Chapter 472 The Emperor
For Bingbing, the idea that Ye Ling would stand up for her and offend Jiang Xiaobai was simply unimaginable.
After all, who was Jiang Xiaobai? He was one of the four young masters of the Imperial Capital. Without exaggeration, even the department-level officials in the capital would have to smile and nod in his presence.
Not to mention Bingbing's boss, a mere businessman. If he truly provoked Jiang Xiaobai, a single command would be enough to ensure he'd never see tomorrow's sun; he'd have to spend the rest of his life behind bars.
So no matter how antagonistic the relationship between Ye Ling and Jiang Xiaobai might be, for him to stand up for her was an immense blessing.
"Brother Ye, would you really oppose me for the sake of an actress? Isn't that a bit unworthy?"
Jiang Xiaobai cracked a slight smile, picked up a cup of wine, and drained it in one go, his eyes ominously dark. Jiang You also lifted his eyelids, glanced at Bingbing, and then looked away.
An actress, no matter how successful, couldn't catch their eye except for her looks; she truly had no other means to threaten them.
"Tsk tsk, Young Master Jiang, what are you trying to say? That an actress isn't human? Are you, Young Master Jiang, looking down on actors?"
"Or do you feel you're so high and mighty, so full of superiority, that you can disregard anyone else?"
Ye Ling sneered, his eyes brimming with disdain as he pointed at Jiang Xiaobai and rose to his feet. This action made Jiang Xiaobai's lackeys tense up.
They knew the legend of this man all too well. Once he really lost his temper, who could stop him?
"Besides, hasn't Young Master Jiang always been opposing me? What's with this pretense now? Is it really interesting? Even if it wasn't Bingbing, but someone else, I would guarantee their safety!"
Having said that, Ye Ling bent forward, bringing his face right up to Jiang Xiaobai's, startling everyone in the hall as their hearts skipped a beat.
"It's starting, it's starting for sure! Believe it or not, they're definitely going to fight now. This is a big taunt attack."
"I'm telling you, if they don't start fighting, I'm going to cut off that... My rage meter is full!"
"Let's fight, a solo duel in the mid lane, take it straight away, it's a rhythm that could end it all!"
"Go, go! Young Master Jiang, use one WER with a big Q, and take him down!"@@novelbin@@
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were ablaze with excitement. If these two groups really started fighting, they would definitely have a story to tell afterwards, earning the admiration of so many.
But Jiang Xiaobai rose to his feet, smiled lightly, and nodded, "You're right. It seems that you, Young Master Ye, and I have never seen eye to eye."
"I'm sorry, I think I must go now. Otherwise, if you, Young Master Ye, start a fight, I won't be able to handle it."
After saying this, Jiang Xiaobai smiled at Jiang You: "Brother Jiang, let's go. Sitting here, enduring other people's ridicule and white eyes, I reckon you've had enough."
Jiang You smiled faintly, his palm striking the marble tabletop in front of him, and then he stood up and left.
A procession left the Love Silk Club in grand scale, with Mo Siqing hurrying after them. After their departure, everyone heard the sound of cracking.
The incredibly hard marble table was riddled with terrifying cracks spreading out like a spider web.
Crack, crack, the sounds grew louder and faster until at the moment when the cracks suddenly burst open, the entire table collapsed with a thunderous crash.
Everyone drew a sharp breath and stared intently at the dust-sprinkled tabletop where with just one palm strike, Jiang You transformed all he wanted to say into that single blow.
"Does this count as me downloading thirty-two gigs of Island Nation love action movies, only to end up with something like 'King Kong Curcubita' or 'Crayon Shin-chan' playing instead?"
"Damn it, why do I feel like I've seen 'King Kong Curcubita,' but also feel like I'm so excited I could go for a GC myself?"
"You have some heavy taste, bro. Though it does seem exhilarating, it's definitely better than getting all undressed only to end up with some incomprehensible finale."
Ye Ling smiled faintly. He could tell that Jiang You had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Making such a breakthrough in such a short time was indeed extraordinary.
At that moment, Ye Ling received a spiritual message from Xiaobai. The smile on his face instantly turned frosty, yet it grew broader.
In the manor at Donghai City, Xiaobai was lying down, and under the bright moonlight, it yawned, unbeknownst to all, a fierce light suddenly flashed in its eyes.
In the quiet manor, all the normally dazzling lights were turned off, leaving only the lit room on the first floor, where Wang Shufen was still busying herself.
In her hand was a needle and thread. She sat under the bright light, sewing clothes for her grandchildren, her face adorned with a contented smile. Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire
Whoosh, a breeze blew, and Wang Shufen raised her head to see the clouds gradually covering the moonlight. She sighed deeply, shook her head, and stood up to go out.
Xiaobai told her to hide temporarily in a room, and knowing that Xiaobai was no ordinary animal, Wang Shufen did not question it and entered the room without hesitation.
This room was protected by a formation set up jointly by Ye Ling and Xiaobai. Even someone in the Divine Infant Realm would need to exhaust their resources to break in. It was extremely secure.
In Ye Ling's manor, a fiery figure quietly descended. A robust figure draped in a fiery cloak, with slightly curly golden hair, wore a cold smile on a stately face.
He was the King of the Demon Legion, the legendary mercenary—The Emperor.
The age of The Emperor was unknown, but his strength was at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. In the mercenary world, he was a fearsome legend. No target that he had taken on had ever survived.
This time, he had accepted a terrifying contract worth five billion Huaxia Currency, and the mission was simple: kill as many people as possible.
However, with such a high reward on the line, The Emperor still brought his best troops, the top ten Kings, each one a formidable fighter in the Innate Realm, all of whom had built the fierce reputation of the Demon Legion.
"My brothers, everyone in this manor will die by our hands, and they will be converted into immense wealth."
"Go forth, show no mercy. The Demon Legion doesn't care about age or gender; let your blades fall upon them!"
The Emperor smiled, waved his hand, and his top ten Kings charged out wildly. At that moment, a white figure rose like a lion, striking awe into everyone present.
"What is that thing? Can it be a polar bear?"
"Just an animal. Kill it. Countless beasts have already died under my rat knife, ha ha!"
"Same here, I hate rich folks' pets the most. Damn, living better than me, so fancy, just kill it!"
Murderous intent exuded from the eyes of the top ten Kings as they faced the white figure, which was, of course, Xiaobai. Its eyes brimming with ferocity, its body shook slightly, and its limbs touched down lightly.
Whoosh, the white figure shot out like a rainbow, charging into the crowd.
