Long Wu, however, narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up Qin Tuo.

”What a brazen kid...”

Apparently, Qin Tuo’s audacity was beyond his expectations.

He actually dared to speak up and refute a decision made by the three bosses!

Chen Wenxiong, on the other hand, had a look of shame on his face and couldn’t say a word.

Zhao Tiancheng sneered.

”What good does your objection do, kid? Are you even qualified to voice an opinion in a situation like this?”

Qin Tuo let out an incredulous laugh.

”They’re my legs. Why shouldn’t I get a say?”

With that one sentence, Zhao Tiancheng was left speechless.

He flew into a rage out of shame and frustration, sputtering,

”Kid, your hands are tied! You can’t even move! You’re completely at our mercy, so what gives you the right to talk so tough!”

As he spoke, he sneered endlessly, looking at Qin Tuo like a fish on a cutting board, ready to be carved up.

”Oh, is that so? Are you sure?”

A strange smile appeared on Qin Tuo’s face.

Seeing that smile, a sudden, inexplicable feeling of unease rose in Zhao Tiancheng’s heart!

Just as everyone was frowning, Qin Tuo suddenly gave a slight smile.

The next moment, he flexed the muscles in his arms!

SNAP...

The incredibly tough ropes were snapped apart by sheer force.

What!

Everyone in the ancestral hall was stunned!

The leader of the men in black standing nearby felt his eyelids twitch violently.

’They had clearly used the strongest cow-tendon ropes, yet he’d snapped them in an instant. This kid is a monster!’

At this thought, he quickly drew a pistol and aimed it at Qin Tuo.

”Kid, what are you doing? Don’t try anything stupid!”

But who would have known that Qin Tuo was even faster!

In the instant the leader of the men in black drew his gun and aimed, a hand shot out.

SWISH!

The movement was so fast that he snatched the gun right out of the man’s hand.

The man in black was left empty-handed, unable to even process what had happened.

A sharp glint appeared in Qin Tuo’s eyes as he aimed the pistol at Long Wu, who was directly in front of him.

Long Wu’s expression froze. ’How on earth did he just do that?’

Nearby, Zhao Tiancheng and Chen Wenxiong were both terrified.

Just then, the leader of the men in black suddenly gritted his teeth and, seeing an opening, lunged at Qin Tuo!

THUMP...

However, without even looking, Qin Tuo shot out a foot in a lightning-fast kick.

”Aargh!”

The leader of the men in black was sent flying backward, crying out in pain.

THUMP THUMP THUMP!

Outside the ancestral hall, dozens of bodyguards with guns rushed in and surrounded Qin Tuo.

”Kid, drop the gun now! Don’t do anything stupid!”

The leader of the men in black shouted, enduring the intense pain.

At this moment, however, Long Wu, who was seated at the head of the hall, simply studied Qin Tuo with great interest, showing no fear at all.

Chen Wenxiong quickly waved his hands, shouting anxiously,

”Mr. Qin, please, don’t be reckless!”

If Qin Tuo’s gun went off, he was certain that no matter what, no one would be walking out of this ancestral hall today.

”Kid, why haven’t you dropped the gun yet?”

Seeing that Qin Tuo didn’t react, the leader of the men in black cursed at him again.

As he cursed, he shot a meaningful glance, and two men in black nearby quietly crept closer, aiming their guns at the back of Qin Tuo’s head.

Without even looking, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, Qin Tuo let out a cold snort.

”Believe it or not, the instant you pull the trigger, I’ll blow your boss’s brains out first!”

As his words fell, the men in black instantly froze in place, too scared to make another move.

Qin Tuo scanned the room. Despite being surrounded by so many men in black, he paid them no mind.

’I’ve been out for so long. I still haven’t bought the medicine to take back. Mom and Dad must be worried about me.’

Hearing Qin Tuo muttering to himself, Long Wu, having regained his composure, calmly took a sip of tea and sneered,

”Do you think... you’re getting out of here today?”

”Heh!”

Qin Tuo laughed, looking completely unconcerned.

”I come and go as I please. No one can make me stay.”

’Such an arrogant kid!’

The surrounding group of men in black all tightened their grips on their pistols.

If Qin Tuo dared to make a single move, they would open fire at any moment.

”Heh heh, a confident young man!”

Long Wu chuckled, still calmly sipping his tea as if everything was under his control.

Suddenly, Long Wu’s gaze unintentionally fell on the hand Qin Tuo was using to hold the gun.

A ring on his finger was emitting a dark golden glow...

’Hm? Wait, what is that!’

Long Wu’s hand, which was lifting his teacup, froze in mid-air. He stared intently for a few seconds.

The next instant, his eyelids twitched violently!

’No way, could this actually be...’

Long Wu shot to his feet, his face a mask of disbelief, and stared fixedly at Qin Tuo’s finger.

’What the hell are you up to?’

Qin Tuo was completely thrown.

He suspected this old fox Long Wu was plotting something and didn’t dare let his guard down for a second.

”Kid, I’m going to count to three! If you don’t put that gun down, I’m opening fire!”

the leader of the men in black warned gravely.

All the men in black nearby prepared to open fire.

No matter what, they had to ensure Long Wu’s safety!

’Perfect! Just kill the kid like this...’

Zhao Tiancheng was secretly overjoyed.

He’d thought they were helpless against Qin Tuo, but who knew the kid would dig his own grave by daring to point a gun at Long Wu?

Chen Wenxiong was so anxious he was stomping his feet, but there was nothing he could do.

But just then, Long Wu suddenly let out a stern shout!

”You bastards! Put your damn guns down!”

Instantly, the group of men in black shivered, terrified.

The leader of the men in black looked confused.

”Master Long, this is...”

But left with no choice, they could only obey the order, and dozens of pistols were all slowly lowered.

Now even Qin Tuo was confused. ’What on earth is this old fox up to?’

Long Wu took a deep breath and said slowly,

”Lao Liu, clear the room!”

’Oh, clear the room...’

The leader of the men in black, Lao Liu, was startled.

But he quickly understood and hurriedly waved his hand at the others to the side.

”You two, please leave for now!”

Although Chen Wenxiong and Zhao Tiancheng didn’t understand, they could see that Long Wu was not in a good mood.

So, not daring to risk his wrath, they could only obediently withdraw.

Soon, the only ones left in the ancestral hall were Long Wu, Qin Tuo, and the group of bodyguards in black.

’What kind of game is this old bastard playing?’

Qin Tuo narrowed his eyes, his vigilance rising.

He possessed formidable skills and wasn’t afraid of their physical threats. But Qin Tuo knew that the world was a treacherous place, and he had to remain constantly on guard.

And yet, in the very next moment, Long Wu placed his right hand over his chest, dropped to one knee, and looked up with an expression of utmost respect!

”This subordinate pays his respects to the Celestial King!”

SHUFFLE...

The group of bodyguards in black reacted instantly, dropping to one knee and shouting with immense respect,

”We greet the Celestial King!”

’Celestial King?’

This time, it was Qin Tuo’s turn to be dumbfounded.
