The waiter said, "I didn't start this, but ensuring the safety of these ladies is my duty."

"Are you asking for a beating?" Xiong Tao shouted at the waiter as soon as he heard him.

The waiter responded, "Sir, you better watch your mouth, you may have paid, but that doesn't include the right to abuse people!"

"Damn it!" Xiong Tao immediately stood up!

Xiong Tao, known for his fiery temper, was particularly incensed as there were several girls around, including two foreign ones. With that, he felt utterly disgraced that a mere waiter would dare to defy him. How could he show his face around here again?

So, Xiong Tao felt the urge to hit someone!

As soon as Xiong Tao stood up, he moved to hit the waiter, but this time the waiter didn't just take it and verbally retaliate like before—he fought back!

Xiong Tao kicked, and the waiter fell to the ground, but quickly, bearing the pain, he stood up and rushed towards Xiong Tao. At this moment, Xiong Tao had his back to Ye Xiao, so from Ye Xiao's perspective, only Xiong Tao was visible. However, Xiong Tao saw the waiter rushing at him with a shiny dagger in his hand!

Although the lighting in the private room was very dim, Xiong Tao could still see clearly and was horrified. Yet, by then, the dagger was already upon him.

Being a trained fighter, Xiong Tao managed to grab the dagger from the waiter's hand after the waiter had stabbed at him several times and even slashed his arm.

By now, Xiong Tao was seeing red, so without a second thought, he stabbed the waiter in the abdomen. The waiter, hit by the blow, clutched at the dagger and stepped back before falling to the ground!

As the waiter hit the floor, the ladies present screamed, some even cried out that there was a murder and ran outside. In the blink of an eye, everyone had fled except for Ye Xiao, Xiong Tao, and his underling.

It was only then that Xiong Tao realized he had wounded someone!

Oh no, that's wrong!

Looking at the man in front of him who showed no sign of movement, he realized he had killed someone!

At this thought, Xiong Tao involuntarily stepped back in fear.

"Brother Tao!" Xiong Tao's underling quickly came over, seeing the waiter lying there, seemingly lifeless, they were all shocked.

"Brother Tao, is he… is he dead?" Though the underling often strutted around with Xiong Tao with bravado, he had never actually killed anyone. Today was an eye-opener, witnessing Xiong Tao commit murder.

Xiong Tao himself was taken aback too, not having expected to actually kill someone, let alone with his own hands.

"Go… go check him!" Xiong Tao, looking at the apparently dead waiter on the ground, told his people.

Hearing Xiong Tao's order, the underling immediately stepped forward to check, but at that moment, Ye Xiao walked past the underling and checked the waiter's neck first, then said with surprise, "This is bad, he's dead."

"What?" Xiong Tao exclaimed in shock on hearing Ye Xiao's words, unable to believe the man was actually dead.

Ye Xiao, looking seriously at Xiong Tao, said, "What are you waiting for? The manager here will be here soon. We need to get out of here now!"

"Yeah, Brother Tao, let's hurry," Xiong Tao's underling urged him.

"But, this place…" Xiong Tao hesitated, unfamiliar with handling a situation involving murder and confused about what to do next!

Ye Xiao said, "Murder requires atonement."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Xiong Tao no longer hesitated and immediately ran out with his underling, leaving just Ye Xiao and the lifeless waiter in the room.

Ye Xiao glanced at the dagger in the waiter's abdomen. It was very sharp, but hadn't gone in very deep. When Ye Xiao had said the waiter was dead, he had actually tricked Xiong Tao. The waiter was probably just unconscious.

Ye Xiao immediately activated Nine Yang Divine Skill and using the Nine Yang True Qi, he started to heal the bleeding in the waiter's abdomen. Although it wouldn't heal immediately, it could at least temporarily stop the bleeding and sustain him till he got surgical treatment.

Soon afterwards, a man in his late twenties from the nightclub management came in. Upon seeing Ye Xiao and the waiter on the ground, his brow furrowed and he asked, "Who are you?"

"Ye Xiao!" Knowing that the man was affiliated with Heavenly Gate, Ye Xiao didn't hide his identity.

Hearing the name Ye Xiao, the man instantly became more respectful.

"So you're Brother Xiao. Wasn't there a word to finish off the newcomer? What happened?" the man asked in surprise, looking at the waiter on the ground.

Ye Xiao said, "Don't ask too many questions, just take him to the hospital, and later, tell everyone that this man is dead."

"What?" the man asked again in confusion, surprised by Ye Xiao's request.

"There's no why—this is an order!" Ye Xiao said sharply, raising his eyebrows.

The man dared not ask further.

Then, the man and several others picked up the waiter with the dagger still in his abdomen and carried him out.

Ye Xiao then sat back down on the sofa, took out his smartphone, which had a video on it recorded just moments before. The Apple 5s really was a good phone, both for taking photos and recording videos in great clarity.

Next, Ye Xiao sent the video out. If someone were beside him at that moment, they would have been immensely surprised because Ye Xiao was sending the video to Xiong Tao who had just fled the scene in a panic.

Upon sending the video, Ye Xiao allowed himself a slight smile, lifting a not quite pure glass of red wine, and mused quietly to himself: "This matter has come to a perfect close."

However, at that moment, Ye Xiao's phone suddenly rang.

Picking it up, it displayed Xiong Tao's number.

"That was quick!" Ye Xiao chuckled softly, then immediately answered the call.

"Ye Xiao, what do you mean?" Xiong Tao's voice came through, filled with anger and roar.

Ye Xiao just laughed and said, "I just wanted you to see whether this murder video needs to be submitted to the Guard Bureau."

Xiong Tao became even angrier, yelling loudly, "Ye Xiao, you're kicking me when I'm down!"

"It's surprising your Mandarin is pretty good. Yes, you're right, this is indeed 'kicking you when you're down,'" Ye Xiao laughed and responded to Xiong Tao.
