Louis III guessed correctly. As the wedding came to a close and the banquet was almost over, Ye Xunhuan suddenly had Qin Pojun, Qin Rumeng, and others retreat.
However, no one noticed this. Each person seemed completely absorbed in the joy of the occasion.
But were they really immersed in this joy?
The answer is affirmative!
No!
Because someone had already noticed Ye Xunhuan’s subtle arrangements and the changes around, but no one spoke up. Instead, they pretended ignorance, acting as if they knew nothing.
After all, this was Ye Xunhuan’s territory. Whatever Ye Xunhuan wanted to do, who could stop him? And here, who could challenge Ye Xunhuan?
After Ye Xunhuan’s relatives and Qiu Ruoxi’s family almost all retreated, Ye Xunhuan suddenly leapt up like a swift swallow, landing swiftly on the stage.
Seeing this, Olivia immediately became spirited, knowing that Ye Xunhuan was about to confront the King!
It wasn’t just Olivia who was stirred; even the Demon King felt the same.
Previously, Olivia had found the Demon King and told him about Ye Xunhuan’s plan. Now, Ye Xunhuan’s move was clearly a signal for action.
"Everyone, I am very grateful that you have taken the time out of your busy schedules to attend my wedding!" Ye Xunhuan did not immediately show a murderous look but instead spoke warmly with a smile: "Here, you can eat, drink, and be merry as you please—all on me!"
"And you can stay as long as you like. Whenever you wish to leave, just let me know, and I’ll arrange for someone to escort you out."
"But before that, there are some things I need to settle first."
Because Ye Xunhuan suddenly took the stage and spoke, almost everyone paused their eating and drinking, quietly watching Ye Xunhuan.
"At this wedding, most of the invited guests are those I have had dealings with and with whom I have fairly good relations. But what makes me very angry is that some uninvited people have come, hurt my friends, and infiltrated in their place!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan’s tone and expression abruptly changed.
The smile disappeared from his face, replaced by a sharp look, and his voice turned cold.
"If you want to come, you can let me know, and I would gladly invite you. But by hurting my friends and sneaking in, you are challenging me, regardless of your intentions; you are provoking me!" Ye Xunhuan said heavily: "Anyone who dares to challenge my authority must die!"
Ye Xunhuan’s eyes immediately emitted a sharp gleam: "But considering it’s my wedding, and since you haven’t caused trouble nor taken my friends’ lives, I won’t be hard on you, but today, someone must die!"
"I want to use his blood to add a festive spirit to my wedding!"
Ye Xunhuan’s keen gaze swept over everyone present.
Everyone’s hearts suddenly sank. Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s sharp eyes, each person bowed their heads and began to secretly guess who Ye Xunhuan intended to kill.
"King, do you want me to pull you out from the crowd?" Ye Xunhuan roared!
The King!
Upon hearing these words, everyone’s expressions changed remarkably.
The King, the Protector of Hua Xia, he actually came!
Wasn’t it said that the King and Ye Xunhuan were almost at a death-or-life standoff, yet he dared come here? He really isn’t afraid of death!
In the crowd, the disguised King sighed slightly upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, immediately tore off his Human Skin Mask, and stepped forward.
"Ye Xunhuan, I’ve come out. What can you do to me?"
Although now surrounded and in dire straits, the King showed no fear or anxiety, and his arrogance did not diminish in the slightest.
It’s not that the King wanted to be so arrogant, but he knew that even showing weakness would be useless. Instead, he preferred to display the side of being a strong one.
Of course, the King could have avoided coming to the wedding, but he knew that even if he didn’t come, there would be no place to hide on this small island, Ye Xunhuan would find him sooner or later.
Furthermore, coming here might actually provide a slim chance of survival since some people want Ye Xunhuan dead.
So he came, fearlessly, and now he’s exhibiting his regal side.
"King, I thought you would behave like a mouse, but I didn’t expect you to have some pride!" Ye Xunhuan spoke powerfully: "Since you have some pride, I will give you a decent way to die!"
"Now, get up here and accept my punishment!"
As he spoke, a sharp, murderous intent suddenly surged from Ye Xunhuan’s body.
For a moment, Ye Xunhuan was like a sword drawn from its sheath, extremely sharp.
The King snorted coldly: "Punish me? Ye Xunhuan, you’re not capable of that!"
With those words, the King lightly tapped the ground and leapt directly onto the stage, confronting Ye Xunhuan. At the same time, a terrifying aura slowly emanated from the King’s body!
Seeing the King ascend the stage, Louis III murmured to himself: "Fight, hopefully into a deadly draw!"
It wasn’t just Louis III who hoped so; Shadow also did, and Shadow was even prepared to ambush Ye Xunhuan at the crucial moment.
But there was one exception, and that was the big boss behind Shadow. When Ye Xunhuan mentioned the King, he frowned.
Then, this big boss spoke to the black man beside him: "Old Black, keep an eye on this; don’t let anything unexpected happen, especially protect the lady. If she loses even a hair, you won’t be returning with me!"
Old Black couldn’t help but shiver and immediately said, "Don’t worry, boss, even if I die, I won’t allow anyone to harm the lady at all!"
The big boss nodded in satisfaction and even picked up the wine in front of him to drink casually, looking full of leisure.
Old Black observed and said again: "Boss, about Marshal, we..."
"It’s his territory; he won’t die!" The big boss said faintly: "And haven’t you seen Blood Phoenix and the Demon King, who seem like beasts ready to be unleashed at any moment?"
"Look at Victoria and the people around her!"
After hearing the big boss’s words, Old Black immediately looked.
Seeing the people around Victoria, Old Black’s heart suddenly trembled.
"These... these people..."
"I’m also curious; they actually survived and seem ready to fight for Ye Xunhuan again!" The big boss said faintly, "But if there’s a chance, take out Louis!"
"What about the lady..."
"You protect; I’ll take out Louis!"
