Constantly kowtowing and begging for mercy, saying, "I beg you to let me go this time, I beg you to spare me this time, I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have been so ruthless to that woman!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"What was your reason and motive for killing her?" Su Changfeng asked coldly.

"It was because she got pregnant, and I was worried she would steal my spotlight. I did it because I was left with no choice." Shangguan Yunjie’s mother cried as she spoke.

Crack!

A clap of thunder went off in Su Changfeng’s mind.

It turned out to be a double murder...

The reason she killed Shangguan Yuanhua’s mother was actually because she was pregnant.

As they say, the most venomous heart is a woman’s; she was utterly heartless. Instantly enraged, Su Changfeng grabbed the hair of Shangguan Yunjie’s mother and brutally kneed her in the face.

Shangguan Yunjie’s mother screamed in pain, covering her face with both hands as blood continuously flowed through her fingers.

Su Changfeng was not someone who liked to be brutal to women, and he looked down on hitting women, but at this moment, he truly couldn’t hold back.

Why make things difficult for other women? Su Changfeng couldn’t imagine how this woman could do such a venomous thing.

"Even if you were executed by a thousand cuts, it wouldn’t atone for your actions," Su Changfeng said as he came before Shangguan Yunjie’s mother once more and broke her limbs.

"I will have you die in front of Shangguan Yuanhua mother and son’s grave. I will make you confess every single thing you’ve done in front of the entire Shangguan family. Rest assured, I won’t let you die now because that would be too easy for you." Su Changfeng said through gritted teeth.

Shangguan Yunjie’s mother eventually fainted from the pain.

There was no ripple in Su Changfeng’s heart. He instinctively touched his pants pocket and then left the dungeon.

In the pocket lay a very exquisite jade pendant, which had fallen out when he undressed Shangguan Wan’er after the drugs took effect. Su Changfeng had pocketed it after knocking her out.

"I’ve met your conditions for now. I hope you won’t disappoint me," Shangguan Sichen said to Su Changfeng.

"I didn’t kill that woman, and I can’t just let her go," Su Changfeng replied calmly.

Shangguan Sichen looked displeased and warned, "Don’t push your luck. This Shangguan family isn’t a place for you to act arbitrarily. I’ve already taken a big step back by giving you the opportunity to kill them."

"Shangguan Sichen, your entire Shangguan family will rely on me in the future, and this is how you speak to me?" Su Changfeng replied calmly.

Shangguan Sichen felt a pang of concern. If Su Changfeng really gained Mu Tian’s favor, the Shangguan family’s future development would indeed depend on him. But a person who couldn’t be controlled wasn’t a good thing in Shangguan Sichen’s eyes.

A sense of impending doom began to brew within, and Shangguan Sichen suddenly felt that having Su Changfeng handle things might not be a sound strategy.

Inside the Shangguan Family Martial Arts Hall,

Wu Wen had already grown impatient with the waiting. If it were truly about fighting a strong opponent, he might feel a bit eager. But these were all useless people, and he really had no patience to continue waiting.

"Master, are we still going to wait for them to bring back more people? This family is just a bunch of useless people. Why waste time on them? Can’t we just take the money and go?" Wu Wen whispered to Mu Tian.

"The Shangguan Family is worth spending some extra time on. Their family’s wealth is truly astonishing. The more time they keep us waiting, the more money I can make them pay," Mu Tian said calmly.

Wu Wen couldn’t help but chuckle. He originally thought Mu Tian was giving Shangguan Sichen face by waiting, but then he realized Mu Tian had other plans and figured that the Shangguan Family would pay heavily today.

"Master is indeed the master; it seems I still have much to learn from you," Wu Wen said with some emotion.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Xuanjie kept his eyes fixed on the martial arts hall door, every second torturous.

"Su Changfeng isn’t too scared to fight, is he? Shangguan Xuanjie, the person you brought back is quite impressive," Shangguan Wenchuan seized the opportunity to mock Shangguan Xuanjie.

"That’s impossible," Shangguan Xuanjie directly refuted, knowing full well Su Changfeng wouldn’t back out as he held a deadly secret against him.

"Maybe he’s already heard about Wang Fuwen being beaten to death, and that’s why he’s too scared to show up. It’s not surprising, knowing he’d meet a dead end; it’s quite normal he’s too scared to face it," Shangguan Wenchuan said.

Shangguan Xuanjie wanted to run to the dungeon. If Su Changfeng didn’t show because he was afraid, he could use Ye Nianhai to threaten him. Unfortunately, Shangguan Sichen instructed them to stay put, so Shangguan Xuanjie could only wait calmly.

Just then, Shangguan Sichen and Su Changfeng appeared at the doorway.

Shangguan Xuanjie’s face was immediately filled with a smile as he said to Shangguan Wenchuan, "I feel sorry for you. After all your efforts, you still ended up losing to me. Rest assured, once I become the Family Head, I won’t make things harder for you."

Shangguan Wenchuan looked grim; not make things harder? Who would believe that?

Given Shangguan Xuanjie’s nature, he wouldn’t be surprised if he was kicked out.

"Su Changfeng, you better not disappoint me, or else, you know what the consequences will be," Shangguan Xuanjie said quietly to Su Changfeng as he approached him.

Su Changfeng adjusted his breathing. With Ye Nianhai in Shangguan Xuanjie’s hands, anything he did would be constrained. Yet, in the current situation, Su Changfeng had no way to break free, so he could only comply with Shangguan Xuanjie’s demands.

"Rest assured, I won’t hide my strength anymore. But if things don’t work out, there’s nothing I can do either," Su Changfeng said.

Wu Wen looked at Su Changfeng and scoffed, glancing over him a few times. After making him wait so long, it turned out he was just such a person. How boring.
