Chapter 52: The Mysterious Woman

Upon hearing Xu Di's words, the members of the Qian Family were all incomparably shocked, because they all knew what it meant to punch a Seventh Grade Martial Artist to death.

Furthermore, these words were spoken by Xu Di, who was at the Eighth Grade realm; not a single person dared not to believe it!

"Could the other party be a big shot from Jinling or Beijing? And how did Xu Songbai and his son provoke such a big shot?"

Qian Xiaosen's tone softened slightly as he asked, "Retainer Xu, do you know the other party's identity?"

Xu Di shook his head: "I do not know the other party's identity, but Shen Qi of the Qibao Association respectfully addresses that person as Master. Moreover, that person, right before my eyes, turned Shen Qi from an ordinary person into a Martial Artist in an instant. My Seventh Grade brother was also punched to death by Shen Qi."

The Qian Family members all wore stunned expressions, unable to process this explosive amount of information for a moment.

However,

Xu Di's words were not even enough to describe one-tenth of the shock Chen Che had brought him, and the Qian Family members could not fathom Xu Di's terror and awe at all.

Xu Di cupped his hands and said to the Qian Family members who had not yet recovered their senses: "Patriarch Qian, I have returned not only to bring back the Second Young Lady, but also to convey two things to everyone."

"Before that, I have something to notify you of: I, Xu Di, and my three remaining brothers have all joined the Qibao Association—or to be precise, the command of that great person—"

"You bastard, so it was you who betrayed us, which led to my daughter's death! I was wondering how you could be unscathed while my daughter ended up in this state!"

Qian Xiuxiu's father, Qian Xiaobo, flew into a rage upon hearing Xu Di's words, his face twisted as if he wanted to tear Xu Di apart alive.

"Second brother, listen to Retainer Xu finish what he has to say!"

The Qian Family Patriarch, Qian Jingzhong, barked a reprimand.

Xu Di ignored Qian Xiaobo and continued: "My Master asked me to bring a message to you all. Three days from now, he will come to the Qian Family. By then, you need to be prepared for two things: first, merge into the Qibao Association; second, be prepared to account for everything related to the Martial Arts Alliance."

Qian Jingzhong's expression froze, his graying eyebrows twitched violently, and he suddenly realized the truth.

No wonder such a big shot would go to trouble Xu Songbai and his son; it turned out he was targeting the Martial Arts Alliance!

Back when the Jinhai Group chairman Chen Xin met with an accident, the Martial Arts Alliance was involved, and since Xu Songbai had been in contact with people from the Martial Arts Alliance back then, it was no surprise that the investigation led to him.

"I have delivered the message, so I shall take my leave."

Xu Di turned to leave, but stopped at the doorway to warn them: "For the sake of our past ties, I advise you all. It is true that the Qian Family is powerful in Shanghai, but the extent of that person's power is beyond your imagination, so do not have any other ideas; honestly prepare for the things my Master has ordered."

"Your Master? Good, I never thought that an Eighth Grade expert like you would end up being someone's dog! My Qian Family truly was blind to spend so much manpower and resources supporting you! To think we raised a white-eyed wolf!"

Qian Xiaobo roared at Xu Di with a face full of fury; if not for Qian Xiaosen holding him back, he would have ordered the Qian Family's Martial Artists to surround and kill Xu Di.

Xu Di sneered disdainfully: "I have already warned you; my ties with the Qian Family end here. If you remain obsessed and insist on defying my Master's will, then when I return in three days, it will be to witness the destruction of the Qian Family."

Xu Di's figure disappeared at the doorway.

"My daughter..."

Qian Xiaobo shook off Qian Xiaosen's hand and began to cry sorrowfully again while holding Qian Xiuxiu.

Qian Xiaosen and his third brother, Qian Xiaolin, exchanged a glance, looked at each other, and then looked together at the Patriarch, Qian Jingzhong.

Qian Jingzhong's expression was grave; supported by his grandson Qian Yuanchang, he stepped back to his chair and sat down slowly.

"Dad, Xu Di has always been proud and arrogant, yet this time he called that person Master; presumably, what he said cannot be false."

Qian Xiaosen's brows were locked tight, his expression ugly, "What should we do?"

After a long while, Qian Jingzhong let out a breath and said: "That big shot's goal is not Xu Songbai and his son, nor is it the Qian Family, but the Martial Arts Alliance."

"But if we do as that person says, merge the Qian Family into the Qibao Association, and reveal everything about the Martial Arts Alliance, the Martial Arts Alliance will certainly not let the Qian Family off!"

Qian Xiaosen said worriedly.

Qian Xiaolin sighed and said: "But if we don't do as that big shot says, that big shot won't let the Qian Family off either. If that really happens, would the Martial Arts Alliance care about our lives?"

"So, Third Brother, are you saying the Qian Family should join the Qibao Association?"

Qian Xiaobo wiped the tears from his face; the pain of losing his daughter filled him with towering rage, and he only thought of vengeance, not caring at all about how the Qian Family chose.

"What is the Qibao Association? And what is Shen Qi? No matter how big he gets, can he compare to the Qian Family? I cannot afford to lose face like that! Besides, that bastard behind Shen Qi killed my daughter, and I want to make him pay with his life!"

"Second Uncle, Xu Di said it himself: that person can turn an ordinary person like Shen Qi into a Martial Artist even more powerful than a Seventh Grade Martial Artist. The strongest Martial Artist in our Qian Family is only Eighth Grade, and now that Xu Di and the others have also joined that person's command, it is simply impossible to kill him."

The one speaking was Qian Xiaosen's daughter, Qian Rongrong. She was twenty-six years old today and was the eldest daughter of the Qian Family's younger generation.

"What is impossible?! Xu Di has already betrayed us, how can his words be trusted! Even if what he said is true, if the Qian Family has no one, then we can go outside and find someone!"

Qian Xiaobo roared, "Go to Jinling, go to Beijing, or go overseas to find them! In any case, I want to kill him to avenge my daughter, no matter who he is or what big shot he is!"

Seeing Qian Xiaobo's volatile emotions, the words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back—I think that if we want to preserve the Qian Family, we should obey that big shot's words.

No one knows a daughter better than her father; Qian Xiaosen sensed his daughter's hesitation, guessed her thoughts, and he felt the same way.

Since the Qian Family was destined to choose a faction to take shelter under, choosing that powerful and mysterious big shot was better than choosing an organization filled with evil.

"There is no need to go that far; here in Shanghai, there is someone who can kill him."

At this moment, a cold female voice came, and the Qian Family members were startled, looking up abruptly to find that, at some point, a slim woman had appeared in the room.

The woman was wearing black sportswear and had her face covered, revealing only a pair of sharp and beautiful eyes.

"Who is it that dares to break into the Qian Family at night?!"

Qian Xiaosen shouted: "Someone, come!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The Martial Artists supported by the Qian Family appeared in the hall like lightning, surrounding the woman.

"Hehe..."

The woman let out a delicate laugh, but suddenly released a massive amount of True Qi from her body, blowing over the circle of surrounding Martial Artists.

The Qian Family members were dumbfounded once again!

So powerful!

Qian Yuanchang stared at the woman without blinking, sniffed hard, and nodded: "Mm, so big!"

"All of you, withdraw!"

Qian Jingzhong shouted angrily, and the Qian Family's Martial Artists all left.

Qian Jingzhong pushed away his grandson Qian Yuanchang, who was trying to support him, stumbled to the woman, bowed, and saluted: "The juniors are ignorant of etiquette and have offended you, Great One; please do not take offense!"

Qian Xiaosen and the others were shocked again, and before they could react, they heard the masked woman say again: "That person is no big shot, just a stray dog."

A gleam of excitement flashed in the woman's eyes: "I represent the Martial Arts Alliance, here to help the Qian Family... kill someone."
