Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 652: Chapter 651 They Work for Me

The Ten Great Families had no idea what Su Yang was thinking, but Su Yang was very clear about what was running through the minds of the Ten Great Families.

He smiled faintly and said softly, ”Additionally, I have another matter to deal with.”

Everyone looked towards Su Yang as he turned around, pointing to Lin Zhenshan, Lin Qing, and Niuniu behind him, and spoke loudly, ”Master Lin, Patriarch Cheng, you both should remember them, right?”

Previously, the three from the Lin family had been standing at the back, so Master Lin and Patriarch Cheng didn’t even see them.

Now seeing these three, both Master Lin and Patriarch Cheng’s faces changed. Even among those from the Lin and Cheng families accompanying them, many turned pale, as everyone clearly remembered what had happened before.

And now, Lin Zhenshan and his group were standing together with Su Yang, which was a very ominous sign indeed.

”What? You recognize them or not, say something!” Su Yang demanded.

The two exchanged a look and Master Lin cleared his throat, ”Recognize... we recognize them, but what is their relationship with Master Su?”

”They work for me,” Su Yang said quietly.

As soon as he spoke, the crowd erupted into commotion. Members of the Lin and Cheng families looked towards Lin Zhenshan and his companions with extremely ugly expressions. The others, however, looked at them with envy.

It was known that Master Fang, who used to be nothing more than a street charlatan, became a spokesperson for Su Yang once he started working for him. The heads of great families had to treat him with courtesy when they met him.

The Hou Family hadn’t even qualified to be one of the Pingnan Province Top Ten Families before, but after starting to work for Su Yang, not only did they become a part of the Ten Great Families, but they also won the Dragon Head Meeting in May, becoming the family that sets the rules for both Pingnan and Pingbei Provinces.

It was evident that working for Su Yang was a huge honor.

That Lin Zhenshan and his group could work for Su Yang was an immense privilege!

But members of the Lin and Cheng families were panicked. If these three were working for Su Yang, wouldn’t that mean Su Yang would seek revenge for them?

With Su Yang’s methods just demonstrated, even Lian Qianjun had been brought down by him, and the Lian Family had faced a significant loss at his hands. Su Yang even dared to challenge the entire Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province by himself.

Under such circumstances, if Su Yang were to seek revenge for Lin Zhenshan and his group, what should the Lin and Cheng families do?

Master Lin and Patriarch Cheng both felt like vomiting blood. How could Lin Zhenshan, whom they had hunted with no place to hide, have ended up under Su Yang’s wing?

Master Lin took a deep breath and hastily looked at Lin Zhenshan, ”Zhenshan, it’s good that you’ve come back. Over the years, the family has been trying to find you. You are, after all, a member of the Lin family. Now that you have returned, I’ve decided to give back everything that belongs to your branch, allowing your line to regain its stature within the Lin family!”

Patriarch Cheng was stunned. Master Lin was shameless enough. Noticing the situation turning against him, he immediately played the family card. Did he expect the Cheng family to shoulder all the responsibility?

”Master Su, regarding the past events, our Cheng family had no intention of pursuing the matter further,” Patriarch Cheng also hurriedly said: ”In fact, upon reflection, our Cheng family was also at fault in that incident. Over the years, we’ve been wanting to find an opportunity to apologize to them but hadn’t seen them. Today we finally meet, and our long overdue apology from the Cheng family can finally be given!”

With these words, Patriarch Cheng turned to Lin Zhenshan, sincerely saying, ”Brother Lin, we’re really sorry about what happened before. There were members of the Cheng family who went overboard, and I’ve disciplined them severely. Of course, this can’t make up for the suffering you’ve endured over the years, but our Cheng family will certainly do our utmost to compensate!”

Master Lin and Patriarch Cheng were humbling themselves, being almost ingratiating in their speech to Lin Zhenshan. However, no one at the scene felt it was inappropriate.

Lin Zhenshan had the standing and the right to be addressed in such a manner by Master Lin and Patriarch Cheng, just by being by Su Yang’s side!

Lin Zhenshan’s face flushed red. He had never imagined a day like this.

All these years, his greatest wish was to cure Niuniu and to ensure she lived safely.

His risky return to Pingbei Province was also for the sake of saving Niuniu. He had come back ready to die; as long as Niuniu could be cured, he would be content even in death.

But he hadn’t expected that upon returning this time, such events would unfold.

Not only was Niuniu’s illness cured, but more importantly, he could stand in front of the Lin and Cheng families, listening to Master Lin and Patriarch Cheng speak to him so obligingly, offering him an apology.

He had never even dreamt in his life that such significant figures as Master Lin and Patriarch Cheng would ever apologize to him!

And now, that was exactly what had happened!

Lin Zhenshan watched Su Yang with tear-filled eyes, filled with gratitude. He knew that all of this was thanks to Su Yang. Without Su Yang, no one would have apologized to them. Indeed, it was even questionable whether they would still be alive!

”The belongings of their branch must definitely be returned to them,” Su Yang said with a light smile. ”As for returning to the Lin family, that won’t be necessary.”

Master Lin’s face shifted, but he still quickly said, ”Of course, since Zhenshan will be working for Master Su, he naturally cannot return to the Lin family. Whatever belongs to their branch, we will send to them immediately. However, Zhenshan and his line are still people of the Lin family, and they are among the most important members of our family!”

Everyone present inwardly sighed at Master Lin’s skill in playing politics—it was truly extraordinary.

”Master Lin seems to have misunderstood my meaning...” Su Yang said, ”I don’t want them to return to the Lin family because I am afraid that if they do, they will be betrayed by their own people again. The Cheng family members hadn’t even come looking yet, when Lin family’s own people started attacking them, to curry favor with the Cheng family.”

With that, Su Yang leaned forward slightly, smiling, ”To be honest, Master Lin, is the Lin family really so afraid of the Cheng family? Because you worry about displeasing the Cheng family, you injure your own family members and kiss up to them? Being both among the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province, does the Lin family need to live so abjectly?”

The crowd burst into laughter, but the faces of the Lin family members were a mix of green and red. Being members of the Ten Great Families, they all had their own pride. Publicly accused by Su Yang of fawning over the Cheng family, they naturally felt humiliated.

However, no matter how humiliated they felt internally, they couldn’t deny this matter. When they had injured Lin Zhenshan, they indeed were making overtures to the Cheng family; upsetting the Cheng family over a single Lin Zhenshan seemed unwise.

No one had dared to mention this incident to them before, and over the years they had begun to forget. But now, Su Yang was bringing it up in front of everyone, and they couldn’t escape this shame.
