34: Chapter 34 Seeking death? Then I'll play along.

"Heh, Robinson, Moriarty, do you think you can leave today?"

Tonight, Victoria seemed to have come seeking humiliation. For Victoria, this night was the most disgusting and terrifying night of her life, one she would never want to recall.

"Moriarty, I will ask you one last time: do you really want to offend the Victor Family? Don't forget that Victor has an older brother with even greater power."

Victoria gritted her teeth and roared furiously.

"Madam Victoria, I have already made myself very clear. I, Moriarty, have no desire to be complicit with you."

Bang! A gunshot pierced the sky.

The lackey closest to Moriarty fell down, unwilling to accept his fate. Moriarty's eyes widened in rage; he wished he could rush over and tear Victoria to shreds.

Victoria blew the white smoke rising from the muzzle of her gun.

"Moriarty, do you see? This is the consequence of defying me."

Swoosh!

Zhang Shan's figure flashed, appearing behind the still self-satisfied and smug Victor.

Without a word, he kicked out—clean, precise, and efficient.

Victoria let out a scream and fell directly at Zhang Shan's feet, her arms and legs covered in scrapes.

Seeing this, Victoria's butler was scared out of his wits. It was truly enough to cost him his life.

In an instant, the situation grew tense. The people opposite them all raised their guns, pointing the pitch-black muzzles at each other. Neither side would yield.

Zhang Shan and his group had no such concerns, but it was different for Victoria's side. Their Madam was being pinned to the ground by Zhang Shan's men, unable to move; one wrong move and she could lose her life.

"You... you cannot touch me! I am the Madam of the Victor Family. If you touch me, you will die a miserable death! If you let me go, I will pretend nothing happened, and the grudge between us will be wiped clean." Victoria had lost all sense of elegance; she was now the spitting image of a shrew.

Zhang Shan smiled.

"Madam Victoria, should I call you naive or calculating? You killed my men, and I killed your son. How can this grudge be wiped clean? Or are you so thick-skinned that you've simply forgotten the fact that I killed your son?"

"Robinson, don't be so arrogant. I tell you, even if I die today, my son will not let you off. My son will avenge me and Victor!"

Zhang Shan theatrically patted his chest and said in a provocative tone, "Oh my, I'm so scared."

Victoria's face was like a palette, flashing with various colors.

Victoria gritted her teeth hard, wanting to stand up and not lose her composure. But she was pinned to the ground by Zhang Shan, feeling as if Mount Tai were pressing down on her, forcing her to stay pressed to the ground, and she felt that even breathing was becoming exceptionally difficult.

Lying on the ground, although it was beneath her status, the arrogance in her eyes remained as strong as ever.

"Yes, you're right to be afraid now. Once you touch me, as long as I'm injured, it means you've become an enemy of the Victor Family. You should know what the outcome of being an enemy of the Victor Family is! When that time comes, even if a miracle occurs, no one will be able to save you!! You had better be sensible now."

The brainless Victoria completely failed to hear the disdain in Zhang Shan's words and, full of arrogance, told Zhang Shan to be a person who knows the times.

"Haha, Madam Victoria, are you trying to be funny? Do you think I'm afraid of being an enemy of the Victor Family? If I were afraid, you wouldn't be lying on the ground right now; you would be sitting in the seat of honor, and we would be kneeling on the ground listening to your lecture. Tsk tsk."

"You... you..." Victoria struggled to stand up, but no matter how hard she tried, she remained completely unable to move.

"You... you mustn't be too arrogant!!"

Zhang Shan smiled. He really didn't know how this Victoria had become the matriarch of the Victor Family. With this level of intelligence? Unbelievable.

At this moment, headlights blazed, turning the dark night into day. Car after car sped over and stopped not far away.

Seeing the license plates, the butler looked as if he had seen a savior, stumbling as he ran toward the parked cars.

"Elder, Elder, please save our Madam! Please save our Madam!" the butler wailed.

Before long, the car door opened, and an old man with white hair stepped out. He looked at the butler kneeling beside the car and said with a cold, stern face, "What a useless waste of space! You can't accomplish anything and only ruin things!! Get to the side."

The butler, knowing he was in the wrong, silently moved to the side.

"Father, Father, hurry and save your daughter!"

Seeing the old man, Victoria looked as if she had seen hope.

When the old man saw his daughter being stepped on, a violent glint appeared in his eyes. He steadied himself, turned around, stared straight at Zhang Shan, and said slowly and deliberately, "Young man, one should be forgiving when possible. While there is still room for maneuver, let it go. You have already punished her; just let her go."

Zhang Shan looked at the old man. As expected, with age comes shrewdness. Even in this situation, he remained calm and composed; he was someone who could endure.

"May I ask who you are?"

"I am Xu Yi, Victoria's father."

"Oh? Xu Yi? A countryman?"

"Yes, I am an overseas Chinese, and Victoria is my daughter."

Moriarty was clearly somewhat panicked by the appearance of the old man. This person was powerful and ruthless, a top-tier figure in Zhili Country.

Watching Zhang Shan's evaluating gaze, the old man was also weighing him up.

This kid seemed cynical and playful, yet the initiative was entirely in his hands. He, Xu Yi, had roamed Zhili for many years; wherever he went, people treated him with a degree of awe, and people would more or less feel guilty or afraid when facing him. But this young man showed absolutely no fear at all. He was a ruthless person and a formidable opponent.

The old man slowly walked to Zhang Shan's side and gave a gentle push. The heavy pressure on Victoria vanished. He helped Victoria up and smoothed her clothes, trying his best to help her maintain her elegance.

No one knew how he had pushed aside someone over 1.8 meters tall, and with such effortless ease.

His strength was unfathomable.

"Young man, do me a favor today and let my daughter go. Consider it an IOU from me, Xu Yi."

"Father, he killed Victor! You can't just let him go like this!" Victoria screamed, losing control.

"Shut up, say no more. It is decided!" The old man instantly released his aura, and Victoria retreated in fear.

"Fine, since you are giving me so much face, it wouldn't be good for me not to give you a way out. But I'll say this upfront: if your daughter comes to trouble me again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Good. I have given you my promise. I look forward to you fulfilling yours."

Zhang Shan would never have imagined that this very promise would elevate his life to a higher level.
