Chapter 6: Eric, happy birthday!

Pearl searched for most of the day but couldn't find Ben. No one answered the phone. This made Pearl furious to death. When she finally dragged her tired body back home, it was already midnight. Take a look inside. What! Ben was playing chess with Angus in the living room. Pearl was immediately furious. She rushed to Ben, raised her high heels, and wanted to kick him. Finally, she felt it was not elegant, so she pinched Ben's waist hard with her hands. "Why are you like this? I am looking for you everywhere, but you don't answer the phone. You are just here playing chess with my dad. Are you still a man?!" Before Ben could speak, Angus coughed twice, "Daughter, why do you speak to Ben with such an attitude? Ben had a busy day outside and returned to play chess with me to relax. What's wrong?" "Ben, don't argue with her. Let's continue playing chess. It's your turn." With that said, the two started playing chess again... Hiss! Pearl took a breath of air and looked at the two men in disbelief. Weird! Two weird people! Pearl stomped her feet angrily, and when she was about to lose her temper, she suddenly saw her father's white hair and finally swallowed the words that came to her lips. Her father was old! With a long sigh, Pearl stepped on her high heels and walked away. Uh-huh! As soon as Pearl stepped forward, Angus and Ben put down their chess pieces at the same time. Ben looked at the direction Pearl was leaving and said softly, "Is she going to ask for help from her uncle?" Angus took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Ben and sighed, "My daughter is good at everything, but she is too strong-tempered. Although she looks cold and arrogant on the surface, she has a strong sense of responsibility and always takes on everything herself." "Although she is dissatisfied with this marriage, as long as it is registered, she will not leave you alone." Ben seemed to be thinking, and felt a little moved in his heart, "Uncle, you should tell her my identity." Angus smiled bitterly, "I told her, but she doesn't believe you can fight against King of Jiang Bei. She doesn't know what martial master means... let alone your title in Kun Lun North." "Ever since her father disappeared five years ago, she has brought up the whole family by herself and is used to relying on herself for everything. For many things, she stubbornly insists on her ideas." Snapped! Angus slapped Ben's shoulder fiercely, "Ben, give her some time to get to know you. She will eventually understand what kind of person her husband is. When the time comes, I won't bet that she will pursue you spontaneously. And you, after getting to know the real her, will like her." Ben couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Uncle, as a father... you are also a weirdo." "Hahaha, stop talking, I have to take medicine." Angus couldn't help laughing, got up, and left. Ben studied the chess game. The more he looked, the more intense light emitted from his eyes. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked in the direction where Angus left, and said in a daze, "Uncle, you hide it well." Back in the room, Ben did not sleep, but stood by the window and drank alone by the moon. The next day, Ben got up early and found Pearl at the door of his room. A pink silk nightgown clung tightly to her skin, outlining a devilish figure. The wavy hair was a bit messy and draped to one side. Even without makeup, she was still so beautiful, noble, and elegant. Ben couldn't help but take a second look, "Do you want to come in and sleep with me? Well, it's still early, let's go back to sleep." Click! Pearl was so angry that she stamped her feet and gave Ben a hard look, "Can you be more serious?" "I went to ask my uncle for help last night. My uncle asked Mr. Elder Wei, a leading figure in the medical community in Jiang Bei and the king of acupuncture, to come forward. Elder Wei is a master of acupuncture and is a guest of countless wealthy families in Jiang Bei. He also saved Eric. With Elder Wei protecting you, you have nothing to worry about." "Remember, when you went to the Ye family, you should listen to Elder Wei in everything. It's time to apologize and bow your head. After this incident, I hope you can live a steady life and stop causing trouble for me." After leaving a few words, Pearl dragged her tired body and turned around to leave. This view moved Ben. Ben's expression became serious, "Why do you do this?" Click! Pearl stopped abruptly and did not look back, "Although I am not satisfied with this marriage, you have been my husband since we registered. I can bully you, but others cannot. You made a mistake, I can punish you, but others can't!” By the time she finished speaking, she had already left. Domineering! So arrogant! This woman...has a personality. Ben couldn't help but like her a little bit. No, Wasn't this what I should say? You are stealing the show... For the first time, Ben had the idea of ​​having a heart-to-heart talk with her... Half an hour later, Ben went out carrying a gift bag containing Douglas's head. Pearl had left. In the living room, Angus was reading the newspaper. When he saw Ben coming downstairs, Angus did not raise his head and just said casually, "Eric's position in Zhonghai is very important. Once you take action today, then you can no longer hide your identity, and it will completely kick off the shocking prelude to that year. This will set off a shocking storm in Zhonghai City. Have you thought about it? " "What is supposed to come will eventually come. Someone must finally kick off the storms of the past." By the time he finished speaking, Ben had already walked out of the living room door. Outside the yard, Jacob had already parked his car and was waiting. Ben boarded the car, "Let's go." Half an hour later, the car stopped steadily at the gate of Ye's Mansion. The gate was majestic, and the two stone lions were like door gods, shocking everyone. It was still very cold in March. However, Ye's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations and was full of joy, with big "longevity" characters pasted everywhere. There was an endless stream of wealthy and distinguished guests bringing heavy gifts. "Jacob, let's go. Go and wish Eric's birthday." Ben took the lead and walked in. Entering the gate, there was a large courtyard inside, with more than 20 large round tables filled with guests. A festive stage was set up right in front, with singers dancing and singing, which was very lively. Ben and Jacob found a corner seat to sit down. Before his buttocks were even warm from sitting, a young man came over with an old man and said slightly coldly, "Are you Ben?" Ben glanced at the young man and said calmly, "Yes." The young man snorted, "I am Jason Wei, and this is my grandfather, James Wei, the king of acupuncture in Jiang Bei." "Boy, you killed Douglas and broke off nine of Gavin's fingers. You were destined to die. I don't know where you got the blessings in this life to be able to make Second Elder Mu come forward to intercede for you." James walked slowly and glanced at Ben coldly, his attitude was very rude. The second elder Mu is Pearl's second uncle. Because he divided up half of the Mu family's assets, he had a transcendent status in Zhonghai. After listening to James' words, Ben did not respond, but sat in his seat and continued drinking. Jason was immediately dissatisfied with Ben's attitude: "Ben, what is your attitude? My grandfather is the acupuncture king of Jiang Bei. How much kindness is this to protect you this time? You can't even say thank you?" Gulu. Ben continued to drink, looking indifferent and not answering. Even from beginning to end, Ben didn't even look at them. "My grandpa is famous all over Jiang Bei, and many wealthy and distinguished families treat him like a noble guest. How dare you ignore my grandpa... It's so rude!" Jason was angry. James stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "This kid has no quality. Our Wei family is a noble one, so we don't need to be on the same level as him." "Ben, I'm here to save Second Elder Mu's face. I've agreed with the King of Jiang Bei. You don't have to die, but you must cut off one of your arms and publicly bow down to the King of Jiang Bei. In this case, the matter is over." As he said that, James felt very proud, "This is already the best result. It is better to be disabled than to die. Looking at the whole of Jiang Bei, there are not many people who can make the King of Jiang Bei regress except me, James. This time, you're lucky.” The moment the words fell—— Swish, swish, swish! More than 20 strong men in black suits, holding special electric batons, surrounded him. Immediately afterward, Eric and Gavin came over aggressively. Eric briefly greeted James and then said loudly, "Everyone, before the birthday banquet begins, I, Eric, need to deal with a private matter. As we all know, just last night, my beloved disciple Douglas was killed in the Tower, and my son also had nine fingers cut off. And the culprit was him, Ben." "Ben, for the sake of Elder Wei and Second Elder Mu, I will not kill you today. However, I must cut off one of your arms. Then you will bow to me and crawl out of Ye's Mansion like a dog. In this way, I can keep you alive!" After speaking, Eric waved his hand, and a strong man immediately slapped a sharp machete on the table in front of Ben, "Cut off your arm!" Hiss! Everyone at present gasped at the same time and looked at Ben. "What? This person is the culprit who killed Douglas? Is he crazy? How dare he offend the King of Jiang Bei?!" "He offended the King of Jiang Bei. He knew he couldn't run away, so he came here to cut off his arm to survive. Hey, if he had known the results now, he couldn't do it at first!" "If Second Elder Mu and Elder Wei hadn't come forward to intercede for him, all eighteen generations of him would have been killed..." There are different opinions, all of which are ridiculing. Ben kept his head down and drank without saying a word. Eric clasped his hands behind his back, cold and arrogant, "Ben, I, Eric, always keep my word. As long as you do as I say, I will not kill you. Today, Nell the Deputy Director of the Jiang Bei Supervision Department will bear witness." A young man in a black suit stood up, holding a piece of paper in his hand, put it on the table, and said coldly, "I am Nell, deputy director of the Jiang Bei Supervision Department. The writing on this piece of paper is written well if you do as he said, the matter will be canceled. There is also Eric’s signature below. Just sign your name and it will take effect.” "I came forward to testify because of Second Second Elder Mu and Elder Wei. This is your only way to survive. Either do it or die!" Gavin gritted his teeth and yelled, "Ben, aren't you very good at fighting? Why do you still have to ask someone to help intercede in the end? Why don't you cut off your arm quickly, kowtow to me three times, and then crawl out of my family door like a dog?!" Uh-huh! Ben picked up the paper with one hand, looked at the words on it, and sneered, "Break off an arm? Kowtow three times? Crawl out of the Ye family gate like a dog?" "You, Eric, are you worthy?" After speaking, Ben slowly tore the paper into pieces. James was furious, "Ben, are you trying to live up to my plea?" "I, Ben, don't need you to intercede for my conflict?" Ben snorted coldly and threw the scraps of paper over Eric's head. Thousands of confetti were flying and falling. Ben slowly raised his head, met Eric's angry gaze, and smiled evilly. "Eric, long time no see." Uh-huh! After Eric saw Ben's face clearly, he suddenly took a breath of air, "It's you?!!! Are you not dead?!" In five years, the boy had grown up, and his face had changed drastically. But Eric still recognized him. Ben, the young commander of the Longshan Xiao family! He originally thought it was just the same name and surname, but he didn't expect... Ben picked up the duffel bag and threw it at Eric's feet. Wow! Douglas' head rolled out. A head! Both eyes of the head were still wide open. He died with a grievance. As for Ben, the smile on his lips became more and more evil, "I'm here to wish you a birthday today. This is my gift to you." "Eric, happy birthday!" ----------
