The voice of Young Master Nalan Yun instantly halted the tense, knife-edge atmosphere throughout the venue!
Even in a desperate situation, to issue such a domineering, arrogant threat stunned everyone!
The Nalan family!
A clan so low-key and mysterious even within China, honestly, very few people in Yue’an City knew about them.
But even though most had never heard of the family,
when Young Master Nalan Yun spoke with such murderous intent, everyone could still feel the overwhelming power behind those four words: “Nalan family.”
“I don’t care who you are, or which faction you belong to!
But as long as I, Nalan Yun, die here, the Nalan family will wipe out your entire nine clans and stain all of Yue’an red with your blood!”
To dare make such a threat in utter desperation—everyone knew this wasn’t the ranting of a madman, but the declaration of someone with absolute confidence!
The mere mention of the “Nalan family” was enough to make everyone reconsider the price of killing him.
Would someone like Young Master Nalan Yun, who had bet hundreds of millions in gold chips at the Liquor Exchange, be insane?
That thought caused the thousands surrounding him to hesitate for a rare moment.
Not far away, on the tall building, Da Cai and Claire Chen’er Mo were calmly sipping fine red wine.
Hearing those words, even they felt a chilling sense deep down.
In fact, Da Cai’s temptation of Claire Chen’er Mo and his offer to help deal with these Chinese VIPs had reasons.
On one hand, the priceless treasures worth billions held by these people were enough for someone like Da Cai—who constantly lives on the edge—to risk it all.
On the other hand, Da Cai also bore a great grudge against the Nalan family.
The exact reason was a shame he didn’t want to recall—it was carved deep into his heart!
It was the main reason he urged Claire Chen’er Mo to take action.
That was why he knew that if the eldest legitimate son and first heir of the Nalan family were killed, it would be a form of payment, but it would also mean making an irreconcilable enemy of this giant entrenched in southern China.
It would surely bring a storm of retaliation.
This is exactly why Da Cai invited Claire Chen’er Mo to join forces.
If this matter were to be exposed, having Claire Chen’er Mo involved would at least mean having a powerful ally—like the richest man in Australia—to stand with him against the Nalan family.
Otherwise, alone and isolated, Da Cai would have no chance of winning against the Nalan family.
While Da Cai pondered this, his gaze fell on the Nalan Yun in utter desperation, whose aura shook hearts and minds.
He knew this was a rare and outstanding young man in terms of intellect, temperament, and charisma.
It was a pity that such a promising youth from the Nalan family was destined to die.
After a brief pause, Da Cai composed himself and broke the nearly frozen atmosphere with a deep voice.
“Nalan family? Strong as you are, so what? I’ve already sent people to kill your comrades, which proves I’m not afraid of any of your threats! If I dare kill ‘Leng,’ the one who dominates all the top tycoons, then I dare kill the eldest legitimate son of the Nalan family. No problem! Whoever kills Nalan Yun will be rewarded one hundred billion Vietnamese dong!”
One hundred billion Vietnamese dong!
Da Cai’s words caused a commotion among the thousands besieging Nalan Yun and Dongfang Jing below!
After all, one hundred billion dong was an astronomical sum in an impoverished country like old Vietnam!
Such a fortune was enough to make people risk their lives for a chance at tomorrow, at a future!
So, despite Nalan Yun’s prior threat, the crowd chose to ignore it under the lure of the huge reward and gradually advanced once again.
Seeing the thousands closing in, the calm in Nalan Yun and Dongfang Jing’s eyes slowly began to fade, and a rare trace of anxiety appeared on their faces.
Beside them, Yun Zhongfeng looked at the dense crowd and broke out in sweat.
But just as Nalan Yun and the others were growing anxious, and Da Cai and Chen’er Mo looked down arrogantly from above,
a lone figure suddenly appeared in the quiet airport, completely out of place.
Slow footsteps eerily echoed in everyone’s ears.
This person calmly walked into the already sealed-off airport.
His pace was steady and unhurried, no different from usual.
Behind him trailed two half-dead people.
Perhaps the stark contrast between his calm aura and the tense atmosphere made him stand out.
As he entered, all eyes turned toward him.
Both Da Cai and Chen’er Mo on the tall building, hundreds of staff hiding in the airport lobby, nearly a thousand passengers, and the thousands besieging Nalan Yun and the others.
Nalan Yun and his group couldn’t see because of the crowd, but they could feel the atmosphere shift in that instant.
Even more completely than when Nalan Yun had just issued his threat.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
Some were surprised.
But within seconds, the crowd slowly parted, clearing a path.
Then a very familiar figure appeared before their eyes.
Huh? Mu Bai!
It was none other than Mu Bai.
He hadn’t left alone—he had returned!
And he brought with him two people barely alive.
These two were none other than Da Cai’s two most infamous golden assassins, executioners feared throughout the Golden Triangle.
Now, in Mu Bai’s hands, these two feared killers looked like dead dogs.
“Mu Bai… he… he actually came back safely.”
Dongfang Jing, who normally had a cold aura, looked at the boy steadily walking in from the crowd, momentarily speechless.
She just felt the boy’s figure was so solitary yet so proud and untouchable in that moment.
And somehow, in this desperate situation, that nineteen- or twenty-year-old boy gave her a strange sense of security.
A feeling she’d never felt from anyone else.
She never imagined that she, Dongfang Jing, proud all her life, would now feel safe because of a boy barely out of his teens.
But no matter how unexpected, she knew the feeling was real.
While Dongfang Jing’s emotions were complex, Mu Bai slowly approached her and Nalan Yun, giving them a reassuring glance.
Then he looked up toward the two people on the tall building.
