Chapter 508: Chapter 508: You Are Too Weak

In Tang Chuan’s eyes, even if she was just a toy to him, she was still *his* plaything. It was unacceptable for anyone else to touch her.

So, to him, Yang Qi was already a dead man.

Seeing the change in Tang Chuan’s expression, Yan Duo added fuel to the fire. "We couldn’t stand it, so we sent some people to beat that kid up, but they all disappeared. I suspect there’s a master helping him from the shadows. Young Master Tang, perhaps you should just let this go. You might not be his match."

"What did you say!"

Tang Chuan stared at Yan Duo, his terrifying gaze like that of a wild beast, making the man shiver in fear.

But Yan Duo knew he had succeeded. The more exceptional a person was, the more they hated being spoken ill of. His ploy to sow discord had worked perfectly.

"Alright, Young Master Tang, don’t be angry," Wang Teng said hurriedly. "How about we go out tonight to clear our heads? We’ll be at the Cloud Sea Hall in the Thunder City Grand Hotel. It’s the most luxurious private room in all of Jingnan Prefecture. We’ve specially prepared all kinds of renowned beauties for you. We guarantee you’ll like them."

"You know my tastes are picky. I’m not interested in ordinary women," Tang Chuan said with a dismissive wave.

"Don’t worry, Young Master Tang. Jingnan has many beauties. The ones we’ve prepared for you are all Top Grade, definitely a cut above those in Sea City," Wang Teng said with a smile.

"That’s more like it. See you tonight, then! I’ve heard of the Cloud Sea Hall. Whenever my old man comes to Jingnan Prefecture for business, he likes to entertain guests there," Tang Chuan replied with a smile.

"But... should we keep this from the Zhao Family?" Yan Duo asked.

"Keep what from them? They aren’t fools. They know exactly why I’m marrying Ye Qianqian. They wouldn’t dare say a word!" Tang Chuan said coldly. "Besides, that wench dares to dine with another man, so I’ll dine with other women. What’s wrong with that?"

"Nothing, nothing at all!"

This Tang Chuan is shameless, but he’s also incredibly domineering. If Ye Qianqian were to marry him, her prospects would be grim. What a pity; I never even had a chance with her, Wang Teng thought.

"Alright then, tonight it is. The Thunder City Grand Hotel, Cloud Sea Hall!"

After sending Wang Teng and the others off, Tang Chuan felt extremely displeased. He wanted to confront Ye Qianqian and ask her just which man she was messing around with. Immediately, he left with two masters in tow.

「The Zhao Family Residence.」

In the main hall, Zhao Huan sat with a deeply unhappy expression. Opposite her, Zhao Haishan and Wang Junru looked equally displeased.

Having learned of her daughter’s marriage arrangement, Zhao Huan had rushed over from Kang City. With her was Ye Zuisheng, who now sat beside her, his face also filled with rage.

"Dad, Mom, you’ve gone too far! You insisted on controlling my marriage, and now you want to control my daughter’s too! And Tang Chuan... you can’t be unaware of what kind of person he is, can you? How could you push my own daughter into a pit of fire?" Zhao Huan said, seething.

"What’s wrong with Tang Chuan? He is one of the heirs to the Tang Family! He’s also the grandson of Tang Yu, the King of Hidden Weapons and one of the Eight Kings of the World. Tang Yu is known as the Southern King, the Overlord of the South. Is marrying his grandson really an insult to your daughter?" Zhao Haishan said gravely.

"Dad, that’s what you always say! You said the same thing about my marriage! You just see us as tools to be used, don’t you? Isn’t that going too far? Besides, my daughter doesn’t need such a grand title. Ye Fei is already the chairman of the Qifei Group. Our family is living happily, and Qianqian is helping out at the company now. In the future, our family might not be any worse off than the Zhao Family. Heir to the Tang Family, grandson of the King of Hidden Weapons, Tang Yu—we don’t care about any of that. All I want is for my daughter to be happy. By the way, where is Qianqian?" Zhao Huan roared.

"She’s in the backyard. She cannot leave before the people from the Tang Family arrive," Wang Junru stated.

"Husband, go and check on our daughter!" Zhao Huan said, turning to Ye Zuisheng. "I’m going to have a proper talk with my parents!"

"Alright!" Ye Zuisheng glanced indifferently at Wang Junru and Zhao Haishan, said nothing more, and turned toward the backyard.

"I had no idea the Qifei Group was your family’s," Zhao Haishan sighed. "But even so, you’re no match for the Tang Family of Sea City. Let me give you some advice. No one is qualified to touch what the Sea City Tang Family has set their sights on. Otherwise, you will regret it. If you want your family to live in peace, don’t provoke them. Just obediently send Qianqian over. It’s not a given that she’ll be unhappy."

Wang Junru added, "We don’t know how the Tang Family found out about Qianqian’s existence, but now that she has been targeted, no one can do anything. In this life, you’ll just have to wrong your precious daughter. Whether she’s happy or not no longer matters. What matters is that if you offend the Tang Family of Sea City, not only will the Zhao Family be finished, but your family will be as well. In the past, I forced you to marry someone you didn’t like, but I did it for your own good. To this day, I don’t believe I was wrong. This time is different. This isn’t a matter of right or wrong. Even though I also think Tang Chuan is a poor choice, we cannot refuse this demand. Otherwise, there will be no way out for either of our families. You simply don’t understand how terrifying the Tang Family of Sea City truly is."

"Heh, you two are quite clever. The elders truly do have foresight!"

Suddenly, a voice echoed unexpectedly through the living room. There were only three people in the room; Ye Zuisheng and the servants had already left. How could there be a fourth voice?

The three of them jumped in alarm.

"Who’s there?"

Turning their heads, they saw a young man leaning against the doorway.

"You ask who I am? My name is Tang Chuan," he said with a smile as he walked over. "I came today to see for myself what the woman betrothed to my Tang Family looks like. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop; you were just being too careless."

"Young... Young Master Tang! When did you arrive? We didn’t notice you at all?"

The hearts of Zhao Haishan and Wang Junru trembled violently. They knew the members of the Tang Family were formidable, but they never expected this level of skill. Although the Zhao Family had the lowest martial prowess among the four families and six sects, Zhao Haishan was still a Tenth Rank Great Grandmaster, yet he hadn’t detected Tang Chuan’s presence.

Could Tang Chuan be a Half-step Overlord? That’s far too terrifying!

"It’s normal that you didn’t notice," Tang Chuan said, glancing at Zhao Huan with a light chuckle. "You’re simply too weak. Are you the one who disagrees with my marriage to Ye Qianqian?"

As he spoke, Tang Chuan stomped his foot. A surge of force traveled through the floor, directly toward Zhao Huan’s sofa.

CRACK!

The sofa shattered on cue, startling Zhao Huan into a scream. She lost her balance and collapsed onto the floor.

She was just an ordinary person who had never studied martial arts and had certainly never witnessed such a terrifying display. In that moment, she was utterly petrified.

How could such a rude, domineering, and tyrannical person exist in this world? If her daughter married a man like this, how could there be any happiness to speak of? It would be like falling into a pit of fire. Absolutely not! She would never agree!
