The head of the Qiao family, as expected of a powerful figure, quickly regained his composure. Even though he was at a disadvantage at the moment, with the Qiao family's power in the capital, he could still manipulate an ordinary person at will...
This is the benefit of power. No matter how strong you are personally, you are just a brute. The power he possesses can render such a brute useless, and he might not even be able to survive by begging.
"Old Qiao, you don't need to think about those underhanded tricks. Wang Wei is my granddaughter's husband. If you dare to play dirty tricks, don't blame me for treating your Qiao family the same way..."
"And since you agreed to my conditions, I hope you can carry them out as soon as possible, after all, you just got six months of life for free..."
Lu Zhengguo stepped forward to support Wang Wei at this moment, hoping that the Qiao family head would have some reservations when he intervened…
"Grandpa...where's Hu Li...?"
Just then, Qiao Yurong suddenly appeared. When she saw Wang Wei, she exclaimed in shock.
"Why is it you?"
"Hey, isn't this Qiao Jiajia?"
Wang Wei said with a smirk...
His words completely broke Qiao Yurong's defenses. In her mind, she was screaming, "Fake my ass! I just had two silicone implants, and you had to change my name? This is so damn humiliating..."
"roll…"
Qiao Yurong roared angrily, the single word seemingly bursting from her dantian, almost rupturing everyone's eardrums...
"Grandpa, why did you release Hu Li?"
Upon seeing Hu Li beside Wang Wei, Qiao Yurong immediately pouted and questioned her grandfather, completely forgetting about the humiliation Wang Wei had caused her…
Seeing this, Wang Wei clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, "Could this girl have taken a liking to Hu Li?"
Hu Li, however, remained completely unmoved, keeping his eyes down and his mind at ease.
The head of the Qiao family clutched his chest, feeling a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath. This was entirely due to anger. He wanted to ask his granddaughter, "Are you blind? Which eye saw me let Hu Li go?"
Look at all the bodyguards on the ground, can't you tell that he was rescued?
Moreover, in this situation, it's one thing for you not to care about your grandfather, but you care about a man you've only known for two days. That's just too heartbreaking, isn't it?
"Go back now, don't embarrass yourself here..."
The head of the Qiao family reprimanded him somewhat angrily…
This made Qiao Yurong tremble. Her grandfather had long held sway in the Qiao family, and no one dared to disobey him. She could only act coquettishly when her grandfather was in a good mood, and it had already become rumored that she was her grandfather's most beloved junior...
"grandfather…"
"go back…"
No matter how much Qiao Yurong pleaded and begged, the Qiao family head firmly refused...
Qiao Yurong had no choice but to take one last, reluctant look at Hu Li before turning and walking inside, disappearing from sight shortly afterward…
Seeing Qiao Yurong return, the Qiao family head couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this point, the situation had spiraled out of his control, and if Qiao Yurong continued to stay, there might be unpredictable dangers...
"Wang Wei, you should understand the power of the Qiao family. Are you sure you want to leave like this?"
Upon hearing Patriarch Qiao's words, Wang Wei's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He looked at Patriarch Qiao with a dangerous gaze, and the next moment he rushed towards Patriarch Qiao...
Just as Wang Wei's hand was about to land on the Qiao family head, a hand appeared in front of Wang Wei and blocked it...
This sudden change caused Wang Wei's expression to change drastically, and then he looked at Hongren, who had made the move...
Just now, Hongren appeared silently beside him and blocked his hand...
These two points alone are enough to prove that Hongren's strength should not be underestimated...
"Benefactor, it is better to show mercy when you can. Why be so ruthless?"
Hongren clasped his hands together and said calmly…
“Master Hongren, your strength truly surprises me. I don’t intend to kill Patriarch Qiao. Given his status, killing him would only implicate me and my family, bringing no benefit whatsoever. I simply want to warn him not to even consider harming those around me; this is my bottom line…”
Wang Wei also had to explain that someone with such strength who was still willing to become a monk must have a profound understanding of Buddhism, and such a high-ranking monk deserves respect...
"I misunderstood you, benefactor. I believe that Patriarch Qiao has already witnessed your strength and would certainly not do anything to cross your bottom line. Am I right, Patriarch Qiao?"
Hearing Hongren's words, Patriarch Qiao finally snapped out of his shock. Hongren's sudden intervention had taken him by surprise; he hadn't expected that among so many clergy members, there truly was a highly accomplished master...
"The high monk is right; the misfortune should not extend to family members..."
The head of the Qiao family quickly replied, expressing his promise not to harm anyone close to Wang Wei…
Wang Wei nodded, then turned to leave…
"The donor stays..."
Hongren clasped his hands together and called out to Wang Wei.
What guidance does Master Hongren have?
Wang Wei asked very politely…
"You have a connection with Buddhism. On the fifteenth of this month, our temple will be holding a Buddhist banquet, inviting eminent monks and lay Buddhists to attend. I think you need this information, right?"
Upon hearing Hongren's words, Wang Wei's pupils dilated in shock. He couldn't understand how Hongren had discerned his need for a Buddhist banquet...
He stared into Hongren's eyes, but the other man simply looked at Wang Wei calmly, without flinching...
After a long silence, Wang Wei finally replied.
"Thank you for informing me, Master Hongren. Let's leave it at that..."
Hongren's actions in hindering Wang Wei's plans could potentially endanger him. To quell Wang Wei's resentment, he chose this method...
Wang Wei was also deeply shocked. Since obtaining the power of the Overlord, he had never met anyone who could match him. How could he remain calm when Hongren, a monk, could do it?
"Ichiro Sakata..."
When Wang Wei uttered that name, his blood nearly boiled. A bugle call seemed to sound in his mind, and he felt an urge to kill him on the spot…
Upon hearing Wang Wei call his name, Sakata Ichiro knew he was doomed; his body trembled uncontrollably…
Coupled with Wang Wei's domineering gaze, Sakata Ichiro felt unimaginable pressure...
Wang Wei's lips curled up slightly. When Sakata Ichiro stated those two conditions, Wang Wei suspected there was something wrong with the guy, so he used his Eye of Truth to examine him and found that he indeed had a problem...
Although he appears to be a monk, he is actually a high-ranking spy for Japan…
Unlike Dong Yuyu, he was a pure Japanese traitor, and Dong Yuyu's betrayal was even more hateful...
However, this did not hinder Wang Wei's bloodline awakening. He then calmly said...
"Let's honor the bet..."
Sakata Ichiro's expression kept changing, but no matter how it changed, he looked terrible...
"Patriarch Qiao..."
Sakata Ichiro looked at the Qiao family head. This was a divine banquet, and he, as a guest, had been humiliated. The Qiao family head, as the host of this banquet, was equally ashamed…
"You yourself said you would keep your word..."
The head of the Qiao family replied calmly…
