The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 722: Chapter 723: Purgatory Riot

After many years, the relationship once again moved Su Changfeng to tears, and he said, “Luckily, I stole a lot of pocket money from Grandpa before, otherwise I would have probably starved to death.”

During the days when Su Changfeng was just being ostracized by the Ye Family, life was particularly tough for him. He didn’t even have the right to sit at the table, and the servants at home would often eat the meals originally meant for Su Changfeng. Hunger was a common occurrence for Su Changfeng at that time, but luckily, he had some money at hand to help him get through those days.

Ye Qingtian patted Su Changfeng on the shoulder and said, “That small treasury of Grandpa’s was almost emptied by you.”

Su Changfeng was taken aback. He had always thought that Ye Qingtian was completely unaware of this, but now hearing him say this, it seemed he had known about it for a long time.

“Grandpa, did you know I took your money?” Su Changfeng asked in surprise.

“I noticed the money I hid was decreasing. Did you think I wouldn’t know anything?” Ye Qingtian smiled.

“Why… why didn’t you put it somewhere else, considering you’ve been guiding for so long?” Su Changfeng looked at Ye Qingtian, puzzled.

“I was worried you wouldn’t be able to find it if I changed the place,” Ye Qingtian said.

Su Changfeng froze again, then hugged Ye Qingtian tightly.

Except for that one time in the heavy rain, Su Changfeng cried like a child. It was the first time in over 20 years that he cried so openly.

In front of Ye Qingtian, Su Changfeng revealed his most vulnerable side, because only in front of Ye Qingtian did he feel a family-like affection, a feeling that even his parents never gave him.

“Alright, you’re already so big now, it’s embarrassing to cry like this. Don’t make Grandpa embarrassed with you.” Ye Qingtian said, rubbing his slightly aching nose.

Su Changfeng quickly wiped his tears and said, “Grandpa, I wasn’t crying just now.”

Ye Qingtian nodded and smiled, “Mm, some sand got into your eyes, I know.”

“Where is this place?” Ye Qingtian asked Su Changfeng in confusion, looking at the surroundings since he stayed in Zone A after entering Purgatory and was unfamiliar with Zone B.

Ye Qingtian’s words reminded Su Changfeng, making him realize that the two of them were still on the cage arena stage.

But Su Changfeng couldn’t figure out why Purgatory brought his grandfather onto the stage. Could it be that after what happened with Dao Jiu, Purgatory still didn’t understand that this method wasn’t effective on him?

Su Changfeng wouldn’t lay a hand on Dao Jiu, let alone his grandfather, Ye Qingtian.

There was no sound from the loudspeaker, and the person giving orders seemed to have merely brought Ye Qingtian to Su Changfeng’s side, making Su Changfeng even more confused.

“Huh.” Su Changfeng was shocked because he saw something unusual.

In previous tournaments, Purgatory would have a lot of staff watching from outside the arena. However, this time there wasn’t a single person; it was as if the people from Purgatory vanished into thin air.

Since seeing Ye Qingtian, Su Changfeng’s entire focus was on him and he didn’t pay attention to the surroundings.

Did the people from Purgatory not show up from the beginning, or did they quietly withdraw at some specific time?

Either way, the situation this time is unusual.

“Dao Jiu, can you see any people from Purgatory?” Su Changfeng asked Dao Jiu.

Dao Jiu looked around with surprise and exchanged a glance with Pangolin. It was obvious they had just realized the situation and were particularly shocked by it.

“No one, not even a shadow.” Dao Jiu said to Su Changfeng.

Subconsciously, Su Changfeng protected Ye Qingtian; this unusual situation made Su Changfeng feel particularly uneasy.

The calm before a storm was enough, but now with an even stranger calm, something abnormal was definitely happening.

“You two pay more attention to the surroundings.” Su Changfeng advised Dao Jiu and Pangolin.

On hearing this, Dao Jiu and Pangolin stood back to back, ready to deal with any sudden situations.

“Dao Jiu, quickly check out those prisoners. Some of them seem off.” Pangolin reminded Dao Jiu.

“Those prisoners’ eyes have turned red, as if they’ve been stimulated by something.” Dao Jiu said.

Pangolin felt uneasy and hurriedly said, “These people look as if injected with a certain hormone, on the verge of losing their sanity. If a riot breaks out in Purgatory, it could be serious.”

Dao Jiu’s expression became stern. If the situation was indeed as Pangolin described, then they were facing a particularly tricky situation.

“Brother Changfeng, first take the old man to a safe place; these guys are acting weird and will probably go berserk.” Dao Jiu shouted to Su Changfeng.

Even though Su Changfeng didn’t understand what was happening, he also noticed the prisoners behaving oddly. In such a chaotic situation, he would have a hard time protecting Ye Qingtian.

“You two be careful.” After saying this, Su Changfeng pulled Ye Qingtian off the stage.

Those prisoners who fell into madness started attacking each other shortly after Su Changfeng ran off. Some prisoners who hadn’t realized what was happening were quickly killed without understanding the situation.

Though the red-eyed prisoners seemed insane, they only attacked those who appeared normal. Before long, Dao Jiu and Pangolin were surrounded by other prisoners.

Given their skills, especially Pangolin’s, it was challenging to handle these prisoners in a frenzy.

By the time the sirens went off inside Purgatory, the mysterious Zone A cells had their doors instantly opened. Prisoners who had been held for at least ten years now rushed out like they were regaining freedom, and they all had the common trait of blood-red eyes!

Purgatory seemed on the brink of a ferocious battle, and if Su Changfeng wanted to resolve the current crisis, he had only one option: kill all the prisoners in Purgatory.

“This play will undoubtedly destroy the hundred-year efforts of my Shangguan Family, but it’s worth it.”

Jiangcheng City First People’s Hospital.

Outside the delivery room and along the hospital corridors, they were crowded with people, so packed there was no space left.
