Volume One, Chapter Six: Who Can Save the Yun Family!

The members of the Yun family, recognizing the newcomer as Xu Biao, one of the vice leaders of Tiger Hall, all showed excitement on their faces.

"Master Xu, you arrived just in time."

Yun Cheng, wearing a flattering smile, quickly approached Xu Biao, nodding and bowing, "Master Xu, my father has lost his senses, and Yan Yan is just throwing a childish tantrum. Please, as a magnanimous man, don't take offense at their behavior."

"As long as you wish, Yan Yan will be yours tonight."

"But..."

Xu Biao cast a sidelong glance at Yun Cheng, "Rest assured. With me here, no one can touch the Yun family."

"Thank you, Master Xu, thank you!" Yun Cheng's heart was filled with excitement.

"Master Xu, from now on, no matter what you command, I, Yun Cheng, and even the entire Yun family will follow your lead without question!"

"Hmph, the Yun family's meager strength is nothing in my eyes," Xu Biao said dismissively. "If it weren't for Yun Xueyan, I wouldn't bother with your trivial affairs."

"You are right, Master Xu. The Yun family is no match for Tiger Hall," Yun Cheng nodded repeatedly. "Your support is our blessing, and Yan Yan's fortune."

With that, Yun Cheng turned to Yun Xueyan, his face instantly changing.

"Yan Yan, hurry and thank Master Xu."

"Master Xu is the savior of our Yun family. If you dare upset him, I won't let you off!"

Smack!

A fat, powerful hand suddenly slapped Yun Cheng across the face.

Unprepared, Yun Cheng staggered and fell to the ground in panic.

"Master Xu, you... I..."

Yun Cheng held his swollen, aching cheek, looking incredulously at Xu Biao, who had struck him.

"Do you think you can scold my woman? Say one more word, and I won't spare you!" Xu Biao threatened, his eyes fierce.

Yun Cheng shivered and hurriedly shut his mouth.

Xu Biao lumbered over to Yun Xueyan, grinning to reveal a mouthful of yellow teeth, his gaze lecherous. "Beauty, you must know Tiger Hall's power. Rest assured, if you follow me, no one will dare touch the Yun family."

"And if you wish, the Yun family's enterprises will be entirely under your control!"

As he spoke, Xu Biao's fat, pig-like hand reached toward Yun Xueyan.

The moment his hand was about to touch her, a strong hand appeared out of nowhere, grabbing his wrist.

Crack.

The hand tightened, and a clear sound of bone breaking echoed.

Immediately, a heart-rending squeal burst from Xu Biao's mouth.

"Ah..."

The intense pain made sweat bead on Xu Biao's forehead.

Soon, his fury replaced the pain, and he glared viciously at Chu Ming, who stood beside Yun Xueyan.

"You!"

"I am," Chu Ming replied calmly.

"You can't touch my woman! Breaking your hand is just a warning. If you dare try again, it won't be just your hand!"

"Well, well, boy, you're the first to speak to me like this," Xu Biao raged. "Let me see what you're capable of!"

"You want to see my capabilities? Not just you—even if your Tiger Hall leader Lin Batiger came himself, he wouldn't be qualified," Chu Ming said disdainfully.

"Hahaha, kid, do you even know what you're saying?" Xu Biao laughed in rage, but his eyes bore a chilling coldness as he looked at Chu Ming.

Before Xu Biao could act, the Yun family members began to mock Chu Ming.

"Truly ignorant, just a bastard who barely escaped death. If it weren't for the old man being fooled by you, you wouldn't even have a chance to step into the Yun family, yet you dare spout such wild words."

"Such shameless boasting, claiming even Tiger Lord isn't qualified. Why don't you look in the mirror?"

"You little bastard, do you know who Master Xu is? Daring to lay hands on him—kneel and apologize right now!"

"Damn it, if you want to die, don't drag the Yun family down with you."

Xu Biao's violent temper was infamous.

Once, a rich young man offended him with a single remark; Xu Biao beat him until his teeth were knocked out, and the young man died miserably in the street. Even his family couldn't escape Xu Biao's wrath. The incident caused a sensation in East City.

Yun Cheng, forgetting Xu Biao's earlier warning, turned to Yun Xueyan and rebuked her, "Yun Xueyan, look at the trouble you've caused! Now you've ruined the Yun family. Hurry and apologize to Master Xu!"

"The Yun family's survival depends entirely on Master Xu. Do you really want to see us erased from East City because of you?"

"As long as I'm here, no one can harm the Yun family," Chu Ming said calmly, watching as the Yun family raged.

Yun Cheng snapped, "You little bastard, how long will you remain so reckless? Kneel to Master Xu at once!"

"And you, Yun Xueyan, how long will you stay confused? If he wants to die, fine, but must you drag the whole Yun family down with him?"

Yun Xueyan gently shook her head. "I know what I'm doing. I believe in Chu Ming. He will save the Yun family."

Yun Cheng, frustrated, said, "You... you... how could you be bewitched by this little bastard? Your grandfather's old and muddle-headed, but must you be foolish too?"

"Master Xu is the one who can truly save us. If we anger him, the Yun family is finished."

Xu Biao, eyes blazing with rage, looked coldly at Yun Xueyan and Chu Ming. "Hmph, I've never failed to obtain what I desire."

"As for the Yun family, I see no reason for it to exist anymore."

Yun Cheng's heart tightened, and he pleaded, "Master Xu, please don't! Yan Yan is only confused for a moment. Once she comes around, she'll surely serve you obediently."

Xu Biao ignored Yun Cheng, his tone icy. "I've given you your chance. Now you can die."

"Except for Yun Xueyan, don't let any of the others escape!" Xu Biao commanded, waving his hand at his men.

No sooner had Xu Biao finished speaking than a deafening roar of engines sounded outside the Yun family estate.

Next, twenty burly men in sharp suits and sunglasses, carrying exquisite gifts, strode briskly into the Yun family home, forming two neat rows.

Xu Biao immediately recognized them as Tiger Hall members.

Just as Xu Biao was filled with confusion, Lin Batiger strode in from the main gate, his presence commanding and fierce.
