Chapter 163: Chapter 163- Who Are You?

The Second Elder had interacted with the alchemist the most as such it didn’t take him time to quickly put the two and two together. That said, he still felt guilty about the current state of the Zhang clan.

If only he had heard the words of the fourth elder and given more importance to the background of that alchemist, then perhaps all of this could have been avoided.

"Clan leader, what is to be done of them?" The third elder pointed at a group of people who were currently tied and kneeling in the middle of the hall.

They had several bruises and wounds on their bodies, it was clear that they had been tortured upon. However aside from this fact, what was peculiar about them was that all of them had the same garb, that is they were donned in a black robe and more or less had the same height and physique as Yang Chen.

This was also the reason why they were tied and tortured upon.

"Well from the Fifth Elder’s words, it is clear that they are not the one we are looking for. That said, even though they are not the ones we have business with, we can’t just allow them to go back after all that they have learned. Third Elder, I leave their fate to your discretion"

Zhang Zhehan declared. Although he said that he left it to the third elder’s discretion, it was obvious that their fate was already sealed. Now that they know about the internal situation of the Zhang clan, these people even if they were innocent, cannot be spared.

"Hehe, leave it to me" The Third Elder smiled, his hands that were itching to take out their frustration finally found an outlet.

"P-Please spare, I am just an ordinary merchant, I have never offended the Zhang clan"

The first person that the Third Elder stopped in front of, begged for their life. Their body shuddered like a leaf. However, facing the pleading man, the third elder simply raised his leg and delivered a kick powered by his Battle Master level strength.

It needs to be mentioned that the Third elder of the Zhang Clan, Zhang Zhao was a powerful practioner in the Five Star Battle Master stage.

He was not only famous in the Cloud City for his powerful strength and being the disciplinary elder of the Zhang clan, but also for his ruthlessness and cold blooded attitude that did not even spare his own clan members.

So it could be imagined what would happen to a merchant whose strength was only at the early stages of the Battle Apprentice class. That kick from Zhang Zhao immediately broke his rib bones, punctured his lungs and bent his body in an impossible way.

The strength behind that kick was so great that the merchant’s body flew all the way to the end of the hall where the body lay there in a pool of its blood. It was obvious that the person was dead.

"Tch... that one died too quickly. I must control my strength or else I can’t enjoy myself" Zhang Zhao muttered after killing the man.

"Hiiieee!! Please spare us. We will do anything that the Zhang clan will ask us, just don’t kill us"...

"We did not hear anything. We swear we will not say anything that happened here outside"..

With the merchant serving as the example of what would happen of them, the crowd started growing frantic as they begged and pleaded in all ways to convince the third elder to spare them.

However, all of their begging fell on deaf ears. The Zhang clan wasn’t what it appeared on the outside. Far from it, the clan was the very definition of an immoral clan that maintained its appearance outside and was rotten on the inside.

What the people of the Cloud City did not know was that the Zhang clan was not any upright clan, but a clan of criminals who had committed countless crimes over the years, their hands stained with the blood of many innocents.

Behind the elegant façade that they maintained, the Zhang clan operated a network of criminal activities, ranging from arson, murder, robbery, kidnapping, extortion, and blackmail, the clan had a hand in everything.

They exploited their position of power to maintain control, crushing anyone who dared to oppose them. The reason why the people of the cloud city do not know about all of their actions is because it was carefully erased and covered up, leaving no trace for the word to spread.

Those that did know were either silenced or zipped their mouth pretending not to know anything. After all, the Zhang clan’s reign over Cloud City was absolute, and its influence extended far and wide.

Its web of connections reached deep into the city’s affairs, making it nearly impossible for anyone to challenge their authority.

What was happening right now was not anything unusual for the Zhang clan, however, to these people who were not used to seeing this side of the Zhang clan, it was a stark reminder that the Zhang clan was not to be trifled with.

"Hoho, that means that you did hear everything. How can I spare you knowing that you know about the secret that our clan is trying its best to conceal?" Zhang Zhao picked the man who spoke out last, grabbing the man by the neck the third elder questioned him while gazing at his eyes that were masked with tears and fear.

"P-Please spare me... I have a family I have to take care of?" the man plead.

"Don’t we all? Hehe, I’m sick and tired of hearing this line so many times in my life. If your family can’t do without you, then that is their fate. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for dressing up like that".

BANG... right after Zhang Zhao finished speaking, he delivered a punch that dug deeply into the guts of the man and sent him flying where the dead body of the merchant was.
