"Damn it!"


    By Miao Renfeng''s side, Qiu Chao of the Qiu Family gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, "This bastard, my Qiu family will sooner or later make him pay with his life!"


    Because the person who caused trouble for the Qi Family in Guangcheng yesterday, Qiu Yuanji, was Qiu Chao''s brother and also the uncle of the Qiu Family Patriarch, Qiu Kuan!


    The Qiu Family''s attempt to control Tiankui Base through the Qi Family had failed; instead, after Qiu Yuanji and others entered the Qi Family Courtyard, they had mysteriously disappeared without a trace.


    Although there was no direct evidence that Ye Fan killed them, now that Ye Fan had taken control of Tiankui Base, it certainly spelled trouble.


    Qiu Yuanji must have fallen to Ye Fan, and this debt would surely be counted on Ye Fan''s head!


    Because of this agreement, the hundreds of families that had arrived at the scene were feeling unsettled.


    Some of the more perceptive families seemed to have realized that Ye Fan might have prepared a huge pitfall, waiting for them to leap into it!


    "Forget it, I''d better not get involved!"


    "I give up too, our family only ordered five Rune War Soldiers; it''s not worth it to offend Ye Fan over five weapons!"


    "Exactly! Exactly!"


    Amidst the whispering crowd, a third of the representatives started to waver, quietly separating from the crowd to stand on the other side.


    "What are you doing? Just a single agreement from Ye Fan has scared you? It''s only a five-fold security deposit, isn''t it? Hmph! When we expose Ye Fan''s true face later, when he can''t produce so many Rune War Soldiers, he''ll have to compensate us ten-fold in damages. What are you afraid of? Get back here!"@@@@


    Miao Renfeng scolded those departing family representatives, sounding frantic and exasperated!


    Before coming, everyone had agreed to stick together, to advance and retreat as one. Now, at the slightest sign of trouble, they ran faster than rabbits.


    "Patriarch Miao, you talk as if it''s easy! A five-fold security deposit, for one warrior that''s fifty billion, for ten that''s five hundred billion... We can sign the wager together, but why don''t you, Patriarch Miao, cover the deposits for us first?"


    "Exactly! If Patriarch Miao is so confident, cover our deposits, and then we''ll have no concerns!"


    These crafty family representatives hit the nail on the head with just one comment, instantly outmaneuvering Miao Renfeng!


    Let Miao Renfeng cover the deposits for these families?


    What a joke?


    This Ye Fan, who stole this Miss''s heart, what should I do with myself now?


    News had already come from the Capital, urging Ji Ningxuan to return immediately to report on the situation in Guangcheng, while also starting to prepare for the big wedding next month.


    Time flew by, and now there were only three weeks left, it was indeed time to start preparing!


    All contracts had been signed!


    Ye Fan was satisfied as he looked at the stack of agreement documents Wang Fugui brought over, and checked the account balance presented by Qi Jiao.


    The deposits had reached two trillion, which was equivalent to the wealth of a Hengtai!


    It had to be said, these Ancient Martial Families and the secular world''s Supreme Families, they really were rich!


    But at this level of a family, money was actually not the most important thing. What was most crucial were resources like Elixir Pills, Martial Techniques, and Weapons, which is why they were willing to spend such a huge price on Rune War Soldiers.


    "All right! Ye Fan, our bet has been signed and sealed... It''s now time for the moment of truth, right? Our Rune War Soldiers... we want to see the Rune War Soldiers that you promised..."


    Miao Renfeng seemed to feel as if he had accomplished something very significant, taking a long breath of relief.


    "Hehe! Young Master Ye, surely you won''t say it''s time to see a miracle now, right?" Miao Renfeng''s lips twitched as he continued to mock, "There are not that many miracles in this world! Ye Fan, do you think you are Zhuge Liang? Trying to stage an Empty Fort Strategy to bewilder us? Let me tell you, you are still too green!"


    "Ye Fan, you''re bound to lose today! Tiankui Base will belong to our Ancient Martial Mini Alliance, don''t think just because you have the protection of the Nangong Family, you can be safe and sound? Hmph! Sooner or later, we will take care of the Nangong Family as well... Concede now! I told you, our actions today are all business, I won''t take your life, just hand over the control of Tiankui Base and return the breach of contract fee you promised us, and that will be enough!"


    Seeing no expression on Ye Fan''s face, especially noticing Qi Yuan''s deathly expression, the family representatives who had signed the contract with Miao Renfeng finally started to smile.


    "Damn it! Was this just a false alarm? This guy Ye Fan really had me fooled, scared me to death!"


    "After making a few hundred billion this time, we must go have a good foot wash tonight—I''ll treat you!"


    "Great! There''s a Heaven on Earth in Guangcheng that''s not bad!"


    Just as Miao Renfeng and his group began to celebrate, Ye Fan spoke up, "You''re right! Next... it''s time to witness a miracle. Your Rune War Soldiers... have already arrived..."


    As Ye Fan spoke, he pointed inside the base gate!


    There, led by Songyang, a group of the Song Family bodyguards were cheerfully pushing more than a dozen carts toward the gate!


    And on those carts, stacks and stacks of Rune War Soldiers were piled up, their ancient aura detectable even from afar...
