This person indeed has some skill!

Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "So I’ve caused you trouble?"

Qi Yan bitterly smiled and said, "I’m not stupid; you saved my daughter. How could this be your fault? I only hate that Zang Tiejun and the Golden Association are so overbearing."

She said, "I’ll go find Elder Mr. Wang, a friend of Zang Tiejun and one of his representatives. Maybe spending some money can smooth things over."

The Qi Family also holds significant power in Golden City, otherwise how could a woman like Qi Yan control such a vast asset of the Li Family?

"Anyway, Scar is dead at my hands. I’ll help you settle this matter."

Gao Xuan said, "However, I’ll need ten more days."

Qi Yan shook her head, "I know you are extraordinary and might have strong martial arts. But alone, you can’t fight Zang Tiejun. I will arrange a boat for you tonight."

At this point, Qi Yan believed in Gao Xuan about seventy to eighty percent. Regardless, Gao Xuan saved her daughter. She couldn’t bear to let him lose his life over this.

"That’s not urgent."

Gao Xuan said indifferently, "You should first inquire about the situation; maybe it’s nothing."

Seeing Gao Xuan insist on staying, Qi Yan was a bit moved. This man was quick to leave but dependable when it mattered.

Qi Yan suddenly felt emotional and hugged Gao Xuan fiercely.

Gao Xuan was a loyal person, willing to help where needed. If a friend needed help, he would naturally assist.

The two rolled together, passionately entwined for a while.

After several rounds, Qi Yan’s passion was fully released, and she calmed down.

Entering a sage-like state, Qi Yan’s mind became much clearer.

She tidied up and changed into a nice dress before hurriedly leaving with a large group.

Gao Xuan wasn’t tired and asked the head maid to prepare a hundred pounds of steak...

The head maid left blushing, not because she hadn’t seen the world, but because Gao Xuan’s strong, lean muscles exuded masculine charm. As a mature woman, she couldn’t resist such a man.

The Qi Family had a ranch, so there was plenty of beef.

Cooking medium-rare steaks was quick. Gao Xuan went to the kitchen, and while two master chefs cooked, he ate, coordinating perfectly.

After eating, Gao Xuan had the chef stew two large pots of beef for breakfast the next morning.

The sudden events made him realize he must accelerate his evolution.

With ample nutrition, he should reach the pinnacle of this world in ten days.

Gao Xuan didn’t return to his room; instead, he went to Qi Yan’s bedroom.

Qi Yan went out to gather information, and he also wanted to hear Zang Tiejun’s reaction.

In this world, mobile phones are the fastest way to spread information. Scar’s group was completely wiped out. It seemed unlikely Zang Tiejun would react quickly.

As Gao Xuan expected, it wasn’t long before Qi Yan returned. She talked to Wang Hao’s father, Wang Quan, but Wang Quan didn’t give her any confirmation, only telling her to wait for news.

In fact, it was three days later when Zang Tiejun got the accurate news that Scar’s group was annihilated.

Zang Tiejun arrived at the riverbank, where the truck had been dismantled into countless pieces, with most removable parts taken away. Even the wheels were gone, leaving only the chassis that couldn’t be moved.

Zang Tiejun paced around the vehicle, hands behind his back. Although days had passed, he could still see patches of dark red blood on the riverbank.

A group of people searched the ground with instruments. A fierce-looking middle-aged woman respectfully stood before Zang Tiejun and said, "Master, Scar’s group finished here. There’s a lot of blood on the ground; initial analysis suggests at least over twenty people’s blood."

"Were the bodies found?" Zang Tiejun asked.

The middle-aged woman shook her head, troubled, "They should have been thrown into the river. It’s unlikely we’ll find them. However, we retrieved two long spears from the riverbed..."

"Do you know who did it?" Zang Tiejun was curious; someone dared to act against his men in Golden City, quite the audacity.

The middle-aged woman said, "We found one of Scar’s underlings. They intended to kidnap Qi Yan’s daughter, which resulted in this situation."

Zang Tiejun slightly frowned, "Qi Yan, does that woman have the guts?"

The middle-aged woman said, "Not very clear, yet. It seems she has a very skilled bodyguard. Rumor says he has an enormous appetite, once consuming a whole roasted cow at once."

"Hmm!?"

Zang Tiejun’s eyes turned cold, "This involves controlling stomach acid secretion. He’s a top expert!"

"This person is called Gao Xuan. He seems to be in his twenties this year." The middle-aged woman wasn’t familiar with Gao Xuan’s situation.

"Qi Blood Embrace Pill. Able to control one’s internal organs."

Zang Tiejun became interested, "Tell Qi Yan to hand this person over, or I’ll wipe out her entire family."

Zang Tiejun’s words were naturally conveyed through Wang Quan.

Wang Quan summoned Qi Yan home, his expression stern, "Ms. Qi, Mr. Zang is very angry this time. He said he would annihilate your entire family."

Qi Yan was startled, "Elder Wang, what should I do?"

Wang Quan extended two fingers, "One, hand Gao Xuan over to Mr. Zang. Two, you must marry into the Wang Family."

Qi Yan’s face turned pale, she pleaded in a low voice, "I don’t want to marry Wang Hao. Can we negotiate another deal?"

The elderly, white-haired Wang Quan smiled kindly, "Rest assured, it’s me who would marry you. Afterward, you’d be Hao’er’s mother..."

Qi Yan felt darkness closing in her eyes, nearly fainting on the spot.
