Liu Mengdi glanced at the cup of wine in his hands and saw a vague reflection of himself on the liquid that gleamed with a golden color. His eyebrows were closely knitted together, showing his problematic expression.

"How can I still be so handsome even in my current state?" He tried to ease himself up by complimenting his own image, but the anxiety and sadness in his heart did not diminish. He then recalled his father who had died for his sake and a wave of extreme loneliness struck his soul, making his lips quiver with a multitude of emotions.

'Father! I will avenge your death! Those goddamn bastards! I will erase their existence from this planet!' Liu Mengdi shouted in his heart as he unconsciously tightened his grip on the cup of wine in his hands. If it was just an ordinary cup, it would have already been broken into pieces from the strength of his grip, but all the things inside Jiu Shen's store are not ordinary items, including the cup that Liu Mengdi was holding.

Jiu Shen could sense the rage in Liu Mengdi's heart when he looked at the young man. He had lived for too long that he could already decipher what was on anyone's mind after taking one look at their faces. It was a skill that he learned after living for an unknown number of years...

"According to Ren Shuang, Liu Mengdi's father died under the hands of the young man's uncles. I could understand his rage since this situation is not all too unfamiliar to me. In fact, I even caused quite a scene back then..." Jiu Shen muttered silently with a blank look.

Sleeping soundly in his embrace was a tiny little girl sucking a bottle of milk. Jiu Shen caressed her short white hair gently as he continued to look at Liu Mengdi.

Suddenly, Jiu Shen narrowed his eyes a little bit while looking outside his store through his spiritual perception.

Outside, he saw more than a dozen individuals wearing the robes of the Liu Family. Their faces were filled with fear as they looked at the store in front of them.

"Patriarch, someone told us that Young Ma- that bastard Liu Mengdi is inside the store, but do we really have to go inside the store to capture him?" One of the individuals spoke to the man leading them. This 'patriarch' was one of Liu Mengdi's uncles and he forcefully took the patriarch position after killing Liu Mengdi's father.

"Patriarch, I think it would be better if we wait outside. Nothing good will happen if we provoke that woman." Someone said with a look of fear in his eyes.

Everyone immediately went silent when they heard his words and even the 'patriarch' remained silent. They knew who was the woman that he was referring to and it was because they know her too much that they did not dare go inside the store recklessly. However, the 'patriarch' hardened his expression as he said in a cold tone.

"I am aware of that woman's power, but we have already wasted too much of our time and manpower just to search for that little bastard! This is our only chance to capture him and we might not have this kind of opportunity again if we let him escape today!"

After saying those words, the 'patriarch' walked towards the entrance of the store under his subordinates' stunned gazes. A few seconds after that, they followed him inside the store with nervous looks.

Jiu Shen merely took a brief glance at them before losing interest. He closed his eyes and muttered to himself. "These guys picked the wrong time to make trouble. Theia has been in a very bad mood after not being able to do anything to Liuli's father. I just hope that she would not make a bloody mess inside my store..."

All the customers on the first floor glanced at the newcomers with a look of surprise. They were familiar with the insignia on their robes, so they could already identify the newcomers.

"Oh my! I think they are here for Young Master Liu! "

"Yeah. Those three guys at the front are Young Master Liu's uncles. They should be here to capture him, but would they really capture him here?"

Liu Mengdi stared at the individuals who had just came inside the store and the light in his eyes flickered maliciously when he saw their faces. He took a deep breath and calmly placed down his cup of wine to the table in front of him. He then put on a smile as he looked at the group and said.

"Uncles, to think that I would meet you guys here. Come, wine is on me."

The 'patriarch' and his subordinates watched Liu Mengdi with complicated emotions, but none of them showed a hint of pity.

"Little bastard, did you really think that we would never dare to capture you inside this store?! Because of you, I lost more than several dozens of my men! You must be killed in order to bring my Liu Family to greater heights! Your father was a foolish man and he wasn't fit to be a leader! The both of you are just the same!" The patriarch said with anger.

Everyone watched the scene unfold with interest. None of them were worried since they knew that there was an existence overlooking the whole store with her sharp gaze.

Liu Mengdi's eyes narrowed when he heard those words. He clenched his fists so tightly that veins protruded on his arms. Everyone inside the store could see Liu Mengdi's figure shivering lightly as he looked at the group. They had no idea if it was due to fear or resentment, but even with his eyes closed, Jiu Shen knew what Liu Mengdi was feeling right now.

Rage.

Liu Mengdi suddenly laughed, making everyone confused.

"Hahaha! A fool will always be a fool! I overestimated you too much, but now, I have nothing to worry about. I don't even need to use my own hands to destroy you all..." Liu Mengdi said with an amused look.

The patriarch and his subordinates frowned when they heard that and they felt a sense of unease gripping their hearts tightly.

"If you are just here to cause trouble, then you better scram out of this place before I lose control of my hands." A calm voice drifted inside the store, sending chills to everyone inside.
