253: Typical double standards

Chapter 253: A Typical Double Standard

The Bai family's main gate was wide open.

Because of the generous rewards given by Bai Yunzong, the Bai family's professionals rushed out, their blood boiling.

They didn't care if they were killing Lu Ran or not.

They just wanted to join the fun, fish in troubled waters, and then collect their money!

These few million were too easy to earn.

However, as soon as a small group of people ran out after the gate opened,

they suddenly stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide as they stared at the street outside.

The Bai family was located on a main street, and the wide street now seemed a bit crowded.

Four teams had gathered, each forming a square formation, completely surrounding the Bai family's mansion gate!

A quick glance showed that

the four teams belonged to four different guilds.

Tiandao Alliance!

War Flag National Protection Army!

Mirror Flower Water Moon!

Red Cloak Tower!

The Four Great Guilds of Dragon Xia, four teams, four formations!

This...

The first group of people who ran out were collectively dumbfounded.

They even recognized the leaders of these four teams.

They weren't just random leaders found by the four guilds; they were the Guild Masters of the respective Four Great Guilds!

Yu Qingcang!

Lei Tai!

Liu Xinxin!

Ye Hongyi!

The crowd watching the commotion on the street was already excited.

"Holy cow, this scene is too exaggerated!"

"Lu Ran has such great influence. I'm really impressed with the Bai family. So what if Bai Lei died?"

"And Bai Lei didn't die unjustly. Lu Ran wasn't maliciously killing him."

"Normal challenge, if you're not as skilled, you die. What's there to say?"

"Now the Bai family is finished."

"Haha... The first batch that rushed out must be scared to death, right? Haha..."

...

Indeed, that was the case.

The group that had just come out wouldn't dare to charge forward even if it meant their lives.

There was nowhere to go!

They also had to worry that if they charged too aggressively, the Four Great Guilds might misunderstand and directly suppress them!

But they didn't go out, blocking the entrance, while the Bai family's professionals behind them were unaware, eagerly pushing forward, even with burning enthusiasm.

"What are the guys in front doing? Move it!"

"Damn it, stop dawdling! Deploy the troops, kill Lu Ran!"

"If you're not moving, get out of the way! Let me go first!"

"I'm really speechless. The gate is so big, can't you get out?"

"Kill Lu Ran, charge!"

...

The shouts from behind rose and fell, getting louder and louder.

But they simply couldn't squeeze out.

Firstly, the mansion gate was only so big, and the people outside absolutely refused to move forward, so no one could squeeze out.

Secondly, the people outside were actually relaying the message back, but the shouts of killing were too loud, making the effect minimal.

And so,

an awkward scene unfolded.

Those in front were scared witless, not daring to charge further, standing rooted to the spot.

Those behind desperately squeezed forward, clueless about the situation, cursing incessantly.

The entire Bai family's contingent was in utter chaos!

At the very back of the group,

Bai Yunzong, who was about to follow the team out, also frowned.

He said coldly, "What are these useless people doing? Why aren't they going out?"

The butler beside him looked at the crowd in confusion.

He also couldn't see outside and didn't know what was happening.

Seeing the butler's bewildered expression, Bai Yunzong, with his temperament, couldn't hold back any longer.

He immediately took large strides forward.

The Bai family professionals blocking his way were roughly pushed aside by Bai Yunzong.

Bai Yunzong made his way to the entrance and rushed out.

He cursed loudly, "The street outside is so wide, why can't you get out, you..."

But before he could finish his sentence,

Bai Yunzong suddenly froze.

He also saw the four teams, the four formations, on the street outside!

And with Bai Yunzong's status, he immediately recognized the leaders of the four teams.

Bai Yunzong's heart trembled violently.

The people from the Four Great Guilds had arrived so quickly!

And they had gathered together, led personally by their respective Guild Masters!

Looking at their team compositions, although the number of people in each team was not very large, when these four guilds were combined, it was quite a lot!

Moreover, these professionals were all high-level combat professionals, the first echelon of the Four Great Guilds!

With them uniting to suppress the Bai family, the Bai family wouldn't be able to do anything today!

"Yu Qingcang, what is the meaning of this?" Bai Yunzong asked through gritted teeth.

Yu Qingcang looked at Bai Yunzong indifferently.

He said, "Don't you know why we're here? Lu Ran is a provisional member of our Four Great Guilds. You are so openly trying to kill Lu Ran, we cannot ignore it."

"He killed my son!" Bai Yunzong roared.

"Yes, he killed him, legally and legitimately. Within the Tianfu Association, there are rules for challenging rankings. If you don't agree with the rules, you can have your son withdraw from the Tianfu Association. Since he stayed in the Tianfu Association, he must abide by the rules," Ye Hongyi said calmly.

"But my son didn't deserve to die, even if he lost..." Bai Yunzong said, gritting his teeth.

But before he could finish his sentence,

he was interrupted by Liu Xinxin.

"According to the rules of the Tianfu Association, life or death is irrelevant in challenges, and before the challenge, Lu Ran and your son signed a deathmatch contract. The winner lives, the loser dies. Your son was inferior in skill; Lu Ran did not kill maliciously. What fault is there?" Liu Xinxin retorted.

Bai Yunzong's expression was volatile.

Before he could speak,

Liu Xinxin continued, "Your son, Bai Lei, in his years at the Tianfu Association, climbed from an initial rank of 172 to his current first place. His strength is commendable. However, during this process, your son challenged 34 opponents in the Tianfu Association, 12 of whom died, all of whom were killed by your son after he won. Is that correct?"

Bai Yunzong opened his mouth,

but not a single word came out.

Liu Xinxin was right!

As the young master of the Bai family, Bai Yunzong naturally knew that his son was ruthless, but he had always been indifferent to it.

Because it wasn't his son who died; if they died, they died.

He even encountered a few people whose relatives were killed by Bai Lei who came to cause trouble.

Bai Yunzong didn't even pay compensation, and even that small amount of money was a drop in the ocean for the Bai family. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to pay, he just wasn't willing to.

Bai Yunzong's rhetoric at the time was identical to Liu Xinxin's now.

Tianfu Association challenges, life or death is irrelevant!

Bai Lei's high death rate in challenges was quite rare even within the Tianfu Association.

But because Bai Lei indeed had some strength, and his professional talent was powerful, and everything was within the rules, no one could say anything.

"How is it that now that your son has been killed, you're like this? It's within the rules, legal and legitimate. What is your reason for seeking revenge?" Liu Xinxin asked calmly.

Bai Yunzong gritted his teeth,

staring at Liu Xinxin for a few seconds.

He said, "The reason is that he killed my son! I don't care about any rules! Anyone who dares to kill my son will pay with their life! Even if your Four Great Guilds unite to protect him, I will kill him! You can't protect him forever!"

Pfft~

"Haha..." Lei Tai couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out, "Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm a blunt person, so I speak directly. With all due respect, we are here today to seek justice for Lu Ran, and it has nothing to do with protecting him. He doesn't need our protection at all. You good-for-nothings from the Bai family want to kill Lu Ran? Dream on!"
