Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1128: Chapter 1127 Black Widow

Huang Lin and his companions were all stunned. What did the girl mean by her words? Did she intend to have them stay at Qinghe Academy and serve under her?

Seeing that the men remained unmoved, the girl frowned and said, ”What are you standing around for? Come back with me!”

The men exchanged glances, and Huang Lin said awkwardly, ”Lady Frost, we... we told Lü Donglin that we would leave Qinghe Academy today. If we go back now, Lü Donglin...”

”What about Lü Donglin!” the girl cut him off, ”If he asks, just tell him I told you to come back. If he has a problem with that, let him come to me!”

The men looked uncomfortable. Such words could be spoken by the girl, but they were words they could not say. In front of Lü Donglin, wouldn’t he kill them if they spoke like that?

Seeing that the men were still indifferent, the girl became annoyed, ”Didn’t you hear what I said? Hurry up and go back! Are you afraid of Lü Donglin, or are you afraid of me?”

The men looked morose and silent for a long time before finally following the girl back to Qinghe Academy obediently.

There was no choice—after going back, at worst, they would be severely injured by Lü Donglin and then thrown out of Qinghe Academy.

But if they offended this girl, their fate would be much worse, and they could forget about having any kind of future in Capital City.

In fact, there was a small hope in their hearts. If this demoness of the Capital City clashed with a character like Lü Donglin, what would the outcome be? They could now wait and see.

Everyone followed the girl back to the dormitory building, and the news soon reached Lü Donglin through his subordinates.

Lü Donglin happened to be sitting with Su Yang when he heard the news and couldn’t help but laugh.

”This Chaos Devil King has arrived too; now things will get interesting,” Lü Donglin said with a smile.

Bai Qing stood beside him and laughed as well: ”That Chen girl is the absolute ruler in Capital City. Brother, what will you do now? The Chen girl won’t let those people leave!”

”Then let’s let her have her way,” Lü Donglin said lightly, seeming quite indifferent.

Su Yang was surprised, ”Who exactly is this Chen girl?”

”Your friend’s sister,” Lü Donglin laughed, ”Chen Benshuang.”

”Chen Benhao’s sister?” Su Yang exclaimed, shocked to learn that Chen Benhao had a sister, and that she was a ruler of Capital City no less.

”Is Chen Benshuang very strong?” Su Yang asked curiously.

”So-so,” Lü Donglin described briefly.

”Then how did she become the ruler of Capital City?” Su Yang asked in astonishment.

”Because she has someone powerful backing her,” Bai Qing simply said.

Su Yang was even more astonished. How was that a reason? Just because someone powerful was backing her, she became the ruler of Capital City? But all the scions in Capital City were backed by powerful people, weren’t they? The Chen Family’s standing in Capital City was indeed not low, ranking third, but there were still two families above them.

Moreover, the gap between the top ten families was not large.

Under such circumstances, how could Chen Benhao’s sister become the ruler of Capital City regardless of who was backing her?

And considering the attitude of Huang Lin and the others, they seemed quite afraid of Chen Benshuang; what was really going on here?

These scions from the great families might show you some respect because of who’s behind you, but they wouldn’t fear you. If there was a big conflict, all the families would come forward; who would actually tear their faces apart? This idea of having someone’s backing seemed improbable in the same circle of scions; what was really going on?

Seeing Su Yang’s confusion, Lü Donglin explained with a smile, ”Because the person backing her is no ordinary person.”

”The Chen Family’s old grandfather likes her that much?” Su Yang wondered.

”The Chen Family’s old grandfather does not have that capability,” Lü Donglin said.

”What?” Su Yang was stunned; if the Chen Family’s old grandfather did not have the capability, then who did?

”The person backing her is known as Black Widow,” Lü Donglin revealed, ”Her elder brother’s wife.”

”Black Widow?” Su Yang was even more puzzled, the nickname sounding rather venomous.

But who exactly was this Black Widow, and how could she be more capable than the Chen Family’s old grandfather?

”Actually, fifteen years ago, the Chen Family was at the bottom among the Ten Great Families of Capital City,” Lü Donglin continued, ”It was after the Black Widow married into the family that she single-handedly elevated the Chen Family to its current position. And the moniker ’Black Widow’ comes from her ruthlessness. She has wiped out nine families in Capital City. Apart from the Martial Champion Family, every major family in Capital City has lost important members to her. There’s a saying in Capital City, ’Better to provoke the Martial Champion than to mess with the Black Widow.’”

Su Yang was dumbfounded. Better to provoke the Martial Champion than to mess with the Black Widow? Was the Black Widow even more formidable than the Martial Champion?

”Of course, that doesn’t mean the Black Widow’s strength surpasses the Martial Champion’s,” Lü Donglin clarified, ”It’s mainly because if you provoke the Martial Champion, there’s still room for reasoning and ways to resolve the issue. But if you provoke the Black Widow, then you can brace for death as there’s no reasoning with her.”

”Really?” Su Yang was shocked, ”What kind of strength does this Black Widow have? Many important members from the big families in Capital City have died at her hands; don’t these families seek revenge?”

”They would like to take revenge, but they don’t have the power to do so,” Lü Donglin said, ”Black Widow herself is very powerful. It’s said that three sons of the Martial Champion were defeated by her. In Capital City, if the Martial Champion doesn’t act, she is considered the foremost. Moreover, the background of the Black Widow is the most crucial.”

At this point, Lü Donglin looked at Su Yang, ”Brother Su, you should be careful now; you’ve already made an enemy of the Black Widow.”

”Why?” Su Yang was astonished; he had never even met this person.

”Because she is from the Su Family of Yanbei!” Lü Donglin revealed, ”Chen Benhao went to Pingnan Province to propose marriage on behalf of the Su Family at her personal instruction! The person from the Su Family who wanted to marry Ye Wantong is considered her cousin.”

Su Yang suddenly understood the situation.

No wonder the Black Widow could act so unbridled in Capital City—not only because of her terrifying personal strength but also because of such a background.

However, Su Yang wouldn’t have known about his grudge with the Black Widow if not for Lü Donglin’s explanation.

It seemed that his days in Capital City were going to be difficult.

Thinking back to the earlier incident of Fang Ping’s murder, Su Yang even suspected that it might have been the Black Widow pulling strings.

Su Yang had not yet met the Black Widow, but the conflict between them had already begun, which left him speechless. It seemed he really had to be vigilant and wary of the Black Widow in the future.
