Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 436: Chapter 435 He is Your Brother

Everyone conceded defeat, and in the end, Su Yang, representing the Hou Family, emerged victorious.

The Hou Family was ecstatic over this triumph. With this victory, their status would further ascend. Although still incapable of shaking the likes of the super clans such as the Ye Family, Shangguan Family, Lian Family, and Huo Family, their position among the Ten Great Families would quickly rise.

Moreover, the most crucial aspect was that from now on, the Hou Family would set the rules for the underground forces across the two provinces. They would also be the ones establishing rules to resolve conflicts between the families within the provinces, and this was the most important matter.

After all, even the once-powerful Ye Family and Lian Family had never had the strength to set these rules!

Now, the Hou Family had been given this chance. Before the next Dragon Head Meeting in May, the Hou Family would rise swiftly because of this opportunity!

And all of this was brought to the Hou Family by Su Yang.

Hou Shilin’s eyes were moist. Although he took over most of the Hou Family’s affairs because of Su Yang, in truth, many within the family were not fully convinced of his leadership.

After all, his father did not hold a high position within the Family, and he himself had previously achieved nothing to command respect.

Bearing this in mind, Hou Shilin had always secretly vowed to create something of his own, to prove himself to everyone in the Family.

However, after the news of Su Yang abducting Ye Wantong spread, the three great families joined forces against the Hou Family, pushing them into a dire situation, and his leadership was questioned even more. Some even started voicing that the Hou Family should simply give up on Su Yang and Hou Shilin to preserve the Family.

Ultimately, Hou Xiangde still stood firm against the opposition, allowing Hou Shilin to continue to manage the Hou Family, continuing to support Su Yang. However, this made many within the Family even more dissatisfied with Hou Shilin.

It was under such rejection and doubt that Hou Shilin attended this May’s Dragon Head Meeting. Moreover, many from the Hou Family acted against him in secret, leading to the failure of many powerful experts they had invited to arrive promptly, almost causing the Hou Family to miss the preliminary contests.

After entering the competition, Hou Shilin himself was extremely uneasy, without a shred of confidence. If the Hou Family were to be the first to be eliminated, he wouldn’t be able to face the consequences upon return.

Yet, at the most critical moment, Su Yang appeared. Not only did he save the Hou Family, but most importantly, he won such glory for them.

The ultimate victor, the rule-setter. Such an outcome was unquestionably more meritorious than anything Hou Shilin could have achieved. After this event, Hou Shilin could finally prove himself to everyone in the Hou Family, affirming that his choice was not mistaken!

Watching Su Yang step down from the ring, Hou Shilin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said sincerely, ”Brother Su, thank you!”

”It’s between brothers, no need for such words!” Su Yang patted his shoulder and said softly, ”I won’t be attending the upcoming meeting, you take care of it.”

”Me... Can I do it?” Hou Shilin was still somewhat worried.

”What’s there you can’t do?” said Su Yang. ”If you have any demands, just state them. If anyone objects, let them come to the ring and fight me!”

”Haha...” Unable to help it, Hou Shilin laughed, but his heart felt even warmer. Su Yang’s words were, in essence, supporting him to the very end!

Taking a deep breath, Hou Shilin said, ”All right, I definitely won’t let you down!”

Straightening his clothes, Hou Shilin stood up and walked into the conference room behind.

Sitting in the conference room were the Family Heads of various great families, where those under sixty were a rare sight.

Hou Shilin, just over twenty, had become the presider of the meeting. Moreover, everyone had to listen to him!

Su Yang took Lin Dong to an inner room, as he still didn’t dare to allow him to wake up because he truly didn’t know if Lin Dong could bear such a blow.

Ye Wantong had already heard from Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng about the incident below, and she was crying even more with her eyes red and swollen. These past few days at Lin Dong’s home, she had grown quite fond of those little puppies. Now, Da Huang and all those little pups were burned alive, which she found incredibly hard to accept.

Ye Jiansheng followed beside Ye Wantong, he too had listened to her recounting of the past few days, and he too was full of emotion.

Upon seeing Su Yang, he opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

After more than an hour, Old Zhang Fifth Brother hurried over and respectfully said, ”Master Su, I have brought the people.”

”Bring them in!” Su Yang commanded coldly.

”Yes!” Old Zhang Fifth Brother waved his hand, and immediately a few people walked in behind him.

One of them, dressed extremely provocatively, was none other than Lin Ting. Accompanying her was her little white face boyfriend, as well as several other riffraff who were in good terms with the little white face.

These people no longer exhibited their former arrogance and domineering attitudes; now, they were all scared as quails.

In fact, when Old Zhang Fifth Brother found them, they were still very arrogant. After he chopped up one of the youngsters, who had drawn a knife, to pieces alive, these people were tamed.

And once they heard of Old Zhang Fifth Brother’s reputation, they completely fell apart, with two of them even wetting themselves from fear.

Old Zhang Fifth Brother was an idol to all the local hoodlums, a godlike figure to them!

Yet now, this figure whom they revered as an idol, as an immortal, was standing before Su Yang, bending at the waist in utter deference. His respectful attitude was so intense, he was practically kneeling.

What was most crucial was that the man sitting there, Su Yang, was someone they had seen before. The last time they went to Lin Dong’s house to find Lin Ting, they had seen Su Yang and even ranted about wanting to kill him.

Now witnessing this scene, they were all dumbfounded, having no clue what was happening.

Su Yang looked at Lin Ting standing in the back, her clothing in disarray. According to Old Zhang Fifth Brother, this woman and her little white face boyfriend were grabbed straight from bed. That is to say, while her brother and grandma were devoured by the flames, she was still fooling around with her boyfriend.

A chilling light flashed in Su Yang’s eyes. He took a deep breath to compose himself and said coldly, ”Lin Ting, come here and look at this person.”

Lin Ting’s complexion was panic-stricken, clinging to her boyfriend’s arm, too afraid to move forward.

Anger surged in Su Yang’s heart. Your brother has come to this, your grandma has been burned to death, and you’re still standing behind your boyfriend?

”Keep holding onto his arm, and I’ll chop it off!” Su Yang bellowed angrily.

Lin Ting shuddered in fear, and her boyfriend reacted even more strongly, promptly shoving her hand away.

”Stop holding on, stop holding on...” the little white face pleaded urgently, ”You... you want to get me killed...”

Lin Ting was at a loss, feeling utterly helpless, and said with a trembling voice, ”Big brother, I... I don’t know him...”

”Don’t know?” Su Yang said coldly. ”You don’t even recognize your own brother?”

”Huh?” Lin Ting was stunned and said in astonishment, ”What... what own brother...”

”He is your brother, Lin Dong!” Ye Wantong couldn’t help but shout out as well.
