Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1357: Chapter 1356 Ghost Shadow

Seeing Chen Yuanchuan standing there dumbfounded, the maidservant next to him angrily said, ”Chen Yuanchuan, can’t you understand what our young master said?”

Chen Yuanchuan felt extremely aggrieved inside; after all, he was a significant figure in Capital City. Yet, in front of Su Ze, he was being ordered around by a mere maidservant.

What sort of thing was this maidservant, and what right did she have to speak to him?

Just because they were by Su Ze’s side, these maidservants acted haughty and dismissive, which made Chen Yuanchuan utterly resentful to the core.

Yet, in the end, he swallowed his pride. No matter how lowly the maidservant’s status, she was still one of Su Ze’s. Despite his reluctance, he dared not show it in front of Su Ze!

”Yes, I will go and inform Su Yang right away!” Chen Yuanchuan suppressed his anger inside, replying in a low voice.

Bowing and exiting the room, Chen Yuanchuan walked all the way to the underground parking lot and got into his car, then finally smashed the seat next to him with a palm. His face contorted grotesquely, he gritted his teeth, his entire body trembling, rage turning his eyes red, almost beast-like.

After a long while, the hideous expression on Chen Yuanchuan’s face slowly faded. He exhaled softly and sternly told the driver who was bowing his head without saying a word, ”To the Shen Family Courtyard!”

”The Shen Family Courtyard?” The driver was startled and said softly, ”My lord, that’s where Su Yang...”

”I know!” Chen Yuanchuan snapped coldly: ”No need to ask, just go!”

The driver dared not ask further, hurriedly driving directly to the Shen Family Courtyard.

Upstairs, Su Ze stood by the window, quietly watching Chen Yuanchuan’s car drive away, a trace of a cold smile crossing his lips. He waved his hand, and the maidservants by his side immediately withdrew.

Chen Yuanchuan took out a small cup from his pocket, opened it, and quietly waited by the side.

Before long, the room suddenly darkened, the lights flickering as if haunted.

Su Ze’s expression remained calm, seemingly accustomed to all this.

As these anomalies occurred, a ghost shadow slowly rose from the small cup, quietly floating in the air.

”I did as you said.” Su Ze sat on the sofa, speaking softly, ”Are you sure Su Yang wasn’t taken by Ge Kaiyang?”

”Certain!” The ghost shadow’s voice was very hoarse.

”What’s next?” Su Ze asked.

”It depends on what Su Yang does.” the ghost shadow responded softly.

”What do you think he will do?” Su Ze asked in return.

”There are three scenarios...” Ghost Shadow said: ”First, confront you head-on, which is what lowly people do. Second, avoid confrontation by finding Chen Benhong or proving that Chen wasn’t captured by him, which is what average people do. Third, turn the tables by using Chen Benhong to threaten you, making you deal with Ge Kaiyang, which is what superior people do!”

Su Ze furrowed his brow: ”Then what kind of person do you think he is?”

”It doesn’t matter what kind of person he is, the key is what you are going to do!” Ghost Shadow said softly.

”What do you mean?” Su Ze asked.

”If you just want to kill a Su Yang, then you don’t need to care about what kind of person he is, you just need to confront him directly.” Ghost Shadow said softly: ”However, if your target is Black Widow, then it’s different.”

A gleam flashed in Su Ze’s eyes: ”How is it different? Isn’t Su Yang just working for Black Widow?”

”Killing a Su Yang is easy, but drawing out Black Widow behind him is the hardest part,” Ghost Shadow spoke softly. ”Black Widow has been in business for so many years, no one knows the extent of her power. To deal with her, you must root out her power completely. Thus, in this matter, we must not be too hasty. In fact, we have to appear weak to them, making them think we are no threat. That way, we can seize the opportunity to strike them decisively!”

”What do you really mean?” Su Ze frowned. ”Stop beating around the bush!”

”Hehe...” Ghost Shadow chuckled: ”After all these years, you’re still so impatient, still so thoughtless!”

Su Ze’s expression changed, and he took out a bell from his body and shook it forcefully.

”Ah!” Ghost Shadow let out a piercing scream, as though suffering immense pain.

Su Ze looked at Ghost Shadow smugly: ”Now, do you understand who is the master and who is the servant?”

Ghost Shadow trembled continuously, crawling on the ground, and it took a long while before he gradually calmed down. His voice became raspier and he said softly: ”Martial Champion has always been ready to act yet never strikes; he intends to use others to eliminate our enemies. This old fox won’t sit by and watch Black Widow swallow the powers of Capital City. So, once Black Widow makes a move, as long as we don’t, he will step in to stop her. For us, it’s an opportunity to watch tigers fight from the mountain, hence there’s no need for us to be hasty before that happens!”

Su Ze thought for a moment and said sternly: ”What did you mean earlier by showing weakness?”

”We can proceed according to Su Yang’s plan...” Ghost Shadow said: ”It’s best for us if he is a superior person because it would be more advantageous for us!”

Su Ze furrowed his brow, clearly puzzled, and Ghost Shadow immediately explained: ”Right now, the actions in Capital City involve Black Widow and Martial Champion, with Lü Donglin and such clearly standing on Black Widow’s side. Ge Kaiyang and others, wanting a share, stir up trouble. Martial Champion intends to use the Jade-Faced Judge to deal with Black Widow, which doesn’t align with our interests. For us, the best scenario would be to eliminate Ge Kaiyang’s people first.”

”So, if Su Yang is a superior person, he will use Chen Benhong to force us to deal with Ge Kaiyang, and we can seize the opportunity to deal with Ge Kaiyang. First, this makes others think we don’t see the situation clearly, making us seem like fools, and they won’t focus on us. Secondly, it also allows us to remove Ge Kaiyang’s group, killing two birds with one stone!”

Su Ze’s face showed disdain: ”What kind of trouble can Ge Kaiyang’s group stir, anyway? I feel that, to deal with Black Widow alone, there’s no need for such fanfare. If you ask me, just go kill her directly and save the trouble!”

”Black Widow’s strength, though not on par with someone like the Jade-Faced Judge, is definitely above people like Xue Nu. Considering this caliber, even the Su Family of Yanbei doesn’t have many who can match her,” Ghost Shadow said softly. ”Moreover, you don’t know how many people or how much power she has around her. A battle against the unknown is the most dangerous!”

”Humph, need it be so troublesome to kill her?” Su Ze sneered: ”Don’t forget, we’ve got her own brother in our hands. When the time comes, just threaten her with her brother, making her commit suicide is no problem at all!”
