Capítulo 31: Yang Group, Ling Jiu’s Mother
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ling Jiu was furious, extremely furious.
He knew that this world was chaotic with ravaging Direbeasts and rising special abilities. The unequal distribution of power and resources were making this world much more dangerous, more chaotic, and darker than the past life.
There were countless unfair incidents, and the laws could only control the ordinary people. Unfairness and injustice were happening every day.
However, when all these happened to him, Ling Jiu still could not help but feel angry.
"How are you?"
Baldheaded Mr. Zhang was not so friendly when he looked at Ling Jiu. His men, all burly, stopped what they were doing and stared at Ling Jiu.
"F*ck you!"
Ling Jiu roared, striking a punch formed by osmium at Mr. Zhang's chest. Amid the sound of crackling, Mr. Zhang spurted a mouthful of blood before his body crashed into the wall with a loud bang and dropped to the floor.
Mr. Zhang felt his bones had fallen apart. "What are you all waiting for, you trash! Kill him!" he shouted in agony.
Mr. Zhang, he-he is an Arcanist!"
Those burly men realized that Ling Jiu was an Arcanist when they saw a punch, sending Mr. Zhang flying away.
It was an Arcanist, not someone they could deal with.
"An Arcanist?"
Mr. Zhang's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Ling Jiu with a hint of fear in his eyes. "Who are you? What do you want? Don't do anything stupid!"
"What do I want? Take a wild guess!"
As Ling Jiu grabbed in the air, the osmium formed into a giant hand, lifting Mr. Zhang into the air.
Mr. Zhang tried to fight back, kicking his legs frantically, but that did not affect the osmium hand even a bit. He could only watch as he was brought in front of Ling Jiu.
"How dare you hit my dad, you abbreviated piece of nothing!"
Ling Jiu raised his hand and slapped Mr. Zhang in the face, causing the corner of his mouth to tear open. "Today, I am going to make you pay dearly for your stupid actions!"
"You-You are Ling Tianci's son?"
Mr. Zhang's body shuddered. He suddenly became more daring. "I see. It is you, rascal. How dare you show me your attitude. You must have a death wish!"
Knowing who Ling Jiu was, Mr. Zhang was not as scared as before. There was no need to be afraid of a newly awakened Arcanist. Not that he had not dealt with Arcanists before.
Besides, he knew well about Ling Jiu's background: toothless and penniless with no connection of influence. Ling Jiu had just got lucky to awaken his special ability.
So there was nothing to worry about a family like that.
"Death wish?"
Ling Jiu slapped him again.
Piak!
As the slap broke a few teeth of his, Mr. Zhang covered his swollen face with his hand. "How dare you hit me! I will make you pay!"
Piak!
"I pay you all for nothing, you all trash! He is just a rookie Arcanist, so why are you so scared of him? Kill him!"
Those burly men bit the bullet and lunged out at Ling Jiu. They would have flinched when facing other powerful Arcanists. But the Arcanist in front of them was just a rookie, and there was a strength in numbers.
However, as quick as they were, a dozen osmium fists formed and hit them with a series of thuds, sending the dozen burly men flying out backward.
"How could this be possible?"
Mr. Zhang was shocked. He could not believe that Ling Jiu had easily beaten his men, who were all professionally trained fighters. Was Ling Jiu really a rookie Arcanist?
Piak!
While Mr. Zhang was still in shock, Ling Jiu had come down with his slaps again. He was determined to avenge his father. After a continuous series of slapping, Mr. Zhang's face swelled so terribly that he looked like a pig head, half of his teeth falling off.
"Stop-Stop hitting me, please!"
Mr. Zhang was afraid now and quickly begged Ling Jiu. "It wasn't me but Mr. Yang who wanted to screw your dad. It has got nothing to do with me…"
"Mr. Yang?"
Ling Jiu stopped.
"Yes, Mr. Yang! It was Mr. Yang!"
Mr. Zhang pulled a pathetic face. "He asked me to abduct your father here so he could kill you. It's true. It has got nothing to do with!"
"Which Mr. Yang are you talking about?" Ling Jiu asked coldly.
Without waiting for Mr. Zhang's reply, Ling Tianci suddenly spoke. "I knew that it was him. I knew that. He must be the one behind the collapse of the company. I have been right all along!"
Ling Tianci looked a sight, his face swollen and covered in blood. But there was no anger or fear in his eyes, just anguish and at a loss.
"Who is that b*stard, Dad?" Ling Jiu frowned. "Did you just say that the collapse of the company has something to do with Mr. Yang?"
"Don't ask! It has got nothing to do with you!"
Ling Tianci let out a sigh.
"Dad!"
Ling Jiu was not too happy. "That b*stard has caused you so much suffering and hired someone to screw you. I couldn't stomach this without revenge!"
"Stop asking!"
Ling Tianci's tone of voice turned stern. "This is adult business. You don't interfere! Leave me for a while. I have something to talk to Mr. Zhang!"
Ling Jiu was indignant, but he did not want to defy his dad. He spun around and left the office. He would find it out since his dad was not telling him.
"Mr. Zhang, tell Mr. Yang that I will repay every cent I owe him. But please don't harass my son!"
Ling Tianci came up to Mr. Zhang. "Otherwise, he will regret it big time!"
"I will convey your message for sure! I will!"
...
Ling Jiu and Ling Tianci left Haitian Debt Collection Agency. The father and son spoke not a word until they arrived at their neighborhood. "Don't tell Xiao Tong about what has happened today!" Ling Tianci instructed.
"I know!"
Ling Jiu nodded lightly. "Mr. Yang whom Zhang Haitian talked about must be Mr. Yang of Yang Group, I guess?"
Ling Tianci was startled for a second, then shook his head. "Just don't ask! This is an adult's business. A kid shouldn't interfere!"
"Yang Group of Lantian Base City is a branch of Changan Base City's Yang Group, the president of which is Yang Su, isn't it?" Ling Jiu said as if he had not heard what his dad said.
Yang Su!
Ling Tianci was struck dumb.
"If I remember correctly, Dad, my mom is also called Yang Su. Am I right?"
"Don't tell me that mother of convenience, whom I have never met, is the president of Yang Group," Ling Jiu said half-jokingly.
"What the heck are you talking about?"
Ling Tianci suddenly went hysterical. "How many times have I told you that your mom has long been dead? She has nothing to do with that woman in Yang Group. Don't you insult your mom with that woman!"
Ling Jiu was startled. I was just saying. Is it necessary to get so worked up?
"Don't be a smart aleck and don't interfere in grown-up matters. Follow me home!"
