Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 558: Chapter 557 [If I Don’t Show My Power, Do You Really Think I’m a Sick Cat?]

Liu Feng, given his age, his status, and the power of the Liu family, never regarded Ye Tianchen highly and always stayed within the Liu family’s research lab underground, focusing on the most advanced scientific research. Liu Feng seldom concerned himself with external matters. After all, the Liu family didn’t need to flatter or appease anyone; they just needed to concentrate on their research. Everything was protected and valued by the highest levels of the state. No matter who became the top leader, the Liu family would always receive attention, for the nation needed progress, development, and protection, which required the Liu family.

As for Ye Tianchen, Liu Feng was very angry. An incident from the past had turned the Liu family into the subject of jokes during casual conversations, tarnishing the innocence of his granddaughter, Liu Rumei. For a girl who had never even been in a relationship, it was a great blow. Perhaps Liu Rumei didn’t take it to heart, but Liu Feng, who doted on her the most, was extremely furious and wanted to kill Ye Tianchen. Had it not been for his granddaughter Liu Rumei, who pleaded on Ye Tianchen’s behalf, suggesting that the incident was suspicious and not entirely Ye Tianchen’s fault, Liu Feng would have indeed ordered Li San to kill Ye Tianchen back then.

Now Ye Tianchen actually dared to visit the Liu family in person. He even dared to ask to see his granddaughter, Liu Rumei. What was he trying to do? Wasn’t the damage from the past incident enough? Now he wanted to entangle himself further? Thinking this, Liu Feng was naturally furious. The granddaughter he loved the most was Liu Rumei, and he would never allow Ye Tianchen to hurt her again.

”Master, I have sparred with Ye Tianchen, and indeed, this young man has greatly increased in strength. I should be careful,” Li San warned.

”Increased strength? Did you lose?” Liu Feng asked frowning.

”Not exactly, I intended to capture this fellow, but at the critical moment, Yong Chun Tai interfered...” Li San explained.

”How many people did he bring with him?” Liu Feng continued.

”Just himself,” replied Li San.

”Hmph, he dares to come to our Liu family alone. Our defense is stronger than Zhongnanhai, which is specifically instructed for protection by the nation’s highest leaders. This time, I won’t let him roll out half-dead from our Liu family again!” Liu Feng declared with a heavy snort.

”Master, just give the order, and I will go and kill Ye Tianchen right now,” Li San quickly offered.

Liu Feng paused, glanced at Li San, and pondered a while. Although he was very cross and extremely angry with Ye Tianchen due to his granddaughter’s incident, Liu Feng was no fool. He had led his family to become one of the leading families through scientific research, even becoming a force that other families dared not provoke. To say that Liu Feng was formidable was an understatement. Moreover, could a person capable of advancing scientific research be foolish?

Despite his anger, Liu Feng was a very wise man. Although he hadn’t heard much about Ye Tianchen recently, from Li San’s expression and tone, he could sense that Ye Tianchen had indeed undergone a transformation, no longer the useless, infamous young master he once was. Furthermore, the fact that he dared to come alone to the Liu family, fearless of stirring Liu Feng’s rage to the point of killing him, indicated that Ye Tianchen was now very calm and bold.

”Let’s go see him together. If Ye Tianchen dares to harm my granddaughter, I will definitely not let him off!” Liu Feng declared as he walked out of the room, with Li San following behind, a vicious smirk on his face.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen was following Yong Chun Tai through the Liu family’s courtyard. Along the way, Ye Tianchen was unleashing his strong Superpower Perception. He discovered that the Liu family indeed had formidable defenses, filled with the presence of high-level experts everywhere. The weakest among them possessed at least late-stage Martial Spirit capabilities, which was extremely formidable and even astounding for him.

Throughout their walk, Ye Tianchen and Yong Chun Tai did not speak, simply moving forward. It was already midnight, and within the vast courtyard of the Liu family, aside from some patrolling armed soldiers, no one else roamed around. Even though many house lights were on, it was likely that the younger generation of the Liu family was still up, engaging in late-night activities.

”Who is this? The laughingstock of the entire Capital City? You dare come to our Liu family again, it seems you really have a death wish!”

Just then, a man in his thirties approached from the opposite direction. He was only about 1.7 meters tall, with side-parted hair, wearing a crisp and shiny suit, and looking at Ye Tianchen with a disdainful and mocking expression.

Ye Tianchen examined the man, finding him somewhat familiar, though not entirely clear in his memory. After careful thought, he finally remembered. This person was Liu Rumei’s cousin, the son of Liu Rumei’s mother’s sister, who had always relied on the Liu family’s influence to do as he pleased, even more boldly than the family’s own members. This cousin, named Zhang Shihao, was highly valued by Liu Feng, who had even considered him as a potential match for his granddaughter, Liu Rumei, whom Zhang Shihao had been pursuing.

Perhaps many would not understand, considering this to be an incestuous marriage. However, the genetic relation between first cousins is quite distant, having negligible impact. For Liu Feng, he simply hoped to find someone who truly loved his granddaughter and would treat her well, someone he could trust. Naturally, Zhang Shihao emerged as the best candidate.

As for Zhang Shihao himself, his family was not prominent, hardly comparable to even a corner of the Liu family. No matter what others said about Liu Rumei, marrying her would legitimize his entry into the Liu family, eventually enabling him to control some of the family’s businesses. Consequently, Zhang Shihao’s wealth and status would rise significantly. Once Liu Feng passed away, he would be exceedingly secure, unable to be challenged by anyone. As for Liu Rumei, she could be cast aside once he had wealth and power, for with money and power, what kind of woman couldn’t he find?

Of course, before this, Zhang Shihao would not reveal himself; the only thing he showed was his composure and generosity, his filial respect for elders, and his deep love for Liu Rumei. He wouldn’t allow anyone to disrupt his plans. Therefore, when he saw Ye Tianchen, he wished he could kill him immediately. He had to do it; he had to act this way.

”Zhang Shihao, are you still lingering around the Liu family? Got addicted to playing the lapdog?” Ye Tianchen, blunt and sharp in his words, was never polite to someone hypocritical like Zhang Shihao.

”What... what did you say, say that again?” Zhang Shihao was furious, unable to believe that Ye Tianchen dared to speak to him like that. The Ye family had long since declined, and Ye Tianchen was just trash who used to avoid him. Now not only was he confronting him head-on, but he also dared to insult Zhang Shihao, which was unbearable for Zhang.

”I said you are a dog, a sanctimonious dog who wants to usurp the Liu family’s fortune,” Ye Tianchen said indifferently.

”You... Ye Tianchen, what the hell are you to talk to me like that? Just one word from me could get you killed,” Zhang Shihao shouted furiously, jumping like thunder.

”A good dog doesn’t block the way, move aside, I’m busy!” Ye Tianchen didn’t even deign to look directly at Zhang Shihao; the mere sight of such a petty person would make him sick.

”Fine, fine, I’ll show you Zhang Shihao’s might today, make you kneel and beg for mercy,” Zhang Shihao said fiercely, pointing at Ye Tianchen’s nose.

”Zhang Shihao...”

”Yong Chun Tai, let me handle this matter. I still have a few minutes, It seems I need to show some strength or even if I meet Liu Rumei successfully, I won’t be able to leave smoothly,” Ye Tianchen interrupted Yong Chun Tai.

”But...” Yong Chun Tai glanced at Zhang Shihao, looking somewhat worried.

Little did they know that even before Ye Tianchen could speak, Zhang Shihao, the fool, had already opened his mouth arrogantly: ”Yong Chun Tai, don’t worry, I won’t kill this kid. I haven’t had the desire to kill anyone these days.”

Yong Chun Tai looked at Zhang Shihao and shook her head, thinking that the guy was really idiotic. She wasn’t worried about what would happen to Ye Tianchen, but that Zhang Shihao had provoked Ye Tianchen today. If Ye let his temper flare, Zhang might end up very dead.

Smack!

To such a petty person, such an arrogant dog who sought trouble, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t be polite. He had already dealt with him and had other things to do. He slapped Zhang Shihao, knocking him to the ground.

Zhang Shihao was stunned, feeling as if a slap had hit him squarely, which made the world spin. When he finally came to his senses and touched his face, seeing the blood, he realized that Ye Tianchen’s slap had caused his nose to bleed profusely.

”You little bastard, you’re courting death...”

Smack!

Poor Zhang Shihao, so arrogant and imperious, could not even finish his retort before Ye Tianchen slapped him again. Dealing with hypocrites and sanctimonious people meant aiming for the face. That was Ye Tianchen’s attitude—if you don’t slap such people, they’ll become even more shameless.

This slap sent Zhang Shihao flying more than a meter away, crashing heavily to the ground. Now with a mouth full of blood as well as his nose bleeding, he grimaced in pain. A trace of fear appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ye Tianchen, but arrogance was still there as well. He couldn’t believe Ye Tianchen would really hurt him, nor that Ye could leave the Liu family alive after hitting him. Then he shouted loudly, ”Guards, guards, someone is attacking the Liu family, come here now...”(To be continued.
