How could the Harry Clan show such respect to someone who is an idle person?

Many of the notable guests at the banquet began to regret, wondering why they hadn't realized this earlier.

None of the people attending this banquet have simple identities. Why hadn't they guessed earlier that he was the most esteemed guest of the Harry Clan? Had they thought of this sooner and forged an alliance with him, their status in the United States would have undoubtedly risen!

Unfortunately, this world has no "if."

As everyone lamented, they donned exceedingly respectful expressions and flocked to Ye Qiu, trying to curry favor with various polite gestures, which was a natural course of action.

Such a star-studded atmosphere left Mia'er feeling somewhat dazed.

These people, who were just ridiculing and sneering, now turned into fawning lapdogs eager to please. Is there anything more laughable?

With just a few words, Ye Qiu sent them all away.

Although the elite guests weren't able to befriend Ye Qiu and felt regretful, they dared not complain. After all, he is someone even the Harry Clan must handle with care; provoking him would be akin to challenging the Harry Clan, which would be a most unwise act!

Not long after, the banquet ended in such an atmosphere.

As the elite guests departed, Mia'er also wished to leave, but Ye Qiu held her hand and did not let go.

She understood his intention, feeling a bit nervous yet more excited.

She had already lost count of the nights she lay sleepless, with that mesmerizing figure lingering in her mind.

And now, that figure stood before her, holding her hand. For a woman, what could be more blissful than this?

After the Harry Clan had cleared the venue, Ye Qiu and Mia'er returned to the room to rest.

As soon as they entered the room, Mia'er's eyes turned dreamy, gazing at Ye Qiu with an indescribable surge of emotions welling in her heart.

In an instant, she wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck and offered a kiss filled with longing.

Though the time she spent with him wasn't long, just over a month, that period was unforgettable and engraved in her heart.

Moved by Mia'er's initiative, Ye Qiu's expression softened, and his face overflowed with tenderness, thinking — doesn't she count as his woman?

They embraced, kissed, and shared their longing for each other.

...

This night was wonderful for many, but not for everyone!

Stone felt his night was a nightmare, a joke!

Being an heir of the Aslimo family, yet thrown out of the banquet — he could foresee that this incident would turn him into a laughingstock in the United States' social circles and people would gossip about it over meals.

This he could not tolerate.

"Damn it!"

Fuming, he clenched his fist and smashed a wine bottle worth tens of thousands onto the ground, "Have you found out who that person is?"

He seemed to roar these words at one of his subordinates.

"Y-Yes, young master, we've found out," the subordinate replied both respectfully and fearfully.

"Speak!"

Seeing his subordinate's discomposure made Stone even more displeased. He felt having such a subordinate was embarrassing.

But given his urgency to learn Ye Qiu's identity, he restrained his anger.

"H-He is the Demon King..." as the subordinate spoke, his teeth trembled uncontrollably.

"Demon King? What is that thing?" Stone inquired, puzzled.

"The Demon King, a myth in Huaxia, with few rivals globally! It is said that the world's number one assassin, Shadow, has already died at his hands," the subordinate's face was both horrified and awestruck, for a man to become this powerful was an idol in everyone's heart!

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Stone's eyes widened.

He had not heard of the Demon King but knew of Shadow's name well.

The reputed strongest assassin in the world had actually been defeated by this so-called Demon King?

"Is he really that powerful?"

"Absolutely true. Before, wasn't Shadow taking on the mission to assassinate Harlevi? But now, Shadow's completely disappeared, while Harlevi is still fine!"

"Furthermore, it is said that the Duwei Clan orchestrated the assassination of Harlevi, and now the Duwei Clan has been wiped off the map, whereas the Harry Clan has only grown stronger!" At this point, the subordinate was still extremely shocked — never would he have imagined that the exceedingly powerful Shadow would not be Ye Qiu's match.

Stone, having listened to his subordinate, was equally chilled to the bone.

Stone had never been one to swallow his pride, and after Ye Qiu embarrassed him so, there's no way he wouldn't want revenge, but finding out Ye Qiu could even vanquish Shadow left him dispirited.

How does one exact vengeance on such a formidable foe?

...

Meanwhile, in Europe.

The high-level members of the Blood Cross were seething with fury.

First, the Jade Buddha was unexpectedly taken by the Demon King, then the Jade Qilin, and now yet another, the Jade Ring — is the Demon King like a dog leaving traces everywhere, appearing crucially each time!

"As long as the Demon King exists, our plan can never be realized!"

"Indeed, this matter cannot be tolerated any longer!"

The assembly was filled with righteous indignation, unable to endure Ye Qiu's actions anymore.

The high-level members of the Blood Cross were certain that if there was a next time, Ye Qiu would definitely appear on time again.

To thoroughly root out this issue, the only solution was to completely eliminate Ye Qiu!

"Spare no cost to annihilate the Demon King!"

"What is the situation in the laboratory now?" Although the Controller of the Blood Cross was angry, he remained composed.

"We are in the final stage, any time now!"

"Good! Let's head to the laboratory now and commence the mission to slay the Demon King!"
