Chapter 98: Chapter 98 10000000

Su Luo had passed the examination of the Jiangbei Martial Association, and that very evening, Lin Songbai intended to throw a lavish banquet in celebration for Su Luo, but Su Luo graciously declined.

Nevertheless, Lin Songbai still insisted, determined to celebrate one way or another.

"Little Friend Su, there is no need for such formalities with me. Tonight, I will make the arrangements, just as you have said. We’ll forego a grand affair, but a small gathering to celebrate amongst ourselves is in order."

Seeing Lin Songbai’s enthusiasm, Su Luo found it difficult to turn him down and had to agree.

This also warmed Su Luo’s heart.

Ever since his grandfather’s passing, it had been a long time since he’d experienced such an atmosphere, especially this time, as Lin Songbai did not hesitate to offend Zhou Shihao, risking injury to save him, and afterwards, taking care of him. Su Luo might not have said it out loud, but his heart was filled with gratitude.

"At six o’clock tonight, I will be punctual for our appointment!"

After agreeing with Lin Songbai, Su Luo decided not to go back to Lin Mansion, and instead planned to visit the Su Family Ancestral House.

The money he had was nearly gone, and he had to find a way to make more.

Only in this way could he maintain the resources needed for his cultivation.

"Perhaps I could ask Elder Wei if there’s any dignitary or noble gravely ill, and I could step in to save them, and receive a reward for my efforts!"

After pondering, Su Luo thought this could be a quick way to earn money, and even get those high-ranking officials to procure precious medicinal ingredients for him as compensation.

However, just as Su Luo was about to contact Wei Hongbo after returning to the Su Family Ancestral House several days later, he received an unexpected phone call before he could do so.

It was Chen Boxiong!

"Mr. Su, may I inquire if you are available this afternoon? I’d like to invite you to a banquet."

Upon hearing this, Su Luo knew there was more to it than met the eye. Chen Boxiong was probably not just interested in hosting him, there was likely another reason.

True enough, after Su Luo accepted the invitation and went to the appointment, he realized something was amiss.

Geng Hai, with the strength of the Fifth Stage Inner Strength, had both of his hands bandaged. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Su Luo could see the severe bone damage in his arms, which likely left them beyond complete recovery.

"Mr. Chen, I fear you have asked me here for more than just a banquet?"

Su Luo asked straightforwardly.

Chen Boxiong didn’t beat around the bush, his face showing a bitter smile as he spoke, "I won’t lie to Mr. Su. Today, indeed, there is another matter for which I’d like to ask your help. I’d like you to defeat a martial arts master for me, name your conditions."

Last time, he had tried to recruit Su Luo for himself, but Su Luo had refused; however, he did indicate they could collaborate, so Chen Boxiong thought of Su Luo immediately this time.

"Is Mr. Geng’s injury the work of that person?" Su Luo inquired.

"Exactly. He was an old rival of mine. Back when I made my fortune, we were competitors. He lost to me, I broke one of his arms and drove him out of Jiangbei. Little did I expect, after all these years, he would have diligently cultivated to become a martial arts juggernaut, and this return is for revenge."

"For several days in a row, he has injured many of my men, and even Elder Geng was defeated at his hands and injured last night. He’s given me one final day; he said he would come again before dinner tonight."

While speaking, Chen Boxiong was visibly clenching his teeth, obviously itchy with hatred for his old rival.

"What is his strength?" Su Luo inquired.

Geng Hai then spoke, "His strength should be at the peak of Fifth Stage Inner Strength. I wonder if Mr. Su feels confident?"

"The peak of Fifth Stage Inner Strength?" Su Luo paused before replying, "No problem."

Hearing this, Chen Boxiong’s expression instantly lit up with joy, and he inquired, "Mr. Su, are you perhaps a Sixth Stage of Inner Strength expert?"

The news of Su Luo defeating Bai Yifeng and joining the Jiangbei Martial Association had not yet been made public, and neither Chen Boxiong nor Geng Hai was aware of it.

"Well, if we’re speaking in terms of stages, perhaps I’m at the Fifth Stage, but facing someone who is merely at the peak of the Fifth Stage Inner Strength is not an issue for me." Su Luo stated.

Just the Fifth Stage Inner Strength?

Chen Boxiong’s face flashed with a trace of disappointment. The reason he was confident in Su Luo was because Geng Hai had sworn that Su Luo was stronger than him.

And Geng Hai was also a high-level expert with Fifth Stage Inner Strength, yet he ended up being miserably defeated, almost completely crippling both of his arms. Su Luo was now also an expert of Fifth Stage Inner Strength but was so confident; this made Chen Boxiong wonder if Su Luo was just too young and arrogant, perhaps a bit too disdainful of others.

"Mr. Su, to fight on my behalf today, you can name your price," Chen Boxiong said, though he had his doubts.

Su Luo extended one finger.

"One million?" Chen Boxiong asked.

Su Luo shook his head: "Ten million!"

Although Chen Boxiong hadn’t explicitly said so, Su Luo could guess that if his arch-enemy came again before dinner today, even if he didn’t kill him, he would cripple him.

The life of Chen Boxiong was still valuable; asking for ten million to settle this matter for Chen Boxiong wasn’t too excessive.

This could also solve the pressing financial crisis Su Luo was facing.

Chen Boxiong frowned slightly, but only for less than a second before he nodded, "Alright! Mr. Su, give me an account, and I’ll transfer five million to you first."

Seeing Chen Boxiong’s straightforwardness, Su Luo said, "I can’t be bothered with the hassle. After I’ve solved it for you, just transfer the ten million to me in one go."

Chen Boxiong was slightly surprised, but this also gave him some confidence. He immediately nodded and said, "That’s fine too!"

Next, of course, the host and guest were both delighted!

Su Luo was also calculating the time. If he could resolve the matter before dinner and then rush to the appointment with the Lin Family, there should still be time.

After lunch, Chen Boxiong invited Su Luo to visit the Chen Mansion.

"Dad, you’re finally back."

When they arrived in the living room, they saw a young man and woman sitting on the sofa. Upon seeing Chen Boxiong and his group return, the fashionably dressed young woman immediately stood up, her face showing an excited smile.

The daughter of Chen Boxiong?

Su Luo made a judgment in an instant.

A surprised smile also appeared on Chen Boxiong’s face: "Jingya, how come you’re back?"

"Dad, I brought back a strong fighter to help you settle scores with your nemesis," Chen Jingya said excitedly, pulling the young man next to her and introducing him. "His name is Chu Chenguang, my boyfriend, and he’s also a young and powerful expert from Yanjing."

Chen Boxiong was astonished: "You have a boyfriend? Why didn’t you tell me?"

"I was thinking of giving you a surprise during the New Year. It just so happens that it’s a little earlier than planned," Chen Jingya said with a smile.

At this moment, Chu Chenguang also stepped forward, extended his hand, and said, "Uncle Chen, hello, I am Chu Chenguang. I have now reached the Sixth Stage of Inner Strength."

He had a self-assured smile on his face, as Chen Jingya had told him that the strongest expert around Chen Boxiong was just Geng Hai, who had the Fifth Stage Inner Strength.

"Sixth Stage of Inner Strength?"

Hearing this news, both Chen Boxiong and Geng Hai’s expressions changed simultaneously.

"Hello." Chen Boxiong immediately displayed a smile.

Originally, he was worried that Su Luo, also being of the Fifth Stage Inner Strength, might not be certain to deal with his arch-enemy, but now it seemed that Chu Chenguang, being at the Sixth Stage of Inner Strength, was fully capable.

Moreover, Chu Chenguang appeared to be in his twenties, so young yet possessing such cultivation; his strength and potential seemed to surpass those of Su Luo.

The key point was... that this was also his daughter’s boyfriend, practically half family!

"Dad, with him stepping in, there is absolutely no chance of failure!" Chen Yajing said at this moment.

"Good, good, good!" Chen Boxiong’s face beamed with joy as he became more enthusiastic towards Chu Chenguang. He seemed to have placed his hopes on Chu Chenguang now.
