Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 87 - 86: Annihilated
"How could this happen?"
At the Chen Mansion, upon hearing that the Yao Family had obtained control of the Western District, Chen Fangyuan sat there, his heart unable to calm for a long time.
Even he couldn’t understand it now.
The significant events happening recently in Yunze County were unprecedented in his years of managing the Chen Family.
First, it was Zuo Qiu Ming, the County Magistrate, losing his weapon and being dismissed. Then, shortly after, the black market’s Western District changed ownership.
Each event left him shaken.
"Father, did the black market just compromise like that?"
Chen Qi was also unwilling to believe it; this was completely the black market humiliating itself.
If they compromised like this, what was the point of the previous arena battle in the Western District!
"What else could they do but compromise? The black market cannot be brought to light! Hongze wants something, whether it’s the Primordial Thunder or Master Chen, they can’t refuse, unless the black market wants to shut down."
At this point, they knew what was more important.
What could they do but compromise?
However, Chen Fangyuan felt something was off; such a series of events was too bizarre.
Previously, he hadn’t noticed anything, but this time, the Yao Family gaining control of the Western District was unexpected.
"Could it be that...."
Immediately, Chen Fangyuan gasped.
"The Yao Family truly has some nerve."
At that moment, his heart was like a stormy sea.
If everything was as he suspected, then Yunze County was about to change power dramatically.
In the future, of the three major families... perhaps only the Yao Family would remain.
Suddenly, Chen Fangyuan’s expression changed drastically.
"What’s wrong, Father?"
"Nothing!" Chen Fangyuan waved his hand, then ordered, "During this time, let’s keep our doors closed to visitors!"
"Why?"
Chen Qi was very puzzled, did it mean they wouldn’t handle matters in the Western District?
"Just listen to me!"
Chen Fangyuan’s mood was at its worst, but since he was still unsure, closing their doors and waiting was the only best choice.
"I understand, Father!"
Although he didn’t explain the specific reason, Chen Qi understood the severity of the situation from his father’s face.
Otherwise, the Chen Family would never close its doors.
...
"Father, what should we do? Now probably the whole Yunze County is laughing at our Pei Family? What the hell is Chen Xuan doing?"
At this moment in the Pei Family, Pei Hu was pacing back and forth in the room, complaining incessantly.
Pei Geng sat in a chair, having become much older and devoid of his previous energy after receiving news from Pei Yuenan just a few days ago, his face full of despondency.
This incident had severely damaged the Pei Family’s reputation.
Many families who previously relied on the Pei Family had already severed ties with them.
Of course, he wasn’t too bothered by this; these families were only ever opportunistic.
So let them leave!
What concerned him most was the reputation of the Pei Family.
"Haha...."
At that moment, he bitterly laughed; indeed, prosperity must decline eventually!
These four words perfectly described the Pei Family during this period.
However, what could he do now?
Chen Xuan compromised, and he didn’t blame him in his heart, because facing Hongze, who was backed by the imperial court, unless it was mutual destruction, the black market had no choice but to agree to his demands.
"What’s the use of saying such nonsense, if you have the ability, take back the Western District!"
In a state of agitation, Pei Geng directed his anger towards Pei Hu.
"Father~~~what can I do?"
Pei Hu was feeling wronged too, what could he do, if he could, would he still be here?
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Just then, there was a light knock on the door.
"What is it, wasn’t it ordered that no one be seen!"
Pei Hu, who had just been scolded, found a vent for his frustration.
"It’s...it’s... Miss... there’s a letter...!"
The voice of the maid outside was slightly trembling; these days, the servants at the Pei Mansion were all living in fear, afraid of inadvertently provoking the two inside.
Moreover, several oblivious servants had already been severely punished.
"Quick, bring it here!"
Hearing it was a letter from Pei Yuenan, Pei Geng immediately became excited.
At this time, with her personality, she wouldn’t write for no reason.
"Could there be a turn for the better?"
As the maid entered and respectfully handed over the letter.
Pei Geng hurriedly opened it, his hands trembling non-stop.
"Father! Wait!"
"Alright! Then I’ll wait!"
With a loud voice, this was the best mood Pei Geng had been in these days; although it was only two words, they gave him hope!
....
At this moment, in the main hall of the Chen Mansion.
Chen Xiu and Primordial Thunder sat at the top, both laughing and chatting leisurely.
While Chen Xuan was serving them.
Both of them showed up at the Chen Mansion early today.
He thought something significant might be up, but after they arrived, they were simply drinking tea and chatting merrily.
It left him utterly baffled.
He asked, but Chen Xiu told him to wait, he’d know later, assuring him it was good news.
Hearing it was good news, Chen Xuan’s curiosity grew even more.
But no matter how he asked, Chen Xiu just wouldn’t say.
There was just one word: wait!
In the end, having no choice, he stayed there, making tea and serving water to the two, resolute not to leave, waiting to hear what they would say.
Unexpectedly, the entire morning passed with their conversation skimming all over, covering mundane matters.
Leaving him without a clue.
....
Time flew by, and night fell!
The two stood up almost simultaneously.
"Come with us! Today we’ll let you have a good fight!"
After saying something perplexing, Chen Xiu and Primordial Thunder headed outside simultaneously.
Although Chen Xuan was a bit confused, he immediately followed.
On the small boat,
This time, Chen Xuan served as the boatman, Chen Xiu stood at the bow, while Primordial Thunder sat inside the cabin.
"Master, what are we doing going to the county town so late?"
Chen Xuan asked while rowing.
"On a moonless, windy night, it’s a perfect time for murder and arson," Chen Xiu finally revealed the purpose of their mission.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately understood, "The Yao Family?"
"Who else but the Yao Family would be worthy enough for both me and Primordial Thunder to make a move!"
Ever since Hongze transferred the control of the western district to the Yao Family, he had in essence announced their death sentence.
Hongze wants the western district, let him take the black market!
However,
Anyone who dares to take control of the western district, they will kill!
This was also what Chen Xiu and Primordial Thunder had planned in recent days.
Moreover, they were certain that even if they destroyed the Yao Family, Hongze wouldn’t turn against them.
After all, a third of the black market’s annual profit is an astronomical amount, and Hongze couldn’t bear to lose it.
Not to mention,
The timing of Zuo Qiu Ming’s downfall was too coincidental.
Furthermore, the other day, someone claiming to be from the Zuo Family came to the black market and handed him a handwritten letter from Zuo Qiu Ming.
In the letter, he said it was clear he had been set up and framed.
After all, the routes were always decided right before departure, and only he and the escort leader knew them, so it was impossible to leak.
Someone must have been targeting this escort mission.
So whoever benefits the most this time is the one who framed him.
Of course, he told Primordial Thunder not because he wanted revenge, but in the hope that due to their long-standing friendship, he would pass the message to the Zuo Family quickly.
It was also a reminder that if it wasn’t him this time, it could happen to Primordial Thunder next.
So when Hongze announced that control of the western district would be given to the Yao Family, he and Chen Xiu decided to end the Yao Family tonight.
...
The three boldly entered Yunze County.
Without attempting to hide in the slightest.
Chen Xiu and the others did this to send a message to Hongze.
The ones guarding the city gate were his people, and it was believed he would soon receive the news.
...
"The Yao Family! Haha!"
At this time, the three arrived at the entrance of the Yao Family estate.
Looking at the large plaque above the gate, with the characters for Yao Family grandly displayed, Chen Xiu scoffed.
"Get lost, this is the Yao Family!"
At the gate, four servants of the Yao Family immediately shouted at the three who stood in front of it.
A few days ago, they wouldn’t have been so arrogant.
But, as of today, everything changed.
The Yao Family was still the leading family in Yunze County.
They had really had enough of feeling inferior to everyone else these days.
As true guards of the esteemed Yao Family, who dared to show them a bad face?
In the past, when they went to a restaurant, the owner would not even charge them silver in hopes of currying favor.
But since the Pei Family took control of the western district, everything had changed.
Not only were the good times gone!
Even when those from the Yao Family went out, people were unwilling to acknowledge them.
And Yao De ordered the entire Yao Family to keep a low profile and avoid conflicts with outsiders, anyone who disobeys would be expelled from the Yao Family.
This was unbearable for those who relied on the Yao Family’s influence to throw their weight around.
But today, everything returned to how it was.
They were even more confident and proud than before!
Everyone visiting the mansion today was all smiles towards them, and the perks given were plentiful.
"The Yao Family, impressive, even a gatekeeper dares act so high and mighty!"
Chen Xiu squinted, his gaze as if looking at dead men.
"You’re courting death, this must be someone from another family spying on the Yao Family, capture him, report to Steward!",
The one who had just sneered, seeing these people unresponsive and daring to mock them, instantly flew into a rage.
"Noisy, Chen Xuan, kill them all, tonight we will back you up! Kill freely!"
Primordial Thunder also patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder, "Tonight is your chance to experience your first real fight! Enjoy it!"
"Understood!"
Responded Chen Xuan, realizing now why the master brought him, it was to train him, to show him that strength is everything.
"Hoo~~~"
He exhaled deeply.
In the next moment, his figure vanished like a phantom.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Each received a punch, and the four let out a scream.
The four remained standing even in death.
Then...
Bang..... the four fell to the ground!
A fist-sized hole appeared in each of their chests.
Looking at Chen Xuan’s hand, not a trace of blood could be seen, a testament to the speed of his strike.
After taking care of these small fries,
A gust of wind suddenly blew through, filling the air with the scent of blood.
"Let’s go, the show is about to begin, we’d better prepare well for tonight, otherwise, if the arriving guests aren’t satisfied! That wouldn’t be fun at all!"
Chen Xiu suddenly showed a playful smile.
Then,
The three walked through the main gate of the Yao Family with dignity and confidence.
