"You think you can meddle in the affairs of the Lai Family! Who do you think you are?"
Lai Hao stood up, glaring at Ancient Sorcerer with eyes as lifeless as a dead goldfish, his voice sharp like a knife.
Ancient Sorcerer, however, was unfazed. "This house of Zhou Yake is being watched not only by you but also by people like Zhong Tiedong. Although they are despicable, they can be understood; after all, they have no blood ties to Zhou Yake and are merely greedy."
"But you? You have blood ties to Zhou Yake, yet you still resort to trickery and bully her as a widow? Is it just because her husband is dead? It's truly disgusting!"
"Think about it; is this something a human would do? You are even worse than beasts!"
Ancient Sorcerer's words were like daggers stabbing into Lai Hao and the others, causing their faces to flush red and then pale.
"You... you... this has nothing to do with you! This is our Lai Family matter; get out!"
Lai Hao's face turned red and white. He couldn't refute Ancient Sorcerer's words because they were the truth, leaving him with no choice but to once again assert his position as the clan leader.
With a cold snort, Ancient Sorcerer said, "When I see injustice, I can't just stand by. I cannot tolerate bullying orphans and widows. Are you not ashamed?"
"Damn it! I'll kill you, you meddling brat!"
A burly man, unable to counter Ancient Sorcerer, charged forward with his fist raised, aiming to strike.
"Ah!"
Zhou Yake cried out in worry as the man charging at Ancient Sorcerer was Lai Fei, the "instructor" of the Lai Family. He was responsible for training the younger members of the family and had returned from military service, apparently having been some sort of special forces. How could Ancient Sorcerer possibly be his match?
With a cold laugh, Ancient Sorcerer did not dodge or evade. He took a step forward and simply threw a punch at Lai Fei's chest.
The other party had the demeanor of an army, and the Ancient Sorcerer could see it at a glance.
But so what? Leaving aside age, just the level of training was not on the same plane. The Ancient Sorcerer's punch was devoid of any fancy moves; it emphasized speed and power. When that punch came, Lai Fei had no choice but to save himself, yet he couldn't.
Seeing the Ancient Sorcerer's punch, Lai Fei was taken aback. If he didn't find a way out, by the time he struck back, the opponent would have likely beaten him to the point of spitting blood—this punch looked effortless, but Lai Fei recognized its severity.
He barely managed to retract his outstretched right hand and met the Ancient Sorer's right fist.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, amidst the astonished gazes of everyone present, Lai Fei's tall figure flew backward and crashed to the ground with a thud, unable to get up for a long time.
Lai Hao's mouth twitched. Putting everything else aside, just the fact that a body weighing around one hundred sixty to seventy pounds was sent flying by a single punch—what kind of power did that require?
Moreover, although Lai Fei was a bit older, he was still the strongest fighter among the Lai family; in old terms, he was "not someone to be taken lightly."
Looking at Lai Hao, the Ancient Sorcerer coldly said, "Hmph! With my fist, can this matter be resolved?"
"You... you..."
Lai Hao's face turned dark purple with anger, but he didn't know what to say. After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a response: "Fine! Then I'll see how powerful your fist really is!"
"Get lost! Otherwise, I won't hold back with this punch."
The Ancient Sorcerer couldn't be bothered to listen to someone like Lai Hao ramble on.
Lai Hao was so angry that his body trembled. The Ancient Sorcerer waved his hand while speaking, as if shooing away flies, clearly not taking himself seriously.
"Alright! Let's go!"
Lai Hao knew that staying any longer would only bring humiliation upon himself, so he waved his hand and led the others away.
"Ancient Sorcerer, you need to be careful. These people will definitely cause you trouble in the future. Why don't you... move to another place?"
For his own sake, the Ancient Sorcerer not only got involved with Zhong Tiedong but also attracted Lai Hao and the others. Zhou Yake didn't want anything bad to happen, so she advised the Ancient Sorcerer to leave.
"Oh, it's fine. They can't do anything to me. I'm not bragging; I can take down one of them easily, two of them even more so. Last night, that Zhong Tiedong ambushed me at the alley entrance..."
Before the Ancient Sorcerer could finish his sentence, Zhou Yake gasped and asked, "What happened next?"
"Oh, I was fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you."
Zhou Yake paused, thinking that made sense.
"Hmph, I broke one of his legs. If I see him again, it won't be so easy for him. So you don't need to worry; I'm staying here. Let's see what they can do to me."
A fierce look flashed across the Ancient Sorcerer's face; he felt he had been too lenient before.
Zhou Yake opened her mouth to say something but ultimately held back.
"You don't need to worry about this matter; I'll handle it. By the way, those disgusting people almost made me forget about serious matters. I contacted a friend who is a police officer and told her about your husband’s situation. She agreed to look into it and see if there are any leads."
Hearing the Ancient Sorcerer say this, Zhou Yake's eyes turned red again.
"This... this..."
After being reminded by the Ancient Sorcerer, Zhou Yake recalled every detail of her husband's last moments. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her husband could not have committed suicide. If someone else had killed him, how could she forgive herself for causing her husband to die unjustly?
The thoughts of self-blame continued to swirl in Zhou Yake's mind. Last night, she had already decided to risk everything to seek justice for her husband, willing to pay any price, but the only thing she couldn't let go of was her daughter.
Now, hearing the Ancient Sorcerer say that they had found someone to handle the case again, although she didn't know how it would end, it was still a glimmer of hope, wasn't it?
"Well, I already said earlier, when we see injustice, we should step in. Since we have encountered this, it must be fate; we should help where we can."
In the dark, there is a plan. The Ancient Sorcerer believed that since he had seen that shadow, there must be a cause and effect involved. If he could help and allow the spirit to reincarnate without any burdens, that would also be a good deed.
"I really can't thank you enough."
Zhou Yake held back her tears; at that moment, she truly didn't know how to express her gratitude.
"I will inform you as soon as I have news."
At the same time that the Ancient Sorcerer and Zhou Yake were talking, in another location, several people were conspiring against them.
