Chapter 31

Ling Jiu was furious, extremely furious .

He knew that this world was chaotic with ravaging Direbeasts and rising special abilities . The unequal distribution of power and resources were making this world much more dangerous, more chaotic, and darker than the past life .

There were countless unfair incidents, and the laws could only control the ordinary people . Unfairness and injustice were happening every day .

However, when all these happened to him, Ling Jiu still could not help but feel angry .

“How are you?”

Baldheaded Mr . Zhang was not so friendly when he looked at Ling Jiu . His men, all burly, stopped what they were doing and stared at Ling Jiu .

“F*ck you!”

Ling Jiu roared, striking a punch formed by osmium at Mr . Zhang’s chest . Amid the sound of crackling, Mr . Zhang spurted a mouthful of blood before his body crashed into the wall with a loud bang and dropped to the floor .

Mr . Zhang felt his bones had fallen apart . “What are you all waiting for, you trash! Kill him!” he shouted in agony .

Mr . Zhang, he-he is an Arcanist!”

Those burly men realized that Ling Jiu was an Arcanist when they saw a punch, sending Mr . Zhang flying away .

It was an Arcanist, not someone they could deal with .

“An Arcanist?”

Mr . Zhang’s heart skipped a beat . He looked at Ling Jiu with a hint of fear in his eyes . “Who are you? What do you want? Don’t do anything stupid!”

“What do I want? Take a wild guess!”

As Ling Jiu grabbed in the air, the osmium formed into a giant hand, lifting Mr . Zhang into the air .

Mr . Zhang tried to fight back, kicking his legs frantically, but that did not affect the osmium hand even a bit . He could only watch as he was brought in front of Ling Jiu .

“How dare you hit my dad, you abbreviated piece of nothing!”

Ling Jiu raised his hand and slapped Mr . Zhang in the face, causing the corner of his mouth to tear open . “Today, I am going to make you pay dearly for your stupid actions!”

“You-You are Ling Tianci’s son?”

Mr . Zhang’s body shuddered . He suddenly became more daring . “I see . It is you, rascal . How dare you show me your attitude . You must have a death wish!”

Knowing who Ling Jiu was, Mr . Zhang was not as scared as before . There was no need to be afraid of a newly awakened Arcanist . Not that he had not dealt with Arcanists before .

Besides, he knew well about Ling Jiu’s background: toothless and penniless with no connection of influence . Ling Jiu had just got lucky to awaken his special ability .

So there was nothing to worry about a family like that .

“Death wish?”

Ling Jiu slapped him again .

Piak!

As the slap broke a few teeth of his, Mr . Zhang covered his swollen face with his hand . “How dare you hit me! I will make you pay!”

Piak!

“I pay you all for nothing, you all trash! He is just a rookie Arcanist, so why are you so scared of him? Kill him!”

Those burly men bit the bullet and lunged out at Ling Jiu . They would have flinched when facing other powerful Arcanists . But the Arcanist in front of them was just a rookie, and there was a strength in numbers .

However, as quick as they were, a dozen osmium fists formed and hit them with a series of thuds, sending the dozen burly men flying out backward .

“How could this be possible?”

Mr . Zhang was shocked . He could not believe that Ling Jiu had easily beaten his men, who were all professionally trained fighters . Was Ling Jiu really a rookie Arcanist?

Piak!

While Mr . Zhang was still in shock, Ling Jiu had come down with his slaps again . He was determined to avenge his father . After a continuous series of slapping, Mr . Zhang’s face swelled so terribly that he looked like a pig head, half of his teeth falling off .

“Stop-Stop hitting me, please!”

Mr . Zhang was afraid now and quickly begged Ling Jiu . “It wasn’t me but Mr . Yang who wanted to screw your dad . It has got nothing to do with me…”

“Mr . Yang?”

Ling Jiu stopped .

“Yes, Mr . Yang! It was Mr . Yang!”

Mr . Zhang pulled a pathetic face . “He asked me to abduct your father here so he could kill you . It’s true . It has got nothing to do with!”

“Which Mr . Yang are you talking about?” Ling Jiu asked coldly .

Without waiting for Mr . Zhang’s reply, Ling Tianci suddenly spoke . “I knew that it was him . I knew that . He must be the one behind the collapse of the company . I have been right all along!”

Ling Tianci looked a sight, his face swollen and covered in blood . But there was no anger or fear in his eyes, just anguish and at a loss .

“Who is that b*stard, Dad?” Ling Jiu frowned . “Did you just say that the collapse of the company has something to do with Mr . Yang?”

“Don’t ask! It has got nothing to do with you!”

Ling Tianci let out a sigh .

“Dad!”

Ling Jiu was not too happy . “That b*stard has caused you so much suffering and hired someone to screw you . I couldn’t stomach this without revenge!”

“Stop asking!”

Ling Tianci’s tone of voice turned stern . “This is adult business . You don’t interfere! Leave me for a while . I have something to talk to Mr . Zhang!”

Ling Jiu was indignant, but he did not want to defy his dad . He spun around and left the office . He would find it out since his dad was not telling him .

“Mr . Zhang, tell Mr . Yang that I will repay every cent I owe him . But please don’t harass my son!”

Ling Tianci came up to Mr . Zhang . “Otherwise, he will regret it big time!”

“I will convey your message for sure! I will!”

…

Ling Jiu and Ling Tianci left Haitian Debt Collection Agency . The father and son spoke not a word until they arrived at their neighborhood . “Don’t tell Xiao Tong about what has happened today!” Ling Tianci instructed .

“I know!”

Ling Jiu nodded lightly . “Mr . Yang whom Zhang Haitian talked about must be Mr . Yang of Yang Group, I guess?”

Ling Tianci was startled for a second, then shook his head . “Just don’t ask! This is an adult’s business . A kid shouldn’t interfere!”

“Yang Group of Lantian Base City is a branch of Changan Base City’s Yang Group, the president of which is Yang Su, isn’t it?” Ling Jiu said as if he had not heard what his dad said .

Yang Su!

Ling Tianci was struck dumb .

“If I remember correctly, Dad, my mom is also called Yang Su . Am I right?”

“Don’t tell me that mother of convenience, whom I have never met, is the president of Yang Group,” Ling Jiu said half-jokingly .

“What the heck are you talking about?”

Ling Tianci suddenly went hysterical . “How many times have I told you that your mom has long been dead? She has nothing to do with that woman in Yang Group . Don’t you insult your mom with that woman!”

Ling Jiu was startled . I was just saying . Is it necessary to get so worked up?

“Don’t be a smart aleck and don’t interfere in grown-up matters . Follow me home!”
