That night.

In a private room at the Eight Immortals Restaurant in Yangzhou City.

Zhang Fengyuan was hosting a grand banquet for everyone tonight. His acquaintances, stewards, and subordinates filled a table. The private room buzzed with clinking glasses and lively conversation, a truly festive scene.

"Hahaha, Hall Master Zhang, come, come, I'll toast you."

"Steward Duan, you're too kind. Today's matter wouldn't have been resolved without your help."

"Ah, ah, ah, Hall Master Zhang, you flatter me. It's my honor to work for you."

Zhang Fengyuan smiled reservedly. "Did that Li fellow say anything today?"

After downing a cup of wine, Duan Sanping said with a flushed face, "What could he say? Hearing Hall Master Zhang's name, he didn't dare utter a peep. He left with a dark expression and slunk away."

"Hahahaha..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhang Fengyuan felt immense satisfaction. "That Li Xian truly doesn't know what's good for him. It's his honor to be chosen by me and serve under me, yet he refused. Hmph, let's see how he begs me after today!"

Duan Sanping, Lu Wu'an, and a group of subordinates chimed in.

"Exactly, this kid is just ignorant of the world. He really thinks he can get by in the Canoe Gang just because he has some talent. Today, we'll show him what he's really worth."

"Right, he killed Bai Shaofei and thinks he's capable and skilled. A few compliments and he's gotten too big for his boots, doesn't put anyone else in his eyes. Someone needs to teach him a lesson!"

"Hall Master Zhang is just teaching him a lesson, letting him know the world is complicated and not something a young brat like him can handle."

"So Hall Master Zhang's intentions were good after all."

"Hall Master Zhang is righteous, we must toast him!"

"Indeed, we must toast him!"

"Come, everyone, toast Hall Master Zhang!"

During the feast, the conversation revolved around mocking Li Xian and flattering Zhang Fengyuan.

The banquet at the Eight Immortals Restaurant didn't end until deep into the night.

Zhang Fengyuan, feeling the night wasn't over yet, dragged everyone to a pleasure boat to continue the festivities.

"Let's go! I'm in a good mood tonight, my treat!"

Naturally, no one refused.

So, the group hired a carriage and set off.

It was late at night, and the streets were deserted. The rhythmic clatter of hooves only amplified the emptiness.

Inside the carriage, everyone was still laughing and chatting merrily.

Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt.

"What's going on? Why did we stop?"

As his loyal henchman, Lu Wu'an was the first to peek outside.

The coachman by the carriage had vanished.

Across the way, a figure stood on the deserted street, giving Lu Wu'an a meaningful smile.

Seeing that familiar face, Lu Wu'an shivered, sobering up considerably.

"It's you... Li..."

Before he could finish speaking, the figure had already appeared before him like lightning. An open palm shot out, pressing down on Lu Wu'an's head and slamming him into the carriage.

Lu Wu'an's head split open, blood flowing. Half his skull caved in; he was clearly not going to survive.

The carriage was also smashed to pieces.

"Who is it!"

"How dare you!"

Two figures burst out of the shattered carriage – Zhang Fengyuan and Duan Sanping.

Upon seeing the face of the newcomer, Zhang Fengyuan immediately roared.

"Li Xian, you have some nerve."

The person was, of course, Li Xian.

In his past life, when playing games, if an enemy support stole his jungle monsters, he would chase them all the way to their second tower. How could he let this slide now, after having hundreds of merits stolen?

This matter absolutely could not be let go.

Li Xian didn't reply. He merely cracked his lips, revealing a ferocious and cruel smile.

Tonight, he was going on a killing spree!

In the next moment, with just a single exchange, several of Zhang Fengyuan's trusted men lost their lives.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, a chill ran through Zhang Fengyuan and Duan Sanping.

"Li Xian, you dare to kill me? Aren't you afraid of being hunted by the Canoe Gang?"

"That's right, Hall Master Li's father is the Deputy Gang Leader. If he finds out you did this, you'll have nowhere to be buried!"

The two of them shouted menacingly, but they didn't realize their voices were already trembling.

"A mere Deputy Gang Leader, what can he do to me?" Li Xian said with a snort, tilting his head up.

Zhang Fengyuan was at a loss now. The Deputy Gang Leader father was his greatest reliance, but the other party simply didn't care.

He had thought the other party was just a lamb he could toy with at will, but unexpectedly, he was a ferocious tiger that would devour people.

He couldn't win in a fight, and he couldn't scare him, so he could only run.

Zhang Fengyuan and Duan Sanping fled into the distance with panicked expressions.

They hadn't run a few steps before Li Xian caught up and casually threw a punch at Duan Sanping.

Duan Sanping spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his internal organs shattered.

Duan Sanping, dead!

After running a few more steps, Li Xian caught up to Zhang Fengyuan, grabbed his head, and pressed it fiercely onto the cold, hard bluestone street.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, Li Xian, I'll give you anything you want!"

Zhang Fengyuan struggled, weeping and begging for mercy, completely devoid of the spirited demeanor he had in the Eight Immortals Restaurant earlier.

"What I want, you cannot give!"

"No, no, no, I can, I can! Tell me what you want, I'll give it all to you. What Hall Master, what the youngest Hall Master of the Canoe Gang, I don't want any of it, I'll give it all to you!"

Li Xian chuckled, speechless.

He leaned down and whispered in Zhang Fengyuan's ear.

"Tonight, you must die."

"Only when you die will others know that anyone who dares to snatch my head will only have death as their end!"

With that, he pressed down hard!

"No!"

With a crisp sound, Zhang Fengyuan's head exploded like a shattered watermelon on the street.

Zhang Fengyuan, dead!

Li Xian stood up and let out a long sigh.

He felt a sense of exhilaration and clarity.

This was true power, true authority.

Only those with absolute power had the right to decide whether others lived or died.

"Hahahaha..."

Li Xian let out a hearty laugh, his figure flashed, and he disappeared down the deserted street.
