Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1295: Chapter 1294: Chen Benhong and the Martial Champion’s Incense Affection

Su Yang felt that this matter was rather absurd. Chen Benhao had been targeted from birth, which sounded like complete nonsense.

A child still in the midst of infancy, how could he possibly have made enemies with anyone?

If someone was targeting Chen Benhao’s parents or relatives, then why was his brother from the same parents, Chen Benhong, completely unharmed?

”More precisely, someone had been targeting Chen Benhao from the moment Chen Benhong was born!” Black Widow said calmly.

”What exactly do you mean?” Su Yang widened his eyes. Chen Benhong was three years older than Chen Benhao. When Chen Benhong was just born, Chen Benhao didn’t even exist yet. Who would target him?

Black Widow said, ”Chen Benhao is the younger brother of Chen Benhong, and their grandfather is the Chen Family Head. To a certain extent, both Chen Benhong and Chen Benhao are eligible to become the Chen family heir!”

Su Yang nodded; he had no doubts about this point.

”What if someone doesn’t want Chen Benhao to become the Chen Family Head?” Black Widow spoke softly.

Su Yang was taken aback and then exclaimed, ”Are you suggesting that Chen Benhong is targeting Chen Benhao? How is that possible? Chen Benhong was only three years old at that time!”

”I’m only saying that someone doesn’t want Chen Benhao to become the Chen Family Head. I did not say it was Chen Benhong who didn’t want him to,” Black Widow articulated slowly.

Su Yang was somewhat stunned; he couldn’t think of anyone besides Chen Benhong who would not want Chen Benhao to become the Chen Family Head. After all, the two were brothers and shared all resources equally.

Even if they might become closer or more distant as they grew older, when they had just been born, how could they have established any close or distant relationships with anyone else?

”Let me tell you two more things...” Black Widow spoke softly, ”Chen Benhong actually has some connection with the Martial Champion.”

”What connection?” Su Yang asked in surprise.

”When Chen Benhong was born, he was inherently weak and nearly died,” Black Widow said. ”At that time, the Martial Champion happened to be visiting the Chen Family and personally healed Chen Benhong. Otherwise, Chen Benhong could not have survived. Later, Patriarch Chen wanted Chen Benhong to take the Martial Champion as his master, but the Martial Champion refused.”

Su Yang’s heart raced; even though the Martial Champion refused to take Chen Benhong as a disciple, he still owed him a life-saving debt. There was some kind of bond between Chen Benhong and the Martial Champion.

”The second thing?” Su Yang asked.

”The Taoist who passed by back then was a disciple expelled by the Martial Champion a century ago!” Black Widow spoke lightly.

Su Yang’s expression changed again; both matters were related to the Martial Champion. Could it be that the Martial Champion was manipulating things from behind the scenes?

After pondering for a moment, Su Yang said in a deep voice, ”How do you know all this?”

”What is there not to know?” the Black Widow said. ”The fact that the Martial Champion saved Chen Benhong is well known; Chen Benhong often boasts about it outside. As for that Taoist, though he was a disciple expelled a hundred years ago, don’t forget, I come from the Su Family of Yanbei!”

Su Yang nodded slowly. In the presence of the Su Family of Yanbei, the affairs of the Martial Champion and that expelled disciple probably weren’t any secret.

”So, does the Martial Champion not want Chen Benhao to become the Chen family heir anymore?” Su Yang asked in a deep voice.

The Black Widow did not confirm nor deny, merely smiling lightly: ”Didn’t you just ask me what grudge lies between the Martial Champion and me? Now, I can tell you a bit about it.”

Su Yang waited quietly. The Black Widow sipped a glass of red wine and said softly, ”To put it simply, there is no room for two tigers on one mountain.”

Su Yang did not speak, his eyes showing disbelief. Although the Black Widow was formidable, she was certainly no match for the Martial Champion, so the saying that there is no room for two tigers on one mountain didn’t apply here.

The Black Widow understood what Su Yang was thinking, she wasn’t angry and continued to lightly smile: ”To put it plainly, I want to unify all the major families and powers within Capital City, and he wants to do the same. Therefore, we are rivals!”

Su Yang’s expression changed upon hearing this, as the words were too direct, and it astonished him greatly. The Black Widow dared to say such things so bluntly, wasn’t she afraid of other major families in Capital City finding out?

”More precisely, one-fifth of the families in Capital City have already pledged allegiance to me!” said the Black Widow calmly.

”What!?” Su Yang exclaimed in shock, looking at the Black Widow with disbelief. He had never heard anything like this before. If it weren’t for the Black Widow’s declaration, such a thought wouldn’t have even crossed Su Yang’s mind in his dreams.

But why would the Black Widow reveal such a secret to him? Was she not afraid he would spread this information?

The Black Widow was unfazed by Su Yang’s surprise and continued softly: ”However, one-third of the families in Capital City are already working for the Martial Champion!”

Su Yang was dumbstruck once again, how could he have imagined such a thing?

”What do you two... what exactly are you two trying to do?” Su Yang asked in a severe tone.

”Of course, the goal is to become the sole ruler.” The Black Widow smiled and said, ”Just like the Beigong War God, in the entire Northern Three Provinces, he is the one and only!”

Su Yang stared at the Black Widow for a while, ”The Martial Champion has long been the one and only in Capital City!”

”Hehe...” The Black Widow chuckled coldly, ”He wishes, but this is Capital City. Despite his over two hundred years as the world’s number one, he is still not qualified to control the entire Capital City!”

”If he isn’t qualified, do you think you are?” Su Yang asked directly.

The Black Widow said, ”He took over a hundred years to control one-third of the families in Capital City. I have managed to get one-fifth of the families under my influence in just ten years, what do you think?”

Su Yang looked at the Black Widow for a while and said in a serious tone, ”Because of your Demonic Enchantment Heart Technique?”

The Black Widow’s expression suddenly became stern, and she fixed her gaze on Su Yang for a while before asking in a stern voice, ”You know about the Demonic Enchantment Heart Technique?”

Of course, Su Yang knew about the Demonic Enchantment Heart Technique, as it was mentioned in the Destiny’s Tome.

In fact, when Su Yang first entered the room, the fragrance he smelled stemmed from the Demonic Enchantment Heart Technique. This was a Secret Technique that bewitched people, eventually making them submit to oneself.

The Demonic Enchantment Heart Technique belonged to the realm of mental attacks, and these attacks came from visual, olfactory, auditory, gustatory senses. The scent on the Black Widow, her beauty, her voice, even the wine she poured, all carried the power of the Demonic Enchantment Heart Technique.

Once this power invaded one’s body, it would gradually allow one’s spirit to be controlled by the other party.

When Su Yang had entered the room, he had almost lost his composure, but luckily, Little Turtle stirred, which awakened him in time to evade. Afterwards, hearing the Black Widow’s voice and entering the bathroom to see the Black Widow bathing, all of these were calculated moves by the Black Widow herself.
