Chapter 8

"Kotora, was it you who made the move? In my villa, you dare to be so reckless, do you really think I won't dare to kill you?" Xue Meier's long hair suddenly began to move without wind, and a cold, lethal intent began to spread throughout the villa.

The people who had been surrounding them, watching the commotion, now showed expressions of shock on their faces. They hadn't expected that this woman with a perfect and delicate face would also possess such overwhelming strength.

As for Kotora, he was secretly cursing in his heart. He had been provoked by Bu Fan's gaze, but he hadn't anticipated that he would offend two powerful women at once.

"Sorry, beautiful ladies, actually, Kotora didn't mean to go all out just now. It was just that he couldn't control himself. I think we should treat this brother's injuries first, rather than argue here!" The young man who had come with Kotora suddenly walked to his side and said calmly to the beauties.

However, as he spoke, a faint golden light began to emanate from his body, a sign that his ability was being activated.

Feeling the support from his companion, Kotora's face showed a hint of gratitude. He then lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, Miss Xue, I went too far and couldn't control myself!"

"Hey, what's all the commotion about? Why are all of you here?" At that moment, a gentle voice came from outside the hall, and then a man and a woman slowly walked in.

The man who spoke had a gentle smile on his face, while the woman beside him looked puzzled.

"Sister Meier, what happened here?" Seeing the crowd gathered, Qiao Yurou's face showed a look of confusion. Then, she glared at Kotora, wondering if he was causing trouble again.

"Miss Yurou, Young Master Yuhao!" Seeing the newcomers, Kotora's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he bowed his head respectfully.

"What's going on? Kotora, did you fight with someone again?" Qiao Yuhao, seeing the scene, understood most of it and asked coldly.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Yuhao, I just wanted to spar with the young man, but I didn't realize I went too far!" Kotora quickly changed his tone and explained to Qiao Yuhao in a low voice.

"Slap!"

Qiao Yuhao slapped Kotora, sending him to the ground. "You fool, how many times have I told you? I sent you here to help Yurou, not to cause trouble. If it happens again, I'll deal with you myself!"

Qiao Yuhao seemed to be punishing Kotora, but that slap didn't have much force. Instead, his words changed the nature of the entire incident.

At this moment, as Bu Yan's ability slowly flowed into Bu Fan's body, Bu Fan's injuries gradually stabilized.

"Don't let me run into you outside, or I will kill you!" Bu Yan gently lifted Bu Fan into her arms, turned to look at the bowed Kotora, and said coldly.

After saying that, she ignored everyone present and walked out, carrying Bu Fan.

"Hmph!"

Xue Meier also snorted coldly and followed Bu Yan out of the villa!

The other women glanced at the people present and also left, leaving only Qiao Yurou and Qiao Yuhao standing there.

"Yurou, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again!" Qiao Yuhao looked at Qiao Yurou, feeling both helpless and pained.

Qiao Yurou knew that her brother had been protecting Kotora just now, but she also knew that Kotora was sent by her brother to help her. Without the family's support, the help she could get was minimal.

Moreover, Kotora wasn't alone; his Kotora Team was also a well-known squad, which was a significant boost for Qiao Yurou.

"Sigh, Brother, forget it. Discipline Kotora well. I'll go check on Bu Yan and the others. What Kotora did this time was really too much!" Qiao Yurou finally sighed and said softly, then turned and left.

After Qiao Yurou left, Kotora came to Qiao Yuhao and said in a low voice, "Young Master, I'm sorry!"

"Waste of space!"

Qiao Yuhao's demeanor changed from gentle to harsh, and he slapped Kotora again, this time much harder. Kotora's face swelled up, and he spat out two teeth with blood.

"Young Master, Kotora was just overwhelmed with anger. That young man's gaze was truly terrifying, and his performance was far from ordinary!" The young man who had come with Kotora had to step forward and explain to Qiao Yuhao.

Hearing the man's explanation, the cruel look on Qiao Yuhao's face slowly faded, but his gaze remained unfriendly.

"Zishan, you should know the purpose of my sending you here. I hope this kind of foolish behavior doesn't happen again, or I won't hesitate to take other measures!" With that, Qiao Yuhao turned and left.

Zishan watched Qiao Yuhao's departing figure and let out a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Bu Yan carried Bu Fan back to another villa. This villa was slightly smaller, only two stories, but the interior decoration was even more luxurious!

"You fool, why did you have to stand up to that idiot? You're not that strong!" Xue Meier followed in, looking at the injured Bu Fan and sighed.

"Better to die standing than to live kneeling!" Bu Fan suddenly whispered, a phrase that moved them deeply. It seemed to be the belief that had kept him standing. Then, his head tilted, and he fainted.

"Bu Yan, your brother is really strong!" Xue Meier said seriously to Bu Yan.

Bu Yan didn't speak, just stared coldly at the unconscious Bu Fan lying on the sofa. She felt that she had never truly understood this familiar man, but at this moment, a strange pain welled up in her heart.

"Bu Yan, I'm sorry, I was negligent in this matter!" Xia Xiaoxue also walked in, looking at Bu Fan on the sofa, and said softly to Bu Yan.

"It's not your fault!" Bu Yan replied coldly, her beautiful face showing no emotion.

"Sister Bu Yan, I think we should put Brother Bu Fan in the recovery pod! He will recover faster that way!" At that moment, another frail-looking woman walked to Bu Yan's side and suggested softly.

This woman wasn't as beautiful as Bu Yan and Xue Meier, and she wasn't as tall, but her skin was as smooth and fine as milk, making one unable to look away.

"I understand. Han Fei, go start the recovery pod for me!" Bu Yan nodded lightly, then lifted Bu Fan again and walked with the woman to the underground recovery pod.

After Bu Yan and Ji Hanfei left with Bu Fan, Qiao Yurou walked in, her face filled with worry.

As the founder of Tianxin Studio, such a major conflict among team members was a headache for her.

On one side was the support sent by her brother, and on the other side was a genius she had invited with a large sum of money. Both were extraordinary, and she didn't know how to handle the situation.

"Sister Meier, what should I do?" Qiao Yurou, after hearing Xia Xiaoxue's report on Bu Yan's actions, couldn't help but ask Xue Meier in distress.

"Simple, fire Kotora and then compensate Bu Fan generously!" Xue Meier answered briefly.

Between an ordinary sixth-stage warrior and a genius girl, the choice was easy, especially since she already liked Bu Fan.

"This, let me think about it!" Qiao Yurou couldn't help but say hesitantly.

"Ah!" Seeing this, Xue Meier didn't say anything more, just sighed lightly and walked upstairs.
