NOVEL NEXT Chapter 56: Excessive Bullying!_1
"Begin apologizing?"
All eyes in the private room turned to Lord Long.
There Lord Long sat with arms crossed and leg propped over the other, his eyes lightly scanning the crowd. Even the simplest among them now understood what Lord Long meant.
The people from both the Shang Family and the Wu Family exchanged glances, finally realizing that this apology wasn't quite what they had imagined.
Yin Tian was calmly seated, motionless, not uttering a word.
After a while, Lord Long slightly furrowed his brow and let out a light but stern scoff, "Hmm, why hasn't it started yet?"
Finally, Shang Lin stood up from his seat with an ugly expression on his face.
He looked at Yin Tian and bowed deeply to him, "Yin Tian, about the incident before... I was in the wrong, and I apologize to you."
Yin Tian grunted through his nose, barely accepting Shang Lin's apology.
Shang Lin straightened his back, sitting down again with neither embarrassment nor change in complexion.
On the other side, Wu Hao also stood up, clenching his teeth.
"Yin Tian..."
Just as Wu Hao began to speak, Lord Long slightly lifted his head and cast a glance at Wu Hao, "Who taught you to apologize like that?"
Wu Hao's body shuddered.
Faced with the towering figure of the Su Family, not to mention the Big Four Families, the Wu Family dared not utter another word.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Hao also bowed to Yin Tian, "Yin Tian, there has been a misunderstanding between us, but I can assure you, I won't trouble you again in the future."
Yin Tian said nothing, and Wu Hao maintained his bowing posture.
After two minutes, as Wu Hao's back began to ache, Yin Tian suddenly stood up and stepped towards Wu Hao.
Wu Hao, hearing the footsteps yet not daring to look up,
saw Yin Tian walk in front of him and flick a silver needle, previously hidden between his fingers, precisely into Wu Hao's abdomen.
Wu Hao only felt a tickling sensation in his abdomen and didn't pay much attention to it.
"Stand up, isn't it tiring to keep bending like that?"
Yin Tian, smiling, helped Wu Hao stand up, his fingers swiftly and imperceptibly retrieving the needle.
That needle had sealed the meridians in Wu Hao's lower body.
There would be no irregularities at first, but in a few days, Wu Hao would lose his virility.
Even his most prized possession would begin to shrink until it withered completely!
This guy had almost destroyed Su Qinwei and Xia Nianbing; how could Yin Tian let him get away with it!
Hearing Yin Tian's words, Wu Hao finally returned to his seat.
Then, the others started bowing and apologizing to Yin Tian one after another, even the middle-aged man unknown to Yin Tian, Wu Hao's father, Patriarch Wu of the Wu Family, Wu Ding, inexplicably apologized to Yin Tian.
"Alright everyone, since apologies have been made, let's consider the matter resolved, shall we?"
Lord Long spoke leisurely, a faint smile on his face.
When Lord Long spoke, who would dare not to listen?
"Oh, right."
Yin Tian suddenly spoke up, "I came here under Su Changhe's orders to apologize. Since we've moved past this, can we now revoke the sanctions against the Su Family?"
"The promises previously made to the Su Family should also continue, right?"
This was simply too much!
Everyone watched Yin Tian with displeased expressions.
Apologize!
What kind of apology had he given?
Weren't they the ones who had apologized?
But with Lord Long present, they simply had no way of voicing any further objections.
"Hmm."
Shang Yuanning reluctantly grunted his agreement.
The Wu Family, represented by three generations, exchanged looks and eventually had no choice but to hold their noses and comply with Yin Tian's conditions.
"Let's leave today's matter at this, and you don't spread word of it, otherwise, you should know what I'm capable of."
Lord Long casually reminded everyone.
He knew that Yin Tian did not want to reveal too much about himself, which was why he had said this.
"We'll follow your lead, Lord Long."
Shang Yuanning spoke respectfully.
"Good, you may leave now."
Upon hearing Lord Long's words, the people felt as if they had been pardoned.
"Lord Long, we'll take our leave then."
The crowd quickly stood up and left the private room.
If Yin Tian had been there alone, they were confident they could bully him to death.
What they never expected was for Lord Long to personally intervene.
Upon exiting the private room, the faces of members from both the Shang and Wu Families were extremely unsightly.
"Damn it!!"
Wu Hao swore under his breath.
"Utter humiliation!"
Shang Lin was equally ashen-faced.
Patriarchs Shang Yuanning and Wu Ding were both clenching their fists.
"Isn't that guy just lucky to have saved Lord Long's son by chance? Does he really think he's that capable?"
"We need to find a way. If we let this brat continue unchecked, what face will our two families have left in Su Hang?"
"We can't let this matter rest!"
"He must pay the price!"
...
Back in the private room.
Yin Tian turned to Lord Long, "I really owe you one this time. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known how to resolve this."
"Your issues are my issues,"
Lord Long responded to Yin Tian with a gentle smile.
Pressuring two major families into submission was nothing to him at all.
"By the way, Lord Long."
Yin Tian seemed to recall something, "The items you were collecting for me, did you manage to find them?"
"I have acquired three of them; it's just the silver earth that I don't know what to do about,"
Lord Long looked troubled.
Yin Tian had requested several rare items, and even with all of Lord Long's resources, he had only been able to gather three of them so far.
Upon hearing this, Yin Tian fell silent, calculating with his fingers.
After a while, Yin Tian looked back at Lord Long, "West of here there may be an answer."
Lord Long looked at Yin Tian with surprise and delight.
He was well aware of Yin Tian's capabilities.
Could the silver earth be in the west?
