144: bully others by taking advantage of one's power

"You, do you have the guts to say that again?"

Wu Su was seething with rage.

In this world, the most hurtful things are always the truth.

It was precisely because everything Liu Yiyi said was true that Wu Su couldn't maintain his composure.

That's right, his achievements today were entirely due to the Wu Family.

If the Wu Family hadn't provided him with a large amount of resources from a young age, he wouldn't have been able to step into the Houtian Realm, let alone reach the Houtian Lesser Stage.

To be honest, with that many resources, if they were given to any Martial Artist with even a little talent, their achievements would have far surpassed the Houtian Lesser Stage.

Furthermore, Wu Su was already twenty-five years old.

At this age, backed by the Wu Family, it was possible to enter the Xiantian Realm.

Yet, Wu Su had only reached his current level.

Not to mention, from childhood to adulthood, Wu Su had relied on his status to commit countless evil deeds.

Especially once, when Wu Su accompanied a Wu Family elder to the Liu Family as a guest and took a liking to one of Liu Yiyi's maids.

Using his status, he threatened the maid's family, and after he had his way with her, to prevent the Liu Family from finding out, he threw her into a river and killed her, not even sparing the maid's family in the end.

If Liu Yiyi hadn't been as close as sisters with that maid and insisted on finding out the truth, the maid would have died in obscurity.

And when the matter was exposed, the Wu Family remained unmoved; in their eyes, it was just a maid, and it was her honor to be favored by Wu Su; as for her death, it was no big deal, do the lives of commoners even count as lives?

In the end, the Wu Family merely compensated with a martial dao crystal, and the matter was closed.

The life of a young woman in her prime, and the lives of a family of five, were ultimately only worth one martial dao crystal.

It was because of this that Liu Yiyi fled, unwilling to complete the marriage contract with Wu Su.

The reason she was able to escape was also because her parents tacitly approved, not wanting their daughter to marry a scoundrel.

"If it weren't for this marriage contract being set by the elders of both families, making it difficult to cancel, I would have already gone to the Wu Family to break off the engagement!"

Liu Yiyi muttered to herself in a low voice.

The Wu Family was, after all, a Secluded Faction, and their strength was not inferior to the Liu Family's. Coupled with the fact that the marriage contract was a pre-arranged engagement from Liu Yiyi's grandfather's generation, making it difficult to cancel, she would definitely have gone to break off the engagement.

But this matter had too great an impact, so in her helplessness, Liu Yiyi could only escape with her parents turning a blind eye.

It was precisely because of this that she was actively searching for martial token fragments and cold-door Geniuses.

The former, if fully collected and completely comprehended, would allow Liu Yiyi to change her destiny.

The latter, if a cold-door Genius with the required talent was found and nurtured to grow, could add another source of strength to the Liu Family, thereby checking the Wu Family.

Of course, achieving either of these two conditions, whether the former or the latter, was extremely difficult.

How difficult it was to find nine martial token fragments; just searching for them would require a great deal of time and effort, let alone fully comprehending them.

Furthermore, completely comprehending the Legacy of the martial token fragments was rumored to bring unexpected gains, but Liu Yiyi couldn't be sure if it could truly change her destiny.

As for the latter, the requirements were equally not simple.

An ordinary Genius would not be able to meet Liu Yiyi's requirements.

This was about contending with a Secluded Faction.

Which meant that the potential of this Genius must at least reach the Embryonic Stage or the Fetus Transformation Realm.

Only by reaching this level could a Secluded Faction not dare to underestimate them and possess a certain degree of influence.

And even then, it would only be a certain degree of influence.

Unless the potential was truly so great that the Liu Family would be willing to completely break ties with the Wu Family and annul the marriage contract for this cold-door Genius.

Thinking of this, Liu Yiyi felt a headache coming on.

"I'm telling you, you're just a hothouse flower, a useless good-for-nothing."

"The Wu Family is a Secluded Faction with countless resources, and as a key candidate cultivated by the Wu Family, you received a large allocation of resources, yet you're only at the Houtian Lesser Stage. Don't you find that ridiculous?"

"With your talent, besides running rampant under the protection of the Wu Family, you'll never amount to anything in this life!"

Liu Yiyi once again angrily retorted to Wu Su.

She had intended to use this method to make Wu Su so ashamed that he would slink away.

But she had forgotten that with Wu Su's personality, how could he endure such humiliation?

The more she did this, the more he wanted to prove himself.

"Good, good, good!"

Wu Su laughed in extreme anger, saying, "That's right, I was just born well, what can you do about it?"

"Because I am the heir of the Wu Family, even if you are unwilling, you will ultimately have to marry me!"

"Similarly, because I am the heir of the Wu Family, with just one word from me, I can make sure these friends of yours die without a burial place."

"However, I can give them a chance. Don't you think I'm a good-for-nothing? Then I will use absolute strength to show you just how vast the gap between them and me truly is!"

As he spoke, Wu Su released his Qi.

He had actually broken through to the Late Acquired Realm!

In terms of aura, in terms of pressure, he could even rival the Initial Stage of Innate Realm!

He was, after all, the heir of a Secluded Faction; even if his talent was lacking, he couldn't resist being showered with resources. Wu Su had been showered with resources for over twenty years and had still reached the Late Acquired Realm.

"You! You're shameless!"

Liu Yiyi was so angry she couldn't speak.

"That's right, I am shameless, but even if I am this shameless, don't you still have to marry me?"

Wu Su's smile grew even more triumphant.

Then, his gaze fell upon Boss Wang.

"I forbid you from entertaining them, do you hear me?"

Hiss!

Boss Wang gasped when he heard that.

If it were before, he wouldn't have bothered to look at Wu Su twice, only thinking he was an idiot.

But now, the other party had revealed his identity.

The heir of the Secluded Faction, the Wu Family.

This immediately changed Boss Wang's attitude: "You are right, what are they anyway, do they even deserve for me to entertain them? Your words are like an imperial decree to me."

Merchants pursue profit.

Don't be fooled by how warmly Boss Wang had chatted with Chen Fang earlier, like old friends for many years; ultimately, he was only interested in Chen Fang's status.

Now, facing Wu Su, whose status far surpassed Chen Fang's, Boss Wang immediately abandoned Chen Fang.

He knew perfectly well what was more important.

Who was Chen Fang?

Sorry, I don't really know him.

"Hahahaha! Did you see that? This is the power of the Wu Family! With just one word from me, who dares to entertain you? In fact, whoever I want to die, will die!"

Wu Su's laughter grew even more arrogant. This feeling of deciding others' lives and deaths with a casual word made him feel incredibly exhilarated.
