Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

Center of the venue.

Baili Xin greeted the many guests in front, while Jiang Ye followed behind with a calm expression, not appearing reserved despite the large number of people.

As the melody of classical music played, the two slowly walked to the center of the venue, stepped onto the stairs, and ascended to the high platform.

During the event, many guests asked Jiang Ye questions, but Jiang Ye glanced at everyone in the room, gave a meaningful smile, and remained silent.

On the high platform, Baili Xin held a glass of wine in his right hand and glanced at Jiang Ye beside him.

Although he was displeased with Jiang Ye's attitude just now, it was nothing compared to the future of Baili Group.

Along the way, he had already told Jiang Ye about Baili Tuming's adopted son.

Strangely, Jiang Ye showed no surprise, not even a change in expression.

This surprised Bailixin, but he also found it interesting.

This shows that Jiang Ye doesn't care about Baili Tuming.

If I cared, I wouldn't be so indifferent.

Then your plan will be easier to implement.

Baili Xin faced the guests below the stage, his voice deep and magnetic.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this birthday banquet."

"I, Baili Xin, started from scratch and, over the course of thirty-five years, have finally developed the Baili Group to its current state..."

The guests listened with great interest to Baili Xin's story of how he rose to prominence.

Jiang Ye had no interest in listening. His gaze swept over Lin Qiye and the others, as well as Shen Qingzhu and the Ninth Seat in the corner.

as well as……

Baili Pangpang is slowly walking towards the venue... and Baili Jing is being dragged along by him!

……

A dozen minutes ago, in a villa next to the main building of Baili Group.

The villa gate was tightly closed, and only Baili Pangpang and Baili Jing were inside.

The atmosphere in the living room immediately became heavy.

After stuffing a piece of bread into his mouth, Baili Pangpang narrowed his eyes and looked at Baili Jing with an icy gaze.

He glanced at the Rolex on his wrist and sneered, "We still have some time, let's settle our accounts properly!"

Baili Jing smiled slightly, sat down on the sofa in the living room at a leisurely pace, and said with a playful look in his eyes, "Yes, it's time to settle things with you properly."

Seeing his fearless demeanor, Baili Pangpang frowned.

He clenched his right fist and spoke in a cold voice.

"Only Father can command the twelve forbidden artifacts of the Yellow Palace. How could you possibly order them around?"

"And your father's twelve precious collection items, you didn't use them at all to give Jiang Ye as a gift!"

Upon hearing this, Baili Jing's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Did you kill the men I sent to hunt you down?"

Baili Pangpang also looked angry, but naturally he wouldn't reveal Jiang Ye's involvement. He clenched his fist and said:

"So what if it is? Although you are the adopted son of the Baili family, from childhood to adulthood, in what way has this family ever mistreated you?"

“You have even more than I do. If you want to be the heir to the Baili Group, I'll give it to you. I don't understand these things either.”

"But why did you resort to such despicable means, turning the Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water Restriction Envoys against you, and sending the Boundless Realm Restriction Envoy to kill me?"

"I have never looked down on you, and I have always treated you like a brother. But what about you?"

"You'd stop at nothing to kill me. Do you have any conscience?"

Baili Pangpang stared intently at Baili Jing, almost roaring as he spoke these words.

Bai Lijing, who was sitting on the sofa, also showed anger on his face.

Because they failed to kill Baili Pangpang, they also lost [Qiyuan] and [Zhanbai].

He was already angry, and then he was scolded by his father.

This morning, Jiang Ye made himself look foolish again, spitting blood in front of his father...

How dare you scold yourself now!

Baili Jing's face contorted, and a cold glint gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Conscience? You're still so naive, hehehe..."

He turned the emerald green thumb ring on his hand, and the ring immediately disintegrated, covering Baili Jing's right hand like a tide.

Then a dagger appeared in his hand, gleaming with a cold, icy light.

"Baili Jing, what are you trying to do? Do you want Mom and Dad to see us killing each other? Don't forget what day it is today!"

Baili Pangpang's expression changed slightly, he clenched his fists and took a half step back.

Baili Jing chuckled, "Who do you think you are, daring to lecture me!"

"Mom and Dad? Do you think I could have obtained [Qiyuan] and [Zhanbai] without Dad's permission? Or that I could have mobilized the twelve forbidden artifact envoys of the Yellow Palace?"

Baili Pangpang's eyes widened in shock, and he asked in disbelief, "What...do you mean?"

"You still don't believe me when I say you're naive? Well then, let me tell you straight: it wasn't me who wanted to kill you..."

Baili Jing slowly approached and whispered in his ear, "It's your father who wants to kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Baili Pangpang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he abruptly took several steps back, landing hard on his backside.

He shook his head, his voice trembling, and said, "Impossible! I'm his son, why would he kill me?!"

In fact, Baili Pangpang was somewhat prepared. The only person who could produce [Qiyuan] and [Zhanbai] was his father.

But he didn't know why?

"Don't you understand? You are not your father's son at all."

Baili Jing said with amusement, "Who is my father? He is the founder of Baili Group, the most successful entrepreneur in Great Xia."

"He is a high-ranking member of the Night Watch, the curator of the Forbidden Artifacts Collection, and a legend in the entire business world of Great Xia."

"How could someone like him have a son as lazy, fat, and utterly useless as you?"

"You're nothing more than a shield for me, a tool to protect me from assassination attempts."

"From childhood to adulthood, I have everything you have, and even more than you."

"Think back carefully, in all your life, has your father ever given you a proper look?"

"You were just a tool to shield me from assassination attempts. Now that you're no longer useful, it's only natural that you should be discarded."

Upon hearing this, Baili Pangpang's face went blank, and his whole body trembled.

Baili Jing sneered, and said smugly, "You know?"

"While you were being assassinated and hunted outside, I was at home eating my mother's cooking and learning how to manage the company from my father. This is a privilege you will never receive."

"Everything you have is given to you by me. You should thank me for allowing you to live a prosperous life for more than ten years."

"And now, it's time to return your name to me."

Baili Jing picked up the gleaming dagger and slowly approached Baili Pangpang.

The latter gave a bitter smile. He hadn't expected this to be the truth; he had been an outsider from beginning to end.

A useless person who no one will love, a tool who has been deceived for more than ten years and used to shield Baili Jing from harm.

"So that's how it is, haha... I thought of countless answers when I came back."

"I've considered that you wanted to kill me for the sake of the heir. If that's the case, I want to tell you that I'm willing to give it to you."

"Because no matter what, we are a family, a family we trust completely..."

"But the parents I never suspected were all fake; it was all a lie!"

Baili Pangpang stood up from the ground, looking dejected, and took out the peace charm engraved with blessings from his pocket.

"Molly, your good intentions have been wasted."

As soon as he finished speaking, the peace charm engraved with the name Baili Xin was broken by Baili Pangpang.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Baili Jing, at the jade armor on his right hand and the dagger in his hand.

Baili Pangpang gradually realized, "Brother Jiangye, you already knew all along."

At that moment, images of Jiang Ye, Molly, Qi Ye, and Cao Yuan flashed through his mind...

His lips gradually turned up, and tears streamed down his face.

"It seems... I'm not alone..."

Baili Pangpang said coldly, "Baili Jing, do you think you can kill me with just these two forbidden items?"

Baili Jing smiled. "You can sense spiritual power now? You can open the [Free Space]?"

“Your mother put the drug in your breakfast just now, so you are no different from an ordinary person now.”

"What do you want to fight me with? Your team member Jiang Ye? But Jiang Ye is probably already a guest of honor at the Baili Group."

Baili Pangpang glanced sideways at the lavish breakfast on the dining table, and felt as if his heart had been pricked by needles.

"Bai Lijing, you'll never know the true meaning of brotherhood."

Swish!

Golden light flashed around Baili Pangpang, and the [Yao Guang] was activated in an instant, sending out countless golden swords that pierced straight through the villa building.

Upon seeing this, Baili Jing's pupils suddenly contracted.
