Wang Chao stared unwaveringly at Lafayette.
His eyes were sharp like knives, exuding a chilling aura.
While his words seemed like a question, they were actually a threat.
As he spoke, a wave of murderous intent enveloped Lafayette like a raging storm.
Lafayette met Wang Chao's gaze, his expression ugly, his fists clenched, filled with frustration.
He had guarded Canton for so many years, always being the one to threaten others. And now, he was being threatened by this overlord?
Humiliation!
It was blatant humiliation!
He wanted to unleash his anger, to directly engage in a fight with Wang Chao, no matter the consequences.
But he couldn't!
From Wang Chao's eyes, he saw the intent to kill.
If he disagreed, Wang Chao might take action and unleash a bloodbath!
Moreover, the terrifying aura emanating from Wang Chao was too dreadful. Even someone as strong as a seven-star warrior like him felt a surge of fear, making him hesitate to act rashly.
Witnessing this scene, Zhao Donghe, Zhao Shanhe, and others were once again astonished.
Wang Chao had actually subdued Lafayette?
It was simply unbelievable!
Ignoring the others, Wang Chao kept his gaze fixed on Lafayette. "Silence means you disagree?"
Lafayette tightened his fist, gritted his teeth, and finally compromised. "You're right, I agree."
"Lafayette, you can't do this. I am your man. If I kneel publicly for a day and a night, it's not just my loss of face, but also a severe blow to your dignity," Cui Hong hurriedly interjected.
"Nonsense!" Wang Chao's eyes turned icy, and he stretched out his hand.
In an instant, a chopstick flew through the air like lightning, piercing through Cui Hong's cheek.
"Ow, ow, ow~" Cui Hong's expression twisted in agony.
He wanted to scream out loudly, but with the chopstick impaling his cheek, opening his mouth would tear through both sides of his face, causing searing pain that prevented him from screaming.
Seeing this scene, Lafayette and everyone present once again showed expressions of shock.
Telekinesis!
Devastating power!
With this move, Wang Chao once again revealed his terrifying capabilities to everyone present.
This was the skill of a seven-star warrior, and judging by Wang Chao's casual and composed demeanor, it was highly likely that his strength surpassed that of a seven-star warrior.
"Lafayette, it was Cui Hong's fault. He only severed a hand and an ear, which is nothing compared to the suffering my two brothers have endured. Do you agree with my viewpoint?" Wang Chao coldly stated.
Lafayette's expression was grim, but faced with Wang Chao's words, he could only nod in agreement.
"Since Lafayette agrees, then Cui Hong must pay the corresponding price."
Wang Chao's eyes turned chilling as he pointed his finger.
Two powerful sword qi surged through the air, immediately shattering Cui Hong's kneecaps.
Cui Hong fell to his knees, screaming in agony.
Standing opposite him were Pei Donghu and Song Henian.
"Apologize!" Wang Chao declared in a cold voice.
As he spoke, he radiated a terrifying aura, suppressing Cui Hong.
Cui Hong was scared out of his wits, immediately kneeling on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for forgiveness from Song Henian and Pei Donghu, "Please forgive me, both of you. I was wrong, everything is my fault. I promise I won't dare again."
"I, I won't dare anymore."
Song Henian and Pei Donghu were shocked and speechless at Cui Hong's actions.
Cui Hong, one of the Four Great Kings, who had always been superior, was actually kneeling in front of them, apologizing and begging for mercy.
Such a thing was beyond their wildest imagination.
They never thought that today it would actually happen.
Lafayette watched Cui Hong in this state, and his fat body trembled slightly, feeling even more humiliated inside.
Cui Hong was his subordinate, and Cui Hong's apology reflected poorly on him!
If this incident were to spread, his prestige would plummet, and he might not even be able to control his other subordinates in the future.
With a gloomy face, he walked over to Cui Hong.
"Lafayette, s-save, save me~" Cui Hong raised his head, looked at Lafayette with pleading eyes.
Pfft!
However, before he could finish speaking, Genius Qi coiled around Lafayette's hand, transforming into a sharp invisible blade.
The blade aura swept through, flashing by in an instant.
Cui Hong's head was instantly severed.
His eyes were wide open.
Until his death, he never expected to die like this under Lafayette's blade.
After slaying Cui Hong, Lafayette spoke coldly, "Cui Hong, for embezzling, abusing power, and encroaching on my assets for many years, you deserve to die."
Wang Chao's expression darkened.
He had sensed something was wrong when Lafayette approached Cui Hong earlier.
But Lafayette's speed was too fast, and by the time he realized Lafayette's intention, Cui Hong was already dead.
He stared at Cui Hong's body, his eyes icy, and locked his gaze onto Lafayette. "What do you mean?"
In this negotiation, his main intention was to deal with Cui Hong, to force him to kneel and apologize in Song Henian and Pei Donghu's village, to restore their dignity.
But now Lafayette had killed Cui Hong!
This meant that he could no longer take advantage of the situation, and this matter had to come to an end.
The humiliation and reputation damage suffered by Song Henian and Pei Donghu in the village would never be recovered.
Lafayette's move was too ruthless!
Lafayette glanced at Wang Chao, but instead of speaking to him, he turned around to face Pei Donghu and Song Henian. He said, "I don't know what Cui Hong did to both of you, but today Cui Hong is dead."
"I apologize on his behalf and I kindly request that you both don't hold this against him anymore, alright?"
After speaking, he nodded slightly towards Pei Donghu and Song Henian.
"Alright, alright."
"We won't pursue it anymore."
Pei Donghu and Song Henian did not dare to oppose Lafayette. Seeing Lafayette bowing and apologizing to them, they're shocked and felt as if they were dreaming. They quickly spoke up, saying they would not pursue the matter any further.
Lafayette smiled faintly at this scene, then turned to Wang Chao and said, "Mr. Wang, Cui Hong has paid the appropriate price."
"You see, can we consider this matter resolved now?"
He was still a bit afraid!
If Wang Chao had truly forced Cui Hong to kneel in the village and the incident had been widely publicized, Lafayette's reputation would have been completely ruined, becoming the laughingstock of Canton City.
Therefore, slaying Cui Hong, minimizing all losses, and completely ending all conflicts here was the best solution!
Wang Chao's gaze turned cold as he said, "There's still Zhang Long's injury, you must apologize."
Lafayette turned to Zhang Long and said, "Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Long quickly stood up and said, "It's not necessary, Lafayette and I were just sparring. I'm inferior in skill, it's fine, it's fine."
Although Wang Chao was strong and could overpower Lafayette, if Lafayette were to lose his temper, the Shen family would not be able to withstand it.
Zhang Long only suffered minor injuries, so he did not dare to oppose Lafayette.
Upon hearing this, Lafayette once again revealed his signature Maitreya Buddha-like smile and uttered to Wang Chao, "Mr. Wang, Cui Hong is dead, and your two brothers have vented their anger. This matter is considered concluded."
"I admire you. With your abilities, being the head of the security team in Danfeng Group is truly a waste of talent."
"Here's what I propose: I'll keep Cui Hong's position for you, not only in the underground bank but also as the vice president under me, a position that surpasses ten thousand others in the company."
"Whenever you are willing, you can come and work for me."
"I guarantee that you will enjoy the highest level of treatment! I'll also split all the assets I own with you, fifty-fifty!"
A gasp swept through the crowd as they're all stunned by these words. Lafayette's assets were calculated in hundreds of billions. Splitting them in half would be an enormous fortune that could rival a country.
