Chapter 297: Declaration of War

Seeing Lin Yang not speaking, Wu Shiya snorted.

"Why do you look so shocked?"

"You talk as if you could beat them, just like the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association."

"One can have dreams as a person, but cannot have delusions, you know?"

Seeing Wu Shiya's serious expression, Lin Yang shook his head, without explaining.

And Jia Qianqian, who was driving, stopped in front of them.

"Get in the car, first go to the company, then we'll go eat after."

"Okay."

Upon arriving at the company, Wu Shiya heard the Ke Clan's people and said weakly.

"You go ahead, I'm afraid of those Ke Clan lunatics!"

"Ke Clan lunatics?"

Lin Yang asked curiously.

"What's going on?"

Jia Qianqian shook her head and said.

"Shiya was scared by the Ke Clan people before; whenever she meets them, she takes a detour."

As for that fright, although Jia Qianqian didn't say it, it must not be simple.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have left a psychological shadow on Wu Shiya.

However, Lin Yang didn't ask further.

The two arrived at the meeting room, a man with a bristly beard wearing a suit.

In the meeting room, he smoked, put his feet on the table, acting as if he were at home.

After Lin Yang and the other entered, he took a puff of his cigarette and casually threw it on the ground.

He then took out another cigarette and lit it again.

"Those who don't know would think you're the Hall Master of the Heavenly Martial Hall and the President of the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association, making us wait this long."

In the meeting room, the thick smoke made Jia Qianqian keep coughing.

"Huh, you're putting on an act with me—are you pretending to be sick, or do you despise me?"

The bearded middle-aged man disdainfully said to Jia Qianqian.

Meanwhile, Sheng Tianxiang beside him closed his eyes to rest, appearing as if he were asleep and knew nothing.

After Lin Yang glanced at him, he then looked at the bearded man.

He asked, "Who is Ke Jiuming to you?"

The bearded man, upon hearing that, fell silent for a moment and lowered his legs.

He stood up, walked to Lin Yang, and brought his ear close.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear it."

Seeing this, Lin Yang asked with a chuckle.

"I'm asking, what's your relationship with Ke Jiuming?"

The bearded man chuckled and said to Lin Yang.

"Oh, you were talking about Ke Jiuming."

Just as he finished speaking, the smile on his face turned into a sinister grin.

He then picked up the ashtray and was about to smash it at Lin Yang.

"Damn it, who do you think you are, daring to call my cousin's name!"

But his ashtray did not land on Lin Yang's head.

Lin Yang grabbed his hand holding the ashtray with one hand, and with the other hand slapped him.

"I only want to hear the answer I need; extra nonsense, you'd better not say it."

That slap sent the bearded man flying sideways, knocking out several teeth.

After he got up, Lin Yang sat cross-legged on the conference table, looking at him.

"Answer my question."

The bearded man, looking at Lin Yang, said through gritted teeth.

"He's my cousin."

"What's your name?"

"Tian Boguang."

Lin Yang nodded and continued.

"Not bad, he's a relative of his; I can rest assured sending you on your way."

Upon hearing that, Tian Boguang widened his eyes, face full of disbelief.

He even doubted whether he had misheard!

"What, you want to kill me!"

"Why?"

Lin Yang said with a chuckle.

"Because you're related to the Ke Clan, so you deserve to die."

"Unless you call Ke Jiuming over."

"Crazy!"

In Tian Boguang's view, Lin Yang is a complete lunatic.

Over the past few years, he's only ever heard that the Ke Clan wants to kill someone!

He has never heard of anyone daring to kill a Ke Clan member.

Now Lin Yang stands before him, and actually utters such outrageous words!

He thinks Lin Yang must be crazy!

Even Sheng Tianxiang, who had his eyes closed, couldn't help but open his eyes.

He never imagined that one day he would hear of someone being killed just because of his connection to the Ke Clan!

Moreover, if Tian Boguang dies here, he will also be implicated.

"Qianqian, your friend seems a bit off."

Jia Qianqian also wears a complex expression.

"Mr. Lin, could you do me a favor and spare his life for now?"

Jia Qianqian said, gritting her teeth.

After all, a Ke Clan member died here; she won't feel good either.

"Then I'll give you face—I'll let him off lightly today."

Upon hearing that, Tian Boguang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Yang really killed him, he'd have nowhere to cry.

He merely wanted to come over and throw his weight around for a bit.

And by the way, just to show off and gain a little advantage.

Just as he had just let out a sigh of relief, he heard Lin Yang say.

"Call Ke Jiuming."

Looking at Lin Yang appearing beside him, Tian Boguang gritted his teeth, took out his phone, and dialed Ke Jiuming's number.

As soon as the call connected, Lin Yang took the phone over.

On the other end of the line, Ke Jiuming's voice came through.

"Hey, how's your thing going? Have you confirmed that kid's identity?"

Lin Yang gave a slight smile, nodded, and said.

"Confirmed."

"I am Lin Yang, I have come for you."

Upon hearing that, Ke Jiuming's forehead veins bulged.

This bastard killed my two sons.

He was so angry he laughed bitterly, and said into the phone.

"Lin Yang, good, you've got guts!"

"You really came to Jinling. Then I welcome you!"

"I'm at the Ke Clan; I welcome you anytime. If you've got guts, come!"

Having said that, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up, he sat in his office, remained silent for a moment, and dialed another call.

"Go contact the Heavenly Martial Hall and the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association people!"

"I want to ask them to deal with one person!"

After hanging up, Ke Jiuming muttered with a fake smile.

"Lin Yang, do you think Jinling is your little backwater?"

"You ignorant brat, still dare to jump around in front of me—I'll make you regret it!"

On Lin Yang's side, after hanging up, he looked toward Tian Boguang.

"You came today; besides confirming my identity, is there anything else?"

Tian Boguang trembled all over from fright, and said.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm fine!"

"It was Sheng Tianxiang who sent me to tell you that the contract needs to be changed!"

Upon hearing that, Sheng Tianxiang's mouth twitched slightly.

Indeed, one fears not a godlike opponent, but a pigheaded teammate.

They hadn't even asked much before they summoned him out.

However, his skin is thick enough.

He chuckled and said.

"Manager Tian hasn't even woken up yet; you go back first, we'll talk another day."

Saying that, he took Tian Boguang and left.

Seeing this, Jia Qianqian sighed and said.

"Let's go, let's get something to eat first."

Just as the three stepped out of the building, a ponytail girl ran over.

Seeing him, Lin Yang was somewhat surprised.

Isn't this the ponytail girl from yesterday?

How did she end up here?

Seeing Lin Yang, the ponytail girl, her face full of excitement, ran over.

She came up to Lin Yang, grabbed his hand, and was about to leave.
