Chapter 603: 0604 Who gave you the authority! (Third update)

At last, the two reached an agreement and left the beach together.

Ye Qiu returned to the villa and promised to treat Mu Wanqing to dinner that evening. Ma Lingling finally let Ye Qiu go, leaving arm in arm with Wan Qing.

After Ye Qiu returned to the villa, he suddenly discovered Bai Xiong was missing.

Where was he?

Soon, Ye Qiu found traces of a struggle.

Someone had come to the villa and fought with Bai Xiong. Considering Bai Xiong’s strength, Ye Qiu was not too worried, but since his arm had not healed, his ability to fight was limited.

Who exactly made the move?

In the martial arts world, no one was an enemy to Bai Xiong; could it possibly be the Condor-Gilmore family?

Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered. This possibility was very likely. Bai Xiong had followed him, so the Condor-Gilmore family would definitely not be pleased. They would find trouble with Bai Xiong and, taking advantage of Ye Qiu’s absence from the villa and Bai Xiong’s injuries, they had a perfect opportunity.

Immediately, Ye Qiu opened the underworld website, searching for any information related to Bai Xiong.

Suddenly, he saw the title of a post and his face instantly changed.

Public trial of the traitor Bai Xiong by the Condor-Gilmore family, countdown to one day left!

A trial for Bai Xiong?

Ye Qiu’s eyes grew cold. Indeed, it was the Condor-Gilmore family’s doing. When he went to Mount Fuji, this family seemed to have dispatched beast-men to ambush him at the base of the mountain.

This family had tried to kill him, Ye Qiu, more than once. Now targeting Bai Xiong, they were clearly not taking him seriously.

Only one day left! That meant tomorrow!

Ye Qiu packed up and immediately prepared to head to the Condor-Gilmore family headquarters to rescue Bai Xiong.

Without Ye Qiu’s permission, they had dared to touch his people. Did the Condor-Gilmore family think themselves rulers of the world?

Ye Qiu’s heart burned with rage, reigniting the murderous intent that had caused fear throughout Japan, silent from top to bottom. How could he possibly be wary of a mere family?

That same day, Ye Qiu had the old man get him a plane ticket to fly directly to Europe and head to the Condor-Gilmore family headquarters.

That evening.

Mu Wanqing was dressed beautifully, sitting in the restaurant, slowly sipping red wine. She glanced at her watch; it was five minutes until eight o’clock.

"This guy, can’t he just wait for me in advance? Making a lady wait for him, really," Mu Wanqing pouted, showing a rare girlish demeanor.

However, as time ticked by minute by minute, it was soon 8:30, and Ye Qiu still hadn’t appeared.

Mu Wanqing dialed his number directly, only to hear: I’m sorry, the phone you are calling is turned off!

"Ye Qiu!" Mu Wanqing put down her glass angrily, so furious she could hardly stand it. Ye Qiu had dared to stand her up, not even answering his phone.

A few minutes later, Ma Lingling also called to inquire about Wan Qing’s date, only to find out that Ye Qiu had flaked, she immediately came over, ready to take Wan Qing to find Ye Qiu and give him a piece of their mind.

"Wan Qing, wait for me. This damn guy, he doesn’t know how many people wish to have dinner with our Wan Qing and can’t even get in line, yet here he is, standing her up!" Close friend Ma Lingling was ready to vent on Mu Wanqing’s behalf.

At that moment, Ye Qiu was already on the plane, with no time to think about dates or dinners, as rescuing Bai Xiong was the pressing matter.

Condor-Gilmore family headquarters.

In the basement, the dimly lit corridor, with faint lights, was filled with the smell of decay.

At the end of the corridor, Bai Xiong’s limbs were bound, his body covered in scars.

The whip kept lashing at Bai Xiong, each stripe of blood deepening rapidly. It was clear that his arm, which was nearly healed, was becoming increasingly severe, even revealing glimmers of white bone.

"Bai Xiong, why did you betray the family?" Edith sat at the doorway, watching a muscular man continue to whip Bai Xiong.

"For no reason." Bai Xiong had no reasons, no explanations.

This was the ultimate disregard for Edith, who was the helmsman of the Condor Guild family. No one had ever dared talk to him like this.

"Then good, continue to beat him ruthlessly." Edith said coldly, deeply disappointed by Bai Xiong’s betrayal, as he was a top fighter painstakingly cultivated by the family. But for the sake of the family’s reputation, he had to do it.

"You could have chosen to serve anyone, yet you chose to serve a young Chinese lad. Tell me, is it worth it?" Edith couldn’t understand why Bai Xiong, after originally setting out to kill Ye Qiu, would willingly follow him.

"Serving the young master is an honor, Lord Edith. I owe the Condor Guild family nothing now. Why must you persist in tormenting me?"

"Hmph, you say you don’t owe us just like that? My Condor Guild family poured vast amounts of money into developing the gene fluid and cultivating a top fighter like you, and you think one word of non-owing can settle it all? Don’t think that just because you did some work for the family you can sever ties so easily. Let me tell you, once you join the Condor Guild family, you don’t get to decide life or death for yourself."

"Tomorrow, the family will conduct a public trial against you, the traitor. You should know what the punishment is!"

Laughing, Edith left. Watching the family he once served treat him with such cold indifference, Bai Xiong felt an immense desolation. He had thought the family would consider old sentiments, but the reality was completely opposite to what he expected.

He hated himself for becoming weak. If it weren’t for his arm not being fully recovered, he wouldn’t have been captured and brought back here.

The man wielding the whip grew tired and stopped for a rest. Bai Xiong, with his head raised and face smeared with fresh blood, was unrecognizable.

"I wonder how the young master is doing on his journey to Japan?"

"Tomorrow I’ll be dead. Young Master, Bai Xiong fears he won’t be able to accompany you through the ancient lands in battle!"

Bai Xiong forced a bitter smile and succumbed to sleep amidst the pain.

...

The next day was sunny, within the grounds of the Condor Guild family estate.

All family members were present, for today was a very important day—the trial of Bai Xiong, once the strongest fighter in the family.

Today, the Condor Guild family would judge Bai Xiong, subjecting him to severe punishment as a warning to all: betray the family, and the consequences would be dire.

"Welcome, family members and the strong ones from the underworld. Today is the day my Condor Guild family publicly tries the traitor Bai Xiong."

A crowd encircled the scene, and before everyone stood a stone pillar to which Bai Xiong was tightly bound, his head drooping, not yet awake.

Suddenly, someone splashed a bucket of cold water, awakening Bai Xiong.

Bai Xiong saw countless faces, some familiar, some strangers, but all bore looks of schadenfreude, devoid of sympathy.

The Condor Guild family’s helmsman, Edith, addressed Bai Xiong: "Bai Xiong, formerly a SSS-grade beastman warrior of the Condor Guild family, is convicted of desertion and serving others. It is now decided to execute him by fire, letting him endure the punishment of the Fire God amidst the flames!"

There was no opportunity for Bai Xiong to speak; his mouth was too dry, and his eyes too blurry to see clearly.

The torches were already lit, and Bai Xiong revealed a bitter smile.

It was all over!

"Who gave you the authority to judge and dispose of my people, do you want to be annihilated?"

Suddenly, a commanding voice rang out, full of overwhelming presence!
