Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 570 Apologize

After Xu Ke finished speaking, although they were fuming with rage, they couldn't possibly pull away to kill him.

"Fine! Let's count down!" the Military Spike Assassin battling Shi Hongda quietly eased up on the pressure.

Shi Hongda nodded. They were desperate to separate and stop wasting energy. It was absolutely impossible for Shi Hongda and his companions to fight the Assassin's Alliance to the death. They were only blocking attacks for Xu Ke because they had been poisoned. Thus, the ceasefire proposed by their opponents perfectly aligned with their own wishes.

The reason they needed to count down before disengaging was because the spiritual lock between Innate Great Perfection experts was too powerful. If they didn't stop simultaneously, they could injure each other or suffer a backlash from their own True Qi. Because of this, they had to release their True Qi at the exact same moment after the countdown.

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

The words were barely out before the two assassins fighting Shi Hongda and the Yin Yang Elders immediately separated. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Aren't you going to stop?"

But the palm-wielding assassin fighting Tang Yingchang was in a terrible bind. He had assumed Tang Yingchang was about to pull back and had withdrawn some of his own strength. But the moment the countdown ended, Tang Yingchang unleashed a ferocious combination of blows, battering him so relentlessly that he stumbled back, his True Qi circulation thrown into chaos.

"I never agreed to stop," Tang Yingchang said without a hint of deference, continuing to effortlessly pressure his opponent.

"You're as despicable and shameless as your master!" the palm-wielding assassin bellowed.

Tang Yingchang just smirked, not bothering to deny it as he landed another punch.

BANG!

Seeing this, the assassin who had been fighting the Yin Yang Elders moved to help his comrade.

But Xu Ke glanced at the Yin Yang Elders. "Stop him."

"We're staying out of it!" the two elders refused in unison. They had already stood down and couldn't be bothered to help Xu Ke.

Xu Ke said coolly, "If he gets past you, you won't be getting the antidote."

He added, "I'm not asking you to kill him. Just stopping him isn't too much to ask, is it?"

The Yin Yang Elders' faces turned grim. They exchanged a look before roaring, "HALT!"

The assassin who was rushing forward froze, his expression under his mask turning absolutely foul.

The Military Spike Assassin glared at Xu Ke, his gaze sharp. "Call your man off. We're leaving!"

Seeing that the situation had slipped from their grasp, they had no intention of wasting any more time here. The real problem would be if they wasted too much time here, allowing the Ghoul Poison Elders to flee the country. Besides, once they left, Shi Hongda and the Yin Yang Elders would inevitably clash with Xu Ke over the poison. Since Xu Ke had poisoned them in secret, they were bound to fight back. Their presence here, however, was forcing the three to side with Xu Ke, making it impossible to kill him. Considering this, leaving was obviously the best choice.

"Leaving so soon? Why not stay a little longer?" Xu Ke asked with feigned confusion.

"Don't fucking play dumb! We're already letting you off easy by not killing you. Get your man to stop," the Military Spike Assassin cursed.

Xu Ke just laughed. "Well, in that case, Elder Tang, step it up. Finish him."

"Yes, sir!" Tang Yingchang's assault immediately grew more ferocious.

The palm-wielding assassin was once again at a severe disadvantage.

"You're courting death!" the Military Spike Assassin raged.

Xu Ke didn't even spare him a glance. "Elder Shi, he's all yours."

The Military Spike Assassin and Shi Hongda both felt like they were suffocating. It was unbearable. Absolutely unbearable!

Witnessing this, Bai Qian'er and her companions were utterly speechless. To see so many powerful figures being played in the palm of Xu Ke's hand was something they had never witnessed or even heard of.

Shi Hongda was so aggrieved that the wrinkles on his face seemed etched with pain. He looked at the Military Spike Assassin and said, "Don't make a move. It's for the best, for both of us."

"The hell it is! Am I supposed to just stand here while my man gets pummeled by Tang Yingchang?" the Military Spike Assassin practically roared.

"Then apologize, and I'll ask Elder Tang to let him go," Xu Ke said, standing up with a chuckle.

The Military Spike Assassin raged, "Are you messing with me?" Apologize?

Is he kidding? As if letting the guy go would mean I *hadn't* already offended the Assassin's Alliance.

"If you don't say you're sorry, he'll keep getting hit. He won't die, but a minor injury isn't a problem, right, Elder Tang?" Xu Ke asked, looking over at Tang Yingchang.

Tang Yingchang smiled slightly. "Of course not."

In a battle between Great Perfection masters, seizing the initiative was everything. In reality, the palm-wielding assassin wasn't actually that much weaker, but a few critical missteps had given Tang Yingchang too many openings, leaving him trapped and unable to advance or retreat.

The Military Spike Assassin gritted his teeth. "Xu Ke, are you really determined to make an enemy of our Assassin's Alliance?"

Xu Ke ignored him.

Seeing that he was being ignored, the Military Spike Assassin's face turned green with rage, but he truly didn't want to apologize. It would be an incredible loss of face.

Just then, the palm-wielding assassin cried out in pain as Tang Yingchang finally landed a solid blow on his shoulder. "AHH—!"

He whipped his head around and howled at the Military Spike Assassin, "Damn it, just apologize to the kid! I can't take it anymore!" His shout was thick with grief and indignation.

To be played for a fool by some young brat is one thing. But my own comrade won't apologize because of his pride? Damn it all! What is face worth? Isn't my life more important?

Even Tang Yingchang, who was fully focused on suppressing his opponent, couldn't help but feel a laugh bubbling up.

"Xu Ke! Tell Tang Yingchang to stop! I... I'll apologize!" the Military Spike Assassin ground out, his eyes locked on Xu Ke.

"Louder. And say it to me in Chinese and at least two other languages. With conviction," Xu Ke said, pressing his luck.

Everyone present was silent.

"This is so infuriating..." Duan Zhuo'e muttered.

"You—" The Military Spike Assassin was so furious his legs began to shake.

After taking another punch from Tang Yingchang in the ensuing chaos, the palm-wielding assassin roared, "DO IT! DAMN IT, DON'T YOU SPEAK SIX LANGUAGES?"

"I'm sorry... Sorry... Lo siento," the Military Spike Assassin squeezed out through clenched teeth.

"What about you? Your turn!" But Xu Ke wasn't satisfied, turning his gaze to the assassin who had fought the Yin Yang Elders.

Swallowing his pride, that assassin quickly apologized as well—in French, no less.

Seeing this, Shi Hongda's group and Bai Qian'er's group remained silent. This scene was simply too absurd.

Seeing the two of them glare at him as if they wanted to eat him alive after their apologies, Xu Ke simply smiled and waved his hand. "Elder Tang, let him go."

"Yes!" Tang Yingchang nodded slightly.

After a three-second countdown, the two opponents tacitly separated.

Once the palm-wielding assassin was clear of Tang Yingchang's attack range, all three assassins stared daggers at Xu Ke.

"Stop looking at me. Go on back. I won't hold this against you," Xu Ke said with a dismissive wave, completely unintimidated by their murderous aura.

At that, the three didn't even bother with threats. They took a deep breath, turned, and left. They swore in their hearts that they would see Xu Ke dead.

BANG—

The slam of the car door was deafening, as if they were trying to rip it from its hinges.

VROOM.

The car slowly pulled away.

At this moment, Tang Yingchang leaned closer to Xu Ke and whispered, "Mister Xu, we've stalled for so long. The other two should have taken care of things by now, right?"

"Yeah, they should be done by now..." Xu Ke murmured.
