The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”What are you doing here?” Situ Yuan’s voice turned cold as soon as he saw Situ Feng had also arrived.

”Grandfather, if possible, I can help collect your body.” Situ Feng bowed deeply, his demeanor exceptionally respectful, though his words were far from it.

The reason he dared to be so audacious in front of Situ Yuan was not because Situ Feng had so much faith in Su Changfeng’s abilities, but rather that after today, if Situ Yuan was still alive, he would be thoroughly worthless, a discarded pawn of no use.

Compared to that outcome, Situ Feng preferred to seize the moment and show his strong side at the last moment. If he didn’t grasp this opportunity, he might never have another chance in his lifetime.

”What, are you hoping for my death?” Situ Yuan asked unexpectedly, looking at Situ Feng.

”Grandfather came to Xinluo City initially to help me obtain the Fate Fruit, but after truly getting it, you intended to keep it for yourself. Now at this stage, I naturally hope you die; otherwise, how could I ascend to the position of Family Head?” Situ Feng said.

”Hahaha...” Situ Yuan laughed heartily and said, ”Not disappointing for a bloodline of the Situ Family, indeed you have some courage. Unfortunately, you are bound to be disappointed.”

”Then I’ll trouble Mr. Su to do his best. If I successfully ascend to the position of Patriarch of the Situ Family, the family will surely follow Mr. Su from then on.” Situ Feng turned around and cupped his hands respectfully towards Su Changfeng.

You Meng, sitting on the wall, couldn’t help but nod in appreciation of Situ Feng, a young man with courage.

Su Changfeng was the same. Situ Feng not seeking a retreat did indeed change some of his opinions about him. After all, not everyone would have such courage.

At least compared to the timid and cowardly Wang Junyi, Situ Feng’s performance was much better. Only such people would achieve great success in the future.

However, it’s regrettable that such people always leave others uneasy. Even if he became a puppet, it’s impossible for him to gain Su Changfeng’s trust, since ambitious people are often the most difficult to control.

”Then Senior, shall we begin?” Su Changfeng said to the Ninth Rank Expert.

If it were before, dealing with just one Su Changfeng, he would have no concerns at all, but now, for some reason, a faint unease had arisen in his heart.

What kind of person could make You Meng personally come to watch? After all, if his power completely outmatched Su Changfeng, this battle certainly wouldn’t have piqued You Meng’s interest.

Since she personally came, it was enough to prove that Su Changfeng’s abilities weren’t as simple as they imagined.

Realizing this, he suddenly felt a sense of despair. He knew all too well what it meant for a strength that even he couldn’t see through.

”I’ll give you one last chance. Where did you get the Fate Fruit from? Tell me honestly, and I might consider sparing you,” Situ Yuan said coldly, looking at Su Changfeng.

This time, his main goal was to obtain more Fate Fruits. Whether Su Changfeng lived or died didn’t concern him at all. So, compared to Su Changfeng’s life, he was more interested in finding out where to obtain more Fate Fruits.

”With the Family Head of the Situ Family’s ways, even if I told you, you wouldn’t let me go, would you?” Su Changfeng asked with a smile.

Situ Yuan had always been high and mighty, arrogant and unrestrained. Given his prior defiance, how could he let him go?

Of course, he wasn’t concerned about a Ninth Rank Expert. What bothered him was You Meng’s unexpected appearance, which felt odd to him.

As he revealed more and more, You Meng would know him better, but his understanding of You Meng was far too little by comparison.

”Given that understanding, you do have some wits. I can promise you, if your answer satisfies me, I might decide to spare you. At the very least, I could give you a swift end without excessive pain,” Situ Yuan said.

Su Changfeng curled his lips and said, ”Since I’m going to die sooner or later, why should I tell you? Besides, the origin of the Fate Fruit is in a place more dangerous than the Sourceless Forest. Do you have the guts to go there?”

”I say, are you guys going to fight or not? Can you stop wasting time already?” You Meng, sitting on the wall, said with a pout. She wasn’t impatient but merely too curious about Su Changfeng’s true abilities, feeling helpless watching them waste time like this.

”Little girl, what business is it of yours between us? If you dare utter nonsense again, do you believe I’ll kill you first?” Situ Yuan looked coldly at You Meng, his face full of arrogance.

The Ninth Rank Expert beside him heard his words, his face turning paler by the second.

After all, she was You Meng. Even the Emperor wouldn’t dare speak to her this way. Was Situ Yuan tired of living to dare provoke her repeatedly?

You Meng sneered coldly, this old guy was too arrogant. If she wasn’t interested in watching the commotion, would she waste time here?

Seeing You Meng remain silent, Situ Yuan turned again to Su Changfeng and said, ”The opportunity is right in front of you, decide if you want to take it.”

”Sigh.” Su Changfeng couldn’t help but sigh. Things had reached this point, and it wasn’t something he could stop. Even if it meant exposing his abilities to You Meng, he had to act, as the opponent was a Ninth Grade Expert too, he couldn’t just sit and wait for death.

Situ Yuan initially thought Su Changfeng would finally yield to him. Just as his lips began to curl, he heard Su Changfeng say, ”If that’s the case, then I won’t hold back any longer.”

”Presumptuous!” Upon hearing this, Situ Yuan’s demeanor instantly changed, his face uncontrollably twisted as he said to the Ninth Rank Expert, ”Keep him alive; I have to torture him carefully and find out the growth location of the Fate Fruit from his mouth.”

The Ninth Rank Expert naturally didn’t want to act, especially with You Meng present, he felt a wary concern towards Su Changfeng. But at this stage, it was beyond his control.

”Little brother, forgive me then.” The Ninth Rank Expert looked at Su Changfeng and said.

Clashes between experts would naturally be earthshattering. If they were to fight inside the city, innocents might get hurt, which Su Changfeng naturally didn’t want to see.

”Then I’ll have to trouble Senior to join me outside the city for a proper duel.” After saying this, Su Changfeng’s figure vanished in an instant.

In no time, the Ninth Rank Expert arrived in the deserted outskirts of the city.

”Such a hassle.” You Meng muttered softly and then disappeared without anyone noticing.

Seeing this, Situ Yuan and others quickly headed in the direction outside the city.
