"Haha, are you Hou Zhi?" Ye Hao asked with a cold and mocking voice.

Though Hou Zhi was held by Ye Hao with one hand, having grown up in the Hou Family, he had seen all kinds of scenes. To him, Ye Hao seemed to be all show with no real power, and once intimidated, would surely release him obediently.

"So what if I am? Bastard, let go of me, or I'll show you what cruelty really means." Hou Zhi sneered at Ye Hao, not at all concerned that Ye Hao dared to kill him right now.

"Crack!" Ye Hao exerted force with his hand, and everyone clearly heard a snapping sound, making them all look at Hou Zhi's neck...

Hou Zhi felt a sudden breaking and crushing sensation at his neck where Ye Hao was applying pressure. A trace of terror flashed in his eyes, but considering his status, he became even more arrogant.

"Ah! Let go of me! Do you know who I am, bastard?" Hou Zhi shouted loudly, the pain in his throat becoming even more piercing amidst his roar.

"Bang!"

Ye Hao kicked Hou Zhi three meters away, causing the entire hall to become chaotic as his flying body knocked things around haphazardly.

It was only then that everyone snapped out of it. Shangguan Longyi hurried forward to check on Hou Zhi, discovering that Hou Zhi had a mark on his throat, a big footprint on his chest, and blood coming from his mouth, looking very miserable.

However, Ye Hao knew that such injuries were just minor wounds to Hou Zhi, unable to cause him any real harm. The only reason Hou Zhi didn't get up after being kicked by Ye Hao was because he felt ashamed and humiliated.

"Are you okay?" Although Shangguan Longyi wasn't familiar with Hou Zhi, he didn't want any major incidents to occur at his sister's birthday party.

"I'm fine!" Hou Zhi was helped up by Shangguan Longyi.

At this moment, Chen Shuyan came over to Ye Hao and scoffed, "What are you doing? Why attack people? Did he offend you?"

Ye Hao glanced disdainfully at Hou Zhi.

"Does he deserve it? Those who offend me usually end up spending their time in jail. I would actually welcome him to offend me."

Ye Hao's words instantly made everyone present feel he was extremely arrogant. Although they were all the heirs of powerful families under the emperor's foot, they were generally low-key in their actions. No one dared to be as overt as Ye Hao. After all, despite being princes, there was still a real prince above them.

Every family has its pillar, just like the Hou Family, where the eldest in the younger generation is at the fifth level of National Martial Arts. The Shangguan Family's Shangguan Longyi is also at the fifth level. Although their strength is insignificant in the whole of Huaxia, they have strong backing, allowing them to comfortably reach higher levels and lead their family to greater prosperity in the future.

"Hmph! You're unreasonable. Today is Long Yi's birthday, and you're causing trouble. Aren't you afraid others will call you reckless and have you taken to the police station?" Chen Shuyan said a little angrily.

Though she wasn't familiar with Ye Hao, Ye Hao had helped her before, and she hoped to return the favor.

"I don't care whose birthday it is; those who bully my brothers deserve a beating." Ye Hao waved his hand to stop Chen Shuyan from speaking further and walked step by step towards Hou Zhi.

Hou Zhi, seeing Ye Hao wanting to bully him further, cursed loudly, "You damn bastard, you want to play? Do you want to die? Just wait, I'm calling for backup." With that, Hou Zhi actually took out his phone to call for help.

Ye Hao didn't stop him either.

Once the call connected, Hou Zhi yelled into the phone, "Brother, I got bitten by a dog at Nishang Club, come quickly." With that, Hou Zhi hung up the phone.

"Just wait, brat, you damn bastard..." Hou Zhi believed that earlier it was because Ye Hao caught him off guard that he couldn't resist, but now Ye Hao wouldn't find it easy to grasp his neck again.

Ye Hao took a deep drag on his cigarette, then suddenly, a loud slapping sound echoed among the crowd unaware of the situation.

"Slap!"

The sound was very loud, but no one knew who got hit, even Hou Zhi was stunned, wondering who had hit him. But the next moment, his face slowly swelled, and the pain gradually intensified...

"Ah!" Hou Zhi covered his face, finally realizing what happened. His face had been slapped. Who? Who was it? Who actually hit him?

Ye Hao continued smoking, only Ye Long and Shangguan Longyi noticed that Ye Hao had moved slightly earlier, and just that slight movement made it impossible for them to keep up with Ye Hao's speed.

"Enough, if you have personal grudges with him, resolve them outside. I'll give the Ye Family some face here, don't force me." Shangguan Longyi said coldly, feeling his authority was challenged when Ye Hao dared to hit Hou Zhi in front of him.

"Haha, enough? No rush, this is just the beginning. I said, anyone who bullies my brothers must face me, I won't let him off easily. And you, stop pointing fingers at me, I most like hitting arrogant bastards like you." Ye Hao didn't worry about these people ganging up on him.

He was completely confident in using his fourth level National Martial Arts skills to keep pace with those at the fifth level, making it hard for them to hit Ye Hao, while Ye Hao found hitting them easy.

Although the difference in level occasionally hampered Ye Hao, a fourth level martial artist, his confidence was high in his ability to outmaneuver Shangguan Longyi.

"Long, now you should know what to do, right?" Ye Hao turned his head to look at Ye Long and asked.

"Boss, you said if anyone bullies us, we should hit them." After Ye Long finished speaking, he charged forward and started fighting with Hou Zhi. Although Hou Zhi possessed the strength of a third-level martial artist, he had to reserve half of his power to guard against Ye Hao's sneak attack, leaving him only able to brawl with Ye Long at half strength.

Shangguan Longyi looked at Ye Hao coldly and snorted, "You're quite arrogant, one of the most arrogant young people I've met. I hope you won't crawl out of this private room."

"Of course! If anyone is crawling, it won't be me. But if you want to get involved, I can tell you clearly, I don't care who you are. If you obstruct me from standing up for my brother, you're my enemy. I never know how to hold back. I just know how to enjoy the fight." Ye Hao said, then pulled a chair over and sat down.

Ye Qingcheng found Shangguan Longyi to explain why she didn't come over earlier and why Ye Hao was here.

Shangguan Longyi understood after hearing Ye Qingcheng's explanation, but reminded Ye Qingcheng that Hou Zhi has two very strong brothers. She hoped Ye Qingcheng would leave with Ye Hao after dealing with Hou Zhi to prevent Ye Hao from getting into trouble later.

Ye Qingcheng brought a glass of wine to Ye Hao. Ye Hao smiled and nodded his thanks, but when looking at Ye Qingcheng, he had a feeling that she was like his sister.

Ye Qingcheng had similar feelings, but she just thought to herself. After all, she and Ye Hao belonged to different worlds.

"Bang!"

Hou Zhi punched Ye Long. Ye Long, with plenty of combat experience and the Luminous Pearl given by Ye Hao before, had already reached the pinnacle of the second-level martial arts. Insulted by Hou Zhi that morning and now punched again, Ye Long's potential burst out.

He directly rose from his previous stage in battle to the third level of national martial arts.

After entering the third level, Ye Long instantly became vigorous, his fists like the wind, every punch clashing with Hou Zhi sent him reeling back several steps.

Hou Zhi had also just advanced to the third level of martial arts. At this moment, being bombarded by the vigorous Ye Long, he retreated continuously.

"Ye Long, that's enough, don't push me." Seeing everyone watching them, Hou Zhi was afraid of being beaten by Ye Long, so he spoke coldly.

"Enough? Where were you yelling enough when you bullied someone from the Ye Family? I'll beat you to death today." Ye Long shouted mercilessly, launching a fierce attack.

With successive attacks, though Ye Long was also exhausted, seeing Hou Zhi in even poorer condition fueled his vigor. He must make this fool realize that even though the Hou Family is a big shot in the military, the Ye Family on the political stage is not weaker.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of sonic booms erupted as Ye Hao forced Hou Zhi into a corner.

After another round of kicking, Ye Long kicked Hou Zhi several times. Hou Zhi was already exhausted, lacking the strength to resist.

"Brother Hou, kill him, stand up and fight him!" Hou Zhi's henchmen shouted loudly.

"Yeah, kill him, he's also down, quickly get up."

Hearing this, Hou Zhi felt bitter. Damn, if I could stand up, would I need you to shout?

"Ye Long, is that enough?" Afraid of losing face, Hou Zhi did not apologize but indirectly conceded.

"Haha! Long, how did he bully our sister? Made her drink a glass of wine, right? Then we let him taste being forced to drink too. He made our sister drink a glass, so let him repay tenfold, make him drink ten bottles." Seeing Ye Long advance in the fight made Ye Hao happy.

Seeing Ye Long unsure how to handle Hou Zhi, Ye Hao came up with a crafty idea.

"Okay!" Ye Long nodded, then leaped to the liquor cabinet and grabbed ten bottles of brandy. With a strong twist, he opened them and forced them into Hou Zhi's mouth.

"Cough cough!" Hou Zhi, devoid of strength, could only cough desperately as Ye Long forced the alcohol down, his heart filled with murderous intent, determined to kill Ye Long and Ye Hao.

"Drink up! Drink, idiot! Now realize that the Ye Family people are not cowards? After drinking, get down and call me Master Long, and I'll let you go." Ye Long was also being driven into a frenzy.

He was naturally a hot-blooded young man. Returning to Yanjing, his father warned him not to offend too many people, so he kept a low profile.

Now, with Ye Hao backing him as the younger generation's protector, he was willing to risk it all, paying back those who bullied him.

"Haha, refreshing!" Ye Long laughed heartily while forcefully pouring wine.

"Brother Hou..." Hou Zhi's henchmen shouted loudly, watching him being forced to drink without any resistance.

At this moment, Shangguan Longyi walked to Ye Qingcheng and said worriedly, "Isn't it enough? He's already drunk five bottles of brandy. Drinking more might cause stomach bleeding."

"I can't help it either! Long was bullied by Hou Zhi in the morning. Now he just wants to collect interest." Ye Qingcheng shook her head helplessly.

"Drink! Haha..." Ye Long crazily poured alcohol into Hou Zhi while laughing loudly. Shangguan Longyi, unable to stand it anymore, was about to intervene... (To be continued.
