Chapter 723 Too Much Bullying
Daniel's face underwent a rapid change.
There was no way he could release the captive.
If he didn't release the person, he could still keep his business partners onside.
Those who dared to confront the hidden families were certainly from hidden families themselves.
On the business partners' side, they were definitely serving the hidden families, too.
In other words, through the business partners, he could still establish contact with one of the hidden families in Europe and protect himself and his own family.
If he released the captive, he would be completely finished.
If things weren't handled well, even the hidden family behind his business partners would be unlikely to help him.
So, the only option was to continue down this dark path.
With that thought, he immediately gave the order, "You two, take this guy and go. The rest of you block him, try to hold him off as long as possible. You don't need to beat him, just hold him back long enough for us to take the person away."
He left with two people by his side, carrying Kipling away.
The other seven thugs stood in Xu Yang's way.
It had to be said, this was the best strategy.
They stood no chance in a fight against Xu Yang after all.
Xu Yang's skills were monstrously good, and it didn't take long for him to take down several men.
So, they had no choice but to block him.
Besides, taking Kipling away was critical.
As for Xu Yang, they could only wait to seek revenge at a later time.
Xu Yang could fight, but in the great nation of America, there was no shortage of guns and ammo.
With just a handgun, no matter how good Xu Yang was, it wouldn't matter.
Daniel even regretted not bringing a gun with him.
If he had brought a gun, Xu Yang would have had no chance to be so arrogant.
But he had only walked a few steps with his men when he heard a sequence of screams.
Glancing back, he saw the seven thugs already lying on the ground.
Daniel's complexion changed in an instant, and he found himself unable to move.
He thought he would at least be able to hold Xu Yang off for a while.
But now, after just a few steps, Xu Yang had taken care of those seven men.
Well, no point in running now. He couldn't escape.
Right after that, he felt a gust of wind beside him, followed immediately by two screams.
The two thugs carrying Kipling fell to the ground.
It was none other than Xu Yang who had acted.
He had to take these two out first to prevent Daniel from using Kipling as leverage.
Xu Yang kicked both thugs aside.
Now, the only one left chasing Kipling was Daniel.
Kipling, looking at Xu Yang, said with sincere gratitude, "Thank you."
Xu Yang waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't mention it; it was nothing."
Kipling earnestly replied, "For you, it was nothing, but for me, you are a lifesaver."
Xu Yang smiled, choosing not to dwell on the topic. Instead, he pointed at Daniel and asked, "What do you plan to do with this guy?"
Kipling said, "Let him go."
Xu Yang was stunned, "Let him go? He seems to want to kill you, don't you hate him?"
Kipling explained, "He was just following orders, and besides, even if he goes, he won't have a good ending."
Hearing this, Daniel shivered, his eyes flashing with fear.
What Kipling meant was that he wouldn't let him off the hook. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
The retribution of Europe's hidden families was not something the Louis Family could withstand.
He might indeed die, and the Louis Family might really be destroyed.
Xu Yang nodded, "Alright then, if you say so, we'll let him go."
Kipling added, "By the way, you said you wanted to teach him a lesson. Are you not going to do it anymore?"
Xu Yang shook his head with a smile, "Since you've agreed to let him go, there's no point in teaching him a lesson anymore. Besides, you said he won't have a good ending, didn't you?"
Kipling's words were clear to him.
It all boiled down to revenge.
This isn't surprising at all.
Kipling, as a member of a hidden family, almost got killed; he must seek revenge.
Not to mention Kipling, even Xu Yang would seek revenge.
Xu Yang has had dealings with hidden families before.
Hidden families are simply not comparable to the average business families and conglomerates.
He's only fearless because he has the system and various abilities.
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to bow in submission before the hidden families.
In any case, this Daniel is certainly not going to end up well.
Considering this, Xu Yang couldn't be bothered to pay attention anymore.
The most important thing is, every time they meet, it's not Daniel coming to trouble Xu Yang.
Rather, it is Daniel doing misdeeds, only to have them ruined by Xu Yang.
So, whether to teach Daniel a lesson or not, Xu Yang doesn't care.
Kipling nodded, "That's true, let him be sent packing then."
Xu Yang looked at Daniel, "Daniel, you can go now, and don't show up in front of me again."
Hearing these words, Daniel's face twisted with rage and he bellowed, "Do you have no shame? Who is showing up in front of whom? Don't forget, all three encounters today, it was you who spoiled my plans!"
He truly felt extremely aggrieved.
If it weren't for Xu Yang, he would have taken care of Chen Ling and acquired the technology.
If it weren't for Xu Yang, today's affair would have proceeded smoothly.
It was Xu Yang who appeared three times and ruined his plans.
And yet, Xu Yang had the audacity to tell him to keep out of sight.
It's completely unreasonable!
It's downright bullying!
Uh...
Xu Yang touched his nose with embarrassment.
From Daniel's perspective, he seemed like a classic villain, constantly sabotaging Daniel's prospects.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
It just so happened that he bumped into him.
The afternoon visit to the school coincided with Daniel capturing Chen Ling; it was a coincidence.
The evening visit to Chinatown coincided with Daniel taking advantage of Chen Ling and others; it was a coincidence.
And now, on the way back to the hotel, running into Daniel chasing Daniel was also a coincidence.
All three times were coincidences, without any inevitable connection.
What could he do? He felt helpless too.
Xu Yang helplessly said, "Alright, you go. I should be leaving the States soon anyway, we probably won't meet again. Do whatever you want."
Daniel shouted in anger, "You've rescued the people; what do you think I can do now? Do you realize that I can only wait for death?"
Xu Yang was startled, then responded, "Whether you live or die, that's your business, and you don't need to tell me about it."
Daniel knew that whatever he said to Xu Yang would be futile.
What mattered most now was to stop Kipling from seeking revenge on him, from taking it out on the Louis Family.
Otherwise, he was truly finished.
Therefore, he turned to Kipling, "Can you spare me?"
Kipling's eyes flickered, "Give me a reason."
"I can tell you who was behind the scenes, ordering me to attack you," Daniel offered.
Kipling shook his head, "Even if you don't tell me, I can find out."
Daniel's body trembled.
Yes, indeed, with the power of a hidden family, finding out who had instructed him to act would be all too simple.
Daniel gritted his teeth, "I am the heir to the Louis Family and can represent the Louis Family in promising compensation. Whatever we can afford, we will agree to."
Kipling smiled scornfully, "Do you think I would care about your compensation? Do you know what kind of family my Auston Family is?"
Daniel said, "I know you don't care, but my Louis Family has many high-quality assets and is involved in many industries that might interest you."
Kipling's eyes flickered, "Good, based on this statement and the decision you have made, you're not simple. I will consider it."
"Just consider it?" Daniel said.
Getting only consideration was unsettling for him.
