Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 2100 - 429: Widespread Debts of Infamy 2

The reason why the Third Patriarch of the Zhang family wanted to know what that person had bought and sold was to get a general idea of their background. After all, the goods a person buys and sells often reflect their social status.

Take martial arts as an example. A martial artist at the Gui Zhen realm is unlikely to buy martial arts at the Yellow or Lower Xuan realms. They would also rarely purchase martial arts at the Upper Xuan or Supreme Xuan realms.

Similarly, a martial artist below the Gui Zhen realm wouldnʼt buy martial arts above the Di realm, as they wouldnʼt be able to master them even if they acquired them.

However, with Mr. Hanʼs objection, they were at a loss as to what to do.

Although Zhang Jiancheng didnʼt possess great wisdom, he was quite clever. His eyes flickered as he said, ”Then we can simply buy the same items that that person sold to your esteemed institution, or purchased from it. That shouldnʼt be a problem, right?”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Han frowned slightly.

The Third Patriarch of the Zhang family hurriedly said, ”We donʼt expect Brother Han to break the rules. But buying things here shouldnʼt be a problem, right? Or does Brother Han not even offer us this small courtesy?”

Mr. Hanʼs expression suddenly became strange as he asked, ”Do you really want to buy the same items as that young man?”

”Of course. Although our Zhang family isnʼt extremely wealthy, anything that an unknown young man can afford should be within our means,” said Zhang Jiancheng proudly.

Mr. Han remained silent, merely looking at the Third Patriarch of the Zhang family. With him present, Zhang Jianchengʼs words didnʼt count.

The Third Patriarch nodded and said, ”What is it? Just show it to Brother Han. Do you really think our Zhang family canʼt afford it?”

”Alright,” replied Mr. Han. He quickly took out the half-finished booklet that had passed through many hands and said, ”What he bought is this: a Lower Tier Tian Realm martial art, Wind God Leg.”

”Damn it! Tian Realm! Who on earth is that kid?” Zhang Jiancheng was shocked.

Anyone who could practice a Tian Realm martial art must be at least a powerful being in the Die Fan realm.

But that kid seemed to be in his twenties.

Could it be that his true identity was an old demon who deliberately maintained a youthful appearance?

But with such a distinguished appearance, was there really a need to maintain youth?

The Third Patriarch of the Zhang familyʼs expression became strange. Zhang Jiancheng didnʼt know what Wind God Leg was, but he knew all about it.

Back then, when the incomplete manuscript of Wind God Leg was unearthed, it caused quite a stir. However, due to its high level, only some powerful figures were interested in it, so it wasnʼt as well-known as ”that martial art”.

But both were practically useless. After that incident, anyone who tried to buy that martial art would immediately become the subject of ridicule.

Who would have thought that today, he would accidentally become the laughingstock himself?

Sighing, the Third Patriarch of the Zhang family said helplessly, ”Alright. Besides that, did that young man buy anything else?”

”No, he just exchanged it for an Upper Tier Di Realm martial art according to the rules, then left,” said Mr. Han, shaking his head. He didnʼt mention that Wang Yue bought another Upper Tier Di Realm martial art after the exchange.

So, that kid also became a victim of deception!

The Third Patriarch of the Zhang family felt somewhat relieved. At the same time, he seemed to understand why those two young men from the Zhang family had encountered misfortune. Apparently, those young men had been deceived, and now those two children had become victims as well.

Although they were both in similar situations, the Third Patriarch of the Zhang family had no intention of forgiving that young man. Moreover, he had obtained enough information from Mr. Han.

Firstly, since that young man wanted to buy a Tian Realm martial art, his cultivation level must be quite high, at least at the Gui Zhen realm.

Secondly, that young man probably didnʼt have any backing; otherwise, he wouldnʼt have fallen for such a deception.

This made the Third Patriarch of the Zhang family feel greatly relieved: Itʼs good that he has no backing!

At least his cultivation level isnʼt weak. That person only disabled two young men from the Zhang family, without taking their lives.

Clearly, he had some considerations regarding the Zhang family. Therefore, no matter how high his cultivation level is, it must be limited.

At least he canʼt be a match for the Zhang familyʼs patriarch; otherwise, there would be no need to hold back.

”Thank you, Brother Han. I understand the rules. If I remember correctly, you should have a top-tier Earth-class secret manual called ʼMysterious Heaven Fingerʼ. Give me that instead. I wonʼt consider the Wind God Leg. Iʼll also have the Zhang family deliver the exchanged item to you as quickly as possible,” said the third patriarch of the Zhang family resignedly.

In fact, the treasures in his space ring were more than enough to pay for the Wind God Leg manual.

But since this was for the familyʼs sake, he didnʼt want to spend his own money.

After that, he wrote out an IOU, and the third patriarch of the Zhang family left the top floor with Zhang Jiancheng.

In the elevator, Zhang Jiancheng couldnʼt hold back anymore. He asked, ”Grandpa, why give up a Heaven-class martial skill to exchange for a top-tier Earth-class one? Isnʼt that a huge loss?”

”What do you know?” said the third patriarch of the Zhang family.

”The Wind God Leg is indeed a lower-tier Heaven-class martial skill. Its power is even comparable to that of middle- or upper-tier Heaven-class martial skills. But like ʼthat other martial skill,ʼ no one can truly unleash its full potential.”

If it were just about the characteristics of the Wind God Leg, Zhang Jiancheng might not have understood. But when mentioned as ”that other martial skill,” he immediately got it.

After all, that martial skill was extremely famous, and almost everyone in the martial arts world knew about it.

”So, that kid also fell for this trick?” Zhang Jiancheng couldnʼt help but feel gloating. As for the fact that they themselves had also been tricked, he didnʼt care.

After all, no matter how high the cost, it was still the Zhang familyʼs resources being used, not related to him personally. Moreover, with the Zhang familyʼs vast influence, being deceived wouldnʼt cause any serious damage.

”Letʼs not talk about that anymore,” said the third patriarch of the Zhang family, feeling somewhat annoyed. Although it wasnʼt his money that was spent, it was still he who ended up looking ridiculous. There was no way to avoid it.

Then, while the elevator was descending, the Zhang family members contacted the internal communication system of the Zhang family and reported the information they had obtained from Lingyun Pavilion as well as their own deductions.

After leaving Lingyun Pavilion, the third patriarch of the Zhang family and Zhang Jiancheng planned to return directly to the Zhang family headquarters to discuss how to capture that young man.

Now that they knew that that person didnʼt have any significant backing, they felt much more relaxed compared to when they first arrived.

But before they could take a few steps, a figure suddenly appeared beside them, attacking them like lightning. Before they could react, Zhang Jianchengʼs head was severed from his body, and blood sprayed out from his neck, reaching a height of over ten feet.

At the same time, a foot also slammed into the face of the third patriarch of the Zhang family.
