[Congratulations to the host for obtaining rewards: S-grade Extraordinary Weapon Tianyuan Sword, and 3,000 villain points!]
Hearing the system’s notification in his mind, the joy in Su Yu’s eyes grew even stronger.
An S-grade extraordinary weapon.
Even 9th stage Grandmasters coveted such a rare weapon.
Aside from a few powerful families whose 9th stage martial artists had deep foundations, most 9th stage Grandmasters had no channel to obtain an S-grade extraordinary weapon.
The materials required to forge one were extremely precious. The essential core material was the beast core of a Level 9 ferocious beast. In addition, extraterrestrial meteorite iron was required. Ordinary metals simply could not withstand the power contained within a ferocious beast’s core.
And a Level 9 ferocious beast possessed terrifying combat strength. An ordinary 9th stage Grandmaster would not dare to hunt one alone.
Su Yu extracted the reward and stored it in his storage ring. Then he looked at Lin Hao, who was lying on the ground, and smiled. “That’s more like it. Things that belong to my Su Family are not so easy to take.”
Listening to Su Yu’s indifferent words, Lin Hao felt a bitter taste in his heart.
But what he felt more was pain and unwillingness.
Those cultivation resources…
They were all his!
Now he had to hand them back. It was more painful than killing him.
But what could he do even if he was unwilling? He knew he had no justification. The entire capital knew how his daughter had treated Su Yu.
He had originally intended to be greedy, thinking Su Yu could not let go of Lin Panxi, so he tried to avoid returning the betrothal gifts.
Who would have thought Su Yu would summon an 8th stage Golden Body Realm powerhouse at the slightest disagreement and suppress him directly?
There was no choice but to return them.
“These are cultivation resources equivalent in value to the betrothal gifts,” Lin Hao said unwillingly as he threw out a storage ring.
Watching Su Yu put the ring away, Lin Hao felt as though his heart was bleeding.
Su Yu scanned the contents with his mental power. After confirming everything was correct, he stored the ring properly.
“Haha. Since the matter is settled, this young master shall not stay any longer. Farewell.” Su Yu patted nonexistent dust from his clothes, a faint smile at the corner of his lips.
The mental power binding Lin Panxi receded like a tide back into Su Yu’s body. Only then did Lin Panxi finally regain the ability to breathe.
Freed from the restraint, she collapsed onto the ground, kneeling as she gasped for air.
At that moment, when she looked at Su Yu again, there was no trace of contempt in her eyes. Only deep fear remained.
Because just now, she had truly felt that Su Yu intended to kill her.
With the trivial matters of the Lin Family resolved, Su Yu had no reason to stay.
Although he also wanted to kill the protagonist Chu Feng and the female lead Lin Panxi at that moment, he suppressed the urge in order to extract more value from them. Read this novel at novelping(.)com for the best experience.
Moreover, the system would not allow it.
If he truly killed them, an even stronger Chosen One might appear, or the so-called will of the world might punish him. That would not be worth the loss.
With such an excellent identity, how could he not enjoy it properly? Otherwise, it would be an insult to his previous life as an overworked office worker.
Just as father and daughter exchanged glances, preparing to speak, Su Yu, who had reached the entrance of the hall, suddenly stopped.
He turned around and smiled meaningfully. “Ah, what a pity.”
A flash of light appeared in his hand.
Then, a strange crystal the size of a human head appeared in his palm.
The moment Lin Hao saw it, his body trembled violently. “9th grade Origin Marrow!”
At the instant the crystal appeared, Lin Hao felt the bones and flesh within his body strengthen. Even the condensation of his indestructible substance became purer.
Something capable of producing such miraculous effects even from a distance could only be the extremely rare 9th grade Origin Marrow.
Su Yu casually tossed the 9th grade Origin Marrow in his hand and shook his head regretfully. “Originally, I intended to gift this 9th grade Origin Marrow to Patriarch Lin. But… The current you are not worthy! Hahaha!”
Su Yu put away the Origin Marrow and left the Lin Family laughing.
Watching his departing figure, a trace of regret flashed in Lin Hao’s eyes.
Why was he not worthy?
Because of the broken engagement!
With that 9th grade Origin Marrow, not only would his schedule to condense a Golden Body be greatly advanced, but the Golden Body he forged would also rank among the top within the 8th stage Golden Body Realm.
All of it had once been within his grasp…
And he had thrown it away with his own hands.
Once regret took root, it was difficult to extinguish.
When he looked at Lin Panxi again, he felt an unfamiliar trace of irritation toward the daughter he had always cherished.
Sensing her father’s strange gaze, Lin Panxi, who had just recovered slightly, suddenly grew nervous. “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Lin Hao was startled and quickly regained composure. He waved his hand. “Nothing.”
Although he had lost a great opportunity, he comforted himself slightly.
He looked past the crowd at Chu Feng, who was lying unconscious among the rubble. “Although I lost the 9th grade Origin Marrow, Chu Feng’s future achievements will certainly reach 9th stage Grandmaster. He might even become a Martial Saint.”
“Fortunately, Su Yu only took back the betrothal gifts and did not completely destroy the Lin Family’s industries.” Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
For a moment, Lin Hao even felt a strange sense of relief.
…
Outside the Lin Family gates, Su Yu stood at the entrance. His mental power detected numerous powerful auras hidden in the surroundings.
Standing there, he smiled and said, “Everyone, this farce should come to an end.”
“Here, I announce something…”
“My Su Family and the Lin Family have no further relationship. From this day forward, all business dealings with their affiliated industries are terminated!”
After saying this, Su Yu stepped into a luxury sedan whose defensive capabilities were comparable to an A-grade extraordinary Alloy weapon. Under the watchful eyes of spies from various major families who were waiting for news between the Su Family and the Lin Family, he departed elegantly.
Once the Su Family’s car left, the spies from various first-rate and second-rate families revealed themselves.
After exchanging glances, they nodded tacitly and rushed back to their respective families at top speed.
This news was too shocking.
Because…
It signified the downfall of a first-rate family!
The next day.
The capital, which had been as calm as stagnant water, was thrown into turmoil once again after seven years.
“Shocking! The Su Family and the Lin Family completely terminate all business relations. The Lin Family no longer has any connection to the Su Family. If anyone from the Lin Family uses the Su Family’s name for fraud, deal with them as you see fit!”
“After pursuing the campus belle for seven years, Su Family’s young master awakens overnight and refuses to be a bootlicker!”
The two pieces of news exploded throughout the entire capital.
That very morning, once the news spread, numerous first-rate and second-rate families stormed the Lin Family.
Inside the Lin Family hall, which had only recently been repaired, Lin Hao’s face was pale. The other members of the Lin Family were equally bloodless in fear at the overwhelming display.
“Patriarch Lin, the Tang Family is here today to terminate all business with the Lin Group. In addition, we must discuss compensation.”
“Patriarch Lin, when we cooperated with you, you promised that our Tang Family would build good relations with the Su Family. How do you intend to resolve this?”
“The Mo Family is the same…”
“And the Yu Family…”
“And we…”
Looking at the dense crowd of representatives from various major families, Lin Hao finally realized the magnitude of his foolish decision yesterday.
“Ah! Su Yu, I hate you!” Unable to endure their pressing faces any longer, Lin Hao’s lips twitched before he threw his head back and roared toward the sky.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for indirectly suppressing the female lead’s family. Reward…]
