Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Take Action Without Unnecessary Talk

”You...” The fake Huang Quan started to scold Qin Qing, but when he saw her flawless face up close, his voice faltered. His eyes were glued to her.

So beautiful! If I could roll in the hay with such a beauty, that would be one of life’s greatest pleasures!

”Ahem...” The fake Huang Quan coughed lightly, feigning composure as he put on airs. ”Are you his wife?”

”Yes!” Qin Qing nodded and pleaded, ”Please, sir, be the bigger person and overlook my husband’s transgression. Spare him.”

”It’s not impossible for me to let him go...” The fake Huang Quan drew out his words, keeping everyone in suspense before finally continuing. ”How about this? I’m washing my hands of my past to settle down in Jin Ye City, and I happen to need someone to serve tea, run errands, and cook. If you’re willing to fill that position, I will pardon your husband.”

Though his words were euphemistic, everyone present understood their implicit meaning: he had taken a liking to Qin Qing.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Xiu’s eyes. This fool is practically begging to die.

Anger flared on Qin Qing’s face. ”I think that’s inappropriate,” she stated firmly.

Ming Yue, however, used the opportunity to goad the imposter. ”To forgive the man who provoked and humiliated you for a mere woman... if word of this got out, it would tarnish your lifelong reputation.”

After speaking, she shot a look at the covert backers, who quickly chimed in.

”Huang Quan’s reputation must not be ruined over a woman.”

”Anyone who dares to insult Huang Quan must be punished severely.”

”Mr. Huang Quan, I suggest you take Qin Qing and cripple her husband. That way, you get the woman and restore your honor. You’d kill two birds with one stone.”

Ming Yue and the covert backers were genuinely frantic. If ’Huang Quan’ spared Ye Xiu for Qin Qing’s sake, there was no way Ye Xiu would let them off the hook.

”Sir, there are plenty of women in Jin Ye City! I can find you any type you desire. There’s no need to damage your reputation over Qin Qing,” Luo Qiwei advised anxiously. ”It’s more important to get rid of this kid and preserve your honor.”

Qin Qing is the wife I’ve chosen for myself; I can’t let ’Huang Quan’ snatch her away.

SLAM!

The fake Huang Quan slammed his hand on the table and yelled, ”Are you questioning my decision?”

Seeing ’Huang Quan’ enraged, Luo Qiwei, Ming Yue, and the covert backers were instantly too terrified to speak.

Seeing that no one else dared to object, the fake Huang Quan impatiently asked Qin Qing, ”Are you willing?”

”This...” Qin Qing was trapped in a dilemma. She didn’t want to sleep with this old man, but for Ye Xiu’s sake, she would give up her life, let alone her chastity.

Gritting her teeth, Qin Qing was just about to agree.

”She refuses!”

At that moment, Ye Xiu, having seen enough of the show, stepped up beside Qin Qing.

”Are you insane?” Qin Qing scolded him. ”It doesn’t matter if I die. Don’t you forget that you still have important business to finish.”

Her meaning was clear: if she were forced to sleep with the fake Huang Quan, she would kill herself. She only hoped that Ye Xiu would live on to get his revenge.

”Don’t be afraid!” Ye Xiu embraced Qin Qing and whispered in her ear, ”He’s a fake Huang Quan.”

Qin Qing froze. Chloe had said this Huang Quan was a fake, and now Ye Xiu was saying the same thing.

Could the man before me really be an impostor?

”Kid, I am extremely angry now. Do you really think I don’t have the guts to kill you?” the fake Huang Quan glared, his voice seething with Killing Intent.

”Mr. Huang Quan, he’s utterly ungrateful. Please, kill him,” Ming Yue urged, seizing the opportunity.

The covert backers quickly followed.

”He ambushed you at the airport, and now he dares to disobey your command. It’s clear he has no respect for you, Huang Quan!”

”If this man is not killed, what will become of Huang Quan’s authority?”

”Mr. Huang Quan, your legendary reputation can’t be destroyed by him!”

SLAM!

The fake Huang Quan slapped the table. ”All of you, shut up!”

Instantly, everyone went silent.

With a cold expression, the fake Huang Quan stood up and glared down at Ye Xiu. ”Kid, you should know that while I said I was retiring, I haven’t done it yet. Even if I kill you right now, no one can accuse me of going back on my word. I suggest you convince your wife to come with me. Otherwise, not only will you die, but she will die too.”

SLAP!

Ye Xiu struck the fake Huang Quan across the face. ”If you’re going to kill me, do it. Stop wasting time talking.”

Everyone was stunned into silence by Ye Xiu’s slap.

This guy actually dared to hit Huang Quan? In public, no less! Does he have a death wish?

Ming Yue and the covert backers grew excited.

This time, Ye Xiu is definitely dead!

”You... you dare hit me?” the fake Huang Quan asked in disbelief.

SLAP!

Ye Xiu slapped him again. ”Well? Hurry up and kill me already.”

”You’re courting death!” Enraged, the fake Huang Quan bent down, grabbed the counterfeit Battle Soul Blade from under the table, and drew it menacingly. His voice was laced with murderous intent. ”Kid, I’ll give you one last chance. Cut off your own arm, and I’ll let you live. Otherwise, this day next year will be your...”

SLAP!

Ye Xiu’s slap cut him off mid-sentence. ”If you’re going to impersonate Huang Quan, at least commit to the role. You drone on and on just to kill one person. Even an idiot can see you’re a fake.”

His words sent a shockwave through the room.

This Huang Quan... is a fake?

Qin Qing narrowed her eyes. Now she too was beginning to doubt the man before her. Though she didn’t know Huang Quan personally, she had heard countless legends about him. As the Curved Saber Butcher and the source of all evil, Huang Quan was known for killing quickly and decisively. This man, however, seemed only capable of making empty threats.

”Wh-what nonsense are you spouting?” the fake Huang Quan stammered, trying to mask his fear with anger. ”Tell me, who in the world today would dare to impersonate Huang Quan?”

This question resonated with everyone present. It was true. No one in the world would dare to impersonate Huang Quan, unless they were sick of living.

”Is that so?” Ye Xiu sneered. He picked up a wine glass from the table. CRUNCH! The glass shattered in his hand, turning into fine powder. Moreover, the powder didn’t scatter and fall; instead, it formed into a small orb that spun in his palm.

”Admit you’re a fake, or I’ll twist your head off. You choose,” Ye Xiu said coldly. His Killing Intent, like that of a Primordial Beast, locked onto the imposter, yet no one else could feel it.

”You... you, you, you...”

The fake Huang Quan was scared witless. The moment Ye Xiu had crushed the glass, he knew he was no match. Now, seeing Ye Xiu control the glass powder and release such terrifying Killing Intent, he felt as if he were facing the real Huang Quan.

”Mr. Huang Quan, are you still not going to do anything?” Ming Yue ran over to incite him. ”He ambushed you, humiliated you, and even slapped you in public! Can you really swallow that insult? Because I certainly can’t.”

The fake Huang Quan glared at Ming Yue. You bitch, shut your mouth! Can’t you see I’ve already pissed myself in fear?

”I’m counting to three. If you don’t admit it by then, I’m making my move,” Ye Xiu delivered his ultimatum and began to count. ”One...”

THUD!

The fake Huang Quan collapsed to his knees. ”I’m a fake! I’m a fake! Spare me, please don’t kill me...”
