Chapter 146: The Guest Who Arrives in the Dead of Night, The Grief of the Phoenix
Phoenix was overwhelmed with sorrow and anger, her eyes red and wet, holding her trembling mother with immense fury. But she knew very well that she was no match for the Celestial Wolf, and could only vent her inner rage through words.
As she spoke, she looked back, but didn't see Su Chen's figure. Her heart grew anxious.
Where did that guy go at such a critical moment?
"Miss Cang, I think you're mistaken. The Cang Family is no longer under your control."
Celestial Wolf said with a cold smile.
"What do you mean?"
Phoenix felt a pang of unease, and couldn't help but hold her mother tighter and took two steps back. The aura of the Celestial Wolf became aggressive, and those drunken, fierce death warriors all stared at Phoenix with a bloodthirsty look, their expressions ferocious.
"Helping you assassinate Nalan Qing was far more dangerous than defecting, so we smartly chose to ally with the Nalan Clan. Hehehe!"
Celestial Wolf boldly stared at Phoenix, sneering incessantly.
Phoenix never expected even the Snow Wolf Death Squad would betray her and turn to the Nalan Clan. Her heart was filled with both shock and anger, yet she felt as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat, leaving her speechless with rage!
"Yan'Er…"
An old voice entered her ears, causing Phoenix's delicate body to tremble. She looked at her father, Cang Qu, who was shedding tears, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, crying out, "Father, why is this happening? Didn't you say they were all reliable?"
Cang Qu smiled bitterly, tears staining his blurry eyes, shaking his head and sighing: "It's all my fault, my fault for not listening to your advice, which led to today's disaster!"
"Yan'Er, everything valuable in the house has been seized by Celestial Wolf and his men. If we hadn't stubbornly refused to reveal the Spirit Refining Pearl's hiding place, we would've been killed by them already!"
Phoenix's mother said in a trembling voice.
Phoenix suddenly raised her head, glaring coldly at the Celestial Wolf, and angrily shouted: "Celestial Wolf! You ungrateful scoundrel, aren't you afraid of divine retribution!"
"Hahaha! Divine retribution? I, Celestial Wolf, have been walking the line between life and death, having climbed mountains of knives and crossed seas of oil. Do I care about more thrilling ways to die? Miss Cang, it's only been over half a month, and you've become more naïve?"
Celestial Wolf laughed maniacally, pleased with himself.
Phoenix's face turned pale as she tried to suppress her inner anger, but she could no longer hold it back, her fury breaking the dam!
"Get out! Get out of the Cang Family! Take your treacherous brothers with you!"
"Oh, are you exercising your authority as the young lady to drive us away?"
Celestial Wolf said coldly through clenched teeth, his wolf-like gaze making the furious Phoenix's heart tremble!
"You…"
Just as the Celestial Wolf and his group burst into arrogant laughter, as Phoenix and her parents felt despair, a sound of footsteps suddenly echoed through the empty corridor.
"Su Chen!"
Phoenix jolted with excitement, a flush of delight on her pretty face!
"Who is Su Chen?"
Seeing his daughter so excited, Cang Qu's expression was one of confusion.
"Father, it's the person who will save us, it's the person who will save us!"
Phoenix exclaimed joyfully, then hugged her mother and walked toward the corridor. Celestial Wolf and his group looked coldly at the corridor entrance, their expressions somewhat frozen.
Who would dare at this time to appear before their intoxicated and bloodthirsty brothers?
Su Chen emerged from the corridor's darkness, appearing before everyone under many piercing gazes. Seeing so many people, he seemed quite surprised, a hint of bewilderment on his face, "What, were you all waiting here for me?"
Phoenix could no longer hold back her grievance and, with a cry, ran over like a swaying swallow, into Su Chen's embrace!
Su Chen's body trembled, then his right hand slowly climbed to Phoenix's warm and trembling jade back, gently patting her, speaking softly: "Don't cry, what's wrong, tell me."
"As of today, the Cang Family is utterly ruined! There's no place for us in Muni City anymore!"
Phoenix's tears fell like rain.
Su Chen's eyes narrowed, his gaze immediately fixed on the face of Celestial Wolf and his group, his formerly gentle demeanor instantly turning cold!
He had never seen Phoenix crying so heartbreakingly, especially in her own home. Feeling the trembling of her delicate body, Su Chen's heart sank to the bottom.
After comforting her for a while, he gently pulled Phoenix aside, wiped away her tear stains, and suppressed the sudden chill rising in his heart, saying: "Tell me, is it those people?"
Phoenix wrinkled her pretty nose, tears glistening in her eyes, nodding: "Yes, it's them…"
Su Chen snorted coldly, protecting Phoenix behind him, then stepped forward with a cold and deep gaze.
This action immediately surprised the still-sober Celestial Wolf. Could this boy truly have absolute confidence in defeating him despite being outnumbered?
"Boy, let me give you a piece of advice, don't meddle in things that don't concern you, or face the consequences yourself."
Celestial Wolf coldly warned.
In his opinion, no matter how strong this ridiculously young man was, how could he possibly take on ten or so ruthless death warriors? Especially when they were a group of men genuinely unrestrained by anything after drinking.
But he was wrong. Su Chen's expression was indifferent, extending his right hand to point at Celestial Wolf and his brothers, his tone even more detached: "Since you're here, stay forever."
"You…what do you mean! You little brat! Believe or not, I'll skin you alive?"
A fierce man behind Celestial Wolf, holding a large wine cup, roared!
The wine cup shattered in his grip, the bright red wine splattering all over his face, adding a more terrifying menacing quality. Yet, Su Chen only turned colder, with a flash of light in his eyes, he unexpectedly shot toward the fierce man!
