"I can't believe the one who killed Second Cousin was him."

Upon hearing this, Ximen Feihua's expression slightly darkened. The Ximen Clan has two main systems, one responsible for intelligence collection, led by the man in front of them with the codename Black Rat. Despite Black Rat's cold demeanor, his actions are extremely reliable, so if he says it was, then it is undoubtedly true.

"Do you know this little bastard called Qin Yang?"

Ximen Feng's gaze turned towards Ximen Feihua.

"Yes, Aunt, I attended the auction in Danfeng City together with him a few days ago, so we had a brief encounter. At that time, he used the alias 'Ni Daye' in front of me."

Ximen Feihua replied respectfully, though he was still somewhat puzzled about why this kid used that alias.

"Ni Daye, Ni Daye..."

Ximen Feihua murmured it twice, then his face sank. Isn't the pronunciation of Ni Daye similar to 'your grandpa'?!

"Damn, that scoundrel, he actually played me."

A flash of anger appeared in Ximen Feihua's eyes, clearly realizing the trick.

"No matter what he's called, that little bastard must die!"

Ximen Feng's makeup-adorned face frowned, speaking coldly.

"Madam Feng, besides Young Master Huan's death in the Qingxia River Valley, the son of the Great Tributor of the Dark Palace, Cold Snake, was also killed. The Dark Palace just called, saying they want to join forces with our Ximen Clan and Sea Dragon Sect to storm Feipu Manor, then destroy the Celestial Sword Pavilion."

Black Rat's voice remained indifferent as he reported.

"That little bastard certainly made quite a few enemies. Fine, we'll take the lead from the Ximen Clan, I'm going to make sure everyone associated with that kid dies cleanly!"

Ximen Feng spoke sharply.

"Aunt, that kid is not simple. I personally saw him kill two Tributors from the Dark Palace and repel the Palace Master An Yuan. If we're going to attack Feipu Manor, we must deploy Earth Tier experts." Ximen Feihua said. Earth Tier experts are the high-level forces of the clan, not easily mobilized.

"I understand. I will apply through the elders. Dare to kill my son, even if he is an Earth Tier expert, he won't escape death."

Ximen Feng replied coldly.

Morning came, bright and sunny.

It was now the third day that Qin Yang had been in seclusion.

At the entrance of Feipu Manor, the surrounding trees were lush and filled with the coolness of summer.

A barrier pole stretched across the entrance of the manor, and two rows of eight men in black suits stood in front of it.

"Brother A Fei, I never thought I'd work as security personnel, earning over ten thousand a month, with full insurance and benefits."

A young man in a black suit said to the leader, A Fei. Their current salary is not worse than that of white-collar workers.

A Fei, the youth who often followed the bald man from Skull Hall, had joined Qin Yang along with the bald man and was now in charge of security work at the manor entrance while the bald man was managing the brewery with Fang Yun and was not at Feipu Manor.

"Gouzi, isn't it thanks to Young Master Qin's generosity? When has Young Master Qin ever been stingy with money?"

A Fei chuckled, replied.

"Indeed, the treatment here is good, and the work environment is great. Brother A Fei, have you noticed the air in this manor gets better and better every day? Just taking a few breaths makes you feel refreshed."

Another strong black-clad youth said with a foolish smile.

"Zhuantou, no need for you to mention it. Brother noticed it early on. I have a feeling if you stay here long enough, you can live longer."

Gouzi took a deep breath of air and smiled with a face full of enjoyment.

"If I could have this job for a lifetime, it would be great."

Zhuantou laughed genuinely, his face showed a touch of longing. With his current salary, he could send back six to seven thousand monthly to his parents in his hometown to renovate the house and send two thousand to his studying sister, enough for his parents and sister to live well, leaving himself about two thousand, which was sufficient.

"Haha, look at your modest aspirations, satisfied with ten thousand a month. Let me tell you some good news, Manager Li said that once the manor opens, the security duties will increase, and we'll get a raise."

A Fei laughed and said.

"Really...?"

"Young Master Qin and Manager Li are amazing..."

"..."

The other security personnel responded excitedly. Apart from A Fei, Gouzi, and Zhuantou, who lived a rough life, the other five were also retired soldiers.

In this era that values educational qualifications, some retired soldiers lack the skills needed to adapt to society and generally can only find jobs as security personnel or gatekeepers. However, typical security jobs or gatekeeper roles are hard work with low pay, only allowing them to barely make ends meet.

The current high-paying job is more than satisfying for them.

A Fei and the other two were the same. Following the bald man as hooligans previously, life was generally tough, and they were looked down upon by others, so they cherished their current job.

While the crowd was chatting, five black Cadillacs sped towards the manor.

"Cough, get ready, someone is coming."

A Fei coughed to interrupt the crowd's talk.

As the manor was nearing opening, some wealthy people often wanted to take a look, but Li Xinyan had directed that no one was allowed up the mountain until the grand opening, so A Fei and his team mostly intercepted these wealthy people.

But those five extended Cadillacs didn't seem to slow down even when they were seeing the barrier pole from afar.

"What's going on?!"

A Fei and others changed their expressions, as these vehicles seemed aggressive.

"Stop!"

A Fei shouted sharply.

But those black Cadillacs ignored them, only barely stopping as they were about to hit the barrier pole.

This style of driving made the expressions of A Fei and the others change.

"Who are you people?"

The door of the car at the front was closest to Gouzi. At that moment, Gouzi approached and asked.

The black car window slowly rolled down, and a withered hand reached out, gripping Gouzi's throat.

Crack!

A crisp sound of bones breaking was heard. That withered hand had crushed Gouzi's throat, causing blood to flow from his mouth.

Moments later, Gouzi's eyes rolled back, and he stopped breathing, his body collapsing in front of the car.

"Gouzi?!"

A Fei and the others' faces changed drastically at the sight. Was this... murder?!!

The car door opened, and an old man with a withered and ugly face stepped out. He cast a cool glance at A Fei and the others, sending chills down their spines.

"Gulp~!"

A Fei swallowed, conquering his inner fear, and reached for the gun inside his suit pocket.

"I'll kill you!"

Seeing the tragic death of Gouzi, who had just been chatting with them, Bricks' honest face turned cold. He let out a roar and swung the electric baton in his hand at the withered old man's head.

"Hmph, insignificant worms."

The withered old man let out a cold laugh, lifted his foot, and kicked Bricks in the abdomen.

Bang!

Bricks' eyes bulged out instantly, bloodshot, as if hit head-on in the stomach by a bull with immense strength, his body flying backward.

"Bricks!"

A Fei's eyes turned red, pulling out the gun from his pocket and firing it at the withered old man.

Bam!

As the bullet flew out, the withered old man's figure flickered, and he was no longer in his original position.

"He's gone."

Just as A Fei's face showed horror, a withered hand grabbed his wrist holding the gun.

Rip!

The withered old man, expressionless, casually pulled, tearing off A Fei's entire right arm holding the gun. Blood sprayed out frantically, staining the ground instantly.

"Ah~!!"

A Fei let out a tragic scream, face pale, falling to the ground.

The remaining five saw this, their faces changing drastically, eyes filled with horror. This man could dodge bullets!

"Call Brother Zhao, someone in the villa..."

Bricks, who was kicked flying by the withered old man, spat out a mouthful of blood, his abdomen caved in, but he still gritted his teeth, reaching for the communicator in his pocket and starting to speak.

Whoosh!

The withered old man's figure flickered, already standing in front of Bricks, catching hold of his sturdy body with one hand, then mercilessly squeezing his neck.

"Hello, Bricks, what happened at the villa?"

From the other side of Bricks' communicator came Zhao Hui's voice.

"...Someone...broke in..."

Bricks, blood streaming from his mouth, gasped weakly, his head drooping down.

The withered old man flicked his hand, tossing Bricks' corpse to the side, then turned his gaze to the other security guards.

"You people have no need to live either."

The withered old man said coldly, intent on killing all of them.

"Let it go, Cold Tributor, killing too many mundane ants like these will trouble us with the Huaxia Government's Special Security Department."

The car door opened, and An Yuan stepped out wearing a luxurious black robe. From the car behind him, four men dressed in black martial attire also stepped out.

"You four, break the legs of all these people and toss them aside, do the same to others in the manor."

An Yuan instructed.

"Yes, Palace Master."

The four black-clad men replied in unison. These four were masters of the Yellow Tier Perfection, dealing with the villa's security was naturally not a problem.

Accompanied by several screams, the four black-clad men broke the legs of the remaining five security guards, then their figures flickered, heading into the mountains.

The barrier lifted, and five Cadillacs sped towards the villa.

Inside Feipu Manor, monitoring room.

Zhao Hui and Wang Hu stood in front of the monitor, their faces extremely grim. After receiving Bricks' call, they also received a message from the monitoring room, and knew something had happened at the villa. They immediately hurried to the monitoring room and saw the footage of Bricks and the others tragically dying, as well as the five Cadillacs breaking into the villa.

"Huzi, these people are powerful Ancient Martial Artists, quickly notify Bi Pavilion Master, have her bring the disciples to support us."

Zhao Hui's face was somewhat grim, but he remained composed, immediately instructing Wang Hu.
