The Crazy Son-In-Law

Gu Baiyi’s gaze sharpened, like two swords piercing directly at Xiao Shun. In an instant, the air at the arena was filled with killing intent. No one could ignore him like this, yet this man in front of him dared to kill someone he had to protect.

Xiao Shun looked at Gu Baiyi with a calm expression, a smirk playing on his lips. At this moment, Gao Qiu and Hai Shengyun, who were previously shocked by Xiao Shun’s power, snapped back to reality. They stared in astonishment at the lifeless body of Yang Zinuo below the arena.

“Xiao Shun… how dare you kill the Deputy Branch Head of Old School Society and violate the rules of the competition. I am revoking your participant status and bringing you back to headquarters for punishment!” Gao Qiu’s face was gloomy as he looked at Xiao Shun, unable to control his anger.

“I killed her because she deserved to die,” Xiao Shun glanced at Gao Qiu casually and continued, “No one can threaten me in front of my face!”

“Outrageous! Today, I will bring you back to headquarters for trial!” Gao Qiu’s entire aura changed, and he activated his energy shield, charging towards Xiao Shun.

At that moment, Gu Baiyi, with a furrowed brow and cold eyes, blocked Gao Qiu with his hand.

“Ghu Baiyi?” Gao Qiu looked puzzled at the figure standing in front of him.

“Yang Zinuo died outside the arena,” Gu Baiyi said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiu was taken aback. Indeed, there were rules for the Hero Cup that prohibited killing on the arena unless under special circumstances. However, there was no rule stating that a life-and-death situation couldn’t happen outside the arena!

Thinking of this, Gao Qiu couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Xiao Shun had gone too far today, to the point of disregarding everyone’s presence. Killing a Deputy Branch Head in front of so many high-ranking members of Old School Society, how could they handle this?

Moreover, if they didn’t take action against Xiao Shun, where would the face of Old School Society go in the future?

With these thoughts in mind, Gao Qiu looked at Gu Baiyi and reminded him, “But she was still the Deputy Branch Head of Old School Society!”

“That can only be blamed on her underestimating her own abilities!” Gu Baiyi shook his head.

It was clear that he was also dissatisfied with Yang Zinuo’s behavior of threatening Xiao Shun earlier. If it weren’t for their superior-subordinate relationship, he wouldn’t even have bothered to protect her. Of course, he wouldn’t have been able to protect her anyway.

Xiao Shun’s reaction was too fast. From the moment he threw Yang Zinuo out of the arena, he had already thrown three silver needles to create a deadly situation. Even if Gu Baiyi’s skills were stronger, he could only watch as Yang Zinuo died before his eyes.

Seeing Gu Baiyi’s lack of intention to retaliate against Xiao Shun, Gao Qiu anxiously said, “But…”

“Enough!” Gu Baiyi waved his hand, cutting off Gao Qiu’s words. Then, he looked at Xiao Shun, who stood calmly not far away. After a moment, he averted his gaze and said to the silent Gao Qiu, “Have someone carry Yang Zinuo’s body away and announce that she is severely injured.”

Since the moment he left the high platform, the big screen in the venue had no longer shown any footage. Coupled with the bustling atmosphere in the venue, the audience couldn’t hear their conversation clearly.

Moreover, Xiao Shun was clever and had directly used hidden weapons to kill Yang Zinuo instead of using thunderous methods, so the audience had no idea about Yang Zinuo’s life or death status.

“Hehe…” Upon hearing Gu Baiyi’s words, Xiao Shun smiled lightly. He knew that Gu Baiyi would never allow this incident of him killing Yang Zinuo to be spread. After all, a Deputy Branch Head being killed in front of Gu Baiyi and many high-ranking members of Old School Society would have a tremendous impact if it were made public. His thoughts were meticulous, and he would never do anything without certainty.

Seeing the mocking smile on Xiao Shun’s face, Gu Baiyi’s expression turned cold. He had already figured out that he had been set up. He absolutely couldn’t let Yang Zinuo’s death be known to the public!

“A well-calculated move,” Gu Baiyi said quietly. His eyes exuded a dense murderous intent as he spoke.

Xiao Shun smirked and did not respond, merely coldly watching as a few Old School Society staff dressed as medical personnel inserted tubes into Yang Zinuo’s body in front of the audience, giving the appearance of rescuing her.

One must admit that when it came to acting, the Old School Society had a great level of professionalism.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Just as Xiao Shun scoffed inwardly, Gu Baiyi continued, his voice cold, “But in the face of absolute power, all calculations are nothing but feeble resistance. Today, you must die!”

As he spoke, Gu Baiyi’s face remained calm, showing no sign of considering Xiao Shun, his former subordinate, a worthy opponent.

Xiao Shun, on the other hand, paid no mind to Gu Baiyi’s words and merely chuckled, “Hehe, I agree with you. In the face of absolute strength, all arrogance is nothing but a joke.”

Observing Xiao Shun’s mocking smile, Gu Baiyi’s expression turned cold as he said, “The second round begins. I await your challenge!”

With that, he, Gao Qiu, and Hai Shengyun returned to the eastern high platform.

Just as Gu Baiyi had returned to the high platform, an elder with white hair and Old School Society’s high-ranking member quickly approached him, indignant and displeased.

“Gu Baiyi, Xiao Shun’s disregard for the authority of the Old School Society is intolerable! When you face him later, you must humiliate him and suppress any discontent!”

“Indeed, Gu Baiyi must not end Xiao Shun’s life too quickly, lest we let that bastard off so easily!” someone seconded.

“To think that our Old School Society, standing in this country for so many years, has never been so disrespected. Not to mention in front of us, killing a Deputy Branch Head! This is beyond outrageous!”

After the outburst, a hot-blooded man clenched his fists tightly.

All the people who spoke were high-ranking members of the Old School Society, mostly Branch Heads, and even some seniors.

Xiao Shun’s provocation against the Old School Society in front of them naturally angered them. If it weren’t for the fact that Gu Baiyi would personally deal with Xiao Shun, they would have gone down earlier to find trouble with him. They couldn’t endure it any longer.

“Rest assured,” facing these excited colleagues, Gu Baiyi nodded lightly and continued, “No one has ever dared to trample on the dignity of the Old School Society like this. Today, I will seek justice for the Old School Society!”

Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved. With Gu Baiyi stepping in, Xiao Shun’s destiny was already sealed in their eyes. Their previous words were just a way to vent their frustration through Gu Baiyi’s actions before Xiao Shun’s demise.

Clearly, Gu Baiyi had agreed to their request just now and was determined to restore the pride of the Old School Society in front of the audience in the upcoming matches.
