"Jiyue, what's wrong with you?" Li Xiyun nearly broke down as she saw Liu Jiyue in such a state. She felt trapped, unable to approach him. Liu Jiyue was her fiancé, and she was carrying his child. Now that he had turned into this, she couldn't bear to think about how her future would unfold. Who would want to marry an old man?
Li Xiyun's parents were also taken aback. Li Daotian, despite his dislike for Liu Jiyue, felt concerned for his daughter upon seeing her fiancé in such a condition.
"Jiang Chen, Jiyue spoke out of turn; you could have just scolded him a bit. Why did you have to do this to him?" Li Daotian stammered, overwhelmed by the shocking events of the day.
"Uncle Li, considering you are a local, I've already shown some leniency. Taking away fifty years of his life is merely a small punishment; otherwise, he would have died countless times by now," Jiang Chen replied nonchalantly.
The crowd shuddered at his words, feeling a mix of fear and awe towards Jiang Chen. He had casually taken away another person's fifty years of life; such power was beyond ordinary comprehension. Even Gu Yun Nan was deeply shaken.
"What kind of person is this young man? When did the Huaxia Magic world produce such a prodigy?" Gu Yun Nan thought to himself, increasingly impressed by Jiang Chen.
Li Daotian stared blankly at Jiang Chen, as if he were a mere mortal gazing at a god atop the clouds. In that moment, he felt powerless and didn't know what to say.
Given Jiang Chen's current strength and status, he had already given Li Daotian face; there was nothing more to demand.
Li Xiyun couldn't accept it. She looked at the aged Liu Jiyue, shaking her head in despair as if she might go mad.
Seeing her son in such a state, Han Baiying broke free from Ding Yan and rushed to embrace Liu Jiyue. He looked frail and old, his eyes clouded over; his voice was weak enough that one could believe he was Han Baiying's grandfather.
"Mr. Jiang, I... I am willing to return five billion immediately; I only ask that you spare my brother. He is still young; he can't end up like this!" Liu Toukang pleaded.
"Li Shao, I remember telling you that I despise liars. You should understand me by now. Your brother has paid the price; your Liu Family must also pay," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Liu Toukang's expression changed drastically.
Jiang Chen would not easily let them off the hook; taking away his brother's fifty years of life was merely the first step in punishing the Liu Family.
Liu Toukang didn't want to become an old man himself. At that moment, he set aside his identity as the young master of the Liu Family and knelt down on the ground.
"Mr. Jiang, it’s all my fault. I will make amends in the future. Please forgive me and spare our Liu Family," Liu Toukang begged.
"It's a bit late to regret now. Of course, I won't kill you, but while death may be avoided, punishment cannot be escaped," Jiang Chen said again as he reached out to take away thirty years from Liu Toukang's lifespan and another thirty from Han Baiying's.
Liu Toukang collapsed onto the ground, instantly appearing sixty years old; even with a strong heart, he found it hard to bear.
As for Han Baiying, seeing her skin turn as wrinkled as old tree bark caused her to faint immediately. As a wealthy lady who cared deeply about her appearance, transforming from a middle-aged woman into an old hag felt worse than death itself.
