The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law
Chapter 308 - 299

Chapter 308: Chapter 299

"Indeed, it’s too domineering," Long Chen said, smiling, "but I believe that it is better to suffer for a short while than to be in pain for a long time. If we begin to fear now, it’s better to leave early. In this life, I, Long Chen, will inevitably be unable to sever ties with killing."

Long Chen smiled.

He was extremely calm, composed and serene.

"You..."

Xia Ling was angered, but for a moment, she was at a loss for words.

Actually, they all understood that Long Chen was speaking the truth.

However, Long Chen’s manner of speaking was not right which made them uncomfortable.

In fact, if Long Chen were to recover his memory, he would definitely not speak in such a tone.

It was precisely because he had not recovered his memory and some feelings had not returned that he was so unrestrained, and he didn’t even realize he was wrong.

Seeing Long Chen’s attitude, Xia Ling wanted to say something but was stopped by Li Yuechan.

Li Yuechan leaned toward Xia Ling’s ear and whispered something.

Xia Ling looked stunned and then suddenly let go, stopped talking, and it was unclear what Li Yuechan had told her.

Before long, the car arrived at the Dragon Shadow Group’s parking lot.

But just as the car stopped, Long Chen stopped Li Yuechan and the others from getting out.

"What’s wrong?" Li Yuechan asked.

"There’s danger," Long Chen said softly.

Then, Long Chen got out of the car alone.

Bang.

Long Chen steadied himself, and a gunshot ripped through the air.

With two fingers, Long Chen caught the bullet that flew toward him.

Then, flicking his finger, Long Chen sent the bullet back on its original path.

A few dozen meters away, behind a van, an unremarkable-looking man was struck by the returning bullet and instantly fell.

Long Chen didn’t even glance at this man because he knew that this low-level assassin was not the main character.

His gaze fixed directly toward the edge of the parking lot where a disheveled old man stood.

The old man looked like a beggar, ragged and with a somewhat blurry gaze.

If it were someone else, they would definitely be deceived by his appearance.

But this old man, could not deceive Long Chen.

From him, Long Chen sensed an aura belonging to a cultivator.

The aura of spiritual power was hard to hide in front of a higher realm.

Step by step, Long Chen approached the old man and spoke lightly, "Stop pretending. Tell me, why are you targeting the Dragon Shadow Group?"

The old man, as if he hadn’t heard, continued to gnaw on the dirty bun in his hand.

Long Chen’s brows furrowed, ready to make a move.

But just then, Zhao Churan ran down from the car, "Stop."

"What’s wrong?" Long Chen asked.

Zhao Churan said, "This old man has been around the parking lot recently. He’s homeless and certainly not a bad person. Husband, please don’t wrong a good person."

"Is that so?" Long Chen scoffed, "Then think carefully, have you all been facing many calamities every day ever since this old man appeared?"

"That...might just be a coincidence," Zhao Churan said.

Long Chen smiled and said, "Perhaps his aim isn’t to kill you but to see if he can draw out the superiors behind the Dragon Shadow Group. If he can’t draw them out, it means that there are no longer any powerful figures in the Dragon Shadow Group that can threaten him, and then, he can eliminate you all without any worries."

"Is...is it really like that?"

Zhao Churan was bewildered.

"Wait until I kill him, and you’ll know if it’s true or false."

Suddenly, Long Chen raised his hand and slapped toward the crouching old man.

Unexpectedly, his hand hit nothing.

The old man was still on the ground but rapidly dissipated.

This, was merely an afterimage.

The real old man was already ten meters away.

He slowly straightened up, tidied his disheveled hair, and his dull eyes were no longer dull, becoming spirited and extremely sharp.

"Can’t keep up the act any longer?" Long Chen scoffed, "You could have been a decent person, but instead, you chose to be a dog here, begging for food every day. You are the first master I’ve seen who stoops so low."

"It seems you are undoubtedly the mastermind behind the Dragon Shadow Group. Being able to lure you out, the old man’s mission is accomplished."

The old man grinned, revealing his large yellow teeth.

"Your mission might be completed, but you won’t be able to leave today."

Long Chen smiled faintly.

"Heh, the old man wants to leave, no one can stop him, farewell."

After saying that, the old man instantly turned around.

It seemed he was still in front, but in fact, he had already gone far.

The corners of Long Chen’s mouth lifted, and his figure immediately disappeared from the spot.

The next second, twenty meters away, a scream sounded.

Then, with a thud, the old man instantly fell to the ground, his head smashed and bleeding.

"I told you, you can’t escape."

Long Chen stepped on the old man’s chest.

The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, and Long Chen quickly withdrew his foot, not wanting his shoes to be stained with blood.

But after the old man spat blood, Long Chen stepped on his chest again.

Zhao Churan covered her mouth, stunned.

She never expected this old man to be a terrifying hidden presence.

In the car, Li Yuechan and the others got out one after another.

After briefly understanding the situation from Zhao Churan, Li Yuechan, Xia Ling, and Li Yuexin were all somewhat dumbfounded.

"I always thought he was a poor old man, I never expected him to be hiding so deeply."

Li Yuechan was frightened after thinking back.

"Yes, if he had attacked us earlier, we probably wouldn’t have escaped."

"It seems he just wanted to use us to catch a bigger fish," Xia Ling said seriously.

Not far away, Long Chen looked down at the old man and said lightly, "Tell me, who instructed you to do this? If you tell the truth, I might let you go."

"Nothing to say."

The old man was stubborn.

"No matter, we can take our time."

Long Chen smiled brightly.

Then, without any hesitation, Long Chen crushed the old man’s right hand with his foot.

The old man let out a mournful scream, his face turning pale.

Long Chen said with a faint smile, "Your right hand is smashed, you still have your left hand, and both legs. After all those are broken, if you still don’t talk, I will spare your life, but by that time, how you will leave this parking lot, I won’t know."

"You are a demon."

The old man trembled in fear.

"So you better cooperate, and not test my patience, or I will make you beg for life and death."

Long Chen was expressionless.

The old man was thoroughly terrified, from this brief encounter, he could fully feel the terror of this young man who definitely meant what he said, not to be underestimated, and certainly not to be gambled with.

"Will you talk?" Long Chen asked.

"I’ll talk," the old man gritted his teeth, "We are people from the Heavenly God Temple."

"Heavenly God Temple?"

Long Chen frowned, "What’s this Heavenly God Temple?"

"Heavenly God Temple is one of Great Xia’s strongest forces. Your ignorance only shows how uninformed you are."

The old man said angrily.

"Oh."

Long Chen then stomped on the old man’s head, crushing it.

The old man died miserably, without even having a chance to scream.
