Chapter 2958: Chapter 2978: Wealthy Families are All Heartless, Witnessed it Once Again Today!

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Daoyuan with a calm expression, "Have you decided, to kill or not to kill?"

Zhou Daoyuan forced a smile, "Friend Lin, Uncle Tian Lin has lost his son and is out of control. Please be understanding. Today it is also inconvenient to keep you any longer, please return home."

Lin Chen glanced at Zhou Tianlin, whose face was ashen and who remained silent. He calmly said, "I can understand the pain of losing a son, but that is limited to today. If, in the future, you wish to seek vengeance for your son and attack me again, that’s fine. We can just settle it then. After all, every debt has its debtor, and no one can escape."

Zhou Daoyuan wanted to say something but stopped himself. He wished to make a statement, but he couldn’t represent Zhou Tianlin, let alone the mother of Zhou Daocang – that woman was not simple.

This matter is likely not to end here. I must report this to the family head at the first opportunity and ask him to restrain that woman; otherwise, things might become unpredictable.

Lin Chen bowed to Zhou Daoyuan with a smile, "This matter has nothing to do with the eldest young master. Just do what you should, as for the rest, we’ll wait and see... Sorry to disturb you, I take my leave!"

Zhou Daoyuan watched as Lin Chen kept his composure and couldn’t help but admire him internally.

Not to mention anything else, the courage that Lin Chen possessed was something ordinary people couldn’t come close to. It was not everyone who had the audacity to come to the Zhou family to demand justice, let alone to come and commit murder.

Zhou Daoyuan returned the gesture, "Please."

Lin Chen glanced towards Zhen Liuxue, who with a casual wave sent three beads of light into the foreheads of the three people on the ground.

Zhao Pingyang’s eyes widened as his body fell to the ground like a wooden stake, instantly devoid of the breath of life. The other two collapsed on the ground too, gasping heavily, their cultivation ruined.

Lin Chen didn’t even glance at the two on the ground as he turned and walked away, with Zhen Liuxue gracefully following behind.

Zhou Daoyuan watched the backs of the man and woman who seemed like a divine couple, then shifted his gaze back to the two on the ground.

Out of the three, why did he choose to kill one and spare the other two?

Was it a warning?

He had already killed Zhou Daocang – did he really need to make an extra gesture?

Zhou Daoyuan couldn’t fathom Lin Chen’s intentions and eventually gave up trying to understand, turning his head to look at Zhou Tianlin, who had a cold expression.

"Uncle Tian Lin, we should still report this matter to the family head and let him decide."

Zhou Tianlin sneered, "Let him decide? Will he seek justice for my son?"

Lin Chen calmly said, "The Zhou family belongs to everyone, not to any one person. In the face of the Zhou family’s glory, everyone’s life is insignificant, including yours, mine, and the family head’s!"

"This whole affair started because of Daocang; now that he is dead, the matter should be settled. If you seek revenge for him and cause further disturbances, that’s not impossible, but that would be your personal action as a father, and you would bear all the consequences!"

Zhou Tianlin sneered, "All wealthy families are unfeeling; family interests come first. I’ve learned that again today. Fine, if I cause trouble, I’ll just pay with my life and not implicate anyone else!"

Zhou Daoyuan remained unangered, calmly speaking, "Uncle Tian Lin, there’s no need to tell me this. Go home and speak to the family head yourself."

Zhou Tianlin’s eyebrows raised slightly as he stared fiercely at Zhou Daoyuan, who met his gaze with a calm face.

"Humph!"

Zhou Tianlin turned, picked up the corpse of Zhou Daocang, and walked away.

Zhou Daoyuan sighed as he watched Zhou Tianlin’s retreating back, then turned his head to look at the two collapsed men on the ground, his eyes turning frosty as a cold blade.

He walked a few steps forward and squatted in front of the two, "Anything you want to say?"

Zhao Pingguang’s face was ashen; he had never imagined Lin Chen would be so ruthless, daring to attack the Zhou family, even killing Zhou Daocang in front of the Zhou family members!

If Lin Chen dared to kill a member of the Zhou family, what was the Zhao family in his eyes?

If he didn’t care about the Zhou family’s retribution, would the Zhao family dare to retaliate against him?

Did they want to bring destruction upon themselves?

Zhao Pingguang pleaded, "Our cultivation is ruined, and only our broken bodies remain. Please, Eldest Young Master, seeing as we too acted on behalf of the Zhou family and ended up in such a miserable state, spare our lives..."

Zhou Daoyuan corrected him calmly, "First, you were helping Zhou Daocang, and he does not represent the whole Zhou family. The Zhou family never ordered you to kill Lin Chen. Second, I never even considered killing you."

"I remember your Zhao family still has people at the War God Mansion. Tell me a name, and I’ll have someone send you there. But before that happens, you need to honestly confess everything you’ve done. I need to report it to the family head for him to decide."

Zhao Pingguang breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had lost his strength, at least he could stay alive. After all, who would want to die immediately?

Better to live poorly than die well!

"Yes, Eldest Young Master. I will confess everything truthfully and will not hide a thing."

Zhou Daoyuan nodded, "That’s good. Guards..."

The guards quickly came in, bowed, and awaited orders. Zhou Daoyuan instructed, "Take them away, treat their injuries, and also record a detailed account of this entire matter."

"Yes!"

After the two were taken away, Zhou Daoyuan sat back in his position, pondering the recent events, with a strange expression appearing on his face.

Lin Chen boldly came to the house and executed Zhou Daocang. Was his reliance on the favor of the Hall Master, those Fifty Great Demons, or the peerlessly beautiful woman by his side?

That woman, completely disregarding Zhou Tianlin’s intervention, instantly killed Zhou Daocang. What exactly was her strength?

What was her origin?

This Lin Chen, right upon his arrival at the War God Mansion, dared to confront disciples of the Zhou family and Chen Quan head-on. He really was a fierce dragon crossing the river!

It’s a pity that due to my status, I can’t genuinely befriend him.

I must hurry and report to the family to see how the family head decides.

As for Lin Chen, we’re all in the same area; there will always be an opportunity to interact again...
