Everyone present felt their brains weren't processing this!

It was clearly the appearance of an absolute master, and they had been anticipating a confrontation between strong warriors. Yet no one had imagined that the final outcome would turn out like this!

The most shocked had to be Tian Ming and He Changhui!

Tian Ming regarded his master as a God-like figure. The stronger Crick became, the more he idolized him. But now, his idol appeared like a stray dog, kneeling and begging for mercy before the enemy.

Is this still the person I've always worshiped? Is this still my master?

Tian Ming couldn't accept the reality in front of him. However, no matter how unwilling he was, what could he do? Things had already progressed to this point.

"Could it be!"

Suddenly, Tian Ming's eyes widened. He recalled his master's injury and the fear in his master's eyes when mentioning the one who hurt him.

"Was it him who injured my master? How is this possible! He's so young, even younger than me. How could he possess such formidable power?"

Tian Ming wracked his brain but couldn't comprehend the situation before him.

Yet, no one could provide him with an answer. The prestige of the Demon King wasn't something people like him could usually encounter!

"The son of the owner of this casino dared to have designs on my woman, so I'll ensure he'll never commit another crime. Do you still want to meddle?" Ye Qiu said indifferently to Crick.

"No fear, no fear..." Crick quickly waved his hand. If not for the inappropriate setting, he might have applauded. But since He Mingfeng was on good terms with his apprentice, he ultimately refrained from flattering Ye Qiu.

"If that's the case, then why don't you get out of the way?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Crick, meek and timid, quickly cleared the road.

The group of men in black behind him remained in a stunned state throughout. But noticing Crick stepping aside, they too chose to make way.

Ye Qiu, disinterested in the group, pulled Bai Lan's hand and walked off, leaving behind a crowd confused like leaves in the wind.

"Damn it! That Demon King is utterly outrageous!"

Once Ye Qiu had left, Crick was furious, clenching his fists tightly. Though his previous injury was his fault and he could endure it, he truly couldn't tolerate this current humiliation.

To kneel before Ye Qiu in front of his apprentice and so many others!

He vowed he had never experienced such shame in his life before!

Crick was filled with resentment. However, he also knew this situation had entirely surpassed his control, and his own strength was certainly inadequate to oppose the Demon King.

Immediately, without saying anything further, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Crick? How's that task I entrusted you with going? Have you captured Wang Haoran?" As soon as the call connected, an elder's voice resonated through.

"Esteemed Mr. Leonard, I'm truly sorry; I screwed up this task!" Crick's tone was deeply respectful and humble.

"What did you say? Crick, you useless man, I ordered you to capture a person, and you failed. Tell me, what use are you?" The furious voice on the other end nearly made Crick drop the phone in fright.

Yet, Crick dared not retaliate, continuing to keep his tone low as he swiftly explained:

"Mr. Leonard, please hear me out. I ran into a bit of trouble. That Wang Haoran has the Demon King backing him, and I'm no match for the Demon King, so..."

"Fine! Fine! A damned Demon King dares to obstruct saving my grandson's life; you wait there for me. I'll personally lead a team to confront this Demon King. I want to see just how powerful this Demon King is that you've all been praising!" Just like that, Leonard hung up the call, not giving Crick a chance to respond.

Leonard's disdainful behavior didn't make Crick angry; instead, it left him overjoyed.

"Damn Demon King, you just wait. With Mr. Leonard personally coming over this time, let's see how long you can keep up your arrogance!"

Crick's eyes were filled with hatred. To him, it seemed Ye Qiu's good days were numbered!

Crick's change of demeanor didn't go unnoticed by Tian Ming and others, who were all very curious about what had happened and who exactly this Leonard was, to give Crick such confidence?

"Master, who exactly is this Mr. Leonard? Can he really defeat this so-called Demon King?" Tian Ming couldn't help but ask.

"Heh!" Crick sneered upon hearing his apprentice's question, saying:

"In Mr. Leonard's presence, what is this so-called Demon King? Mr. Leonard is one of the Ten Great Villains of Purgatory!"

"What?"

Upon hearing Leonard's background, Tian Ming was immediately shocked, more so filled with joy.

He Changhui knew nothing of Purgatory and quickly asked Tian Ming about the origins of the Ten Great Villains.

"My master is considered a top-tier expert within Purgatory. Yet within Purgatory, there are also the Ten Great Villains, who are Purgatory's top ten experts. You should never underestimate these ten experts. Know that any one of them can easily topple all of Purgatory's top-tier experts!"

Pausing here for a moment, Tian Ming continued: "There are more than a hundred top-tier experts in Purgatory!"

"What!"

He Changhui was shocked, "So does that mean this Leonard is as powerful as a hundred of your masters?"

Speaking like this before his master, Tian Ming worried it might upset him, glancing cautiously at his master!

But he found there was no discontent in his master at all, rather, a face full of admiration, which further indicated Leonard's formidable strength.

Relieved, Tian Ming was then filled with wild joy, "Damn it, soon I want that so-called Demon King to kneel before me and beg for mercy!"

"Exactly, that will definitely happen!"

Crick too tightly clenched his fists, imagining he had already seen Ye Qiu kneeling before him. He vowed the humiliation of today he would repay a hundred, a thousand times over to Ye Qiu!

At this moment, Ye Qiu was unaware of the situation inside Lingtian Casino. He was heading with Bai Lan to Wang Haoran's place.

On the way, he encountered something that left him speechless.

He saw a person.

Thinking for a moment, Ye Qiu said to Bai Lan:

"Lanlan, you go back first; I'll be back soon."

"Alright!"

As long as Ye Qiu didn't mention something, Bai Lan never inquired. For she was a wise woman, knowing which things should be asked and which should not.
