"Reflection?" Bai Haonan sneered dismissively.
"Grandpa, I never believe I'm wrong."
"Those who achieve great things must be unscrupulous, so don't tell me any more."
"Give me a straight answer today, are you going to hand over the power of the Bai family or not!"
"If you don't, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"You!"
Bai Haonan's arrogant attitude filled Elder Bai with unprecedented rage.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, you refuse to do as I arranged, and now you want to overthrow me as well?"
"But you haven't even considered whether you have the strength to do so!"
Elder Bai's voice suddenly rose, and he slammed his cane fiercely onto the ground!
Instantly, a whistling sound filled the air as dozens of figures shot out from the building and landed beside Elder Bai.
Each of them exuded a powerful aura, with the weakest being at least an eighth-level spiritual cultivator!
And the leader's strength had even reached the level of a Middle-Grade Immortal!
Upon seeing this, Bai Haonan paused slightly, and then his sinister smile grew even more pronounced.
He clapped his hands and said, "Elder Bai, you haven't disappointed me. I didn't expect you to have hidden so many experts."
Elder Bai snorted, "These are the loyal protectors of our Bai family, guarding against scoundrels like you!"
"Otherwise, do you really think I'm the patriarch for nothing!"
Bai Haonan laughed, "Haha, impressive, impressive. Rumor has it you have a Middle-Grade Immortal as a bodyguard, whom no one has seen for years.
"Everyone said it might be fake, but thankfully I believed it, otherwise, I might have capsized in a ditch."
After speaking, Bai Haonan waved his hand, and three middle-aged men walked out from behind him.
Bai Haonan smiled and said, "Gentlemen, show these ungrateful fellows your strength."
The middle-aged man nodded, then let out a muffled grunt, and his aura instantly erupted.
The aura transformed into a fierce wind that almost knocked Elder Bai to the ground.
The Middle-Grade Immortal guarding Elder Bai's expression changed drastically upon sensing this aura: "Th-three Middle-Grade Immortals?!"
"What?!" Elder Bai was shocked.
He quickly asked, "Liu Xian, are you sure? These three people... are they truly Middle-Grade Immortals?"
Liu Xian nodded solemnly, "That's right, they are indeed Middle-Grade Immortals."
"Although their individual strength is not as great as mine, if they join forces..."
Elder Bai couldn't believe such a thing.
Although their Bai family was one of the eight great families in the capital, they were ultimately just a secular family.
It was already good enough to recruit spiritual cultivators; immortal-level experts generally wouldn't even glance at them.
The effort they had to put in to keep Liu Xian was immense.
Yet Bai Haonan's ability now was to produce three Middle-Grade Immortals all at once. How could such a thing happen in the world?
And as Elder Bai stood there stunned, Bai Haonan let out a wild laugh, saying:
"What's wrong, Grandpa? Are you already scared silly by me?"
"If I didn't have full preparations, how would I dare to act rashly like this?"
"Let me tell you, I have already allied with six of the great families, excluding the Lei family, and these people are borrowed from them."
"Do you think you have the strength to deal with the foundation of six great families?"
Elder Bai was filled with renewed shock and anger, saying, "Just you? You can unite six great families?"
"This is something even I cannot do. How can you, a junior, achieve it!"
Bai Haonan laughed, "It's simple. Everyone rushes for profit; everyone bustles for gain. I merely promised them some benefits."
"The Bai family has many businesses, and they seemed quite interested, so..."
"I promised them that if this coup succeeds, I would give them eighty percent of the market share."
"Under such temptation, why wouldn't they help me?"
Bai Haonan's words almost made Elder Bai spit blood.
He coughed violently a few times, then cursed with grief and indignation:
"Beast, you beast!"
"You are splitting the Bai family, and it will collapse in your hands!"
Bai Haonan sneered, "You don't need to worry about that."
"In short, I've said what I needed to say. The next step depends on your decision."
"If your old bones still want to cause trouble with me, I don't mind playing along."
Elder Bai never expected that his grandson, Bai Haonan, would go this far to seize power.
If he were to succeed today, the Bai family's accumulations over the years would be destroyed within a year!
Therefore, he angrily said, "You little beast, trying to force me to abdicate with this is underestimating me."
"Unless I die here today, I will not let you have your way!"
"Is that so?" Bai Haonan shrugged. "If that's the case, then I can only show you some force."
As soon as Bai Haonan finished speaking, the three middle-aged men immediately charged forward, pressuring Elder Bai.
Liu Xian reacted quickly and stepped forward, engaging in a fierce battle with them.
Liu Xian's words were accurate; the strength of these three middle-aged men, individually, was indeed inferior to his.
But if they joined forces, they would be an insurmountable opponent for him.
Therefore, he was quickly defeated and fell heavily beside Elder Bai.
"Liu Xian!" Elder Bai exclaimed in shock and rushed forward to shout.
Liu Xian struggled to stand up and shook his head, saying, "No, I am not their match."
"This..." Elder Bai's expression became extremely stiff.
Even Liu Xian had been defeated, so how could the spiritual cultivators behind him possibly stop three Middle-Grade Immortals?
Bai Haonan's laughter rang out again: "What's wrong, Grandpa? Is this all the ability you have?"
"It seems I overestimated you over the years."
"If I had known you were so easily defeated, I should have acted sooner. Thinking about it, I truly regret it."
The situation had fallen into a state of extreme crisis. Everyone in Elder Bai's faction was in fear, and no one dared to step forward rashly.
But Bai Ruoqi, as a young woman, bravely stepped forward, her beautiful eyes glaring at Bai Haonan, saying:
"Bai Haonan, you've gone too far!"
"You attacked my father back then, and now you dare to attack Grandpa. Do you have any conscience!"
Bai Haonan laughed, "Conscience?"
"I was too conscientious back then, which is why I didn't kill your entire family directly!"
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here lecturing me right now!"
