Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 599: Chapter 598 Wanchuan Manor

Wanchuan Manor, located in Zifeng City, is the largest and most luxurious manor around.

This manor was established by the Ling Family, one of the Seven Great Families, and it is not open to the public. Only members of the Seven Great Families and some closely associated individuals have access to this place.

Tonight, Wanchuan Manor was bustling with numerous members of the Seven Great Families. Many of the younger generation had come to participate in the gathering.

Every year, when the River God Sect opens, the Seven Great Families convene for a meeting. The reason being that the families send representatives to the River God Sect and bring back many valuable items. Thus, they gather here in advance to discuss how to divide the spoils acquired from the River God Sect.

As was the case this evening, key members of the Seven Great Families were present, and Wanchuan Manor was radiant with lights and lively with celebration.

Five black sedans pulled up to the entrance of the manor; Su Yang was driving the leading car, accompanied by Wang Feng.

”Mr. Su, there’s Wanchuan Manor ahead!” Wang Feng spoke with a tinge of dread, keeping his voice low, ”Maybe we shouldn’t go any further. Wanchuan Manor usually doesn’t allow outsiders to approach casually. Especially tonight, with only the Seven Great Families holding a meeting inside, if we get too close, I bet they won’t be pleased.”

”Not pleased?” Su Yang chuckled, ”My visit today wasn’t meant to bring joy to the Seven Great Families anyway.”

”Ah?” Wang Feng was stunned. What was Su Yang planning to do? A direct confrontation with the Seven Great Families? With their power, wasn’t this no different from seeking death for Su Yang?

”Mr. Su, I know you hold a significant status in Pingnan Province. But even a brave man shouldn’t willingly take a beating,” Wang Feng said softly, proposing, ”If there’s really an issue with the Seven Great Families, how about we go back, gather some more manpower, and then take action? Now... now is not the right time. The people you brought with you... I... I don’t think they are capable of fighting...”

The people Su Yang brought with him were not just incapable of fighting; they were essentially helpless. Seated in the cars were mostly the old, weak, sick, and disabled—the refugees from Laolin Village, hardly any better off than Old Lin himself.

”I alone am enough,” Su Yang stated calmly.

Wang Feng was utterly dumbfounded, looking at Su Yang with confused disbelief. Was this man a fool? To make such an arrogant claim?

At that moment, a cellphone suddenly rang. Wang Feng picked up the phone, and his expression immediately shifted. He gestured for silence to Su Yang and cautiously answered the call.

”Wang Feng, where the hell have you been?” An angry female voice screeched from the other end.

”I... I’m handling some business outside,” Wang Feng hastily whispered back, ”I’m almost done with it. The phone was left in the car, I didn’t hear it ring, so... so I missed your call...”

”Stop making excuses for me. Did you grow bolder lately, ignoring my calls and lying to me?!” The woman’s voice on the phone was furious, ”Wang Feng, have you forgotten how my family treated you when you came to Zifeng City? You had nothing when you arrived, and it was my family who took you in, giving you the life you have now. Have you grown wings now, gotten braver, huh? Daring to lie to me? Don’t forget, you’re still working at my brother’s factory!”

Wang Feng’s face was the picture of embarrassment as he responded anxiously, ”Honey, I’m sorry, I... I was wrong. I really have some things to handle here, and I’ll be done soon. I’ll come to see you right away...”

”Don’t give me that nonsense!” the woman yelled, ”My brother just called, saying you took a car from the factory. What do you need to go out for? Are you meeting a lover? Wang Feng, do you really think you’re untouchable now? My brother said that if you dare to cross me, he’d immediately have someone break your legs, so you’ll spend your life crawling to beg!”

Hearing the shrill voice, Wang Feng was getting fed up. This woman had been oppressing him for years, and he had been holding back his anger.

”Go to hell, tell your brother to come and try to break my legs!” Wang Feng cursed vehemently, ”If he doesn’t break my legs, I’ll break his damned legs!”

The woman on the phone went silent, clearly shocked by Wang Feng’s outburst; he had never raised his voice to her before. The idea that he would dare to curse at her like this was inconceivable.

Wang Feng hung up the phone, turned to Su Yang with an embarrassed chuckle, and muttered, ”Women... they don’t understand. It’s nothing.”

Su Yang nodded slowly without another word. Even without Wang Feng’s confession, Su Yang could see that these years in Zifeng City had not been easy for him.

But Wang Feng didn’t want others to see his disappointment, so he always hid it. Tonight, as Su Yang was about to face a major clash with the Seven Great Families, a distraught Wang Feng couldn’t hold back any longer.

Their vehicles quickly reached the gate of the manor, where a group of men in black suits with earpieces and walkie-talkies, looking highly professional, was standing. As the cars approached, they waved from a distance, signaling for the vehicles to park to the side.

These men were arrogant, even contemptuous. After all, this was the Seven Great Families’ manor. In Zifeng City, who else could be compared to them?

Su Yang slowly brought the car to a stop. A leader-like man approached and demanded coldly, ”What do you want?”

”I’m here to see the Family Heads of the Seven Great Families!” Su Yang replied calmly.

”See the Family Heads?” The man frowned, sizing up Su Yang, then turned his gaze to the cars behind him. The sedans were quite ordinary, incomparable to the million-dollar luxury cars usually seen inside the manor.

”Who do you think you are? You can’t just see the Family Heads of the Seven Great Families whenever you want!” The man shouted in anger, ”They’re busy—get lost!”

Su Yang’s brow furrowed as he retorted coldly, ”I’ll count to three. You open the gate and get out of the way. Or else, I’ll kill you and go in.”

The man became enraged, waving a machete and cursing at Su Yang, ”Go fuck yourself, kill me? Come on down and try, down here! Let’s see how capable you are to kill someone in the Seven Great Families’ territory. Let me tell you, if I don’t die today, I’m going to make sure you do!”

The others started to crowd around, ready to charge at Su Yang and kill him on their leader’s command.

”One!” Su Yang said icily.

”You really dare to count, huh!” The man bellowed, ”Drag him out of there!”

A few men immediately rushed forward as Su Yang calmly declared, ”Two!”
