chapter 49 No more connection

Just now, Baldwin had captured Benjamin, making Raymond hesitant to act. But now that he has let him go, Raymond has nothing to fear. Just as he was about to make his move, Raymond suddenly felt an astonishingly powerful aura coming from outside. "Yu, Yu, Yu... General Yu!" The people of the Qiao Family also saw the newcomer and were stunned, stuttering in their speech. The person who walked in from outside was Cheyenn, dressed in black military attire, without a hat, her long hair tied in a ponytail, with two glittering golden dragon stars on each shoulder. "Cheyenn?!" Benjamin, upon seeing her, was also taken aback and exclaimed in surprise. Baldwin had clearly been kicked by Cheyenn, but why was she here? Cheyenn's expression was calm as she said indifferently, "Why is everyone kneeling? This isn't a feudal society anymore, stand up and speak." The people of the Qiao Family looked at each other, hesitant to stand up, wary of the Kang Family's attitude. "Didn't you hear me speak?" Cheyenn asked, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction. The people of the Qiao Family then numbly stood up, some even bending over to rub their sore knees. Baldwin slightly curled his lips, annoyed that Cheyenn, this woman, was meddling in his affairs, and stepped back. April watched this, frowning heavily, feeling indignant: "This guy has caused a huge mess, and now even General Yu is alarmed. Is he only afraid now? A coward who dares not face the consequences of his actions!" Cheyenn, with an indifferent face, scanned the room and then fell silent. The people of the Qiao Family were uneasy, unsure of Cheyenn's intentions, but it seemed she bore no malice. "Today's matter ends here!" Cheyenn finally spoke after a moment. Her presence made her the center of attention in an instant, with everyone's eyes on her, waiting for her to speak. Upon hearing Cheyenn's words, Benjamin's breathing halted for a moment, then he burst out angrily, "General Yu, look at my condition, and you want to end this matter here?!" Raymond also said, "General Yu, this is against the rules!" Cheyenn replied coldly, "I've already investigated the matter. Benjamin, you harbored ill intentions towards April, leading to all these subsequent events." "You were in the wrong from the start, don't act like a victim here. I won't be swayed by such behavior." Benjamin sneered, "So, I should just forget about the humiliation from the Qi family? Where does that leave our Kang Family's dignity?" Baldwin had already retreated to a corner, clearly not wanting any further involvement with Cheyenn, but to outsiders, he seemed fearful. "General Yu's actions are somewhat unreasonable," Raymond remarked. Cheyenn snorted coldly, her gaze sharp as she looked at Raymond and asked, "Perhaps you'd like to teach me how to handle things?" Raymond, a fierce and formidable figure, also dared not act rashly in front of this woman, known as the Female War God of Hua Country, and grunted without replying. "You were in the wrong, deserving of being beaten. Spreading this matter will not reflect well on the Kang Family. Moreover, since I've said it ends here, who dares to disobey? Those who do can try." Cheyenn's voice resonated in the room, rising and falling with emphasis. Although her voice was calm, the undeniable authority in it made it impossible for anyone to think of opposing her. She was a woman who could, with her presence alone, make the bravest of men unable to raise their heads. Benjamin clenched his teeth hard. With Cheyenn meddling in this matter and speaking so authoritatively, if he persisted, he would surely be at a disadvantage! Moreover, with the situation having escalated to this extent, it was indeed him harboring ill intentions towards April. Once Cheyenn spreads the word, the entire Kang Family's reputation will also suffer. Weighing the pros and cons, it's a loss either way! "Fine, fine, fine, today I'll give General Yu face. If you want to protect this waste and the Qiao Family, I have no objections!" "However, if this waste provokes me again, even if the Emperor himself comes, don't blame me for not showing face!" "The dignity of our Kang Family is not something anyone can easily tarnish!" Benjamin could only issue threats, but in his heart, he began to retreat. Everyone couldn't help but secretly marvel, what exactly was the relationship between Cheyenn and Baldwin? He actually came personally to resolve Baldwin's crisis! With a wave of his hand, Benjamin left the Qiao Family's residence with his men. "Young Master Kang, could the rumor about Cheyenn dumping Baldwin be false?" a follower couldn't help but ask. "Baldwin, that waste, has already become a live-in son-in-law at the Qiao Family. How could it be a rumor? It's mostly likely Cheyenn unilaterally breaking off the engagement, so feeling guilty, she came to help him this time," Benjamin said through gritted teeth. Raymond nodded in agreement, feeling that this must be the case. "Are we just going to let this matter go?!" a follower asked unwillingly, in a deep voice. With a fierce expression, Benjamin shook his head and said, "Let it go? How can we just let it go when he beat me so badly? If I don't kill him, how will I face anyone in the future?" "But we can't disregard General Yu's face..." someone whispered. Benjamin snorted coldly and said to Raymond, "Deputy steward, find an opportunity to take him out!" Raymond nodded and agreed to the task. Once Benjamin and his men left, the atmosphere at the Qiao Family relaxed. "Thank you, General Yu, for upholding justice for us!" Clyde bowed to Cheyenn in gratitude. Without Cheyenn's timely intervention, the Qiao Family would have been in serious trouble. Cheyenn nodded silently, then calmly said to Baldwin, "After this incident, we are even. I hope there will be no further entanglements between us." Baldwin, visibly displeased, thought of Cheyenn as a troublemaker. If she hadn't arrived just in time, Benjamin and Raymond might have ended up dead. Everyone was startled by these words and turned their attention to Baldwin. Clyde coughed and explained, "Baldwin was once the young master of the Qi Family and had some history with General Yu." Upon hearing this, the crowd understood but held Baldwin in even lower regard. Now that he was no longer the young master of the Qi Family and had used up Cheyenn's favor, they doubted he would be so bold again. Clyde wanted to invite Cheyenn to stay for dinner, but she shook her head and left directly. "So that's how it is..." April stared at Cheyenn's retreating figure, then clenched her fists with determination, "Someday, I will become someone like her. Why should I accept a man she looks down upon?!" With the crisis over, infighting began in the Qiao Family, with many urging Clyde to kick Baldwin out. However, Clyde sternly said, "This whole debacle is ultimately Benjamin's fault, and General Yu has helped us settle it!" "Attacking Benjamin was solely to ensure April's safety. I think it's reasonable. I disagree with expelling him!" Marisol chimed in, "Lance, you're being too stubborn... April, you have the most say, what do you think?" April, with a cold expression, agreed with her father, "I can't repay kindness with ingratitude."
