If Qian Xia hadn't flashed that Flying Dagger.
Tom could have turned a blind eye.
There was no need to insist on Qian Xia surrendering his weapon.
After all...
Even if Qian Xia held onto his weapon, Tom and Hummingbird could have killed him in minutes, without him causing any ripple.
In Tom's view, Ye Lingchen was one of the Ye Family and a guest of Fang Xiaocao, deserving some privileges.
And as Ye Lingchen's bodyguard, a guard trained by the Ye Family, Qian Xia should know the rules.
But Tom never expected that Qian Xia would pull out a knife in the villa, so blatantly breaking the rules of Jianghu.
This could be seen as an act of provocation.
Tom not killing Qian Xia outright had already been a gesture of respect to Ye Lingchen.
But this weapon...
Qian Xia had to hand it over!
Under Tom's intense gaze, Qian Xia looked somewhat shifty.
