No one had time to react.
Bang!
Everyone watched as Liam Li, the Third Young Master of the Hong Kong Li family, was sent flying.
He soared through the air, crashing into several tables and chairs, ending up filthy all over.
"He... he flew..."
Did that kid just hit the Third Young Master of the Hong Kong Li family?
He's nuts! Totally nuts!
Seeing this, everyone froze, their minds blank, standing there in shock, unable to say a word.
They stared at the scene, unable to snap out of their shock.
In Hong Kong, someone actually dared to hit a Li family member!
That slap didn’t just land on Liam Li’s face—it struck at the honor of the entire Li family!
How dare you... how dare you!
Wu Yue’s voice trembled as he rushed over, trying to help Liam Li up from the floor.
Half of Liam Li’s face was already swollen.
Liam Li was dizzy and dazed, his fury rising rapidly.
He turned his head and looked at Evan Lin.
Do you believe it now?
Evan Lin looked at him. "The Hong Kong Li family and Victor Zhou—your combined power is way too weak. Honestly, I’m disappointed."
I’ve been waiting here for you, but none of you managed to figure out who I am?
Evan Lin sighed.
Serena Tong, you’re Angel Epoch’s spokesperson—you must have met Master Lin from Seacrest.
Come on, tell everyone—tell them, is this kid really Master Lin from Seacrest, or is he a fake?
Liam Li was furious.
As long as Serena said this kid was a fake, all their lost face could be restored.
He’s real.
Serena spoke softly: “He is Master Lin from Seacrest.”
He is the Master Lin from Seacrest who has buried Vajra and Pointing-to-Mystery experts, and destroyed Mystic Arts Adepts and Yin-Yang mages.
Buried Vajra and Pointing-to-Mystery experts.
Destroyed Mystic Arts Adepts and Yin-Yang mages!
Just two simple sentences from Serena made Liam Li’s eyes widen in shock.
If you want Vajra experts, money can buy you a batch. But once you reach the Pointing-to-Mystery level, ordinary money won’t cut it.
As for Mystic Arts Adepts and Yin-Yang mages, they’re even more exalted than martial artists.
They’re mysterious and powerful.
In pure fighting power, Mystic Arts Adepts surpass Vajra, and Yin-Yang mages surpass Pointing-to-Mystery.
Grandmaster Victor Zhou is rumored to be a Yin-Yang mage with extremely refined cultivation.
But how old is this Master Lin from Seacrest?
He looked barely twenty.
With his youthful face, he seemed like a student fresh out of school.
He’d just defeated a Vajra Beast King, which was shocking enough. But now, according to Serena, he could take down Pointing-to-Mystery, Mystic Arts Adepts, and Yin-Yang mages!
This was a whole different level—a whole different concept.
You must be crazy!
Liam Li was stunned for a moment, then snapped: “Whether this Master Lin from Seacrest is real or fake, he’s nothing in the eyes of the Li family and Grandmaster Victor Zhou.”
Just a nobody with zero ability, trying to climb up by stepping on the Li family’s name?
Dream on!
Even if the Li family and Grandmaster Victor Zhou leave you hanging here, we couldn’t care less. What can you do about it?
People will just think you’re overreaching, and that you’re not even worth our attention—because the Li family and Grandmaster Victor Zhou are far above you!
Does a tiny ant deserve any attention from us?
It’s nothing but a pipe dream!
Liam Li rattled off his words in rapid succession.
He kept speaking, his gaze locked firmly on Evan Lin.
Everyone nearby fell silent.
But their eyes made their stance clear.
The Hong Kong Li family had been rooted in the city for years, famous for their immense wealth.
Grandmaster Victor Zhou was one of Hong Kong’s three legendary masters. With their sky-high standards, they would never bother with ordinary people.
There had always been challengers hoping to shake Grandmaster Victor Zhou’s position and make a name for themselves—but their fate was always miserable.
No one was surprised.
I understand now.
Evan Lin nodded suddenly.
You understand?
Listening to Evan Lin, Liam Li raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Now you understand?"
Fine. If you’re willing to turn back and serve me from today on, I’ll forgive everything you’ve done so far.
Liam Li spoke with arrogance.
His mouth was swollen, making his words unclear, but as the Third Young Master of the Hong Kong Li family, Liam Li’s attitude was still strong.
Looks like Master Lin from Seacrest finally gave in.
Even if he didn’t want to, what could he do? They’re ignoring him—what else can he do? He can’t just fight his way through, right?
Even if he wanted to fight his way through, if the Li family and Grandmaster Victor Zhou refuse to acknowledge him, he’s stuck. Honestly, they don’t need to bother with him.
Everyone started discussing.
They looked at Evan Lin, their eyes full of sighs and regret.
I understand what I need to do to make the Li family and that so-called Grandmaster Victor Zhou come looking for me.
Evan Lin spoke calmly, his fingertip tracing a circle in the air.
Energy surged.
A strand of energy transformed into an iron chain and shot out instantly.
Liam Li’s face changed dramatically. Seeing this, he tried to turn and run.
But soon, in everyone’s eyes, the energy chain split into two, then into four.
Four chains instantly wrapped Liam Li up completely.
The other end of the chain was held by Evan Lin.
The chain tightened, turning Liam Li’s face ashen.
What are you doing?!
Liam Li’s face went pale with fear. He screamed desperately, trying to break free.
But it was all in vain.
I’m giving your high-and-mighty Li family a reason to come find me.
Evan Lin sneered, holding the chain like a leash, turning and heading for the rooftop.
In everyone’s eyes...
The young man, holding the chain in one hand, dragged the Third Young Master of the Li family forward alone.
