“There’s nothing I dare not do. If there is, it’s only because I don’t want to do it!” Qin Fan snorted coldly.

His right foot rose high, smashing down on Guo Wenhai, who was still crawling on the ground! It landed right on the back of his knee!

CRACK!

“Ah!!!”

A hysterical howl immediately burst from Guo Wenhai’s mouth!

“Damn it!” Seeing Qin Fan actually move against Guo Wenhai—and aiming to cripple him at that—the feeling of being slapped across the face surged through Liao Shijie. “Seize him for me!”

In his furious shout, filled to the brim with rage, Liao Shijie was just one step away from grabbing a gun himself and unloading a full clip into Qin Fan.

“I’d like to see who dares move!”

Immediately after Liao Shijie spoke, the seventeen soldiers roared out as one!

Tie Niu’s expression was the most savage and ferocious of them all.

“You pieces of trash, just wait to be court-martialed! I, a third-generation member of the Liao Family, guarantee it! From this moment on, the only place for you is prison! If you don’t move aside, seize them all!” Liao Shijie yelled, waving his hand furiously.

“Impressive. Why don’t you just say you’ll execute us on the spot if we don’t move? Third generation of the Liao Family? Three days ago, when Liao Yuanhang was crippled by the Instructor, your precious Liao Family didn’t dare to make a peep. Even Liao Yuan had to scurry away in disgrace when the Instructor told him to scram. What the hell do you, a mere third-generation member, amount to?” one of the soldiers retorted with a scornful sneer.

He didn’t take Liao Shijie seriously at all. To be precise, he didn’t take the Liao Family seriously. The family’s unpopularity had long spread to every corner. It was only to avoid unnecessary trouble that these seasoned soldiers, no matter how much they disliked the family, never showed it.

But now? This ignorant buffoon wanted the special forces to apprehend their Instructor? How was that any different from tearing away all pretense of civility? Since there was no difference, there was no longer any reason to hold back!

Stung by the soldier’s sharp rebuke, Liao Shijie sputtered, “I—!” Before he could even get the curse words out, a panicked, urgent shout suddenly cut through the air from behind him. “You, shut your mouth!”

WHOOSH!

At the sudden outburst, everyone’s head snapped in its direction, except for Qin Fan’s. Even the special forces team, armed to the teeth, looked over.

They saw Han Rongguang and Liao Yuan, both dressed in formal military uniforms, striding over quickly. The one who had shouted was an extremely frantic Liao Yuan.

After three days of inquiries, he had finally learned what the name ‘Qin Fan’ truly represented. He had learned about the annihilation of the Qin Family and that even the powerful Ye Family was desperately trying to curry favor with this man. He knew of the shocking debut at the Martial Arts Conference, followed by the battle that made the young Grandmaster famous amidst the sea of clouds on Emei Mountain’s Golden Summit. All of these achievements belonged to a young man not yet twenty years old! It was clear just how monstrously talented he was!

Liao Yuan had been planning to gather all his family members in the next two days to strictly warn them against provoking this heaven-defying monster. But who could have known that before he could even issue the warning, trouble had already found them!

“Grandfather? You… why are you here?” Liao Shijie stared in disbelief.

SMACK!

The only response he received was a merciless slap from Liao Yuan!

“Wretched boy! Get on your knees!” Liao Yuan’s voice trembled, his heart leaping into his throat.

THUMP!

Without hesitation, despite his look of innocent confusion, Liao Shijie immediately dropped to his knees before Liao Yuan.

“Not to me! Kneel to Master Qin!” With another swing of his hand, Liao Yuan slapped his grandson again, seemingly holding nothing back as the full force of the blow landed on Liao Shijie’s face.

Kneel to Master Qin? Is he talking about this punk who’s years younger than me? No! This can’t be happening!

“Grandfather, why!?” Liao Shijie roared, his teeth clenched tight.

“I told you to kneel, so kneel!”

Another slap. Liao Shijie’s somewhat handsome face was now swollen from Liao Yuan’s blows.

Liao Yuan was terrified, truly terrified! He hadn’t dared to utter a peep when Liao Yuanhang was crippled. If Liao Shijie truly angered Qin Fan, his death would be for nothing!

As one of the more outstanding members of the Liao Family’s third generation, Liao Shijie wasn’t so foolish that he couldn’t read the situation. For his grandfather, who had always valued his reputation, to treat him this way in public, there had to be a serious reason. Suddenly, he remembered the soldier’s words, and cold sweat dripped down his back!

Could it… could it be true?

The next moment, gritting his teeth, he swiveled on his knees to face Qin Fan.

“Kowtow! Apologize!” Liao Yuan roared the instant he turned.

BANG!

Forcing down the burning humiliation, Liao Shijie paused for a moment before striking his head heavily against the floor. Mimicking his grandfather’s form of address for Qin Fan, he squeezed the words through clenched teeth, “Master Qin, I’m sorry. I was wrong!”

Qin Fan’s soldiers weren’t surprised. Han Rongguang wasn’t surprised either. But the remaining staff of the hotel and the entire team of armed special forces agents were completely dumbfounded! What in the world was going on?

“E-Elder Liao!” The leader of the special forces team, whose renown outside the military region was clearly no match for Liao Yuan’s, stammered out, breaking into a cold sweat at the scene.

“There’s nothing for you to do here. Take your team and go back,” Liao Yuan said with a wave of his hand.

“Yes, sir!” The special forces captain felt as if he had received a pardon. The thought of how he had just been about to apprehend Qin Fan made him shudder. That was a single misstep he would have regretted for a lifetime!

They had arrived in a grand display of armed force, only to scurry away with their tails between their legs. In less than ten seconds, the special forces team had vanished without a trace.

“Master Qin, what is going on? Would you mind telling me?” Han Rongguang asked, still looking utterly baffled.

“Two pieces of trash committed some heinous acts that would anger both gods and men against a soldier’s family! One of them was propped up by none other than the Liao Family’s own ‘Crown Prince’—the ‘local deity’ of Ningchuan. Tsk, tsk… ‘local deity,’ what a grand title, eh? Heh heh… Old Han, Elder Liao, my role as Instructor is temporary, but your positions are long-term. So? Do you think justice needs to be served for our soldiers?”

He had deliberately downplayed the severity of the events, but Qin Fan knew these two men would understand the gravity of the situation.

THUMP!

The moment Qin Fan finished speaking, Liao Yuan viciously kicked Liao Shijie.

“You beast! What have you done!?”

“I… I don’t know!” At this point, if Liao Shijie still couldn’t see the big picture, he never would have made it this far. Gritting his teeth against the searing pain in his ribs from his grandfather’s kick, he kept his head bowed and stammered, “I really don’t know what happened!”

“It was me! It was all my fault! I’m the one who committed those heinous acts to curry favor with a business partner! I deserve to die! I deserve to die! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault!” Seeing that the blame was about to fall on Liao Shijie, Guo Wenhai, who was on the verge of passing out from pain, began to wail, kowtowing repeatedly on the ground to Qin Fan and all the soldiers.

“Men!” By now, if Han Rongguang still didn’t understand what was going on, his years of experience would have been for nothing. He knew that the more casually such a matter was mentioned, the more severe the underlying problem was. If he didn’t take action, it would not only make Qin Fan think poorly of him, but more importantly, it would chill the soldiers’ hearts!

“No need to call anyone, Old Han. I brought you here to watch a show. Well, since you’re both here now, let’s bring this little play to its final curtain,” Qin Fan said coolly, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

With that, he walked toward Guo Wenhai. Without even a glance, he swung his leg in a sweeping kick aimed at the man’s chest—a kick powerful enough to end his life!

BOOM!

The same central pillar resounded as Guo Wenhai’s body slammed into it.

“Generals, attention! Move out!” Qin Fan commanded, his back to the seventeen soldiers.

“Yes, Instructor!”
