Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 653: Chapter 652: Are You Planning to Have a Showdown with Me?

Master Lin’s complexion became even more uncomfortable. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, ”Master Su, there were many reasons for what happened back then. When the Lin Family made decisions, it wasn’t to flatter anyone, it was just to uphold justice, and the Lin Family won’t live in humiliation!”

”Is that right?” Su Yang replied with a light smile, ”So, Master Lin believes that what the Lin Family did back then was correct?”

Master Lin, stiff necked, said, ”I don’t think the Lin Family did anything wrong. It was his fault in the first place, and punishing him was the right thing to do!”

”Is that right?” Su Yang turned to Patriarch Cheng and said with a faint smile, ”Patriarch Cheng, who do you think was at fault for the incident back then, Lin Zhenshan or the Cheng Family?”

Patriarch Cheng looked embarrassed, and finally sighed, ”For that matter, the Cheng Family acted too harshly. All things considered, it was indeed our fault!”

Su Yang stood up straight and said softly, ”What is going on here? The Cheng Family has a feud with Lin Zhenshan, and they themselves think it was their fault. Yet the Lin Family, who should have been Lin Zhenshan’s biggest support, the Lin Family full of Lin Zhenshan’s relatives, thinks it was Lin Zhenshan’s fault. Not only do they not avenge Lin Zhenshan or defend him, they also punish Lin Zhenshan. What kind of reasoning is this?”

The scene erupted into commotion, and even the heads of the Ten Great Families cast disdainful looks at Master Lin.

Master Lin’s face looked extremely ugly. Patriarch Cheng’s words had essentially driven his family into a dead end. Now, even he had no way to argue.

Su Yang once again asked, ”Master Lin, please explain this matter. How does the Lin Family view this incident, to think that Lin Zhenshan was at fault and to punish him?”

Master Lin clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice, ”Master Su, I don’t want to talk about what happened at that time. Even if our family did wrong, we will naturally apologize to Lin Zhenshan. But after all, this is the Lin Family’s internal affair. Is it not inappropriate for you, Master Su, to meddle in our family matters?”

”I’m sorry, but that’s just how I, Su Yang, operate,” Su Yang said. ”Anything that I find disagreeable, whether it’s your family matters or anything else, I will get involved. How about that?”

Master Lin was stunned. Su Yang spoke so domineeringly, yet they couldn’t do anything to him. The issue with Lian Qianjun had already proved everything!

Taking a deep breath, Master Lin said solemnly, ”Fine, as you said, the Lin Family was wrong in this matter. I will personally apologize to Lin Zhenshan and the Lin Family will make amends. How about that?”

”That won’t be necessary!” Su Yang waved his hand and said, ”I originally did indeed plan to have you apologize to them and let bygones be bygones. But now it seems that over these years, you have shown no signs of remorse, and even at this moment, you are still being unreasonable. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for apologies!”

Master Lin’s face turned cold, as Su Yang’s words clearly indicated that the matter wouldn’t be resolved so simply.

Su Yang took a deep breath and said loudly, ”I believe the current leaders of the Lin Family are utterly rotten. Therefore, I think the Lin Family needs a change of management!”

Master Lin’s complexion changed drastically, and the people of the Lin Family present were also stunned. Was Su Yang planning to change the leadership of the Lin Family?

Just like with the Lian Family before, the people from Lian Qianjun’s branch had stepped down from management.

But that was a decision made by Lian Wanxiong himself. After all, Lian Wanxiong was the Terrestrial Immortal of the Lian Family, and no one in the Lian Family dared to oppose his words.

Now, Su Yang, an outsider, was actually trying to make decisions for the Lin Family—wasn’t this a bit too much?

”What the Lin Family does is for the Lin Family to decide. It’s our own business. We, the Lin Family, will make our own decisions, and there’s no need to bother Master Su!” Master Lin said sternly. ”Master Su, you won at the Dragon Head Meeting in May and now control the rules of Pingnan and Pingbei; I have nothing to say about that. But what you control are only the rules of Pingnan and Pingbei, not the affairs of the Lin Family!”

”What if I insist on getting involved?” Su Yang asked in return.

Master Lin’s face grew colder as he said sharply, ”Although the Lin Family is no match for Master Su, we are not cowards afraid of death. If Master Su insists on going his own way, then the Lin Family will have no choice but to stake our lives in opposition!”

”Is that so?” Su Yang asked with a light smile, his eyes sweeping over those from the Lin Family. ”Are you saying that you’re prepared to fight me hard?”

Everyone felt uneasy, but at this point, they all stood their ground. They are the current managers of the Lin Family, and if they did not stand firm now, and Su Yang truly replaced them, what would be left for them?

Master Lin breathed a sigh of relief, believing that with everyone resisting together, Su Yang would not dare to do anything drastic.

”It seems that you have all made up your minds!” Su Yang sighed, ”Well then, since that is the case, I suppose I will have to issue another killing order!”

No sooner had he spoken than Su Yang approached Master Lin. Before Master Lin could react, Su Yang had already grabbed his neck and lifted him off the ground.

The faces of the Lin Family members changed. They had not expected Su Yang to take action so suddenly. They wondered, is he going to kill the Family Head right here?

Elder Huo’s expression changed from a distance, and he urgently said, ”Master Su, you must not do this!”

”Why not?” Su Yang asked with a small smile, holding Master Lin by the neck and declaring loudly, ”Three years ago, in a mass grave discovered in the West Suburb of the provincial city, seventeen unidentified corpses were found. To this day, the identity of the deceased and the murderer have not been found, and the case remains unresolved.”

Everyone was shocked, as they had certainly heard about this case. But why was Su Yang bringing up this matter all of a sudden?

”I can tell you now that the seventeen bodies were from a family that came from Yangchuan City. Among them was a newlywed couple, and the girl was particularly beautiful. She caught the eye of someone from the Lin Family. After getting drunk, they abducted and violated the girl, leading to that entire family confronting the Lin Family.”

Su Yang turned to Master Lin and said coldly, ”And at that time, it was Master Lin himself who gave the order to kill all seventeen people and conceal their bodies in the West Suburb!”

As these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and everyone was stunned. This atrocity had puzzled everyone, wondering how such a thing could have happened. Who would have thought that it was committed by the Lin Family?

Some of the people from the Lin Family turned pale, as they were involved in the incident back then.

All these years, they thought the affair was behind them. Who could have expected that Su Yang would bring it up again?

”Is this true?” Elder Huo looked angrily at Master Lin.

Master Lin’s face was pale as he gritted his teeth and said, ”This... this is slander! There’s no truth in it. How could my esteemed Lin Family commit such a disgraceful act?”
