Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 783 - 366: Subduing the Chen Family, Culinary Skill Advancement.
Outside the old Chen Family residence, Su Tu looked at the seal on the door and couldn’t help but smack his lips.
"This is...."
He originally thought that after Chen Shan’s death, Chen Zian and others would take over the entire old Chen Family residence, considering Chen Shan had occupied the place for many years. Perhaps there were treasures and resources hidden within.
The old guy had been cultivating this place for so many years; it wouldn’t be easy for Chen Zian and others to locate all those treasures in just a day or two.
He had thought about coming directly, tightening his purse strings, and gleefully snatching any treasure he fancied... cough cough... acquiring it legally.
But unexpectedly, Chen Zian had sealed off the entire residence. Observing with his heart and spirit, Su Tu found no trace of any mental presence within the residence, indicating that there were no attempts at hidden searches.
Just when Su Tu thought the entire Chen Family might run away with their buckets.
"Mr. Su, you have arrived."
A figure rapidly flew in from the distant sky, landing swiftly in front of Su Tu with a smiling face, and his voice was warm and respectful.
This was indeed Chen Zian, the current true powerholder of the Chen Family.
"You’ve been waiting for me to come?"
Su Tu raised an eyebrow at Chen Zian, having not sensed any mental presence from him, yet he appeared the moment Su Tu arrived at the door of the old residence.
This indicated that Chen Zian had been monitoring the place, enabling him to come promptly,
"Mr. Su, you are a busy man. I dare not disrupt you at your door and boldly guessed that you might return to this place."
Chen Zian spoke, adopting a posture of humility, his shoulders slightly lowered, his back bowed slightly.
This was a subconscious display of submission.
Seeing Chen Zian in such a posture, Su Tu felt a spark of interest. This Chen Zian truly was a clever person.
From the very beginning when he allied with Su Tu to murder his ancestor, it was clear he lacked neither courage nor ruthlessness. He had even prepared to sacrifice the entire Chen Family, using a blood covenant to pull Chen Shan into the abyss.
Unfortunately, he missed by one move, not realizing everything was under Chen Shan’s control, who had long since replaced all his bloodline.
If it weren’t for Su Tu’s intervention, the entire Chen Family would have become a corner of the Immortal Robe.
Chen Zian obviously also recognized this point, but he wasn’t aware that the mysterious powerful figure who acted that day to annihilate Chen Shan was actually Su Tu.
Instead, he considered it to be the powerful backing behind Su Tu, a terrifying presence capable of easily obliterating Chen Shan, whose cultivation was likely at least that of a supreme.
Now, with Chen Shan gone, although the Chen Family escaped the shadows, they also lost their greatest support.
A family without Dao Lord level strength to oversee it would eventually be torn apart by the lurking hungry wolves.
The force behind Su Tu had become Chen Zian’s greatest reliance; therefore, Chen Zian did not plan to adhere to the original blood covenant agreement to give Su Tu half of the resources.
Instead, he planned to submit completely, offering the entire family for Su Tu to use at will, becoming a tool in his hands.
This decision was not only due to the influence behind Su Tu, but also because Su Tu was currently the only person capable of affecting the ’disaster’ within them, enabling them to completely rid themselves of the ’calamity’.
Chen Zian did not directly express these thoughts to Su Tu, but this slightly submissive attitude had already been partially detected by Su Tu.
This idea coincided with Su Tu’s own thoughts.
Half of the Chen Family was not enough; he wanted the entire Chen Family!!
The two exchanged no words, but as their eyes met, the youthful spirited gaze of Su Tu sparkled, while Chen Zian’s eyes were filled with submission and humility.
Everything seemed to be silently understood between them.
"Mr. Su, please follow me."
Chen Zian gestured with a sideways motion, inviting Su Tu.
"Let’s go." Su Tu said.
The two simultaneously rose and broke through the void, and when they appeared again, they were at the top of a towering building.
This was the tallest structure on the Celestial City Star, named Three Mountains Construction, the Chen Family’s main source of financial income.
It controlled more than half of the construction projects on Celestial City Star, and even when Federation projects were issued, they would directly connect to Three Mountains Construction.
This was the Chen Family’s largest economic dependence, and even just Three Mountains Construction alone was enough to establish its position among the five major families, let alone other businesses.
In essence, Three Mountains Construction was a huge piece of meat, eyed by countless people. Once news of Chen Shan’s demise leaked, this building would overnight become a coveted ’delicacy’ for many forces.
At this moment, in the conference room at the highest level, Chen Zian’s fingers gently tapped a few times in the void.
Immediately, a densely packed report appeared.
"Mr. Su, this is the complete financial record of the Chen Family, including all their businesses, external trades, connections outside the family, and resource records within the Chen family’s treasury."
Chen Zian introduced to Su Tu.
Su Tu casually flipped through it, the report consisting of almost thirty pages, with the industries covering every sector on Celestial City Star.
What’s even more exaggerated is that the report contains only the names of each industry without detailed information, indicating that the directory alone occupies over thirty pages.
This sufficiently illustrates the vastness of the Chen Family’s industry.
Ranging from technology research, medical development, martial arts centers, to beauty and hairstyling, game development.
Overall, as long as it’s a profitable business, the Chen Family has a stake in it.
Su Tu merely glanced through a few pages before sliding the directory aside, his gaze shifting to Chen Zian beside him.
