Chapter 2099 - 428: Widespread Debts of Infamy 1

So, he could only pretend not to hear Huawen and ignore him. Looking at the council members, he repeated, ”Please have the Warrior Alliance take action on behalf of the Zhang family!”

Although those council members were part of the Warrior Alliance, in theory, they didnʼt need to consider anyoneʼs face. After all, the Warrior Alliance was an official organization that stood above all martial forces, except for the sacred lands.

However, although the Warrior Alliance remained aloof, its staff wasnʼt necessarily so. These council members were also from Tianhai and had their own power networks, but they werenʼt as strong as the four major families.

Therefore, although Zhang Jianyuanʼs request had no basis, the council members still nodded in agreement. ”Donʼt worry, Lord Zhang. This is only right. No martial artist has the right to carry out private justice. The Warrior Alliance wonʼt ignore this matter.”

Huawen couldnʼt help but sneer inwardly. It was true that the Warrior Alliance had such rules, but when it came to personal grudges among martial artists, they usually turned a blind eye.

The two young men from the Zhang family started by bullying others, even committing murder and robbery. But in the end, they were killed in return. If this had happened to ordinary martial artists, the Warrior Alliance wouldnʼt have bothered to intervene at all.

In short, rules are one thing, but whether theyʼre actually enforced depends entirely on who you are.

Is it fair? Of course not. But where in this world is there much fairness anyway?

Huawen didnʼt intend to get involved. His only purpose in coming today was to watch the Zhang family suffer and cause them some trouble along the way.

As for the young man who hurt someone from Huawenʼs family, Huawen didnʼt even know him, so naturally, he wouldnʼt stand up for him.

Besides, Huawenʼs family also benefited from the unfair practices of the Warrior Alliance. So, he had no reason to oppose them.

After agreeing to Zhang Jianyuanʼs request, the council members asked, ”Does Lord Zhang have any clues regarding this matter?”

”After that person committed the crime, all the surveillance cameras near Lingyun Pavilion suddenly stopped working. It seemed like that person disappeared into thin air. We searched all night but couldnʼt find any trace of him. However, we do have footage from before he attacked. Please watch.”

Zhang Jianyuan said this as he played a virtual video showing Wang Yue leaving Lingyun Pavilion until he defeated the two young men from the Zhang family and disappeared into the underground parking lot.

”This kid definitely doesnʼt seem like a good person at first glance.”

After seeing the appearance of the perpetrator, several council members expressed their thoughts before saying, ”His appearance is so distinctive that it shouldnʼt be difficult to find him. Master Zhang, please rest assured. Our Warrior Alliance will send more people to search for him thoroughly. As soon as we get any news, we will inform you immediately.”

Hua Wen, who was standing nearby, also felt somewhat speechless. The boy in the video indeed looked like a villain, someone one would want to punch. However, what he did was quite satisfying.

Now that this person has crossed paths with the Zhang family, no matter who suffers in the end, Hua Wen would be happy to see it happen.

Of course, if forced to choose between the two, he would prefer the Zhang family to suffer. After all, the young man just didnʼt have a likable appearance, while the Zhang family had actual conflicts of interest with the Hua family.

Itʼs a pity he didnʼt know how to contact that young man. Otherwise, he wouldnʼt mind offering some help to make things more troublesome for the Zhang family.

After thanking the council members and leaving behind a video, Zhang Jianyuan left the Warrior Alliance, completely ignoring Hua Wen, who followed behind him.

On the other side, Zhang Jiancheng and the third patriarch of the Zhang family also arrived at Lingyun Pavilion and successfully met Mr. Han.

”Two Mr. Zhangs, what a rare sight! What brings you here?” Mr. Han greeted them with a smile.

Although he was a powerful being at the Degenerate Mortal Realm, he considered himself foremost a businessman.

As a businessman, the key is to create harmony for profit. Therefore, no matter who came, he would receive them warmly.

”Brother Han,” the third patriarch of the Zhang family quickly bowed in return. He didnʼt dare to be arrogant in front of Mr. Han, as the latterʼs cultivation level was at the peak of the Degenerate Mortal Realm, slightly higher than his own. Moreover, Lingyun Pavilion, which Mr. Han belonged to, was far more powerful than the Zhang family.

”What brings you here, Brother Zhang?” Mr. Han asked with a smile. ”Could it be that you have mastered the Thunder Palm and want to learn a new martial art here?”

”Brother Han, youʼre joking. Although the Thunder Palm isnʼt some astonishing masterpiece, mastering it isnʼt easy either,” the third patriarch of the Zhang family said with a smile.

”As for why weʼve come here, with your intelligence, surely you can guess. Thereʼs no need to ask explicitly.”

”Good, Brother Zhang, youʼre straightforward. Then I wonʼt hide anything from you,” Mr. Han said.

”If you two have come here to get information about that young man, Iʼm sorry. Not only has he left no information behind, but even if he had, I couldnʼt tell you. Lingyun Pavilionʼs rule is never to betray its customers. You should be aware of that.”

”I understand, I understand,” the third patriarch of the Zhang family quickly nodded. ”Moreover, I wouldnʼt dare to use this as a means to trouble Brother Han. I just want to know what goods that person bought from you. That shouldnʼt be a problem, right?”

Not dare to trouble?

So why do you guys indulge those two kids in showing off their flattery here all day long?

If it werenʼt for the principles of ”harmony brings prosperity” and ”donʼt hit someone who smiles at you”, I would have kicked them out myself long ago!

As for the person who initiated this, he actually has a good impression of that young man. Although the guy isnʼt very likable and behaves rather rudely, he really helped me solve a significant problem.

According to the rules of Lingyun Pavilion, whatever is bought and sold is considered customer privacy and must not be disclosed. But usually, no one really takes this seriously, and customers themselves generally donʼt mind either.

However, since Mr. Han has a good impression of that young man, he doesnʼt mind causing some trouble for the Zhang family. So he shook his head and said, ”Iʼm sorry, but this also falls under customer privacy. As a member of Lingyun Pavilion, I cannot disclose it.”
