"What? Denied?"

Upon hearing the words from Ke Wei over the phone, everyone trembled, their faces showing a look of disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost. Everyone in New York knows that Johnson is Ke Wei's biological son; this matter is well-known. But now Ke Wei denies it, which can only be said that Ke Wei is abandoning Johnson. In other words, even the Nokevi family can't afford to offend Lu Tianxing's identity, forcing them to make such a move to sacrifice the pawn to protect the king.

"No, impossible, Daddy, it's me, I'm Johnson, save me, he's a devil, a demon."

After hearing these words, Johnson's body trembled violently, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream, as if afraid that Ke Wei hadn't heard him, while desperately wriggling on the ground.

"Mr. Ke Wei, you heard him, he says he's your son."

"Sir, don't joke with me, I don't have a son named Johnson, I don't know him at all. If you want to kill him, feel free, don't worry about the New York police coming after you." Ke Wei said with a bit of fright, he was very familiar with Johnson's voice, it was indeed his son yelling just now, but could he admit it?

If he admitted to Johnson, who knows if it would provoke these Killing Gods? Compared to Johnson's life, he cared more about the future of the Nokevi family. As for his son, he could always have another one later. Besides, Johnson was just one of his many sons.

"Kill him, I find it dirtying my hands. However, I don't like being insulted as a yellow-skinned monkey, so I also don't want to see him again in the future. We're at villa number ten in the Manhattan District right now, send someone to take him away. You should know what to do next. Just because I'm talking to you nicely, it doesn't mean I won't kill you, understand?"

"Sir, I understand, I know what to do next."

Ke Wei's voice carried a chill, making the killing intent clear to feel.

Lu Tianxing said nothing more, hanging up the phone directly, then walked to Johnson's side, glanced at his ashen face without saying a word, and as if grabbing a bag of garbage, picked Johnson up and walked out.

At the hall entrance, without looking at Johnson in his hand, Lu Tianxing casually tossed him out the door like throwing out trash, then closed the door and came back inside.

Lu Tianxing had no interest in knowing what happened to Johnson. To him, Johnson was just an ant; as long as Ke Wei wasn't stupid, Johnson was doomed. If the Nokevi family dared to play tricks, he wouldn't mind killing a few people.

With all eyes on him, Lu Tianxing walked straight to Bai Zhiqing's side, his previously fierce aura completely vanished, restoring his former appearance. Looking at Bai Zhiqing, he softly said, "Wife, sorry to worry you."

"It's fine, as long as you're okay."

Bai Zhiqing gently shook her head, showing no sympathy for Johnson's fate; he brought it upon himself. Moreover, he insulted the Huaxia Nation; no one would choose to sympathize with someone like him.

Lu Tianxing smiled lightly, turning to look at Li Ya, he said, "Miss Li Ya, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused earlier. If the Nokevi family wants to cause you trouble in the future, just send them to me. Also, thank you for standing by my side earlier."

Li Ya took a deep breath, smiling at Lu Tianxing, "Mr. Lu, you're joking. Zhiqing is my friend; if I don't stand by my friend, what kind of friend would I be?"

"Li Ya, you're right; we are friends."

Upon hearing Li Ya's words, a smile also appeared on Bai Zhiqing's face.

"Yes, we are friends, friends for life."

Li Ya's face also broke into a smile, secretly grateful that she stood by Lu Tianxing. Otherwise, her fate might not have been much different from Johnson's, perhaps she would have become a discarded pawn of the Louis family as well.

While talking to Bai Zhiqing, Li Ya's gaze subtly swept over Lu Tianxing beside Bai Zhiqing. Her beautiful eyes shone with intense curiosity. Who exactly is Lu Tianxing that he could make the Nokevi family finally back down with just a phone call? This was something even her family couldn't achieve, yet it was accomplished by a young man around her age, all with just one phone call.

The mysterious Eastern China, it's a mysterious country.

Li Ya finally understood why her family spoke with a tone of respect when mentioning Eastern China. It is indeed a country that instills fear; once awakened, it is like a giant dragon that no one can stop from rising.

"Miss Li Ya, what's wrong? Why aren't you speaking?"

At this moment, Li Ya suddenly heard a voice by her ear, subconsciously came to her senses, and saw Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing looking at her curiously. Her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she said, "It's nothing, I was just lost in thought."

"Haha, Miss Li Ya, Zhiqing and I discussed earlier about the events tonight, and I'm truly sorry, but I had to do it, disrupting your party. So, Zhiqing and I will leave now, and tomorrow we'll invite you to dinner to apologize in person," Lu Tianxing said softly to Li Ya.

"Mr. Lu, you're joking, you didn't affect me at all. All of this was Johnson's self-inflicted suffering. He's just a selfish, narrow-minded racist. Don't mind him, consider it a lesson for him."

With that, Li Ya turned to look at the spot where Johnson had been, now clean thanks to the attendants, and spoke to everyone present, "Everyone, I apologize for what just happened and how it affected your moods, but I hope you won't leave just because of this small matter. You probably guessed the purpose of this party, indeed, it's to welcome my best friend. Let me formally introduce her: she's Bai Zhiqing from China, and her husband beside her is Lu Tianxing."

Upon hearing Li Ya's introduction, everyone came to their senses, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at Bai Zhiqing. Thanks to Li Ya's introduction, everyone knew Bai Zhiqing's identity, especially recently with all the buzz about the partnership deal in New York; everyone remembered the lucky person from Bai's Group in China.

As one of the world's top 500 companies, the Angel Group actually chose a Chinese company as a new partner. This news had long spread across New York, making Bai Zhiqing, the lucky one, well-known, albeit only by reputation rather than appearance.

"It's getting late now, everyone, I won't say much more. I declare the first event of the party, the ball, officially begins."

As Li Ya's voice faded, melodious and soothing music began to echo throughout the hall, and everyone instinctively took their dance partners and stepped onto the dance floor.
