"This..."
The man in the white veil was stunned by this scene!
With so many people watching, breaking his word would mean losing face.
But if he kept his promise, wouldn't he be digging his own grave?
After a moment of hesitation, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he laughed maniacally, "Haha, I see, you brat are just playing tricks on me."
"You think I'll fall for your cheap tricks to defeat me?"
"Someone, seize this kid immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the last raw stone was cut, the man in the white veil's subordinates rushed towards Li Yang, fists clenched, and attacked him swiftly.
Li Yang frowned. This seemed to be within his expectations. He looked back at the incoming fists, took a light step back, and neutralized the opponent's powerful punch.
Then, he spun around, appearing behind the man in an instant, and grabbed the strongman's shoulder blade.
"Ah!"
The strongman let out a sharp scream as his bone was crushed by Li Yang's grip.
Li Yang kicked his knee, causing him to lose control. With a bang, he fell to one knee, cracking a piece of the floor tile.
Then, Li Yang held him and said, "This is how you attacked our Chinese treasure appraisers just now. Now I'll return the favor in the same way."
Boom!
Li Yang kicked him in the back. The man flew out three meters, face-planting onto the ground. He tried to get up but found his entire upper body completely immobile.
This scene shocked everyone in the hall once again!
"What a skill! This kid is not only a master of treasure appraisal but also a martial arts expert!"
The man in the white veil couldn't help but marvel. He had been in China for some time but had never encountered such a terrifying individual.
After dealing with his subordinate, Li Yang turned and swept his cold gaze towards the man, saying sternly, "Now, if you take your own life, you might avoid all pain. Otherwise, your end will be the same as your subordinate's."
"How dare you! Do you know who I am? I am the number one treasure appraiser of Bangguo. If you dare to touch me, you're going against Bangguo. You'll regret it." The man in the white veil threatened arrogantly.
"Bangguo? So you're quite capable then. Let's see just how capable you are."
As Li Yang finished speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder blade with one hand. He applied slight pressure, causing the man to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
In less than two seconds, he quickly knelt on the ground and begged Li Yang for mercy, "Brother, don't kill me. I know I was wrong. I will never disrespect China again. As long as you let me go, I will agree to any of your conditions and never go back on my word."
"It seems your backbone isn't that strong!"
"What? I..."
The man in the white veil's face was filled with fear!
His eyes darted back and forth, his mind filled with hesitation, but he lacked the courage to act.
Li Yang asked contemptuously, "You're reluctant to hurt yourself? Then let me do it for you."
"Ah!"
As soon as the words fell, the man in the white veil felt his heart pounding as if it would jump out of his chest. Li Yang's palm strike had penetrated deep into his heart.
His heart was now beating rapidly, and he felt as if he could die at any moment. His face turned extremely red, and even a slight breath made him panic.
"Everyone, listen up! Our master invites you all to the top floor for today's treasure hunt convention."
Just as Li Yang was enjoying torturing him, a host in formal attire walked down from upstairs. Facing everyone in the lobby on the first floor, he announced.
Li Yang glanced back, remembering the main business of the day. He decided not to engage with the man further. He simply turned and said, "Old man, you're lucky. But you've been struck by my Heart-Shattering Palm. Even if you don't die now, you won't live past tonight."
"Enjoy the taste of my Heart-Shattering Palm."
"You..."
The man in the white veil clutched his heart. Just as anger stirred within him, he felt his heartbeat quicken again, scaring him into quickly composing himself.
Li Yang turned back, let out a disdainful chuckle, and left the scene.
Others followed the host, taking the elevator upstairs.
Only the man in the white veil did not follow. He felt his physical condition was no longer sufficient to participate in the treasure hunt convention.
He needed to find a doctor as soon as possible to treat his condition.
He turned around alone and left the scene with his subordinates.
However, as he reached the main entrance, he suddenly saw the two bodyguards outside lying on the ground. He immediately realized something was wrong.
Could it be that the young man from earlier had caused trouble?
A jolt went through him at this thought. He was about to take out his phone to alert Ku Teng upstairs when, before he could even steady himself, a police officer appeared before him.
It was Murong Xue.
"Please come with us. You are suspected of being involved with the Sakura Country treasure thieves. You will voluntarily accept our investigation," Murong Xue said, showing him her badge with great seriousness.
"What?"
At this moment, the man in the white veil was completely disheartened!
He finally realized that coming here tonight was a trap. If he had known he would be arrested and interrogated, and beaten for no reason, he would not have come, no matter how great the profit.
But now, it was too late.
It turned out that Li Yang had asked Qian Long to lie in wait. However, Qian Long, feeling uneasy, had contacted Murong Xue to bring people, ready to make arrests.
Murong Xue's involvement proved useful.
Qian Long, hiding in the shadows, saw that his plan was effective and couldn't help but excitedly run over, smiling, "Miss Murong, I didn't lie to you, did I? I've done you a great service. You have to repay me."
"Beat you up? Do you really want me to beat you?" Murong Xue asked coldly, turning back.
"Ah? What repayment, I meant repayment. I helped you out, you wouldn't..."
"I'm sorry, this is someone I caught through my own efforts. It has nothing to do with you. Please don't disturb me while I'm on duty."
Murong Xue had no good feelings towards him. Even knowing he was Li Yang's disciple, she didn't want to bother with him.
He stood there dumbfounded, watching Murong Xue have the people she had just apprehended taken away. She then returned to her car, waiting for people inside to appear.
Qian Long shrugged, realizing he had been overly optimistic, and said nothing. He returned to his hidden position.
Meanwhile, Li Yang had followed the crowd to the conference hall on the top floor.
As he stepped inside, Li Yang saw a very familiar face.
