Tao Yu’s voice caused chaos in the entire hall.


    And at this time in the chaotic hall, other people were also angered.


    "Who is so presumptuous!"


    "This is too much!"


    "Arrogant!"


    "..."


    Amidst these disorderly voices, the Jin brothers leaped out.


    "Mr. Tao, even if there was a misunderstanding with your younger brother, we have already visited to apologize. If you still have issues, we can talk, but to humiliate us on our joyous occasion is crossing the line!"


    "Hmph, what’s more, the Chaoyang Society colludes with Heretic God Followers. You should clear your brother’s name from this investigation soon – do you want to stand with the Chaoyang Society?"


    The two of them spoke as if they had already settled the matter.


    It seemed as if Tao Yu, by simply stepping forward, was taking the side of the Chaoyang Society. And soon, he would be facing not just the Jin family, but a conflict of stances.


    Now, there were significant figures from the Longxi Clan present, and many other clan representatives were here too!


    If things truly escalated, it could even be exploited for publicity – don’t be ungrateful!


    At this moment, a representative from the Longxi Clan stood out to smooth things over.


    "It’s a misunderstanding. Just clear it up, no need to make it hard for everyone to save face. Both sides should just cool down."


    "Exactly, it’s not such a big deal."


    "..."


    Meanwhile, Tao Yu looked at Jin Cheng and Jin Ken, along with those who were chiming in, and let out a scornful laugh,


    "Then you should just assume I’m on the side of the Chaoyang Society. A bunch of chickens and dogs also join in the barking."


    Tao Yu’s words caused the faces of those who had spoken to change, and the faces of those with some status in the hall became ugly too. His words lumped them all together in the insult.


    Just as they were preparing to verbally attack,


    suddenly, an inexplicable pressure appeared in the hearts of everyone in the banquet hall, as if a heavy stone weighed on their shoulders, making Tao Yu seem much taller!


    Those who knew what was happening, like Ao Xing and Qian Hao, their faces changed drastically at the same time.


    Domain?!


    How could he have accumulated enough so quickly?!


    Ao Xing, who reacted the fastest, saw a flash of light in his eyes. Inner Strength? Could this thing really integrate ahead of time into a Domain?!


    Without paying attention to their reactions, Tao Yu, under the active release of Unity of Heaven and Man’s aura, silenced the noisy crowd and then slowly began to speak,


    "My brother was beaten – that was due to his inferior skills; he deserved to be beaten, but..."


    "The same goes for you!"


    The street under Tao Yu’s feet cracked in an instant.


    Boom~@@@@


    Broken stones exploded, and dust and cement chunks flew.


    His whole person, like an arrow released from its bowstring, instantly closed the gap, with just the airflow flipping tables along the way, causing chaos.


    Jin Cheng and Jin Ken, who were facing him, had simultaneous changes in expression.


    But before they could react, a Dragon’s Chant that seemed to emerge from the depths of their souls paralyzed their bodies.


    The shock resonated for miles!


    Ao~


    Instantly, the two were flung away like rag dolls, smashing through a succession of tables, scattering splinters and soup, before crashing heavily into the elevator shaft.


    Clang~


    The elevator shaft collapsed, burying the two within, as the shockwaves from the aftermath reverberated through the middle of the hall, shattering all remaining glass outwards.


    Many of the weaker individuals were blown away, leaving the scene in complete disarray.


    This is impossible!


    "However you wish to arrange things, I’ll be responsible for overseeing it,"


    Fox Star’s voice was as soft as possible, even carrying a slight sob.


    He truly might die...


    Tao Yu let go, patting the other’s face condescendingly


    "I’m a person who likes to reason with others and I’m not a demon who exterminates to the last. Just hang everyone involved in this hall to dry, that should suffice,"


    Upon saying this, Tao Yu gave the other a profound glance and sighed softly


    "I will soon be ordered to go to the State Capital, and I hope there won’t be any unpleasant incidents."


    Hearing Tao Yu’s words, a greater terror shone in Fox Star’s eyes. He was leaving Starshine temporarily?


    Is he trying to establish dominance?!


    "Leave it all to me, I’ll handle it properly."


    The Fox family had businesses in the Development Zone too; he had to accept the other’s threats, and he understood what they meant.


    Just then, a familiar shouting came from outside


    "Brother Tao, don’t panic; we’re here."


    With a single glance, Tao Yu saw Panda approaching with about a dozen people.


    Those dozen or so people weren’t all shareholders of Panda; several among them possessed considerable strength under Tao Yu’s Unity of Heaven and Man sense, senior partners perhaps?


    They must be the shareholders’ parents.


    Perhaps his father was worried about him and had secretly contacted Panda.


    Just as Tao Yu had initially thought, if he wanted to amass people quickly to pull out a batch of high-ranking partners for support, it wouldn’t be much of a problem.


    But such a waste wasn’t necessary; dealing with it directly would be more efficient.


    And as Panda rushed in with his group into the chaotic scene, they too seemed somewhat lost upon seeing the situation before them.


    Looking at the mess all around, the tables and chairs overturned by the aftershocks of the attacks, the soup and vegetables on the floor, the banners that had fallen, and the guests who had already hidden far away.


    At the center of the hall, there was only Tao Yu and Fox Star, leaving them feeling somewhat puzzled.


    What’s going on?


    "Thank you all for coming, but the issue has been resolved. I invite everyone to have a meal at ’Pavilion of Eats,’ don’t decline,"


    Tao Yu smiled, showing no signs that he had turned the place into this mess.


    Then Tao Yu seemed to remember something, and nonchalantly turned back to Fox Star to say


    "Oh yes, Second Young Master, who did you say was a dog just now?"


    "Me!"


    "Let me hear you bark."


    "Woof~"


    He was indeed flexible in his ways...


    Watching Tao Yu walk their way, with Fox Star’s dog impressions serving as background noise, everyone’s expressions turned blank and shocked.


    It seemed we had arrived quite fast, practically running over here as soon as we got the notice from Tao Yu’s father.


    And we were just called to see this?


    What exactly happened? Why is the Fox family’s second young master barking like a dog? It’s not like it’s the Dog family...


    "Let’s go, everyone, have a good meal,"


    Tao Yu patted Panda’s flank and turned to leave.


    After a moment of being stunned, they quickly followed him.


    Good heavens, this is too surreal...


    It felt like we’ve latched on to some incredibly powerful coattails...
