446: Chapter 446 Who's talking about me behind my back?

Wang Tianlong remained silent, as some explanations would only seem pale and weak.

Wang Xiue's screams gradually turned into sobbing.

"Brother... how could you do this?"

"He killed your Brother-in-law... how could you kneel to him..."

Wang Tianlong opened his eyes, a flash of pain crossing them.

"Xiue, do you think I wanted to?"

"But if I didn't kneel, the entire Wang Family would have been buried with him!"

"He has the state backing him; what does our Wang Family have to fight him with?"

"With your brother's old life?"

"Even if I threw my old life away, I wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on his head!"

Wang Xiue's sobbing paused for a moment before becoming even louder.

Wang Tianlong took a deep breath, his tone softening.

"Xiue, listen to your brother's advice."

"Stop thinking about revenge."

"Your husband is already dead, but you still have me as your brother, and you still have the Wang Family."

"Ye Chen's side... has already sent word. As long as you stop making trouble, he won't make things difficult for you."

Wang Xiue was beyond furious.

"Brother, you don't need to say anything more."

"I understand."

"For the sake of the Wang Family, you can betray my husband's vengeance."

"To save your own life, you can kneel before that murderer."

"You are the Head of the Wang Family; you make your choices, and I can't control you."

"But my revenge, I will take it myself."

Wang Tianlong's expression changed: "Xiue! Don't do anything reckless!"

"Don't worry, I won't involve the Wang Family."

Wang Xiue spoke coldly.

"From today onwards, I am no longer a member of the Wang Family."

"My business has nothing to do with the Wang Family."

"And the Wang Family's business has nothing to do with me."

"Brother... take care."

The words fell.

"Beep, beep, beep—"

The call was disconnected.

Wang Tianlong held his phone, wanting to dial back, but found his fingers were trembling.

He knew.

His sister's heart was set.

No matter what he said, it would be useless.

He slumped into his armchair, staring at the ceiling, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long while.

He finally muttered to himself.

"Xiue... why go to such lengths..."

The magpies outside the window were still chirping incessantly on the branches.

But to Wang Tianlong's ears, the sound was incredibly grating.

Magpies bringing good news?

What damn good news!

He only hoped his sister wouldn't do anything foolish.

...

USA, Manluodi Family.

Deep within the manor, inside a magnificent banquet hall, the atmosphere was currently so oppressive it was suffocating.

The current Head of the Manluodi Family, Sefu Manluodi, sat in the main seat.

But at this moment, his eyes were full of rage.

He stared at the core family members standing in a row before him and slammed the table hard.

"FUCK!"

"Are you all useless?"

"Every single one of you is useless!!!"

The row of family members lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Sefu breathed heavily, his eyes bloodshot.

"George is dead! My own brother is dead!"

"Dead at the hands of that bastard Ye Chen in the Dragon Kingdom!"

"I told you to capture him and kill him!"

"And the result?"

"It's been four or five days! That bastard is still alive and well!"

"Tell me, what have you all been doing?!"

Everyone was silent as cicadas in winter; no one dared to respond.

Sefu's gaze swept over them, finally landing on a Middle-aged Man.

"Meyer, you speak!"

The Middle-aged Man named Meyer trembled all over and spoke up with difficulty.

"He... Head, it's not that we don't want to act."

"It's just that Ye Chen is too cunning."

"After he killed Second Master George, he disappeared, and then he took a plane back to the Dragon Kingdom."

"Even if our people wanted to pursue him, they couldn't catch up..."

Sefu laughed out of extreme anger.

"Couldn't catch up?"

"Then why didn't you act in the Dragon Kingdom?"

"It's not like our Manluodi Family has no connections in the Dragon Kingdom!"

"Spend some money, find some desperate criminals, is it that hard?"

Meyer's face turned bitter.

"Head, over in the Dragon Kingdom... it's not easy to act."

"That Ye Chen is a member of the Dragon Group and has an official background."

"Furthermore, his own strength is extremely high. Our small connections in the Dragon Kingdom don't dare touch him."

"Once exposed, all of our assets in the Dragon Kingdom will be finished."

Sefu glared at him fiercely.

"Then you mean my brother died for nothing?"

Meyer quickly explained: "Don't worry, Head, we have already found a force in the Dragon Kingdom to cover our people's entry. We will act when the opportunity arises!"

Upon hearing this, Sefu's expression softened slightly.

But that look in his eyes that wanted to kill someone couldn't be hidden at all...

His brother was actually killed by a Dragon Kingdom person!

The people from the other two families were even laughing at them.

It was a total humiliation!

No matter what...

Ye Chen must die!!!

Suddenly!

A flurry of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Everyone looked toward the sound in unison.

A man wearing a black suit stumbled in.

"He... Head! This is bad!"

Sefu frowned and asked coldly, "What happened now?"

The young man ran up to him, panting for breath.

"Mr. Jo... Johnson has been arrested!"

Sefu was stunned: "Johnson? Which Johnson?"

The young man swallowed hard.

"The head of the Asian region who was sent to the Dragon Kingdom to contact the Soul Hall and handle entry matters!"

"He... he was arrested by the Dragon Kingdom police!"

"What?" someone said in shock, "Johnson is a powerhouse at the Heaven Realm level!"

The young man said helplessly: "It was... Ye Chen who did it. Johnson didn't even dare to resist..."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Sefu's face instantly darkened.

"What?"

"That bastard not only killed my brother, but he also dares to arrest our people?"

The young man added with difficulty: "He... he also sent a message back."

Sefu narrowed his eyes: "What message?"

The young man hesitated for a moment before saying cautiously.

"Ye Chen said..."

"Drug-dealing trash should stay in the trash heap."

"If they dare step foot into the Dragon Kingdom, the laws of the Dragon Kingdom will ensure they never return."

The words fell.

Dead silence filled the banquet hall.

Everyone's faces turned black at once.

That bastard actually called them trash?

Sefu flew into a rage and slammed the table hard.

"Arrogant!"

"Too arrogant!"

Sefu's eyes were filled with insane killing intent.

"This Ye Chen, he killed my brother and insulted my family!"

"I want him dead!"

"I want him dead without a whole corpse!!!"

The surrounding family members were all silent as cicadas.

Meyer plucked up his courage to speak.

"He... Head, what do we do now?"

Sefu breathed heavily, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"What do we do?"

"Contact the side in Europe!"

"Hire assassins!"

"Hire the best assassins!"

"No matter how much money it costs, I want Ye Chen's life!"

Meyer trembled and spoke hesitantly.

"Head, the Dragon Kingdom watches foreign assassins very closely. Once exposed..."

"So what if we're exposed?"

Sefu turned his head sharply and stared at him intensely.

"Is my brother's revenge not to be taken then?"

"Are we to let that bastard think my Manluodi Family is easy to bully?"

Meyer didn't dare speak further and quickly nodded: "Yes! This subordinate will handle it immediately!"

He turned and walked quickly toward the door.

Sefu stood where he was, looking out at the gloomy sky outside the window, and growled through gritted teeth.

"Ye Chen... you wait for me."

"My Manluodi Family will fight you to the death!!!"

...

Noon.

Far away in the Dragon Kingdom, Ye Chen suddenly sneezed.

"Achoo—"

He rubbed his nose. "Who's cursing me behind my back?"

Yan Qingwu was sitting across from him, holding a lamb skewer, and giggled at his words.

"You've offended so many people, who do you think it would be?"

The two were currently sitting at a small street stall in Yunnan Province.

Before them sat a plate of sizzling, oily roasted lamb skewers, a few bottles of chilled beer, and a serving of grilled fish that had just been brought out.

The atmosphere was full of everyday life.

Ye Chen grabbed a skewer of lamb, took a bite, and said indistinctly, "It's definitely that group of trash from the Manluodi Family."

"Maybe it's Wang Tianlong's sister?"

Yan Qingwu blinked. "You made her a widow and then forced her own brother to sacrifice family for justice. What's wrong with her cursing you a few times?"

Ye Chen rubbed his nose with an innocent look.

"Can that be blamed on me?"

"Her husband wanted to seek death himself; I couldn't even stop him."

"Besides, wasn't I giving Wang Tianlong a chance to show off? If he really sacrifices family for justice, how impressive will he be in the martial world later?"

Yan Qingwu was amused by him and burst out laughing: "Impressive? More like impressively insane. You're just digging a grave for the man."

Ye Chen chuckled and didn't argue, picking up a beer bottle to clink with hers.

The two were enjoying themselves immensely.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached.

Seven or eight people walked to the table next to them and sat down silently.
