My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 305: The Domineering Cao Kun

The Cao Family wanted revenge, but that had nothing to do with the onlookers. At the very least, they currently held no grudge against the Cao Family and couldn't imagine which fool had dared to provoke them. To mess with the man they called the Barbaric Beast… the outcome was sure to be tragic. Anyone who fought him would suffer a miserable fate unless they could incapacitate him completely.

「Kang City.」

Zhao Xiong was the first to learn of the news and immediately sought out Yang Qi.

"Mr. Yang, this is serious trouble! I don't know who harmed Cao Xingjian, but they've framed us for it! This time, Cao Kun is bringing the Barbaric Beast with him to Kang City. They'll arrive tomorrow. Mr. Yang, you're in grave danger!"

"Danger?" Yang Qi replied. "City Lord Zhao, it's been a long time since I've seen you so worked up and frightened! However, I'm not afraid."

Zhao Xiong gave a bitter smile. "Mr. Yang, you don't understand. Cao Kun, Cao Kan, and the Barbaric Beast are all masters. Any single one of them would be considered a top-tier expert in Kang City. That Barbaric Beast is especially ferocious and brutal. Once he locks onto his prey, it's a fight to the death! It's said that when he was ten, he killed a tiger with his bare hands! The man was born with Divine Power, capable of capturing tigers and panthers alive! You must be extremely careful, sir."

Yang Qi nodded. "Thank you for your concern, City Lord Zhao. However, fleeing is out of the question for me. Let them come. I want them to know that Kang City is no longer the city it once was. It's no longer a place where a few so-called masters can just show up and boss everyone around!"

Zhao Xiong felt a surge of excitement from Yang Qi's words. Although a part of him was still worried, he didn't say anything more. Since their arrival was inevitable, being afraid was pointless. Besides, with Yang Qi's personality, he would never simply run away.

As news of Cao Kun heading to Kang City spread, more and more people learned of it. Some began preparing to flee, while others prepared a welcome. The Cao Family had originally sent Cao Xingyun to make a name for himself in Kang City, but a single auction resulted in his disappearance. This time, Cao Kun was bringing not only masters but also several businessmen. He was clearly intending to establish a firm foothold in Kang City.

Although Kang City wasn't particularly large, it was a natural, superior port with a thriving economy and prosperous trade. It was definitely a prime location. If one could establish a good relationship with the Cao Family early on, they could get a piece of the pie later.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Song Wulin was both elated and worried. He was elated because Cao Kun was coming, and he was bringing the Barbaric Beast. This time, Yang Qi was a dead man. But he was worried that his own role in harming Cao Xingjian would be exposed. If that happened, he would be the one who was doomed.

He absolutely could not let Cao Xingjian wake up.

That was his primary concern. The problem was, he could no longer get close to Cao Xingjian. Thunder City had sent men to guard him closely, making it impossible for him to try any tricks. Fortunately, even the renowned Divine Doctor Chen Guo had been unable to cure Cao Xingjian, so the chances of him waking up were incredibly low. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

That evening, Yang Qi received a message from Huang Borren. The last person to have been in contact with Cao Xingjian was the Young Master of the Song Family, Song Wulin. Since the Song Family was disbanded and its Family Head arrested, Song Wulin had been left relatively unharmed. But it was entirely possible that the young man wanted revenge and had decided to frame him.

"Although there's no conclusive evidence, I'm ninety-nine percent sure it was him," Huang Borren said.

"Understood," Yang Qi replied and hung up. He could now basically confirm that Song Wulin was behind the whole affair.

He hadn't wanted to move against Song Wulin. After all, the Song Family was finished, and many of its leaders had been arrested. He had felt the man was pitiful and so had left him alone. He never expected that a moment of soft-heartedness would earn him the bite of a wolf.

Song Wulin, don't blame me. This is all your own doing!

Yang Qi had already decided to kill Song Wulin.

「The next morning.」

The Cao Family's motorcade appeared at the entrance of Kang City Central Hospital. Over a hundred Martial Artists, all dressed in matching uniforms emblazoned with the large character for Cao, disembarked from the vehicles.

Cao Kan got out, opened the rear door, and respectfully welcomed Cao Kun out of the car. Cao Kun was still dressed in simple cloth, his presence commanding without any show of anger.

He glanced at the person sitting in the car and said coldly, "Stay here quietly and don't cause any trouble. I'll buy you some meat later!"

Sitting there was, indeed, the Barbaric Beast. The entire journey, Cao Kan had been terrified, a constant chill running down his spine. After all, this was the Barbaric Beast—an intellectually impaired monster capable of any terrible thing imaginable.

After closing the car door, Cao Kan let out a sudden sigh of relief. He followed Cao Kun into the hospital and they made their way to Cao Xingjian's room.

Upon seeing them, Song Wulin immediately dropped to his knees. "Family Head Cao, I was incompetent! I failed to protect the Second Young Master! Please, Family Head Cao, punish me for my failure!"

"Who are you?" Cao Kun asked.

"I am Song Wulin, of the Song Family," he replied.

"Get up. This isn't your fault," Cao Kun said indifferently. "The blame lies with that audacious Yang Qi. But since he was strong enough to take down Xingjian, your skills would have been useless anyway."

Song Wulin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stood up.

"Is there really no hope for my Xingjian?" Cao Kun asked.

Song Wulin answered cautiously, "His life was saved by Divine Doctor Chen Guo. We were lucky he was in Kang City! Otherwise, it would have been a disaster."

"Chen Guo, is it? Cao Kan, go bring Chen Guo to me. Be polite. If he refuses to cooperate, then use force. If he can't cure my son, then he can just stop practicing medicine altogether!" Cao Kun ordered coldly.

"Yes!" Cao Kan nodded and turned to leave.

Song Wulin carefully interjected, "That's Divine Doctor Chen Guo, the vice president of the National Medicine Association. Is it really wise to use force on him? Offending those National Medicine folks could lead to a very messy situation."

"Hmph!" Cao Kun snorted. "The people you dare not offend, I, Cao Kun, dare!"

"Yes, of course!" Song Wulin gasped. This Cao Kun is a complete madman! He doesn't give a damn about anyone. The aura he unconsciously released was so overpowering that Song Wulin instinctively dropped to his knees again. The pressure was immense.

"Why are you kneeling?"

Thoroughly embarrassed, Song Wulin scrambled to his feet again. "This whole affair is Yang Qi's fault from beginning to end! That man relies on his connections to people like Zhao Xiong and acts with absolute impunity. He doesn't even show any respect for the Thunder Sect! I heard that Young Master Xingyun also disappeared right after having a conflict with him. It's almost certain he was the one who harmed him!"

"Hmph!" Cao Kun snorted again. "Yang Qi! A petty little thing like him dares to be so presumptuous. I don't care what backing he has. He harmed my son, so he must die! No one can protect him! Furthermore, from this day forward, the Cao Family will be developing our interests in Kang City. This is a mission from Lord Lei himself. I will make everyone in Kang City understand that only our Cao Family is worthy of being its premier family! The very mention of the Cao Family name will make them all tremble in fear!"

Song Wulin was thrilled. With the Cao Family's backing, his family members might be rescued from prison, and the Song Family could rise again. After all, there was no one left in Kang City with the power to contend with the Cao Family.

At that moment, Song Wulin was already lost in fantasies of his dreams coming true.
