First Volume_Chapter 1146: Threatening the Qin Prince

Qin Feng never imagined anyone in Jingdu would dare extort him.

Not only was Qin Feng unfazed, even Zhao Yuxiong and Qin Xiaofu completely ignored Wang Dongjia.

Seeing Qin Feng remain silent, Wang Dongjia grew even more arrogant.

"Heh, judging by your attire, you don't look like some common small household—how could you be so clueless?"

"These days, if you want to stand up for others, first weigh your own worth, or you'll end up lifting a stone only to drop it on your own foot."

Wang Dongjia paid no mind to the man before him; after all, someone who couldn't even produce five hundred taels of silver had no background worth mentioning.

Wang Dongjia couldn't be bothered to deal with Qin Feng any longer. He turned to face the siblings before him, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes.

"You little brat, stealing from your grandfather's head? You dare not show restraint, yet you even dare to strike back—you've got the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard."

"Kill them outright!"

"Two stinking beggars—dead is dead; this master will kill them and bury them too!"

Since the master had spoken, his men naturally felt no mercy.

After all, in these times, one or two deaths were perfectly normal.

The lead brute raised his foot and stomped down toward the boy's head.

If that foot landed, death was certain!

At that critical moment, the nearly unconscious boy was seized by Zhao Yuxiong, who yanked him back by the ankle.

The brute's foot crashed down onto the exact spot where the boy's head had been—just a hair's breadth from killing the child.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaofu dragged the terrified, nearly frozen girl to his side.

Wang Dongjia, who had already turned to leave, froze in place upon seeing this.

He turned back toward Qin Feng, his eyes slowly turning vicious.

"You brat, you truly don't know the meaning of death!"

"If I weren't feeling merciful just now, I'd have already ordered you beaten until your teeth were scattered on the ground."

"Since you refuse to accept face, don't blame me for being uncivilized—beat him!"

With a single command, Wang Dongjia's men surged toward Qin Feng all at once.

The outcome was predictable: Qin Feng didn't even shift his stance, standing perfectly still with calm composure.

Zhao Yuxiong and Qin Xiaofu immediately shielded Qin Feng, engaging Wang Dongjia's servants in combat.

Judging by the servants' skill, even if they weren't Practitioners, they were certainly seasoned brawlers—striking with vicious precision, targeting Zhao Yuxiong's vital points.

As a member of a Military Clan and Commander of Black Cavalry, Zhao Yuxiong's martial skill was unquestionable.

Facing four burly men in encirclement, he moved with perfect rhythm, effortlessly evading and seizing openings—landing a punch straight into the opponent's nose.

Blood sprayed instantly!

Immediately, a desperate scream echoed across the lakeside.

Unfortunately, the scream didn't last long.

As the brute clutched his nose and howled, Zhao Yuxiong delivered two more punches—one to the chest, one to the temple.

Before the brute could fall, Zhao Yuxiong raised his right leg and drove his knee squarely into the brute's face.

Thud!

With a heavy thump, the brute collapsed backward, motionless.

The once ferocious Wang Mansion servants were all stunned into silence.

They stared at Zhao Yuxiong—expressionless, brutally efficient—and swallowed hard, their will to fight utterly shattered.

Meanwhile, one of Wang's servants hurried to check on the brute.

When his fingers touched the brute's nose, his face turned instantly pale.

"L-Lord… the Protector is dead…"

What?!

At these words, Wang Dongjia was also startled; his gaze toward Qin Feng and the others had undergone a complete transformation.

These… these people—how could they strike so brutally?

If they weren't going to act, fine—but once they did, they killed?

Watching the stunned crowd, Qin Feng couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

As Commander of Black Cavalry, Zhao Yuxiong had spent years fighting on the First Line, long ago forming the habit of "one strike, one kill."

Anyone who dared raise a hand against Zhao Yuxiong would be eliminated on the spot.

Qin Feng pulled out a five-hundred-tael Silver Note from his sleeve and casually tossed it to Wang Dongjia, his expression unchanged, as calm and detached as ever.

"You wanted five hundred taels of silver? Here it is."

"But don't misunderstand—this five hundred taels isn't for the Protector; it's purely compensation to you for these two siblings."

"Now we're even."

Just as Qin Feng turned to leave, Wang Dongjia's voice rang out behind him again.

Wang Dongjia clenched his fists, his eyes shifting from fear to rage.

"You can't leave!"

"You killed someone—and now you think you can just walk away? Dream on!"

"Even when you beat a dog, you look at the master—this is Jingdu, Tianzi Jiaoxia! I'll make you pay with your life for his!"

Facing Wang Dongjia's threat, Qin Feng sighed helplessly.

From the start, Qin Feng had never wished to shed blood in Jingdu, and he had repeatedly given the man chances.

Since this Wang man had lived long enough, Qin Feng had no objection to sending him on his way.

Qin Feng turned around, and when his gaze fell upon Wang Dongjia again, it had grown cold.

"A life for a life—that's not wrong."

"You just tried to kill these two siblings; if not for me, they'd already be dead."

"Even if I destroyed one of your Protectors, you still owe me a life."

Hearing this, Wang Dongjia froze.

Before coming to Jingdu to "build his career," he had already been renowned in the provinces, convinced he had seen countless grand scenes and powerful figures.

With his strong connections, upon arriving in Jingdu, he quickly forged ties with a Ministry of Justice Assistant Director.

With his wealth and network, even in Jingdu, he could walk with impunity.

But he never expected his luck to be this bad today.

First he encountered two reckless thieves, now this hard nut to crack—is this the Liang Capital?

Wang Dongjia knew these people before him were likely of considerable origin.

But considering his ties to the Ministry of Justice Assistant Director, and his status as a newcomer who needed to make a name for himself to secure his footing in Jingdu,

he no longer hesitated.

"You dare threaten me? Brat, today I'll make you bleed from the head!"

"Do you know who I'm connected to—the Ministry of Justice Assistant Director?"

As Wang Dongjia was shouting, many nearby residents had heard the commotion and rushed over to watch.

At first they thought it was just common troublemakers, but when they drew closer, they nearly fainted.

"Did I see that right… that man is… the Prince of Qin?"

"It really is the Prince of Qin! Who is the man across from him? How bold—he dares provoke the Prince of Qin!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, just watch. After all, even if the sky falls, it won't crush us."

"Hehehe, isn't this… Wang Chen, Wang Dongjia?"

"He's been in Jingdu for just a few days, and he's already offended the Prince of Qin!"
