Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa sat on a small futon, holding a bamboo cup with a porcelain-skinned hand. The steam rose from the ember colored tea and spread the fragrance of fresh tea leaf to the entire room. She held the teacup with delicate fingers, and handed it over to Qi w.a.n.gsun. She then spoke meekly like a typical j.a.panese housewife.

“Qi San, here is your tea.”

“Tea my a.s.s!”

Qi w.a.n.gsun waved a hand and nearly knocked the teacup to the ground. The amber-colored tea juice spilled out and down to the hardwood floor.

“Bakayaro!” The middle-aged man in Sumari dress suddenly pulled a taut face and pulled the blade out from its sheath. Cold lights ran down from the body of the blade and seemed to have lowered the temperature in the room. A powerful Blade Qi rushed forward and forced Qi w.a.n.gsun to lower his head.

“Kawakami San, please don’t!”

If Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa was angry that Qi w.a.n.gsun had nearly knocked the teacup out of her hand, she didn’t show it on her face. Instead, she ordered the middle-age man to stop acting up. The middle-aged man pushed the blade back into the sheath and returned to his seat. However, his eyes were filled with rancor when he glared at Qi w.a.n.gsun.

After she had issued her order, she looked to Qi w.a.n.gsun with a cold face.

“Qi San, are you going to refuse the tea I prepared for you?”

“Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa, don’t play games with me. It won’t work.” Qi w.a.n.gsun let out a cold smile. “Release Xiao Jin now, or you will never leave China again.”

An icy intent rose in Qi w.a.n.gsun’s eyes. His face was contorted by anger, as he put the overbearing demeanor of a rich heir on full display.

Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa was unfazed by Qi w.a.n.gsun’s reaction, instead, she rather liked him that way. “Qi San, you finally look like the son of a mighty figure in China. You acted too weak and helpless before, like a sheep that was meant to be devoured by a tiger.”

“Cut to the chase, Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa, are you going to release her or not?”

Qi w.a.n.gsun said coldly.

Although they were still far from the base of the Qi family’s operation in Northern China, Qi w.a.n.gsun was much closer to home than Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa. Qi w.a.n.gsun was confident that just the bald brawny man alone should be able to handle the threat.

“Qi w.a.n.gsun, you think too lightly of Yukis.h.i.+ro family.” Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa was unaffected by Qi w.a.n.gsun’s hot glare. She slowly lifted a cup of tea and sipped it while covering half of her mouth with the other hand, as per the tea-drinking etiquette. A hint of contempt surfaced on her face.

“Humph! Meng Zhong, help Xiao Jin get out of there. Kill anyone who dares to stop you.”

Qi w.a.n.gsun let out a cold smile as he commanded the bald man with a wave of the hand.

The bald brawny man was called Meng Zhong and he remained seated on the futon as if he didn’t hear the order.

Meng Zhong, didn’t you hear me?” Qi w.a.n.gsun was riled up and so he raised his voice at the man.

Meng Zhong remained as still as a statue.

Qi w.a.n.gsun panicked slightly as he realized that the usually obedient Meng Zhong no longer listened to his orders.

“Qi San, what about now? Do you still think the odds are with you?” Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa set the teacup on the table and let out a gloating smile.

“You are in this with them?” Qi w.a.n.gsun finally wrapped his mind around what was going on. Meng Zhong wouldn’t ignore him without getting the order to do so from Qi w.a.n.gsun’s father. It was evident that Qi w.a.n.gsun’s father knew of the kidnapping.

“I can’t believe that my father would help you to set me up!”

Qi w.a.n.gsun exclaimed incredulously.

Despite the difficult relations.h.i.+p between the father and son, it still seemed unforgiving of the father to help a woman from j.a.pan against the son.

Even Chen Fan was taken aback by the development. The son and father’s bickering was getting out of hand.

“Young Lord, Lord Qi wanted you to marry Miss Yukis.h.i.+ro right away. Both Dong Sheng Group and Qi family were counting on this alliance.” Meng Zhong finally broke his silence.

“What do you mean?” Qi w.a.n.gsun furrowed brows and asked in confusion.

He registered that something was off in the cadence of Meng Zhong. Did anything bad happen to the Qi Family so that they had to turn to the Yukis.h.i.+ro family for help? The Fu Hai Group was the Qi family’s only rival, but the two-parties had been at it for decades and the compet.i.tion had always ended in a stalemate.

Meng Zhong answered him with a heavy voice: “Yang Qinhu has made a move on us.”

His words stirred up different reactions on his listener’s faces. Chen Fan narrowed his eyes as he felt the name Yang Qinhu sounded very familiar.

“Yang Qinhu?” Qi Dongsheng’s brows remained in a knot. He said in bewilderment. “Do you mean that tyc.o.o.n lives near the China-Russia Border? Our paths never crossed, why would he go out of his way to act against us? But even if he did, so what? It’s not like we are afraid of him on our turf. He is not that powerful anyway.”

“Young Lord, you think too lightly of Yang Qinhu. He is not only a tyc.o.o.n that presided near the border, but he is also a powerful Grandmaster listed on the heaven roll.” Meng Zhong announced in a serious voice as he shook his head.

“Heaven roll? Grandmaster?” Qi w.a.n.gsun was dumbfounded.

He had never heard of those terms. Although he was groomed to be the next lord of the Qi family, and Qi Dongsheng even hired many experts to teach him the art of people reading, he was an outsider when it came down to Martial arts. After all, Qi Dongsheng had never thought that they would have to deal with threats such as Yang Qinhu.

Chen Fan finally remembered that he had seen Yang Qinhu’s name on the Heaven roll before.

“I recall that he ranked number twenty on the Heaven roll.” Chen Fan rubbed his chin.

“Even if Yang Qinhu is more powerful than Brother Meng, we still have over a few dozen guards in my family’s service. Not to mention the hundred or so former employees of my father. They have all kinds of modern weapons in their disposal, and Yang Qinhu would mean nothing to them. Don’t tell me that he would lead an army to our doorstep. The Chinese government would never allow him to do that.”
