Chapter Summary
Moreover, according to Liu Ning's observation, these six people were not fighting individually; they had actually formed a small battle formation. If it were just one of them, or if these six people were fighting individually, Liu Ning wouldn't have anything to fear. No matter which direction he charged in, there were always three warrior-level experts fighting against him, and these three were all very strong, at least much stronger than those he had encountered before.
Liu Ning was well aware that he might only have one chance to make a move. How could someone so important not have bodyguards around? If he were allowed to make a move twice, then these people would be utterly negligent. The Jia family was the most prestigious family; how could they not have trained bodyguards? These people were definitely the elite of the elite.
After Liu Ning made his move, six powerful figures suddenly appeared around him. All six were at the Limit Warrior level. If it were just one of them, Liu Ning could easily handle it, but now that six of them appeared, it posed a greater challenge for him. Moreover, according to Liu Ning's observation, these six people were not fighting individually; they had actually formed a small battle formation.
Liu Ning was extremely surprised when he saw this.
After being reborn into this world, Liu Ning also heard about some formations. Within some ancient families, there are all kinds of battle formations. If used properly, they can increase one's combat power several times over.
Liu Ning never expected to encounter this situation today. If it were just one of them, or if these six people were fighting individually, Liu Ning wouldn't have anything to fear. But since these six people formed a formation, Liu Ning immediately felt the pressure increase exponentially. No matter which direction he charged in, there were always three warrior-level experts fighting against him, and these three were all very strong, at least much stronger than those he had encountered before.
The Jia family truly lived up to their reputation. Half a minute later, Liu Ning felt the pressure, and these people even struck Liu Ning's back. If it weren't for Liu Ning's strong defensive capabilities, he would probably have fallen from the city by now. There was nothing that could be done about it, since Liu Ning was still in the recovery period. Although Liu Ning's combat power had stopped declining after returning from Windmill City, it had not yet recovered to its former strength. However, Liu Ning knew in his heart that even at his peak, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of the formation.
"Stop it, all of you..."
Just then, everyone heard Jia Wenlan's voice. Jia Wenlan had somehow obtained a dagger, and at that moment, the dagger was right on Jia Wenlan's aorta. If Jia Wenlan's hand trembled even slightly, the dagger could probably sever Jia Wenlan's aorta.
Everyone was stunned. Although they had been ordered to assassinate Jia Wenlan, the Second Young Master had already given instructions that they should only give Jia Wenlan a warning and not actually harm her. If she were to be harmed, it would be a serious matter, and even the Second Young Master would have to pay the price. Only the people below would benefit.
Blood was already seeping from her neck. Jia Wenlan didn't know why she did it, but when she saw Liu Ning being hit, she felt a deep, piercing pain in her heart. So she picked up the dagger next to her and cut her skin. If these people continued to attack, she would really sever her carotid artery.
"Stop! All of you stop! If anything happens to Miss, I guarantee your entire family and ancestors for eighteen generations will not live..."
The warrior-level expert protecting Jia Wenlan extended his hands, telling her not to get too excited. The people around her knew that Jia Wenlan was the first in line to inherit the Jia family. Although Jia Wenlan had not returned, they understood that this was no joke. If something really happened, their ancestors for eighteen generations would not have peace. They knew how ruthless the Jia family was.
The reason they hadn't contacted them all these years was because the higher-ups wanted to train Jia Wenlan, and the assassination attempts on her were constant. They were certain that Jia Wenlan was alright. If Jia Wenlan had been seriously injured, these activities would have stopped long ago. The reason they tacitly approved of these activities was to make Jia Wenlan understand that society is extremely complex and dangerous, and that she simply couldn't survive without the Jia family.
The second young master of the Jia family glared fiercely at Liu Ning, but he also understood that now was not the time to throw a tantrum. If Jia Wenlan really got into trouble, he wouldn't have a good outcome either. Those people were indeed sent by him, but he also understood the higher-ups' intention: to use them to constantly hone Jia Wenlan and make her understand the horrors of society. But if anything happened to Jia Wenlan, his uncle, the current head of the Jia family, would probably be the first to kill him.
For these young masters of the Jia family, they also hoped that Jia Wenlan would not return. As long as Jia Wenlan did not return, their status would gradually rise. However, if Jia Wenlan returned, they would become the previous generation, and the next generation would become the heirs. This was something they absolutely could not tolerate.
Becoming an imperial uncle from a prince supposedly elevates their rank, but their actual power and resources decrease significantly. As princes, they would still receive a considerable amount of resources, and their families would continue to promote them. However, becoming imperial uncles means they are now at a higher level, resulting in a decrease in resources and a reduction in their power. After all, young people are the lifeblood of the Jia family, and they are unlikely to be allowed to continue to acquire new resources.
Seeing the look in Jia Er Gongzi's eyes, Jia Wenlan knew that Liu Ning's days were numbered. Therefore, Jia Wenlan had to do something. If she relied solely on the waitress and Wei Lan, there was absolutely no way she could stop the fake Er Gongzi, because the difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great.
"Second Young Master, you cannot go over there..."
The second young master of the Jia family walked towards Jia Wenlan. The extremely strong or crippled warrior of the Limit Warrior Realm blocked his way, as did the remaining bodyguards. These people were all direct descendants of the Jia family. Even if they died here, they would never back down, because their mission was to protect Jia Wenlan. It was clear that this second young master had ill intentions.
"Get out of my way! I'm your master too. Look closely, I wear the same badge. If you continue to block my way, don't blame me for taking your lives..."
The guy said angrily, but it was clear that these people were not going to back down; they remained standing in their original positions.
