"But sir..." The Patriarch of the Cai Family trembled all over, lifting his head to look at Xue An with a troubled face.
It has to be known that although the Cai Family was just one of the major families on Heaven’s Eye Star, and had some renown in the chess world, if they were to kneel before Gong Xueman in front of so many people, then the Cai Family would become a laughingstock.
By then, their Cai Family would be completely ruined.
Thus, he looked to Xue An with the last bit of hope, wishing that this mysterious and formidable man would spare him.
Yet Xue An was unmoved, merely saying indifferently, "What, thinking of reneging?"
"Of course not, but sir, if you could just listen to me..." the Patriarch of the Cai Family said anxiously, wanting to say something.
Xue An waved his hand, "No need to speak, I don’t want to hear it. I’m giving you three breaths’ time, if you haven’t knelt by then, I will make you kneel forever!"
Xue An’s tone was light but seemed to contain supreme authority, causing the faces of everyone from the Cai Family to drastically change.
"Sir..."
"One!" Xue An said, extending a finger without room for doubt.
The Patriarch of the Cai Family clenched his teeth and harshly kicked the limp Cai Yongxin on the ground, who looked like a dead dog.
"You fool, go and apologize to Miss Xueman!"
Struck by thunder, Cai Yongxin instantly came to his senses.
Right!
Gong Xueman was his only lifeline at this moment.
Without any hesitation, he crawled on his knees, tears streaming down, and cried out, "Xueman, I was wrong, please spare our Cai Family! I truly realize my mistake!"
Cai Yongxin’s action made the onlookers sneer coldly.
But it must be said, this move was indeed effective.
At least, Gong Xueman showed a moment of hesitation.
But before she could plead, Xue An slightly furrowed his brow and sharply shouted, "Silence!"
With those words,
A massive pressure descended directly on the heads of the Cai Family members.
Without even a chance to resist, Cai Yongxin was crushed into a pulp.
As for the Patriarch of the Cai Family and others, they all groaned and knelt on the ground.
Even because the immense force was so overpowering, their kneecaps shattered as they knelt.
The entire place was shocked.
The acts of Xue An at the chess court had not been witnessed by these people outside.
But looking at how Xue An, without even moving a finger, merely with a light shout, had made a noble family of chess unable to resist and directly kneel in the dust.
This kind of strength was nothing short of terrifying.
Everyone’s face changed color.
As for the Cai Family members, their faces were pale as paper, partly because of the pain, but more so because of fear.
Fear of the powerful deterrence that Xue An had shown.
Fear was also evident in Gong Xueman’s eyes, after all, she was just a feisty girl in her twenty-eighths, and though she had a rebellious nature, she was still timid in the face of so many people’s collective kneeling.
"I know you are somewhat afraid, and even sympathize with them!" Xue An suddenly said.
"But you must not forget, when the wager was made earlier, these people were not looking like this!"
"Right now, I won, so they are pleading for mercy. Just think, if I had lost, what kind of faces would they be making? Have you thought about that?"
Xue An’s words struck Gong Xueman like a bolt of lightning, and her expression gradually calmed down.
Gong Changyue patted the baffled Gong Xueman, "Hurry and thank Mr. Xue for his guidance! His words are indeed pearls of wisdom!"
