Du Wei, the head of the Du Family and also the Du Brothers' father, was shocked speechless after hearing Feng Yuxiang's words, but he still hasn't been able to comprehend the situation because everything had happened too fast.
How did his children offend Madam Feng, the number one expert in Phoenix City? And more importantly, who is this Young Master that Feng Yuxiang was talking about? This is the first time he has heard of Feng Yuxiang addressing someone in such a respectful manner.
Meanwhile, the other 2 families that had followed the Du Family to this restaurant were already regretting their decision, as they were potentially in jeopardy because of the Du Family.
"What the hell is going on here, Du Wei? I thought you brought us here for a business meeting! If you're doing this to purposefully damage our family's reputation, this means war!" One of them said to him.
"W-Wait! I also don't know what's going on here! Du Bai! Du Hai! Explain yourselves!" Du Wei immediately turned to his sons for answers.
However, the Du Brothers didn't know of Madam Feng or why their father was angry at them.
"What? We didn't do anything! He's the one who's wrong! He's the one we have been looking for! That person who insulted our Du Family and assaulted us! You said that you'd take care of him once we find him!" Du Bai said as he pointed at Yuan.
Du Wei turned to look at Yuan, who was emitting the aura of a Spirit Grandmaster, his heart trembling with shock and disbelief.
A Spirit Grandmaster had assaulted the Du Brothers? If that was the case, they wouldn't even be alive! Furthermore, he didn't even recognize this Spirit Grandmaster!
"You told me that he was a Spirit Warrior! And that he'd attacked you only because you were from the Du Family! You mentioned nothing about a Spirit Grandmaster! As if a Spirit Grandmaster would go out of his way to bully you idiots if you didn't do anything wrong in the first place!" Du Wei shouted at them, feeling a headache coming.
"What? Spirit Grandmaster?" The Du Brothers were shocked upon hearing this.
They were certain that Yuan was a Spirit Warrior when they fought. How did he suddenly become a Spirit Grandmaster in such a short time when they have only managed to increase their own cultivation base by a single level?
"Regardless of what happened between my Young Master and your children in the past, it's clear who's in the wrong right now. We were having a peaceful meal, yet they came in here barking like wild dogs, disturbing our peace. Even worse, he'd insulted my Young Master while telling me to follow him like some kind of servant. Is the Du Family asking me, Feng Yuxiang, to lower my head and become a servant of the Du Family?" Feng Yuxiang asked him in a cold voice.
"T-The Du Family does not dare!" Du Wei quickly said.
Then he turned to look at his sons with an enraged expression.
"Get on your knees and apologize to Madam Feng and everyone here! I will personally take care of you two once we get back to the house!"
"W-What? But—"
Du Bai wanted to say that this wasn't his fault, but before he could even speak, Du Wei flicked his arm and slapped Du Bai in the face.
"Get on your knees and apologize!" Du Wei repeated.
Du Bai laid on the floor with disbelief on his face. This is the first time his father had hit him.
When Du Hai saw his brother getting hit, he knew this was serious and he quickly kneeled on the ground before Yuan and the others.
"I apologize for everything. Please forgive me."
Du Bai followed his brother a moment later and kneeled beside Du Hai.
"I apologize." Du Bai spoke in a forceful voice, clearly unwilling to apologize.
However, when Du Wei saw this, he suddenly extended his arms with an open palm, striking Du Bai in the back the next moment.
"Ah!"
Du Bai released a painful cry before coughing up a mouthful of blood, feeling the cultivation inside his Dantian escaping his body.
In a single and decisive strike, Du Wei had crippled his own son's cultivation.
"Du Bai!" Du Hai was shocked when he saw this, and he turned to look at his father with a fearful look on his face.
"F-Father… you…" Du Bai also stared at him in shock.
Du Wei ignored them and turned to look at Feng Yuxiang before bowing to her.
"If that wasn't enough, I am willing to kill him. Please, spare the Du Family, Madam Feng."
"Uhh…"
Feng Yuxiang was not really that surprised by Du Wei's actions. If this was before she began following Yuan, she might have even wanted Du Bai's head. However, now that she's following Yuan, and knowing his character, she knew that he wouldn't let her kill the Du Brothers.
Thus, she turned to look at Yuan, who was standing there silently, clearly surprised by what had just occurred. Everything had happened so fast, and it ended before he could even react.
Yuan said after a moment of silence, "There's no need to kill him. You have already done enough."
Although he didn't show it on his face, Yuan was pretty appalled that Du Wei would go to such lengths to please another individual. He couldn't comprehend the idea of killing one's own son to make an apology.
"My Young Master has spoken! You can now stop bothering us and scram!" Feng Yuxiang then said.
"Thank you for your mercy, Madam Feng and Young Master." Du Wei bowed to them again before turning to look at the Spirit Master working for their family.
"Pick up the trash and let's go!"
After saying that, Du Wei left the restaurant with the others whilst the Spirit Master carried the Du Brothers away like previously.
"I deeply apologize for that just now, esteemed guests. We'll clean up the place immediately." The manager said to them.
A worker came to clean the blood from the floor a few moments later.
Once the room was clean again, the manager and the other workers left the room, leaving Yuan and the others alone.
