Everyone was quite startled when they laid eyes on the documents that Ye Lingchen retrieved. The most eye-catching phrase was 'Warrior's Department'!

A Lower-Class Warrior from the Warrior's Department!

"Master, you're actually from the Warrior Department, and you're a Lower-Class Warrior too!" Xu Nan could not help but exclaim proudly.

"You're colluding with the people from Earth's Gate Dojo and you intend to steal these high-tech fruits of labor. I have every right to kill you on the spot!" Ye Lingchen remarked nonchalantly.

At that moment, Xia Haiquan and the others became even more desperate.

"Ye... Chairman Ye, I knew you were an extraordinary person, someone who's certainly not without ambition. Sure enough, you're a young warrior too. So young and promising. You have my respect," Xia Haiquan forced out a flattering smile and said.

"You want your life to be spared?" Ye Lingchen smiled and looked at them.

Xia Haiquan nodded frantically.

"Easy." Ye Lingchen smiled slightly. "Show me your sincerity.

"All of you were harping on about how you did everything for Wanrong, right? Chairman Xu and Chairman Ouyang gave me their shares for Wanrong. Shouldn't you be learning from them? "

His insinuation was obvious—he wanted Xia Haiquan and the others to return the money that Ye Lingchen used to buy the shares!

"Yes, it's only right!" They were undoubtedly afraid of saying any more nonsense. After nodding immediately, they eked out a smile that looked even uglier than if they had cried. "In fact, we'd do that too even if Chairman Ye didn't mention it."

"Children can always be taught." Ye Lingchen nodded and continued, "You haven't forgotten what you did to us, have you? Compensation for emotional distress is a must. Aside from that, you even thought about annexing Wanrong! That's another issue that needs to be factored in! How do you think everything should be settled?"

Countless beads of sweat appeared on Xia Haiquan's forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "We'll pay. We'll pay! "

"Well, I won't make things difficult for you. Each one of you will pay another one hundred million!" Ye Lingchen said casually, then looked at Xia Haiquan and remarked, "By the way, you have a son, so that's two hundred million! Hurry and pay up."

The five of them would never dare to refuse. Even though it was heartbreaking to fork out such a sum, money—unlike life—was detached from one's body. That was all it took for Ye Lingchen to receive 820 million in one fell swoop!

"Chairman Ye, can we go now? " Xia Haiquan asked bitterly.

"Where are you going?" Ye Lingchen looked at him as if he was mentally retarded. "I just spared you your life. You'll be punished according to the law for conspiring with foreign forces!"

Such a crime would have a starting jail term of at least 30 years. If the circumstances were serious, it directly amounted to a capital crime!

As for whether or not Ye Lingchen would be accused of extortion, there was no need to worry at all because the money Ye Lingchen asked for was completely justified.

After dealing with Xia Haiquan, Ye Lingchen got up and walked toward the people from Earth's Gate Dojo who fell on the ground. Killing intent was surging from his body.

The group of people from Earth's Gate must be killed!

"You, don't kill me!" The leader seemed to crumble at that moment. He felt numb and looked at Ye Lingchen as if he was looking at the Demon God. "My brother is a platinum member of Earth's Gate Dojo. He's also in the Capital! If you kill me, he'll definitely avenge my death. When the time comes it won't only be you that my big brother won't spare. He won't let go of the people around you too! "

His words caused Ye Lingchen's eyes to flash with coldness, after which a bloodthirsty curl appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The one thing that Ye Lingchen hated most was when others threatened him using the people around him, and when dealing with such people, he would nip the threat in the bud by fair means or foul!

Ye Lingchen did not lack anything at that point, so he valued those close to him more than anything else!

He raised his hand, grabbed the man's arm at once, and twisted it suddenly!

Crack!

The man's entire arm was bent in a horrifying arc and the pain was so severe that it was hard to even scream.

In addition to the claw technique, the Dragon-Catcher Hand had the ability to separate muscles from bones. If Ye Lingchen wanted to, he could fold a person into a ball using the person's bones and muscles without killing the person.

"He won't spare me?" Ye Lingchen took out his mobile phone and threw it in front of the man, "Call that brother of yours and tell him that I'll wait for him here! "

The leader's face was in so much pain that it was fully distorted, but he looked at Ye Lingchen in bewilderment. His mouth was wide agape and he did not know what Ye Lingchen was trying to say.

He wanted to call his big brother, of course. In his heart, his big brother was almost invincible. The individuals within the entire Earth's Gate venerated his big brother like a god. For that reason, he could still serve as the leader of a team even though his performance was not very good!

The platinum members of Earth's Gate Dojo were second only to that of diamond members, who numbered only a few within the entire Earth's Gate!

When Ye Lingchen asked for his big brother to come over, he viewed it as being no different than courting death.

However, Ye Lingchen was the one who asked to call. Was Ye Lingchen just testing him? Was it just a bluff?

Ye Lingchen did not say a word and folded his leg once, fitting it neatly to the back of his head like a work of origami.

"AGHHHH! "

The leader was trembling all over. Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and quickly rolled down his cheeks.

"Call him!" Ye Lingchen's eyes sank and he ordered coldly.

"I'll call! I'll call!" The leader nodded hurriedly. His voice was faltering and he wanted nothing more than to kneel and beg for mercy right then and there.

The next moment, he made a call and it was connected in just one beep.

"Brother, it's me! "

"Koji, what's the matter?" There was a low and hoarse voice on the other end of the phone.

Koji glanced at Ye Lingchen cautiously, then cried out, " Brother, I... Someone beat me up. Brother... Save me! "

The breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly turned heavy. Koichi knew his brother's character well, and he could tell from the tone and voice that Koichi was obviously being tortured.

"Tell him... " Koichi's voice continued, but Ye Lingchen grabbed the phone and said indifferently, "Tell me what? "

"If you dare to touch a single hair on my brother's head, I'll definitely make you regret it!" Koichi's voice suddenly became cold and harsh.

"Oh? Is that so?" Ye Lingchen smiled coldly, then picked up Koji's arm and twisted it hard!

Crunch!

The bones of his arms were instantly crushed like foam!

Koji's screams were heard again and he nearly fainted from the pain.

"I'm laying a hand on him now? What are you going to do about it?"

There was no other sound on the phone except breathing. Koichi naturally knew what had happened as he was very familiar with the sound of broken bones. At that moment however, the sound originated from his brother!

"Where are you? " Koichi's voice finally came after a long time. Underneath that calmness was a monstrous anger that had been suppressed.

"Heavenly Garden! I'll wait for you for ten minutes! Once the time's up, you can come and collect your brother's body." Ye Lingchen finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Koji stared at Ye Lingchen and his breathing quickened. Under those extremely scared eyes was a deep hatred. As long as his brother showed up, Ye Lingchen would suffer ten times, or even a hundred times, in terms of payback!
