Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1372 - 1357: The Might of the Shi Family Members

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1357: The Might of the Shi Family Members

"Then I’ll give it a try."

After a moment of silence, Song Yun said, "I’ve heard that a lot of people are coming this time, even Zhao Wangquan and Zhou Guang. Their goals are clear: either take Professor Tao away or get his research data. Protecting him means making many enemies. If the Shi Family isn’t pleased with his experiment results, they might take action as well. Dad, you’re making me the target here!"

"Sometimes, being a target isn’t such a bad thing!"

Song Ergou said with a smile, "When everyone wants to fight you, there’s a chance they might start fighting among themselves first. Don’t you think?"

"Heh, your son is the master of leveraging situations!" Song Yun laughed confidently.

"Good that you understand, son. Let me tell you, even if the Shi Family tries to take down Professor Tao, you must stop them. The Shi Family may have many skilled people, but based on past experience, they’ll likely only send average ones. This increases your chances of stopping them. Moreover, if you manage to stop them once, according to their rules, they won’t try again." Song Ergou explained.

"Why?"

"The Shi Family believes in following fate. If you stop them the first time, they’ll think it’s fate, and they won’t take action again. Son, let me tell you, the Shi Family is like that. Although they have many experts, most are secluded and spend their entire lives on martial arts. The ones who actually step out aren’t that exceptional," Song Ergou said.

"Not exceptional? Then I’m relieved!"

Song Yun breathed a sigh of relief, "If someone ranked in the twenties, thirties, or forties on the War God List came, I’d have to fight to the death."

"Well... for the Shi Family, their average level is around the twenties to forties on the War God List, and this time, the ones coming might be ranked around the twenties," Song Ergou stated.

"Damn, Dad, are you messing with me? Is being ranked twenty on the War God List considered average? How can I compete! Wasn’t the War God List created by the Shi Family?"

Song Yun exclaimed.

"Technically, yes..." Song Ergou said helplessly, "The War God List was originally created by some legendary figures, including Elder Wang, a woman from the Kunlun Mountain Shi Family, and some other individuals. It was initially limited to Shen Zhou but later expanded globally. Technically, the War God List was indeed created by the Shi Family. And in the early rankings, many of the top fifty were Shi Family members. Of course, many Shi Family members are no longer on the list because they’ve relinquished their spots. According to intelligence, the Shi Family currently has around eight individuals with the strength to be in the top fifty, with two being legends and about five ranked between the teens to sixties. Not very formidable!"

"Come on... Two legends? And the others are ranked between the teens and sixties? You call that not very formidable? Dad, you’re setting me up for disaster! If someone ranked in the teens shows up, how do I fight back? If a legend shows up, how do I deal with them? I’m done for!" Song Yun cried out in frustration.

"Son, I believe you’ll handle it, and the Shi Family might not go for the kill. Everything depends on fate..."

With that, Song Ergou abruptly hung up the phone.

Listening to the dial tone, Song Yun sighed helplessly. It seemed another fierce battle was imminent, and this time the enemies he’d face were unprecedentedly numerous!

Zhao Wangquan, Zhou Guang, the Shi Family, Wen Commerce Association...

And many more.

"Damn, they’re really trying to kill me!!"

"I’m gazing up at the moon above..."

Song Yun was lamenting when his phone rang again.

It was his dad!

"By the way, Song Yun, I heard you’ve met Old Wen’s daughter?"

Song Ergou asked slyly on the other end.

"Yes, I’ve met her... Uncle Wen even wants his daughter to marry me,"

Song Yun replied helplessly.

"Hahaha, son, you’re quite something, hahahaha! Here’s an idea: why not find some time to see Wen Ting, get her pregnant, and then I’ll have Wen Changlin persuade her to keep the child... and then, our Song Family..."

Before Song Ergou could finish his sentence, Song Yun abruptly hung up on him.

"Damn it, why is everyone like this? What kind of people are they!" Song Yun almost wanted to smash his phone, but then he remembered it was an expensive high-end knockoff, so he couldn’t bear to do it.

Several days passed like this, and Song Yun noticed changes happening to his body.

His physical strength seemed to be improving daily, rapidly, and both his speed and power were increasing. As for combat techniques, Song Yun was gradually integrating them into his moves. For example, a simple straight punch that used to hit with a force of a thousand pounds could now hit with thirteen hundred pounds thanks to these techniques. It was a significant improvement.

However, there were some things that frustrated Song Yun.

Like Rumeng.

This woman seemed to cling to him, with daily texts and calls. If Song Yun didn’t answer, she’d somehow manage to reach out using a different number.

Song Yun wasn’t afraid of stubborn people and often liked to use physical force to make them go away. However, dealing with a persistent woman was a different matter. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

She didn’t ask for money or cause trouble, just showed kindness with daily texts: "Have you gotten up? Remember to eat breakfast." At noon: "Eat well." In the evening: "Sleep early, and remember to dream of me."

In such situations, what could Song Yun do? Beat her up? That would ruin his reputation, but coaxing her didn’t work either.

Song Yun was utterly helpless. Plus, he couldn’t discuss this issue with others as it was a private matter between two people, and publicizing it wasn’t a good idea.

So, Song Yun tried his best to ignore Rumeng.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Rumeng was tangled up with Shi Wenxi on a bed.

Rumeng’s sprained foot had somehow healed, and she was kneeling on the ground with her legs bent, while something was happening with Shi Wenxi, who was holding her from behind.

"Mmm, you’re amazing!"

Rumeng said contentedly with her eyes closed.

"Of course, I am."

Shi Wenxi said smugly, "I practice martial arts."

"I love you so much!"

Rumeng exclaimed.

"Me too!"

Half an hour later.

Rumeng and Shi Wenxi were already dressed.

"I didn’t bring a bag, so I’ll leave my phone with you for now."

Rumeng handed her iPhone to Shi Wenxi, who nodded and casually put it in his pocket. The two then left the room together.

It was already afternoon, and after strolling around the street for a bit, they parted ways.

Whether intentionally or not, Rumeng forgot to get her phone back from Shi Wenxi, and Shi Wenxi also forgot to return it to her.

After they separated, Rumeng took a taxi to a hospital.
