Kurumi spoke very seriously, her exquisite face bearing a captivating smile.
Gu Qingfeng had no better solution. She wouldn't go back, and he couldn't very well knock her out and forcibly take her away!
If she wants to stay, then let her stay.
Waiting is always long. For the first time, Li Jun felt that an hour was so long. His right arm was useless, and he was suffering from great pain all the time.
All his hopes were pinned on his father. Just as Li Jun was about to collapse from the pain and faint, a commotion of footsteps sounded outside the door.
A kind-looking middle-aged man walked in, followed by several armed bodyguards and dozens of knife-wielding henchmen blocking the doorway.
Seeing that Li Jun was unharmed and had no broken arms or legs, Li Yang relaxed, but upon closer inspection, Li Jun's face was deathly pale.
His right arm was bent at an extremely strange angle. When he saw his father arrive, Li Jun shouted wildly.
"Dad, kill him! You must kill him! I want his whole family wiped out!"
Li Jun was almost insane, babbling incoherently and completely forgetting that he was being controlled by someone else. He kept pointing at Gu Qingfeng and yelling.
"Friend, I'll say it again: if you release my son, I can pretend this never happened; otherwise, my Li family will fight you to the death."
As expected of the current head of the Li family, Li Yang's personality was much more composed than that of his good-for-nothing son, and he coldly countered the threat.
Gu Qingfeng ignored Li Yang's words and instead asked a very strange question.
"Is this all the men you have? Can you call more? I can give you some more time."
Li Yang thought Gu Qingfeng must have gone mad. Several pistols were pointed at him, and he was surrounded by his own men. How could he still be so arrogant?
"I heard from Li Jun that you defeated the martial arts master I hired at great expense, but what era are we living in now? The world is full of firearms. I can send someone to snipe you from a distance whenever I want."
Hearing Li Yang's words, Gu Qingfeng nodded.
Li Yang was pleased that he knew when to back down instead of fighting to the bitter end.
"That's right, having more friends means having more options. Let's just let this matter go today."
When Li Jun heard him say "forget it, I'm not doing it anymore," he started shouting wildly.
"No, that won't do. We must kill this bastard."
Gu Qingfeng nodded
"If there's no one else, then you should just die."
He slowly raised his hand, gathering energy in one palm. A blue energy ball condensed and was aimed at Li Yang and his group from afar.
"Gathering Qi into a form, a grandmaster's skill. Could you be a martial arts grandmaster? I'm sorry, I'm not going to get involved in this matter. You can do whatever you want with my son."
Li Yang panicked, completely panicked. There were only a handful of martial arts grandmasters even in the capital. If a family had just one martial arts grandmaster, it could instantly become one of the strongest second-rate families.
In the eyes of a martial arts master, he, a third-rate, bottom-tier family head, was no different from an ant. This brat must hate me to death.
Hesitation only leads to more trouble. Li Yang decisively gave up on Li Jun. He could have another son, but if Li Jun died, everything would be over.
Li Jun never expected that his father, who always doted on him, would say such a thing.
"What? Dad, you're not going to care about me anymore? I'm your only son!"
Li Yang quickly distanced himself from the relationship between the two, as he didn't want to be misunderstood by Gu Qingfeng.
"You arranged for someone to kill that kid. I knew nothing about it at first. Blood debts should be repaid in blood, it has nothing to do with me."
Li Jun, pushed to his limit, disregarded the fact that Li Yang was his father and immediately began to curse.
"Didn't you tell me to pursue Faye Wong? Now that things have gone wrong, you're selling me out?"
"It's such a loving father and filial son, it's so heartwarming to watch. But I've had enough of the dog-eat-dog scenes."
Gu Qingfeng appeared beside Li Yang and the others with a single finger and a burst of energy, as if by magic, accompanied by a loud bang.
The area within a radius of several meters around the entrance was completely barren, with a crater several meters deep blasted out. Several armed bodyguards and Li Yang at the center of the explosion disappeared, leaving only flowing blood and severed limbs in the crater.
"dad"
Li Jun let out a desperate scream, but his body was controlled and he could not move freely. No matter how cruel he spoke, this was still his biological father, who watched him die.
Li Jun's mental state collapsed. If he hadn't provoked Gu Qingfeng, none of this would have happened.
Gu Qingfeng's eyes showed no pity as he indifferently looked at Li Jun.
"Do you know any other important people? I can wait a bit, there's no rush."
"Don't blame your family. I sent people to kill you, so why won't you spare my father's life?"
Li Jun glared at Gu Qingfeng with resentment. Although Li Yang had just tried his best to distance himself from him, he couldn't deny the love his father had shown him since childhood.
"When you attacked my parents, why didn't you think of this? Why didn't you consider sparing their lives? Since there's no one left to call on, you should die too."
Seeing Li Jun's expression, Gu Qingfeng knew he had achieved his goal and didn't want to waste any more time. He reached out and grabbed Li Jun's neck, squeezing it hard.
Li Jun's pupils dilated, and he lost all vitality.
"Oh dear, how cruel! They wiped them all out without sparing a single one."
Kurumi also started from the sofa and skipped over to Gu Qingfeng's side, showing no discomfort because Gu Qingfeng had killed someone.
However, a look of surprise still flashed in her eyes. In her mind, Li Yang was bound to die, but she did not expect Gu Qingfeng to be so ruthless.
Without giving him a chance to explain, he killed several people directly. Even the group of henchmen outside the door were sent on their way by Gu Qingfeng with a gas blast.
In the past, when chatting in the group, Gu Qingfeng always acted like an older brother, taking good care of everyone in the group. Even when doing missions in the One Piece world, he would try his best not to kill anyone.
"I won't give my enemies the chance to retaliate against my family. I have no interest in playing games with them."
Gu Qingfeng glanced back at the upstairs, then turned and left the villa, with Kurumi following behind him with a smile.
"Are we just going to leave that woman here? It's not a good idea to just abandon her like that."
"Ban's illusion will only make her sleep for two hours, and it will be time for her to wake up soon. She will go home on her own, and there is no need to see her again."
Gu Qingfeng's words sounded very cold. If Kurumi could see his eyes, she would have noticed that Gu Qingfeng's eyes were full of bitterness when he said those words.
Faye Wong fulfilled all his fantasies about love, and this blow is not just a simple breakup.
This also caused Gu Qingfeng to stop yearning for love and no longer dare to believe in anyone's love for him.
Why arrange for two people who are clearly not meant to be together to meet?
"You've killed so many people, isn't there any organization in this world that can investigate or arrest you?"
Kurumi didn't want to dwell on this topic, so she immediately changed the subject.
Gu Qingfeng looked up at the sky. To be honest, he didn't know either, and he wasn't sure when the authorities would come to find him.
However, he was certain of one thing: there was indeed a woman walking towards him.
A black tracksuit couldn't hide the woman's graceful figure; a strong aura of a mature, sophisticated woman emanated from her.
"Honorable martial arts master, I am the owner of this villa area. You can call me Chen Zili."
Gu Qingfeng glanced at her, the killing intent in his eyes not yet completely faded, and said in an icy tone.
"Hmm, what do you want from me? Are you planning to ask me to compensate you for the damage to your house?"
The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly, tossing her long, flowing hair aside, and spoke in a sweet, fragrant voice.
"You're joking. I don't even care about a mere villa. I'm just here to make friends with you. I'll help you clean up the mess."
"Give me a reason to help me."
Gu Qingfeng's words were quite blunt, making it seem as if Gu Qingfeng was helping her, rather than the other way around.
"It's rare to find even one martial arts master among ten thousand martial artists. Although your fighting style is a bit strange, I still want to build a good relationship with you."
Haibei is just a small county town, but for a woman to be able to build her own villa in such a small county town, the power behind her must be considerable.
There were surveillance cameras all around the villa. She couldn't see Gu Qingfeng making a move inside the house, but she did see him throw out a gas blast that killed the henchmen outside the door.
The master's ability to gather qi into a blade is undeniable; he offended the Li family in exchange for an opportunity to curry favor with a martial arts master.
