Qi Dengxian stood before Kang Xuequan, yet Kang Xuequan showed absolutely no fear.
Standing beside him was the Kang family’s Deputy Butler, Kang Xiangrong. With this Deputy Butler present, no matter how high the opponent’s martial force was, they were nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs in his eyes.
Qi Dengxian looked at Kang Xuequan and said, “I will give you a chance now too. Otherwise, I won’t care if you are a young master of the Kang family or not.”
“Strip all your clothes off yourself. Then crawl around the Qiao family mansion three times like a dog and apologize obediently to the Qiao family.”
“Also, this Deputy Butler. I don’t like him. Have him break his own hands.”
“If you do this, I can let you leave the Qiao family unharmed!”
The moment Qi Dengxian said this, the scene fell into dead silence.
The Qiao family members were dumbfounded. Did Qi Dengxian really have a mental breakdown? Even at a time like this, he dared to say such things.
He wanted Kang Xuequan to strip and crawl like a dog three times? He wanted a figure like Kang Xiangrong to break his own hands? Who did he think he was? The head of state?
Hey, wake up! You are just a small prison guard!
Kang Xuequan’s followers were stunned for a moment before they all burst into laughter.
“Qi Dengxian, do you really still think you are that Eldest Young Master of the Qi family from back then?”
“You are nothing but a bullshit prison guard, yet you dare speak to Young Master Kang like this? You even dare to tell the Deputy Butler to break his own hands?”
“There really are all kinds of birds in the forest these days. I never expected this guy to be such a lunatic.”
Kang Xuequan and Kang Xiangrong exchanged a look, and then both couldn’t help but laugh loudly.
Kang Xuequan looked at Qi Dengxian coldly. “You might have some skill, but that little bit of skill is nothing in front of the Deputy Butler!”
“I drugged your wife to sleep with her. That is her honor. You should not have come out to stop it.”
Qi Dengxian said calmly, “We have held two pieces of trash in our prison who used underhanded means on women. Their lives were very miserable.”
Kang Xuequan sneered. “I making your wife sleep with me, making her strip naked and crawl over to please me; that is the natural order of things!”
“I am from the Kang family. My words are reason. My words are the law!”
“If you are unconvinced and want to fight back, then you are knowingly breaking the law!”
“Whatever I want to do to you, you must endure it peacefully and accept it obediently. It is best not to fight back.”
“Because if you resist, even if you aren’t beaten to death by the Deputy Butler, you will rot in prison.”
As he spoke, Kang Xiangrong smiled at Qiao Qiumeng and said, “Why haven’t you stripped yet? Are you waiting for my order to exterminate your entire Qiao family?!”
Qi Dengxian nodded very seriously and said, “I have confirmed it. You are indeed seeking death!”
“Even if I am seeking death, the King of Hell wouldn’t dare to take me! The Deputy Butler is here. Do you dare touch me? If you touch a single hair on my head, I will make a member of the Qiao family die right in front of you!” Kang Xuequan said with a hideous grin.
However, at that very moment, Qi Dengxian suddenly made his move. He grabbed Kang Xuequan by the throat. His large hand was like an iron pincer; with just a slight amount of force, he could kill Kang Xuequan on the spot.
Kang Xiangrong was startled. He hadn’t expected Qi Dengxian to actually be so audacious as to attack Kang Xuequan right in front of him.
“Stop! If you dare touch the Third Young Master, I will immediately make blood flow like a river in the Qiao family! Likewise, I will take your cheap life!” Kang Xiangrong shouted angrily, killing intent flickering in his eyes.
The Qiao family members were nearly scared into fainting. They all shouted at Qi Dengxian to release Kang Xuequan immediately.
Qiao Qiumeng said through tears, “Qi Dengxian, let Young Master Kang go quickly! I will do whatever he says…”
She knew that even if she did it, she would have no face to see anyone in the future. However, the urgent priority now was to save her family’s lives.
After doing such a shameful thing, she could just end her life to be done with it. Who asked her to be stuck with a husband like Qi Dengxian?
However, Qi Dengxian paid no attention to Qiao Qiumeng’s words.
“Is that so? I want to see what you can do if I touch him!” Qi Dengxian’s face was full of indifference. He raised his hand and delivered a massive slap to Kang Xuequan’s face.
Pa!
The crisp sound of this slap was no less than a clap of shocking thunder on a clear day!
“Bastard! Let go of Young Master Kang immediately! Otherwise, not only will the Qiao family be buried with you, but all your friends and relatives will die too!”
“You lowly ant! You dare use force on a noble like Young Master Kang? Even if the King of Heaven came, he couldn’t save you!”
“If you dare touch Young Master Kang again, I’ll fight you to the death!”
Qi Dengxian looked at these followers with utter disdain. He reached out and delivered another massive slap to Kang Xuequan’s face.
Then, he looked at these followers and Kang Xiangrong with an arrogant and bored expression, asking, “Does this count as touching him?”
Kang Xiangrong’s face darkened. His feet shifted slightly, making a rustling sound against the ground. He was ready to strike at any moment to kill Qi Dengxian with a single blow.
“Didn’t you say there would be consequences if I touched him? Why am I still perfectly fine?” Qi Dengxian asked.
Seeing that everyone was paralyzed by shock, he raised his knee and drove it hard into Kang Xuequan’s belly.
“Urgh!”
Kang Xuequan let out a miserable scream. Blood spewed from his mouth instantly. His intestines felt like they were being twisted together, and his face turned purple with agony.
Qi Dengxian asked thoughtfully, “Does this count as touching your Young Master Kang?!”
Pa!
Qi Dengxian raised his hand and slapped Kang Xuequan’s face again, saying coldly, “Drug my wife?”
Pa!
Another slap landed. “Want the Qiao family to be buried with you?”
Pa!
Qi Dengxian’s face was full of disdain. “I dare not touch you?!”
Pa!
“Bullying my wife is giving her face? You want me to endure it?”
Pa!
“You dare bully the woman I can’t even bear to scold harshly?!”
After a series of slaps, Kang Xuequan’s entire face was swollen and covered in blood.
Kang Xiangrong’s eyes turned red at the sight. Kang Xuequan remained tough, gritting his teeth as he said, “If you have the guts, kill me today! If you don’t kill me, I will definitely watch your whole family die with my own eyes.”
Kang Xiangrong roared, “If you are a man, let go of the Third Young Master! Otherwise…”
“Otherwise, what? What can you do to me?” Qi Dengxian looked disdainful. “Fine, I’ll give you a chance!”
After saying this, he casually tossed Kang Xuequan aside with a thud.
The Qiao family members had already lowered their bodies, trembling all over. They didn’t even dare to look up at the current situation.
“Deputy Butler, don’t kill him. Capture him and break his limbs. I want to send him on his way personally!” Kang Xuequan screamed in agony, the hatred in his heart boiling to the extreme.
Kang Xiangrong let out a heavy, cold snort from his nose. His feet moved; he was ready to exert his power.
Qi Dengxian stood with one hand in his pocket and the other hanging by his side, looking at Kang Xiangrong indifferently.
“Qi probably knows he can’t escape death, so he held Young Master Kang hostage just now. But there is something wrong with his brain; he actually let Young Master Kang go. Now he is dead for sure!”
“Deputy Butler Kang Xiangrong is the Kang family’s ultimate weapon. He has rarely appeared in the world these past few years…”
“That’s right. The Deputy Butler is truly enraged this time. This guy will likely be taken down very quickly and have his limbs twisted off. Then we can all help Young Master Kang vent his anger and send him on his way!”
“Sell all the Qiao men to Nanyang as slaves and let them be tortured to death. Keep the women; we’ll divide the pretty ones, and sell the ugly ones to Nanyang!”
