Scrape! Scrape!
Chastised by the man in ck, Jiang Zhongmou reeled as if struck by thunder, stumbling tworge steps backward with a face pale as paper and copious cold sweat beading his forehead.
It was no wonder, for the man standing before him was Emperor Tang, the supreme ruler of Heavenly Abode Country.
The man in ck berated him again, "Six years ago, when the border was attacked by the Six Nations, the entire region was plunged into untold suffering, countless warriors perished in foreignnds, and city after city fell!"
"Had God Ye not emerged to turn the tides, the Heavenly Abode Country might no longer exist, let alone your position as the Warzone Grand Commander of the Central ins! Even I must show God Ye due respect, yet you dared to dismiss him!"
"Jiang Zhongmou, what a bold move you''ve made!"
At these words, Jiang Zhongmou staggered two morerge steps back, gasping for air, his face nowpletely drained of color.
"Your... Your Majesty!"
Jiang Zhongmou was so flustered by the man in ck''s reprimand that he could hardly speak.
The man in ck snorted coldly, "No more words! You have abused your power and vited thew; I hereby announce your removal from the position of Warzone Grand Commander of the Central ins!"
"Bring me Jiang Zhongmou immediately!"
No sooner had he finished speaking, several soldiers by the man in ck''s side swiftly lunged toward Jiang Zhongmou.
"Commander Jiang!"
Seeing Jiang Zhongmou about to be apprehended, his closest followers all panicked.
With a stern look, the man in ckmanded, "What? Do you few also intend to protect Jiang Zhongmou?"
"Not...not at all!"
Feeling the piercing stare of the man in ck, the close followers, like frightened birds, instantly bowed their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Take him!" the man in ck ordered again.
The soldiers swiftly moved forward to arrest Jiang Zhongmou, mping cold handcuffs around his wrists.
"Third Master!"
"Third Master!!!"
Upon witnessing Jiang Zhongmou''s arrest, members of the Jiang Family''s Legitimate Line couldn''t help but cry out.
In their hearts, Jiang Zhongmou was a towering tree sheltering the Jiang Family; now with him facing arrest right before their eyes, they were utterly unable to remain calm.
"It''s all over! It''s all over!"
Jiang Zhongmou was in a daze,pletelycking the courage to resist in front of the man in ck.
Because he knew that any resistance on his part would only bring harsher consequences and could lead the great Jiang Family to its end because of him.
The man in ck nced at the members of the Jiang Family''s Legitimate Line: "Do you also wish to attempt a rescue for Jiang Zhongmou?"
"The Central ins Jiang Family has been tyrannically overbearing,mitting heinous crimes. Bring me these people of the Jiang Family as well!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Wu responded.
The next second, Lin Wu waved his hand, and three thousand Red me Army soldiers quickly advanced.
With Jiang Zhongmou, the Jiang Family''s greatest protector, finished, let alone the rest of the Jiang Family People; under Lin Wu''s leadership, members of the Jiang Family''s Legitimate Line dared not resist and were swiftly subdued.
"Jiang Hong, it''s time for us to settle the score!"
Ye Fan, filled with rage, fixed his gaze on Jiang Hong, the patriarch of the Jiang Family.
Targeted by Ye Fan, Jiang Hong''s soul trembled in fear. Reaching around his waist, he unexpectedly pulled out a Desert Eagle.
Drawing the Desert Eagle, Jiang Hong pulled the trigger, and with two bangs, two Red me Army soldiers moving to arrest him dropped to the ground.
"You scoundrels!"
No one had anticipated that Jiang Hong would dare to resist.
After taking down two Red me Army soldiers, Jiang Hong panicked and dashed toward a room where the Jiang Family stayed.
With a frown, the man in ck ordered, "Apprehend him!"
At hismand, a swarm of soldiers charged into the room Jiang Hong had entered.
"Stop, everyone stop!"
"Back off, all of you back off, if anyone dares to take one more step forward, do you believe I will blow her head off right now?"
Just as a group of people was about to rush into the room, Jiang Hong suddenly walked out. He held a little girl in his left arm and a Desert Eagle in his right hand, with the cold barrel of the gun pointed directly at the girl''s head.
"Ling''er!"
Seeing the little girl in Jiang Hong''s arms, Su Ruoxue cried out in rm.
Overwhelmed by shock, Su Ruoxue''s vision darkened, and she fainted on the spot.
The little girl held hostage by Jiang Hong was none other than Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue''s daughter, Ye Ling''er. Her face was as pale as paper, her lips white, and she was in a deepa, with her vital signs slipping away.
"Ruoxue!"
Seeing this, Ye Fan''s face changed dramatically, and he quickly helped Su Ruoxue up from the ground.
"Stop!"
The man in ck, seeing the little girl who looked like a carbon copy of Ye Fan, shouted urgently.
At that moment, Jiang Hong, holding the little girl, said fiercely, "Everyone back off, put down your weapons, and if anyone dares not to do as I say, I will kill her immediately!"
"Everyone, fall back and put down your weapons, as he says!" The man in ck ordered without hesitation, struggling to suppress his anger.
He could tell at a nce that the little girl held by Jiang Hong was Ye Fan''s daughter.
To protect Ye Ling''er, he had no choice but toply with Jiang Hong''s demands.
"Ah!!!!"
"Jiang Hong, you old dog, I will tear you to pieces!"
After handing Su Ruoxue over to Lin Wu, Ye Fan glowered at Jiang Hong, who was holding Ye Ling''er hostage, his rage reaching its boiling point.
Especially seeing his daughter nearly lose all signs of life, Ye Fan''s eyes were nearly splitting, his heart bleeding with every beat.
Hearing Ye Fan''s roar, Jiang Hong sneered fearlessly, "Ye Fan, your daughter is in my hands, and you still dare to shout at me?"
"Let me tell you,pared to your daughter, my life is worthless. Even if I die in the end, I will have someone cushion my fall!"
At this time, Jiang Hong had decided to go for broke. Since there was no way to end this amicably, he would fight to the death.
"Bastard!!!"
Seeing Jiang Hong taking his daughter hostage and acting so arrogantly, Ye Fan''s eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.
The man in ck said with a dark face, "Jiang Hong, release God Ye''s daughter, and I assure you of your safety!"
"Assure my safety? Humph! Do you think I''m a three-year-old child?"
"Ye Fan and I have an irreconcble feud. As soon as I release this wretch, I''ll probably be dead the next moment!"
Jiang Hong said with a mocking face, then continued, "If you don''t want to watch this wretch die before your eyes, immediately release my third brother and let go of the Jiang Family people!"
"And arrange a private ne for my departure. As long as we are safe enough, I promise this wretch won''t die. If you don''t agree, I''ll kill her right now!"
Jiang Hong''s face was as ferocious as a demon, and it seemed that if his demands weren''t met, he would immediately pull the trigger and send Ye Ling''er to Western Heaven.
"Fine! I agree, release them!"
The man in ck spoke decisively, and Jiang Zhongmou along with a bunch of legitimate line members of the Jiang Family were immediately released.
Jiang Hong yelled at Jiang Zhongmou, "Third brother, hurry and get on the ne, we''re leaving the Central ins right away!"
"Big brother, have you lost your mind?"
Jiang Zhongmou was in deep despair, knowing all too well that with Jiang Hong''s actions, the entire Jiang Family was doomed.
Jiang Hong barked, "No more nonsense, get on the ne!"
The legitimate line members of the Jiang Family dared not hesitate, and under Jiang Hong''s lead, they quickly boarded the warne.
Standing at the door of the cabin, Jiang Hong looked at Ye Fan with hate and said, "Ye Fan, didn''t expect this, did you? I still had a trick up my sleeve!"
"Your daughter is in my hands, and if you make any rash move, I will finish off this wretch! Does it make you angry?"
"I just love to see you wanting to kill me but unable to do so! If you''ve got the guts, just try to kill me, hahaha...."
