Bai Lan was quite helpless about the enmity between Ye Qiu and Lan Ying. She really couldn't understand why these two hadn't gotten along ever since their first meeting.

Of course, Bai Lan naturally didn't know what had happened when Ye Qiu and Lan Ying met for the first time, and Lan Ying and Ye Qiu certainly wouldn't voluntarily bring up these matters with Bai Lan.

Although Lan Ying was annoyed with Ye Qiu, with Bai Lan's persuasion, she didn't continue to target him.

Ye Qiu, although always targeted by Lan Ying, never got angry. In his view, this might just be his way of interacting with Lan Ying, and this way was also a kind of enjoyment.

The night passed without words, and early the next morning, Ye Qiu bid farewell to the three women and boarded the plane to Los Angeles.

As soon as Ye Qiu got off the plane, Harry Dong respectfully came to greet him.

"Demon King, you've finally arrived."

Although Harry Dong knew that since Ye Qiu had agreed to come, he would definitely come, but as long as Ye Qiu hadn't yet arrived in Los Angeles, he couldn't put his mind at ease.

"Is it really necessary?" Ye Qiu felt a bit speechless. He had just not made it here for one night, and it seemed like he really wouldn't show up.

"Uh…" Harry Dong was a bit embarrassed and hurriedly said, "I've already prepared a family banquet for you, just waiting for you to take your seat."

Saying this, Harry Dong made a gesture of invitation, letting Ye Qiu walk ahead.

However, Ye Qiu hadn't walked a few steps before he stopped, his gaze fixed forward, more accurately, fixed on a box.

For some reason, he always felt that the box brought him a very familiar feeling.

And Ye Qiu's unwavering gaze also caught the attention of the person carrying the box, who met Ye Qiu's eyes, filled with tension.

Harry Dong also noticed Ye Qiu's unusual behavior, and when he saw the owner of the box, his expression couldn't help but change.

"I was wondering who it was, turns out it's you."

That person seemed to want to alleviate his own wariness and said to Harry Dong.

"Hmph! What bad luck, running into you here today! Michael!" Seeing the person speak, Harry Dong didn't show him a good face at all.

In the face of Harry Dong's sarcasm, Michael also sneered, "Hmph, I was just about to say that I'm the unlucky one today, running into you, the harbinger of disaster!"

It was clear to any bystander that these two didn't get along at all, exchanging all sorts of sarcasm, but they were rational enough to only insult each other verbally without any intention of physical confrontation.

After a few insults, Michael backed off, which greatly surprised Harry Dong.

However, Ye Qiu noticed that Michael wasn't sincerely backing off for Harry Dong but was doing so because he valued the box in his hand greatly, willing to endure a loss in front of Harry Dong for it.

This made Ye Qiu even more interested in the box.

"Get me some intel on that fellow from Huaxia."

Back in the car, Michael immediately instructed his subordinates. He didn't know Ye Qiu but felt that Ye Qiu would bring him a vague sense of danger. It was a critical time now, and he couldn't tolerate any unexpected events.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiu also got into the car with Harry Dong.

"Who's that Michael just now?" As soon as he got in the car, Ye Qiu started inquiring about Michael's identity.

"Him, he's the first heir of the Duwei Consortium." When introducing Michael, Harry Dong's face showed obvious displeasure, indicating that the grudge between them wasn't shallow.

"This Duwei Consortium ranks above our Harry Group, and they've been oppressing us all these years. However, with the strength of Harry Group, we're not that easy to suppress!" Talking about his own family, Harry Dong had an unparalleled sense of pride.

Ye Qiu wasn't concerned about these things. What he cared about was the box in Michael's hand.

"Have someone investigate Michael's whereabouts this time and what's hidden inside the box he brought back." Ye Qiu thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Harry Dong felt puzzled. Since when did Ye Qiu become so interested in this Michael?

Although curious, Harry Dong didn't ask any questions and agreed immediately, "I'll get someone on it right away."

Under Harry Dong's lead, Ye Qiu and the others soon arrived at Harlevi's villa.

"Welcome, Demon King."

As soon as Ye Qiu entered the villa, Harlevi came out to greet him, showing such respect as if he was treating a senior.

This behavior surprised all the bodyguards around.

In the entire United States, there weren't many who could be treated with such respect by Harlevi, making them very curious about Ye Qiu's identity.

"Hmm." Ye Qiu nodded, not saying much.

"I deeply appreciate the Demon King personally getting involved this time. I think with you here, I'll surely be very safe." Harlevi expressed his gratitude.

Harlevi's words made those bodyguards immediately understand that Ye Qiu was the external support Harlevi had invited.

Realizing this, the bodyguards began to feel displeased. Harlevi inviting external support was indirectly implying that he didn't really trust them and thought they were inadequate.

As bodyguards of a super consortium in the United States, they all carried their own pride. They didn't dare say anything to Harlevi, but it didn't stop them from looking down on Ye Qiu.

"Him? So young, can he handle Shadow?"

"Hah, look at his build. I bet he can't do much, I can knock a bunch over with just one punch!"

One robust bodyguard looked at Ye Qiu with contempt.

Following his comment, the other bodyguards also looked at Ye Qiu with disdain.

"Outrageous!"

Listening to his own bodyguards' blatant disregard, Harlevi immediately got angry.

These bodyguards didn't know Ye Qiu's strength, but Harlevi did. As one of the most powerful figures in Huaxia, how could he be an ordinary person?

"The Demon King is my invited guest, and is this how you treat my guest? If you're still not convinced, you can leave Harry Group right now!"

Scolded so harshly by Harlevi, the bodyguards said nothing more, just pursed their lips, although their disdain for Ye Qiu did not improve.

Harlevi knew his bodyguards well enough and couldn't be bothered to argue much with them. After all, these bodyguards were indeed skilled and had saved him numerous times before; he couldn't overdo it.

"Demon King, don't mind them."

"Don't worry, if I were to stoop to their level, I'd consider whether they're even qualified." Ye Qiu said disdainfully.

"You..."

The bodyguards were furious, but seeing Harlevi's gaze, they dared not say another word.
