The family head's meaning was very simple. Si Yuming's grandfather was a fifth-level alchemist, but he had his own connections to a fifth-level alchemist as well.

Although this fifth-level alchemist was not a member of their family, their family had a good business relationship with the other party's family. If they were really in trouble, they could easily ask for help.

All they had to do was pull a few strings and promise some benefits, and the situation would swing in their favor.

"So, Si Yuming, do you really want to start a war with us?"

"If you really want to start a war, then go ahead. It's just a matter of money and connections, and our family lacks neither."

Si Yuming was already extremely angry.

Then, just as she was about to berate the family head, Yuchi lost interest. It seemed that the Alchemist Valley was no different from the human city.

However, the human race should be much better off now after dealing with the Department of Inspection.

Since that was the case...

Perhaps he should also help the Alchemist Valley move in the right direction. Otherwise, this kind of wrangling would really be an endless waste of his time.

Si Yuming saw the arrogant family head suddenly kneel on the ground and hit his head against the ground.

He kowtowed with his head like it was pounding garlic.

Of course, all of this was controlled by Yuchi from behind the scenes.

What was with this situation?

It had happened so suddenly!

The family head did not know what was happening to his body. He had no control over his body, and it was like he was possessed.

His soul had obviously become a bystander in this situation, watching his body's own inexplicable actions. This made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart. It was as if his life no longer belonged to him.

The others were even more shocked by this situation, especially the advisor who had said those words to Yuchi. He had been already making preparations to continue with the next part of his act to make Yuchi yield. It was obvious that all of this was very practiced for him.

However, something unexpected had happened. Why had their dignified family head suddenly knelt in front of this lady and kowtowed repeatedly and furiously?

The family members were shocked, and the police officers were too. The police station had a very good relationship with this family, and often took a share of the profits from such ventures that framed and targeted commoners.

Therefore, seeing their pillar kneeling down like this shocked them immensely. If their backer was apologizing, then what would happen to them?

Their scalps instantly turned numb, and their backs broke out in cold sweat as they trembled.

No one knew what was going on, including Si Yuming.

Why did he start to kowtow to me after saying all that? What was the meaning of this?

Could it be that the other party had already realized that he had made a mistake?

Or was he afraid of my identity?

That could not be. The family head had just bragged about his connections, which meant that he knew another fifth-level alchemist.

Then, what was he doing?

Even the ground shook slightly when his head hit the ground, and there was blood on the floor.

As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became very strange. No one said a word and just looked at this person who kept kowtowing.

The skin on his skull had been completely shattered. When he kowtowed, it was like a blood-stained mop was constantly being smashed on the ground. The sound of it all made everyone feel nauseated.

Then, the family head's voice was heard. It was filled with fear. This fear came from the bottom of his heart, and everyone present could hear the words he said.

"I'm sorry!"

He kept kowtowing and apologizing at the same time.

When the people at the scene saw this, they all stood dumbfounded on the spot.

No way?

Fear had already spread through the family head's soul. Of course, this apology was not directed at Si Yuming. It was clearly directed at the god or person that was controlling his body.

"I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry!"

"I'm really sorry! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"

"I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to say such words again!"

"I'm sorry!"

"It's my fault. I won't do it again!"

"Please give me a chance. I will definitely be a good person in the future."

Si Yuming was also in a daze and covered her mouth with one hand. When she finally came back to her senses...

"You should stand up first," she said.
