I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

With a playful, cat-and-mouse expression, Wang Tianlong walked step by step toward the incongruous figure in the corner of the banquet hall.

The surrounding guests automatically made way for him, their eyes following him curiously, wanting to see how this young master of the Wang family would deal with this intruding "beggar".

"Friend, are you alone?"

Wang Tianlong stood in front of Ye An and handed him one of the glasses of champagne, his manner very friendly.

Ye An didn't answer, and didn't even glance at him.

Wang Tianlong wasn't annoyed and simply placed his wine glass on the table next to him.

He looked Ye An up and down, a playful smile playing on his lips, and clicked his tongue in amusement.

"Hey bro, where did you find that outfit... at which flea market?"

"This fabric, this cut, anyone who didn't know better would think you'd just escaped from a movie set as an extra. Aren't you ashamed to dress like this for a banquet of this caliber?"

A cacophony of loud laughter suddenly erupted from all around.

Seeing this, Wang Tianlong's contempt deepened. He took a step forward and raised his voice several decibels:

"However, you're dressed like a ragpicker, but you've got quite the ambition. I advise you to stop bothering Ruoxue. What, do you really think you can get away with this? The worst thing for a person is not recognizing their own place. There are some circles you can never squeeze into in your entire life."

The onlookers around him showed mocking expressions and pointed at Ye An.

Then, Wang Tianlong leaned forward and whispered, "But it's no wonder. You're a bastard who was born without a father and raised without a mother. No one has ever taught you what manners are."

"To be able to wear this outfit and stand here, you've probably spent all your savings, right? We really can't expect too much from you, can we?"

Ye An paused for a moment.

Not far away, Qin Ruoxue's expression changed instantly.

orphan?

How could Wang Tianlong know?

She subconsciously looked at her parents, only to see Qin Xuecheng talking quietly with Lin Hui, his face showing a smug look of success.

An indescribable feeling of nausea welled up in Qin Ruoxue's heart.

She just wanted Ye An to face reality and back down when things got tough.

But she never expected that her parents would use this method to publicly humiliate her by using her background as a weapon.

That's despicable.

"Xuecheng, you let Tianlong provoke him like this. What if he starts a fight?" Lin Hui asked worriedly. "The bodyguards here are all outside, far away."

"Make a move?" Qin Xuecheng seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, his tone full of smugness. "Don't worry. Tianlong isn't some good-for-nothing wastrel who only knows how to spend money."

He gestured for his wife to look at Wang Tianlong's hands.

"Look at his palms, aren't they broader and thicker than average, and a darker color?"

Lin Hui was puzzled.

"He joined the ancient martial arts circle a long time ago and is now a master of external strength," Qin Xuecheng explained.

"Ancient martial arts? External strength?" Lin Hui didn't understand.

"Just know this: that's a circle that ordinary people like us can never even get close to in our entire lives. Only behemoths like the Wang family have the connections. Don't even mention ten or eight bodyguards; even if you brought twice as many, they still wouldn't be able to get close to Tianlong."

Hearing this, Lin Hui was completely relieved, and her gaze towards Ye An was now filled with pity and schadenfreude.

"Heh, you're really asking for it."

In the corner, Ye An finally reacted.

He slowly raised his head, looking at the face in front of him filled with malice, a cold glint flashing in his dark eyes.

He no longer held back, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a powerful palm strike that swept out with a gust of wind!

"Ye An, stop!"

Qin Ruoxue, who was standing to the side, turned pale and, fearing that Ye An would be taken advantage of, hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

However, Wang Tianlong merely sneered disdainfully, a cruel smile curving his lips: "So you really can't resist attacking me now? Overestimating yourself!"

He immediately raised his hand to block, even preparing to break the kid's arm in the process.

He had even already figured out how to humiliate this country bumpkin so that he would kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

However, none of his expectations came true.

boom!

A loud bang!

Under everyone's horrified gaze, Ye An's seemingly casual slap landed squarely on Wang Tianlong's face.

Wang Tianlong was sent flying sideways as if hit by a speeding truck, crashing into a solid wood table several meters away.

"Splash—"

The heavy table shattered with a crash, scattering broken wine glasses and plates all over the floor in a chaotic mess.

The surrounding guests gasped in surprise and retreated.

"How...how is this possible?!"

Qin Xuecheng's smile froze instantly, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Lin Hui covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.

Qin Ruoxue was completely stunned.

Didn't Father say that Wang Tianlong was a master of ancient martial arts?

How... how did I get slapped away like that?

Could it be that he just became an apprentice and his skills are not yet proficient?

"Are you kidding me?!"

Amidst the ruins, Wang Tianlong struggled to his feet, half of his face swollen and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

His pride and dignity as an external martial artist were shattered at this moment!

"Guards! Kill him!" he roared, seemingly insane.

A dozen or so hotel bodyguards in black suits finally reacted and rushed in from all directions outside the banquet hall, wielding riot batons, and surrounded Ye An.

However, Ye An made a move.

He took a step forward.

He moved so fast he was like a blur, and before anyone could react, he had already passed through the bodyguards' encirclement and appeared directly in front of Wang Tianlong.

Under Wang Tianlong's terrified gaze, a hand, swift as lightning, grabbed his neck.

"you……"

Wang Tianlong trembled violently, his mind going completely blank.

He is a martial artist specializing in external strength! He can feel the surging power within his body!

But at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to move a finger, let alone resist!

The other person's hand was like an iron clamp, tightly locking his throat and all his life force.

"Get your people out of the hotel."

Ye An's voice was so flat that it revealed no emotion whatsoever.

"Otherwise, you die."

The shadow of death loomed over him, but Wang Tianlong's inherent arrogance prevented him from bowing his head.

This is the Jinhao Hotel! It's the Qin family's banquet!

He refused to believe that this poor kid would actually dare to kill him in front of everyone!

He's a member of the Wang family!

"Heh, if you've got the guts, then come on." Wang Tianlong spat out a few words through gritted teeth, his face full of crazed provocation.

Are you sure?

Ye An's voice turned cold.

This person has crossed his bottom line.

His murderous aura was no longer concealed, surging out like a tidal wave.

Wang Tianlong instantly felt a bone-chilling cold rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, as if all the blood in his body had frozen at that moment.
