Black Dragon City Center.
Inside an ancient palace adorned in blue and purple.
Several high-ranking members of the Lei Family, dressed in black cotton robes, sat together around a square table.
"Aotian, why did you provoke the Qianjiang City survivors in the global chat channel? The Su Family and our Lei Family are both among the four ancient families of Dragon Country, and their heritage has always been deeper than ours!"
"If not for that, why would our Lei Family ancestors come to Black Dragon City, this extremely cold place, to establish our family, while the Su Family occupied the incredibly fertile Demon Metropolis Jiangnan, the Xuanyuan Ji Family occupied Shu Land Jingnan, and the Northwest Zhou Family even occupied the ancient capital of Chang'an!"
"Even if the Zhou Family and Ji Family also fanned the flames in the global chat channel, you were the true instigator. If the Su Family wants to find trouble, they will use this as an excuse."
Lei Linshuo, the current head of the Lei Family, glared at the nonchalant Lei Aotian and scolded him.
In his opinion, Lei Aotian's actions were simply inviting trouble for the Lei Family for no reason.
"Big Brother, Little Tian is just trying to get the items that the Tier 3 Zombie King might drop. Now that the times have changed, everything is starting anew."
"Although the Su Family also forcefully took control of the Demon Metropolis at the beginning of the apocalypse, our Lei Family is not bad either. Although one-third of Black Dragon City fell, it has also been brought back under our control."
"Even if our Lei Family's overall strength is slightly inferior to the Su Family's now, there's no need to fear them so much."
"Besides, airplanes, high-speed trains, and regular trains have all completely failed. The distance between Black Dragon City and Demon Metropolis is so great, how could the Su Family possibly come here for such a small matter?"
Lei Linbing, who bore a slight resemblance to Lei Linshuo but was incredibly tall and exuded the aura of a mature woman, advised, casting a subtle, doting glance at Lei Aotian and giving him a "don't worry, I've got this" look.
"Little Aunt, wait for me in your room tonight."
Lei Aotian smiled cheerfully, responding with a slightly frivolous look in his eyes.
Lei Linbing, who had just been speaking, showed a flicker of panic in her eyes.
This little rascal, so bold.
Lei Linbing pouted in her heart, her mind wandering to who knows what.
"Hmph!"
"Little Sister, if you keep spoiling Aotian like this, something big will happen sooner or later!"
"Big Brother, the current head of the Su Family has actually become that boy Su Yufeng, and his strength has broken through to the Second Order Yunyuan Realm in an extremely short amount of time.
His combat power is even strong enough to single-handedly kill a Tier 3 Zombie King!"
"The Zombie King that just evolved outside Black Dragon City is not only invulnerable to blades and guns, but also incredibly fast!"
"Whether it's an armored vehicle or a tank, they are as fragile as tofu in front of him!"
"One can only imagine how strong Su Yufeng, who can easily kill a Tier 3 Zombie King, truly is. His current strength is probably greater than all of ours!"
Lei Linguo paused, then said with some concern, "The most crucial thing is that just ten minutes ago, the Original Source Shop refreshed with a brand new item."
"This item is called a Small Teleportation Source Array Layout Diagram! It sounds like a means of long-distance teleportation!"
"Although we don't know the specific function of this diagram, our Lei Family needs time to develop right now. I think Aotian must apologize to Su Yufeng."
"No matter what, Su Yufeng is now the head of the Su Family."
"Second Uncle!"
"What are you saying? You want me to apologize to Su Yufeng? Are you kidding me?!"
Upon hearing Lei Linguo's words, Lei Aotian, who had long been unable to restrain himself, immediately became furious, slamming his hand on the table and shouting impolitely.
Terrifying dark purple electric light flickered in his eyes, and the aura emanating from his body had completely surpassed the Sky Awakening Realm peak, reaching Source Nurturing Realm One-Star.
A phantom purple lightning python floated behind him, and even through his clothes, it made Lei Linguo and Lei Linshuo feel a stinging sensation on their skin, with a numbing sensation surging through their bodies.
"Presumptuous!"
"Aotian, apologize to your Second Uncle!"
"Since your strength has also reached the Source Nurturing Realm, then our Lei Family naturally has no reason to show weakness to the Su Family. Your Second Uncle was just worried about the Lei Family's safety."
Lei Linshuo scolded him with extreme sternness.
However, a hint of joyful relief flickered in his eyes. He knew that the talent awakened by his only son was extremely powerful, and he also knew that his root bone value was not low.
He just didn't expect that his cultivation speed was actually no weaker than Su Yufeng's. It's just that his personality was too different compared to that Su Yufeng of the Su Family.
When he met Su Yufeng a year ago, he could already sense his maturity and experience in handling matters.
If this boy Aotian had half of that, he could rest assured handing the Lei Family over to him.
But...
Lei Linshuo looked at the incredibly agitated Lei Aotian in front of him and couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Second Uncle, I apologize!"
"Nephew was a bit agitated just now."
Lei Aotian slowly reined in his aura upon hearing this. Although his words softened considerably, his attitude hadn't changed much.
These two old geezers should have handed the Lei Family over to him to control long ago.
They are all old!
If Su Yufeng of the Su Family can become the master of the Su Family, why can't I, Lei Aotian?
Behind me stands an incredibly powerful God. As long as I find the Origin Core of Earth Star for him and kill that damned Su Yufeng for him!
Then I, Lei Aotian, can obtain the God's boon and control the life and death of all living beings on Earth Star!
What is a mere Su Family?
Should I eliminate these two troublesome old geezers?
Lei Aotian lowered his eyes, and a hint of killing intent flickered deep within his purple, lightning-infused pupils.
"Alright, Big Brother, Second Brother, Little Tian is still a child. Don't take it to heart."
"Little Tian, quickly sit down."
"Come sit next to Little Aunt. With me here, they won't dare bully you!"
Lei Linbing sighed slightly as she saw the atmosphere turn icy, then pulled Lei Aotian into her embrace.
She held Lei Aotian in front of her like she was coaxing a child, making it difficult for him to breathe for a moment, his nose filled with the faint scent of osmanthus.
The killing intent in Lei Aotian's eyes flashed and disappeared. He took the opportunity to hug Lei Linbing's back, feeling her body temperature, and sat down beside her, no longer looking up.
"Little Sister, you..."
Lei Linshuo and Lei Linguo exchanged glances, unable to help but smile wryly.
This boy Lei Aotian had been spoiled by Lei Linbing since childhood, so their intimate gestures didn't arouse their suspicion.
The only thing that made them helpless was this:
How could such a Lei Aotian support the entire Lei Family? The Lei Family now needed to manage the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
To be the helmsman of the Lei Family, one must learn to control one's emotions and broaden one's perspective!
