CHAPTER 586: CHAPTER 586: THREAT

As a result, Nie Wei just stretched his neck and stared at He Ziyun without saying a word.

"Talking to some people is useless, you have to take action," Xu Ke raised his eyelids, glanced at Nie Wei, and said, then moved towards Nie Wei.

"No, what are you going to do, don’t come over, I’m telling you, don’t come near me." Seeing Xu Ke walking towards him, Nie Wei instinctively stepped back, retreating much faster than advancing, like a monkey who’s had its tail stepped on.

Among the people who came with Nie Wei, two were seeing Xu Ke for the first time. Plus, Xu Ke’s appearance was quite deceptive, so they didn’t even think before blocking Xu Ke’s way.

"What are you doing? Trying to stir up trouble?" one of the henchmen stood in front of Xu Ke and said.

"This is between us, it has nothing to do with you. Take your women and get out of here, otherwise, don’t blame me for not holding back," the henchman said as he extended his hand, looking like he really might hit someone—a blatant threat.

Coincidentally, Xu Ke has always hated threats involving people around him the most.

"Do you know, you just committed a big taboo with me," Xu Ke said, looking at the man in front of him without any smile.

Xu Ke was angry now, but the henchman didn’t care at all. "So what if I committed your big taboo? What can you do to me?" The man fearlessly stepped closer to Xu Ke, narrowing the distance between them.

"Since you want to know the outcome, I don’t mind showing you," Xu Ke said, suddenly punching and hitting the man right on the nose.

A wave of intense pain hit, and the man instinctively cried out. Watching this scene, Nie Wei involuntarily shivered on the other side. Not only did his nose feel pain, but also the hand he had fractured before started to hurt, dragging his other hand into pain as well.

Xu Ke’s attack was both unexpected and extremely swift, indeed intimidating many people.

"Don’t provoke me, you don’t want to know the consequences," Xu Ke said coldly.

The lesson of provoking Xu Ke was right in front of them—a man crouched down, holding his bleeding nose, howling in pain. This gesture by Xu Ke totally shocked them, leaving them afraid to speak up.

Nie Wei glanced at the crouched henchman, then at Xu Ke; it was as if the tendons in his legs were churning, freezing him in place and rendering him speechless.

This time, as Xu Ke walked towards Nie Wei, no one dared stand in his way.

Xu Ke was now just a step away from Nie Wei. As soon as he reached out, Nie Wei’s body shuddered. "What are you shaking for? I’m not going to hit you," Xu Ke chuckled lightly.

Nie Wei stood there stiffly, not saying a word, as he watched Xu Ke reach over and place a hand on his shoulder. Nie Wei’s corresponding side went stiff, with only his eyes being able to move.

"Why so stiff? Weren’t you just talking a lot?" Xu Ke said coolly, brushing the dust from Nie Wei’s clothes, accumulated during the fight.

Nie Wei had never been so afraid of someone before. Even when facing his dad, he would argue back, showing no respect. But in front of Xu Ke, he only dared to move his eyes, as if his bold speech earlier was just a dream.

"Don’t bother him anymore, or if I find out, be warned that I won’t be so kind to you," Xu Ke said with a smile.

"You’re still making threats? Do you know who you’re threatening? You’ll be scared to death when I tell you. He’s the sole heir to Nie Group, President Nie’s only son, practically the designated future president. Aren’t you afraid of Nie Group’s retaliation?" Another henchman shouted at Xu Ke.

When Nie Wei heard the henchman speak, his rigid body became more flexible.

Yeah, his dad is the president of Nie Group, a big deal in Yunzhou, and he’s the future successor. Why should he fear someone who’s basically not worth fearing?

No matter how good this person is at fighting, what’s he got? Standing behind him is Nie Group. Doesn’t he need to kneel before it, no matter how tough he is?

As for He Ziyun, he’s already been expelled from the He family, with no family background to compete with, and the He Group is nearing bankruptcy. The two of them are merely two sturdy loaches at best.

No matter how much they squirm, they can’t change the fact that they’re no match for him, ready to be cooked and eaten, with no room for resistance.

Nie Wei thought he had it all figured out. His aura changed, exuding more arrogance with the air of a noble.

"Did you hear me? If you heard clearly, get your filthy hand off me. Can you afford to dirty my clothes?" Nie Wei said as he slapped Xu Ke’s hand away.

"I am the sole heir of the Nie family. I do what I want, and you have no right to question it, understand? I let the last incident go, but today, you must apologize to my brother. Otherwise, this isn’t over, and I’ll fight you to the end," Nie Wei said fiercely.

"Xu Ke," He Ziyun, hearing what Nie Wei said, looked at Xu Ke with concern and called out.

Xu Ke took him as a friend; he couldn’t just watch Xu Ke set off on a path of no return.

Nie Wei didn’t seem like someone who would let things go easily.

"And if I don’t apologize, how will you fight me to the end?" Xu Ke was a bit curious about his methods.

Nie Wei was just used to talking tough. When you asked him to lay out his plan, he couldn’t quite articulate it.

Nie Wei was caught off guard by Xu Ke’s question, feeling like a needle had pricked his chest—both stifling and painful.

"You don’t really have a plan, do you?" Ariel widened her eyes in disbelief, as if hearing something absurd, waiting for Nie Wei’s response.

Nie Wei was embarrassed by Ariel’s words and stammered, unable to speak.

He Ziyun, who had been a bit worried, didn’t know whether to sympathize or laugh at Nie Wei’s predicament, his expression turning strange.

"Anyway, I won’t let you off easily, in ways you can’t even imagine," Nie Wei said, pushing Xu Ke with some embarrassed anger.

He spoke impatiently, but you could clearly sense his guilt.

"Don’t try changing the subject here, apologize to my brother and I’ll let it go. Otherwise, you won’t have a good time in Yunzhou," Nie Wei shouted loudly.

"Honestly, I haven’t heard something like that in a long time. I must say, you’re quite brave," Xu Ke said with a smile.

"However, you can’t intimidate me. And as for apologies, shouldn’t it be you guys apologizing to He Ziyun? Apologize, and I’ll let you leave unharmed, or he’ll be your fate," Xu Ke said slowly, pointing at the first henchman.
