The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 246: Personally Dragged Out

"Huh? This old fox is quite good at hiding. Do I have to personally drag you out?"

Ye Qingtian snorted coldly.

The next evening.

At the Long Family Manor, a grand engagement banquet was taking place.

The manor was filled with luxurious cars and a sea of people.

The opulent castle complex seemed to define what luxury is, what the top estate in Shanghai truly meant.

The manor was built along the coast, and a massive yacht was also part of the estate.

An unprecedented grand gala was underway aboard the yacht, which was the real center of the event.

The attendees of this event were all first-class figures, renowned families of Huaxia’s spiritual art world and aristocracy were all present.

Many notable family conglomerates also sent representatives, given the immense influence of Spirit Masters.

As members of the Long Family’s younger generation, whether direct or collateral, they would unquestionably be the focus, admired by countless people.

Ye Canghai and his group also arrived, though they were very low-key, and the Long Family did not make a fuss.

Suddenly, Fang Lingfei’s eyes spotted Ye Qingtian and another person: "Hm, why are they here too?"

"It’s normal for heirs of secular families to be here."

Ye Canghai remarked.

In the crowd, a dazzling girl appeared, as if a goddess had descended upon the world.

Angel’s face, devil’s body, dressed in a long golden gown, she was simply the perfect woman.

The precious gem of the Spiritual Technique Long Family—Long Jiatong.

Tonight she was the most radiant woman!

Surrounding Long Jiatong were numerous influential people, enough to frighten anyone.

All these super figures converged here, leaving the audience awestruck.

However, Long Jiatong felt a trace of worry in her heart, she had been restless all night, always sensing that something was about to happen.

All she could think of was how she tricked the Magic Box from Ye Qingtian, nothing else.

Could that guy have some special identity?

Although Long Jiatong felt disdain, there was always a hint of anxiety in her heart.

This inexplicable irritation lingered, even she didn’t know why.

"Jiatong!"

With a voice full of magnetism, a tall and handsome young man appeared in the room.

He seemed like a perfect War God straight out of a movie.

Long Jiatong immediately went to greet him, a trace of admiration in her eyes.

Her attitude was completely different from before.

"Do you know his identity? Revealing it would absolutely shock everyone!"

Someone whispered.

"What is his identity?"

This naturally piqued everyone’s curiosity.

"He is Xing Yifan, Long Jiatong’s fiancé! The Young Sect Leader of the Thunder Sect, the top sect in the spiritual art world!"

The person revealed the identity.

Instantly, everyone was shocked beyond words.

Xing Yifan represented the top genius in the spiritual art world, naturally attracting much attention.

"Jiatong, you seem unhappy?"

Xing Yifan’s gaze seemed to penetrate, looking into Long Jiatong’s heart.

Long Jiatong bit her lip: "I always feel like something is going to happen!"

Long Jiatong was still troubled by last night’s events, always feeling that Ye Qingtian was not ordinary.

People who practice spirit techniques are usually a bit sensitive in this aspect and always feel that something is about to happen.

"Jiatong, rest assured, with me here, no one in this world dares to cause trouble!"

Xing Yifan consoled.

"Mm! Thank you, brother Yifan!"

Long Jiatong smiled, feeling somewhat relieved.

"Long Jiatong, I waited all night for your promise!"

But at this moment, a voice thundered across the room.

The voice was like a clap of thunder, shocking everyone present.

Hearing the familiar voice, Long Jiatong trembled, her face turning pale, a layer of sweat forming on her forehead.

Her eyes gradually filled with disbelief.

Everyone turned to look in one direction—

At the edge of the yacht stood a handsome man like a Celestial God, his steps light yet seemed to drum on Long Jiatong’s heart.

Long Jiatong slowly lifted her head and looked over.

Their eyes met, and Long Jiatong almost suffocated, as if her soul was being drawn out.

It was him!

It really was him!

She didn’t expect him to actually come!

"Who is this person?"

Amidst the confusion, a path automatically opened for Ye Qingtian, allowing him to pass through.

"Miss Long Jiatong, long time no see!"

Ye Qingtian walked straight up to her and said with a smile.

"Hm? The way they interact looks like they’re familiar with each other?"

Sheng Yunhan observed.

Fang Lingfei couldn’t help but nod: "Yes, it seems there’s some background."

Long Jiatong composed herself and forced a slight smile: "Oh? And you are?"

"Have you really forgotten me?"

Ye Qingtian’s tone was enigmatic.

"This gentleman is really humorous!"

Long Jiatong chuckled.

Ye Qingtian glanced far away and said: "Today seems to be your engagement banquet! Does that moon up there resemble the promise you owed me last night?"

As soon as Ye Qingtian said this, everyone understood.

This guy came to the Long Family to demand repayment...

Long Jiatong was about to speak when Xing Yifan coldly interjected: "Who are you to speak to Jiatong like that?"

Xing Yifan’s tall frame stood like a War God before Ye Qingtian, akin to a small mountain.

Ye Qingtian sneered: "Step aside! This is none of your business!"

Xing Yifan wanted to say more, but Ye Qingtian’s voice burst forth like thunder: "Last night at the auction, you took my item and promised me something; I waited the entire night, where is it?"

Ye Qingtian’s words fell like a bombshell, leaving everyone utterly astonished.

After calming herself, Long Jiatong smiled slightly: "How do you mean, sir? I didn’t take anything from you last night?"

Long Jiatong was indeed adept at distorting facts; she continued: "Does everyone believe me or what this gentleman says?"

"Naturally, we believe Miss Long Jiatong!"

Everyone present chose to trust Long Jiatong.

Ye Qingtian smiled: "Miss Long Jiatong, are you planning to renege?"

"This never happened, how can it be a reneging?"

Long Jiatong’s expression was calm, serenely meeting Ye Qingtian’s gaze.

"Very well, excellent!"

Ye Qingtian took out some small items from his person, pieced them together, and placed them on a small table.

Moments later, a projector was formed, casting a beam of light.

A projection over ten meters long appeared in mid-air, extraordinarily clear.

Scenes flashed within, clearly showing the process of Long Jiatong taking the box from the auction last night, even the sounds were all recorded.

As soon as the projection formed, all eyes were drawn to it.

"It is indeed true! Miss Long really did say that!"

"This video resource is absolutely not edited, it’s the original presentation!"

"But this guy is amusing, why would Long Wuya want to meet him?"

...

Listening to the surrounding chatter, Long Jiatong’s heart sank to the bottom, this matter was now known to all.

But she had already dealt with all the surveillance from last night’s auction, even silenced everyone who knew the truth.

Where did Ye Qingtian get the footage?
