Anyone who can appear on the stage of history has a reason, and Fang Zaitian is no exception. Being able to take the position of overlord in Xiangjiang is naturally extraordinary.

Fang Zaitian's warriors were all brothers who fought alongside him from being unknown little thugs.

Even though they knew it was death, no one flinched.

This had nothing to do with loyalty, just the camaraderie between brothers.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, these warriors were merely Fang Zaitian's subordinates, but they didn't see it that way; in their eyes, Fang Zaitian was their brother.

Perhaps Fang Zaitian was insidious, cunning, and unscrupulous, but to his brothers, Fang Zaitian was righteous beyond the clouds.

Without their support, Fang Zaitian couldn't have taken the position of overlord of Xiangjiang.

Without Fang Zaitian as the Xiangjiang overlord, these people might still be eking out a living in the slums.

For brothers.

They,

were willing to die.

Watching them fall one by one, Fang Zaitian's eyes reddened.

Although they were Fang Zaitian's best brothers, they weren't Ye Tianfan's brothers. On the contrary, the deeper their feelings for Fang Zaitian, the stronger their hatred for Ye Tianfan.

Ye Tianfan didn't have mercy, nor would he.

Because Ye Tianfan knew that if he showed mercy to them, they would not show mercy to him.

The slaughter continued.

Perhaps the scenario at this moment was no longer a slaughter, but more like a unilateral massacre.

The willow-leaf knife seemed almost alive, racing and reaping.

No one could come within ten steps of Ye Tianfan. In just five or six minutes, more than twenty bodies lay scattered across the plaza of West City Park.

The battle was silent, except for the sound of bodies hitting the ground, and the whistling of the spinning willow-leaf knife.

"Enough! Brothers, enough! It's my failure, Fang Zaitian's incompetence, don't make unnecessary sacrifices anymore!"

Fang Zaitian was defeated, utterly defeated, kneeling on the ground, tears spilling over, regretting his past choices.

Perhaps he should never have come to the mainland or opposed Ye Tianfan.

"Dad!"

Hearing Fang Zaitian's desperate voice, Su Yueyi struggled to escape from Ye Tianfan's arms.

But Ye Tianfan would not let her have her way.

His left hand continued to cover Su Yueyi's eyes, not relaxing in the slightest.

Ye Tianfan didn't want Su Yueyi to see the corpses littering the ground at West City Park.

"Yue Yi, don't be afraid, Daddy is here." Fang Zaitian shouted urgently.

At this moment, Fang Zaitian appeared entirely like a loving father, as if Ye Tianfan was the villain, everything seemed reversed.

Su Yueyi had never seen the insidious and ruthless side of Fang Zaitian, and perhaps she never would in her lifetime.

But Ye Tianfan had!

Ye Tianfan could never forget how ruthless Fang Zaitian was when he killed Chen Changsheng.

Ye Tianfan also couldn't forget the grim face of Fang Zaitian when he framed him into prison.

How many people died when Long Yuqing's seventy-two warehouses caught fire? Ye Tianfan never counted.

Ye Tianfan wasn't clear about how many things Fang Zaitian did in collusion with the Yama Hall behind the scenes either.

But one thing wouldn't change,

Fang Zaitian's appearance as a perfect father could not erase all his sins.

The debts owed must eventually be repaid.

Even though Fang Zaitian now regretted it, everything was too late.

Natural calamities can be outlived, but self-inflicted sins cannot.

"Ye Tianfan, I will hate you for a lifetime." Su Yueyi's tears had already soaked Ye Tianfan's palm. Her sobbing voice never ceased; at this moment, her trembling body, and every word pierced like knives into Ye Tianfan's heart.

The seed of hatred sprouted, it would grow and flourish.

An innocent woman would eventually become insidious and venomous.

Although Su Yueyi was Fang Zaitian's daughter, Ye Tianfan hoped that she wouldn't follow in Fang Zaitian's footsteps.

"I will hate you for a lifetime!" Su Yueyi's body trembled, she no longer tried to escape Ye Tianfan's hand covering her eyes, only repeated this phrase continuously.

Ye Tianfan's heart softened.

He looked back coldly at Fang Zaitian and said in a deep voice, "Clean up the scene, you wouldn't want your daughter to see this, would you?"

This statement shocked Fang Zaitian.

Ye Tianfan wasn't trying to harm his daughter?

He was protecting Su Yueyi?

Protecting Su Yueyi's pure heart from the dark side of this world!

Fang Zaitian hurriedly gestured, and in just a few minutes, West City Park was restored to its original state, the bodies were carried away, and there was no blood on the ground.

Ye Tianfan released his hand covering Su Yueyi's eyes.

The next second, Su Yueyi ran quickly to Fang Zaitian, and Fang Zaitian instinctively embraced Su Yueyi.

In the end, Su Yueyi still didn't understand the true nature of Fang Zaitian, nor did she see his insidious and cruel side; she only knew that the man before her was her father.

This man's presence gave her support, no longer letting her drift aimlessly like duckweed.

At this moment, Su Yueyi had already made a choice.

She chose Fang Zaitian.

The moment Su Yueyi ran from Ye Tianfan's arms to Fang Zaitian, the outcome was already clear.

This time, the man she was defending was her father, Fang Zaitian.

After all, blood is thicker than water.

Ye Tianfan gritted his teeth, his fists clenched until they creaked. He had a myriad of ways to kill Fang Zaitian on the spot, but he was defeated by Su Yueyi's innocent yet determined eyes.

She stood in front of Fang Zaitian,

ready to face death if need be.

Ye Tianfan sighed helplessly.

So be it.

For Su Yueyi's sake.

Forget it.

"Go! I'll give you three days to disband the Imperial Group, take your people, and get back to Xiangjiang. Never return to the mainland for the rest of your life!"

Ye Tianfan spoke clearly, and Fang Zaitian listened seriously, but the current Fang Zaitian had lost his former charisma. No matter how ambitious he was, tonight, it ended here.

"Before I change my mind, get out!"

Ye Tianfan shouted angrily, not looking back again.

He didn't want to see Fang Zaitian, afraid he couldn't resist killing him.

Nor did he want to see Su Yueyi, to avoid facing her helpless and bewildered gaze.

Fang Zaitian said nothing more, merely took Su Yueyi's hand, ready to leave.

Su Yueyi's face was full of tears, unwilling and confused, not understanding why things had come to this state, why she must choose between two men.

One was the person she loved, the other was a person who loved her.

"Ye Tianfan, can I come back to see you?" Su Yueyi finally asked.

These words made Ye Tianfan tremble slightly, a hint of bitterness flashing across his heart.

Although Ye Tianfan gave Fang Zaitian three days to leave Jiangzhou, never to return to the mainland, Ye Tianfan never included Su Yueyi in this calculation.

In Ye Tianfan's heart, although Su Yueyi was Fang Zaitian's daughter, she was ultimately different from Fang Zaitian. It was like what he always said: the mistakes Fang Zaitian made shouldn't be borne by an innocent woman like Su Yueyi.

But Su Yueyi's earlier words clearly showed her stance.

She had already aligned herself with Fang Zaitian.

Her heart was already set on returning to Xiangjiang with him.
