Chapter 451: Yang Qi’s father, Yang Qingshan?
Although Li Qiuyu already knew what was inside, she was still thrilled.
SNAP!
The box opened, and a dazzling brilliance burst forth. Everyone gasped in amazement. The jewelry inside was exquisitely crafted, and the gems on it seemed to possess a life of their own.
"This gift, which I acquired for one billion Dragon Coins, is the precious treasure known as Eternal Youth," Hidetoshi Kamishiro proudly declared. "The woman who wears it will remain forever young. This expresses my deepest love for my wife. By the way, if anyone here doubts it, take a look—there are various certificates of authenticity inside!"
In the crowd, Zhao Xiong shook his head. The happier she is now, the more miserable she’ll be later.
"My darling, I love you, for all eternity!" Li Qiuyu exclaimed, excitedly putting the necklace around her neck.
She failed to notice the sinister expression on Hidetoshi Kamishiro’s face.
At that moment, Hidetoshi Kamishiro was recalling his conversation with Chuyun Mo.
*"Stepfather, is this necessary? To give such an extravagant gift to that woman from Dragon Country? You know I’m just playing along," Hidetoshi had said.*
*"What do you know? This is how you win hearts. We need her to work for us wholeheartedly!" Chuyun Mo had replied. "Besides, what does she know about treasure? After the wedding, just find an opportunity to swap it with a well-made fake. That foolish woman will remain blissfully ignorant. She’ll never know the truth."*
*"You’re truly wise, stepfather. Very well, let’s proceed with that plan."*
Hidetoshi Kamishiro had been overjoyed. He had no actual affection for Li Qiuyu; it was all for his stepfather’s plan. The actress who had come to present the gift was Hidetoshi’s true love. Of course, he wouldn’t let Li Qiuyu know any of this for the time being.
Watching the delighted Li Qiuyu before him, he cursed inwardly, Idiot!
Next came the giving of wedding gifts. None of the guests were poor. The smallest gifts were worth over a hundred thousand, while others gave gifts worth hundreds of thousands. Chuyun Mo himself gave a gift of one hundred million—quite the generous sum. Mitsuhide Kamishiro gave two hundred million! Jiang Meiyu and the others were grinning from ear to ear.
Li Qiutong and Li Qiuyu both glanced outside, but Yang Qi was still nowhere to be seen.
Mitsuhide Kamishiro and Chuyun Mo also looked outside. There was still no sign of the big boss of the Qifei Group.
Suddenly, the low thud of approaching footsteps echoed through the hall. Ordinary people might not have heard it, but Mitsuhide Kamishiro heard it clearly. He abruptly stood up.
A master! Those are the footsteps of a master.
The directors of the Heavenly Dog Society also rose to their feet. The experts from the Four Gates and Six Families all turned their gaze in that direction. The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie. What should have been a lively wedding scene fell deathly silent. Only the sound of footsteps, relentlessly drawing nearer, could be heard.
GULP!
Someone swallowed nervously.
He’s coming! He’s really coming! It must be the owner of the Qifei Group. Is his mysterious identity finally going to be revealed?
The footsteps grew louder and closer.
Li Qiuyu and Li Qiutong heard them too. Their previous excitement and pride were suddenly replaced by tension. Their hearts began to pound wildly in their chests.
Suddenly, a ray of sunlight shone upon the doorway. Within the light, a figure slowly appeared. Countless eyes turned to watch. He was dressed in simple cloth robes, looking less like a modern man and more like a Sword Immortal from the legends of Shushan.
The man appeared to be in his thirties, quite young. Yet for some reason, he gave off the impression of someone who had experienced a great deal. His actual age was likely much older than his appearance suggested. The middle-aged man smiled as he looked over the grand wedding, then his gaze locked onto the standing Mitsuhide Kamishiro.
He started walking forward, his hands clasped behind his back, his body seeming almost weightless. Suddenly, he stopped. "I am Yang Qingshan, the owner of the Qifei Group," he announced. "That’s right, Yang Qi is my son!"
In reality, this was none other than Yang Qi himself. He had deliberated for a long time and decided to impersonate his father. His father’s name was Yang Qingshan, and his face was one Yang Qi had seen in past dreams. The tool he used to change his appearance was, naturally, the Demon Fox Mask. Even his voice and demeanor were different. Yang Qi was well aware that there were many masters in this world, so it was best not to reveal his true identity lightly, especially the fact that he was a Cultivator. The persona of Yang Qingshan was a shield that could protect him from certain dangers.
An uproar swept through the venue. The owner of the Qifei Group had arrived, and he had revealed his true identity! This was different from when he faced Cao Shaqing; this time, he had announced who he was.
Yang Qi’s father! But he looks so young. Is it just that he takes really good care of himself?
Li Qiuyu and Li Qiutong were stunned. Yang Qi actually has a father? We’ve never heard anything about it. Wasn’t he an orphan who grew up in an orphanage? And his father is the owner of the Qifei Group? Doesn’t that mean Yang Qi is the Young Master of the Qifei Group? Damn it! That loser... on what grounds?!
"Sister, don’t worry. Even if he is the Young Master of the Qifei Group, he’s no match for us!" Li Qiuyu comforted her sister.
"So you are the owner of the Qifei Group, Yang Qingshan," Mitsuhide Kamishiro said as he stepped forward. "You’re the one who killed Shengong Jiunan, aren’t you?" He couldn’t be bothered with Yang Qi anymore. His target was the owner of the Qifei Group.
"Correct," Yang Qi replied indifferently. "It wasn’t just Shengong Jiunan. I also killed the four council members, including Wang Yun."
WHAT!
The crowd gasped in shock, only now understanding. They had always been perplexed. With the Lei Tingjun’s Combat Power, it should have been impossible to kill Wang Yun and the other three. So it was Yang Qingshan, the owner of the Qifei Group, who had done it.
"Do you know what fate awaits you for coming here today?" Mitsuhide Kamishiro was not at all surprised, as he had already guessed as much.
"I’ve come today to give you a gift." Yang Qi smiled and then waved his hand.
Behind him, Iron Heart slowly emerged. He was carrying a coffin on his shoulder, which he then placed on the ground.
"We’re a bit short-staffed, so I could only bring one coffin," Yang Qi chuckled as Iron Heart retreated. "As for who gets to use it, you can figure that out yourselves!"
BOOM!
At that moment, the entire venue fell silent once more.
Damn. Bringing a coffin to someone’s wedding. How... unique.
"Don’t you think you’re going a bit too far? Today is my sister’s wedding," Li Qiutong said, frowning.
Yang Qi’s gaze locked onto Li Qiutong, and he sneered. "You want to talk about going too far? When you crawled into another man’s bed, I didn’t see you worrying about going too far. When you incited that man to harm my son, you didn’t think *that* was going too far. So what? I bring one coffin, and suddenly *that’s* going too far? Let me tell you something. No one gets to bully my son! No one! Anyone who does will pay the price!"
