Chapter 27: With a stick of incense, I countdown to you!

The booming voice exploded throughout the entire Jiang family hall. Everyone in the venue was stunned. Swish! At this moment, Fern couldn't help but leave the chief seat and rushed in front of Ben, angrily shouting, "Ben, put away your impulsive temperament. Right now, everyone does not think you are impressive, it only makes you seem ignorant, understand?" "Jiang Bei is not Jiang Bei, nor is it Jiang Nan. Even if you bring the entire Lei family over, in Jiang Bei, you can only barely rank within the top five. Jiang Bei is not a place you can pretend to dominate. Do exactly as I say now!" "Without my backing, you cannot afford the consequences. Understand?!" Ben stared at Fern, his demeanor indifferent, "What I, Ben, intend to do, no one can stop! Nor do I need your backing!" His voice was not loud, but it was full of determination. Seeing such a resolute Ben, Fern knew she could not stop this man. She then sighed deeply, "Why is your temperament so arrogant?! Eh, you have to hit the south wall before you are willing to turn back. In the end, isn't it still me who has to clean up your mess?" "Ben, today you want to cause trouble, fine! I'll let you do it. No matter how big of a trouble you cause, I will save your life. But, after today, you should leave my daughter." Having said that, Fern stepped aside. In her eyes, disappointment was written all over. Ben calmly stated, "Fern, although you have been harsh to me, you are trying to help me in your way. For this, I call you Aunt Fern." "But, you do not understand me, Ben." After speaking, Ben stepped forward with his hands behind his back, "I've said, I came here today only to eliminate Jiang Bei entirely. Initially, your Jiang family was not involved, but since your Jiang family insists on me kneeling in public... then, I will start with your Jiang family to eliminate Jiang Bei." "Aiden, use whatever tricks you have." As soon as these words were spoken, there was immediate laughter throughout the hall. "What, this guy wants to eliminate Jiang Bei entirely?! Has he lost his mind?" "Him? Eliminate Jiang Bei? What a joke." "I thought today we could only see a lunatic kneeling, but now... there's a good show to watch." "With General Manager Aiden sitting in Jiang Bei, and his wife, Lucy Zhang being the younger sister of General Christian Zhang. Backed by General Zhang, General Manager Aiden has dominated Jiang Bei for years. No one dares to provoke. Today, a joker has appeared..." Sitting in the wheelchair, Heber Jiang roared with laughter, "Eliminate Jiang Bei? Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life! Today, I'm going to kill you!!!!" Just then… Swish! Ben suddenly appeared in front of Heber, his eyes cold, "Heber, the legs I, Ben, have cut off, how can you reattach them?" Everything happened too fast. Everyone didn't see clearly how Ben appeared next to Heber Jiang. Heber panicked, "Ben, what do you want? I am the number one young master of Jiang Bei! My father is Aiden, my uncle is Christian. You better kneel down before me..." Before he could finish, Ben had already grabbed his neck. With force, a squeeze. Crack! The neck shattered. Dead! Although Heber was dead, his eyes were still wide open, as if he couldn't believe that Ben dared to kill him in front of everyone! With his left hand behind his back and his right hand holding Heber's corpse, Ben's gaze swept over the laughing elites of the hall. "Now, do you still find it amusing?" The entire venue was shocked! No one expected that Ben would dare to execute the number one young master of Jiang Bei in public. A chilling sensation swept through everyone. Bang! Ben casually threw Heber's corpse at the feet of Aiden. "Aiden, you wanted me to kneel and admit my wrongs to your son. So, I killed your son. Are you satisfied?" Aiden stood up furiously. "Scoundrel!!!" "Dare to kill my son, I will tear you to pieces!" "Wolf King!" As soon as these words were spoken. The red-faced man sitting on the left side was the Wolf King. Seeing the Wolf King stand up, he said, "Where are my disciples of the Wolf Sect?" In an instant! More than a dozen men with high spirits rushed into the hall from outside, surrounding Ben. Each of them was holding a long knife, looking fierce and menacing. The atmosphere of killing filled the entire hall, suffocating. The leading four strong men were even more so "Discipline, present!" "The Four Kings, present!" The Wolf King waved his hand grandly, "Aiden is my big brother. Ben dares to offend my big brother, die!" "The Four Kings, kill him!" At the command. The Four Kings took the lead, holding long knives, slashing towards Ben. The ten men behind them followed closely. The killing intent was sky-high! At this moment… "Stop!" A cold voice came through, followed by a series of rapid footsteps. Numerous men in black burst through the Jiang family's gate, entering in a single file. Leading them was Colin Chen. "Who dares to move Mr. Xiao, is declaring enmity with Colin!" Seeing this situation, the Four Kings and the ten-strong men stopped halfway. Colin, the richest man in Zhonghai five years ago, later offended some significant figures for unknown reasons. Chen's assets shrank by seventy to eighty percent. During the Chen family's most difficult times, Douglas Ye came to oppress them, almost annihilating the Chen family. But Colin's influence was still there. Without extraordinary means, how could he have once sat on the throne of Zhonghai's richest man? Swish! Aiden furiously exclaimed, "Colin, last night at the Emgrand Bar, you were protecting this troublemaker. Today, you dare to come again? Are you declaring war against my Jiang family?" Colin strode into the hall, saluted Ben, then faced Aiden Jiang's gaze, "If you move against Mr. Xiao, you are my enemy, Colin." Aiden sneered, "If it were five years ago, I might have feared you a little. Unfortunately, five years ago, you offended someone you shouldn't have. Your assets shrank by seventy to eighty percent. Later, you were smashed by Douglas, and your assets shrank again. Now, the Chen family's power is less than one-tenth of what it was five years ago. What can you use to oppose me?" Colin stood upright next to Ben, his gaze determined, "Although the Chen family has fallen, this old man can still fight." At that moment! Swish, swish, swish! Hundreds of men in black surged from behind, surrounding Ben. Each one possesses considerable strength, cold and ruthless. Even more so, there's an air of indifference towards death, a steely resolve. Ben was slightly moved. It's been almost ten days since I arrived in Zhonghai City, and I've met quite a few big shots. However, it's the first time I've seen a fearless, iron-blooded team. Colin, the former richest man, has something special. "The trump card of the Chen family, the Black Blood Guard!" Aiden frowned, "I've heard long ago that the rapid rise of the Chen family was due to the Black Blood Guard eliminating their rivals, eventually helping you ascend to the throne of the richest man. Five years ago, you offended a major figure, and eighty percent of the Black Blood Guard was annihilated. Even the leader of the Black Blood Guard was captured. Since then, the Chen family has declined." "I didn't expect that, after five years, your Chen family still had hundreds of Black Blood Guard members left." As soon as these words came out. All the big shots in the room gasped in shock. The name Black Blood Guard. Was definitely once the nightmare of all the big shots in Zhonghai. Being the richest man, on the surface, means reaching the pinnacle of wealth. But behind this glamour, there's bloodshed and killing, the flash of knives and swords. It's just that ordinary people can't see it. Colin said coldly, "Aiden, at least your eyes aren't poor. These Black Blood Guard members have only returned in the last two days. Today, my Chen family's Black Blood Guard vows to protect Mr. Xiao to the death!" Clang! A hundred Black Blood Guard members drew their swords simultaneously. "Vow to protect Mr. Xiao to the death!" Their voices thundered, and their morale was robust! All the big shots in the room were actually silenced. "Good, very good!!" Aiden said furiously, "A fallen scion of the Xiao family from Longshan offending me is forgivable. Now even a fallen richest man of Zhonghai dares to be presumptuous in my Jiang family's territory!" "Is my dignity something you can offend?!" "Wolf King, trouble you to immediately summon five hundred elites from the underground Wolf Sect of Jiangdong." "Tiger King, please call three hundred elite underground boxers from Jiangdong over." "Today, I will not only annihilate the fallen scion of the Xiao family from Longshan but also eradicate the presumptuous former richest man of Zhonghai along with him!" After saying this… "Okay!" The Wolf King and Tiger King immediately stood up and then made calls for reinforcements. After making the calls, both responded. "Mr. Zhang, rest assured, my Wolf Sect's five hundred elites will arrive in fifteen minutes." "Mr. Zhang, my boxing ring's three hundred top underground boxers will be here in fifteen minutes!" Aiden finally nodded in satisfaction, sat back down, poured himself a glass of red wine, and slowly savored it, "Ben, you previously dominated both south and north of the river, merely relying on Vivian Zhou. But in Jiangdong, my brother-in-law is Christian. Even if Vivian himself came here, he couldn't outmatch my brother-in-law!" "Today, Vivian is not here. All you rely on is Colin. And all Colin relies on is these hundred Black Blood Guard members. Once the Wolf Sect and the boxing ring elites arrive, it will be your time of death!" "Your life is only left with the last fifteen minutes! Take a good look at this beautiful world. After all, in fifteen minutes, you won't be able to see it anymore." "Fifteen minutes?" Ben suddenly laughed, glancing sideways. Next to the wall, there was a statue of Guan Gong being worshipped. There was also an incense burner, offerings, etc., on the table. Ben slowly walked over, cleaned the incense burner, then took an incense stick, lit it, and slowly inserted it into the incense burner. "Aiden, I give you the time of one incense stick. After one incense stick, I will annihilate Jiangdong, and from then on, there will be no Jiang family." His voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the room. Aiden, seated at the head, sipped his red wine and sneered, "I give you fifteen minutes, yet you give me the time of one incense stick. Do you know, it takes two hours for this incense stick to burn out. What, are you going to turn into a ghost to catch me? Hahaha!" Ben coldly said, "No. To kill you, I don't need to light incense, half a second is enough! This incense stick includes Christian Zhang as well!" "This incense stick is the countdown for the entire Jiangdong." His voice was not loud, but his presence was overwhelming. One person, one incense stick. A countdown for the entire Jiangdong?! For many years, Jiangdong had not seen such a presumptuous person! "I've seen madmen, but I've never seen a madman as ignorant of the heavens and earth as you. You're becoming more and more like a jumping clown. In a while, I'll see how you end. Hahaha!" Not long after. Tap tap tap! Outside the door, uniform footsteps were heard. The steps were heavy and powerful, intimidating. On the left, a group of brawny men in black suits surged into the plaza outside the Jiang family's hall like a tide. A full five hundred people. The underground Wolf Sect's five hundred elites! On the right, three hundred muscular men rushed into the scene, pouring in like a flood. Three hundred elite underground boxers from Jiangdong! The so-called underground boxers are those who fight in illegal bouts daily. The champions active in the official boxing world are merely stars. But the underground boxers fight without any rules, only distinguishing between victory and defeat, life and death. These are the real strong ones who have emerged from life-and-death battles. A total of eight hundred people completely surrounded the hall, making it impregnable. Aiden laughed triumphantly, "Ben, even if you have the Chen family's Black Blood Guard, what's the use? Can a hundred Black Blood Guard defeat my eight hundred elites from Jiangdong's underground?" "Wolf King, Tiger King, kill them!" The Wolf King ordered, "Wolf Sect's five hundred elites, on my command, kill!" The Tiger King roared, "Kill!" Boom boom boom! Eight hundred experts, all revealing their weapons, charged towards Ben to kill him. This momentum scared everyone in the room. Even though they were from influential families and had seen bloodshed, they had never witnessed such a large-scale violent confrontation. Is this the foundation and fangs of the Jiang family in Jiangdong? Terrifying to this extent! Who would dare to be enemies with the Jiang family? Ben, Colin... dead beyond dead. However, at this moment, Colin showed no fear but became even colder, "Black Blood Guard, on my command, vow to protect Mr. Xiao to the death!" Hundreds of Black Blood Guard members, ready for battle with their swords. Facing eight hundred strong enemies, not a single one retreated. Fern pulled Pearl aside, unable to hide her shock. She was about to speak... Just then, Ben suddenly said, "Master Chen, step back!" Colin did not retreat, "Mr. Xiao, fighting for you is an honor for my family!" Ben, with a face full of compassion, said, "I appreciate your sentiment. I acknowledge you as a friend. The Black Blood Guard fears neither life nor death, they are brave warriors. But the life of a brave warrior is especially precious. Some blood need not be shed." After speaking, Ben stepped forward and scanned the entire room, "Very well! Initially, I had no intention of involving the Wolf Sect and the boxing world. But since you have treated me this way, there's no need for you to live!" Aiden roared, "Still tough-talking at the brink of death! Ben, besides talking big, you're good for nothing." "Is that so?" Ben raised his hand towards the entrance, "See for yourselves. Open your eyes wide and look, what is that?" Everyone turned their heads to look. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! To everyone's surprise, they all stood up, staring in disbelief.
