Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 309: Special blood

Family Head Jin knitted his brows seeing this, but he quickly said, "I guess the Chen Family really is disappointing. It seems like you can’t even take revenge for your dead relatives."

Chen Xiao Hua’s face twisted a bit when she heard this, but she ignored Family Head Chen in the end as she turned around and walked back over to me.

She looked at me and asked, "What will happen to them now?"

I didn’t answer this and looked over at Emperor Liu.

He was surprised to see me looking at him, but with a cough, he said, "We will investigate the extent of the Jin Family’s crime and see that they are punished accordingly. We promise that we will get justice for your family."

Chen Xiao Hua narrowed her eyes to look at Emperor Liu.

It wasn’t that she didn’t recognize him since she came from a large noble family in the first place. It was only natural that she would be able to recognize the ruler of this empire that she lived in.

Though it was hard to say what kind of feelings she had towards this Emperor Liu.

After all, he was the one that had let her family suffer that fate.

He was the one that had raised the Jin Family to the position that they were currently in, which had allowed them to take advantage of said position to wipe out her Chen Family in the first place.

There was a trace of worry that appeared in Emperor Liu’s eyes when he saw this.

He was someone who had survived for so long on the throne, so it would be strange if he wasn’t able to recognize the way that Chen Xiao Hua looked at him. He knew exactly what she was thinking when he saw the way that she looked at him.

It might not matter if Chen Xiao Hua was alone, but she had been brought by the young master.

She was someone who had been specially brought over by Young Master Lin, so she was someone that he couldn’t ignore.

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Liu said, "It was our fault for not knowing the intentions of the Jin Family earlier. We were the ones that had been ignorant of this situation, which caused great harm to your Chen Family. I personally promise that we will make sure that the Jin Family will pay for their crimes."

Chen Xiao Hua had an uncertain look on her face as she looked at Emperor Liu, but she eventually nodded in agreement.

Emperor Liu didn’t let it show on his face, but he let out an internal sigh of relief seeing this.

If she kept insisting...then there would only be hell to pay for their Liu Empire.

But if she agreed, then they might even have a chance to get close to Young Master Lin if they took care of this matter well.

Emperor Liu didn’t waste any time as he said, "Start searching the Jin Manor for any evidence! Make sure that you don’t miss a single thing!"

The empire’s army immediately headed in and with the look on their faces, it was clear that they were about to ransack this place. What they were about to do would make bandits seem tame, but that was because they were looking for clues.

It wasn’t as if they were here to look for valuables to steal.

Family Head Jin’s expression looked ugly when he heard this before he roared out, "I am the one that killed your family! You really are a family of weaklings if you don’t even dare take your revenge! It seems that you’re a whole family of..."

"Zzt."

Family Head Jin didn’t have a chance to say anything else as a zap of electricity forced him to close his mouth.

This was the electric net that was around him.

It had suddenly tightened and made him unable to say a thing.

In fact, I could have tightened it at any moment and he wouldn’t have been able to say a thing, but I wanted to give Chen Xiao Hua the choice in this matter.

Especially since I knew what Family Head Jin had been planning to do.

He wanted a quick and painless death for his family.

If they were dragged in by the empire’s army, there was no doubt that there would be a long trial where their names would be dragged into the mud before they were killed. At the same time, they would have to suffer in prison before being put up to trial, which would prolong their suffering.

He wanted to pressure Chen Xiao Hua into killing him.

Once that happened, Emperor Liu would have no choice but to sweep this matter under the rug.

Chen Xiao Hua was related to that extraordinary young master who had even destroyed their master, so there was no doubt of his identity. If she was involved, then there was no doubt that Emperor Liu would sweep things under the rug to end things as soon as possible.

He wouldn’t want to keep that extraordinary young master involved longer than necessary.

So he wasn’t just seeking his own death.

He was seeking a path of quick and painless death for his family.

It was just too bad that Chen Xiao Hua didn’t give it to him.

In a sense, this was the best kind of revenge that she could take.

But at the same time, I couldn’t help wondering why the Jin Family had been so obsessed with the Chen Family in the first place.

"It’s because of their special blood."

I was completely caught off guard by the words of the system since I didn’t expect it to chime in all of sudden after it had been silent for so long.

"What do you mean by special blood?"

"Judging by the individual ’Chen Xiao Hua’, the Chen Family has blood that is rich in dark attributed energy. This is the kind of blood that is desired by the demons of the Raging Demon Upper Realm."
