All the wealthy individuals at the banquet were evacuated.
Currently, everyone was in a state of lingering fear as they looked back at the banquet hall, from which intense fighting sounds were still emanating.
Even Tao Wenyu was now following behind the crowd, looking utterly lost, his thoughts unknown.
“Ms. Liu, who are these masked individuals!”
Many of the wealthy individuals turned to look at Liu Rumei.
“We’re not entirely sure, but Mr. Ye has dealt with them before. Let Mr. Ye and his group handle the situation inside!”
Liu Rumei tried to appease everyone, but her heart felt heavy. She recognized members of such masked organizations.
Once, a killer wearing a bronze mask had been by Baxianhu’s side. That individual had turned the entire underground forces of Yangzhou upside down, assassinating many powerful figures.
Today, more than a dozen such bronze-masked killers had appeared at once, along with two silver-masked powerhouses.
Although she was worried about the situation inside, she knew that such a battle was not something their underground forces could participate in!
“Rumei, you should arrange for everyone to withdraw from the villa first! Also, provide as much assistance as possible to Mr. Ye and his group. If it weren’t for Mr. Ye, everyone would have been in great danger this time.”
Old Master Fu, leaning on his cane, emerged from the crowd.
Liu Rumei nodded and immediately arranged for people to escort these wealthy individuals away.
However, just then, a figure insisted on rushing towards the banquet area and was stopped.
“Miss Tang, you cannot go there. It’s too dangerous!”
Liu Rumei quickly went to dissuade her. She dared not let Tang Xinwan go there; if she were harmed, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to Ye Cangtian.
Tang Xinwan’s face showed anxiety, and she bit her lip, saying, “But…”
Liu Rumei knew the other party was worried about Ye Cangtian, so she comforted her, “Miss Tang, Mr. Ye will be fine!”
“Yes, Xinwan. Your nephew-in-law is such a capable person, he won’t be in any trouble. If you go, you’ll only distract him!” Uncle Tang Yongchang also anxiously advised.
He did not want Tang Xinwan to have any accidents at this critical juncture. The Tang family had finally produced a president of the Chamber of Commerce, which signified their family’s complete rise and potential to become the next top-tier family.
As for Ye Cangtian, Tang Yongchang felt that with his nephew-in-law’s great capabilities, he should be alright.
Tang Xinwan listened to everyone’s dissuasion and no longer insisted on running over. She just stamped her foot, grumbled angrily, and muttered, “Going to do dangerous things again, may he just die if he dies!”
Despite saying this, her face was still full of worry.
The wealthy individuals were being protected and evacuated one by one. Even Tao Wenyu got into a car with a pale face. Only Tang Xinwan and Tang Yongchang remained.
Soon, Liu Rumei’s people had surrounded the villa.
Fortunately, the wealthy individuals had booked the entire villa for the day, so there were no major casualties.
…
Meanwhile, in the banquet hall.
The battle had completely erupted. The entire banquet hall was in disarray, with no chairs or tables left intact.
Zhang Liang and Iron Tower, two captains of the Dragon Group squads, were fighting Xuan Shi together, completely suppressing him.
On the other side, fourteen Dragon Group members, along with Shangguan Yun and Xu Shian, were holding their own against the eleven Yellow-level members.
The only strong fighter in the arena was Xuan Si, the one wearing the silver mask!
This guy’s strength was indeed formidable. Ranking fourth in the Dark Association, his power was definitely not weak. Unfortunately, he had encountered Ye Cangtian.
After more than ten rounds of fighting, Xuan Si’s expression grew increasingly grim.
He had originally intended to kill Ye Cangtian first, then deal with the Dragon Group members. However, he hadn’t expected that after several rounds of combat, he wouldn’t gain any advantage.
“When did the Dragon Group, besides Yuwen Cheng, have people with such strength?”
Xuan Si frowned deeply.
He had met Yuwen Cheng and even fought him!
It was said that he was the top expert of Group B of the Dragon Group. On that occasion, he and Yuwen Cheng had fought to a mutual defeat.
And this Ye Cangtian in front of him actually possessed such strength?
Damn it!
There were too many variables this time. First, the Dragon Group had ambushed them early to lure them in, and then Ye Cangtian’s strength was not weaker than his, which was the biggest variable.
Lingering here any longer was meaningless!
“Shiwu, we’re leaving!”
Xuan Shiwu gritted his teeth, pushed back the two Dragon Group captains, and yelled at the other Yellow-level members, “Withdraw!”
In an instant, the eleven Yellow-level members could no longer afford to worry about anything else and began to retreat towards the outside.
Xuan Shiwu, taking advantage of the moment when the two captains were forced back, turned to leap out of the window.
However, just then, a figure anticipated his movements and delivered a kick. Xuan Shiwu didn’t even have time to dodge and was kicked back.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked resentfully at the person who had blocked him.
“I told you, since you’re here, you’re all going to stay!” Ye Cangtian said with a smile.
“Ye Cangtian!”
Xuan Shiwu gritted his teeth, knowing it would be difficult to escape.
The two Dragon Group captains were not weak. While he wasn’t afraid of them individually, he was clearly no match for them when they fought together.
He had finally found an opportunity just now, and had a chance to escape through the window, but Ye Cangtian had seen through him instantly.
Now that the two Dragon Group captains were attacking him from both sides again, it was only a matter of time before he was defeated.
On the other side, Xuan Si sneered, “Ye Cangtian, you can keep them here, but that doesn’t mean you can keep me!”
“Brother Si, save me!” Xuan Shiwu hurriedly called out.
Xuan Si glanced at him indifferently. Did he know to call him Brother Si now?
However, he was already struggling to save himself, so how could he manage Xuan Shiwu? Thus, he turned around without hesitation and fled outside.
“Xuan Si, you can’t abandon me, you scoundrel!”
Xuan Shiwu’s powerless roar came from behind.
At this moment, Xuan Si had already escaped the banquet hall and was heading out of the villa. He paid no attention to Xuan Shiwu’s enraged shouts.
He could only blame this fellow for being too useless, for willingly walking into the Dragon Group’s trap. Therefore, he was not worried about being held accountable for escaping alone.
Ahead, the entire villa was sealed off, and people from the underground forces were everywhere.
Seeing him escape, over a dozen men rushed forward with knives.
“A bunch of ants dare to stop me!”
Xuan Si sneered. Just as he was about to act, he saw Ye Cangtian chasing after him. He snorted and directly bypassed those dozen men.
Although they were just ants, dealing with them would take time. If he got bogged down, it would be very troublesome!
Therefore, after bypassing the obstructing figures, he leaped directly onto the villa’s wall.
The wall was covered with barbed wire and thorns. These were effective against ordinary people but could not harm him.
Xuan Si turned to look at Ye Cangtian, who was chasing him, with a smile on his face. “Ye Cangtian, is it? Very good. I’ve got my eye on you. You’d better keep an eye on your family from now on. I might not be your match, but your family might not be so lucky!”
“Are you really sure you can leave?”
“Hmm?”
Xuan Si looked at Ye Cangtian and frowned.
Why couldn’t he leave? As long as he jumped off the wall, no one would be able to stop him from leaving. In the suburbs, escaping would be the simplest thing.
Ye Cangtian smiled brightly and couldn’t help but remind him, “You probably don’t know, but there’s something called high voltage electricity, right?”
Xuan Si’s expression changed, but he still looked somewhat confused.
However, at that moment, a huge current surged through the steel wire mesh next to him.
Although the blades on the steel wire mesh couldn’t hurt him, he didn’t know that these steel wire meshes had already been connected to high-voltage electricity.
Instantly, the powerful current spread throughout Xuan Si’s body. The tingling sensation made his hair stand on end.
His mind went blank!
“Boom!”
Xuan Si fell from the several-meter-high wall, crashing to the ground with his eyes rolling back.
