"Oh, and that Li Qingyan. She’s as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal. Father, I want that woman. You can’t compete with me for her this time." As he spoke, Yan Duo brazenly glanced at Li Qingyan, as if she was already his for the taking. He was confident that as soon as his father arrived, everything would be settled. In the past, this might have been true, given how much Yan Feng doted on Yan Duo. Today, however, the situation was different. Unfortunately, Yan Duo was still oblivious.

Yan Duo chattered on, but Yan Feng hadn’t uttered a single word. He had spotted Yang Qi the moment he entered, and he wanted to weep. How did I raise such a profligate son? The one person in Thunder City you absolutely can’t provoke right now is Yang Qi! Of all people, you had to provoke him. Aren’t you just courting death? Meanwhile, Yan Duo, completely unaware of this, continued to prattle on excitedly about his own affairs.

Li Qingyan felt a growing fear. After all, the man who had arrived was the Family Head of the Yan Family, one of the Four Great Doors and Six Families. The family is rumored to be filled with experts. I’ve only just arrived and I’ve already provoked someone like this. How am I supposed to do business in the future? Gathering her courage, Li Qingyan said, "Family Head Yan, it’s not a major issue. We simply paid the rent in advance and signed a contract, but Young Master Yan insisted on kicking us out. We only want our prepaid rent and the breach of contract fee returned, but your son refused to pay. That’s why it’s escalated to this." Her tone had already softened, as she was completely unaware of Yang Qi’s current status in Thunder City.

Yan Duo laughed smugly. "Scared now, Li Qingyan? Weren’t you so high and mighty just a moment ago? Weren’t you looking down on everyone? A single look at my father and you’re terrified?

"Let me tell you, Li Qingyan, if you don’t spend a few days keeping me company, this matter is far from over! As for everyone else, none of you will be leaving on your own two feet today!

"Get on your knees and apologize right now, or I’ll kill every last one of you!"

SLAP!

Right then, Yan Feng smacked a heavy palm across Yan Duo’s face. "You bastard, shut your mouth! Is this your place to speak?"

Yan Duo froze, completely stunned. He couldn’t understand why his father would hit him. "Father, what are you doing? If you’re going to hit someone, hit Yang Qi! Why are you hitting me?" Yan Duo was completely baffled by his father’s actions.

"What am I doing? You dare to be so disrespectful to Mr. Yang? I think you’ve truly grown tired of living! Get on your knees and apologize to Mr. Yang this instant!" Yan Feng roared.

"I won’t! Why should I? Why should I apologize to him? We’re the Yan Family, and you’re the Family Head!" Yan Duo spat defiantly.

"Hold him down!" Yan Feng commanded. His men immediately seized Yan Duo, forcing him to his knees before Yang Qi.

"No need to force him if he’s unwilling," Yang Qi said lightly. "He is your son, after all. It would make me look unreasonable."

THUMP!

Yan Feng knelt directly before Yang Qi. He knew all too well that people who smiled while they spoke were the most dangerous. You never knew when they might strike and kill you, and by then, it would be too late to even react. "Mr. Yang, my foolish son was ignorant and offended you. This is my failure as a father. Fortunately, no great disaster has occurred. I beg you to spare his life," Yan Feng implored, knocking his head on the ground as he spoke. "I will take him back and discipline him strictly. I’ll ensure he never comes out to cause trouble again."

Yan Duo was dumbstruck! Li Qingyan was dumbstruck! Everyone present was utterly dumbstruck! They simply couldn’t imagine it. The influential head of the Yan Family was actually kneeling before Yang Qi, kowtowing in apology and terrified that Yang Qi would get angry. What in the world is happening?

By now, Yan Duo was so scared he had wet himself. Even his own father was this deferential to the man. How could he have dared to make an enemy of Yang Qi? Wasn’t that just suicide? My father is my only backer! This time, I’ve really kicked an iron plate. No, this is like kicking an armored tank! He trembled from head to toe, completely at a loss for what to do.

Yang Qi looked at Yan Duo with a grin. "Young Master Yan, didn’t you say your father was going to deal with me when he arrived? That he was going to kill me? Well, your father is here now. Go on, tell him how you’re going to kill me. I’m waiting."

Yan Duo trembled, a warm puddle spreading beneath him. He had really pissed himself. "Mr. Yang! Mr. Yang, I was wrong!" he wailed. "I was blind! My brain must have been waterlogged! I can’t believe I offended you! I’m willing to accept any punishment! Please, just spare me this once on account of my youth and ignorance! I’ll never dare to do it again, I swear! I’ll never dare!"

"You really don’t dare?" Yang Qi said with a smile. "You were pretty impressive just now, weren’t you? Cursing me out, sneering at my friends. What was that about making my friends sleep with you? Do you believe I’ll castrate you and feed *it* to the dogs?"

Yan Feng was in utter despair. How could his son be such a disappointment? But then again, he was also to blame. He had assumed Yang Qi was doomed this time, which was why he hadn’t stopped his son from causing trouble for the Qifei Group. It had all led to this depressing mess. If Yang Qi refused to spare them, they were truly out of options.

"Alright, everyone get up," Yang Qi said with a wave of his hand. "I wasn’t planning on killing anyone. The Yan Family just submitted to the Star Shining Society, after all. It wouldn’t be appropriate to kill your son right now." He smiled. "However, the trouble your son started needs a solution. Otherwise, who would respect me as their boss? Am I right, Yan Feng?"

"Yes, yes, of course!" Yan Feng nodded repeatedly. He immediately came up with a solution. In the end, all Yang Qi wanted was to save face. If he gave Yang Qi face, this matter would be resolved. "How about this? The Qifei Group can lease these two floors of the office building for free. We won’t charge a single cent. You can stay for as long as you like!"

BANG!

Suddenly, Yang Qi slammed his palm on the table. His voice was cold. "Yan Feng, do you think my words are meaningless? I am very dissatisfied with your solution. How about I just wipe out the Yan Family instead?"

"No, no, no!" Yan Feng shook his head frantically. "I... I’ll give the entire office building to the Qifei Group! From now on, it’s all yours. You can do whatever you want with it! We will also immediately refund the rent and the penalty fee. I only beg you, Mr. Yang, to spare the lives of my son and myself!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Li Qingyan was completely stunned. Was Yang Qi this domineering in Thunder City? He could just take property from the Yan Family whenever he wanted? It seems he wasn’t lying before. When the Yan Family makes a mistake, they really do have to face the punishment.
