Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1249: Chapter 1248 Two Methods

Chen Jiu’s expression changed. He had made a very generous offer, yet Su Yang had outright rejected it. It was clear from Su Yang’s attitude that he was determined to fight the Chen Family to the bitter end.

”What do you actually want?” Chen Jiu asked.

”It’s simple: kill all the members of your Chen Family!” Su Yang replied calmly.

”Do you think you can do that?” Chen Jiu asked coldly.

”Let’s try. If not today, we can take our time later. There will come a day when it can be done!” Su Yang responded slowly.

”You!” Chen Jiu was furious and wanted to curse, but ultimately suppressed his anger. Taking a deep breath, he said sternly, ”Su Yang, let’s not talk big. Just tell me, how can we resolve tonight’s matter?”

”You’re asking me for a solution, not the other way around. Shouldn’t you think about how to resolve it yourself?” Su Yang said coldly. ”You expect me to help you sort out these people? Are you out of your mind? Do you really think I’m stupid? What kind of integrity does your Chen Family have, don’t you know it yourself? And you’re here making promises to me, are you serious?”

Chen Jiu, enraged, wanted to retort but ultimately couldn’t say a word. The deeds of Chen Benhong were indeed not honorable, and he had no ground to defend.

”This time, I personally guarantee it!” Chen Jiu said. ”Don’t you trust me?”

”I don’t trust you!” Su Yang replied flatly.

Chen Jiu was nearly bursting with anger but, considering the situation of his family, he swallowed his anger.

”Then what exactly do you want?” Chen Jiu asked. ”Just say something workable and we can discuss it. You should know, by tonight you have thoroughly offended all the major families in the Capital City. Even though the city is in chaos now, this chaos will eventually be resolved. Once we free up our hands, there will be no more room for negotiation!”

”Are you trying to scare me?” Su Yang retorted.

”I’m just laying out the situation for you. What decision you make is up to you!” Chen Jiu said.

”Heh...” Su Yang sneered again, ”My stance remains the same. I want to kill all the people of your Chen Family!”

Chen Jiu was furious, ”You really won’t consider negotiating? Are you planning to just stand by and watch everyone fight to the death? Don’t forget, if many from my Chen Family die, your side won’t come out of it any better!”

”You actually have a point there!” Su Yang said. ”These people were saved by me, they are considered my friends now. If they all die here in battle, it would indeed weigh on my conscience. So, there really is no need for us to fight to the death like this!”

Chen Jiu’s eyes lit up, as Su Yang’s words suggested there was room for negotiation.

”Then hurry up and make them stop fighting!” Chen Jiu urged anxiously. ”Continuing like this will only lead to greater casualties, which is completely pointless!”

Su Yang shook his head, looking around at the people who were already blinded by rage, and said softly, ”Do you think if I ask them to stop now, they will?”

Chen Jiu looked around, his frown deepening. Although these people had been saved by Su Yang, their hatred for the Chen Family was deep-rooted, stemming from being imprisoned and tortured by the Chen Family for so long. They were desperate to take revenge, even at the cost of their own lives, which was why the Chen Family was losing.

Stopping the fight at this point seemed truly difficult!

”However, I do have a method that can make them stop fighting,” Su Yang suddenly said with a smile.

”What method?” Chen Jiu asked, his brow furrowing tighter. He knew that whatever method Su Yang proposed wouldn’t be simple.

”To make them stop fighting, you need to at least quell their rage,” Su Yang said. ”They have been imprisoned and tortured by your Chen Family for a long time. The first thing they want upon release is revenge, at all costs, including their lives. If you don’t calm their rage, asking them to stop fighting is just a pipe dream.”

”How can we calm their rage?” Chen Jiu asked gravely, well-aware that calming their rage would definitely cost the Chen Family. But he had no choice but to ask; if the fighting continued, even if the Chen Family managed to kill all these people, the price would be extremely painful.

For a major family, it was definitely impossible to engage in a battle driven purely by anger. How to ensure the family’s long-term stability and prosperity was crucial. On such matters, the family could even make other concessions!

”There are two ways,” Su Yang said aloud. ”First, have the Chen Family Head come out and apologize publicly!”

”Impossible!” Chen Jiu replied firmly. The Chen Family Head was the face of the Chen Family, their representative in public. If he apologized, it would be as if the entire Chen Family had lost face, which they would never agree to.

Su Yang’s words were also heard by others. The Chen Family’s people all showed disdain, thinking that Su Yang’s demand was utterly preposterous. How could the Chen Family Head possibly apologize? That was the face of their family!

”Then the second method...” Su Yang said with a slight smile, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, ”Have ten senior members of your Chen Family come out and commit suicide to apologize!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted, and the members of the Chen Family roared angrily.

”Fuck that, why don’t those bastards die ten of their own?”

”What right do you have to bargain with our Chen Family? Fuck, just a prisoner under our custody, and you dare to negotiate terms here?”

”I say, you should be the ones bowing and apologizing here, and then that Su guy should commit suicide to apologize. Then we might consider letting you live!”

”That’s right, bow and apologize, and Su should commit suicide!”

Listening to the angry shouts of the Chen Family members, Su Yang sneered loudly, ”Then there’s nothing to talk about, continue the fight! Tonight, I stand with you, to live and die together. I want the senior members of the Chen Family to be completely wiped out!”

Those who had been released from the dungeon, already furious from the arrogant words of the Chen Family members, were now energized by Su Yang’s call. They yelled out in unison.

”Kill! May the Chen Family seniors be wiped out!”

”Damn it, let’s kill as many as we can. Even if I die here today, as long as I can get my revenge, I am willing!”

”What’s there to talk about? With these sons of bitches, what’s there to discuss? Kill, kill, kill!”

Seized by fury, they charged once more, clashing violently with the members of the Chen Family.

This time, their outrage only intensified, and their attacks became even more frenzied. In no time, the scene was littered with casualties. Those in the Chen Family who had been loudest in their taunts were now being beaten back, completely at a disadvantage.
