Xu Ke turned his head, his heart sinking.

He was facing two old men he did not recognize.

But they shared a common trait—they were Innate Martial Artists.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Chang Yi." On Xu Ke's left, an elderly man in a short-sleeved shirt, looking vibrant and possessing a formidable aura, gave Xu Ke an elegant smile.

Chang Yi…

Xu Ke's pupils contracted slightly.

This was a man who, like Ouyang Shuang, served as a venerable Innate supporter of the Huang Family.

On Xu Ke's right was a small, thin old man dressed in Tang attire, his face bearing a sinister smile. "Hello. You can call me Uncle Qiu. My young master instructed me to take good care of you."

This was the elder who had been sitting in the passenger seat of Ye Yunfeng's car last night.

Uncle Qiu… Surnamed Qiu.

Xu Ke slowly exhaled.

Wang Wu had told him this man belonged to Ye Yunfeng. He had no way out!

"Heh, the three families really think highly of me," Xu Ke chuckled, his face growing calm instead.

"We have no choice, Mister Xu. You are too powerful. How could we dare try to capture you without three Innates?" Uncle Qiu's eyes narrowed, his gaze ominous. "If you intend to kneel, Mister Xu, you'd better do it soon. Once I make my move, you won't be able to keep your legs. You won't get the chance to kneel voluntarily then."

Chang Yi flashed a grin. "Why waste so much breath? You all know what Xu Ke is like… Let's just ask him to perform his faked death one more time. But this time, even if you could fly, you wouldn't escape the grasp of the three of us."

Chang Yi slowly pulled out a gun, the dark muzzle aimed straight at Xu Ke's pupils. From Xu Ke's perspective, the barrel seemed infinitely deep.

"Haha…" This time, Xu Ke truly laughed. "Innate Martial Artists, breaking the ban on firearms just to deal with me? Are you really that afraid?"

"Don't bother with reverse psychology. We've lived long enough to know it's better to be on the safe side," Uncle Qiu sneered. "Also, don't think you can stall for time. We've made thorough preparations to deal with you. More and more people will be blocking your escape routes. You can't run."

Xu Ke squinted. "You dare to make a move in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid of punishment from the Martial Alliance?"

"It's precisely because it's daylight that we're making our move. Otherwise, why would you have felt safe enough to walk down this deserted alley?" Chang Yi chuckled, his hand holding the gun steady as he gradually aimed it at Xu Ke's thigh.

Xu Ke's eyes narrowed.

A question flashed through his mind. Who could have betrayed his whereabouts? The Ye Family was able to block his path with such accuracy… He had only decided to take the subway after leaving the clinic.

Xu Ke's expression suddenly changed.

Did someone from the clinic betray him?

Sun Luo stopped three meters from Xu Ke. "So, Xu Ke, what's your plan? Come with me willingly, and you can avoid some unnecessary suffering. I can also prevent these two from tormenting you. After all, Lord War God still wants to see you. I don't want you to look too miserable and be an eyesore to Lord War God."

Sun Luo's tone dripped with superiority. He was confident of victory.

This time, even if Wang Wu came to the rescue, he was confident he could contend with him.

Surrounded by the three men, Xu Ke fell into silence.

A moment later, he suddenly said, "Fine, I'll go with you."

Hearing this, Sun Luo raised an eyebrow. "What tricks are you trying to pull?"

"Haha…" Xu Ke laughed. "What tricks can I possibly pull? Since I can't beat you, I can only admit defeat. Take me away."

"Good!" Uncle Qiu clapped his hands in admiration, though his expression remained sinister. "Since you're being so cooperative, I won't make things difficult for you. Just cooperate, and after I chop off your legs and snap a photo to entertain the young master, you can go."

Upon hearing Uncle Qiu's vicious words, Chang Yi roared with laughter. "Didn't we agree two days ago? One leg for us, one for you?"

"After what Xu Ke did yesterday, the young master is asking for a bit more," Uncle Qiu sneered.

Yesterday, Xu Ke brought great shame to the Ye Family. If Ye Yunfeng hadn't told him to be patient, he would have followed and assassinated Xu Ke last night.

"Ask for less," Sun Luo sneered. "I still have to take him back to see Lord War God."

Are these two being too greedy? Bringing a cripple back to see Wong Ting? He was afraid Wong Ting would think he was being mocked.

Seeing Chang Yi, Uncle Qiu, and Sun Luo acting as if he wasn't even there, Xu Ke's eyes turned icy cold.

He knew that as the weaker party, he had no right to speak. If he had faced a combination like Wong Hongsheng and Chen Zhiyong, he might have had a chance to escape, but that was only because Wang Wu had arrived shortly after to save him. But facing three Innate Martial Artists now, he really had no chance whatsoever. Even though his strength had improved after yesterday's medicinal bath and the arm Wong Hongsheng had injured was now healed, he still had no chance… This was a challenge beyond his level, facing three opponents alone… But he still wanted to try…

Xu Ke took a deep breath. Looking at the mocking faces of the three men who were still discussing how to 'divide him up,' he laughed. "I have a question."

Sun Luo's attention shifted to him. "Ask."

"How did you know I would be here?"

A thick look of pride spread across Sun Luo's face. "You have a clinic. That isn't hard to investigate. As long as we're willing to spend a little money to buy off one of your subordinates, finding out your location is a piece of cake."

"Why are you telling him so much?" Chang Yi's expression changed.

Is this Sun Luo an idiot? Why explain so much to a captive?

"What's there to be afraid of? He's like a pig or a dog now, for us to carve up as we please. A few words won't change anything," Sun Luo sneered with disdain.

These people from the Huang and Ye Families… every single one of them is a coward. Being this cautious with a mere Postnatal Late Stage martial artist… What a bunch of wastes!

"Fine," Xu Ke nodded. "I understand."

"Then are you ready to kneel?" Chang Yi raised the handgun, his eyes flashing.

He knew the covert defenses were all in place. Now, they just had to injure Xu Ke. No matter how much potential he had, he wouldn't be able to escape.

The older one gets, the more cautious one becomes, and that described Chang Yi perfectly. Huang Sheng, as the planner of this operation, naturally wanted the most dignified and perfect victory possible. So, it wasn't just the three of them ganging up on Xu Ke; Huang Sheng had also arranged for people in the shadows…

RING! RING!

Just then, Uncle Qiu's cell phone rang, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"Hello, Young Master…" Uncle Qiu answered the call casually, his face still sporting that sinister, mocking smile, not at all as grave and serious as one would expect from someone in the middle of a capture.

Xu Ke is just a rat in a cage… Why be so tense?

"Where's Xu Ke?" Ye Fan's voice came through, laden with deep bitterness and the thrill of imminent revenge.

"Right in front of me," Uncle Qiu sneered, his face filled with triumph and scorn. "About to kneel for us."

"Oh? Let him talk to me…"

Uncle Qiu held the phone out, switching to video mode. "There."

Xu Ke stared at the phone. On the screen was Ye Fan's face.

Seeing Xu Ke's expressionless face, Ye Fan laughed with wild arrogance. "Hahahaha… Xu Ke, how does it feel to be a dog without a home?!"

Seeing the look on Xu Ke's face, like he'd just eaten shit… Ye Fan felt ecstatic! Utterly ecstatic!
