Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1363: Chapter 1362: Forced Into Submission

In the Courtyard of the Su Family, an elder with a somewhat aged appearance was sitting there.

He closed his eyes, expression calm, showing no emotions on his face.

Opposite him sat a middle-aged man with a chilly demeanor. On the chest of his clothes was a large embroidered ’Han’ character.

This man was the Han Family Master, Han Tiansheng!

To the south and behind him, two other groups were standing, including two seated individuals: the Mui Family Master, Mui Tiehui, and the Wang Family Head, Wang Ran.

At this moment, Han Tiansheng, Mui Tiehui, and Wang Ran were all coldly staring at the old man of the Su Family.

”Master of the Su Family, what do you think of my proposal?”

Han Tiansheng sneered as he spoke to the old man, ”The last thing I want is to have my hands stained with blood. If you agree to my proposal, I’ll give you ten thousand Spirit Stones. You take these stones, gather your Su Family members, and leave Jingzhou City. Go wherever you wish. How does that sound?”

The elder did not speak, merely sat there.

”Master of the Su Family, don’t be obstinate. You know the situation of the Su Family better than anyone else. Having ten thousand Spirit Stones is better than none, don’t you agree?” Mui Tiehui scoffed.

Over on the opposite side, Wang Ran seemed to be advising but was actually filled with contempt, ”Master of the Su Family, look at these Su Family young ones behind you. How old can they be, in their twenties? So young, with bright futures ahead. Among them might be geniuses who reach that legendary Dragon God Realm. By then, your Su Family would have the capital to rise again.”

”If you continue to be stubborn... things won’t end well. After all, even abundant wealth is worthless if you’re not alive, don’t you agree?”

”This is impossible!”

Behind the elder stood a young man, his face flushed as he argued, ”Our Su Family’s industries are worth millions in Spirit Stones, at least seven to eight hundred thousand. Offering just ten thousand and expecting us to let go, that’s simply dreaming!”

”Su Zhe, don’t reject the goodwill!”

Han Tiansheng’s face darkened, and he sneered, ”I know you currently oversee some of the Su Family’s businesses, but whether those businesses can still make money, you know better than I do! Even if given to you, you couldn’t keep them running. Why continue the entanglement?”

”Hahaha...”

The young man became furious and laughed out loud.

”Han Tiansheng, do you really not know why we aren’t making money? You three Great Families have besieged our Su Family, disallowing anyone from trading with us. How could we possibly earn?”

If Su Han were here, he would instantly recognize that this young man was indeed Su Zhe, whom he once met in the South Sea Territory!

Beside Su Zhe stood Lin Jia, holding onto his arm, her delicate face filled with tension and anger.

Clearly, Lin Jia had followed Su Zhe to the Eastern Heaven Realm and learned about the current predicament of the Su Family.

”You also know we’ve besieged your Su Family?”

Mui Tiehui sneered, ”Su Zhe, tell me, in this world, what is the most powerful? If you don’t know, let me tell you, fists! Fists are the most powerful!”

”Since you know the Su Family has been besieged by us, why waste your breath here? Do you think the Su Family still has the qualifications to negotiate with us?”

”You!”

Su Zhe wanted to speak further, but Lin Jia beside him tugged at him, bringing him back to his senses slightly.

”Even if that’s the case, you can’t just give us ten thousand Spirit Stones and expect us to leave, can you?” Su Zhe restrained the anger in his heart.

”So how much do you want?”

Mui Tiehui’s eyes shifted, and he added, ”Alright then, my Mui Family will add a little, ten thousand and one Spirit Stones. How about that?”

”My Wang Family will add one more, totaling ten thousand and two Spirit Stones. Are you satisfied now? Hahaha...”

After speaking, Wang Ran laughed heartily without restraint.

”You’re going too far!!”

Su Zhe’s face turned red as an intense sense of humiliation welled up inside him.

Over the years, much of the Su Family’s businesses were under his management, and he knew very clearly their true value in Spirit Stones.

Could it be that these three Great Families want to dismiss the Su Family with a mere ten thousand Spirit Stones?

Su Zhe did not want to agree, not even in death!

But what if he didn’t agree? Would gathering all their might to fight to the death solve anything?

With the Su Family’s current strength...

It truly couldn’t be described as fighting to the death, but as seeking death.

Humiliation and helplessness filled Su Zhe’s heart.

At this moment, he even thought of seeking help from the Phoenix Sect. After all, Su Han once told him that if trouble arose, he could seek assistance from the Phoenix Sect.

But...

The disparity between his own status and that of the Phoenix Sect was vast. Su Zhe, being a person with such strong self-respect, really didn’t want to seek the Phoenix Sect.

For a powerhouse like Su Han, it might have been a casual remark. What if they had forgotten, and if he went to seek out the Phoenix Sect, what if they refused?

It would only further turn into a joke for the Three Great Families.

Now the only possible result seemed to be to accept...

Accept the ten thousand Spirit Stones and leave Jingzhou City!

”Let’s go...”

All of a sudden, the Head of the Su Family, who had not spoken, finally did.

He stood up, seeming much older, and even his steps were somewhat faltering.

”Ten thousand Spirit Stones, let it be ten thousand Spirit Stones. By tomorrow, our Su Family will move out of Jingzhou City. Those businesses will be yours.” The elder spoke as he walked.

Hearing this, Su Zhe was completely powerless, and the people of the Su Family could only sigh and express their anger.

”That’s the right decision. The wise recognize current trends!”

Han Tiansheng sneered as he waved his hand, ”Someone, give them five thousand Spirit Stones.”

”What?!”

Su Zhe’s eyes widened as he suddenly looked at Han Tiansheng, ”Wasn’t it ten thousand? How did it become five thousand Spirit Stones?”

”Because I suddenly don’t like your looks. What can you do?” Han Tiansheng sneered.

”You!!”

Under extreme anger, Su Zhe’s face flushed abruptly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

”Five thousand Spirit Stones, take them and leave. If it weren’t for the fact you didn’t have it easy getting here, I wouldn’t even give you that,” Han Tiansheng said.

The Head of the Su Family still did not speak again. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have increased significantly at this moment.

”Family Head!”

Just then, a boy of about seven or eight years old ran in from outside.

”Family Head, there are guests visiting,” the boy said.

”Guests?”

The elder was slightly taken aback and couldn’t help but look at the boy.

The current situation of the Su Family was known throughout Jingzhou City. Who would still be willing to associate with the Su Family?
