Chapter 310 - Chapter 310: Chapter 303: Be careful or I’ll flatten your He Family_1 (2/2)

Receiving her master’s affirmation was like having a calming pill for her heart.

Murder was against the law, and the killer must pay with their life; this belief was deeply ingrained in people’s hearts.

However, Qin Niu was no longer an ordinary Insect Master but a noble of the highest rank.

Not to mention that the coachman had offended him first; even without any offense, just an irreverent glance was enough to justify an on-the-spot execution.

After understanding the situation, the authorities would merely regard it as the death of a chicken or a duck.

“Xiao Qing, remember, when reason cannot resolve an issue, as long as our strength is formidable enough, we can use force at any time. Today marks the beginning of your true experience of the law of the jungle,” he said.

Qin Niu calmly soothed her, enlightening her with his words.

He didn’t even spare another glance at the fallen coachman and the extremely terrified He Sire.

To him now, a commoner was truly like an ant.

Crushing one to death carried no burden at all, neither mentally nor legally.

“You dare to commit violence in broad daylight, just you wait,” He Sire said.

He pulled out a dagger, cut the reins, sprang onto the horse, and fled in panic toward the direction of the village.

One could see an expanse of buildings there.

In the depths, that castle-like complex was likely the He Family stronghold.

“Take this message to the head of the He Family: I, Qin Niu, do not wish to cause trouble, but I am not afraid of it either. I’ve claimed these hundred acres of good land. If the He Family dares to play tricks and obstruct me, I won’t hesitate to level the He Family,” he declared.

These were words of great dominance.

They were fundamentally different from the bluster of He Sire when he first alighted from the carriage.

He Sire was merely posturing; to put it crudely, it was all an act. Qin Niu, however, carried himself with a dignified air, his grandeur understated.

The stern words he spoke were backed by formidable strength.

The battle with Elder Jiu Yin had been of great help to him, making his own power crystal clear.

In these lands, he might already be an invincible presence.

That’s because he had too many aces up his sleeve.

He had the Ink Blade and the Treasure Armor, the insects and Beast Pet, and the Ancient Banyan Tree.

At the same time, he possessed Blade Technique martial skills and had reached the second level of the Innate Realm.

In terms of status, he enjoyed the dual privileges of being an Insect Master and a first-class noble.

All these factors combined gave him the strength to face any local family head-on.

And his chances of winning were very good.

As long as these families did not have hidden elder ancestors as their backbone, he was almost guaranteed victory.

Moreover, he was not overbearing in his actions, always abiding by the rules.

In matters of morality, he always held the high ground.

He Sire, mounted on his horse, trembled at Qin Niu’s words, almost falling off in fright.

What kind of tough customer had he provoked?

This Insect Master named Qin Niu was either young and overly arrogant, or he truly had the capability to back his words.

Even Yan Ruohai of the Yan Family wouldn’t dare to make such a bold claim of flattening the He Family.

After fleeing back to the He Family in a panic, the first thing He Sire did was order a gathering of all the Protectors in the family. He himself went straight into the family’s ancestral hall.

He Sire’s father had died relatively young.

It was said that this was because He Sire’s grandfather had been unrestrained in his desires, even taking a cousin as his wife, leading to congenital deficiencies in He Sire’s father from birth.

Despite the family’s efforts, the former family head of the He Family still only lived to be fifty before passing away.

Fortunately, the last family head of the He Family had many sons despite his weak constitution; he was quite the ladies’ man and had seven sons.

The He Family’s seven sons managed all the family’s affairs, which allowed the family’s business to continue to flourish.

Currently, no successor to the family head had been chosen.

By tradition, it was usually the eldest son who inherited the family business.

But since the seven sons of the He Family had been managing affairs from an early age, each held a certain amount of power and influence and none acknowledged the others’ superiority.
