The Elder of the Hu Family shivered, by Su Yang’s reckoning, how many people would have to die?
Zhao Ping’an was also stunned as he looked at Su Yang. He had never even dared to think about demanding the Hu Family’s Spoiled Brat’s life. And yet, as soon as Su Yang spoke up, wasn’t that a bit too dominant?
Su Yang patted Zhao Ping’an on the shoulder; the reason he had Zhao Ping’an deal with this matter was to temper his resolve.
Zhao Ping’an was different from Su Yang, after all, Su Yang had been on the battlefield and had seen far too much life and death there. Therefore, Su Yang acted with decisive killing intent. He showed no rcy to his enemies and would definitely not leave any troubles unaddressed!
As for Zhao Ping’an, by day, he was still the part-ti sweeper at the Dewei Martial Arts Hall. He had never killed anyone in his life, not even seeing blood in a fight.
Such a person, even if he suddenly gained great strength and beca a local Sovereign, often tended to be softhearted and unable to achieve great things.
Therefore, Su Yang needed to temper his resolve so that he could stand tall on his own!
Otherwise, he would remain softhearted, and even with great strength, he would never make a significant impact.
Su Yang patted Zhao Ping’an on the shoulder and whispered, "What do you think?"
Zhao Ping’an was sowhat panicked and whispered back, "A life for a life... killing just... just one should be enough..."
The Elder of the Hu Family’s face was full of hope. Killing just this one Spoiled Brat was sothing the Hu Family could completely bear.
"Is that so?" Su Yang whispered, "Do you think the people who are partial to him shouldn’t die?"
"This... this..." Zhao Ping’an scratched his head, "But after all, my father was only knocked to death by him..."
"Is that so?" Su Yang said with a faint smile, then suddenly reached out and grabbed soone from the Hu Family’s side. Instantly, that person was yanked over by Su Yang and heavily slamd onto the ground.
The man was a ss from the fall, and the crowd from the Hu Family side was shocked. The Elder hesitated for a mont but ultimately didn’t dare to speak.
"Your father was knocked to death, and the subsequent matters, he handled them all by himself," Su Yang pointed at the man he had thrown and said coldly, "You think this man shouldn’t die, right?"
Zhao Ping’an’s face was full of anger, but in the end, he nodded.
"Then let tell you, he has handled similar issues for seventeen people from the Hu Family. Twenty-six people were wronged and killed by mbers of the Hu Family. In the end, he personally saw to it that the mbers of the Hu Family got off scot-free, not a single one punished. When the families of those twenty-six tried to seek trouble with the Hu Family, he sent people to attack them. From elders in their eighties to children of seven or eight, all were brutally beaten, their heads broken and bleeding, and in the end, none could claim justice for their family mbers!"
As Su Yang said this, he paused, then looking at Zhao Ping’an, he spoke softly, "Now, do you think he deserves to die?"
Forget about Zhao Ping’an; the people present had already started to roar in anger, clamoring to kill this man.
The Elder of the Hu Family shook with fear. He finally understood why Su Yang had dragged this man out. He was glad he hadn’t spoken up earlier.
Rage filled Zhao Ping’an’s eyes as he gritted his teeth and nodded: "He deserves to die!"
Su Yang nodded, and with another wave of his hand, another person flew out from the Hu Family’s side.
"This person, in partnership with the one just now, has committed sins no less heinous than the other. The most detestable act is that once, when a Hu Family’s Spoiled Brat humiliated a girl, he was made to handle the matter. Yet, in dealing with it, he humiliated the girl again, and in the end, to silence her, he killed her and used his connections to completely cover up the matter. The girl was only sixteen years old when she died. Tell , does this person deserve to die or not?"
Anger surged in Zhao Ping’an’s eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "He deserves to die!"
Su Yang did not pause as he continued to grab several people in succession, throwing them in front of Zhao Ping’an and detailing their cris one by one. All these people had been involved in the affair concerning Zhao Ping’an’s father, and each of them were imnsely sinful, all deserving death.
By the ti the last person was reached, Zhao Ping’an’s aura had escalated to its peak, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
The mbers of the Hu Family were all pale, truly frightened that Zhao Ping’an would suddenly lose control and lash out, killing the mbers of their family in a frenzy.
Su Yang walked up to Zhao Ping’an, patted his shoulder, and the rage in Zhao’s eyes instantly dissipated by a large margin, and he regained his senses.
"Rember this, Zhao Ping’an," Su Yang said coldly. "I had you kill all those involved in your father’s case not for you to commit indiscriminate murder. Rather, it’s because these people genuinely deserve to die."
"Your reluctance to kill them doesn’t reflect your kindness or righteousness, on the contrary, you’re no different from them. Rember, if they can handle such a matter involving human lives without conscience, then these people can no longer be considered human."
"Such matters only happen once or countless tis. After committing the first act without any punishnt, they will continue to do it, endlessly. If you don’t kill them, more innocent people will die because of them. Therefore, if you don’t kill them, you’re an accomplice to their deeds!"
Having said that, Su Yang patted Zhao Ping’an on the shoulder again and returned to the edge of the stage, speaking softly, "The rest is up to you. I won’t say any more."
Zhao Ping’an’s eyes were crystal clear, Su Yang’s words had dispelled all the anger in his heart, and he had regained complete calm.
He exhaled softly and turned to look at the Elder of the Hu Family: "Now, in front of everyone, investigate this matter thoroughly. I don’t care if they are from your Hu Family or not. Bring them all here, and don’t let a single one involved get away. Do you understand what I an?"
The Elder of the Hu Family’s face was ashen, and he said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhao..."
Zhao Ping’an cut him off: "If you can’t do it, I’ll kill you and find a second person to do it!"
The elder shuddered in fear. Zhao Ping’an’s uncertainty had turned into such decisive ruthlessness in a mont, leaving the elder with no more illusions about Zhao.
"Hurry, go and investigate this matter imdiately!" the elder shouted. "Anyone involved in this matter, whether they carry the Hu surna or not, bring them all to , not a single one spared!"
The higher-ups of the Hu Family quickly ca and took these people away, starting to interrogate them under harsh torture.
"I’ll give you one hour," Zhao Ping’an said coldly. "If anyone fails to be brought here... for every person missing, I’ll take the life of one of your Hu Family’s higher-ups in compensation. You better make sure of it!"
These higher-ups of the Hu Family trembled in fear, and with such an order, none dared delay any longer, each running faster than the last.
Seated at the back, Su Yang’s face bore a slight smile. He was very pleased with Zhao Ping’an’s progress.
