So, although Jiang Hao's dozens of little brothers were surprised, not one of them spoke up.
Bang bang bang!
Jiang Hao didn't say a single word, instead swinging his steel pipe down one blow after another.
The Golden Leopard had already been scared pale. He also didn't know what he had done wrong. Brother Hao, who was usually so righteous, why would he suddenly attack his own brother?
Just then, Jiang Hao suddenly squatted down in front of the Golden Leopard, and said in an icy cold voice, "This time, I'm going to let you know your mistake."
Then, Jiang Hao pointed in turn to Ye Fengwu and Qin Qinghan, and said again, "He... is my brother. She... is my sister-in-law."
At these words, the Golden Leopard's eyes first showed shock, then became desperate and bitter. Even in his dreams he couldn't have imagined that he would actually lay his evil claws on the woman Brother Hao called his sister-in-law. At this moment, he finally realized that the one who wouldn't leave here alive today... was himself.
The few young men with broken legs were also frightened and trembling. To think they had... laid hands on Brother Hao's elder brother and sister-in-law. That was like showing off in front of the god of death how long you could live.
Behind Jiang Hao, the dozens of eager subordinates also stared wide-eyed. No wonder Brother Hao was acting so strangely today.
What shocked them most, however, was that in Haihua City there was actually someone who Brother Hao would call "brother". Who could this person be?
The most shocked was undoubtedly Qin Qinghan. When the Eastern Dragon King said she was his sister-in-law, her mind went completely blank.
Could it be that Ye Fengwu was not only a powerful fighter, but also had connections with the underworld? That must be it. What sin had she committed to actually agree to get a marriage certificate with a fugitive?
Although the Golden Leopard knew he was certainly going to die, he still cried and begged Ye Fengwu and Qin Qinghan, "Big brother, sister-in-law, little brother was blind. But little brother really didn't touch sister-in-law's hand. Please spare little brother's dog life, big brother and sister-in-law."
After all, Qin Qinghan was a woman, and a kind-hearted woman at that. Even for the most evil person, when they admitted their wrong, she would still feel compassion.
So, Qin Qinghan's expression gradually became conflicted. She wanted to plead for mercy, but didn't dare speak up.
Jiang Hao looked to Ye Fengwu and said, "Brother Wu, say something."
Ye Fengwu exhaled a smoke ring, and only after he had expressionlessly snuffed out the cigarette butt did he flatly say, "It shouldn't be hard for you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao instantly understood something. Then he stood up and said, "Prepare seven bags, handle it cleanly."
At these words, the faces of the Golden Leopard and the other six youths instantly turned ashen.
"Brother Hao, spare me..."
One of the little brothers had just started to beg for mercy when two people dragged him out. The Golden Leopard and several others were also dragged out in succession like dead dogs.
The Golden Leopard didn't beg for mercy again, because he understood Jiang Hao. The Eastern Dragon King was able to get to where he was today relying on his ruthless methods, something an ordinary person could hardly imagine. Begging for mercy... would only make his death more painful.
Ye Fengwu clearly felt Qin Qinghan's body trembling. Her palms were also getting colder and colder.
Ye Fengwu knew Qin Qinghan had been frightened scared. After all, she was a gentle woman. How could she have seen such a scene before?
So Ye Fengwu tried his best to act a little gentler, and smiled at Qin Qinghan, "It's okay. They do this kind of thing all the time. What's more, good deeds have good returns, evil deeds have evil returns. The Golden Leopard and the others deserve to die."
Hmm!
It would have been better if Ye Fengwu hadn't tried to comfort her. These words instantly caused Qin Qinghan's tightly wound heartstrings to snap. She covered her mouth with one hand, almost crying out loud, but the scalding tears still streamed out between her fingers.
Of course, Qin Qinghan wasn't crying out of sympathy for the Golden Leopard and the other six youths. The main reason was that she had been frightened by the Eastern Dragon King's aura. After all, she was just an ordinary person. How could she have experienced killing before? That was seven human lives. With a casual sentence from him, he could decide if they lived or died.
It seemed Ye Fengwu understood that Qin Qinghan had cried from fear. So he vented the anger in his heart on Jiang Hao, snorting, "Can't you have dragged them out first before killing them? Did you have to say it here?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao's face grew awkward, but he still had an obsequious smile as he said to Qin Qinghan, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I'll definitely pay attention next time."
Next time...
Hearing "next time", Qin Qinghan's tears flowed even more uncontrollably. Rumor had it this man had taken nearly a hundred lives, but it looked now like it was probably close to a thousand.
After all, she had known the Ye Fengwu who had forcibly entered her life for less than a day. She basically didn't understand his past, and didn't even know what kind of person he was. The only thing she could be certain of was, this person... was even more terrifying than the Eastern Dragon King.
Seeing Qin Qinghan cry even harder, Ye Fengwu glared fiercely at Jiang Hao and cursed, "Get lost..."
"Hehe..."
After being cursed at, Jiang Hao was not angry at all. On the contrary, he became even more grinning and obsequious, like a little brother who had done something wrong.
This stunned Jiang Hao's dozens of subordinates. When had they ever seen the domineering Brother Hao act so humble and subservient? Was this really the famous underground Eastern Dragon King of Haihua City?
However, they gradually understood one thing: the person Brother Hao respected so highly must be extremely extraordinary.
Jiang Hao didn't feel uncomfortable at all behaving so inferiorly in front of his little brothers. On the contrary, he felt it was only right, because in all of China, the only person who could make him discard all self-respect and look up was the man before him.
At this time, Ye Fengwu's expression was gradually becoming heavy. Then he looked up at Jiang Hao and said lightly, "Little Hao, now that you've gotten some power you'll use just anyone, huh? How many of the original principles... have you kept?"
Hearing Ye Fengwu's light yet low tone, Jiang Hao's heart suddenly tightened, and his eyes swam with thick guilt.
He wasn't the sort to like explaining. He understood Ye Fengwu's temperament even better. Wrong was wrong. Explaining would only make him look down on Jiang Hao even more.
So Jiang Hao didn't say anything. Instead, he put his right leg up on the table.
When everyone didn't know what Jiang Hao was trying to do, they saw him suddenly swing the steel pipe in his hand down without any hesitation, smashing it against his own thigh with all his might.
Seeing this, all of Jiang Hao's little brothers stared wide-eyed in shock. Qin Qinghan also deeply inhaled. This famous Eastern Dragon King actually did such a self-mutilating act just because of a sentence from Ye Fengwu? What had their relationship been in the past?
Bang!
With a muffled thud, the steel pipe smashed down ferociously. In an instant, Jiang Hao's complexion changed.
Because the blow hadn't landed on his leg at all, instead smashing into a brawny, muscular arm.
Everyone could clearly see the steel pipe bent at a forty five degree angle, showing just how powerful Jiang Hao's blow had been.
What shocked them most was that this strike, powerful enough to smash apart a hard stone, hadn't left a single mark on that sturdy arm.
"Brother Wu..." Jiang Hao's face was full of guilt, and the two words "Brother Wu" even trembled a bit.
Ye Fengwu took away the steel pipe from Jiang Hao's hand and lightly exerted force. The steel pipe instantly became straight again. This scene made Jiang Hao's little brothers feel even more terrified of Ye Fengwu's strength.
Ye Fengwu looked at Jiang Hao and said in a very serious tone, "This time, I helped you bear it. Next time, I'll do it myself."
Ye Fengwu's words were very clear. If Jiang Hao still had underlings like the Golden Leopard, Ye Fengwu would personally break Jiang Hao's leg.
This was the principle Ye Fengwu had set down for Jiang Hao eight years ago.
Jiang Hao grinned like a little kid and said, "Brother Wu, definitely won't happen again."
After speaking, Jiang Hao threw his arms around Ye Fengwu. Ye Fengwu patted Jiang Hao on the back, expressing the brotherly affection of not having seen each other for eight years.
After the two separated, Jiang Hao politely smiled at Qin Qinghan and said, "Sister-in-law, my name is Jiang Hao. You can call me Little Hao from now on. Today's incident was due to my incompetence which startled you, so consider this car as compensation and an apology."
As he spoke, Jiang Hao suddenly took out an electronic key from his pocket and handed it to Qin Qinghan.
Qin Qinghan glimpsed the Ferrari logo on the key at a glance, but she did not take it, nor would she take it. She was still in a state of shock until now.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
