Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 557 - 556

Chapter 557: 556

The girl in the distance also furrowed her brows, looking at Su Yang in amazement, not knowing what exactly Su Yang was up to.

Daring to speak about the Seven Great Families like this in Zifeng City, what’s the difference between this and seeking death?

Su Yang, however, remained calm, glancing at the leading man and said, "I simply have this doubt, but unexpectedly, you really don’t speak with reason, not even allowing people to question. What, do you think by covering your ears and shutting everyone’s mouth, you’re being reasonable? You’re not only losing face for yourself, but also for the Seven Great Families!"

The complexion of the leading man changed instantly, for Su Yang’s words were indeed a bit too bold. If this were to reach the Seven Great Families and they felt that he was tarnishing their reputation outside, he wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.

"I didn’t say you couldn’t ask!" the leading man said gravely, "But you have to take responsibility for what you’ve said. The Seven Great Families have always acted fairly and justly, yet you dare to accuse them of being unreasonable. Hmph, if you can’t produce any proof today, I will not let you off!"

"Very well!" Su Yang spoke loudly, "Just now, you also said that the Seven Great Families don’t allow them to set up stalls here..."

"Yes, but, the Seven Great Families provided them with work opportunities in the mountains!" the leading man hastily replied, "Moreover, the earnings are much higher than outside. Haven’t the Seven Great Families considered enough for them?"

"However, this big brother also said just now. If he goes into the mountains, then there would be no one to take care of his mother," Su Yang replied coldly, looking at the leading man, "You say the Seven Great Families are very thorough in their considerations, so let me ask you, is this what you call thorough?"

The leading man was instantly at a loss for words, grinding his teeth and said, "This is a special case, the Seven Great Families can’t possibly think of every individual!"

"Since this is a special case, then it should be treated especially," Su Yang said. "He can’t go into the mountains to work, the Seven Great Families don’t consider his livelihood afterward, and yet they don’t allow him to set up a stall here, cutting off his source of livelihood. In such a situation, don’t you think the Seven Great Families are being a bit unreasonable?"

"This..." The leading man was dumbfounded, how should he respond to this?

Actually, when they used to swagger around and bully others here, the people of this town didn’t dare to say anything, and no one had ever dared to rebut them like this. Therefore, he never had to think about this matter of being reasonable or not.

Now, with Su Yang questioning him on the spot, he simply had no answer.

After a moment of silence, the leading man became enraged and shouted, "Where the hell did you come from, to come here and deliberately slander the Seven Great Families, you’re simply courting death! Beat him up for me!"

The crowd behind him immediately rushed forward, and the girl in the distance also clenched her hands, ready to lend a hand.

Just at this moment, a cold sneer came from among the crowd, "Before arriving in Zifeng City, I had no idea that the Seven Great Families were so domineering in their dealings here!"

"Who? Who the hell spoke!" The leading man turned his head in anger, searching around.

With a smack, a slap landed on the man’s face. Right after that, a refined young man walked over, smiling lightly, "This young master here!"

"You dare to hit me?" The man flew into a rage, raising his hand to strike back.

The young man was even more decisive, delivering several smacks to the man’s face with his hand, hitting him until he bled from the mouth.

"I... I’ll fuck your mother..." The man bellowed angrily, "Beat him to death..."

His followers immediately surged forward, but just then, several people ran out from behind the young man, knocking all of those men to the ground.

The leading man was flabbergasted, staring at the young man with a trembling voice, "You... who are you? I’m working for the Seven Great Families, you... you dare hit me..."

"So what about the Seven Great Families!" The young man said proudly, "Go back and tell Feng Wenchuan that Zhao Wunian of the Zhao Family of Yangchuan has arrived!"

"Zhao Wunian of Yangchuan?" The man’s face changed abruptly, exclaiming, "You... you are the eldest young master of the Zhao Family of Yangchuan?"

Many people around also exclaimed, showing that Zhao Wunian’s name was indeed well-known here.

Zhao Wunian wore a haughty expression, sneered, "Now that you know who I am, aren’t you going to kneel?"

"I... I belong to the Seven Great Families..." The leading man still tried to resist, but seeing Zhao Wunian raise his hand, he immediately fell to his knees with a thud and pleaded in a trembling voice, "Spare... spare me please..."

"Trash!" Zhao Wunian cursed, paying no further attention to the man, turning to Su Yang, and asked with interest, "I haven’t had the pleasure to ask this friend’s honorable name?"

"My surname is Su!" Su Yang replied calmly, already noticing that the girl had walked away shortly after Zhao Wunian appeared.

"It turns out to be Brother Su!" Zhao Wunian laughed, "Brother Su must not be from Zifeng City, right? There really aren’t many who dare to confront the Seven Great Families in Zifeng City!"

Su Yang smiled lightly, "I come from Pingnan Province."

"Oh!" Zhao Wunian smiled faintly, "Not many from Pingnan Province come here. Brother Su, are you here for that thing as well?"

Su Yang’s heart stirred, glancing at Zhao Wunian. Zhao Wunian was in the Fusion Realm, so Su Yang could not discern anything from him. But the girl following Zhao Wunian was much easier to read.

Using the Soul Searching Technique, Su Yang furrowed his brow. Zhao Wunian and his group had come to Zifeng City also in search of medicine. The medicine they were looking for, could it be the same purpose as that girl’s from before?

Su Yang had originally planned to follow the girl to see what the situation was, but it was not suitable to follow her secretly all the time. Now that Zhao Wunian appeared, Su Yang suddenly had another idea; perhaps, he could follow them into the mountains.

With that thought, Su Yang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhao speaks as if he’s here for that thing as well!"

"Hahaha..." Zhao Wunian laughed heartily, "At this time, there are few who come here not for that thing. However, I feel Brother Su and I are fated, why don’t we travel together? It would be safer to watch out for each other!"

Su Yang looked at Zhao Wunian, speaking softly, "With Brother Zhao having so many people, taking me with you, aren’t I just taking advantage of you?"

"Brother Su is joking!" Zhao Wunian laughed, "The road into the mountains is inherently dangerous, and there are many uncertainties on the mountain. The more people traveling together, the safer it is. I’m mainly looking for compatible people to travel with, which increases our safety. After all, the more the merrier, right?"

Looking convinced, Su Yang nodded, "Since Brother Zhao says so, then I’ll take you up on your kind offer!"
