That voice!

Wang Heyang was immediately overjoyed. "Hahaha! Kid, you're finished!" he laughed. "My cousin, Wang Quan, has arrived. You're dead for sure!"

Everyone turned to look. They saw a tall, handsome young man walking over.

It was Wang Quan, the most outstanding individual of the Wangs' younger generation! He had arrived. He had no bodyguards because he himself was an expert at the Hidden Force level and needed no protection.

To reach the Hidden Force at eighteen was as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin's horn in all of China.

"Cousin! Cousin!" Wang Heyang knelt on the ground, shouting, "This man insulted our family and made me kneel! He's showing no respect for the Wangs whatsoever!"

The onlookers regarded Qin Heng with pity. Wang Quan's status in the Wang family was second only to the Family Head. Now that he had arrived, anyone who insulted the Wangs was bound to suffer dire consequences.

This kid is doomed!

"Kneel and beg for mercy. You might just save your life."

"So ignorant! Thinking he can act lawlessly just because he knows a little martial arts. Laughable!"

"The Wangs! Wang Quan! This kid hasn't just kicked an iron plate; he's kicked a steel one! He's dead for sure!"

The crowd sneered.

Ai Shan Shan's pretty face turned deathly pale. Although she had only stepped into this circle a few days ago, she knew what the Wangs and Wang Quan represented, and their standing in Tianhai.

Among the four great families of Tianhai, the Wangs were paramount! Even the powerful families of Beijing treated the Wangs as equals. This was a family with hundreds of years of heritage, a family whose wealth could rival a nation and whose influence was boundless!

Wang Quan was almost certainly the next head of the Wang family!

"Mr. Qin Heng, what should we do? What should we do?" Ai Shan Shan grew flustered. She was terrified that Qin Heng would suffer a gruesome death for offending the Wangs!

The Wangs are just too powerful!

"Kid, just you wait to die!" Wang Heyang, seeing Wang Quan approach with a stern expression, immediately pictured Qin Heng on his knees, terrified and begging for mercy.

Thus, Wang Heyang tried to stand up to join Wang Quan in punishing Qin Heng.

However, as Wang Quan passed him, he simply pressed a hand on Wang Heyang's shoulder and said coolly, "Stay kneeling!"

BANG!

Wang Heyang, who had just started to lift his knee, slammed it back onto the ground, forced to kneel again.

Suddenly, everyone froze.

What's going on?

Wang Heyang was also dumbfounded. "Cousin," he stammered, "what are you doing...?"

Wang Quan bowed respectfully to Qin Heng. "Mr. Qin, I apologize for the disturbance."

He and the Qin Heng of old had been good friends. But now, their statuses were worlds apart.

A Martial Arts Grandmaster, in this secular world, in China, was enough to dominate an entire region! Even a centuries-old family had to be utterly respectful and dared not offend a Grandmaster. The Chen family's fate was a stark warning!

Qin Heng smiled and nodded. Pointing at Wang Heyang, he said indifferently, "Wang Quan, it's been a while. Your Wang family made promises in the past. You shouldn't have forgotten them."

"Why? Why!?" Wang Heyang stared at Wang Quan in disbelief, exclaiming in shock, "You—you're Wang Quan! The future head of the Wang family! How can you... to this trash-picking, poor wretch—"

SLAP!!

A crisp sound echoed.

Wang Quan slapped Wang Heyang across the face, his expression turning utterly cold as he snarled, "Kneel and kowtow in apology to Mr. Qin! Immediately! Now!"

A Hidden Force strike, even if not meant to kill, still carried the force of a thousand pounds! How could Wang Heyang, a rich young master practically hollowed out by debauchery, withstand such a terrifying blow?

He was sent flying on the spot, crashing through the onlookers! He flew seven or eight meters before hitting the ground, then skidded another four or five meters before stopping. It felt as if every bone in his body was about to shatter.

Wang Heyang lay on the ground, screaming in agony, blood gushing from his mouth.

"Wang Quan! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're powerful and influential!" Wang Heyang, consumed by fury, lost all reason and roared, "Who the hell do you think you are, hitting me! This trash-picker insulted me, insulted the Wangs! And you, you damn bootlicker, you're actually kowtowing to this waste! Hitting me for this piece of trash? What kind of Wang Quan are you! Bullshit! You despicable cur!"

"Shut up!" Wang Quan, terrified, his blood running cold, leaped forward. He charged to Wang Heyang, grabbed him, and dragged him back. Returning before Qin Heng, he forced Wang Heyang down again, pressing his head to the ground.

"Mr. Qin, I'll make him kowtow and admit his mistake right now!" Wang Quan held Wang Heyang down. No matter how much Wang Heyang struggled, he couldn't budge. Even Wang Quan himself knelt on one knee, his demeanor utterly respectful.

The surroundings fell utterly silent.

Heavens! Wang Quan actually knelt before this trash-picker too! How is this possible!?

Everyone was stunned, staring incredulously at the seated Qin Heng.

Qin Heng, however, remained perfectly composed, seemingly paying no heed to Wang Quan and Wang Heyang kneeling before him. He simply continued to peel a piece of fruit leisurely.

The very air seemed to congeal. Not a soul dared to utter a sound.

Ai Shan Shan was petrified, her beautiful eyes wide as she stared at Qin Heng in utter disbelief, shocked to her core.

In her eyes, Wang Heyang was already a colossus, a man of immense influence! There weren't many such people in all of Tianhai. As for Wang Quan, he was a legendary genius, one of the few who stood at the apex of Tianhai! She, a newcomer to this circle of wealth, wasn't even qualified to look up to such a person.

But now, both of them were kneeling before Qin Heng!

Incredible! This is simply unbelievable!

"Wang Quan, you wish to save him?" Qin Heng swallowed a grape and said coolly, "Do you think that his actions just now—kneeling and kowtowing in apology—are enough to atone for his transgressions?"

Kneeling, Wang Quan's body stiffened. A long silence passed before he spoke. He took a deep breath. "Yes, Mr. Qin. Your perception is truly sharp; nothing escapes your notice. Wang Heyang, despite his flawed character, possesses considerable business acumen. He is still of some benefit to the Wangs."

Qin Heng sneered. "Then did it not occur to you that saving him would mean offending me? That's not what Wang Nanzuo said back then, and the message you relayed from him at the time wasn't like this either."

"Yes! Mr. Qin, I understand," Wang Quan lowered his head, daring not show the slightest hint of defiance.

A Martial Arts Grandmaster! A single individual capable of suppressing an ancient family! This was no mere boast!

The Wang family's centuries-old legacy must not be destroyed by his actions! As for Wang Heyang... he only had himself to blame!

"The Divine Dragon of Nanyang, Hong Tianshu, has reached the peak of the Transcendence Realm! He's coming to Tianhai in ten days to kill Qin Heng!?" Suddenly, an exclamation pierced the silence. It was Yun Feng, who had earlier been so terrified he had knelt on the ground. He was staring at a message on his phone, his expression shifting rapidly.

Then, he actually scrambled to his feet, pointed at Qin Heng, and cackled, "Hahaha! You're finished! You're finished! So what if you're arrogant now? Once the Divine Dragon of Nanyang arrives, you'll be beaten to death instantly!"
