all, one was their boss, and the other was the eldest daughter of their boss's family. They seemed unable to afford to offend either of them...
"What? Are you planning to betray the Qiao family?"
Qiao Yurong's words sent a shiver down Qiao Wu's spine. This had escalated to a certain level. If the charge were proven true, he would never receive any resources from the Qiao family again, and might even be hunted down by them. All the power he held would crumble...
However, these are all extreme cases. His ability to become the king of the underworld was not entirely due to the Qiao family, but also to his ruthlessness and decisiveness...
With his current power and status, the Qiao family can't just give up on him like that...
Qiao Yurong has the ability to trip him up, but she can't really do anything to him...
"Young Miss, I am utterly loyal to the Qiao family, and this cannot be slandered..."
Qiao Wu replied with a livid face…
"Then teach him a lesson, or I'll tell Grandpa you betrayed the Qiao family..."
Qiao Yurong has gone mad; all she wants now is to teach Wang Wei a lesson and prevent him from losing the bet…
"Enough... This is utter nonsense. I will personally speak to Old Master Qiao about this matter. Whatever punishment Old Master Qiao imposes on me, I will accept it..."
Qiao Wu roared, his fierce expression causing Qiao Yurong to turn pale and instinctively take two steps back…
However, she quickly realized that she was the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, and the most beloved granddaughter of Old Master Qiao. How dare a thug speak to her like that, even scaring her back two steps, making her lose face completely...
Enraged, Qiao Yurong felt everyone present deserved to die. Ever since meeting Wang Wei, she had been constantly humiliated, and now even her own people were bullying her…
In an instant, anger consumed her reason, and she pointed at Qiao Wu and roared.
"You dare to yell at me? You actually yelled at me? What gives you the right to yell at me?"
"Qiao Yurong, I am, after all, an elder in your family. Even if I teach you a lesson, no one will say anything. But if you continue to act so unreasonably, believe me, I'll tie you up and take you back to the Qiao family. Then Old Master Qiao will naturally give me justice..."
Qiao Wu was going all out. Faced with Qiao Yurong's unreasonable behavior, he couldn't just let it go. If he didn't take a stand now, Qiao Yurong would only trample on his dignity even more recklessly...
"Elder? You're just a member of a collateral branch of the family, what right do you have to be my elder? If it weren't for my grandfather's kindness, would you be where you are today? Now, as a dog of the Qiao family, you actually collude with outsiders to bully me. How do you think my grandfather will treat you? If you continue to be so stubborn today, don't blame me for stripping you of your right to be a dog..."
Qiao Yurong's words were unreasonable and utterly humiliating, practically trampling Qiao Wu's dignity into the ground...
Qiao Wu's face was extremely pale. He hadn't expected Qiao Yurong to be so ruthless. At this moment, he had been driven to a dead end...
His underlings were no better off than him. These men were young, in the prime of their lives, and they too felt immense humiliation at their leader being so disgraced.
"Qiao Wu, seeing how troubled you are, I'll help you out, but you'll have to pay me..."
Before Qiao Wu could refuse, Wang Wei had already flashed to Qiao Yurong's side. Before Qiao Yurong could react, he came up with a big punch...
Snap...
Qiao Yurong's face was swollen on one side, and there was a clear handprint on it...
Without giving her any time to react or catch her breath, Wang Wei grabbed Qiao Yurong by the back of the neck like a chick…
Even though Qiao Yurong is tall, there's still a height difference of over ten centimeters between her and Wang Wei, since Wang Wei is five centimeters taller...
"Ah...you dare hit me? I'll kill you..."
Qiao Yurong roared like a madman, her limbs flailing wildly, trying to attack Wang Wei…
But Qiao Yurong seemed to have her life force choked, completely powerless, and could only let Wang Wei hold her, unable to launch any effective attacks. This scene filled Qiao Yurong with grief and indignation; this was just too humiliating…
"presumptuous…"
"stop…"
"Let go of the young lady..."
"Don't act impulsively..."
"Kid, you dare..."
Immediately, a loyal follower of the Qiao family roared angrily at Wang Wei…
Hearing the commotion, Wang Wei smiled disdainfully. These people had never witnessed his terror, which was why they dared to shout at him like that…
"Shut up...a bunch of useless trash...you can't even protect your own young lady, what right do you have to yell and shout here?"
Wang Wei's words brought a brief silence to the group of underlings, but they soon erupted into a clamor again...
"You're the one who's useless. If it weren't for those retired soldiers protecting you, you'd be lying on the ground by now..."
"What kind of hero takes hostages? Let's fight one-on-one if you dare..."
"If you're a man, step forward and fight me one-on-one. I can beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you..."
"I'll give you a one-handed advantage, you little rascal..."
Wang Wei clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, "Are all people these days so reckless?"
Qiao Wu couldn't stand it anymore. After all, they were all his underlings, and even if they were loyal to the Qiao family, there was still some affection between them. So he wanted to remind them, but when he saw Wang Wei's bloodshot eyes, he immediately fell silent. He knew that when this guy went crazy, no matter who it was, he almost got beaten up last time...
"You...you are very courageous..."
Wang Wei licked his lips and said excitedly. He then tossed Qiao Yurong to Hu Li and, looking at the loyal dogs of the Qiao family in front of him, tried to reply in a calm tone.
"Since you are so hospitable, I cannot disappoint you. I will give you a chance—a chance for all of you to take on me one-on-one..."
The thugs on the other side thought they'd misheard. A group of people taking him down one-on-one? Does that mean we have to gang up on him? Is there really such a good deal? Are you sure it wasn't a one-on-one fight?
Just when they thought they had gotten a great deal, they realized the next moment that they had been short-sighted...
With Wang Wei's fighting prowess, even doubling the number of men wouldn't be enough for him to crush them all by himself. It's like a wolf among sheep...
The attacks of these thugs seemed to Wang Wei like they were happening in slow motion. He could see every single movement they made and react several times faster than them…
Often, these people had barely made a move when they were already sent flying by Wang Wei's Iron Mountain Lean, making the whole scene extremely brutal...
