At this time, Skywater City, Mary Hospital. It is one the best hospitals in Skywater City and is well-equipped and well-staffed. However, its only drawback is its high prices. Poor people donât come here.
In a private room of the hospital, the sound of a vase breaking rose and mixed with an angry scream.
âXia Ping!â
The person lying on the bed here is Zhou Taiâan. From the distorted expression on his face and tightly clenched fists, in can be surmised that he is really angry.
Normally, it would have taken him one month to recover. But thanks to Mary Hospitalâs excellent equipment, he nearly recovered after one weak of treatment and spending millions of credits.
But just as he was in a good mood, he saw news about Xia Ping on the Internet. He could no longer suppress the anger that accumulated in the course of a week.
âI could only lie in the bed and receive treatment for an entire week like a mummy. But you, Xia Ping, had a very comfortable time and even thrived.
Zhou Taiâan has a gloomy expression on his face: âYou challenged martial halls, advanced to the 7th layer, and even gobbled up the prettiest girl of the 88th High school and an Internet idol.â
âIf things go on like this, wonât that bastard be able to walk all over me? Will I be able to get my revenge?!â
He is extremely unreconciled and envious. At the time, in order to advance to a 6th layer Martial Apprentice, he had to invest who knows how much effort and resources.
But this guy, who seems to have no bottlenecks in his cultivation, has broken through repeatedly, and now more so has promoted to the 7th layer Martial Apprentice realm. Now, not only his fighting strength, but also his cultivation base is higher than Zhou Taiâanâs.
He canât accept this!
âSon!â
Suddenly, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in a black suit walked in. The middle-aged man has an overbearing air about him. There are four or five bodyguards in black following behind him.
He is Zhou Taiâanâs father, Zhou Ding, and the owner of the Zhou Clan restaurant. He has a net worth of hundreds of millions of credits and over a thousand employees. Reportedly, he has connections with underworld organizations.
Even his cultivation base is impressive. He reached the 9th layer Martial Apprentice realm.
When he saw the broken vase on the ground, Zhou Ding frowned and stared at his son: âDid you lose your temper just now? Didnât the doctor tell you to be careful not to get angry, or else it would adversely affect your recovery.â
âYes, dad, I lost my temper. But I canât accept it.â
Zhou Taiâan gritted his teeth: âXia Ping is a nobody with a mediocre background, a pauper. Previously, he was just a 3rd layer Martial Apprentice realm waste.â
âI, Zhou Taiâan, work hard every day, never slack off, and even have a lot of resources. In what aspect am I lacking?â
âBut I lost.â
âIn the arena, he beat me black and blue and made me into the schoolâs laughing stock! You think I can accept it?!â
He clenched his fist and trembled.
Looking at his son, Zhou Ding couldnât help sighing. Since he was little, his son has always been aloof and had a big ego. He never suffered any setbacks.
But all of a sudden, he suffered such a huge setback, denting his ego. It is not surprising that he canât accept it.
âShut up!â
Zhou Ding yelled angrily: âYou are my, Zhou Dingâs, son. Whatâs with this pathetic display? Heâs just the son of a civil servant. If you donât want to see him again, then Iâll make him disappear.â
His tone was filled with matchless dignity.
âDad!â
Zhou Taiâan was stunned and looked at his father.
âLet me tell you one thing. Martial cultivation base isnât everything, but power is.â
Zhou Ding stood with his hands behind his back: âXia Ping is a genius, so what? If I spend some money and have someone break his legs and waste his cultivation base, will he still be able to mature?â
âA genius who hasnât matured isnât worth a damn.â
âOnce he loses his cultivation base, Xia Ping is just an ant that you can stomp out with your foot. By then, will he be able to compare to you?â
His tone was ruthless.
Zhou Taiâan knows that his father isnât joking, that he is capable of this much. Although his family is only operating a restaurant, but they also secretly engage in smuggling and are involved with underworld organizations.
Once he uses his fatherâs power, crushing a 7th layer Martial Apprentice will be an easy feat.
âMy, Zhou Dingâs, son isnât someone whom just anyone can harm.â
Zhou Ding said with a sneer, âTo raise a bastard like Xia Ping who doesnât know his place, his parents canât be forgiven, as well. For this crime, they must be severely punished.â
âI will also send people to break their legs, so that they can only beg on their knees for the rest of their life.â
His tone was that of indifference, as if he was speaking of something simple, as if he wasnât dealing with people, but stomping on two ants on the ground.
âBut with the current medical technology, even if their legs are broken, they can recover if they have money.â Zhou Taiâanâs eyes showed a cruel shade. He wants to send Xia Pingâs family to hell.
Zhou Ding waved his hand: âI already investigated them. Theyâre just a middle class household. The house they live in is worth 1 million credits at most and it was bought with a 30-year loan. Furthermore, they have less than 100,000 credits in their bank account.â
âIf all the legs of a family of three are broken, the treatment will cost at least 1,5 million credits.â
âThat is to say, if they want to heal their legs, they will have to sell their house and borrow money, ruining their family.â
âBut if they do that, so what? When they recover, Iâll send people over to break their legs again.â
âAt that time, weâll see if they still can come up with the money.â
âIf they canât, theyâll have to kneel all their life.â
When Zhou Taiâan heard this, he couldnât help but feel a chill run down his spine. With his fatherâs method, Xia Pingâs family will surely be doomed to ruin.
Even though Xia Ping is a genius, but without his legs intact, he is merely trash, thatâs all. By then, he wonât be able to compare to me.
Upon thinking of this, Zhou Taiâan couldnât help but feel relaxed. Who told you to be so full of yourself and to humiliate me in the arena. This time I have to ruin you.
Even your family wonât be spared.
âChen Dong.â
Zhou Ding looked at a man in black behind him and instructed, âIâll leave this to you. Remember to do a good job. Donât make any mistakes, understood?â
âYes, boss. We are familiar with this kind of thing.â
The man in black smiled ferociously and showed his white teeth, as if a shark. For characters of the underworld like them, doing this kind of thing is normal.
âMhm.â
Zhou Ding nodded. For a person with authority, a sentence is enough to deal with a small fry.
