Chapter 218 - 218 185 The Songyang Family Zhang Yu's Threat Request for Monthly Tickets

218: Chapter 185: The Songyang Family, Zhang Yu’s Threat (Request for Monthly Tickets) 218: Chapter 185: The Songyang Family, Zhang Yu’s Threat (Request for Monthly Tickets) A few days ago.

Songyang High School.

Inside the school’s cultivation quiet room.

As the current student council president, the top student in senior year, and an outstanding descendant of the Zhou Family, after spending a lot of time, energy, and money, Zhou Chechen found that he couldn’t figure out who the mysterious investor behind Zhang Yu was.

Upon hearing this result from Zhou Chechen, hatred flashed in Lanling’s eyes and he immediately said, “If we can’t find out, forget it, let’s just get someone to cripple him!”

“Just get the fastest deliveryman in Songyang City, have him cripple Zhang Yu while delivering, and delay compensation for as long as possible.”

“Anyway, deliverymen killing people happens every year, it’s normal to hit a high school student too…”

Looking at Lanling’s impulsive demeanor, Zhou Chechen sighed and said, “Sigh, can’t you stop being so impulsive?”

“Wasn’t it just that he carved words on you, beat me up until I vomited, and let the whole school mock us secretly?”

Lanling looked at Zhou Chechen incredulously: “Isn’t that something?

This is a humiliating disgrace!

If I have to endure this, I should change my mental method and practice the Wild Bull Soul Suppressing Heart Technique’s mental method instead!”

Zhou Chechen said, “Sigh, it’s because you practiced that domineering mental method that your temper has become more impatient.”

“But one should master their mental method, not be mastered by it.”

“Sometimes, instead of doing things to make the mental method run smoothly, it’s better to figure things out yourself.”

Zhou Chechen pointed to his head and said, “As long as you figure it out yourself, you don’t have to spend a penny, isn’t that more cost-effective?”

“For example, at the moment, I was indeed very angry, but one can’t be angry forever, right?

Think about when you go to university, graduate, work…

who will still talk about these things?”

“Many things might feel very infuriating and important at the time…

but after a few years, looking back, it’s just some minor frost and dew.”

“We study hard, get into university, don’t our future prospects surpass those of these two paupers?”

“Every year in Songyang City, pauper geniuses make names, but how many eventually make waves?

This world, after all, belongs to the wealthy and powerful families…”

Lanling no longer wanted to listen and urgently said, “Just endure it like this?

President!

Your vomiting GIFs have spread to regular high schools!

Do you know what people call you and me outside now?

Songyang Vomit King and Songyang Vocational Student.”

“Endure this too?

You weren’t like this before?”

Zhou Chechen’s cheeks twitched, and he replied with a helpless smile, “Lanling, if it were a student from Grade 11 (Class 10) who offended you, I’d immediately go with you and pin the entire class to the ground.”

“But regarding Zhang Yu, for now, I can only advise you to endure it.

After all, the most important thing for people is to look forward…”

“Why?” Lanling looked deeply at Zhou Chechen, as if seeing a stranger: “President!

You aren’t someone who swallows your anger, still when facing two paupers, tell me why?”

Zhou Chechen said calmly, “You know Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen are two paupers, so do you think since Zhang Pianpian left, they could continue to grow to this point if there was no one supporting them?”

“There must be someone behind them.”

“But we can’t find out.”

“Not being able to find out is the most terrifying thing.”

“It means their power is far above ours.”

“That’s why I’m advising you now.”

“We’re already in senior year, just ten months away from the college entrance exam; it’s not worth spending money and effort on this.”

Zhou Chechen thought this way, and advised Lanling this way, which he also intended to do.

But that night, a family elder’s appearance completely disrupted his plans.

Accompanied by the fluctuation of Divine Power, a Divine Power projection appeared directly in front of Zhou Chechen.

Zhou Chechen was startled: “Is this a…

Projection Talisman?”

Accompanying the projection was a young man similar in appearance to Zhou Chechen, but with a colder expression.

The most eye-catching thing about the young man was the five large golden characters atop his head—Purple Gold Merit Master.

“Purple Gold Merit Master…”

Zhou Chechen deeply understood the weight of these five words, which meant he was a noble believer who spent over a billion annually to raise the belief level to a full three levels in True God beliefs.

And displaying the title of Purple Gold Merit Master in real-time, even forcing it to appear explicitly before others, that couldn’t be erased even by closing one’s eyes…

that is one of the privileges of a Purple Gold Merit Master.

Seeing the person before him, Zhou Chechen immediately stood up respectfully and said, “Uncle.”

Standing before him was a Zhou Family elder named Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang didn’t manage the Zhou Family’s corpse business, but joined Wanxing Group, becoming a company executive.

Songyang High School is directly affiliated with Wanxing Education Group.

This is a common scenario among the wealthy families of Songyang City, where family members occupy various company positions, and interests are intricately intertwined, forming key nodes in company operations in the region.

Standing before Zhou Yang, Zhou Chechen felt that his so-called status as a high school top student and student council president was utterly insignificant.

After all, there are only a few top executives of the Wanxing Group in Songyang City, but new top students appear at Songyang High School every year.

Zhou Yang looked at him, and with a flick of his fingertips, a talisman naturally formed, transforming into a sound barrier that enveloped the surroundings.

Zhou Chechen watched this scene, secretly sighing.

Reaching the Purple Gold Merit Master level of faith, even after projection, all kinds of talismans come naturally.

To many people, this kind of technique… already resembles god-like abilities.

Only to hear Zhou Yang say flatly, “There are some matters the family needs you to handle.”

Hearing this, Zhou Chechen felt a slight chill, with a foreboding already forming in his heart.

Zhou Yang paid no mind to Zhou Chechen’s emotions, and continued to speak blandly, “Suppress Zhang Yu a bit.

You already have grievances and interests tangled with him, so use your own name, not the family’s name.”

“Zhang Yu?” Zhou Chechen was slightly stunned, not expecting it to be about this matter.

Then Zhou Yang continued, “You need to watch the specifics of the timing.”

“The goal is not to crush him to death, but to force him to a dead end within the rules, forcing him to seek help from others…”

Listening to what was being said, Zhou Chechen was moved, asking, “Forcing Zhang Yu to seek help from others?

Is this the family wanting to deal with the people behind Zhang Yu?”

Zhou Yang didn’t answer directly, only saying, “Just follow our instructions to pin Zhang Yu down, you don’t need to worry about the rest.”

Zhou Chechen sighed inwardly, feeling only that the situation was incredibly complex beneath the surface.

In that moment, he felt like both he and Zhang Yu were merely pieces on a chessboard, with the people behind Zhang Yu and the Zhou family behind him being the real players.

Though the Zhou family ranks low among the sixteen families of Songyang, Zhou Chechen, who was within it, knew it to be a terrifying colossus.

And now this colossus was to deal with the people behind Zhang Yu, showing that the forces behind Zhang Yu were not to be underestimated either.

Yet in the clash of these two giants, both he and Zhang Yu were caught in the storm, with even a slight misstep leading to a disastrous end.

Zhou Chechen sighed at heart, but he knew that having received the family’s nurturing until now, he was long past the point of being able to defy any of the family’s orders, so he simply said, “I understand.”

The projection of Zhou Yang slowly faded, leaving only his voice to continue echoing in Zhou Chechen’s ears.

“Don’t worry, whether it’s people or money, the family will support you on this side.”

“Just go for it, Zhou Chechen.”

…

Meanwhile.

In an apartment on the 333rd floor of the Central Building.

Zhou Yang lay on a hospital bed, his entire lower body already gone, with only the upper half connected to various tubes, quietly overlooking the city’s night view outside the window.

He secretly thought to himself, “A new Evil God event has occurred, and the Patrol Team has finally reached into other areas.”

Since the Evil God inadvertently exposed itself at Songyang High School earlier, the important figures at Songyang High School, Wanxing Group, and even the Zhou family almost all came under the scrutiny of the Patrol Team, forcing them into patient dormancy, not daring to use even a shred of the Evil God’s power.

Yes… the Evil God, this had been the reason for the Zhou family’s initial rise.

It’s also how, after generations of effort, they were able to monopolize most of Songyang City’s corpse business, gradually infiltrate companies, and become one of the supports among the sixteen families.

Yet the Zhou family had always been very cautious about using the Evil God’s power, only hoping to leverage it to make the Zhou family stronger.

So the Zhou family ancestors set certain rules.

For instance, no Zhou family member who performs the Evil God ceremony is allowed to go to the second floor, to prevent the ceremony’s power from being discovered there and to avoid extending the Evil God’s reach to the second floor.

Therefore, the Zhou family’s selected candidates for university had never performed the ceremony and were never aware of the Evil God’s existence.

Gazing at the thriving city center under the night sky, Zhou Yang’s mind was filled with turbulent images, symbols of the pressures the Zhou family now face under the tide of the era.

Scenes from Songyang City’s past flashed through his mind, the rise and fall of one noble family after another, all symbolic of the changing times.

Wealth continuously accumulates, the families’ tendrils continuing to extend into various industries.

But along with the tide of the times, and the development of Immortal Path technology, the number of top families in Songyang has been gradually decreasing.

Those fallen families turned into nutrients, making the surviving families stronger, gathering an astonishing amount of energy in Songyang City.

Yet which family doesn’t wish to eternally and permanently stand tall above Songyang City, overseeing the thousands of people below contributing their value, generation after generation, to work for their family?

Zhou Yang said in his heart, “For the Zhou family to continue standing atop Songyang, not to be eliminated in the tide of this era, the most important thing now… is to harness stronger Evil God power.”

“Zhang Yu… who would have thought a spare organ would become an Evil God believer.”

“Unfortunately, Zhou Tianyi, that fool, failed in his actions back then, otherwise, we wouldn’t need to wait until now…”

Regarding Zhang Yu as an individual, Zhou Yang naturally didn’t concern himself.

With just a thought, he had too many ways to destroy the other.

He was more concerned about the Evil God behind Zhang Yu.

He didn’t intend to push Zhang Yu to death, but to continuously oppress him in the name of Zhou Chechen, forcing him under future surveillance to actively contact the Evil God, to seek its help, and then locate the Evil God.
