Son, Put Your Father To The Test (FF)

The once bustling transaction hall was now eerily deserted.

All the customers had fled.

Even the staff were on edge, trembling with fear. If it weren't for Wanbao Trading Company's deep background, ensuring the Dragon Snake Gang wouldn't dare cause too much trouble, they would have bolted long ago.

"Master Qin, p-please… have some tea."

The manager of the service hall, a middle-aged man, nervously brought a cup of tea to Qin Zi.

Although he wished he could beat this troublemaker to a pulp, he had no choice but to treat him with respect.

While Wanbao Trading Company was indeed a massive enterprise, this was just a housing service hall, and he was not a person of great authority.

This mysterious young man had easily killed the Dragon Snake Gang's young master, indicating his own powerful background!!

Such a person was best not to offend.

"Thank you."

Qin Zi took the cup, gave the man a slight smile, and pretended to take a sip, maintaining his composure.

He acted like a refined noble.

He was steady.

In some ways, he was even steadier than his father, Qin Chuan.

At least, Qin Chuan knew he wasn't truly invincible, but in Qin Zi's eyes… his father was invincible!!

Even his unfathomable master had said so—how could there be any doubt?

My father is invincible!!

Given that, what was there to fear?

My father is right outside; who could do anything to me today? Even the emperor himself would have to treat me with respect!

"Master Qin, you were quite impulsive today. Although the Dragon Snake Gang's young master maliciously bid against you, his crime didn't warrant death," the middle-aged manager whispered.

"Didn't you see that he struck first?" Qin Zi raised an eyebrow, looking at the manager.

"That's true, but…"

"No buts!!"

Qin Zi suddenly smashed the teacup into pieces, then stood up from his chair, glaring at the manager with a sharp gaze.

"If he provoked me and attacked first, why shouldn't I kill him?"

"Is it because he's the young master of the so-called Dragon Snake Gang that I should swallow my pride and bow my head to him?!"

The manager trembled violently, instinctively stepping back a few paces.

At that moment, he realized that this young man had absolutely no regard for the Dragon Snake Gang!

In other words, this boy's background was undoubtedly much stronger than the Dragon Snake Gang's, and not just by a small margin…

"Who killed my son?!"

Just then, a furious roar filled with murderous intent echoed through the hall, and a large group of people stormed in.

Leading them was a burly man dressed in a fur coat, a scar running across his face, giving him a menacing appearance.

This was the leader of the Dragon Snake Gang!

His eyes swept the hall like a hawk, finally landing on Qin Zi. In a cold voice, he demanded, "Little brat, did you kill my son?"

"And if I did?"

Qin Zi raised his head, speaking calmly.

Inside, he was a little nervous.

But he knew he couldn't show weakness. His father was watching him from the shadows—he couldn't disappoint him! "Hmm? You seem confident. Do you think I won't dare to kill you?"

The Dragon Snake Gang leader narrowed his eyes, his murderous intent growing even stronger.

"I believe you have the guts, but… you don't have the strength," Qin Zi replied with a calm demeanor.

"You impudent brat! Today, no matter what background you have, I'll chop you into pieces!!"

The leader of the Dragon Snake Gang roared, lifting a large ringed saber and charging at Qin Zi.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

His aura was overwhelming. As he passed, the counters on either side of him exploded, creating a terrifying scene.

"Die!!"

He leaped into the air, gripping his saber with both hands, and brought it down with the force to split mountains.

Killing a True Essence Realm ant didn't require such effort, but he wanted this brat to feel the utmost terror before he died!

"Don't worry, I'll chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs. I've done it many times before, so you can be sure—"

He sneered, but before he could finish, his eyes widened in shock, his entire body freezing.

Because he realized…

His saber had been caught!

A tall young man in white stood before him, holding the blade with his right hand, lifting him and the saber into the air.

"Absolutely what?"

Qin Chuan looked at him with interest, speaking softly.

"I… I…"

The Dragon Snake Gang leader stammered. His bravado was only good if he could back it up.

When you're outmatched, even talking becomes difficult.

"Bang!"

Qin Chuan shook his right hand, releasing a surge of immense power. The air exploded, and the Dragon Snake Gang leader was sent flying.

"Pfft!"

He landed hard, coughing up blood, and looked at Qin Chuan in terror.

A mere flick of the wrist had severely injured him—this was at least a third-level Pure Yang expert, if not stronger!

"What… what do you want?"

The Dragon Snake Gang leader clutched his chest, eyeing Qin Chuan warily.

"You were just trying to kill my son, and you ask what I want? Shouldn't I be asking you that?"

Qin Chuan replied coldly.

"He killed my son first!" the gang leader gritted his teeth.

"Why did he kill your son?" Qin Chuan asked.

"This!" The gang leader was at a loss for words.

Qin Chuan sneered and said, "Why? Because in your mind, it's natural for your son to bully others, but no one can bully him, right?"

"I…" The gang leader gritted his teeth.

"Heh, it's a good mindset."

Qin Chuan suddenly smiled and said, "In this world, not everything has to make sense—I can agree with that."

But then his gaze turned sharp: "However… it seems you don't have the power to act so unreasonably!!"

Boom! As he spoke, an overwhelming pressure surged forth, crashing down on the Dragon Snake Gang members.

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft!"

Everyone from the Dragon Snake Gang felt an irresistible force slam into them, sending them flying out of the hall, coughing up blood.

"I don't want to kill anyone today, so I suggest you behave. Otherwise… don't blame me for eradicating you!"

Qin Chuan said coldly toward the outside.

The sound of panicked scrambling followed, indicating that the Dragon Snake Gang members were fleeing in terror.

"Are you alright?"

Qin Chuan turned to Qin Zi and asked.

"I-I'm fine."

Qin Zi looked up, his eyes burning with admiration for his father—his dad was truly strong! "This lord, I'm the manager here, my name is Lu Ming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you properly, please forgive me…"

The middle-aged manager approached cautiously, speaking with utmost respect.

"Help me choose a house."

Qin Chuan said calmly.

"Right away, please wait a moment!"

The manager sighed in relief. He had feared this man would question him about what had just happened—after all, he had confined this man's son earlier.

Soon, maids brought in refreshments.

Qin Zi instinctively reached for the tea.

But Qin Chuan gave him a look.

Immediately, he coughed lightly and quietly set the cup down—the lesson from the Xunyang City Lord's mansion was still fresh in his memory.

Caution, always be cautious! Not long after, the middle-aged manager returned, followed by several maids, each carrying a courtyard model.

"Hmm, I didn't see these earlier."

Qin Zi looked surprised; these courtyards were even more luxurious than the one he had chosen before, with better layouts.

"Hehe, these are specially prepared by Wanbao Trading Company for Pure Yang Realm experts… a complimentary gift."

The manager said with a smile.

"Complimentary?!"

Qin Zi's eyes lit up—such a large and luxurious estate must be worth a fortune.

Qin Chuan sighed inwardly, knowing that complimentary gifts were often the most costly.

It's easy to repay money, but favors are hard to return.

Wanbao Trading Company was indeed generous, willing to invest so much in spreading their net of goodwill.

Just in Minghao City alone, who knows how many mansions they had given away, let alone across the Jiuyang Kingdom? No wonder they were said to have deep roots and vast connections—this network was too extensive!

"Well then… thank you."

Qin Chuan thought for a moment, then calmly chose a spacious and beautifully landscaped courtyard.

Originally, he didn't want to accept such a gift.

But the mansion didn't have a listed price, and it looked quite expensive.

If he insisted on paying and they then named a price he couldn't afford…

Well, then he wouldn't be able to buy it, and it would be utterly embarrassing!

Forget it, a complimentary mansion sounds pretty good.
