Chapter 116: The Ruthless Bandits Raid the Household!
Outside the door, a startled exclamation rang out.
At the mention of that fearsome name, the once joyful atmosphere of the banquet came to an abrupt halt. Everyone turned stiffly to look.
"Ye Tian?"
"Which Ye Tian?"
"Who else but that Ye Tian!"
Amidst the murmurs of doubt, Ye Tian appeared, accompanied by a group of people, calmly making his way to Sun Wang’s side.
“I’m not here for anything else, just like to stir up trouble. I heard your Sun family wants to eliminate the Ye family—I’d like to join in.”
Sun Wang fell silent, staring at the tall, handsome young man before him.
What was going on? Where had things gone wrong?
Shouldn’t Ye Tian have already been seized by the three powers, or at the very least, beaten to death by a dozen Beidou Realm experts?
Why was he still alive, lively even, and appearing here at the Sun residence?
Or was this all a dream?
Countless thoughts flashed through Sun Wang’s mind in a short time, yet no definite answer came.
Then Ye Tian waved his hand, and one of his followers produced two wooden boxes.
When opened, two bloodied severed heads were revealed.
On the left was Sun Qishan’s, and on the right, Steven Aceves’!
“Steven!” Calvin, who had been drinking with others, reddened with anger upon seeing the head in the box and roared furiously.
“It was you who killed my eldest brother!”
“Yes, it was me. Got a problem with that?” Ye Tian admitted without hesitation, drawing a chilling katana and pressing it against Calvin’s neck.
The blade was Doji-chiri Yasutsuna!
A potent aura of death suppressed Calvin, who had been ready to fight. Despite his wolf-blood’s strong regenerative powers, he trembled before the sword.
What kind of strange blade was this to instill such fear?
Calvin was speechless. His martial cultivation lagged far behind his two elder brothers, and faced with death, he couldn’t even resist.
“Looks like you have no objections.”
Without delay, Ye Tian swung his sword, severing the werewolf’s head. Blood gushed forth uncontrollably.
Then, he turned indifferently to Sun Wang.
“Sun Wang, your Sun family is implicated in the sudden death of a foreign criminal clan and the illegal organization of power. As a Major General of the Dragon Nation, I’m placing you under arrest!”
“Oh, and Sun Wang resisted arrest violently and has now been killed!”
Hearing this, Sun Xian’s eyes widened in shock.
What did “resisted arrest” mean? He hadn’t uttered a word!
Wasn’t this a fabrication?
But Ye Tian gave no chance to respond, swinging his blade again to sever a horrified head.
The Sun family patriarch’s eldest son was dead!
“Men, search thoroughly. Any direct descendants of the Sun family are to be executed immediately. Collateral relatives are to be beaten and expelled.”
“Also, kill all the pets in the house, even shake the eggs to break the yolks.”
“Yes, sir!”
Following orders, ruthless bandits swept through the Sun estate, turning it into chaos.
The wealthy merchants and clan heads present were brutally beaten; leaders were captured and sent to the authorities.
All were now implicated in illegal organizational crimes and faced at least three to five years in prison. By the time they returned, the family would likely have disintegrated—everything changed beyond recognition.
Such punishment satisfied Ye Tian greatly.
After two hours of turmoil, the bandits returned one by one to report.
“Leader, we’ve nearly exterminated the Sun family’s direct line. There are still four children here.”
Wang Zizai, the team leader, pushed forward four similarly aged youths.
“They are all Sun Wang’s offspring.”
Ye Tian nodded, not questioning why Wang had spared them.
Wang Zizai was a soldier with his own principles and had suffered the pain of losing his wife and child. Forcing him to kill was truly inhumane.
“I’ll handle this.”
Ye Tian said as he approached the anxious youths, selecting the eldest. He produced a knife and a piece of candy.
“Which do you choose?”
The boy took the knife from Ye Tian’s hand, eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
“See? He chose the blade, revealing a vengeful heart. This one cannot be spared. Deal with him.”
The bandits shuddered but did not dare disobey. They dragged the screaming boy outside, and soon, silence fell.
Next, Ye Tian faced the second child, offering the same choice.
“What’s your pick?”
“I want… I want the candy…” the second boy trembled as he nervously accepted the candy, managing a tense smile.
“See? This one chose the candy, indicating deep scheming. This one cannot be spared either!”
“Take him out and deal with him.”
Then came the third.
Having witnessed his two brothers’ fates, the third boy shivered. After hesitation, he took both the knife and candy.
“See? How greedy he is. This one cannot be spared!”
The third was dragged away to be dealt with as well.
Finally, Ye Tian approached the youngest.
Though the smallest, he understood his fate and cried out desperately, “I don’t want either! I want nothing!”
“This one’s rebellious by nature and cannot be spared either!”
“Take him out and deal with him!”
With the final order given, Ye Tian turned and laughed as he walked away.
Wang Zizai followed silently.
“Old Wang, I know you dislike my ruthlessness, but remember: if you don’t cut the grass at the root, it will just grow back with the spring breeze.”
“I am the root left by the Ye family. Five years have passed, and I’ve come for revenge.”
“To prevent endless hatred, my decision is to erase all cause and effect!”
“Boss, you don’t need to explain to me. Everyone has different experiences, and thus different decisions.”
Wang Zizai comforted him.
“Besides, those children were vicious and unruly, often bullying others. If left alive, they’d likely turn against us.”
“Don’t try to justify it for me.”
Ye Tian waved his hand, ending the topic.
For him, dealing with the last of the Sun family meant settling all accounts between them.
Yet, the great grudge against the Ye family had not been avenged.
If Sun Qishan hadn’t lied, then the true enemy who killed his family in Central Capital must be the so-called Kyoto Ye family!
But from Gu Qing’er, he had learned that the Central Capital Ye family was a low-profile, secluded clan, rarely interacting with others.
Though their wealth wasn’t remarkable, their family members were extraordinarily powerful!
Just last year, at the 23rd National Martial Arts Youth Tournament, a member of the Ancient Martial Ye family had achieved the championship with an invincible presence!
This spoke volumes about their deep heritage.
A family with such profound roots...
Thinking this, Ye Tian couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.
