Yu Sen, their second son and the youngest in the family, had been the apple of everyone's eye since childhood.
His mother doted on him excessively; any request he made must be satisfied—if not immediately, then they would strive to fulfill it eventually.
Therefore, the moment he saw his mother, Yu Sen's lost confidence returned. With his mom, his dad, and his grandpa around, what was a Lin Hao worth?
Yu Sen's father, Yu Jianghe, was also famously indulgent towards his own son and was a top figure in Binhai City.
"Son, who bullied you?" Yu Jianghe turned, smiling as he asked, a smile that suggested he had everything under control.
"It's that guy." Yu Sen pointed at Lin Hao.
Following his gaze, Yu Jianghe, as well as Yu Sen's mother Sun Lan, his grandfather Yu Shilong, and Binhai's top official Zou Tianyu, all shifted their attention to Lin Hao.
As their gazes shifted, many in the room sighed inwardly.
Lin Hao was done for.
They knew Lin Hao was strong.
But they knew even more that these four were even stronger; it wouldn't be surprising if special police were already positioned in every direction around the hotel at this moment.
If any one of them spoke up, no matter how impressive Lin Hao was, he wouldn't escape death.
Today, someone might really lose their life.
Zhou Ziwei, Lin Shiran, and Lin Zhongyu all looked rather troubled.
Zou Tianyu glanced at Wang Zhengzong and Wang Rong lying on the ground and furrowed his brows.
Then, with a wave of his hand,
the next moment, doctors with stretchers came in from outside, quickly approaching and taking away Wang Rong and Wang Zhengzong, leaving only the blood on the ground.
Lin Hao didn't interfere; he merely watched impassively, his face betraying no emotion.
His gaze overlooked Yu Sen and his parents, first sweeping over Zou Tianyu and ultimately resting on the face of Yu Shilong.
He recognized Yu Shilong.
In his previous life, after becoming a Cultivator, he had met many important figures, and Yu Shilong was one of them.
Yu Shilong's status among those people was negligible.
Compared to those truly significant figures, he was like an ordinary person compared to Zou Tianyu.
Nonetheless, there was no doubt that Yu Shilong was a Cultivator too.
He stepped into the world of Cultivation at the age of forty and reached the Seventh Layer Heaven of Transcend Mortality in a little over two decades.
He was also the first Cultivator in the Yu Family.
Thanks to his achievements, many in the Yu Family later entered the ranks of Cultivators, and some even surpassed him.
Sensing Lin Hao's gaze, Yu Shilong looked up at him.
In that moment, Yu Shilong's eyelids involuntarily twitched fiercely.
A powerful presence!
This was a supremely strong Cultivator!
Stronger than him!
Yu Shilong was shocked to his core, his mouth twitching uncontrollably; he had never expected Yu Sen to provoke such a person.
"Young man, was it you who bullied my son?" Sun Lan looked at Lin Hao with anger, clearly seeing the slap mark on her own son's face.
As a mother, it pained her heart.
Deeply pained!
"Yes." Lin Hao nodded indifferently.
"Do you know who my son is?" Sun Lan hadn't expected Lin Hao to be so composed as she arrogantly asked, "And do you know who I am, and do you know about the Yu Family?"
"I don't know, nor do I need to know." Lin Hao's reply was simple and sparing with words; he truly did not wish to engage further with this sort of woman.
"Good, very good, do you realize that with just a word from me, your life could end here and now!"
"So what?" Lin Hao retorted, his attitude casual and without giving Sun Lan any regard, not even bothering to hide the smile on his lips.
The look in his eyes when he saw Sun Lan was as if he was looking at a... clown.
Yes, a clown!
Around them, many were shocked, at a loss for where Lin Hao got his courage.
"Does this guy really have no fear of death?"
"So ignorant, daring to provoke the Yu Family."
"What a pity, so young, and just for a woman, is it worth it?"
Whispers circulated amongst the crowd, some pitying, some marveling at the power of the Yu Family, and of course, many were just there for the spectacle.
With the top official of Binhai City present, though silent, everyone clearly understood his stance.
After all, he had a significant relationship with Yu Shilong.
"Very well, it seems you truly are unafraid…" Sun Lan laughed, a laugh born of frustration. Having married into the Yu Family for so many years, she had never encountered someone like Lin Hao.
Even her, who hadn't been angered in many years, felt irritated at this moment, especially seeing Lin Hao's indifferent demeanor.
Even Yu Jianghe was laughing: "Young man, I must say, you are impressive, much like me when I was young."
"If this were thirty years ago, you would certainly have made your mark. Unfortunately, times have changed."
"And you, you have provoked the wrong person."
"Do you know that right now, everything is under our control?"
Yu Jianghe spoke with gravity, every word strong and forceful, the aura of a superior undeniable in his presence.
Lin Hao's identity had already been investigated by him; in his eyes, disposing of this young man was a matter of a single word.
"Provoked the wrong person?" Facing Yu Jianghe, Lin Hao's heart remained undisturbed, and his mocking smile was barely concealed.
"Idiot..."
Lin Hao uttered two words, unwilling to say more, and once again turned to look at Yu Shilong.
"Idiot, you dare call us idiots, who do you think you are!" Yu Sen raged uncontrollably, "Mom, deal with him quickly!"
"Son, don't worry, your grandfather is here, we should respect the elders' wishes in such matters, understand?" In this situation, Sun Lan still didn't forget to teach Yu Sen.
"Yes!" Yu Sen nodded.
He knew asking his grandfather was just a formality, as Yu Shilong had always spoiled him like his mother, never once denying his requests from childhood.
"What your mom said is right, in the future whenever elders are present, respect their wishes first, understand?" Yu Jianghe also took the moment to impart a lesson to Yu Sen before respectfully turning to his father:
"Dad, your grandson has been slapped, and the Yu Family has been insulted by this young man. With so many people watching today, if this matter isn't settled, our Yu Family's dignity will be swept away."
"You are the eldest here; how this matter should be handled, we leave to your decision."
Hearing his son's words, Yu Shilong took a deep, meaningful sigh and glanced at Lin Hao.
He then surveyed Yu Jianghe, Sun Lan, and Yu Sen.
Finally, taking a deep breath and with an air of helplessness, he spoke:
"All three of you, kneel right now and apologize to Mr. Lin, and request his forgiveness."
