As Qin Xuan's voice slowly echoed through the dining hall, his body also gradually rose from the grand chair.
And the moment he stood up, an aura like a surging tide erupted from him.
Boom!
In just one exchange, all the Grandmasters standing behind Qin Anbang were directly sent crashing to the ground.
Qin Anbang, who also felt this imposing presence, was now pale with terror, his mouth trembling, unable to utter a word.
"If I heard correctly, you just admitted that you killed my parents, right?"
Ignoring everyone else, Qin Xuan coldly looked at Qin Anbang, who was barely holding onto the table to stay upright.
After Qin Anbang subconsciously nodded, he parted his lips and uttered two words that made everyone's hearts tighten.
"Kneel!"
Thump!
The simple words "Kneel!" seemed to possess an irresistible magic.
Coupled with the fact that Qin Anbang's courage had already been shattered by Qin Xuan's overwhelming aura.
His legs gave out, and he lunged forward.
The entire person, directly in front of all the Qin family members, knelt before Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan waved his right hand, transforming his ring into a sword.
A black longsword with inscriptions instantly floated before him, its tip pointing directly at Qin Anbang, who knelt on the ground!
"Wait!"
"No!"
Seeing Qin Xuan's right hand about to command the Myriad Transformations Divine Artifact to take Qin Anbang's head, two shouts immediately rang out from his side.
One was from Qin Shoujiang, who was extremely anxious about his pale-faced second son.
Despite their previous father-son confrontations, he ultimately chose to rush forward and stop Qin Xuan's "swift and decisive strike."
As for the other shout, it was from Qin Hu.
The moment Qin Xuan's aura surged and forced Qin Anbang to kneel, a deep sense of unease had already arisen in Qin Hu's heart.
Therefore, when Qin Xuan was about to deliver a fatal blow, he reacted second, preceding the most powerful Qin Shoujiang.
He stepped forward, directly positioning himself between the Myriad Transformations Divine Artifact and his father.
Then, he knelt on both knees, taking his father's place, kneeling before Qin Xuan and the black longsword.
Qin Xuan looked coldly at the grandfather and grandson who had come to stop him simultaneously, and for a moment, he felt a surge of anger.
If Qin Hu protecting Qin Anbang could be considered understandable as a son protecting his father.
Then Qin Shoujiang protecting Qin Anbang right in front of him was simply bullying him!
After all, Qin Anbang not only killed Qin Xuan's father, Qin Antai, but also had been secretly poisoning his own elderly father, Qin Shoujiang.
Yet, at this critical moment, Qin Shoujiang still stood up to prevent Qin Xuan from avenging his father.
This left Qin Xuan somewhat bewildered.
Did it mean that the hatred for matricide and poisoning were no longer important to his grandfather?
The lightning-fast changes left all the Qin family members in the dining hall stunned.
Even Qin Wenchang, who had been vying for control of the Qin family with Qin Anbang and Qin Anrong, was the same.
He had felt the aura Qin Xuan had just revealed.
That explosive, surging feeling was far beyond what Qin Shoujiang and the top Grandmasters could unleash.
This meant that Qin Xuan was now a genuine Divine-level expert!
But how was this possible?!
Before he went to the United States, he was just an ordinary Intermediate Grandmaster.
How long had it been since he returned from the United States?
He had gone from an Intermediate Grandmaster to a Divine-level Supreme, a leap of five entire tiers!
Even writing a novel wouldn't dare to portray it like this!
However, the tangible feeling left Qin Wenchang no choice but to believe.
He could only sit there silently, hoping that after the gathering, his mother and cousin could provide him with some assistance.
"Xuan'er, calm down!"
After glancing at Qin Hu, who was also blocking Qin Xuan, Qin Shoujiang breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He hadn't expected Qin Xuan to have cultivated to such a level, nor did he expect this kid to make a move so brazenly in front of the entire family.
However, deep down, he greatly admired Qin Xuan's actions.
Loyal and righteous, decisive and ruthless.
These were the qualities a person destined for great things should possess.
"Alright, Xuan'er, I know you must be blaming Grandpa in your heart right now, but this matter is not as simple as you imagine."
"Many decisions were made out of consideration for special circumstances during special times."
"Put away your sword obediently, and Grandpa will explain it to you later, okay?"
"Hmph!"
Since Qin Shoujiang had said so, Qin Xuan naturally couldn't refuse to give his grandfather face.
However, after this spectacle, he had lost all patience to exchange pleasantries with the other Qin family members.
Putting away the Myriad Transformations Divine Artifact, he took two steps forward, instantly releasing his aura to its maximum.
Boom!
Crack!
The surging aura sent the surrounding tables and chairs crashing to the ground.
His imposing presence made almost all the Qin family members' faces turn pale.
But Qin Xuan no longer cared about their expressions.
He simply held his head high, his cold eyes sweeping over every Qin family member who was staring at him.
"From today onwards, the Qin family of the Imperial Capital will be fully taken over by me, Qin Xuan, as the Qin family patriarch."
"Regardless of who you were under before, or who was in charge of what industry, from today onwards, you will all obey my arrangements without question!"
"If you refuse, don't blame me for using any special means!"
What?
Qin Xuan wasn't asking them to acknowledge his status as the heir, but to fully take over as the Qin family patriarch?!
Hearing Qin Xuan's tyrant-like words, all the Qin family members gasped in unison.
Because based on Qin Shoujiang's previous actions, Qin Xuan could have gradually and legitimately ascended to the position with his grandfather's support.
There was no need for this.
But even so, he had directly bypassed the old patriarch and declared his intention to completely take over the Qin family!
Forbidding any dissent.
Then, what was the difference between his actions now and Qin Anbang's?
Weren't they both usurping power and acting rebelliously?
But at this moment, Qin Xuan had displayed his unparalleled power.
Let alone Qin Shoujiang, the old patriarch, or Qin Anbang, who was powerless, even the entire Qin family combined might not be a match for a single finger of his.
Therefore, while the Qin family instinctively resisted, they couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
After all, for the current Qin family to advance further, the most basic prerequisite was the emergence of someone whose strength surpassed that of the Qin family patriarch.
