God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me-Chapter 707: It’s Too Late to Back Down Now!
"Ah? Xiao Jie... how did you end up like this? Your hands and feet, your Dantian, your Martial Arts Qi... ah..."
Huo Liancheng's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he looked at the Huo Jie in front of him.
Huo Jie had been tortured to the point of no longer looking human, but what was key was that his limbs were broken, his Dantian was completely destroyed, and he had become an utter invalid.
Do you have any idea how much effort the Huo Family had put into training Huo Jie to become a Martial Master at the Venerable Peak?
And now, just as he was about to become a Martial Emperor-level expert, he had been crippled just like that?
Without a successor capable of reaching the Martial Emperor Level, the Huo Family had almost lost their qualifications to take charge in the Capital...
"Who did this?"
Although Huo Liancheng saw the two big shots, Shadow and Min Hong, at this moment, he couldn't suppress the rage in his heart and burst out in anger.
"It was them!"
Ye Fan smiled calmly and pulled out his cell phone, handing it to Huo Liancheng, "Take a good look, Steward Huo!"
The video on Ye Fan's phone clearly showed Liu Motian and Minister Wang breaking Huo Jie's limbs.
"For the sake of compensating eight billion? Because there wasn't enough money, so you used Xiao Jie's limbs as compensation? Have you all lost your minds?" Huo Liancheng raged at Minister Wang and Liu Motian, especially Minister Wang, who had been heavily invested in by the Huo Family to be groomed as a pawn and future supporter for the Huo Family's expansion in the Capital.
Now look at what had happened, he had intended for Minister Wang to come today to provide assistance, but instead, that guy had gone and crippled the Huo Family's future representative!
Damn it!
This matter was definitely not so simple. Even though the video was right there, Huo Liancheng was still unsatisfied!
"What on earth happened?" Huo Liancheng shouted at Liu Motian and Minister Wang.
But at this moment, Minister Wang and Liu Motian were already under the control of the Prime Minister Manor and Town Martial Hall's experts, they couldn't utter a word, only making "ah ah ah" noises, desperately trying to express themselves clearly, but they were unable to speak.
"I also thought their methods were too cruel, so Steward Huo... I simply couldn't stand by and did a favor for the Huo Family by teaching them a lesson! Speaking of which, the Huo Family still owes me a favor!" Ye Fan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Huo Liancheng and reached out to take his cell phone back from Huo Liancheng's hand.
"..." Huo Liancheng was speechless in frustration, the Huo Family owed you a favor?
How the hell do you have the nerve to say that?
"So you must be Fan Ye, right? Ling Yifei's boyfriend? Hmph! Kid, you've chosen the wrong place to run wild by stealing the Huo Family's bride-to-be... This matter, the Huo Family isn't finished with you!" Huo Liancheng glanced over the situation at the scene.
Town Martial Hall and the Prime Minister Manor had intervened, it was unclear if it was Ling Yanqiu's power or the power of the Fan Ye right before him. But one thing was certain, the plans the Huo Family had for today were definitely not going to work out.

The original idea was to make use of Second Master Ling's influence to secure an alliance through marriage with Ling Yifei and force Ling Yanqiu to step down in order to seize control of the Ling Family.
But now, with Ling Bo convulsing non-stop on the ground, and Ling Yanqiu standing here completely unharmed, with several big shots from the Town Martial Hall watching like tigers, what was there left to play for?
With this situation, it was time to beat a quick retreat!
While berating aloud, Huo Liancheng signaled to a few of his men to carry the unconscious Huo Jie and attempted to leave the scene.
But Min Hong and Shadow let out a bellow and blocked Huo Liancheng, "Huo Liancheng, you think you can come and go as you please? What do you take the Capital for?"
Huh?
The Town Martial Hall's two big shots were directly stopping him?
This left Huo Liancheng extremely shocked. He knew that the Huo Family had some connections within the Town Martial Hall. Once, the Huo Family even served as a supplier for the internal operations of the Town Martial Hall, so there should have been some consideration due to this relationship. Was the Town Martial Hall now disregarding all sentiment?
"Lord of Shadows? Captain Min... What, have I, Huo Liancheng, done anything illegal? Is it such a crime to come to the Capital?" Seeing that the other party didn't give any face, Huo Liancheng laid it all out, "I haven't done anything illegal. The Town Martial Hall can't just arrest people without reason, right?"
Boom!
Shadow was quick-tempered and grabbed Huo Liancheng by the shoulder with one swift move, throwing him to the ground face first, "Does the Town Martial Hall need a reason to arrest someone?"
"Furthermore," Shadow said coldly as he swept his gaze over everyone present, "according to Article thirty-two of the Town Martial Hall's regulations, any practitioner above the Grandmaster Realm who enters the Capital must report in advance. If one fails to report, they must return with the Town Martial Hall for investigation. Come along with us now." Shadow warned, "A warning: anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
The Chief Director was just in front of his eyes, and naturally, Shadow had to do his duty well.
He had seen Ye Fan's methods.
Just a month ago, when Chen Yao handed over the Town Martial Hall to Ye Fan, Shadow had been unconvinced and only submitted to Ye Fan because he resolutely followed Chen Yao's orders.
But afterward, with the commotion Ye Fan stirred up in Guangcheng, the Death Sea Area, Gu Sect, and then the Northwest, the Capital... Shadow was thoroughly convinced by this future Chief Director.
Ye Fan's strategies, methods, and strength... definitely surpassed that of the director and were sure to lead the Town Martial Hall to another era of glory.
Therefore, when Shadow performed his duties, he did so with extra vigor!
"Ah?" Shadow's words left Huo Liancheng speechless on the spot.
As an elder and expert who had experienced the tumultuous years of Great Xia, he naturally knew that there was such a regulation in the Town Martial Hall, established to maintain the stability of Great Xia.
However, in recent years, no one really looked into such matters.
But now that the Town Martial Hall was invoking these regulations, people like Huo Liancheng had no choice but to comply.
"I... Lord of Shadows, we clearly haven't done anything wrong... what do you want to investigate?" Huo Liancheng asked anxiously, "Can we take our people and leave the Capital immediately, and never enter the Capital again?"
Huo Liancheng looked at Shadow, then at Min Hong, and finally fixed his gaze on Ye Fan, "Young Master Fan, please let us off. Our Huo Family's engagement with Miss Ling... we'll annul it from now on, and we will never think of Miss Ling again!"
Huo Liancheng clenched his teeth and immediately took out the betrothal documents and tore them to shreds on the spot.
This plan, which the Huo Family had schemed for many years, was ruined in an instant!
But Huo Liancheng knew that he absolutely could not be taken away today! Otherwise, once inside the Town Martial Hall, with their methods, even if the Huo Family was not at fault, they would still find something to accuse them of!
Whew!
Ling Yifei watched the betrothal agreement being torn up and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Although that engagement was forced upon her and spearheaded by her second uncle, thus invalid, within the grand families, one usually had no say over their own engagement. If it weren't for Fan Ye's disruption today, Ling Yifei would most likely have had to comply with the family's decision for the sake of family interests.
But now... with the marriage contract torn, Ling Yifei felt as though the chains binding her had been released, and her body felt incredibly light.
She could finally love Fan Ye without any reservations!
Ling Yifei couldn't help but hold Ye Fan tighter... the proverb states 'a close neighbor is better than a distant relative,' so why not take the opportunity today to have an intimate talk with this naughty guy?
Although shy, Ling Yifei was looking forward to it!
Anyway, getting up close and personal with Ye Fan meant she would receive that magical warm flow, and she wouldn't be at a loss...
