Bai Kang laughed.

It was a cold laugh.

In the ranks of the Five Great Families, he, Bai Kang, indeed was not considered a significant figure.

But outside, who wouldn't address him as Mr. Bai! Mr. Bai!

Yet a mere inspector from the Yangshen Hall dared to disregard him like this!

If it were a captain or a deputy captain under the Yangshen Hall, Bai Kang might have had to weigh his options.

But what was an inspector?

Under one hall, one team, five deputies, ten reserve deputies.

Even a Reserve Deputy Captain was not worth his consideration, let alone a mere inspector?

Regardless of whether Shan Sichen was making up nonsense or that inspector really spoke such arrogant words,

As long as Shan Sichen had already publicly uttered those words, whether or not that little inspector had insulted him, he'd treat it as if he did!

Bai Kang still cared about his face!

Seeing that quite a few people were looking over due to the disturbance, Bai Kang gave a look to those who had stood up and slammed the table.

Only then did his followers sit down, but their angry expressions did not vanish.

"Mr. Bai Kang, that little inspector is truly seeking death; he has no idea whom he's provoked!"

"Mr. Bai Kang, shall I take care of this matter? I'll vent your anger for you, and make sure to settle it smoothly and firmly!"

The speaker was Lin Xiweng.

Not everyone from the Five Great Families had it good.

Like Lin Xiweng, who didn't fare well in his own family and could only be considered at the bottom.

If he could curry favor with Bai Kang, in the future, he'd have more opportunities.

But there were still some people present who weren't impulsive.

Compared to those eager to show off, these individuals were more reserved.

Someone asked at that moment.

"What's the name of that inspector? What's his background, to be so presumptuous!"

At this question, many around pricked up their ears, showing a significantly increased interest.

Picking sides had no issue.

But one must pick sides intelligently.

Should they encounter someone they shouldn't provoke, blindly picking sides was a death wish.

Lin Xiweng, who was eager to show off a moment ago, suddenly came to his senses, nervously looking towards Shan Sichen.

If that inspector had a significant background, wouldn't boasting like this be courting death?

However, having been sent to the Yangshen Hall as an inspector, he probably didn't have any substantial background, right?

Those of the Five Great Families had a natural advantage when dealing with outsiders, but even among those at the bottom echelons of the families, there were still many they couldn't afford to provoke. The crowd's gaze focused on Shan Sichen, Bai Kang was no exception.

Although Bai Kang was arrogant, he also understood pros and cons.

He didn't want to be careless for a moment and encounter a formidable character, or to cause a blunder as great as a flood hitting the Dragon King's temple.

Therefore, it was necessary to probe for information.

Feeling the pressure from the many gazes, Shan Sichen grew stressed.

In truth, on his way here, he had thought about Diao Deyi's background, but he genuinely had no impression.

Seeing everyone asking, he quickly replied.

"Reporting to you, sir, the inspector's name is Diao Deyi. His background is unknown. He seems to be quite close with the prison guard woman; probably her new sweetheart!"

Diao Deyi?

The crowd looked at each other, completely unfamiliar with the name, they hadn't even heard of this person.

Since they had never heard of him, it meant the man had no background. Otherwise, with so many well-connected people present, at least some information should have been known.

The crowd visibly relaxed.

"It's probably just a pretty boy that Qian Guxing, after being a top-grade prison guard for too long, casually picked up at the Yangshen Hall."

Bai Kang sneered.

Without a background and not even of deputy captain level at the Yangshen Hall, murderous intent had risen in Bai Kang's heart.

Where could the others not see Bai Kang's thoughts? Only Shan Sichen, recalling Diao Deyi's behavior in prison, turned pale and began trembling slightly.

"Mr. Bai Kang, that guy doesn't seem like just a pretty boy. He's crazy! Not only did he execute a prisoner right in front of me, but he also drew out a demon, completely like a madman! Thinking about it now, my hand is still trembling..."

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads slightly.

No insight at all!

Didn't they realize that Mr. Bai Kang was already set on killing, and now this would only boost the other's morale?

Without a background, what does it matter how strong he is? Besides, how powerful can an inspector be?

Sure enough, Bai Kang glared furiously.

"Waste! Scared like that by a mere inspector! What's his name? Diao Deyi, right? Tomorrow I'll get someone to end him! Then you'll take the chance to pressure Qian Guxing, make her come see me, understand?"

Shan Sichen dared not disobey and immediately knelt to accept the order.

"Yes... Yes!"

The surrounding people, having grasped the situation, naturally would not miss such an opportunity to perform.

"Mr. Bai Kang, don't be angry; killing an inspector should not trouble you to take action. Let us handle it!"

"That's right, let us lower ranks handle it. Killing that kind of guy would dirty Brother Bai's hands!"

Seeing his followers elevating him so, Bai Kang was quite pleased.

He laughed and took a drink amidst the cheer.

But no one noticed that someone was approaching their table at a fast pace.

As their atmosphere was getting heated...

Slam!!!

A large hand suddenly slammed down onto the table.

"Who just now... said they want to kill my brother Diao Deyi?"

Who?!

What person!

Absolutely clueless!

Around the table, some raised their eyebrows, some gave sidelong glances, some looked furious, all turning their gaze towards the newcomer.

But just one look caused everyone ready to speak to freeze in terror, their ready proclamations stuck in their throats, unable to utter half a sound.

Instead, it was Bai Kang who was the first to snap back to reality.
