The Liu Family elder turned pale, drenched in a cold sweat.
At that moment, the feeling of death assaulted his senses; he was right in the jaws of death.
He had heard about how powerful Su Ping was from Liu Tianzong and other elders, and he had seen the outstanding abilities Su Ping demonstrated in the videos. But he only realized this day that the stories he heard were not exaggerated at all. This young man was a vicious monster!
That one punch frightened the others as well. The rest of the onlookers were taken aback. They had seen videos of Su Ping as well, so they were mentally prepared. But at that close range, they had gained a more direct feeling of Su Ping’s strength.
Deep in their hearts, they began to treat Su Ping as an equal.
It wasn’t because of the mysterious supporter, or the young man’s battle pets. It was because of his strength! Since Venerable the Blade and Tang Ruyan were sitting the closest to Su Ping, they were the two who had the strongest feelings.
They had known Su Ping for a while, but they never thought that he could be so horrifying!
Venerable the Blade had met a fair share of talented people, and he was a genius in his own right. He could understand it if Su Ping were using a battle pet to scare a titled battle pet warrior, but not his own strength… Venerable the Blade even wondered if Su Ping were hiding his age or faking his rank.
Tang Ruyan had a lifeless expression.
She was aware that Su Ping was talented, even more so than she was. But what happened at this moment had shattered her view of him. Again, she had been trying to overestimate Su Ping and it turned out that she was still off the mark by far!
Besides, she could tell that this fellow was still hiding some strength!
“Mr., Mr. Su, please, don’t be mad at us.”
The other elder of the Liu Family was sweating profusely as well. He believed that if Su Ping were to start killing, then he would probably lose his life there as well.
After all, the store was Su Ping’s territory. Several rooms could escape their perception. Who could tell if there were other titled battle pet warriors there or not?
The elder of the Liu Family couldn’t help but speak to Su Ping with greater respect.
“We haven’t thought this through. Please give us another chance to make up for our mistakes. Mr. Su, what do you need? Please tell us. Anything.” The elder of the Liu Family smiled apologetically.
Su Ping snorted. Why did he have to lose his temper for someone to listen to him?
Those elders were in high positions and they controlled many people and resources. However, they weren’t necessarily smarter than the random man in the street.
All the countless dynasties in the past could have taken heed of warnings from historical mistakes, but why could they never avoid following the same old disastrous road? Ignorance and stupidity knew no difference between people’s statuses. Those two features were built in human nature and they would never go away just because people had knowledge, money, or power!
Anyone who could alter that nature would be a saint, a “god” in every sense!
“You refuse to be convinced until you are faced with grim reality. Your Liu Family competed against my store and that was pure business. I understand. There wasn’t any bloodshed or people dying. However, I know very well what you’re thinking. Your Liu Family thinks that I’m doomed. I also think that you secretly sent a message to the Star Organization!”
Su Ping continued coldly, “But here is something you should know. I have the courage to kill them because I’m not afraid of retaliation! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me! They won’t have the chance to defeat me!”
He was not a kind person.
How much blood had he seen and how much darkness had he gone through in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead?
How many times did he die and come back to life?
When he was at the store, he would conceal all the anger in his heart. He did so to prevent anger from clouding his mind, because he didn’t want to hurt the people that he loved.
However, he didn’t have to conceal this anger in front of those outsiders!
I can reason with you, but if you don’t listen to reason, I will make you tremble!
The two elders felt that even their hearts were trembling upon hearing Su Ping’s frightening words. Inwardly, they had started to regret the whole matter.
They should have known better than to continue provoking the store owner.
They were crying inside. When will the Star Organization get here?!
“Go back and tell your family head. Since you’re unwilling to hand a proper gift, then go back and give me half of your family assets as an apology. Otherwise, from today on, there shall be no more Liu Family in the Longjiang Base City!” Su Ping warned them.
The two elders from the Liu Family could not give credit to his warning.
He wanted half of their family assets?!
The other elders were also greatly shaken. No one could have foreseen how greedy Su Ping was. What he was asking could very well destroy the Liu Family!
And it was just because the Liu Family had been stingy?
No!
Soon, the others realized that it was because the Liu family had made their attitude perfectly clear. They despised Su Ping and believed that he was going to perish soon enough, which had enraged Su Ping. The other reason was the previous dispute between the Liu Family and Su Ping. Su Ping was just settling all the scores in one go!
This guy. Su Ping claimed that he only regarded the dispute as a business competition. However, in fact, he was trying to destroy the Liu Family, once and for all!
He was the bad guy but he was standing on the moral high ground! He was the most treacherous “king”!
For a moment, the other elders were eyeing Su Ping with trepidation. They would have been afraid if Su Ping were a brainless fiend. An insidious person like him was the scariest of all!
“Mr. Su, that…”
Sweat trickled down their foreheads. The two elders felt they were stepping into a pond of troubles.
If they knew this would have happened, they would have prepared 10 dragon eggs, let alone one!
Besides, Su Ping had said those warnings in front of everyone else. He had to deliver on his promise or he would lose his authority. If he were to force the Liu Family to give up half of their family assets, then the Liu Family would no longer be counted as one of the five major families, and whatever was left from them would eventually be cannibalized by the other families!
The other option was for the Liu Family to leave the Longjiang Base City and rise from the ashes.
But that would be even harder on the Liu Family!
The two elders from the Liu Family felt as if there was a physical burden on their backs, such that they couldn’t stand up straight.
Right at that moment, a robust voice came from the outside, “Anything fun going on here?”
That voice surprised everyone.
They looked over, only to see that a strong man had arrived, standing outside on the stairs before everyone realized. The man was almost two meters tall, like a tower. He was the masculine sort, wearing a black, sleeveless T-shirt. He carried a huge iron hammer on his back; the man was creating a suffocating atmosphere.
When those inside the store saw this man, they felt all the light had been swallowed.
Venerable the Blade was taken aback.
He knew this man.
One of the most famous titled battle pet warriors in the Subcontinent District.
King of Arms!
Qin Shuhai also appeared to be surprised to see this man. In the next second, he turned pale as he quickly looked at Su Ping. The Star Organization had arrived!
This was the day after the Elite League. The King of Arms had come to the Longjiang Base City, and arrived at Su Ping’s store!
Qin Shuhai was colorless. So many people were sitting in Su Ping’s store. What would the Star Organization think after seeing all of them here?
The man’s arrival was a surprise to Su Ping as well. After a second of daze, Su Ping estimated that the man was at the peak of the titled rank.
He had met with many others at the peak of the titled rank. Those whom he had been loafing Heaven’s Tests off from were all at the peak of the titled rank, the very best who were able to sense the calling of Heaven’s Test.
Is this man from the Tang Family or the Star Organization?
Su Ping darted a look at Tang Ruyan.
Only to see that she was confused.
He was then sure that the man was from the Star Organization.
He knew that he wasn’t a customer because of a glint of killing intent he kept.
That killing intent was very well concealed. However, Su Ping was very sensitive to such things. Not even Venerable the Blade could be as sensitive as he was!
On that front, Su Ping was sure of his instinct.
