Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme-Chapter 1440 - 1385: Anger
"If you like it, just buy it." Liu Yiyi said, taking out a Space Ring, throwing it to the stall owner, "There are two hundred thousand top-grade spiritual stones inside, count them."
"Hehe, it's enough, it's enough." The stall owner said with a smile, then handed Zhuo Lingxuan to Lin Mo.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Liu, I will repay you this money." Lin Mo nodded, took Zhuo Lingxuan, and then took out the Xuanyuan Sword and inserted it into Zhuo Lingxuan, carrying it on his back. Just as the two completed the purchase and were about to leave, suddenly a group of people approached them, accompanied by a voice with a sarcastic tone, "Unexpectedly, the fiance of the noble Miss Liu from the Liu Family is just a pretty boy who can't even come up with two hundred thousand spirit stones?"
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi stopped in their tracks and turned their heads.
They saw two men and a woman coming toward them, all dressed in luxurious clothes, exuding an aura of nobility, with arrogant expressions unlike ordinary people. Clearly, these three were not of common status.
"People from the Zhou Family." Liu Yiyi frowned slightly when she saw the three people, seemingly not pleased with them. The Zhou Family is also a merchant family, and in terms of wealth and power, they are not inferior to the Liu Family. There is frequent competition in business, and they have been in a state of conflict for years, although this conflict has eased somewhat in recent years, due to the 'retreat' of the Zhou Family.
This easing was because the genius young man Zhou Can from the Zhou Family once proposed to Liu Lifu, naturally with Liu Yiyi as the bride, but was rejected by Liu Lifu, who used Liu Yiyi's wishes as an excuse.
This is why Liu Yiyi did not directly refuse when Liu Lifu proposed to make Lin Mo her 'fiance'; she wanted to use this method to make Zhou Can give up.
"Yiyi, so he's your fiance, a newly entered disciple of the Seven Sects." The young man with sword-like eyebrows among the three, staring sharply at Lin Mo, with undisguised hostility in his eyes.
"Zhou Can, my affairs are none of your concern." Liu Yiyi bit her red lip, her voice exceedingly cold. Zhou Can said, "Yiyi, you should be able to see my heart for you. For your sake, how much profit has our Zhou Family lost? As long as we are together, the Zhou and Liu families join hands, apart from that Mu Family, who on Qionglong Star is our rival?
"
"I make my own decisions about my affairs. As for family matters, they should be handled according to the rules." As for Zhou Can's words, Liu Yiyi sneered at them. If there was really a marriage alliance with the Zhou Family, it would probably benefit the Zhou Family the most. Besides, she wasn't attracted to Zhou Can at all. Who knows how many girls he has played with, yet he pretends to be affectionate in front of her, which makes her feel nothing but disgust.
Their conversation caused quite a stir around them. Zhou Can was already a famous genius in the Zhou Family, who wouldn't know him in Thunder City? Gradually, more and more people gathered around, watching as if enjoying a show.
"Is that Miss Liu, Liu Yiyi from the Liu Family?"
"I heard that Miss Liu is stunningly beautiful and has the charm of Lin Yue, but unfortunately, she's wearing a veil, and we can't see her beauty!"
"That man next to Miss Liu, isn't he the rumored fiance from the Liu Family? Wonder what's his background..."
"I heard he's a genius from the Seven Sects. This time he returned with Miss Liu, likely for the Ancient Land contention."
Indeed, many recognized Liu Yiyi nearby, whispering to each other. However, the unknown background of Liu Yiyi's fiance made many people green with envy and jealousy.
The Liu Family is large and prosperous, and Liu Yiyi is the core disciple of the family. Becoming a son-in-law of the Liu Family brings numerous benefits in the future. "Fine, since that's the case, when the Ancient Land contention starts, I won't show mercy, and as for your fiance, I'd love to exchange a few moves with him to see what extraordinary talents he has to win your heart." Zhou Can licked his lips, his gaze increasingly fierce, with primordial energy waves emanating from his body.
It seemed Zhou Can wanted to get physical with Lin Mo, and the surrounding crowd was more than happy to watch the drama unfold, cheering enthusiastically.
"You, you're not worthy opponents for me." Lin Mo glanced at him, his expression indifferent.
With that sentence, not only did Zhou Can's face turn as red as pig's liver, but the surrounding people also gasped.
Zhou Can, a core genius of the Zhou Family, famous throughout Thunder City, and this guy dared to say Zhou Can wasn't worthy of being his opponent. Isn't he afraid the wind would twist his tongue?
"Brother Can, this guy is too arrogant, you must teach him a lesson today." The young man accompanying Zhou Can cursed viciously.
"Beat him up... This guy, oblivious to the immensity of heaven and earth." Another young woman also frowned tightly, her eyes glaring wide.
Zhou Can had never encountered such humiliation before, his face alternating between green and red, gritting his teeth, "Fine, today I'll beat you to death, and see what you're capable of."
"Stop!"
Just as Zhou Can clenched his fists and was about to act, the crowd parted, and a young man in green clothes walked calmly towards them, "So many people fighting here, disgracing my Zhou Family." This young man bore some resemblance to Zhou Can, with sword-like brows and bright eyes, a nose like a hanging gall, lips like vermilion cinnabar, handsome and dashing, his gaze sweeping over Zhou Can and his companions, and the three slightly bowed their heads, showing this person held high prestige in their hearts.
"Miss Liu, my brother is being inappropriate, I'll discipline them when we get home." The young man approached Liu Yiyi and said with a slight smile.
"Young Master Yan." When Liu Yiyi saw the newcomer, her expression changed subtly, greeting politely.
The four young masters of Thunder City were comprised of Liu Qing, Hong Ling, Zhou Yan, and Zhou Can, and Zhou Yan was the strongest among the four. Three years ago, he had already advanced to Galaxy Level High, his current cultivation unfathomable.
After Zhou Yan finished, his attention turned to Lin Mo, "This must be Mr. Lin? The Liu Family's son-in-law. Earlier, you said my brother wasn't worthy to be your opponent. Do you think I am worthy?"
"You, your strength isn't bad, but unfortunately, you're not my match. Fighting me would be self-humiliation." Lin Mo shook his head, his tone indifferent.
With that statement, even the warm, spring-like face of Zhou Yan twitched slightly, while Zhou Can and his companions glared, eyes about to spit fire.
The onlookers nearby gasped.
Zhou Can was Galaxy Level Middle, yet Zhou Yan was High-level Galaxy Level, having been at the High-level Galaxy Level for many years and only a step away from breaking through to Star Lake Level, yet he was lightly dismissed by someone!
"Haha, good, very good." Zhou Yan was momentarily stunned, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Mr. Lin, I'll remember your words in my heart. I hope during the Ancient Land contention, I can see what abilities Mr. Lin truly possesses."
"Brother Yan, I really want to crush him." Zhou Can's eyes bulged out, seething with anger. "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, for now, let's go back." Zhou Yan said calmly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Mo, glinting with fierceness, then he led the Zhou Family members out of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
