Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Taking Sides

Although the Shen Family’s main hall was closed at this time, the situation inside had already spread throughout the upper echelons of Tianhai City.

In this day and age, as long as you have a smartphone, any news can get out, and it’s even possible that someone might be live broadcasting the scene.

The thrilling showdown between Yang Yu and Young Master Li was such a big deal that it was impossible for the people of the ten major families not to know about it.

So, once Yang Yu spoke up, those several big shots immediately agreed, which showed that they already knew what had happened.

Of course, they definitely also understood the true intention behind the Li Family’s desire to marry Shen Silin, which was to control the Shen Family through marriage and ultimately interfere with and occupy Tianhai City.

Some people didn’t dare to offend the Li Family and were prepared to sit back and watch the fight, but the Wen Family, Bai Family, Xiao Feng of the Xiao Family, and Yue Zhongren had already clearly picked sides.

It has to be said that this was inseparable from Yang Yu’s personal charm.

If they didn’t trust Yang Yu, who would be willing to pay such a high price to support him?

Seeing Yang Yu call for reinforcements, Young Master Li’s lips curved up slightly in a mocking smile, as he watched the people from the Wen, Bai, and Xiao families present.

Noticing Young Master Li’s attention, Wen Jinyi immediately made his stance clear, "Young Master Li, it’s my father who calls the shots at home, and I can’t do anything about it. Personally, I would be very willing to collaborate with the two young masters of the Li Family. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Second Young Master."

He Zhibin and Bai Shufen of the Bai Family also promptly took a stand: "It’s the same with our family; I don’t know why my mother values this kid so much. Anyway, as a couple, we have no good feelings toward him. If I were to take control of the Bai Family, I would never make such a foolish decision."

Xiao Long said with a cold face, "My sister is an old maid, and heaven knows what nonsense this pretty boy fed her, making her think that he could help me lift my curse and extend my life, which is utterly ridiculous! It’s just that my parents divided the family property into two parts, and I don’t manage my sister’s portion, or else this guy wouldn’t get a penny from the Xiao Family!"

"Very good," Young Master Li said with satisfaction upon seeing these three families make their positions clear, "rest assured, I, Li Chengze, am always generous to my friends. If any of you feel pressured in taking over your families, just come to me."

He was blatantly telling them that he could help them fight for the family succession rights.

Using a calm tone to deliver the fiercest of words, Young Master Li exhibited his arrogance and domineering attitude to the fullest.

Hearing Young Master Li’s promise, all three families expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Young Master Li."

People from the other families also pondered, though it was unclear what they were thinking.

While everyone attending Mrs. Shen Sr.’s birthday party was waiting for Yang Yu’s reinforcements, two sneaky figures, one tall and one short, quietly slipped into Yang Yu’s house during this time and began searching for the treasure map.

They knew Yang Yu wasn’t home, and if not now, then when?

"This should be Yang Yu’s bedroom," Mountain Ghost entered a room and, seeing that the wardrobe was filled with men’s clothes, confirmed that this was Yang Yu’s room.

The two immediately began to turn the place upside down and soon found Yang Yu’s safe.

They moved the safe out, and Mountain Ghost immediately took out the giant chainsaw he had brought, plugged it in, and began to cut furiously.

"Shriek—" The friction between the chainsaw and the safe produced a sharp noise, making Han Qiao involuntarily cover his ears.

"Done, we’re through!" Mountain Ghost turned off the chainsaw, took off the cut part of the safe, revealing an irregular-shaped hole on the top.

Unable to wait, Han Qiao reached in and pulled out an exquisitely made box: "What’s with this box, why is it made so delicately...huh? It won’t open?"

"If it won’t open, cut it open!" Mountain Ghost passed the chainsaw to Han Qiao, "I just cut the safe and my hand is sore, you take care of this small box."

"Alright," Han Qiao took the electric saw, powered it on again, and carefully started cutting the box.

He was afraid he would cut too hard and damage the treasure map inside.

"Zzzt..." With the saw, Han Qiao easily cut open the box.

But the moment the cut was made, who knows how many nails flew out from inside the box, shooting towards Han Qiao.

Han Qiao hadn’t expected the box to be rigged with a hidden weapon; at such a close distance, he had no time to dodge and could only grit his teeth and use his left arm to intercept the nails.

Thud, thud, thud...

The nails all embedded themselves in Han Qiao’s left arm, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, "Good thing I know the Golden Bell Shield, or else my hand would have been shot into a hornet’s nest... Mountain Ghost, what’s with that expression?"

"Han Han Han... Han Qiao, Bone Bone Bone... Bone Dissolving Powder!" Finally getting the words out amid his panic, Mountain Ghost caused Han Qiao’s face to instantly change color, "What, Bone Dissolving Powder!"

He hastily examined his arm and saw it emitting black smoke where the nails had struck!

"Ah—" Han Qiao howled in agony, a sharp pain piercing his heart.

In the face of Bone Dissolving Powder, all the Iron Shirt and Golden Bell Shield techniques were damn useless!

Mountain Ghost quickly came to his senses and urgently suggested, "Chop off that arm, or else if the poison spreads, you’ll lose your life!"

Han Qiao wasn’t stupid; what was losing an arm compared to losing his life?

Without any hesitation, Han Qiao picked up the electric saw and resolutely cut off his left arm with his right hand!

"Ah—" Han Qiao screamed again as the severed arm and the electric saw both hit the ground.

In no time, the severed arm turned into a puddle of stinking black liquid, emitting a foul odor.

Mountain Ghost quickly wrapped Han Qiao’s arm and stopped the bleeding, helping Han Qiao to recover a bit of Primordial Energy.

Looking at the box on the ground, Han Qiao regarded it as if it were a landmine, no longer daring to look directly at it.

Without another word, Mountain Ghost bagged up the box and then said to Han Qiao, "Let’s go, we’ll take it back and study it slowly."

When Second Young Master Li saw Han Qiao with an arm missing, he was totally stunned, "Did you run into Yang Yu?"

"No," Mountain Ghost shook his head, "Yang Yu hid the item in a box. We didn’t realize how dangerous it was and got ambushed."

Yi Xuanji looked at Han Qiao with a face full of scorn, "I told you, seeking that person of ill omen for medical treatment would only bring misfortune upon you. The later the bad luck hits, the more unfortunate you are. Now, do you believe it?"

Only then did Mountain Ghost remember that Yi Xuanji had indeed said something like that. Feeling sad for Han Qiao, he was secretly relieved that he had avoided such a misfortune in advance.

Compared to losing an arm, what was being bitten a few more times by a poisonous snake?

Second Young Master Li asked casually, "What kind of box injured you like this? Let me see it."

Mountain Ghost shook his head with a gloomy face, "We were afraid it still had mechanisms, so we dared not touch it. We left it at Yang Yu’s house."
