It can be said that, regarding the events of the past involving the Su Family's senior house, within the clan, it was an absolute taboo!
For so many years, not a person dared utter a single word about it!
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, Su Chun's face imdiately changed, showing extre embarrassnt!
Including those who accompanied him, like Su Yuan, Su Tai, and Su Bo, it was the sa for them!
"Believe it or not, I still have to say this, Su Chen, I know you have misunderstandings about , but I truly had no connection with what happened back then."
After all, there were many relatives from collateral branches present, and even if everybody was well aware of the truth, even if it ant forcibly arguing, Su Chun still had to clear his na!
Otherwise, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting it?
Su Chen imdiately burst out in mocking laughter, clearly furious. He was sowhat impressed by how shaless the old man was to be able to say those words, and even without a change in his expression or heartbeat?
"All right, since you're not here because of the old issues, then state your intentions!"
Listening to Su Chen's sarcastic laughter, Su Chun found it incredibly harsh to his ears. He didn't want to linger on this embarrassing topic, so after clearing his na, he imdiately shifted the conversation.
Su Chen watched him with a playful smile. How could these little tricks possibly escape his eyes?
But he truly did not want to get entangled with him over this issue today, so he didn't expose him.
"My purpose here today is very simple, just one thing, and that is to collect a debt!"
Upon Su Chen's words, the people of the Su Family were all stunned. Collect a debt? What debt?
"Su Chen, clarify your words for !"
Su Chun barked sharply, his face as dark as if water was about to drip from it!
"Your Su Family's second Young Master owes a sum of money that has yet to be paid back, and of course, I'm here to collect that debt!"
Su Chen casually remarked, the corner of his mouth curving into a smile!
As his words fell, the Su Family's crowd imdiately erupted into an uproar!
They had never expected that this was Su Chen's purpose in coming today!
But how could the second Young Master owe him money?
"Nonsense, how could our family's second Young Master owe you money?"
The man whom Su Chen had previously choked by the throat finally caught a chance and imdiately spat out disdainfully:
"I think you're trying to swindle us!"
He had been afraid of Su Chen before, but now that the patriarch had arrived, what did he have to fear?
"Have you forgotten what I told you earlier?"
Su Chen spoke indifferently.
"Go ahead, I'd like to see how you can crush my throat now!"
The man said smugly, lifting his head proudly.
"Alright! As you wish, then!"
Su Chen smiled faintly, and in an instant, his figure moved, leaving only a streak of afterimage behind.
The man who had just spoken found his throat in Su Chen's grasp once again, and he imdiately felt difficulty in breathing, his face full of shock!
He hadn't expected that even with the patriarch present, this guy would actually dare to make a move!
Of course, he had also heard about the incident at the financial summit, but there had long been a subconscious belief that with the patriarch present, everything would be alright!
But when Su Chen's large hands really clamped around his throat again, he truly felt fear!
"Stop!"
Seeing this scene, Su Chun was startled and quickly tried to intervene.
But it was already too late; a crisp "snap" echoed, and the relative from the Su Family's collateral branch had his head hanging to one side!
Su Chen indifferently tossed the corpse aside and then dusted off his hands.
The entire Su Family was dumbfounded. Was it really over just like that?
Did it feel like they were watching a play?
After all, that was soone from the Su Family, although only a mber of a collateral branch, he was still part of the Su Family!
And Su Chen, although he also belonged to the Su Family, in reality, as he himself had said, he had no relationship with the Su Family anymore.
The martial artists standing behind Su Chun were also shaken by this scene—not by Su Chen's bizarre move just now!
To be honest, even though his move seed very peculiar to the ordinary eye, they didn't think much of it, as they could do it too.
They believed that if they hadn't been too far away, they definitely could have saved that mber of the collateral branch.
What truly shocked and even astonished them was Su Chen's deanor while killing—that indifferent ease, as if he was casually snapping a twig off a roadside tree!
How many people had he killed to beco so indifferent and dismissive of life?
"Su Chen, don't you think you're going too far?"
Su Chun's eyes practically spouted fire as he glared at Su Chen. This youngster was far too arrogant, killing a mber of the Su Family right in front of him!
"It was his own death wish, you all heard it. It's not my fault!"
Su Chen shrugged his shoulders, tauntingly.
"Good, good, good!"
Su Chun repeated the word 'good' three tis, then coldly said,
"Since you act so decisively, so ruthlessly, don't bla for not considering the affection for my older brother!"
"Clap clap clap!"
No sooner had Su Chun finished speaking than a round of applause broke out!
Su Chen applauded and laughed,
"Su Chun, how can you say the words 'older brother' without any sha? I fear that in terms of shalessness, no one in the world can match you!"
"You brat, you're courting death!"
Upon hearing Su Chen's sarcastic remark, Su Chun's face flushed and paled in quick succession, looking extrely ugly!
Just like soone who had suddenly been stripped of their clothes, he was enraged!
"Go, seize him for !"
Su Chun barked an order to the martial artists behind him, anwhile making a secret sign to the leader among them.
Although deep inside he wished nothing more than for this young man to disappear from the world imdiately, he absolutely could not order his killing outright!
Because he knew that what happened today in the Su Family courtyard would soon spread far and wide, given the number of people present!
If the outside world were to learn that he had ordered the killing himself, they would definitely think he was inhumane, showing no rcy even to his older brother's only bloodline!
Even further, they would surely surmise that he was involved in the issues with the Su Family's main house years ago, after all, he was the direct beneficiary!
Moreover, they would interpret his command as an act of silencing by murder!
Such damage to his reputation was sothing he could not afford!
Of course, he was not willing to lose such an excellent chance to get rid of his adversary!
Yes, in the instant just passed, an idea flashed through his mind, thinking:
Isn't this a heaven-sent opportunity to get rid of this thorn in my side?
While he couldn't order a direct execution, if the martial artists fought and accidently killed him, he could explain it away, after all, fights were unpredictable!
Even if they didn't kill him, just crippling him would eliminate the threat forever!
With this thought, his previous anger and fury dissipated, replaced by a wave of elation!
