Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 190: Apologizing at the Door

Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Apologizing at the Door

Who knows how much time had passed. Once it was certain that Ye Fei had already left, Jiang Yuanzheng slowly climbed up from the ground, looked at the Ma Family engulfed in demon flames, and took a deep breath before saying, "Offend my loved ones, and I’ll burn your entire clan to ashes. I fear many won’t sleep well tonight!"

...

Blazing flames raged for seven full days and nights within the luxurious mansion of the Ma Family!

The grand Ma Family estate was burned down to nothing but a pile of blackened charcoal.

And just as Jiang Yuanzheng had said, this inferno left some sleepless for far more than one night—it was seven days and nights of frantic unrest.

Early morning on the eighth day.

Ye Fei had just finished cleansing his mother’s meridians with nature’s spiritual energy, when Ren Yuan appeared before him.

"Master, the Family Head asks you to come to the main hall!" Ren Yuan respectfully addressed Ye Fei.

"What’s the matter?" Ye Fei asked indifferently.

Ren Yuan immediately replied, "The Wang Family! The Wang Family Patriarch has arrived with their direct lineage to offer reparations!"

"The Wang Family?"

Hearing this, Ye Fei let out a cold laugh.

That day, after annihilating the entire Ma Family, Ye Fei had returned directly to the Ye Family out of concern for his mother’s safety and had stayed by her side ever since.

But that didn’t mean Ye Fei had let the matter rest!

For the Ma Family to have such precise knowledge of every important member of the Ye Family and to plant so many timed bombs unnoticed, it was clear that another force, very familiar with the Ye Family, had been involved!

And the Wang Family, originally intended to merge in a business alliance with the Ye Family, had undoubtedly played a critical role in this!

Ye Fei glanced once more at his mother, who was peacefully asleep, then rose and said, "Stand guard outside the door and ensure my mother’s safety. I’ll go to the main hall to see."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Ren Yuan nodded immediately, striding out with a solemn expression to stand vigil at the door.

Anyone who dared harm Su Lingyun would have to face the sword in his hand.

Only then did Ye Fei step away, reassured...

Ye Family main hall.

Old Master Ye Cheng and Ye Fei’s father Ye Zhigang sat on either side of the high seats at the front, while both sides of the hall were filled with the Ye Family’s direct lineage.

Standing in the center of the hall was the Wang Family Patriarch Wang Yuan, accompanied by Wang Yuting and other Wang Family members.

Except for the Patriarch, the Wang Family members all wore expressions of terror.

They had already received the news: the Ma Family had been obliterated!

The once-grand Ma Family had been completely annihilated, with not a single survivor. Even their luxurious mansion was reduced to blackened charcoal.

This not only shocked the Wang Family over Ye Fei’s decisive ruthlessness and bloody massacres but also filled them with absolute terror!

Just as Ye Fei had suspected.

The Wang Family had indeed played a significant role in the Ye Family bombing incident!

After all, in Binjiang, the dominant Li Family had long ruled unchallenged, with the Ye Family and Wang Family balancing each other’s power in shared dominance.

But ever since Ye Fei soared to prominence at the end of last year, the Ye Family’s rapid ascent had faintly eclipsed even the Li Family.

This was why the Wang Family had reluctantly chosen to merge with the Ye Family in business!

Yet, if the Ye Family were to be destroyed, the Wang Family would rise immediately!

Little did they expect such an outcome today.

The moment Ye Fei, expressionless, entered the hall, many Wang Family members visibly trembled, their legs folding beneath them as they fell to their knees.

But Ye Fei paid no attention to them, speaking coolly instead: "How do you wish to die?"

How to die?

At Ye Fei’s opening question, those in the Wang Family with weaker resolve instantly knelt face-down, quivering uncontrollably, not daring even to lift their heads.

Even the ones with slightly firmer resolve turned deathly pale.

In truth, the Wang Family had received word the day after the Ma Family’s destruction. They had clung to hope.

Hope that someone would punish Ye Fei!

After all, Ye Fei had singlehandedly exterminated the Ma Family!

But to their despair, seven days had passed, and no news of any punishment for Ye Fei had reached their ears.

On the contrary, the site of the Ma Family’s former residence had been completely cleared following the extinguishing of the demon flames, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Thus, the Wang Family Patriarch had come today with his people, knowing full well that if they didn’t, the Wang Family would be the next Ma Family!

Wang Yuting’s expression was complicated as she looked at the man before her—a man she had once dismissed as the discarded son of the Ye Family and her unwanted fiancé!

Yet Ye Fei had risen to prominence, singlehandedly breaking the balance of power in Binjiang and destroying the once-dominant Wu Family she had once held in high regard.

Even so, Wang Yuting had never imagined her family would one day have to beg Ye Fei for mercy.

And now, every member of the Wang Family trembled at the mere utterance of Ye Fei’s words.

Moments passed, perhaps an eternity it seemed.

The Wang Family Patriarch finally sighed and said, "Mr. Ye, I was blinded by greed this time. If you must punish someone, let it be me alone!"

"Punish you?" Ye Fei looked at him and said indifferently.

"Yes!"

The patriarch nodded firmly, shrugging off Wang Yuting’s support with a weary smile. "I am willing to forfeit my life to appease your anger, Mr. Ye. All I ask is that you spare the Wang Family!"

"Grandfather! You mustn’t..."

Wang Yuting immediately attempted to intervene upon hearing this.

But the patriarch snorted coldly, "My mind is made up. This is my duty as patriarch—it’s an order!"

"I don’t care! Grandfather, you can’t die!" Wang Yuting continued to protest but was silenced by her uncles and elders pulling her back, fearful her actions would provoke Ye Fei’s wrath.

With Wang Yuting restrained, the patriarch took another deep breath, his eyes full of regret.

If only he hadn’t been blinded by greed and agreed to partner with the Ma Family—would today’s events have unfolded this way?

And if... if he had allowed Wang Yuting and Ye Fei’s engagement, would the Wang Family now be thriving?

But this world permits no such "ifs."

So, the patriarch could only look to Ye Fei and await his answer.

After a long silence, Ye Fei finally responded: "Someone from the Ma Family said the same thing at the time."

Clang!

The Wang Patriarch’s face turned ashen upon hearing this.

The Ma Family said the same?

What was the result?

The Ma Family was exterminated—no survivors!

Did this mean Ye Fei intended to treat the Wang Family as he had the Ma Family?

The trembling Wang Family members dropped to their knees in unison, bowing ceaselessly before Ye Fei, terrified by every word he might utter.

Ye Fei, unmoved, slowly raised his hand.

"Xiao Fei!"

At this moment, Ye Zhigang spoke!

Though he harbored resentment for the Wang Family’s betrayal, he sighed and said, "Xiao Fei, back then, your mother and I... If not for the Wang Patriarch secretly defying your grandfather to release us from Binjiang, we might never have been together."

"Yes. I was foolish back then. Thankfully, the Wang Family intervened, sparing us further regrets!" The Old Master Ye Cheng also nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Fei..." Ye Zhigang looked toward the Wang Patriarch with a complex expression and called again.

Upon hearing these words, gratitude flickered across the Wang Patriarch’s face, and he once again turned his gaze to Ye Fei.

Still, everyone knew Ye Fei ultimately held the final decision.

After another long moment, Ye Fei finally lowered his raised hand behind his back.

"Hand over everyone involved in this matter. From today onward, the Wang Family will serve as a vassal to the Ye Family." Ye Fei spoke after a lengthy deliberation.

"A vassal to the Ye Family?"
