"Give Mr. Ye money to make him leave?" Hoffman stared blankly at the Hall Clan Leader, completely puzzled. Why didn't the Clan Leader see the value in someone as formidable as Ye Qiu?

"That's right, give him money and make him scram. Now, you scram too!" The Hall Clan Leader was furious, pointing to the door while roaring.

"Alright, I'll leave now." Hoffman was still perplexed but didn't dare to contradict the Hall Clan Leader, so he could only turn and leave.

As soon as he left the room, a chubby man stepped out from another small room. He was the butler of the Hall Clan, and after glancing at the Hall Clan Leader, he pondered for a moment, frowned, and said:

"Clan Leader, that person called Ye Qiu, who could defeat the Chieftain, has some skills. In Huaxia, he must be quite a figure. Logically speaking, he is worthy of Mia'er and might even be of some help to us. Why did you reject him so decisively?"

"Hmph!" The Hall Clan Leader waved dismissively, sneering with a cold expression: "Don't you know the Hall Clan's current situation? We've been tormented by the Cliff Clan to the brink of defeat, and even other forces have joined the Cliff Clan's ranks, preparing to divide us up at the crucial moment. Do I have the time to worry about someone like Ye Qiu?

Besides, that person called Ye Qiu is just good at fighting. Our clan has plenty like him; what good is one more? What we need now is someone who can save the clan from its perilous situation, and Ye Qiu can't do that, he's just a waste!"

"I understand." The butler nodded slightly, saying no more.

Meanwhile.

Ye Qiu and Mia'er had finished dinner and returned to the Hall Clan, staying in a room that had been arranged for them.

Not long after, Hoffman came looking for them.

"Mr. Ye." He stared at Ye Qiu for a long time, then sighed, helplessly saying: "Actually, I really support you being with Miss Mia'er, and I've tried, but it was no use.

The Hall Clan Leader doesn't want to see you and even said he would give you a sum of money to leave Huaxia immediately and not stay with Miss Mia'er."

"Hmm?" Ye Qiu frowned, his expression immediately darkening.

They're going to pay me off?

The Hall Clan Leader is actually planning to do this!

All these years, no one has ever dared to treat me like this!

Ye Qiu felt a bit angry.

However, he eventually suppressed his anger, not wanting too intense a conflict with the Hall Clan, as it was Mia'er's family.

"Ye Qiu, what should we do?"

Mia'er was also anxious, constantly shaking Ye Qiu's arm, asking nervously.

"What else can we do?" Ye Qiu shook his head, smiling bitterly, "Seeing the Hall Clan Leader's stance, there's almost no hope for negotiation. I might as well take you back to Huaxia directly. As long as I'm around, no one can forcefully take you back to the United States."

"Okay!" Mia'er agreed without hesitation, resolutely saying, "We'll try again. If the family still doesn't agree to us being together, I'll go back to Huaxia with you directly!"

"I also agree to wait a little longer," Hoffman interjected, saying, "Mr. Ye, you know the Hall Clan's situation is very difficult right now. The Clan Leader probably spoke like that because he's in a bad mood, maybe he'll calm down in a couple of days."

After speaking, Hoffman gave Ye Qiu a worried look, thinking that the family better not get into a conflict with Mr. Ye, or else both sides would surely suffer.

Ye Qiu sensed his thoughts as well, smiled, and said, "It's settled then. We'll wait one more day. If the Clan Leader remains stubborn and unwilling to meet me, then I'll take Mia'er and leave."

"Mr. Ye, you might really think I talk too much, but I still have to say this: you must remain calm about this matter."

Hoffman gave his advice and then turned and left.

Afterward, Mia'er suddenly darted over, locked the door, then turned and leaped into Ye Qiu's arms, hugging his neck.

The air turned ambiguous and romantic, instantly enveloping the entire space.

An intimate night.

The next day.

Early in the morning, a knock on the door sounded, followed by Emma's voice, "It's me, Emma."

"Sister!" Mia'er called out, excitedly running over to open the door.

Emma saw Mia'er's radiant face and couldn't help shaking her head, helplessly saying, "You already know father's attitude, and you're still causing such a scene in the family. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Afraid of what?" Mia'er straightened up, confidently saying, "No matter what happens, I belong to Ye Qiu!"

After saying this, she immediately snuggled up to Ye Qiu's arm affectionately.

"Alright." Emma rolled her eyes at Mia'er, then changed the subject, "I'm too lazy to bother with you. I'm here today because I heard from Hoffman that you plan to wait another day. In that case, why don't I take you to the Archery Club to have some fun?"

"Ye Qiu, do you want to go?" Mia'er looked up, her big eyes blinking at Ye Qiu with a hint of anticipation and excitement.

"Yes, let's go." Ye Qiu readily agreed.

Mia'er was eager to leave, clearly not wanting to stay in the family, and he felt the same way.

The group set off without further ado, heading to the Archery Club.

"Sigh!"

After leaving the family for a short while, Emma let out a heavy sigh, her face filled with worry.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qiu casually asked.

"What else?" Emma shook her head, helplessly saying, "It's still about the family's situation. I just received news when I went to find you; many clans that were hesitant before have now joined the Cliff Clan, preparing to take a slice out of our Hall Clan. The family's situation is truly becoming more difficult with each passing moment."

With that, Emma gave Ye Qiu a deep look.

Ye Qiu nodded slightly, not saying much. He could tell that there was a hint of plea in Emma's eyes, but he truly didn't want to involve himself in these family power struggles within the United States.

Over twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the Archery Club.

As soon as they arrived, Emma and Mia'er were ecstatic, holding hands and playing off to the side.

Ye Qiu casually found a place to sit and started drinking a beverage.

Emma and Mia'er seemed to be having a great time, with bursts of laughter reaching Ye Qiu's ears from time to time.

Suddenly, an extremely discordant voice broke the joyous atmosphere.

"Hahaha, aren't these the Hall Clan's Emma and Mia'er sisters? Your family's about to crumble, and you're still in the mood to come to a place like this to play, and having such a good time at that?"

Not far away, a red-haired young man led a group over, swaggering with arrogance.

Seeing these people, the smiles on Emma and Mia'er's faces disappeared instantly.

Especially Emma, her face turned extremely stiff!

The ones causing the trouble were the young heirs of some of the major families in the United States, led by the red-haired one named David. He gave Emma a disdainful look, then turned his mocking gaze to Mia'er.

"Oh, isn't this the little... half-sister!"
