As Bai Ruoqi stoked the atmosphere, a gleam finally appeared in the eyes of all the high-level executives, who seemed determined to stand or fall with the southern region.
Just as Bai Ruoqi was about to issue further instructions, an assistant-like figure rushed in.
He shouted, "Bad news! Something's happened!"
The person in charge, whose fighting spirit had just been ignited, was naturally displeased to hear the assistant say this. He frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out!"
But the assistant did not leave. Instead, he continued to shout, "This time, it's really a big deal!"
"A group of spiritual cultivators has arrived downstairs at the company. It looks like they're going to attack!"
"What did you say?!" Hearing this, the person in charge's expression immediately turned to shock.
He quickly said, "What's going on? Why would this happen all of a sudden?"
The assistant shouted, "They are in the plaza now. You can see them from the window!"
"Looking at them, they don't seem friendly at all!"
All eyes converged at that moment, and then they all walked quickly towards the window.
The assistant was right. Many people were already standing in the plaza, and there should have been over a hundred of them.
The person in charge's mind went blank.
He said blankly, "How could this happen? They were just here a couple of days ago. Why are they back again?"
Bai Ruoqi immediately asked, "What do you mean? Where did these people come from? Are they my brother's people?"
The person in charge nodded and said, "That's right. These are Young Master Bai's people. The leader is named Li Feng, a ninth-level spiritual cultivator. He was the one leading the team before."
"But he only brought a few dozen people before. I didn't expect him to bring so many this time!"
Bai Ruoqi was also a little at a loss.
At this moment, Wu Tian said in a low voice, "Let's not stand around here. We should go down and take a look."
"Judging by their formation, they're definitely going to charge up."
"It's better to resolve the problem downstairs than inside the building. Otherwise, it will be more troublesome."
Hearing Wu Tian say this, Bai Ruoqi immediately shouted, "Everyone, come down with me! And call all the spiritual cultivators!"
A group of people ran downstairs one after another.
Just as Wu Tian and the others ran out of the company, dozens more people ran over from various directions and blocked the front of the company.
These were the spiritual cultivator guard teams of the southern region.
Their original strength was over a hundred people, but after the consumption of these days, with some running away and some defecting, they were now less than half of their original number.
Li Feng walked out from the attacking spiritual cultivators. He looked to be in his forties, with a sinister smile on his lips, and said, "We meet again."
The person in charge shouted at Li Feng, "Li Feng! What are you doing here again! Do you want to escalate things further?"
Li Feng smiled and said, "Get out of my way. This has nothing to do with you."
"I'm here this time because I heard that Miss Bai has arrived, right?"
"I am, after all, a member of the Bai family. I'd like to invite Miss Bai home for a visit. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
As he spoke, he cast his snake-like gaze upon Bai Ruoqi.
The person in charge said angrily, "Li Feng, don't think I don't know what you're up to!"
"I'm telling you, no matter what, we won't hand over Miss Bai today!"
"I advise you to behave yourself and don't do anything too outrageous. If you dare to hurt Miss Bai, you know the consequences!"
Li Feng did not take it to heart and said with a smile, "What are you talking about?"
"I said, I just want to invite Miss Bai. Why would I hurt her?"
"Don't think of me as too bad, okay? I, Li Feng, am sincere towards the Bai family. You can't slander my good intentions."
Bai Ruoqi said coldly, "Sincere? You're probably sincere towards another member of the Bai family, aren't you?"
"You don't need to talk to me like this. Did my brother send you?"
Li Feng smiled and said, "That's right, Miss Bai. Young Master Bai sent me to pick you up."
"Young Master Bai misses you very much, so please come with us."
Bai Ruoqi's beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of coldness. She said, "What if I don't agree? You don't need to say these pleasantries to me. Everyone knows the current situation of the Bai family."
"If you want to capture me, just say so. There's no need to pretend."
Li Feng smiled and said, "Oh, Miss Bai, you are so straightforward. You say what you mean. I really admire your personality."
"Since you already know, why don't you agree to my request?"
"Do you really think you have a chance to escape from here today? I'm telling you, it's impossible."
"If you had stayed in that dilapidated county town, Young Master Bai wouldn't have been so eager to deal with you. But since you've come out today, I'm afraid I have to."
"Anyway, we're determined to take over the southern region today. Since that's the case, let's do all the work together. It will save us an extra trip."
Bai Ruoqi said coldly, "Your name is Li Feng, right? I'm telling you, choosing sides requires a brain. Do you really want to oppose me?"
"Although our family is in decline now, it doesn't mean our family will fall into obscurity."
"If our family eventually gains control of the Bai family, I think you know the consequences, right?"
Li Feng laughed heartily, "Miss Bai, I really don't know what to say to you. Having confidence is a good thing, but too much confidence is not so good."
"At this point, you're still thinking about a comeback? You're really overestimating yourself."
"I'm telling you, your family is completely finished. The final victor will be Young Master Bai!"
"You'd better behave yourself and don't refuse Young Master Bai's invitation."
"This way, I can put in a good word for you with Young Master Bai and prevent you from being eliminated at such a young age."
"But if you insist on opposing Young Master Bai, then not only you, but your entire lineage, will not have a good outcome!"
Bai Ruoqi was filled with anger.
She was, after all, a direct descendant of the Bai family, with a noble status!
But now, even a lackey dared to speak to her like this, how could she not be furious?
She clenched her fists tightly and said, "Don't talk so much nonsense with me. I'm telling you, I will absolutely not yield!"
"Today, the southern region will either live or die. If you want to take me away like this, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
