"Old man, what did you do to them?" Su Hang was furious.
"Don't worry, I just pressed their acupoints. They'll be fine in a while. You should be more concerned about yourself." The old man turned around and looked at Su Hang, who was lying on the ground, with a cold expression.
"What kind of master raises what kind of dog. I've seen it all today." Su Hang suppressed his anger, but these words were directed at Xue Qi.
The old man's face was as black as a thundercloud, but Xue Qi laughed wickedly, "At this moment, you're still so defiant. Not bad, you're a real man. But I wonder if your body is as tough as your mouth. Uncle Wu, help me hold him down. I want to use the Thousand Year Kill on him."
"Yes, Young Master!" The old man was delighted and immediately walked towards Su Hang, "Kid, you can't afford to offend my young master. Just accept your fate."
Xue Qi followed behind the old man, rubbing his hands together, looking eager. Su Hang, sitting on the ground, kept backing away, "If I can't afford to offend your young master, does that mean I'm easy to offend?"
"Stop struggling in vain." The old man took two steps forward and reached out with both hands towards Su Hang.
Given the old man's strength, once caught, there would be no escape. With Xue Qi's abilities, one Thousand Year Kill would leave him either dead or crippled.
However, just as the old man's withered hands were about to grab Su Hang, Su Hang reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object.
"What is that?"
Seeing Su Hang suddenly pull out something, the old man was taken aback and stopped his action. Upon closer inspection, it was a jade token with a sloppy 'Kao' (rely) written in seal script.
Is he trying to bribe me? Or is he cursing me? The old man was clearly confused by Su Hang's sudden move. After a moment, he came to his senses and reached out to knock the jade token out of Su Hang's hand.
"Smack!"
At that moment, Su Hang had already crushed the jade token in his hand. The jade token shattered into several pieces and scattered on the ground.
What the hell? Not just the old man, but Xue Qi was also stunned.
"Uncle Wu, what are you waiting for? Hold him down for me." Xue Qi shouted.
"Yes."
The old man came to his senses and reached out to grab Su Hang again. Su Hang was about to lose hope. Rely Token, where are you? I'm about to be killed with the Thousand Year Kill.
"Boom!"
Just then, the tightly closed hotel door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"Stop!"
A low shout echoed throughout the hotel lobby, a young woman's voice. At that moment, it sounded like music to Su Hang's ears. No sound in the world could be more beautiful.
The old man trembled and stopped his action. Xue Qi's smile froze, and he shrank his neck, like a rat hearing a cat.
"Is the backer here?"
Su Hang opened his eyes and looked towards the hotel entrance. In the sunlight, a white figure stood at the door, long hair cascading over her shoulders, wearing a suit and a short skirt, a standard professional woman's outfit that couldn't hide her fiery figure. She looked to be around twenty-four or twenty-five, with a beauty that resembled the Queen of Women in Journey to the West, a mix of beauty and strength. She was now staring at Xue Qi with a stern expression.
"What a beautiful girl, who is she?" Su Hang's throat moved, naturally assuming that this woman was the backer summoned by the Rely Token.
The system had said that in times of crisis, as long as the Rely Token was crushed, a backer would be summoned to support and stabilize the situation. Seeing Xue Qi's reaction, it seemed this woman had some authority.
The atmosphere in the hall became tense.
"Sis, why are you here?" After a long pause, Xue Qi finally spoke.
"Sis?"
Su Hang almost collapsed, feeling a thousand goats galloping in his heart. He thought he had summoned a backer, but it turned out they were family. What a joke, this Rely Token was just a scam.
As Xue Qi's words fell, the woman walked up to him in high heels, reached out, and grabbed his ear, spinning him 720 degrees without a word.
"Ah, it hurts, Sis, it hurts." Xue Qi quickly covered his ear and begged for mercy.
"Miss, stop, you're hurting the young master." The old man quickly stepped forward to protect his master.
The woman released Xue Qi's ear and turned to the old man, her face ashen, "Uncle Wu, Grandfather asked you to watch over him, not to let him run wild."
Her tone was completely scolding. Su Hang, sitting on the ground, was amazed. This woman was quite strong. The old man, who had been so domineering, was now being scolded by her without any resistance.
"Miss, you misunderstood. It was actually this kid..." The old man pointed at Su Hang, who was sitting on the ground, trying to argue.
"Shut up." The woman didn't listen and cut off the old man, "I know exactly what kind of person my brother is."
"Sis..." Xue Qi covered his ear, looking a bit aggrieved.
"I was only a few hours late, and you already ran to Rongcheng to cause trouble. If you don't want me to tell Mom and Dad, write a hundred self-examinations tonight and show them to me in the morning." The woman said coldly to Xue Qi.
"A hundred? Self-examinations?" Xue Qi exclaimed, his eyes almost popping out.
"Say one more word, and it's two hundred." The woman's tone was firm.
Xue Qi immediately cowered, glaring at Su Hang, who was sitting on the ground, clearly blaming him for all the trouble.
"Miss..." The old man hesitated.
It was better not to speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, the woman focused on him, "You were supposed to watch over Xiao Qi, but you let him run wild and even joined in. You're negligent. You'll be punished with a year's supply of medicinal pills."
The old man's face changed, and he immediately lowered his head, "Yes."
Amazing, this woman was truly amazing. With just a few words, she had reduced these two to lapdogs. Su Hang was now certain that this woman was the backer summoned by the Rely Token.
"Are you okay?"
Just as Su Hang was feeling smug, the woman's voice rang out. Su Hang looked up, and the woman was looking at him, her fair face less cold and more gentle.
Yes, it was gentleness. Her eyes were like those of an old friend she hadn't seen in years. She reached out her hand.
It was cool and soft. A girl's hand was indeed delicate. Unfortunately, Su Hang didn't get to hold it for long. After pulling him up, the woman subtly withdrew her hand.
The lingering fragrance made Su Hang secretly indulge, "You finally came. A few moments later, and I might have been crippled by them."
