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

The banquet hall was ornately decorated and aesthetically pleasing, yet originally filled with melodious classical music.

The spectacular view that had descended from the sky suddenly stopped.

The hall fell into a deathly silence as all the guests looked up at the high platform.

Baili Jing's face was swollen and red like a pig's head, and he kept vomiting blood.

When Baili Xin saw his son like this, he just frowned deeply and looked in one direction below the stage.

"Baili Xin, I have brought you your successor!"

A deep, hoarse voice came from behind the platform.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

Baili Pangpang walked towards them with blood on his chest and a resolute expression on his face.

The guests blocking his way instinctively made way for him when they saw the look in Baili Pangpang's eyes.

"Chubby!"

Lin Qiye's eyes widened in shock as he was about to step forward when a hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Let him handle it himself."

A gentle voice rang out, and Lin Qiye couldn't help but turn his head, where Jiang Ye's smiling face came into view.

He was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Jiang Ye, what exactly happened?"

An Qingyu and Cao Yuan, who were standing nearby, also looked puzzled when they saw Baili Pangpang's blood-stained clothes and his unfamiliar gaze.

Wearing a dark blue dress, Jialan looked at Baili Pangpang as he slowly walked up to the platform and said softly.

"His eyes... held a resolute look..."

Jiang Ye also looked over, a smile appearing on his lips.

"You'll find out soon enough, it's all a scam!"

scam!?

Lin Qiye and the other two were taken aback.

On the other side, the 010 Night Watch team had two different expressions when they saw Baili Tuming.

Wei Xiuming and the other team members had extremely gloomy expressions.

Miao Su waved worriedly at Baili Tuming, "Little Tuming..."

One of the team members walked up to Wei Xiuming and whispered, "Captain, should we make our move?"

Wei Xiuming narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Jiang Ye to the side, and thought for a while.

The Baili family had made ample preparations for this birthday banquet, so their open betrayal was clearly unwise.

The overall strength of the fifth reserve team is only at the level of Kawakami, even if Jiang Ye has the ability to fight beyond his level.

Can he defeat Klein, the Forbidden Artifact Master?

Wei Xiuming glanced at Miao Su and nodded.

The team members, understanding the implication, smiled slightly, returned to their original positions, and whispered a few words to each other.

The guests at the venue were also abuzz with discussion when they saw Baili Pangpang walk onto the platform.

"Isn't this the young master of the Baili Group? What's wrong with him?"

"Who is this chubby little guy? He doesn't look like it."

"That's right, it's the young master of the Baili Group, I've met him before."

"That looks like Baili Jing, the adopted son of the Baili family, on the stage. Hmm, could these two be fighting over the position of heir?"

"Even so, it doesn't have to come all the way to the chairman's place. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

"Yes, you're right, perhaps there's another reason."

"..."

Ignoring the words of the guests in the hall, Baili Pangpang stepped onto the stairs and walked up to the high platform.

Those emotionless eyes met Baili Xin's gaze.

The atmosphere immediately became heavy.

On the stage, Baili Jing, who was lying on the ground, twisted his body and looked up at Baili Xin.

"Father...I..."

"Shut up, you useless thing!" Baili Xin interrupted sharply.

Baili Jing gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Baili Xin looked into Baili Pangpang's eyes with a hint of coldness.

The fact that Baili Pangpang came here means that he already knows what happened.

"What are you trying to do? Are you trying to get revenge this way?"

Baili Pangpang shook his head. "I don't want to take revenge on anyone. You've raised me for over ten years. Even if this is a scam, I should thank you."

These words caused an uproar among the guests below.

Baili Xin frowned deeply, looked at Baili Jing on the ground, and his eyes flashed with disgust and disdain.

Baili Pangpang's appearance was something he hadn't expected.

The plan to have Baili Jing completely replace Baili Tuming also failed completely.

The only thing that can be salvaged now is...

"Tu Ming, what kind of scam it is is not important. The fact that you can get here shows that you are more capable than him."

"Put aside everything you know, and I can make you the heir to the Baili Group."

"I believe that in your hands, Baili Group will be able to flourish and prosper in the future."

Upon hearing this, Baili Jing's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at Baili Xin with disbelief.

“Father, I am your real son, he is a fake, a fake!” he cried out anxiously.

Baili Xin snorted coldly, "The Baili family doesn't need a good-for-nothing in charge."

Baili Jing froze, his eyes wide open, his face ashen.

Looking at all this, Baili Pangpang thought that this Baili family, which was known as the top family in the Great Xia Dynasty and had won countless honors, was a family that had won countless honors.

It's so ridiculous.

Baili Xin, who prioritizes profit above all else, is willing to abandon even his own son for the benefit of the Baili family.

"How about it? Come back and continue to lead the Baili Group. We will still be your parents, and everything will still be yours."

Baili Xin slowly extended his right hand, pointing to the Baili Group building and that magnificent business empire.

Baili Pangpang's eyes remained completely still from the moment his mother fired the gun without hesitation.

He then realized that it was all a lie.

In this family, kinship is cheaper than grass.

Baili Pangpang clenched his fists, glanced back at Jiang Ye and Lin Qiye below the stage, and his eyes became even more determined.

"Baili Xin!"

"I don't care about the heir to the Baili Group, or the business empire you've built up over half your life! I don't care at all!"

"All I want is for my parents to love me, so I prayed for a good luck charm for you, and even if I'm being chased, I want to come back for your birthday."

Baili Pangpang opened his palm, revealing a broken amulet with Baili Xin's name engraved on it.

"But ever since I found out that in your eyes I'm just a tool to shield your own son from harm, a lazy, fat piece of trash."

“I’ve always wanted your approval, so I joined the Night’s Watch to work hard and become stronger. I also want to make you proud.”

"But in the end, it was all my fantasy. I was just an adopted son, a tool that could be discarded at any time."

These words caused an uproar among the guests, who all wore expressions of shock.

"Huh...huh? Baili Tuming is an adopted son? What's going on?"

"Do you even need to guess? Baili Jing is the real young master of the Baili Group, but in order to protect him, the chairman found an adopted son to divert those assassination targets."

"Then Baili Tuming is quite pitiful, living in a scam all along."

"What's so pitiful about it? For the Baili family, this is considered normal..."

"..."

On the stage, Baili Xin's palms clenched slightly, and his eyes flashed with a gloomy light.

"Do you really want to make a scene? I've raised you for so many years, this is the value you should repay."

"Consider this your first lesson. If it's worthless, then forget it..."

"Shut up!"

Baili Pangpang roared, "All you care about is profit!"

"From this moment forward, I am no longer Baili Tuming, and I have no further connection with your Baili family!"

"You!" Baili Pangpang pointed at Baili Xin, "You don't deserve to be a father!"

Baili Xin's face was extremely gloomy.

"It seems you don't intend to agree."

The words have fallen!

Suddenly, the surroundings of the venue dimmed, and the light in the entire venue turned an eerie deep blue.

Like an invisible blue dome, it enveloped the venue.

All the guests in the audience froze in place.
