One person: A fusion of Kizaru, the king of the trash-talking gang.

"Special Envoy Jiang, what do you mean by this...?"

The same words, spoken again by Chen Jinkui, carried a completely different meaning.

"Old Chen, don't you understand what I mean?"

In response to Chen Jinkui's cold question, Jiang Bailan looked directly into his eyes and chuckled.

However, that smile is quite intriguing.

When friends come, we welcome them with fine wine; when wolves come, we meet them with hunting rifles…

Seeing that Chen Jinkui was so unreasonable and still unwilling to let go of this matter, Jiang Bailan had no choice but to follow suit and use some underhanded methods.

Meanwhile, in the hall, apart from Feng Baobao still staring at everyone with wide eyes, Zhang Chulan and the other two felt the impending storm and sat up straight, listening to Jiang Bailan and Chen Jinkui's rebuttal.

They knew in their hearts that whether Chen Jinkui compromised or they caused a scene at the Chen family home, the success or failure of the matter depended on this one move.

However, they were more surprised than anything else.

Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing were alright, having witnessed Jiang Bailan's incredibly powerful abilities, but they were worried that he might cause some serious trouble that would be difficult to resolve in the end.

Wang Ye stared wide-eyed, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Because he was buried in the ground, Wang Ye did not see Jiang Bailan's miraculous appearance in front of everyone. He originally thought that the other party was going to use the company to pressure Chen Jinkui, but he did not expect the result to be so explosive!

They directly threatened one of the Ten Elders by using his family members.

He was devastated; the 2000 million was well spent, and Old Jiang was such a generous guy!

From this day forward, Lao Jiang is Wang Ye's half-brother.

Thinking this, Wang Ye had already adjusted his position, ready to activate the Mad Queen's Strange Gate at any moment, preparing to launch a pincer attack from both sides to catch Chen Jinkui off guard and let him taste the Nine Heavens where magic and lasers intertwine.

"Special Envoy Jiang, I remember Wang Ye isn't exactly a company employee!"

"Isn't that right? It's okay, he can be anytime."

Jiang Bailan naturally understood what Chen Jinkui meant; he simply wanted Jiang Bailan to mind his own business. However, since he had accepted Wang Ye's money, Jiang Bailan indicated that he could make Wang Ye a member of the company at any time.

Hearing the unyielding tone in that voice, and considering Jiang Bailan's terrifying strength, Chen Jinkui fell silent.

The news of the Wang family's downfall had already spread throughout the industry. Although the company had shifted the blame to "The Great Sage of Balancing Accounts" Quanxing, the ten elders knew in their hearts that it was most likely the work of this suddenly appearing special envoy.

Thinking about this, Chen Jinkui's heart became increasingly conflicted.

His family and the madwoman Qimen were two things that made it difficult for him to choose, or rather, he couldn't give up either of them.

Ever since he saw Wang Ye use the Mad Queen's Strange Gate at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, it was as if a seed had been planted in his heart. This seed, woven from greed and desire, tormented him every moment, devouring his will every second.

He was completely captivated!

His concern for his family and his greed for the madwoman's magic tricks—these two thoughts constantly intertwined and collided in his mind, continuously stimulating his spirit and gradually leading him into obsession.

family!

The Mad Queen's Strange Tales!

The Mad Queen's Strange Tales!

The Mad Queen's Strange Tales!

Looking at Wang Ye so close at hand, Chen Jinkui, whose mind was constantly shifting, slowly stood up and stared at the other person with piercing eyes, just like a street thug seeing a beautiful woman, unable to take his eyes off her.

It was as if the Mad Queen Qimen was beckoning to him.

Zhang Chulan: "Something's not right."

Zhuge Qing: "Remove the 'something,' this guy seems to have taken a liking to Old Wang."

Wang Ye: "Holy crap, this guy stood up, and why is he staring at me like that?"

Looking at Chen Jinkui's infatuated gaze, Jiang Bailan was also surprised. How could the head of the Shuzi Sect be unable to resist such a small temptation?

Jiang Bailan was really afraid that this guy would suddenly say, "I've succeeded, Daoist Master!"

He remembered that in the original comic, Chen Jinkui seemed to actually go mad later on in order to obtain the Mad Queen's Qimen.

But if the other party really went crazy like that, then they would be in real trouble—there would be no way to explain it.

If they drive one of the Ten Elders crazy, they'll probably be on the front page of tomorrow's Extraordinary People Forum.

Zhang Chulan and the others had to step on the sewing machine until it broke down before it could be produced.

Thinking of this, Jiang Bailan felt that things couldn't continue like this, so she got up and walked in front of him, blocking Chen Jinkui's burning gaze.

"Old Chen, how about this..."

Before Jiang Bailan could finish speaking, Chen Jinkui, as if he had suddenly heard a terrifying sound, stiffly turned his head and fixed his gaze firmly on Jiang Bailan.

All thoughts vanished from his mind, leaving only the three large characters "Jiang Bailan".

That's right, it's this guy!

This guy is the one who's stopping me from getting the Mad Queen's Secret Technique!

Once he's gone, no one will be able to stop me from obtaining the Mad Queen's Qimen!

Jiang Bailan's sudden intervention was like a towering mountain blocking Chen Jinkui's path, trying to stop him from pursuing the ultimate in magic and the Mad Queen's Strange Gate, one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques that countless sorcerers were obsessed with.

Thinking of this, Chen Jinkui became excited. Six large golden coins appeared in his palm. He didn't care about Jiang Bailan's strength. He just wanted to get rid of this guy as soon as possible and then take down Wang Ye's method of forcing the Mad Queen to confess.

"Fortune money!"

Six large golden coins rose into the air, and as Chen Jinkui channeled his Qi, they instantly transformed into six golden rays of cold light that flew towards Jiang Bailan's body.

"Old Jiang! I'm here to help you!"

Before Jiang Bailan could make a move, Wang Ye, who was poised to strike, stepped onto a chair, shouted, and then unleashed the corresponding spell using the Mad Queen's Mysterious Gate technique.

"Kunzi·Tuheche!"

Zhang Chulan: "Damn it!"

Zhuge Qing: "I'll trap you, you monkey!"

Jiang Bailan: "??? Idiot!"

Looking at the earthen cart that rose from the ground in front of him, resembling a mountain barrier, Jiang Bailan's face was full of question marks.

Dude, do I really need your help, you little karaomi?

You think things aren't bad enough already?

"This power!"

"This magic!"

"That's right! That's right! This is the Mad Queen's Qimen!!"

Looking at the mud wall blocking the ceiling, and then at Wang Ye wearing a Taoist robe, Chen Jinkui said, "They're back, they're all back!"

Just like during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony!

"Wang Ye, hand over the Mad Queen's Qimen, and I'll give you anything you want!"

With a roar, Chen Jinkui, his eyes gleaming with excitement and his face contorted with madness, disregarded Jiang Bailan, recalled the six golden coins that had been sent flying, and charged toward Wang Ye.

"Damn it! We've lost a fortune this time!!"

Watching Chen Jinkui rush out like a madman, Jiang Bailan cursed under his breath, lamenting what had happened. He just wanted to make a little money, but it turned out like this.

This is such a hassle!

His body transformed into golden light and sped forward, appearing in front of Chen Jinkui in an instant. The large, shimmering fist he raised slammed into Chen Jinkui's face.

For someone who has gone mad, there is no more effective treatment than physical therapy.

Snapped!

A gust of wind swept in, and then Chen Jinkui's face caved in, his head tilted uncontrollably to one side, and he fell rapidly to the ground like a bouncing ball, flying towards the distant wall.

boom!

A loud bang!

The wooden wall exploded with a roar, and Chen Jinkui's figure flew out amidst the broken wood chips, sliding all the way across the open ground.

Disciple of the Art Sect: "??? Help! Someone's causing trouble! The sect leader has been beaten up!!"

Jiang Bailan: "Kid, I suspect you're looking for trouble!!"
