Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1358: Chapter 1357: Superior People

”Her brother cannot die...” Ghost Shadow whispered: ”Ye Jiansheng, Lian Wanxiong, Huo Yuanzhen, Thousand Snow Palace, these people are not to be trifled with. All these years, they haven’t made a move precisely because her brother has been kept as a hostage by the Su Family of Yanbei. If her brother dies, these people will become unrestrained, and should they all attack the Su Family of Yanbei, how many losses would the Su Family suffer?”

”Our Su Family of Yanbei is so powerful, are we supposed to be afraid of them?” Su Ze said loudly.

Ghost Shadow: ”Of course we’re not afraid, but the key point is, injuring the enemy by one thousand and self-injuring by eight hundred. If the Su Family of Yanbei goes through something like this again, to what extent would its status drop among the Superlunary Family Sects?”

Without speaking further, Su Ze closed his mouth. He was confident that he would become the next Family Head of the Su Family of Yanbei. Therefore, he truly did not wish to see the status of the Su Family in Yanbei decline too much. Preserving strength is something a Family Head, or rather, the next Family Head, should consider!

...

Su Yang had already received news that Su Ze had arrived in the Capital City. However, Su Ze did not come directly to find him, which somewhat surprised him. From this alone, it seemed that Su Ze might not be a complete fool without brains.

At this moment, Zhao Hu Zi came running to report, saying that Chen Yuanchuan was requesting an audience.

Su Yang was surprised. He had received information that it was Chen Yuanchuan who went to meet Su Ze. Now, Chen Yuanchuan came to see him, which made the matter somewhat strange. What exactly was Su Ze plotting with his actions?

After pondering for a moment, Su Yang waved his hand and said, ”Let him in!”

Zhao Hu Zi went out, and not long after, Chen Yuanchuan with a gloomy face walked in.

Chen Yuanchuan’s face was clouded over, and when he saw Su Yang, the hatred in his eyes intensified.

He was once an influential figure who commanded respect in the Capital City, but because of Su Yang, he fell from Paradise to the dust. Not only that, his whole lineage suffered the same fate because of Su Yang—how could he not harbor hatred towards Su Yang in his heart?

Su Yang, on the other hand, was calm as usual. He glanced at Chen Yuanchuan: ”What message did Su Ze send you with?”

Chen Yuanchuan was startled. He hadn’t even spoken yet and Su Yang had already guessed his intention?

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuanchuan coldly repeated Su Ze’s words. Of course, he added oil and vinegar to his recounting, and the tone carried insult, clearly trying to provoke Su Yang on purpose.

After hearing this, Su Yang did not get angry but just laughed: ”Go back and tell him that I would indeed like to see what it looks like when he acts in person. I give him until tonight to come see me, otherwise, let him wait to collect Chen Benhong’s dead body!”

Chen Yuanchuan’s face changed. When Su Ze said those words, he did not believe that Chen Benhong was really in Su Yang’s hands. But now, hearing Su Yang say this, he panicked—was Chen Benhong really in Su Yang’s hands?

At this moment, Chen Yuanchuan felt a certain contempt for Su Ze. Before, Su Ze seemed as if he knew everything, but who was the real fool if not himself? He did not truly understand Su Yang, so on what grounds could he claim that it was not Su Yang who had taken Chen Benhong!

”Su Yang, our Chen Family has already paid the price for the past events. Hong’er has been reflecting at home all this time without stepping out. You... what more do you want to do to him?” Chen Yuanchuan asked anxiously.

Su Yang didn’t even bother to look at him, and said coldly, ”I have nothing to say to you, just convey my message to Su Ze!”

”That’s my son, why won’t you speak to me!” Chen Yuanchuan said urgently.

Su Yang couldn’t be bothered to pay him any attention and waved his hand dismissively, after which Zhao Hu Zi and several others rushed up, without further ado, they hoisted Chen Yuanchuan up and carried him out.

Chen Yuanchuan was furious to the extreme, continually shrieking, but no one paid any heed to him.

After throwing him outside the Shen Family Courtyard, Zhao Hu Zi, from his higher position, said imperiously: ”Chen Yuanchuan, remember to relay Master Su’s message. Otherwise, I will break your damn legs and throw you back. You can go and tell him yourself!”

Chen Yuanchuan gritted his teeth in anger, but upon seeing the people in front of him, he didn’t dare to speak further. Among them were people who had come out of the Chen Family’s dungeon, who hated him to the bone. That they didn’t kill him on the spot was already merciful; where would he have the audacity to cause more trouble here?

Once back with Su Ze, Chen Yuanchuan conveyed Su Yang’s words to Su Ze, naturally embellishing them with a concoction of exaggerations.

Upon hearing Chen Yuanchuan’s report, Su Ze nearly exploded with rage. However, in the end, he accepted Ghost Shadow’s advice and didn’t directly send someone to fight to the death with Su Yang.

”He wants to see me?” Su Ze sneered and slowly stood up: ”Fine, then I want to see for myself what kind of remarkable abilities this Su Yang has to cause such chaos in the Capital City. Chen Yuanchuan, go tell him, tonight in the Purple Lotus Garden!”

Chen Yuanchuan inwardly rejoiced, seeing Su Ze’s appearance, he must be very angry. If they met tonight, the two of them were bound to fight.

”Yes, I’ll go tell him right away!” Chen Yuanchuan said hastily.

”Wait a moment!” Su Ze halted Chen Yuanchuan, giving him a cold glance: ”Remember, what should be said and what should not be said. Don’t think you can deceive me with your little tricks!”

Chen Yuanchuan’s heart skipped a beat, realizing he had been exaggerating on both ends of his message passing. It seemed Su Ze had caught on?

With a heart filled with alarm, Chen Yuanchuan bowed even lower, saying in a trembling voice, ”Yes, I... I understand...”

With a wave of his hand, Su Ze dismissed him, and like a man fleeing for his life, Chen Yuanchuan turned and left.

After Chen Yuanchuan’s departure, Su Ze let Ghost Shadow out and said in a deep voice: ”You heard everything just now, right? This Su Yang is way too arrogant, daring to speak to me like this, it’s absolutely detestable!”

”Patience in small matters upsets great plans!” Ghost Shadow spoke softly: ”You did right just now, that’s how a leader should behave!”

This comment slightly soothed Su Ze’s mind. He thought of the future prospect of becoming the Family Head, and thus no longer dwelled on these matters.

”I will go meet him at the Purple Lotus Garden tonight, what should I do next?” Su Ze asked in a deep voice.

”Since he wants to meet you, it shows he is a person of quality,” Ghost Shadow said: ”You just need to do as he says, of course, you also need to show your anger. Being too composed will make people think you were prepared, and they will suspect you. What we need to do is make them all underestimate us, that’s the safest way!”

Su Ze’s brows furrowed: ”So you’re saying, even if Su Yang insults me tonight, I can only retort a few words, and can’t fight them?”

Ghost Shadow leisurely said: ”If you can settle the matter with Black Widow in one go, then, who else from the Su Family of Yanbei could possibly contest with you for the position of the successor?”
