Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Qiu Zhen glanced over, recalling that she and her bestie had spent the whole night playing mahjong yesterday and she hadn’t seen Lin Mo. Now, seeing that Lin Mo was handsome but nothing particularly special, the contempt in her eyes deepened even further.

A person like him, if thrown into a crowd, would at most just be considered a little handsome—how could he be worthy of her daughter.

He Shouming looked at Lin Mo and said, ”You’re back. Tomorrow, come with me to apologize to the Wei Family. You injured Wei Ya, and the Wei Family will definitely not let you off. However, with me speaking for you, they won’t make it too hard on you.”

Just yesterday, He Shouming had addressed him as ”young brother,” but now he didn’t even use any title.

Lin Mo didn’t seem to care. Sitting relaxedly on the sofa, he said, ”Xiao Wu, bring me a cup of tea.”

He Wuxue was stunned for a moment but then nodded obediently, stood up, took a set of tea utensils, and made a cup of clear tea.

He Shouming, He Jingxing, and Qiu Zhen all frowned.

This guy really didn’t consider himself an outsider, daring to order around his own daughter.

Even the only good impression He Shouming once had of Lin Mo vanished, his face growing colder.

Relying on having saved himself, he just didn’t know how high the sky was, He Shouming couldn’t help but shake his head.

Lin Mo, after drinking his tea, said, ”I’ll wait here for the Wei Family to come and apologize. I won’t be staying long.”

”The Wei Family coming to apologize?” He Jingxing widened his eyes as if he had heard a joke, ”Who do you think you are? The Wei Family apologizing to you?”

”Does this guy have a problem with his brain?” Qiu Zhen frowned, questioning if Lin Mo was mentally ill.

He Shouming became even angrier, his face flushing red, ”Lin Mo, the Wei Family is the foremost great family in Fu Province. You, a mere young man, should not provoke them. If you come with me to apologize, perhaps the Wei Family may still spare your life.”

Lin Mo just smiled silently.

”Is this how you expect to pursue my daughter?” Qiu Zhen said coldly.

”Look in the mirror, understand the reality,” He Jingxing said, shaking his head vigorously, sounding somewhat angry.

He Wuxue sighed internally; although she knew that Lin Mo was a Martial Arts Master, the Wei Family was a Martial Arts Family, and moreover, they vastly outnumbered Lin Mo. Even she was starting to doubt Lin Mo.

”Master, the Family Head of the Wei Family, Wei Jingshou, is here...” Suddenly, the butler rushed in to report.

He Jingxing and Qiu Zhen’s expressions changed subtly; the Wei Family was evidently here to exact accountability.

If it was just for Lin Mo, it would have been okay, but if it affected the marriage alliance, it would be a severe blow to the He Family.

As a high-profile individual controlling a conglomerate worth hundreds of billions, He Shouming had long cultivated a demeanor of calmness in the face of changes, but hearing that Wei Jingshou himself had come, he was still slightly startled.

Wei Ya was just a non-prominent junior within the Wei Family, at most Wei Zifa and Wei Yongning should have come, but now even Wei Jingshou himself had personally come.

”Did you turn Wei Ya into a vegetable?” He Shouming frowned at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo shook his head. ”I killed him.”

With that statement, the villa fell deathly silent.

He Shouming and He Jingxing’s expressions abruptly changed. Injuring Wei Ya, even crippling him, would still have left room for maneuver, but killing him meant they had made deadly enemies of the Wei Family.

”It seems I can’t protect you today either.” He Shouming sighed and shook his head.

He Jingxing, clenching his fists with eyes nearly spitting fire, looked at Lin Mo. Lin Mo’s actions were about to disrupt not only the marriage alliance between the He Family and the Wei Family but also their relations.

A group from the Wei Family strode in, led by a middle-aged man who carried an imposing aura: Wei Jingshou.

”Mr. Wei,” He Shouming stood up, addressing him with a slight reverence.

To his surprise, Wei Jingshou didn’t even glance at him but walked straight up to Lin Mo, respectfully bowed, and said, ”Wei Jingshou of the Wei Family greets Lord Lin Tanyu!” Silence fell over the entire scene.

Wei Zifa, Wei Yongning, Tian Yun, and others following Wei Jingshou looked utterly at a loss.

Wei Zifa and the others were confused and clueless as to why Wei Jingshou and Wei Qiankun showed such reverence towards Lin Mo. Even members of the He Family stood frozen, like statues.

He Shouming’s eyebrows tightly knitted together. He managed the immense family fortune of the He Family, had interactions with society elites and political magnates, and experienced life’s ups and downs. His heart state had long ago reached a realm as still as unwavering wells, but at this moment, it seemed as though the well was tumultuously gushing, unable to be stilled.

He Jingxing and his wife, Qiu Zhen, looked at each other in shock. Their faces showed surprise, confusion, bewilderment, and astonishment; an array of rich expressions consumed their faces.

”What’s going on?” He Wuxue covered her delicate lips, afraid of crying out loud.

And at the center of everyone’s attention was Lin Mo.

Lin Mo sat leisurely on the sofa, with no hint of joy or sorrow on his face. Holding his teacup, he gently took a sip, then slowly raised his head to look at Wei Jingshou and asked, ”You’re the helmsman of the Wei Family?”

Lin Mo glanced at him, then at the long-haired young man beside him. The True Yuan within both of them was profound, having stepped into the realm of Half-step Martial God. However, Wei Jingshou’s True Yuan was more dense, like a firm and steady rock. While the young man’s True Yuan had some sharpness and edge to it, resembling a treasure sword hidden within his body.

”I indeed am the Family Head of the Wei Family, Wei Jingshou,” Wei Jingshou said, bowing his head very respectfully as if he wouldn’t dare to lift it unless Lin Mo nodded.

”You’re here because of Wei Ya, aren’t you? He was killed by me; does your Wei Family seek revenge?” Lin Mo put down the teacup he was holding and, with eyes bright as stars, looked at the people from Wei Family and said lightly.

Wei Jingshou’s body shook, and he hurriedly said, ”Lord Lin Tanyu, our Wei Family wouldn’t dare. Wei Ya offended you and was slain by you; it was his own fault. How could our Wei Family blame you, sir?”

”Big brother...” Wei Yongning clenched his fists, not expecting Wei Jingshou to say such things.

After all, even if Wei Ya was incompetent, he was still a member of their Wei Family, Wei Yongning’s own flesh and blood.

”Shut up, or I’ll expel you from the Wei Family,” Wei Jingshou turned and glanced at Wei Yongning, his gaze sharp and icy, frightening Tian Yun, who was about to speak, into trembling and forcibly holding back her words.

”Since your Wei Family does not intend to seek revenge, then let it be,” Lin Mo said indifferently.

These days in Lai Fu Province, Lin Mo had been in a very unpleasant mood, and if the Wei Family had come to provoke him, he wouldn’t mind crushing the Wei Family to stretch his muscles and bones.

As for He Shouming, He Jingxing, and others who stood stiff in the living room, they were already shockingly at a loss, now unable even to guess what kind of background Lin Mo had for even the mighty Fusheng Wei Family to willingly bow their heads, renouncing even the vengeance for Wei Ya.

He Wuxue’s eyes, as she looked towards Lin Mo, also gradually filled with a hint of wonder.

She only knew that Lin Mo was a Martial Artist, but the Wei Family was also among the Martial Arts Families, and they outnumbered Lin Mo. Yet, why were they so frightened of him?

”Lord Lin Tanyu...”

Just then, Wei Qiankun suddenly raised his head, a pair of bright eyes like stars filled with sharpness, fixing his gaze directly on Lin Mo.

”Oh, you still have something to say?” Lin Mo stood up from the sofa with his hands behind his back.

Wei Qiankun said, ”I heard that Lord Lin Tanyu is a Martial Arts God, having already entered into the ranks of Kings. Although I, Wei Qiankun, am not a genius, I would also like to experience Lord Lin Tanyu’s martial prowess.”

”Qian Kun, you...” Wei Jingshou’s face suddenly turned pale with fright; Wei Qiankun was directly challenging Lin Mo’s authority.

”Doing this would doom our Wei Family,” Wei Jingshou clenched his fists, knuckles turning somewhat white as he stared intently at Wei Qiankun.

Wei Qiankun was a genius of the Wei Family in the Martial Arts World, stepping into the realm of Half-step Martial God at twenty-four and devoting himself to practicing Martial Arts in the Wei Family on a small island. Now, a year out from seclusion, he was considered a genius among geniuses in the Huaxia Martial Arts World.

But Lin Mo had slain the Young Sect Master of Joy Sect, the Young Master of Green Dragon Gang, and Mr. Wu of the Black Witch Sect, all geniuses from great forces who perished at his hands.

Not only that, both the Sect Master of Joy Sect and another genius, Ning Xuan, died by Lin Mo’s hands, and the Gang Leader of Green Dragon Gang was even smashed to death by Lin Mo’s fist.

With such a fierce record, who would dare challenge him?

The name Lin Tanyu was so feared by Wei Jingshou because of the mighty reputation built upon mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

”You have talent, but unfortunately, you’re not my match. If you cultivated for a few more decades, perhaps you would qualify to fight me,” Lin Mo said, hands behind his back, shaking his head lightly.

Wei Qiankun clenched his fists, his eyes widened in disbelief at Lin Mo.

Wei Qiankun too was a genius, the recipient of the envy and admiration of others. At twenty-four, he stepped into the realm of Half-step Martial God, even regarded as a legendary figure throughout the Fu Province Martial Arts World.

Yet now, he was so easily dismissed by Lin Mo, hurting his proud heart. Moreover, seeing Lin Mo being so close to He Wuxue, would he, Wei Qiankun, ever dare to marry He Wuxue in the future?

If this incident got out, how could Wei Qiankun still hold his place in Fu Province?

”Father, today’s matter has nothing to do with the Wei Family. I now break ties with the Wei Family and only ask for a fight,” Wei Qiankun said with determined eyes.

”Fool.” Lin Mo looked at him and shook his head, suddenly directing his gaze towards the outside of the villa, ”My friend has arrived!”

With that, Lin Mo walked briskly forward. Wei Qiankun was about to follow when his face suddenly changed, his body as if turned to solid steel, heavy as a thousand catties, making even stepping forward immensely difficult.

”Forgot to tell you, in front of me, Lin Mo, there are no geniuses,” Lin Mo spoke faintly as he stopped at the doorway, his back towards him.

”How could this be?” Wei Qiankun clenched his fists, bit his teeth so hard they almost shattered, his eyes filled with raging fury.

Wei Jingshou, seeing Lin Mo leave the villa, sighed in relief inside.

”Jing Shou, why...” Wei Zifa finally voiced the question that had been in his heart. They, the Wei Family, had weathered great storms over the years, even not backing down when Martial Artists from Wan Island tried to encroach upon Xiazhou ten years ago. Yet today, Wei Jingshou showed such an attitude towards Lin Mo.

Not only Wei Zifa, but Wei Yongning and his wife Tian Yun also focused their gaze on him.

The He Family naturally also stared expectantly at Wei Jingshou’s response.

”He is a King, and we cannot provoke him,” Wei Jingshou shook his head and sighed, his mouth filled with a bitter taste.
