Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 608: Chapter 607 Su Yang’s Decision

The members of the Wang Family began to cry out as well, while the others present were all staring at the remaining few Family Heads.

These Family Heads exchanged looks, trembling all over. They wanted to step forward and swallow the orb of light, but they didn’t dare to do it, all of them hesitating and watching.

”I’ll count down for the last time!” Su Yang said in a cold voice, ”Three! Two! One!”

As Su Yang’s voice fell, the remaining few Family Heads collapsed to the ground, having ultimately lacked the courage to swallow the orb of light.

The crowd at the scene erupted into chaos, with members of these families roaring with rage, berating their leaders for not sacrificing themselves for them. After all, with Feng Beiche and Wang Yuanshan setting precedents, the survival of these Family Heads was even more despicable.

The faces of these Family Heads turned ugly, but they ignored the shouts around them. They truly did not want to die!

”Time’s up, and since you haven’t made your choice, so be it,” Su Yang said with icy indifference. ”Feng Beiche, Wang Yuanshan, rise!”

”What?” The crowd burst into noise, all of them astonished. Weren’t these two people dead?

Just then, the bodies of Feng Beiche and Wang Yuanshan lying on the ground actually opened their eyes and slowly stood up.

Both of them had expressions of confusion on their faces, clearly not understanding what their current situation was.

The crowd was even more flabbergasted, what on earth was going on?

”I... I’m not dead?” Wang Yuanshan asked uncertainly, glancing around him.

No one could answer his question, and Feng Beiche stared at Su Yang in shock: ”Master Su, I... I swallowed the orb, I’m not dead, this... It can’t be my fault, right...?”

”Swallowing the orb, one wouldn’t have died in the first place!” Su Yang said coldly.

”Ah?” The crowd was all astounded, swallow the orb and not die? How could that be possible?

”That was just some smoke and mirrors,” Su Yang said coldly. ”Congratulations, the two of you have passed my test.”

”Test?” Everyone was baffled again, it was actually a test.

Especially the remaining few Family Heads, who now had the urge to cry. It was all a test, and swallowing the orb didn’t lead to death? If they had known this earlier, they would have swallowed it too!

”What... What kind of test is this?” Feng Beiche asked in surprise.

”To test whether you are truly remorseful, whether you truly bear the responsibility!” Su Yang said coldly.

Feng Beiche and Wang Yuanshan exchanged looks. What was Su Yang testing this for?

Su Yang said coldly, ”Feng Beiche, Wang Yuanshan, if you kill all those from your families who went to Creek Valley Village to kill people, and those who planned this whole thing, then your families can continue to exist!”

The two of them were first stunned, then overjoyed.

The situation Su Yang was now describing was vastly different from before.

Previously, Su Yang had said to kill all those involved in the matter, and ”involved” covered a much broader scope.

Now, Su Yang was asking only for the killers and planners of the Creek Valley Village incident, which meant they would now have to kill far fewer people. Their families could retain a significant portion of their members, with their strength hardly altered.

Feng Beiche and Wang Yuanshan’s families were among those less involved in the affair.

But if they had to kill everyone involved, most of their family members would have died, leaving likely not even a third of the original numbers.

Now, with Su Yang’s revised terms, the situation changed rapidly. The people they had to kill were very few, likely not even one fifth of the family members. In other words, around eighty percent could still survive, which was a large number!

At this point, Su Yang turned toward Patriarch Leu, Head of the Zhou Family, and others, his voice cold: ”As for you, it’s the same as before. All those who were involved in this matter must die!”

The faces of these Family Heads grew extremely ugly, and the members of their families also started to clamor, all cursively blaming these Family Heads.

If they had been brave enough to swallow the orb and passed Su Yang’s test, they wouldn’t have fallen to this point.

Now, the majority of their families would still have to die, all because of their actions; how could the people not be furious?

In fact, they themselves were filled with extreme regret. If they had known it would come to this, they would have definitely swallowed the orb. But in this world, there’s no medicine for regret!

”Furthermore...” Su Yang said coldly, ”we don’t want the two hundred billion you offered as compensation!”

The crowd was stunned; Su Yang was refusing such a huge sum of two hundred billion?

”But, I want all the assets of the other five major families!” Su Yang continued coldly. ”Feng Beiche, Wang Yuanshan, I won’t touch a single thing from your two families!”

At those words, some rejoiced while others despaired.

Who could have anticipated that Feng Beiche and Wang Yuanshan, by taking a gamble, would reap such huge benefits? Not only was the lives of most of their family members spared, but they also got to keep their assets, which was most important of all.

”However, your two families must do one thing for me!” Su Yang said coldly.

Feng Beiche and Wang Yuanshan almost simultaneously bowed deeply: ”Master Su, please tell us. No matter the risks, we will devote ourselves entirely!”

”I want you to manage the assets of the five major families for me!” Su Yang said coldly.

The two of them were startled; could such good fortune be true?

”The assets of these five major families belong to the people of Creek Valley Village and will be put in their names. All profits go to the people of Creek Valley Village as compensation!”

Su Yang glanced coldly at Feng Beiche and Wang Yuanshan and continued in a cold voice, ”And your two families must manage the assets of these five major families from now on, work for them, earn money for them as atonement!”

Feng Beiche and Wang Yuanshan finally understood Su Yang’s intentions. He didn’t want their money, but they still had to make amends.

However, this was the best outcome for them.

Assigning some people to manage the assets of the five major families was not difficult.

Being able to keep their families and their own assets was already no easy feat.

Just as Su Yang had said, if Su Yang hadn’t assigned them to work for the people of Creek Valley Village, they would have truly feared what was in their hearts!

What’s more, while the profits of the assets of the five major families would go to the people of Creek Valley Village, managing those assets could still make their own assets more profitable, which was indeed a good thing.

”Master Su, rest assured, we will give it our all!” Feng Beiche and Wang Yuanshan hastened to say: ”The assets of the five major families will only improve, and there will surely be no problems at all!”

Su Yang nodded slowly, then turned to the other Family Heads, his voice cold: ”Now, it’s time to deal with your matters. Not only must all your family members who were involved die, but all of you as well must die!”
