In a high-end cafe.
“Zhou Yunshan from the Zhou Family?” Chu Zhou looked at the square-faced
mmacue-agea man opposite mm m conruslon ana sama, “1 aon’t tmnK 1 Know you!”
“Zhou Tong is my nephew!”
Zhou Yunshan slowly spat out a sentence.
Chu Zhou’s gaze froze.
“Zhou Tong and I do have some conflicts, but his death in the wilderness town has nothing to do with me… Could it be that the Zhou Family wants to vent their anger on me?”
Chu Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Yunshan coldly, his tone teasing.
He did not even know that Zhou Tong had been accidentally killed by Shi Meng and him in the town.
He only thought that Zhou Tong had died at the hands of a monster, been killed by a humanoid monster, or been secretly killed by other students…
In short, it had nothing to do with him.
The Zhou Family had come looking for him now, as if they wanted to avenge Zhou Tong.
He was immediately prepared to fall out with Zhou Yunshan.
The current him was not the same as before.
He was an Awakening Realm martial artist.
Moreover, his combat strength was comparable to an intermediate Awakening Realm martial artist.
The Zhou Family was just an ordinary small family. There might not be anyone in the Zhou Family who was his match.
Moreover, even if someone in the Zhou Family was stronger than him, they probably wouldn’t dare to attack him openly.
Don’t forget that he was still a martial artist at the Battleaxe martial arts school.
The Battleaxe Martial arts school was not a joke.
As long as Chu Zhou did not commit any crimes and betrayed humanity..
The Battleaxe Martial arts school would pursue the matter no matter which faction or martial artist in the world dared to attack him openly.
A small Zhou Family was not worth mentioning compared to a behemoth like the Battleaxe Martial arts school that dominated the world.
These were Chu Zhou’s confidence now.
Zhou Yunshan stared at Chu Zhou. When he saw Chu Zhou’s fearless and confident expression, he could not help but sigh in his heart. This Chu Zhou was indeed not the normal high school student from more than a month ago.
Instead, it was a true dragon that had already taken off.
A 17 -year-old Awakening Realm martial artist!
He understood the weight of it after thinking about it for a short while.
Moreover, he had seen Chu Zhou’s name on the list of newcomers posted on the official website of the Battleaxe Martial arts school not long ago.
Chu Zhou was indeed not someone their Zhou Family could afford to offend.
“Chu Zhou, I think you’ve misunderstood my intentions!”
A gentle smile appeared on Zhou Yunshan’s face.
“Our Zhou Family has already investigated clearly. Zhou Tong unfortunately died in the hands of a humanoid monster during the Elite Trial. It has nothing to do with you.”
“I’m not here to cause trouble for you.”
“Then why are you looking for me?” Chu Zhou was immediately puzzled.
“I know that Zhou Tong had a big misunderstanding with you during school and caused you a lot of trouble.”
“Zhou Tong might be dead now… But the misunderstanding has yet to be resolved!”
“Therefore, I’m here on behalf of Zhou Tong to apologize to you and hope to resolve the misunderstanding and reach a reconciliation with you!”
Zhou Yunshan said sincerely.
“Reconcile?”
Chu Zhou was slightly stunned and smiled.
He vaguely understood the Zhou Family’s intentions.
The Zhou Family must know that he had already become an Awakening Realm martial artist and very likely knew that he had joined the Battleaxe Martial arts school.
Therefore, they did not want to continue making enemies with him because of Zhou Tong.
This was to prevent him from seeking revenge from the Zhou Family when he really rises up in the future.
This was a very common method for many families.
Chu Zhou thought for a moment. It was not bad to reconcile with the Zhou Family.
Zhou Tong, who had offended him, had already died in the elite trial. He did not have much animosity towards the rest of the Zhou Family.
Most importantly, even if he was unwilling to reconcile, he could not do anything to the Zhou Family now.
The Zhou Family could not attack him for no reason. Similarly, he could not attack the Zhou Family for no reason.
Society still had to abide by the law.
In that case, it was better to have one less enemy.
This was to prevent the Zhou Family from harming his father and sister when he went to the wilderness to hunt monsters.
He would be able to grow quickly given some time.
At that time, wouldn’t he be able to control the Zhou Family easily? “How do you want to reconcile?” Chu Zhou looked at Zhou Yunshan expressionlessly
“This is a token of our Zhou Family. I hope you can accept it, Chu Zhou.” Zhou Yunshan placed an envelope on the table and slowly pushed it in front of
Chu Zhou.
Chu Zhou opened the envelope and found a cash cheque inside.
“Three million Alliance Dollars?” Chu Zhou was slightly stunned. Three million Alliance Dollars was not a huge sum to him now, but it was still an astronomical figure to ordinary people.
It was not a small sum even for Awakening Realm martial artists.
“I hope Chu Zhou can reconcile with our Zhou Family!” Zhou Yunshan said sincerely.
Chu Zhou accepted the three million Alliance Dollars that he had picked up for free.
However, he did not want the cheque!
He was too lazy to go to the bank to withdraw the money himself.
He put the cheque back in the envelope.
“This is my martial artist identity number. You can transfer it directly to my martial artist identity number’s account!”
Chu Zhou quickly read out his martial artist identity number.
Zhou Yunshan’s heart tightened when he saw Chu Zhou put the cheque back into the envelope.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Chu Zhou’s words.
“Okay!”
Zhou Yunshan immediately picked up his phone, entered the online banking system, and began to transfer money.
Buzz!
Soon, Chu Zhou’s phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw a notification of three million Alliance Dollars entering his account.
After the transfer, a relaxed smile appeared on Zhou Yunshan’s face.
This matter was finally resolved perfectly.
Their Zhou Family would have a headache if Chu Zhou did not accept the money.
At that time, they had to think of a way to destroy Chu Zhou, their potential enemy, without letting the Battleaxe Martial arts school discover any traces.
Putting aside whether they could successfully kill Chu Zhou,
Even if he succeeded, there would be endless trouble in the future.
How could it be easy to hide from a behemoth like the Battleaxe Martial arts school?
Let bygones be bygones.
“Perhaps I can take the opportunity to do Chu Zhou a favor.”
Zhou Yunshan thought to himself. He pondered for a moment and said,
“Chu Zhou, you should know the Jin family, right?” The Jin family?
Could he be referring to Jin Zhennan’s family?
Chu Zhou frowned, and a sharp killing intent flashed across his eyes.
He really hated the Jin Family, unlike the Zhou Family.
Jin Zhennan wanted to replace his guaranteed spot.
Jin Jingmao, the former Academic Director, not only wanted to use his position to take away his guaranteed spot and help Jin Zhennan achieve his goal, he even hired three people to assassinate him.
Chu Zhou engraved these things in his heart.
He was not going to let Jin Jingmao and the Jin Family off easily even if Jin Zhennan was already dead.
“What do you want to say?” Chu Zhou stared at Zhou Yunshan.
Zhou Yunshan: “… I just want to tell you that Jin Jingwu from the Jin family contacted me a few days ago, hinting that he wants to join forces with me to kill you.” Mhm?
Kill me?
Killing intent condensed in Chu Zhou’s eyes.
“The Jin Family was originally an ordinary family doing business. They had only gradually risen in status after a martial artist like Jin Jingwu appeared…”
Zhou Yunshan introduced the Jin Family to Chu Zhou.
Chu Zhou also listened carefully.
“Speaking of which, Jin Jingwu is only an ordinary Beginner Awakening Realm martial artist to begin with. There’s nothing special about him.”
“However, a year and a half ago, he met with some fortuitous encounter. In just a year and a half, he advanced from a Beginner Awakening Realm martial artist to an Advanced Awakening Realm martial artist.”
“Moreover, he seems to be half a step into the Extraordinary Realm…’
Zhou Yunshan continued.
Half a step into the Extraordinary Realm?
Hearing this, Chu Zhou became serious.
He might be very confident but he was not arrogant.
He knew very well that the current him was probably far from being Jin Jingwu’s match.
If Jin Jingvvu wanted to kill him, he was in a very dangerous situation.
What was the point even if Jin Jingwu was exposed to have killed him and sentenced to death by the Battleaxe Martial arts school?
“Fortunately, I have 125 million Alliance Dollars on me now… With this money, I can buy lord-level monster meat, genetic nutritional medicine, and other potions to quickly accumulate attribute points and improve my breathing techniques and combat techniques…
“A week should be enough for me to advance to an Intermediate Awakening
Realm martial artist or even an Advanced Awakening Realm martial artist.” “At that time, I won’t be afraid even if Jin Jingwu attacks me!”
Chu Zhou thought of the huge sum of money in the martial artist account and immediately felt at ease.
Zhou Yunshan kept staring at Chu Zhou and clearly saw the change in his expression.
At first, when Chu Zhou found out about Jin Jingwu’s strength and killing intent, his expression became a little solemn, but he quickly relaxed. “Could it be that he has some trump card to deal with Jin Jingwu?”
Zhou Yunshan was secretly shocked.
If Chu Zhou could really deal with Jin Jingwu, he could also deal with their Zhou Family.
At this moment, he could not help but rejoice that he had chosen to reconcile with Chu Zhou.
Otherwise, their Zhou Family might be in big trouble in the future.
“The reason why Jin Jingvvu is dangerous is not only because of his strength, but also because he is an unscrupulous person.”
“He’s the leader of the Blood Shadow Squat Team now, but many people know that the Blood Shadow Squat led by Jin Jingwu is a group of bandits with no bottom line.”
“They have snatched the prey of other martial artists’ teams in the wilderness many times. They might even have secretly framed other martial artists…”
“It’s just that they’ve been hiding it very well and haven’t been found with evidence.”
“Now that he wants to kill you, you have to be careful!”
Zhou Yunshan told Chu Zhou all the information about Jin Jingwu.
“Jin Jingwu? I’ll remember it. Thank you for the reminder!” This time, Chu Zhou was much more polite.
“Then I’m leaving… If you need my help in the future, feel free to contact me!”
Zhou Yunshan smiled in satisfaction when he saw Chu Zhou’s change in attitude.
This time, their Zhou Family chose to reconcile with Chu Zhou. Not only did they resolve the future trouble, they might even obtain the friendship of a future expert.
Zhou Yunshan stood up and left.
“Hehe, the Jin Family’s Jin Jingwu? You want to kill me? I want to see how you can kill me!”
Chu Zhou looked in the direction where Zhou Yunshan had disappeared, his eyes cold.
The Jin family.
In a secret room.
A half-naked figure covered in scars was soaking in a foot-wide blood pool. His eyes were closed as he silently cultivated the breathing technique.
As he breathed, there was the sound of air flowing.
The blood in the blood pool seemed to be fading bit by bit.
Suddenly, the man opened his eyes. Bloodthirsty scarlet flashed in the depths of his eyes.
“Chu Zhou, die!”
He spat out the three words word by word. A thick mist of cold killing intent seeped out..
