Supreme Warrior in the City

As he spoke, the scene erupted into chaos, and everyone exclaimed in shock.

The heads of the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province, what sort of people were they?

Put it this way, even if you were a first-class prodigal son like Wu Shao, Sun Shao, or Li Shao, you wouldn’t have the privilege of meeting each Family Head.

Even the likes of Wu Shao, up to now, have only met half the Family Heads at most. Being able to pay respects to any one of the Family Heads was already an honor for them.

And now, Su Yang sat here, and with a single statement, he demanded the presence of all the Family Heads of the Ten Great Families.

In Pingbei Province, who had the authority to summon and give orders to the heads of the Ten Great Families like this?

Even the head of the paramount Lian Family in Pingbei Province didn’t have this kind of sway.

Yet now, Su Yang, with a single sentence, was about to summon all the Family Heads—was he out of his mind?

”Who the fuck do you think you are? You want the heads of the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province to come over? Does that include my grandfather too?” Wu Shao was the first to curse angrily.

”Is the head of my Sun Family also supposed to come?” Sun Shao said sarcastically.

”And what about my Li Family?” Li Shao also sneered, looking at Su Yang as if he were mentally challenged.

Everyone on the scene was laughing uproariously, including Zhou Jun, who was doubled over with laughter.

”Hey, Mister Su, you really think highly of yourself, huh? You expect the heads of the Ten Great Families to come over just like that? Who do you think you are? An Immortal? With just one word, they all have to come and see you? Seriously, I’ve seen braggarts, but never one as boastful as you!”

Fang Jun laughed even more unabashedly, saying to Old Lin, ”Hey, Old Lin, is this your comrade-in-arms? His brain is even more lacking than yours, are you from the same unit? What, a unit specially for training idiots? Don’t get me wrong, in terms of being an idiot, your comrade here is much more of one than you are!”

Fang Jing had a disdainful smile on her face and said coldly, ”Old Lin, do you know why I despise you? It’s because of the company you keep. Your circle of friends is full of these arrogant fools who love to boast. How far do you think you can go in an environment like that? I don’t discriminate against you for being handicapped, but your self-destruction is your own fault. After all, one must rely on oneself. Hanging out with people like this, no matter how impressive the talk, aren’t you still like the mud under your feet, with no hope of rising?”

Fang Jing’s words were even tinged with a preaching tone as if putting herself on a moral high ground, but the mockery in her speech was also very clear.

The only ones not laughing were Lin Feng and Cheng Bingyan, because they were the only two who knew Su Yang’s true identity.

Just then, laughter suddenly came from the doorway, ”What’s so funny?”

Everyone turned to look and saw a handsome young man standing at the entrance. The youth was alone, not dressed in branded attire, but undeniably proper, exuding a comfortable vibe.

Seeing this young man, many in the room were stunned, for not many recognized him.

However, Wu Shao, Sun Shao, and others immediately got up and rushed over, exclaiming, ”Young Master Lian!?”

At these words, the crowd instantly became electrified—was this actually Young Master Lian?

Who was Young Master Lian?

He was the heir of the Lian Family, the number one family among the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province, the absolute elite of his generation, always groomed to be the Patriarch Lian.

In the circles of the young and rich in Pingbei Province, people like Lin Feng and Cheng Bingyan were still somewhat lacking in front of Young Master Lian.

Young Master Lian was someone who could speak on equal terms with the heads of the other Top Ten Families.

It could be said that Young Master Lian was no longer part of the prodigal circle; he had stepped out of the shadow of his forefathers, capable of handling significant matters on his own.

Ling Laoqi had almost invited all the socialites of Pingbei Province here, yet he could never secure an invite for Young Master Lian.

Other socialites could be wooed with money by Ling Laoqi, but not Young Master Lian—he was someone Ling Laoqi wouldn’t even dare to talk about money with.

Even someone as arrogant as Ling Laoqi felt intimidated at the thought of someone of Young Master Lian’s stature and didn’t dare to dream of making his acquaintance.

Now that Young Master Lian was here, how could the scene not be excited?

All the attendees almost simultaneously rushed over to him; Ling Laoqi was no exception, speeding over with large strides.

Fang Jun didn’t dare to approach, but the expression on his face grew smug, ”Young Master Lian has come too. My brother-in-law’s gathering really is getting more high-end. Hey, do you know who Young Master Lian is? Hmph, looking at your faces, I reckon none of you do. Young Master Lian, that’s a real big shot, way beyond all that you can even imagine!”

Old Lin cast a sidelong glance at Fang Jun and said in a low voice, ”So what if he’s a big shot? What does that have to do with you?”

”How can it have nothing to do with me?” Fang Jun immediately replied, ”He’s attending my brother-in-law’s reception, so he’s a friend of my brother-in-law. And my brother-in-law’s friends are my friends. Don’t you know, in society, having more friends opens more paths, especially a friend like Young Master Lian—that’s akin to having a highway to heaven. What do you know? Talking to you about this is like playing the lute to a cow; you’ll never understand the importance of connections in your lifetime!”

”Really?” Su Yang smiled faintly, ”Then tell me, of all the connections present today, which one can save your life?”

Fang Jun was taken aback, ”What do you mean?”

”I mean, if I wanted to kill you, do you think Young Master Lian could save your life?” Su Yang said with a smile.

Fang Jun’s face turned ghastly pale, and he pointed at Su Yang, shouting angrily, ”You’re pretty bold with your words. To dare say such a thing in front of Young Master Lian, you better not regret it when I tell him!”

”Make sure you do tell him, otherwise, what I said would be in vain, right?” Su Yang replied with a smile.

Enraged, Fang Jun’s face turned ashen as he rushed to tell his sister Fang Jing about the incident.

Meanwhile, Young Master Lian had made his way through the crowd. Seeing Lin Feng and Cheng Bingyan bending over in front of Su Yang, he couldn’t help but be surprised, ”Madman, Ice Swallow, you two are here too?”

Everyone looked on with envy as, aside from Young Master Lian, very few dared to address Lin Feng and Cheng Bingyan so casually.

Lin Feng and Cheng Bingyan awkwardly smiled. At this moment, Wu Shao seemed to seize the opportunity and said loudly, ”Young Master Lian, do you know who that person opposite them is? He’s got quite the audacity. Just now he was clamoring for the heads of our Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province to come here to see him!”

The crowd burst into laughter again, and Young Master Lian frowned slightly, looking at Su Yang and said with a smile, ”This friend here looks quite unfamiliar. Do you have any connection with my Lian Family? My grandfather happens to be near Ziyun Pavilion, discussing matters with Elder Huo. How about I invite them over for a visit?”
