Chapter 150: Get on Your Knees
The Xiao Family party arrived at the gate of Young Master Yang's villa.
As a rich scion obsessed with pleasure, Young Master Yang had moved out of his family's estate long ago, all to escape their nagging and party more freely!
He had already gotten word and was waiting outside with a crowd of his men.
When he saw the car arrive, his already grim expression turned even more vicious.
Yesterday, Xiao Ye had caused him such a massive loss of face.
Today, he had to get his own back, no matter what!
In fact, he would get it back a thousandfold!
To that end, he hadn't slept a wink last night, racking his brain for more ways to torment him.
Thankfully, his efforts paid off, and he had indeed come up with a few ideas!
Soon, not only would he enact his plan, but he'd also have it filmed so he could enjoy it again and again!
He would also use this as an opportunity to show everyone else the consequences of messing with him!
The car slowly rolled to a stop, and the members of the Xiao Family disembarked.
Xiao Ye was supposedly here to apologize, yet he was the last one out of the car. He then strode to the very front, acting like some pampered young lord.
Young Master Yang stared at his face, recalling the events of last night, his eyes practically dripping with venom.
"Xiao Ye, since you're here to apologize, get on your knees!"
The entire Xiao Family turned to look at Xiao Ye.
"That's right! What are you spacing out for, kid? Hurry up and kneel!"
"Didn't you hear what Young Master Yang said?"
"Hey! Are you deaf, kid? Looks like we'll have to force you!"
Not only did Xiao Ye not move, he sneered. "Heh, you actually have the nerve to demand an apology from me."
Young Master Yang's face darkened. "You offended me, yet you refuse to apologize. Do you really think you can still make it in the Imperial City?"
"Let me tell you something. A country bumpkin like you? All I have to do is give a little squeeze, and you're dead!"
"Even if you leave the Imperial City, finding you would be a trivial matter for me!"
Xiao Ye nodded. "Fair enough. Money makes the world go round."
The Xiao Family couldn't watch this any longer and immediately barked, "Xiao Ye, what are you standing there for? Kneel, now!"
"Young Master Yang, we brought him here ourselves. We are being completely sincere!"
"But this brat is disobedient. Rest assured, we will give you a proper explanation, even if it means disowning our own kin!"
After saying this, one of the Xiao Family members standing behind Xiao Ye actually lifted his foot to kick him in the back of the leg.
But as soon as his leg moved, Xiao Ye anticipated it. With a swift side kick, he sent the man sprawling to the ground.
Xiao Ye slowly drew back his leg and, under a barrage of furious stares, smiled faintly. "You really are a bunch of pathetic cowards."
"It's bad enough you won't seek justice for your own family, but you're this eager to act like clowns!"
"Who are you calling a clown! Take a look in the mirror! Do you think someone like you is even worthy of us fighting for you?"
"Do you think this is your village? This is the Imperial City! Here, power is everything!"
"You provoked Young Master Yang, so right or wrong, you should be the one to apologize! Don't drag the whole family down with you!"
"It's bad enough that you're unrepentant, but you dare to strike your own family! You're a truly ungrateful wretch! Without the Xiao Family, you wouldn't even be alive!"
Xiao Ye ignored their shouting and turned to Young Master Yang. "Speak. How do you want me to apologize?"
Young Master Yang thought Xiao Ye was just scared and putting on a brave face. "So you want to apologize, huh?" he roared.
"Fine, then listen up! If you want me to forgive you, you'll do exactly as I say!"
"First, you're going to kneel on the ground and bark like a dog! You'll keep barking, and you'll crawl around sniffing things, just like a real dog!"
"You can stop when I'm satisfied with your barking!"
"Second... don't dogs like to eat shit? You're going to eat some for me! Men, bring it up!"
Immediately, one of the men behind him stepped forward, holding a plastic container. Inside was nothing other than a piece of shit!
Seeing this, the members of the Xiao Family couldn't help but recoil, their faces filled with disgust.
Young Master Yang looked extremely smug. This was the brilliant idea he'd come up with last night. "Well? Get to it."
"Once I'm satisfied with your barking, you'll eat this. As for what comes next... we'll see how you perform."
"If you do a good job, I'll let you off. If not, you'll keep going!"
Of course, whether his performance was "good" or not would be entirely up to him.
Young Master Yang loved toying with people like this—letting his prey feel a glimmer of hope before shattering it with his own hands!
Xiao Ye nodded and took a step forward.
Just as everyone thought he was about to kneel, he took a sudden lunge, appearing directly in front of Young Master Yang.
Then, he lifted his foot and kicked viciously at Young Master Yang's shin!
THUD!
Young Master Yang fell heavily to his knees.
Xiao Ye shoved his head down. "Bark like a dog! I'll let you go when I'm satisfied!"
"Young Master Yang!"
The Yang Family's men instantly moved to intervene.
"Don't move," Xiao Ye said, whipping out a dagger and holding it close to Young Master Yang's neck. "Anyone who takes another step can prepare to collect his corpse!"
The men froze. Their orders were to protect Young Master Yang.
If anything happened to him, the rest of the Yang Family would never let them off the hook!
Xiao Ye smiled. "That's more like it."
He patted Young Master Yang's terrified face twice with the cold flat of the blade. "What are you waiting for? Start barking!"
At this point, the members of the Xiao Family were scared witless.
They never imagined Xiao Ye would be so brazen!
It was one thing to refuse to apologize, but to humiliate Young Master Yang again was unthinkable!
"Xiao Ye, you... you're courting death! Let him go, now!"
"Let go of Young Master Yang! If you want to die, don't drag the entire Xiao Family down with you!"
"If you dare harm a single hair on his head, we'll wash our hands of you! You can't handle the Yang Family's retaliation!"
Though terrified, Young Master Yang found a sliver of courage upon hearing the Xiao Family's words.
"Y-You... let me go, now!"
"Didn't you hear them? If you dare do anything to me, the Xiao Family will abandon you!"
Xiao Ye laughed softly. "They've never cared about me. They have no right to tell me what to do."
The Xiao Family members flared up. "Who said we don't care about you? Your very life is a gift from the Xiao Family!"
"You have Xiao Family blood running through your veins! That makes you one of us!"
"Let him go! If you don't, don't blame us for putting justice before family!"
Of course, Xiao Ye had no intention of letting go. He gave them all a scornful look. "A bunch of useless trash."
"I refuse to believe I have the blood of cowards running through my veins!"
With that, he pressed the dagger against Young Master Yang's neck again. "I'll give you to the count of three. Start crawling."
"Three... two...!"
"D-Don't count! I'll crawl! I'll crawl!"
Young Master Yang was trembling uncontrollably as he begged for mercy.
He could feel the bone-chilling killing intent coming from Xiao Ye!
If he didn't do as he was told, he might actually die!
As he began to crawl slowly, Young Master Yang started shouting, "Woof! Woof! Woof!"
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
This was a humiliation the likes of which he had never before experienced.
But in order to live, he had no other choice.
In that moment, it was as if he had truly become a dog.
