Urban Soldier Young Master

Hearing Chu Ge's words, Liang Chen felt a tingle at the back of his head, his pupils shrank violently, and he shook his head like he'd taken a T-pill, "No, no, I didn't mean that."

"Alright, then you'll owe me for this, let's talk about something else first."

Seeing Liang Chen's relief, it was clear he had completely calmed down, and Chu Ge couldn't help but smile slightly.

"You go back and hand over what you have in your pocket to Chen Yujie's father. Tell him this matter ends here. I, Chu Ge, admit defeat. He can be the big boss, and I'll be the little commoner. From now on, we'll mind our own business and not interfere with each other."

Liang Chen's eye twitched twice, thinking to himself, is this how someone admits defeat? This way of backing down is way too arrogant, right? It's clearly giving off a vibe of, "I don't want to fuss with you anymore, so you'd better knock it off, alright?"

Of course, Liang Chen only said this to himself, and after a slight hesitation, he nodded.

"I can see, you're also a proud guy. You're probably planning to find a few experts to come after me for revenge, right?"

Liang Chen's gaze shifted, and he didn't respond.

Chu Ge shook his head speechlessly and reached out to poke Liang Chen's forehead.

"I say, are you stupid? Since you've already admitted defeat, can't you go all the way with it? Even if you're irked, you shouldn't show it on your face, right?"

Liang Chen was startled; he didn't think he was being that obvious, right?

"Pretend to be magnanimous; saying you won't do anything won't kill you. With such flimsy skills and no scheming, you should stay home quietly instead of strutting around. Aren't you afraid I'll get angry and kill you here?"

Liang Chen's face turned increasingly bad, alternating between pale and dark hues.

If it were earlier, Liang Chen would have thought Chu Ge was bluffing and wouldn't dare to actually harm him, but now he didn't think so. This guy changes moods faster than flipping a book, and he probably really could do such a thing.

Despite Chu Ge's finger being like a small iron rod, painfully poking Liang Chen's forehead, causing him to lean back constantly, he remained still, trying his best to maintain his balance, much like a schoolboy getting scolded for a mistake, too angry to speak.

"Sigh... you're not my grandson, and you won't listen to me anyway, so why am I telling you this?"

After poking Liang Chen a few times, Chu Ge found it a bit dull, so he moved his finger away from his forehead, muttering to himself.

"Alright then, let me tell you something serious, listen carefully."

Chu Ge's eyes sharpened, and Liang Chen felt his heart leap into his throat again. During this brief moment, his emotions were like a roller coaster, really exhausting him.

When Liang Chen instinctively met Chu Ge's gaze, Chu Ge continued his words.

"Perhaps your family is strong, but it's not so easy to crush me. Even if you all decide to go all out over such a trivial matter and insist on dealing with me, and succeed, the consequences awaiting you would be unbearable."

Chu Ge's voice and expression were calm, but hearing this made Liang Chen feel deeply oppressed. It was as if Chu Ge had once again gripped his throat, making it hard for him to breathe.

Biting his lip, Liang Chen nodded, "Alright, I'll remember your words, can I leave now?"

"Sure, although there's still a lot between us, as long as you don't show up in front of me again, we'll call it even."

Liang Chen exhaled, moved past Chu Ge, and when he reached the door, his hesitant steps finally stopped. He turned back to look at Chu Ge and asked a question that had grown increasingly strong in his heart.

"Who... exactly are you?"

Chu Ge smiled lightly, offering no answer.

Liang Chen felt a bit let down, but not too surprised. After hesitating a moment, he asked another question that concerned him more.

"Then... can I ask, what exactly did you mean by the consequences we can't bear?"

Chu Ge shrugged, looked at Liang Chen with a faint smile, "Who knows, maybe the worst you can imagine?"

Liang Chen's heart tightened; he couldn't stand such ambiguous answers. He was almost obsessively eager for a definite response; otherwise, the feeling was too oppressive.

After a few seconds of silence, although he thought it was impossible and even ridiculous, Liang Chen voiced what he considered the worst-case scenario.

"Do you mean... annihilation?"

"Annihilation? Who knows what might happen. If you say so, then maybe. Anyway, if I died, I wouldn't see it anyway, who cares about the flood afterward?"

Chu Ge scratched his head, and whether in action or tone, he was almost identical to Liang Chen when talking about those two people he killed.

The only difference was, in Liang Chen's words, they were two ordinary people, but in Chu Ge's mention, it was an Ancient Martial Clan with profound heritage and incredible strength that had been passed down for countless generations.

Between the two, there seemed to be no comparison at all, yet Chu Ge spoke so naturally.

Liang Chen's expression froze, he gave Chu Ge a deep look, and finally said nothing more, leaving Chu Ge's sight with an inexplicable mix of emotions.

Standing in the empty room, watching Liang Chen's slightly staggering figure recede from the window, Chu Ge finally let out a long sigh of relief.

If nothing unexpected happens, this matter should end here.

As long as Liang Chen returns the memory card to Chen Zhihao, that video will forever disappear from this world, and even if Chen Yujie still harbors resentment against him, it should be difficult to gain the support of his father, Chen Zhihao.

Since Chen Zhihao was valued by an Ancient Martial Clan, theoretically, he shouldn't be a fool. Judging by all the signs so far, he should be able to make a wise decision.

As for the Liang Family behind the Chen Family in the provincial city, there is actually no substantive conflict between them. Even if he caused Liang Chen some minor physical suffering, it didn't really harm him much.

Moreover, having instilled sufficient psychological intimidation in Liang Chen, the kid was indeed scared. As long as he becomes a little more prudent, he shouldn't act recklessly.

Thinking of the scared look on Liang Chen's face earlier, Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh again. Probably when he threw Liang Chen out of the window, the guy truly believed he had murderous intent, right?

In reality, Chu Ge knew well, estimating his distance from the window accurately and controlling the strength in his hands perfectly; otherwise, how could Liang Chen have had the chance to grab the windowsill?

As for the two deliberate missteps Chu Ge took afterward, they were merely tactics to increase psychological pressure on Liang Chen.

At first, the kid must have thought, given his abilities, he could completely dodge Chu Ge's descending right foot, and then Chu Ge showed him he was overthinking it.

Liang Chen's right hand might have seemed pitiful, but actually, Chu Ge was mindful when stepping down. He only caused Liang Chen piercing pain without injuring his bones, and given Liang Chen's physical condition, a little rest would see him recover completely.

Moreover, considering the Liang Family is an Ancient Martial Clan, handling minor injuries like these should be second nature, right?

Reflecting on the events again, Chu Ge stretched contentedly, thinking in a cheerful mood, "Hmm, tonight I can go home and sleep soundly cuddling my wife."

"He's bluffing, he's bluffing, he's bluffing..."

Walking out of the building in a daze, Liang Chen was like hypnotizing himself, repeatedly muttering this phrase, his senses dulled considerably. Even the right hand that had been repeatedly stomped by Chu Ge was now swollen and battered, yet it seemed not to hurt so much anymore.

Leaving the construction site, Liang Chen wandered aimlessly in the deep night, unaware of how far he walked until he noticed he was in a remote, dilapidated area awaiting demolition, amid debris and ruins, occasionally marked by large, blood-red circles and the glaring word "Demolish."

For some reason, when Liang Chen saw this sight, his right eyelid twitched fiercely. The blood-red color and the large "Demolish" seemed to signify something, appearing incredibly unsettling.

Almost involuntarily, Liang Chen connected this desolate scene with the word "annihilation," a feeling he couldn't quite describe but certainly ominous.

Finding a random stone, Liang Chen didn't care about dirtying his pants and sat down in a slump, letting out a long sigh.

Was he...really just bluffing?

Even if it was just bluffing, not everyone has the guts to bluff so big, right?

Especially when Liang Chen stared at a blood-red "Demolish" for a few seconds, a terrifying image actually emerged in his mind.

The great Liang Family collapsing, becoming as desolate as this place, riddled with devastation. Even more terrifying, the image was filled with corpses and blood everywhere!

Just in time, a gust of autumn wind blew by, adding a touch of bleakness and chill to the ruins under the night sky.

Unconsciously, Liang Chen shivered, snapping out of the nightmarish vision in his mind, leaping up from the stone, and furrowing his brows tightly.

No, I absolutely cannot let this happen. Even if there's a ninety-nine percent chance he's just bluffing, even if there's only a one percent...no, even a 0.1 percent, or even a 0.01 percent possibility, I won't let the family become enemies with Chu Ge, or the forces he relies on!

At this moment, Liang Chen seemed to mature significantly, no longer the reckless youth oblivious to the world, placing no one in his eyes, but becoming someone who genuinely begins to consider his family, gaining a slight sense of the bigger picture.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, an almost inaudible whistling sound reached Liang Chen's ears as a woman holding a delicate crossbow revealed a cold smile in the darkness.
