Kyoto, Dinghai District, at the entrance of Tianyi Villa.
Ye Ling sat in the back seat of the black sedan, crossing his legs and looking out the window. He asked with a smile, "This is where your master lives?"
The bald man in the driver's seat, his muscles tense, trembled and said, "Yes, yes... the Yun family owns a property here. Steward Xu usually lives here. Everything we did was at Steward Xu's instruction."
The refined man beside him also said in fear, "Right, right! Steward Xu's villa is Building 3, Unit 2. He has very strict living habits. At this time, he should be swimming in the pool. You'll see him if you go there!"
After Ye Ling displayed a bit of his strength, these two thugs were completely overcome by fear. They betrayed their master utterly and revealed everything they knew.
"Building 3, Unit 2?" Ye Ling chuckled lightly, reaching out to pat the shoulders of the two thugs. "I see. Thank you for your honesty."
With Ye Ling's pat, the two thugs instantly sat up straight, their foreheads covered in sweat!
Seeing the nervous state of the two thugs, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, saying nothing more. He got out of the car and headed towards the villa area.
When the refined man saw Ye Ling get out, he felt a wave of relief. He quickly urged the bald man, "Quick, drive away! As far as possible! That person is a monster!"
The bald man also quickly regained his senses and stepped on the accelerator, speeding away!
In the blink of an eye, the sedan shot a hundred meters away!
Boom!!!
At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck, hitting the fleeing sedan precisely.
The entire car exploded, erupting in a fierce inferno on the road!
The parked vehicles around began to blare their alarms, and pedestrians on both sides looked on in bewilderment at the burning car in the middle of the road, not yet understanding what had happened.
Meanwhile, Ye Ling, as if completely unaware of the events outside, strolled leisurely into the complex and arrived in front of Villa 3, Unit 2. He could see an elderly man with graying hair swimming in the pool in the courtyard.
By the poolside, several beautiful women in bikinis were lounging on sun chairs, soaking up the sun leisurely.
"That must be Steward Xu..."
Ye Ling looked at the steward swimming in the pool, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. He chuckled, "As expected of the Yun family. Even a mere steward is a fourth-rank异士 (yishi). No wonder Yun Dandan acts so brazenly."
Without any pretense, Ye Ling pushed open the gate and walked into the courtyard.
The commotion Ye Ling caused was considerable, even startling the sunbathing beauties.
"Who is it?" Several beauties sat up from their sun chairs and, seeing Ye Ling push open the gate, asked impatiently.
Ye Ling ignored the beauties and walked to the poolside, looking at Steward Xu, who was still swimming. He asked indifferently, "Are you Steward Xu?"
Steward Xu acted as if he hadn't even noticed Ye Ling, swimming as he said, "This friend barges into my residence so rudely. What do you want?"
After all, Steward Xu was a fourth-rank 异士 (yishi), considered a master in his circle. Moreover, he had worked for the Yun family for many years, naturally possessing his own arrogance.
Seeing Steward Xu's composed demeanor, Ye Ling also smiled contemptuously, "It seems you are..."
As his words fell, Ye Ling made a casual gesture. Steward Xu, who was swimming, suddenly felt a powerful suction force.
Unable to resist, Steward Xu was directly pulled out of the water and rolled to the edge of the pool. He tumbled several times, crashed through the floor-to-ceiling window, and fell into the house.
"Murder!" The bikini-clad beauties had never witnessed such a scene and screamed in terror.
Ye Ling glanced indifferently at the women and said, "Scram!"
With Ye Ling's ultimatum, the women dared not linger any longer. They scrambled out of the villa, and the courtyard instantly fell silent.
After driving away the irrelevant individuals, Ye Ling entered the villa and saw Steward Xu lying amidst the broken glass.
"You, who are you?"
Steward Xu struggled to get up from the glass shards, looking at Ye Ling in terror, and stammered, "I, I am from the Yun family. You'd better be polite!"
After Ye Ling revealed his abilities, Steward Xu understood that his opponent was a powerful 异士 (yishi), and he was no match for him!
Now, all he could do was invoke the Yun family's name.
In Kyoto, the name Yun family often carried more weight than a thousand words!
Unfortunately, Steward Xu had encountered Ye Ling.
Ye Ling ignored Steward Xu's threat, scanned the room, and then walked to the desk, pulling over a chair.
Seeing Ye Ling sit brazenly before him, Steward Xu's fear intensified. He got up to escape, but he was only wearing swim trunks, and the floor was covered in broken glass. Before he could take two steps, he stepped on a glass shard, cutting his foot. He fell heavily to the ground, his body pierced by numerous glass fragments!
"Ahhhhhh!"
Steward Xu cried out in pain, his body bleeding profusely!
Ye Ling sat in the chair, watching Steward Xu struggle on the ground. With another casual gesture, a knife from the kitchen flew out of its rack and pierced Steward Xu's calf, pinning him to the wooden floor!
Blood instantly stained the floor, and Steward Xu's screams grew louder!
"Steward Xu!"
The bodyguards, rushing in upon hearing the commotion, saw Steward Xu pinned to the floor by a knife. Their scalps tingled, and without hesitation, they drew their pistols and aimed at Ye Ling!
Unfortunately, before their fingers could pull the triggers, a black glint flashed past, and all the bodyguards' hands flew off.
The once clean and tidy villa was instantly splattered with blood!
Screams echoed one after another!
Seeing Ye Ling's methods, Steward Xu's fear deepened. He roared, "Who, who exactly are you? What do you want?"
Seeing that Steward Xu still had the strength to shout, Ye Ling gestured slightly again. Another knife from the kitchen flew out and pinned Steward Xu's other calf!
"Ahhhhhh!" Steward Xu screamed again, but with both legs pinned, he couldn't even struggle!
Ye Ling looked indifferently at Steward Xu, who was lying on the ground with his back to him. He drew a semicircle with his index finger, and the two knives pinning Steward Xu's calves rotated him halfway around on the ground, bringing Steward Xu's head to rest at Ye Ling's feet.
"Look up," Ye Ling said calmly.
Steward Xu no longer had the strength to roar and could only lift his head with difficulty, looking at Ye Ling.
"Kneel."
Ye Ling slightly raised his index finger. Steward Xu felt an upward force supporting his upper body. Combined with his legs being pinned by the knives, he knelt before Ye Ling!
Kneeling before Ye Ling, Steward Xu endured the intense pain and gritted his teeth, "Who sent you? What's the price? I'll pay double!"
Ye Ling looked calmly into Steward Xu's eyes and said, "Bai Qiao."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Steward Xu's pupils contracted sharply!
"Bai Qiao?"
