Chapter 204: Chapter 196: Although I’m Usually Very Arrogant, I’m Not Stupid

Zhou Qiqiang stood to the side, watching his recently awakened son with a blank expression.

"Dad, Mom..." Zhou Tianci, just starting to recover from his severe injuries, looked at his parents and called out weakly.

"My son! Don’t talk, just focus on recovering! The doctor just said that even though your injuries were healed with a Superpower, your body is still very weak. You need to rest quietly for a while..." Zhou Tianci’s mother said.

"Tian Ci, do you know who attacked you?" Zhou Qiqiang asked his son.

At his father’s question, a figure instantly appeared in Zhou Tianci’s mind. At the same time, the man’s final, harsh words rang in his ears.

"This time, I’ve beaten you up, so we’re even. If you dare to bother me again, it won’t be as simple as just getting a beating..."

Zhou Tianci shuddered and shook his head at his father. "I don’t know."

"My son! Think carefully. The person who attacked you was so ruthless. Even if he flees to the ends of the earth, we will find him," Zhou Tianci’s mother said, her face contorted with rage.

Zhou Tianci was her precious son. In all his life, she had never been willing to lay a finger on him. But this time, someone else had beaten him so badly he nearly died. This filled her with immense anger.

"To dare attack you in the city in broad daylight... If it wasn’t someone with a deep grudge against you, an ordinary person wouldn’t do something like this...

Tell me honestly, did you cause some trouble recently? Did you provoke someone you shouldn’t have?" Zhou Qiqiang asked, frowning as he analyzed the situation.

"Dad, I haven’t caused any trouble recently. I really don’t know who attacked me. Let’s just drop it!" Zhou Tianci said.

"My son! How can we just drop it when the person who attacked you hurt you so badly?" Zhou Tianci’s mother said angrily.

When Zhou Qiqiang heard Zhou Tianci say to just drop it, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

’After something like this, with my son’s temper, he should be the type to swear he wouldn’t rest until he got revenge!’

’But now he’s acting completely out of character, with a reaction so different from his usual self. This is too strange.’

"Dad, Mom, I just want to rest right now. Could you please leave me alone for a bit?" Zhou Tianci said.

"Of course, of course. Your father and I will leave now. You get some rest."

Hearing her recovering son say he wanted to rest, Zhou Tianci’s mother quickly nodded, then got up, pulled her husband along, and left her son’s bedroom.

After his parents left, Zhou Tianci, lying in bed, called out toward the door, "Xiaoliu."

"Young Master, I’m here! What are your orders?" Hearing Zhou Tianci call him from inside the room, Wang Xiaoliu, who had been waiting by the door, immediately ran into the bedroom and came before him. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Help me unwrap these bandages," Zhou Tianci ordered.

"Yes, Young Master." Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoliu immediately reached out to help Zhou Tianci unwrap the white bandages wound around his body.

"Young Master, WAAAH..."

Zhou Tianci cooperated as Wang Xiaoliu unwrapped the blood-stained white bandages from his body.

Just then, seeing Wang Xiaoliu suddenly burst into tears, he asked in confusion, "What are you crying for?"

"Young Master, it’s all my fault for being useless. When we met an enemy like that, I could only watch helplessly as he... WAAAH..."

"Alright, stop crying. That person is at the Second Order Middle Stage. Even if you were more useful, could you be stronger than me? In the end, you’d just get beaten up by him all the same."

"Young Master, we’ve never offended a Second Order Middle Stage Cultivator. Why would someone like that attack us?"

"That’s right! We’ve never offended a Second Order Middle Stage Cultivator..." Zhou Tianci mused for a moment, then began to instruct him.

"Don’t ever mention this matter again. Also... later, get some men and tear down all those missing person posters I had you put up everywhere."

"Huh? Young Master, what do you mean?" Wang Xiaoliu asked, confused. He didn’t understand why he was suddenly being told to take people to deal with the missing person posters out of the blue.

"Don’t ask why, just do as I say... Alright, I’m going to rest. You can go."

Zhou Tianci didn’t explain anything to Wang Xiaoliu. After the other man finished removing all the blood-stained white bandages from his body, he lay down, closed his eyes, and rested.

Wang Xiaoliu scratched his head, then obediently left the bedroom.

After Wang Xiaoliu left, silence returned to the bedroom. Just then, Zhou Tianci slowly opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

’That Lin guy actually awakened two Superpowers, and in such a short time, he broke through from the Second Rank Initial Stage to the Second Order Middle Stage. With such terrifying cultivation talent, I can’t afford to offend him again.’

Although Zhou Tianci gave others the impression of an arrogant, profligate son of a rich family, he wasn’t a brainless fool.

This beating made him clearly understand that his opponent had shown mercy this time. Otherwise, given the huge gap in their strength, if the other party had intended to kill, he would surely be dead.

Furthermore, upon discovering that the person he had offended was a genius who had awakened two Superpowers and, at such a young age, had already become a Second Order Middle Stage Cultivator...
