These words weren't many, but Bai Lan spoke them with great difficulty!

In just a few short minutes, her face had turned pale, her whole being lacking any vitality, as if she'd aged ten years.

"What's happened?"

Ye Qiu was indeed anxious!

It looked like Bai Lan had taken a huge hit, her heart on the brink of collapse.

"The company… the company's stock market was attacked, the stock price plummeted…"

Bai Lan struggled to control her emotions, tears involuntarily streaming down.

"And many execs and shareholders have also been kidnapped…"

"Is this true?"

Ye Qiu was alarmed the moment he heard it, his expression changed drastically.

The anger that hadn't yet subsided now burned even fiercer…

Just as he was about to erupt, his phone rang.

The caller ID showed it was from Cat.

Ye Qiu suppressed his feelings and answered the call.

"How is it?"

He asked.

It wasn't a matter of doubting Cat's efficiency but genuine curiosity about who dared to act against the Bai Group under his watch.

"In the past few days, we've already wiped out numerous forces allied to Blood Cross.

But, these forces are all small factions.

I've checked, they're all the lower-tier forces of various family alliances.

Given they've emerged and allied with Blood Cross, there's reason to believe those major families have also sided with Blood Cross!"

Cat reported this all in one breath.

"Ha!" Ye Qiu snorted coldly for seemingly no reason, "When the tiger shows no threat, they all think I'm just a sick cat!"

He could no longer contain his anger!

Why would these people not know better!

Clearly, they're all a bunch of pests, yet so shamelessly they wreak havoc!

Do they really not consider him, Ye Qiu, at all?

Why do they keep causing trouble again and again?

Do they think Huaxia is empty?

Once, he could endure!

Twice, he could still endure!

Three, four times…

The look in Ye Qiu's eyes was icy.

If looks could kill, everyone here would probably be dead by now.

"What should we do next?"

Noticing Ye Qiu's hostile tone, Cat asked with furrowed brows.

"Kill…"

Ye Qiu said coldly, squeezing that word through clenched teeth!

"But we don't have enough people…"

Cat sighed involuntarily.

Because they truly didn't have many people.

And the other's were Blood Cross and Huaxia's major family alliance!

Even if they wanted to kill, it's not something that could be achieved quickly.

"Activate Demon King's Decree!"

Ye Qiu said coldly.

"What?"

Cat on the other end of the call was unable to sit still.

Though the force of Blood Cross allied with so many families was indeed formidable.

But, should the Demon really come forth…

"Now! Issue the Demon King's Decree! Also, use every effort possible to rescue the Bai Group's hostages! Ensure their safety!"

Ye Qiu instructed.

"Yes!"

Cat replied solemnly, then hung up the phone…

"I'll take you back first, don't worry about what's left, leave it all to me!"

Ye Qiu forcefully controlled his emotions and comforted Bai Lan.

Bai Lan was already at the brink of collapse! She couldn't take any more blows…

Nodding slowly, like a wooden puppet, she followed Ye Qiu into the car…

Meanwhile, in various corners of the world.

Many people were busily occupied.

Pirate bosses, Mercenary Kings, wayward sons, company white-collars. There were company security guards, school teachers.

Their phones coincidentally rang at once.

Upon seeing the caller ID number, none hesitated at all.

"Demon, return quickly!"

The call's content consisted of just these four short words.

However, upon hearing it, their pupils turned crimson instantly…

Every one of them unhesitatingly put aside everything, inhaling deeply.

The air around them grew suddenly warmer!

Shedding their heavy outward shells, each person's eyes were filled with intense killing intent and war spirit.

It was a raging aura.

Like tigers long dormant, awakened by the Demon King's summons, revived in an instant.

A towering aura, fierce energy!

Once a Demon member, forever a Demon member!

In times of battle, summoned they shall return!

It was both pride and glory!

In an instant, everyone began converging toward a single direction.

Their target was Jiangnan!

…

"All right, don't worry about it! Everything's fine, I'm here for everything!"

On the way back, seeing Bai Lan still lost and soulless.

Ye Qiu could not help but worry.

Even if Bai Lan was a strong businesswoman, even if she had a heart incomparable to most.

But no matter who it is, they can't endure such successive blows one after another!

"Thank you for always being there!"

Bai Lan couldn't take it anymore, her tears pouring like a heavy downpour.

If it weren't for Ye Qiu helping her again and again, if it weren't for Ye Qiu fearlessly protecting her over and over.

Bai Lan truly wouldn't know how to face everything before her.

…

After this time, I promise no harm will ever come to you again!

Ye Qiu said to himself.

Bai Lan's appearance was deeply heart-wrenching…

Tossing and turning through the night, Bai Lan barely slept, and Ye Qiu stayed by her side the whole time.

Early the next morning, Bai Lan couldn't wait to head to the company.

Ye Qiu unhesitatingly followed her.

Blood Cross had already started acting against the company!

Right now, he could only stay by her side without pause, preventing her from suffering any more harm!

"Sigh… this is truly the end!"

"What do we do! …"

"Sigh!"

Unlike before.

As they entered the company, a chorus of sighs was unbroken!

The whole company seemed to be under a cloud of anxiety, each person guarding themselves.

The atmosphere throughout the company reached its peak of oppression.

"President Bai, the stock price dropped again…"

Just entering the office, a secretary dressed person rushed in, face full of panic.

"Dropped again?"

"We're finished…"

Though this was said in Bai Lan's office, it still reached many ears.

A single sentence stirred waves.

The Bai Group had never faced such a crisis before.

In the company's history, never had the stock price experienced such a dramatic decline.

If this situation continued, the day Bai Group went bankrupt would soon come…

Apart from Bai Lan, almost everyone was uncontrollably clamoring and rushing, anxious to get their pay early to leave the Bai Group.

…

When Bai Group fell into chaos, many rival companies rejoiced.

They watched the stock market curve and burst into laughter.

"Didn't expect it, did you, your Bai Group would see this day!"

"Indeed, you deserve it!"

"Awesome! Truly gratifying!"

Almost everyone laughed triumphantly…
