Wang Wei's reaction shocked Old Master Qiao, and his expression turned even more grim...
"stop…"
Having gained six months' worth of life, Old Master Qiao's voice was much stronger, and his loud shout made everyone present tremble with fear...
Only Wang Wei and Lu Zhengguo were exceptions, because neither of them were afraid of him. Lu Zhengguo had a powerful background just like him, and even in the Qiao family, he was confident that the head of the Qiao family wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him. Wang Wei, on the other hand, was very confident in his own strength...
Wang Wei turned to look at the Qiao family head and calmly asked...
"Does Patriarch Qiao have any further instructions?"
"Wang Wei, aren't you afraid I'll kill Hu Li?"
The head of the Qiao family stared fiercely at Wang Wei. Meeting his gaze, Wang Wei knew he wasn't just bluffing...
"If Patriarch Qiao continues to talk like this, then I'll have to consider taking back the six months I've already spent..."
Upon hearing Wang Wei's words, the head of the Qiao family trembled, his eyes darting around uncertainly. He didn't know if Wang Wei was bluffing him or if he truly had the ability to take it back, but he dared not gamble...
In his mind, those six months of life already belonged to him, and how could he tolerate someone else taking back what was his?
"Kid, are you trying to scare me? This is the Qiao family home..."
The head of the Qiao family spoke in a desperate tone, saying that this was merely a test of Wang Wei to see if he truly had the ability to reclaim his lifespan...
"Do you think I don't know about the bodyguards you've planted around? You'd better think this through. Once we start fighting, it'll be a fight to the death. Only I can save your life in this world. Offending me will only bring you harm and no benefit..."
Wang Wei's calmness put the Qiao family head in a disadvantageous position for the first time in negotiations; previously, others had to beg him, but now the situation was completely reversed...
"Boy, how dare you speak to Patriarch Qiao like that? You're just a poor nobody, yet you think you can threaten him? Your actions are tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock. Kneel down and apologize, offering up three years of your life..."
In order to survive, Sakata Ichiro had no choice but to side with the Qiao family head and unleash a barrage of attacks on Wang Wei...
If he hadn't said anything, Wang Wei wouldn't have bothered with this frivolous monk, but this bastard actually insisted on clashing with Wang Wei...
"Someone insulted me, and it upset me. I need to find somewhere to clear my head..."
He made a move to walk outside as soon as he finished speaking...
"You think you can leave peacefully? What do you take the Qiao family for?"
Sakata Ichiro, relying on his master's power, scolded...
"Shut up…"
The head of the Qiao family couldn't help but roar at him. He didn't say anything. This bastard kept offending Wang Wei. Wasn't he trying to cut off his way out?
"Patriarch Qiao, I'm speaking up for you, how could you..."
"Do I need you to speak for me? What right do you, a lecherous monk, have to speak for me? If you dare to speak nonsense again, I'll send you to see your Yamata no Oota immediately..."
Before Sakata Ichiro could finish speaking, the Qiao family head angrily rebuked him…
This represents an attitude; otherwise, if Wang Wei were to leave, he would truly be left to wait for death...
Sakata Ichiro's face flushed red from the scolding, but he dared not retort. His life was now entirely in the hands of the Qiao family head; how could he dare offend him? He only hoped that after the longevity herb was tested, the Qiao family head would spare his life…
"Kid, you win. A year should be enough, right..."
The Qiao family head made a concession, but Wang Wei turned and looked at him with a cold smile, speaking in an extremely calm tone.
"I've said it before, I don't like the way you talk. You have no right to negotiate with me now. Do you think that just because this is the Qiao family, you can do whatever you want?"
I kindly gave you six months to live, but you don't know how to be grateful. This makes me very unhappy, so your life or death has nothing to do with me. Don't even think about asking me to help you again..."
Upon hearing Wang Wei's words, the Qiao family head's face turned ashen. This was tantamount to blocking his path to survival...
"Then you should stay too. I believe you'll agree..."
With a wave of his hand, the head of the Qiao family summoned dozens of bodyguards, each a burly man with fierce eyes, like ravenous wolves, who had been starving for a long time, staring intently at Wang Wei…
If an ordinary person saw this, their legs would probably turn to jelly...
But they encountered Wang Wei, and in Wang Wei's eyes, these people were like ants...
"Patriarch Qiao, it seems you're not good at making choices..."
Wang Wei calmly looked at the head of the Qiao family and said…
The head of the Qiao family couldn't tell whether Wang Wei's composure was genuine or just an act...
“Wang Wei, you also have a poor choice. I can give you another chance. If you are willing to extend my life, you can name your price for compensation. I'm even willing to marry my granddaughter to you…”
The Qiao family head's words shocked everyone. Qiao Yurong was his most beloved granddaughter, yet he chose to sacrifice her happiness just to live a year or two longer...
"They're all cut from the same cloth. If it weren't for a grandfather like you, they probably wouldn't have been able to raise such a spoiled and willful granddaughter..."
To others, marrying your granddaughter would be a golden opportunity to rise in status, but to me, she's not only a nuisance, but also a repulsive cyborg. I have absolutely no interest in her…
I was planning to save face for you and secretly rescue Hu Li later, but you're being ungrateful, so don't blame me for slapping you in the face..."
When had the head of the Qiao family ever been so humiliated? Besides, Wang Wei was just a young man; he didn't think he could make a ripple under the siege of dozens of thugs…
He even believed that all it took was one thug to make Wang Wei kneel down and sing "Conquer"...
At the patriarch's signal, all the thugs immediately rushed towards Wang Wei. To avoid accidentally injuring Lu Zhengguo, Wang Wei chose to strike first...
His figure blurred into a streak of light, and by the time everyone reacted, several thugs were already floating in mid-air…
Wang Wei's speed was so fast that he was just a blur. Every move he made sent a thug flying backward. Before the previous one could even land, the next one was already flying away...
The head of the Qiao family stared in shock at what was happening before him, unable to believe that anyone could be so powerful…
When Wang Wei was seen again, the bodyguards were no longer standing...
And somehow, Wang Wei had already rescued Hu Li...
Hu Li was also somewhat bewildered at this moment, not knowing what had happened. He had only been locked up and had not been abused, so his mental state seemed fine. This was also why Wang Wei remained calm. If Hu Li had been abused, he wouldn't mind making the Qiao family pay a price...
"Patriarch Qiao, I've already said you made the wrong choice..."
Wang Wei calmly looked at the Qiao family head and said, "At this moment, the Qiao family head is so shocked that he can't speak. He has been shocked more times today than he has in the past year." He was thinking about how to handle the current situation...
