124: Tensions were high.

Qiao Yu listened to Old Master Xu's words and felt that they were full of hidden barbs, making him instantly displeased.

However, he was the one who created this situation, so he could only endure it for now, lest it affect Luo Feng and Xu Xin's relationship.

"Old Master Xu is joking, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Qiao Yu was naturally polite, walking generously to Old Master Xu's front, not flinching even under the gaze of the Xu Family members.

"War God Qiao, please take a seat."

Old Master Xu did not rise, merely gesturing for Qiao Yu to sit on the sofa opposite him.

Qiao Yu sat down calmly, without any tension or discomfort, as if the Xu Family members present were part of his own family.

And what else could give Qiao Yu such confidence besides his own strength?

Old Master Xu evidently noticed Qiao Yu's relaxed expression and his heart sank. Could their conjecture be wrong?

What if Qiao Yu really was a God of War, but just hadn't had time to register yet?

No, no, that can't be.

Which power wouldn't wish to possess stronger combat power and more authority? If there were such a Genius, they would have reported it long ago for the whole world to know.

Old Master Xu remained calm on the surface, but a grand drama was playing out in his mind.

The two sides stared at each other in this subtle atmosphere, without speaking. Invisible lightning bolts seemed to clash continuously in the air.

Finally, Old Master Xu could no longer hold out and was the first to speak.

"Has War God Qiao ever heard of the War God Palace?"

Old Master Xu inquired in a probing tone.

Generally, ordinary Martial Artists in martial arts dojos only qualify to know about the War God Palace's existence when they reach the High-level Wargod rank. Other Martial Artists with positions or connections are another matter.

According to the Xu Family's investigation, although Qiao Yu received attention from the two major martial arts dojos several months ago, it seems that due to Thunder God's oversight, there is now little news about Qiao Yu in either of the two major martial arts dojos.

They hadn't found much information about Qiao Yu from various sources, and most importantly, War God Yu Yang personally stated that Qiao Yu's name was not in the War God Palace. This was Old Master Xu's greatest confidence.

The more Old Master Xu thought about it, the more unpleasant he felt. The consortium was already suppressed by Martial Artists, and now they were being defrauded by a Martial Artist. If this matter didn't get a resolution, the Xu Family would truly lose all face in the entire China and the entire HR Alliance.

Seeing Old Master Xu's question, Qiao Yu picked at his fingernails, blew on them, and slowly began to speak.

"I naturally know about the War God Palace. It was founded by Hong, the world's number one expert, and Thunder God, the number two expert. It is a group composed of all War God Level Experts from the world's five major powers and various Base Cities, as well as existences that surpass War God Level Experts."

"The War God Palace is the Martial Artists' holy temple, the last bastion for all humanity against monsters. Its purpose is, first, for us Martial Artists to pursue the limits of the human body, and second, to eliminate all monsters on Earth."

"Old Master Xu, am I correct?"

Qiao Yu's nonchalant demeanor infuriated all the Xu Family members present.

Which God of War Martial Artist wasn't proud to be a member of the War God Palace? Which Martial Artist who hadn't yet become a member wasn't filled with reverence for the War God Palace? Yet this Qiao Yu's behavior was always inexplicably abnormal.

Actually, it wasn't Qiao Yu's fault. To Qiao Yu, even Hong and Thunder God were merely tiny Planetary Level beings in the Universe, not worth mentioning in the grand scheme of things.

And this War God Palace on Earth? Heh, just a Private Kindergarten.

"Indeed, it seems War God Qiao has some understanding of the War God Palace."

"I just wonder, which God of War is War God Qiao in the War God Palace?"

Old Master Xu revealed his true intentions, using the gentlest words to say the most infuriating things to the person concerned.

The hearts of the other Xu Family members also thumped. Had it finally come to a situation of swords drawn?

And the more than twenty Warlord-level Martial Artists hidden in the dark, upon hearing Old Master Xu's words, all tightened their grip on their weapons, waiting only for Old Master Xu's command to immediately appear and capture Qiao Yu.

When Qiao Yu, the person concerned, heard Old Master Xu's questioning, how could he not understand what trick the Xu Family was playing? They were questioning his strength as a God of War.

Qiao Yu's lips curved slightly, and he bowed slightly.

"Haha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The laughter grew from faint to loud, echoing throughout the entire private room.

"Qiao Yu, do you think this is funny?"

"Have you ever considered how much damage your lies will cause to the Xu Family's reputation? My sister Xu Xin's reputation will suffer a devastating blow!"

"Do you know what a great crime it is to impersonate a God of War? The Security Bureau can even directly exile you to the Wilderness Area, never to step into a Base City again!"

Xu Gang stood up, pointing at Qiao Yu and roaring angrily, his voice full of indignation, every word indicting Qiao Yu's crimes.

"I thought you were making such a fuss for something important, but it turns out it's just this trivial matter?"

Qiao Yu's smile still couldn't be suppressed, and his words made the veins on the foreheads of the Xu Family members present bulge.

This matter, which mobilized the entire Xu Family's upper echelons, was actually a trivial matter in Qiao Yu's eyes?

"Qiao Yu, do you think this is fun? Making the Xu Family play a game of impersonating a God of War with you? Using my daughter as a pawn, sacrificing others for your so-called brotherhood?"

The middle-aged man standing beside Old Master Xu finally couldn't help but speak.

Old Master Xu was equally enraged, pausing as he tapped his scepter, then slowly spoke.

"Qiao Yu, War God Qiao! If you cannot prove your identity as a God of War, then unfortunately, you will face the wrath of the entire Xu Family! Perhaps we cannot directly end your life within the Base City! But I can guarantee that there will be no place for you to live on this Earth!"

Qiao Yu reined in his smile, looking calmly at all the Xu Family members present, and said indifferently.

"Then if I truly am a God of War, are you sure you can withstand a God of War's wrath?"

Qiao Yu's words directly silenced everyone present. They wouldn't dare to gamble, but Qiao Yu had already treated Xu Xin as his pawn, which was equivalent to making the entire Xu Family play a game with him.

"I'm too lazy to waste my expressions on you boring fellows. How do you want to prove it? Just with the more than twenty Warlord-level Martial Artists hiding in the dark?"

Qiao Yu stood up directly, patted his clothes, and spoke lightly.

These words undoubtedly made the Xu Family members present feel a chill.

How did Qiao Yu know that more than twenty Martial Artists were lurking in the dark, ready to strike at any moment, and could even explicitly state that they were Warlord-level Martial Artists?
