Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Compensate with All Your Possessions _1
The situation escalated, and in no time, everyone who was attending the birthday banquet gathered around, fixing their gaze on Ye Ming’s face.
Director Zhang’s methods were known to be swift and fierce, and the crowd looked at Ye Ming with mocking eyes, knowing that his downfall was imminent.
Director Zhang Lijun cleared his throat and said loudly, "You have tarnished the reputations of my two daughters and, moreover, the honor of our Zhang Family. Therefore, you must apologize publicly!"
"As for compensation, I see you don’t have much money, kid. So let’s go with all your wealth—whatever you have to compensate with, you’ll compensate with!"
At these words, many people immediately started to jeer.
"Director Zhang, you’re absolutely right. This kid is arrogant and caused a scene at the Zhang Family’s birthday banquet. He should pay the price!"
"Director Zhang, I think he should kneel down and apologize sincerely."
"Yes, from the moment he entered, he was spouting nonsense, showing no respect for the Zhang Family. He must kneel, and he owes us an apology too, for ruining our good mood, and he needs to pay for that!"
"Not only should he apologize, but he should also be taken away. Such a madman should not be allowed outside, where he can disrupt other people’s lives."
Hearing the crowd’s discussion and Director Zhang Lijun’s words, Ye Ming sneered inside.
He turned his gaze to the faces of the sisters Zhang Ruoxue and Zhang Ruoyu.
Zhang Ruoyu was fully supportive of her father, applauding and cheering, while Zhang Ruoxue merely lowered her head, remaining silent with a wandering gaze, as if she didn’t take the matter seriously at all.
Their faces filled Ye Ming with disgust.
Since that was the case, he no longer wanted to waste time or his sincerity.
The moment to break off relations was now.
He sneered and said, "You’ve laid out your demands. Now please listen to mine."
"As for the engagement contract, since you do not acknowledge it, I will find someone to prove it for me. I, Ye Ming, will cancel my engagement with your Zhang Family’s Zhang Ruoxue. From now on, our paths shall not cross again, and there will be no going back!"
"As for the money, it’s no longer just a matter of one billion. You’ve owed me for so long, and your attitude has been extremely hostile. Thus, it’s only fair that I charge you a little extra interest. Let’s make it ten billion!"
"I’ll give you three days. If I don’t receive the ten billion by then, I’ll make you pay!"
Ye Ming’s words left the crowd stunned.
In all of Magic Capital, who dared speak such threats to the Zhang Family? Not many could spare the lives to do so.
Without needing a word from Director Zhang Lijun, the dozen elite bodyguards could no longer stand by. They began to encircle Ye Ming, intending to crush him.
The crowd prepared themselves to witness a spectacular event.
It was said that the Zhang Family’s bodyguards were all special forces soldiers who had retired from the Martial Department, each one possessing unique skills and outstanding abilities. Someone with Ye Ming’s slight frame wouldn’t stand a chance.
Director Zhang Lijun’s voice drifted over, "Daring to act recklessly on our Zhang Family’s turf, clearly not putting us Zhang Family in your eyes. If we let you leave alive today, where would we put our Zhang Family’s face in the future?"
"Get him, kill him!"
At the order, several bodyguards responded in unison and then launched their attack on Ye Ming.
The moment they struck, Ye Ming saw they were genuine practitioners.
Their angles of attack were extremely tricky, and they were all lethal moves.
Ye Ming was instantly enraged, "You lot are not even fit to stop me!"
"Get lost!"
No sooner had he spoken than his figure flashed instantaneously, entering the crowd, and he threw a punch.
The person struck by the punch immediately let out a wail of agony, collapsing to the ground and writhing in pain, utterly deprived of the ability to fight.
The remaining few met the same fate at the hands of Ye Ming; he laid them out with a single move each.
In the blink of an eye, all the bodyguards went down, their cries of misery unceasingly piercing the air.
Zhang Lijun’s face turned ashen, he cursed, "Trash, what’s the point of feeding you if this is all you can do?"
"Ten of you can’t even handle one person, absolute rubbish! Call all the bodyguards to me immediately!"
Seeing the situation spiral out of control, the surrounding spectators grew restless, standing up one after another to start accusing Ye Ming.
"Kid, you dare to be so rampant, you have no idea the severity of your actions!"
"Today you dare to assault someone here, tomorrow, I will see to it that you are brought to justice and rot in jail!"
A young man in a suit and leather shoes, looking rather dapper, stood out, intending to display his ability.
However, Ye Ming didn’t even spare him a second glance, simply uttering the word "Scram," which sent him shivering back into the crowd.
There was nothing to be done; Ye Ming’s martial skills had left too many dumbstruck. Most of those present were pampered and wealthy, lacking any real fighting ability. Seeing Ye Ming’s eyes blood-red with battle frenzy, who would dare to intervene? At best, they could only verbally chastise him.
While this was happening, Ye Ming spotted another dozen or so robust bodyguards coming from behind the mansion.
They were already armed and began to encircle Ye Ming.
But to Ye Ming, they were still too weak.
If Earth Rank Experts couldn’t stand against him, what were these bodyguards? Not even enough to pick his teeth with.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, bodyguards were strewn around Ye Ming, their screams uninterrupted.
Zhang Lijun involuntarily took a step back; fear was apparent in his eyes.
These were all his bodyguards, and he had no more forces left to stand against Ye Ming.
Ye Ming asked indifferently, "Do you have any other moves?"
"If not, then I’m leaving."
Zhang Ruoxue and her sister, hiding behind the crowd, had seen their faces change repeatedly after witnessing Ye Ming’s actions.
Especially Zhang Ruoxue, who, recalling the day in the cave when Ye Ming killed a bear with his bare hands, still felt a lingering fear.
If the bear’s combat power was no match for Ye Ming, what chance did these ordinary people have?
Meanwhile, Zhang Lijun’s face had turned steel-grey, and he began to waver internally, regretting the decision he had just made.
He knew Ye Ming was right; he hadn’t lied.
Both the marriage contract and the IOU were real.
The marriage contract had personally been arranged by Elder Zhang. Zhang Lijun had originally planned to gloss over it while the old man was unconscious, considering the match inappropriate. After all, how could Ye Ming, a mere commoner, be worthy of his precious daughter?
As for the IOU, he thought, what of it if he didn’t pay it to such an ordinary man like Ye Ming?
If he was willing to disregard the marriage contract, what’s one more IOU?
But what he didn’t understand was that Ye Ming was far from ordinary. Just by witnessing those few moves Ye Ming had made, how could they be actions of a common man?
However, no matter how much he regretted it, the deed was done, and Zhang Lijun’s remorse was futile; he had no choice but to call for more capable help.
"Summon the two elders!"
