Ling Jiu was furious, very furious!
He knew that this world was chaotic, with Direbeasts rampaging, the rise of Arcana, and the unequal distribution of force and resources, making this world more dangerous, more chaotic, and darker than his previous life!
There were many unfair things, and the law could only restrain ordinary people. There were many unfair and unjust things happening every day!
But when it happened to him, Ling Jiu still could not suppress the anger in his heart!
"Who are you?"
The bald Mr. Zhang looked at Ling Jiu with an unfriendly gaze. His men also stopped what they were doing and looked at Ling Jiu coldly.
"I am your daddy!"
Ling Jiu roared, and a fist made of osmium soil suddenly blasted out at Mr. Zhang's chest. With a loud crack, Mr. Zhang spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. He then slammed into the wall with a loud bang before falling to the ground.
Mr. Zhang felt as if all the bones in his body were broken, and he screamed. "What are you waiting for, you bunch of trash? Beat him up!"
"Mr. Zhang, Arcanist, he is an Arcanist!"
The burly men said in a trembling voice. They had just seen Mr. Zhang being sent flying by an earth fist, which meant that the attacker was an Arcanist.
An Arcanist!
That was not something they could handle!
"An Arcanist?"
Mr. Zhang shuddered, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes as he looked at Ling Jiu. "Who are you? What are you trying to do? Don't you dare! "
"What am I trying to do? What do you think I am trying to do? "
Ling Jiu grabbed the air, and the osmium soil turned into a giant hand that grabbed Mr. Zhang in the air.
Mr. Zhang struggled, his legs kicking wildly, but he could not budge the giant osmium hand at all. He could only watch helplessly as he was dragged before Ling Jiu.
"You dog, how dare you hit my dad!"
Ling Jiu raised his hand and gave Mr. Zhang a slap, and the corner of his mouth cracked. "Today, I will make you pay a heavy price for your foolish behavior!"
"You... You are Ling Tianci's son!"
Mr. Zhang shuddered, and his courage suddenly grew. "I was wondering who it was. So it's you, boy, how dare you behave so atrociously here. You have a death wish!"
After knowing Ling Jiu's identity, Mr. Zhang suddenly felt less afraid. He was just a newbie Arcanist who had just awakened his Arcana, what was there to be afraid of? It wasn't like he hadn't dealt with Adepts before.
Moreover, he knew what kind of background the Ling family had. They had no power, no money, and no connections. Only Ling Jiu was lucky enough to awaken his Arcana.
What was there to be afraid of from this kind of family?
"Courting death?"
Ling Jiu gave him another slap.
"Pa —"
With a crisp sound, a few teeth flew out. Director Zhang covered his swollen cheek and roared, "How dare you hit me! I won't let you off!"
"Pa —"
"You bunch of trash, I've raised you for nothing. He's just a rookie Arcanist, what's there to be afraid of? Quickly cripple him for this daddy! "
When the brawny men heard this, they braced themselves and rushed forward. If it was any other powerful Arcanist, they would not even have the courage to fight. But facing a rookie who had just awakened his Arcana, with so many of them, they still had the strength to fight.
Bang, bang, bang —
However, as fast as they came, they left even faster. More than a dozen osmium earth fists formed and smashed over like a swarm of bees. Accompanied by muffled bangs, more than a dozen strong men were all sent flying.
"How is this possible?"
Director Zhang was shocked. His men had gone through professional combat training, and it was not a problem for one of them to fight two or three ordinary people. Yet, they were instantly killed? Was Ling Jiu really a rookie Arcanist?
"Pa —"
While Director Zhang was still in shock, Ling Jiu slapped him again. Ling Jiu was determined to avenge his father, and the slaps did not stop. After a few slaps, Director Zhang's head was swollen like a pig's head, and most of his teeth had fallen out.
"Don't … don't hit me … don't hit me!"
Director Zhang was scared and quickly begged for mercy. "It's not me who wants to deal with your father, it's Director Yang. It has nothing to do with me …"
"Director Yang?"
Ling Jiu stopped.
"Yes, Director Yang! It's Director Yang! "
Director Zhang said with a sad face. "He wanted to use your father to get rid of you, so he asked me to kidnap your father and bring him here. Really, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Which Director Yang?"
Ling Jiu asked coldly.
Without waiting for Director Zhang to answer, Ling Tianci suddenly said, "It really is this guy. I knew that he must be behind the company's collapse. Now it seems that I was right!"
Ling Tianci's hair was disheveled, and his face was bruised and bloodied. But there was no anger or fear in his eyes, only bitterness and disappointment.
"Dad, who the hell is that bastard?" Ling Jiu frowned and asked. "You just said that the collapse of the company is also related to this guy?"
"Don't ask! It has nothing to do with you! "
Ling Tianci sighed.
"Dad!"
Ling Jiu was displeased. "This bastard messed with you so badly, and now he found someone to mess with you. If I don't get my revenge, I won't be able to take it lying down!"
"Don't ask!"
Ling Tianci's tone became stiff. "This is an adult's matter, don't get involved! Go out first, I have something to say to Director Zhang! "
Ling Jiu was a little reluctant, but he did not go against his father's wishes. He turned around and walked out of the office. If dad did not say anything, could he not investigate it himself?
"Director Zhang, go back and tell Director Yang that I will return all the money I owe him, but please ask him not to make things difficult for my son in the future!"
Ling Tianci walked up to Director Zhang. "Otherwise, he will regret it!"
"I will, I will!"
…
Ling Jiu and Ling Tianci left Haitian Debt Collection Company. The father and son were a little silent along the way. When they were about to reach the neighborhood, Ling Tianci said, "Don't tell Xiaotong about what happened today!"
"I know!"
Ling Jiu nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "The Director Yang that Zhang Haitian mentioned should be the Director Yang of the Yang Group, right?"
Ling Tianci paused for a moment and shook his head. "Don't ask! This is an adult matter, don't get involved as a kid! "
Ling Jiu did not seem to hear his father's words and said, "The Yang Group in Lantian Base City is a subsidiary of the Yang Group in Chang 'an Base City, and the highest CEO of the Yang Group in Chang' an Base City is Yang Su?"
Yang Su!!!
Ling Tianci was shocked.
"Dad, if I remember correctly, my mom's name is Yang Su, right?"
Ling Jiu said half-jokingly. "Don't tell me that my mom, whom I have never met, is the highest CEO of the Yang Group?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ling Tianci suddenly became hysterical. "How many times have I told you that your mom is long dead, and she has nothing to do with that woman in the Yang Group. Don't you use that woman to insult your mom!"
Ling Jiu was stunned. He just said it casually, was there a need for such a big reaction?
