Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1215: Chapter 1214: Plastic Brotherhood

The composed elder clearly seemed discontent with Chen Benhong, and after speaking, he promptly led his group away.

In the presence of the composed elder, Chen Benhong’s face had been the epitome of respect and reverence. This composed elder possessed no low standing within the family; almost all of the family’s experts, who had overcome the bottlenecks to becoming The Sovereign, held him in high esteem. Even amongst the Council of Elders, teeming with Terrestrial Immortals, he occupied an exceedingly important position.

Chen Benhong, desiring to be the next Family Head, knew he had to show ample respect to this composed elder.

However, once those people left, Chen Benhong’s expression swiftly changed. His face filled with disdain and defiance, he coldly said, ”Old fossil, truly frightened out of his wits by Ye Jiansheng, always so timid and cautious in his actions. How could one achieve great things like this? What is Pingnan Province? How could it compare with Capital City? Even if you turned Pingnan Province upside down, you’d not find a single person who’s broken through the bottleneck to become The Sovereign. What’s there to fear? As for that Ye Jiansheng, hmph, having joined the rank of Earth Immortals, there’s no need to fear him. At his age, he’s really lived like a dog!”

Beside him, Huang Mingshan nodded vigorously, ”Chen Shao, these old fellows are all the same. The old fossils in my family say the same thing. They tell me to stay put at home and not to go looking for trouble. How could these old things understand that the world has already changed, no longer sticking to their old ways? Young people who lack even a drop of spirit, what are they then? Without striving and fighting, how can one come out on top? Are we expected to live our whole lives in compliance like them, only to be surpassed by others with more courage?”

Chen Benhong looked at Huang Mingshan appreciatively and nodded, ”You’re entirely right. They say that my Chen Family has become the third major family in Capital City only under the protection of the Black Widow. And these old fellows, they want me to take over the family and continue to hold steady as we have.”

”But what they don’t realize is that although the Chen Family has been the third family in Capital City for these years, in reality, countless people have been stabbing us in the back, claiming that my Chen Family rose up relying on a woman, relying on the Su Family of Yanbei.”

”And whatever my Chen Family does, we have to look at that woman’s mood. Who really runs this family, is it us surnamed Chen, or is she surnamed Su calling the shots? If I, Chen Benhong, am to take over the family, then I must change this situation completely. I want everyone to know that matters concerning my Chen Family will be decided by the Chen Family!”

Chen Benhong’s words were filled with passion and fervor, making Huang Mingshan beside him also look extremely agitated and excitedly said, ”Chen Shao, I fully support you. Your words have my blood boiling; this is the true demeanor a great figure should have. Rest assured, from now on, with just one order from you, through fire and sword, I wouldn’t even frown!”

Huang Mingshan was very shrewd; he knew, because of Su Yang’s matter, he was now tied to Chen Benhong. In fact, considering the Huang Family’s status in Capital City, he wasn’t qualified to stand alongside Chen Benhong.

Now that the opportunity had arisen, of course, he would immediately show his loyalty in front of Chen Benhong. Otherwise, once Su Yang was dealt with, he reckoned he’d have no chance to demonstrate his loyalty.

If he could follow Chen Benhong in dealing with Su Yang and gain his trust, then he’d be holding onto powerful coattails in the future. After taking over the Huang Family, with Chen Benhong’s support, the Huang Family might rise high. At that time, he would certainly be the hero of the Huang Family, and who would dare call him an unworthy successor?

”With a brother like you, truly, I am blessed, Chen Benhong!” Chen Benhong said with a moved expression.

”Chen Brother, to be able to work alongside you, that is my true fortune!” Huang Mingshan also quickly replied, and the two didn’t find their words sycophantic, acting as though they had a great relationship.

”You and I, joining hands with united hearts, there’s nothing we can’t achieve!” Chen Benhong said.

”Of course!” Huang Mingshan eagerly nodded.

”However, the urgent task is still to deal with that Su surname!” Chen Benhong said, ”If we don’t sort him out, we’ll both be in trouble. But if we manage to deal with him, then who in Capital City would dare defy us?”

”Exactly!” said Huang Mingshan. ”That Su surname has caused quite a stir in Capital City recently. Now, everyone feels threatened, fearing they would cross this devil. If someone could deal with this Su Yang, that would be a great service, and their influence in Capital City would be indisputable. Chen Brother, I feel this is an opportunity not to be missed!”

”I’m dying to kill him with my own hands, but finding him is really troublesome!” Chen Benhong sighed with a troubled look. ”If someone could head to Pingnan Province, capture a few of that Su surname’s relatives and friends, to lure him out, it would be so much easier!”

Huang Mingshan’s expression subtly changed. The conversation had made it clear—Chen Benhong intended for him to go to Pingnan Province to do this.

It was one thing for Huang Mingshan to brownnose around Chen Benhong, but actually going out and doing this deed, he lacked the courage. Previously, he had suffered a great loss at the hands of Su Yang and was deeply afraid of him.

In his own turf of Capital City, he would follow closely behind Chen Benhong every day for fear of an attack from Su Yang. To leave Capital City was tantamount to asking for his death, wasn’t it?

But, having said this much, Chen Benhong couldn’t pretend to have not heard it.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Mingshan said in a low voice, ”Chen Brother, heading to Pingnan Province isn’t a trivial matter. That Su surname might just be causing a stir in Capital City on purpose, forcing us to leave so that he can ambush us on the outside. If we really go out, wouldn’t we be falling into his trap?”

Chen Benhong’s expression chilled somewhat, having thought that Huang Mingshan had been persuaded after all his talk. It now appeared he was still so cunning; it seemed like niceties wouldn’t work with him.

”What trap, you’re just overthinking it. With so many people in Capital City looking for him, if he dared leave Capital City, no matter what route he took, he would have been spotted by now, and there’s no way he could set up an ambush halfway,” Chen Benhong said.

”You have to consider all possibilities!” Huang Mingshan said quietly. ”Chen Brother, I feel that as long as we look for him in Capital City, he can’t escape. It’s like catching a turtle in a jar; sooner or later, we’ll find him...”

At that moment, Chen Benhong exploded, his voice sinking, ”If that’s the case, then you lead people out to find him.”
