"By the time everyone else reacted, the bearded man had already left the scene."
Jake recovered from his daze and shrieked in fury, "Go after him and kill him! Daring to steal from the Lainhartmann family, you'll be pursued even to the ends of the earth, no matter how deeply you dig."
The four guardians of the dark forces also caught on and chased after.
The scene was completely chaotic. Someone actually dared to steal something from the dark forces. This is too crazy!
Jake no longer had the arrogance from earlier. With a pitiful look on his face, he reported the situation to his grandfather.
The Dark Lord nearly spat blood upon hearing this, cursing fiercely: "Jack, you're a dumb ass! You screw up even such a trivial matter. What else can you do? You're not satisfied until you make me angry! How dare you live with such face! Why don't you just die, you idiot!"
Jake was roasted by his grandfather, his face turning as red as a tomato. He knew that his grandfather was truly angry this time, and he dared not argue. As soon as the call ended, he ordered John to mobilize all the dark forces to investigate the information about the bearded man, starting from the mercenary army.
Mo Wenjie, moving at an extremely rapid pace, evaded the pursuit of everyone. He changed his clothes and removed his disguise in a remote area, blending into the crowd. Without any reservation, he arrived at the auction site where chaos reigned. No one would care about an unknown layman here. Observing the crowd leaving the scene after animated discussions, he also left with them.
Suddenly, someone blocked his path. "You are not allowed to leave!"
Mo Wenjie looked at the person blocking his way and asked, "On what grounds do you prevent me from leaving?"
The person said, "Our miss wants to see you!"
Mo Wenjie was utterly confused. "Your miss wants to see me? I don't know her, why should I go to see her? It's not the case that she comes to see me."
The person scolded him, "Do you know who our miss is? It's an honor for her to see you. Why do you dare to make her come see you? You really have no sense of right and wrong."
Mo Wenjie, upon hearing this, felt his temper rising. "If you want to see me, come over. If not, I'll leave. Can you stop me?"
The person was equally unyielding. "Today, if you don't go with us to see the miss, you won't be leaving this place."
Mo Wenjie's anger inside was starting to get out of control. He secretly said to himself, "No one in Long Country dares to be arrogant in front of me. I bear it because they are my countrymen. What are you guys? You also dare to be arrogant in front of me? If you don't beat you until you find no teeth on the ground, I'm not your grandfather Mo." He was just about to take action.
Suddenly, a voice came, "Bond, how did I tell you? Beloved Mo is my savior. I asked you to invite him here, but this is how you do it. Apologize to Beloved Mo immediately, or else leave the Lainhartmann family!"
Bond bowed to Mo Wenjie, just preparing to apologize.
A voice came, "Bond, who made you apologize to the Long Chinese? Don't listen to him!"
Everyone looked towards the direction where the voice came from. Jack stood there with a high and mighty attitude.
Liza, angry, said, "It's me who told him to apologize to Beloved Mo. Do you have a problem?"
Jack extended one finger and shook it, saying, "No, no, no. We are not underlings of the Lainhartmann family. We don't need to apologize to anyone."
Lisa's face turned extremely ugly as she said, "Jack, do you know he is my savior? Bond disrespected him, so he must apologize. If you continue to hinder me, don't blame me for not giving you face."
Jack still didn't take Lisa's words seriously. He addressed Mo Wenjie, "You have the right to ask us from the Lainhartmann family to apologize? Do you realize what reality is? The Lainhartmann family is like a god in the eyes of ordinary people. Are you a commoner who deserves it? I have to tell you, keep away from my sister. She's not someone you can aspire to. Don't think that because you saved my sister, you have any kind of fantasy about her. You're not qualified!"
As Lisa listened, she grew angrier, her white rabbits trembling almost in anger. She spoke with a fiery passion, "Jackson, you dummy, do you know how much trouble you're causing the family? Instead of rushing to recover the jade pendant and make up for the loss, you're still here acting like a big shot. Don't you fear that Grandpa will find out and punish you?"
As Jack heard the word "grandpa", his legs weakened, but he quickly recovered. This was Hong Kong, where Grandpa was a big shot. He couldn't possibly come to such a place. So, what was there to be afraid of? He wasn't going to back down either. "I look down on him," he said defiantly. "What can you do to me?"
Lisa was also helpless. If she hit Jack, she could definitely beat him up and kick the bucket, but the family would surely punish her. After all, the Lainhartmann family, with its thousand-year-old heritage, had its own rules and regulations. Beating a brother was not acceptable; she could only approach Mo Wenjie and said: "Beloved Mo, he's my brother and I can't strike him. Please vent your anger on me!"
Mo Wenjie smiled and shook his head. "Lisa, I told you before that saving you was purely a coincidence. There's no need for you to act like this. We've been separated since then and there's nothing between us anymore. You and I have no further connection. Today, out of respect for you, I'll overlook it and not hold him to the same standard. If he dares to disrespect me again in the future, I can't guarantee that I won't kill him."
Upon hearing this, Jack laughed loudly. "Little boy, you're pretty arrogant! Do you know who you're talking to? I'm Jack Lainhartmann, the future heir of the Lainhartmann family and the future master of the dark forces. My identity in the Western world is feared by many rulers who have to bow before me. What credentials do you have as a young man from Long Country to confront me like this? I can make you disappear in an instant if I'm not in a good mood."
Mo Wenjie, with a cold smile, said: "You should thank yourself for having a good sister. Otherwise, you would have been dead long ago. I really don't know where your confidence comes from. Is it just because of the people around you? It's ridiculous!"
Lisa hurriedly gave Mo Wenjie a look to stop him from speaking. The four guardians are top-tier existences in the dark forces, both in terms of status and strength. She feared that if the four guardians were displeased and directly killed Mo Wenjie, her heart would be shattered forever, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she would feel as desolate as if she had nothing left to live for.
Mo Wenjie looked at Lisa's extremely pale face and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. They still can't do anything to me."
Jack's nose turned crooked upon hearing this. "You're pretty arrogant, young man from Long Country. Do you think that with my sister protecting you, you can still be alive? Believe me, I can make you disappear in an instant!"
Mo Wenjie was also amused by the situation. He said, "Lisa, today I might have let you down. I didn't strike him because of your face, but he keeps provoking me. He really thinks I'm afraid to touch him."
Lisa hurriedly stopped Mo Wenjie. "Beloved Mo, I know today you've been wronged. Please take out all your resentment on me, okay? Please take it out on me, beloved Mo."
Mo Wenjie said helplessly, "Lisa, this is a one-time thing, no more exceptions!"
Lisa only knows that Mo Wenjie's medical skills are unparalleled in the world, but she doesn't know his martial arts cultivation, so she is still worried about him.
Jack, who had never been ignored in his life, couldn't help but feel angry. "Four Guardians, destroy this stinky brat!" he roared.
The four guardians approached Mo Wenjie. Lisa hurriedly stepped in front of him, "Whoever dares to move him, you're coming against me."
The four guardians stood there motionless. In their hearts, Lisa is much higher in status than Jack. Lisa is smart, capable, and mature. She always has a beginning and an end in everything she does. Moreover, she is beautiful and heart-stopping to look at. In contrast, Jack is a pure-blooded wastrel, enjoying life in a carefree manner and doing no good. What's even more interesting is that he considers himself a genius despite being a complete idiot.
Jack saw that the four guardians were not taking any action, and he grew impatient, roaring, "Don't you guys want to move? Are you planning to invite him for dinner?"
The four guardians took a few steps forward again.
Lisa quickly said, "If you touch him even a little bit, I'll fight you to the death. He's not just my savior, but also my man. If you guys want to fight, come on and do it. I'm willing to die for him!"
How could the four guardians not know that if they continue to make Lisa's life difficult, they will be punished by the family? Therefore, they stopped in their tracks again.
Upon hearing this, Jack's anger erupted: "Lisa, you slut, how precious your identity is, and you've degraded yourself for him. I can't wait to kill him right now."
Upon hearing this, Mo Wenjie was even more confused. "What's going on here? I don't know when we started a relationship with you. Was it in a dream? My innocence is ruined!"
Han Mo Xuan pounded Mo Wenjie with a series of fists, cursing as she hit him: "You scumbag, Mo Wenjie, which one of me is worse than her? You have plenty of meat to chew on but you go and eat takeout instead."
Mo Wenjie was caught off guard by Han Mo Xuan's sudden attack. He looked at Han Mo Ran and Han Mo Xuan and asked, "How did you two come here?"
Han Mo Ran said, "My grandfather saw that you haven't come home for a long time and worried that something might happen to you, so he sent us to look for you."
Han Mo Xuan said, "We wouldn't have known that your reach is so long if we hadn't come. You pretend to be a respectable gentleman in front of us, but who knew you were cheating on foreign countries."
Mo Wenjie said, "What is all this about? I and she are innocent, and she's only saying this to protect me."
Han Mo Xuan's dark face suddenly turned into a smiling one. "Are you really joking with us?"
Mo Wenjie said, "Why would I lie to you?"
Jack saw the intimate actions between Mo Wenjie and Han Mo Xuan, which was like adding fuel to the fire. He angrily said to the four guardians, "Kill him!"
Lisa stood in front of Mo Wenjie once again, fully prepared to sacrifice herself.
The four guardians were rather speechless. One wants to kill, and one is fiercely protecting; this put them in a dilemma.
Jack saw that the four guardians were still hesitating, and he had already lost his patience. He ordered the four guardians to kill Mo Wenjie, otherwise they would face disciplinary action from the family.
The four guardians, helplessly, said, "Miss Lina, please don't make things difficult for us. If we don't follow the command of Master Mo Wenjie, we will certainly be punished when we return. We hope Miss Lina can understand our dilemma and step aside. Otherwise, we will have to apologize to her."
Lisa stood there motionless, with an air of righteousness, saying, "If you want to kill him, you'll have to step over me."
