you already know what my first condition is," Ye Bufan said."I was wrong, Dr. Ye, I really was wrong! Please forgive me this time, and I promise I won't do it again."Changsun Li was never a hard-heade...Those in black quickly parted to the sides upon entering, creating a passageway down the middle. Immediately afterward, a middle-aged man walked in slowly.

This man was wearing a wide, long coat, sporting a large pair of sunglasses and a high ponytail. He had a cigar in his mouth, exuding an aura of power and authority – the very image of a powerful figure.

Tao Wei and others were all filled with shock and admiration. They had long heard that Master Ma Jiu had a mysterious and powerful backer, but they had never seen him over the years. Today, seeing him, they realized his power.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced in the correctness of his and their previous choices. Now that boy was definitely finished.

In this society, relying solely on physical prowess is futile. Even if you are incredibly skilled, can you really defeat 10 people Or even 100 How can your skills possibly surpass the power of advanced weaponry

Seeing a middle-aged man enter, Master Ma was like seeing a savior. All his previous nervousness and humiliation vanished. He jumped up from the ground and pointed at Ye Bufan, shouting, "Boss, it's this kid who destroyed our place!"

The middle-aged man, upon seeing Ye Bufan, suddenly quickened his pace and approached him, shouting in a stern voice, "Kneel down for me!"

Master Ma looked pleased and called out, "Kid, did you hear that Kneel down to our boss right now or else…"

Before he could finish his words, the middle-aged man shouted again in a stern voice: "I'm talking to you! Get down on your knees right now! Today, Dr. Ye won't let you get up until you die!"

"Huh" Master Ma was utterly dumbfounded. He had been waiting eagerly for the reinforcements, and now they were asking him to kneel

"Boss, didn't you get it wrong It was this kid who ruined our party!"

A middle-aged man slapped Ma Jiuye across the face with fury, then kicked him to the ground, angrily yelling, "Damn it, I told you to kneel down! Can't you understand"

"Got it, got it."

Although Ma Jiuye was still in a state of bewilderment, there was one thing he figured out: the boss was right, he did need to kneel down.

Although he was once a powerful and influential figure, he now dared not hesitate at all because everything he had was given to him by this man.

If he didn't have a powerful backer, he wouldn't be anything now. He would probably be forgotten and his grave would be overgrown with grass taller than a man.

He fell to his knees again with a thud, more respectful and upright than before.

Everyone else looked confused, not knowing what had happened.

Including Han Shuai, who had just quietly picked up a bottle of alcohol and was about to take a big gulp, but unexpectedly ended up in this situation.

But Ye Bufan had already recognized the middle-aged man, it was Tang Feng from the Tang family.

When I was just checking up on Old Master Tang, he was still acting like a filial son and a good grandson. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he has become a big shot known throughout Jiangnan.

What he didn't know was that the Tang family, who started out in martial arts, had always been the true ruler of the Jiangnan underworld. The so-called four dragon heads were all pets raised by the Tang family.

If the Tang family is unhappy, they can replace these people at any time.

At this moment, Tang Feng's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Tang Lao Ye's recovery from his serious illness had put him in a good mood. When he received Ma Jiuye's call, he rushed over with people, but unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be Ye Bufan.

I was just discussing with my father how to please Doctor Ye, hoping his divine skills could help me reach the Xuan-rank warrior level. Unexpectedly, my subordinates have caused such a huge mess.

He walked respectfully to Ye Bufan's side, a smile plastered on his face, and said: "Divine Doctor Ye, I'm really sorry, my subordinates didn't have their eyes open and offended you."

But rest assured, I will make sure you are satisfied. Just say the word and I'll have him thrown to the fishes.

As soon as he said this, the mood of the people present, which had just calmed down a bit, was once again shocked to its peak.

Master Ma's face turned pale, and he lost all the composure and arrogance of a powerful figure before. Although he was just a dog raised by the Tang family, he was the most adept at pleasing his master and bringing him benefits.

In the past, no matter what big shots he had offended, the Tang family would always firmly stand behind him, supporting him.

In front of this young man, Tang Feng chose to sacrifice himself without hesitation. Who is this young man What kind of background does he have to make the Tang family bow down and submit

Relying solely on the He family wouldn't be enough, because the Tang family's status is in no way inferior to the He family. Moreover, looking at Tang Feng's demeanor, his respect was completely genuine.

Thinking about this, a chill ran down his spine. What big shot had he offended

Could it be that he was really going to be sunk to the bottom of the sea today He didn't think Tang Feng was joking.

Tao Wei and the three others knelt there, completely dumbfounded. They even forgot about the pain from their knees being engorged.

I can hardly believe what I'm seeing. The poor kid we used to look down on is now standing at a height we can only admire.

They could only kneel before Ma Jiuyé like grandchildren, and now even Ma Jiuyé's master is so respectful to others. Such a stark contrast in status is enough to make them look up in awe for a lifetime.

At this moment, Shi Yuting's heart was also filled with curiosity. What kind of person was this friend, Han Shuai

She first showed extraordinary talent in piano, then amazing martial arts skills, and now she's even crushing a powerful figure. It's beyond her imagination.

Ye Bufan glanced at Tang Feng, then at Ma Jiuye who was prostrate on the ground, and said faintly: "Since he's your man, today's matter is over."

Seeing that he wasn't angry about his subordinates' insults, Tang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. His dream of becoming a Xuan-rank martial artist hadn't been shattered after all.

"I thank the divine doctor on behalf of this blind thing."

Tang Feng turned back and kicked Ma Jiuye again, "You blind fool, even the old man respects Dr. Ye, how dare you disrespect him!"

"Next time, I'll cut you up myself. Apologize to Doctor Ye right now!"

Hearing this, the resentment and unwillingness in Master Ma's heart vanished completely. He knew exactly what kind of person the head of the Tang family was, and if even the head himself showed respect, who could he possibly afford to offend

Humans are psychologically wired this way: if someone's status is so high that they inspire awe, the thought of revenge simply doesn't arise. What remains is only respect and submission.

"Doctor Ye, I'm so sorry! It was my fault. My eyes are blind, and I offended Doctor Ye. Please punish me, Doctor Ye."

"Ye Bufan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, get up. Today's matter is not your fault, and I won't pursue it. But remember this, from now on, don't collect protection money from that area in the old village cluster anymore."

Tang Feng scolded, “You useless thing, did you hear what Dr. Ye said From now on, you are absolutely not allowed to do such despicable things again.”

"Understood, understood. From now on, I guarantee no one in the village will be charged protection money again."

"Master Ma repeatedly said his thanks, then thanked Ye Bufan before standing up from the ground."

The vendors in the village market didn't know that because of Ye Bufan's single sentence, their nightmare that had plagued them for years was completely gone.

Master Ma glanced at the three people kneeling beside Tao Wei, and respectfully asked, "Divine Physician Ye, how should we handle these people"ash, Ye Bufan revealed a smirk at the corner of his mouth.He knew that his current strength was insufficient, and he couldn't escape the pursuit of a Nascent Soul Stage expert at all. Therefore, from...
