After the Warrior Tournament ended, Lin Chen and the others didn’t stay; they directly flashed back to Jinghai City.

No matter how luxurious the hotel, it’s not as comfortable as home!

Since they already got the prize, staying longer didn’t make sense.

"Brother, you are too awesome; being first, doesn’t that mean besides being the Honorary Planet Chief, you are now also the top person on Planet 49?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You could say so, but actually, compared to others, there isn’t a big advantage; I haven’t reached the level of overwhelming suppression, still need to train!"

Chu Jiaxue curiously asked, "Can you still improve?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, previously limited time for training, couldn’t help it, had to temporarily stop. I feel like I can still improve."

Gu Yuexi excitedly said, "In a one-on-one fight, no one can beat you now. If you can continue to improve, won’t you be able to suppress other Seventh Level Peaks effectively in the future?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It depends on how much more I can improve. Before seeing the bottleneck limit, nothing is for sure."

Nalan Wushuang said with a smile, "This time, you’ve obtained so many valuable potions again, try to break through to Level 8 in one go."

Shang Wenyao laughed and said, "If you can break through to Level 8, then we can walk across Planet 49 without fear of anyone trying to harm us."

Gu Yuexi said angrily, "Then let’s eliminate the Chen Family first!"

Everyone laughed.

To truly destroy the Chen Family, there’s no need to wait for Lin Chen to reach Level 8?

With their current strength, they are already enough to handle the Chen Family.

Although Chen Zhenyuan is quite powerful, Lin Chen’s strength now surpasses Chen Zhenyuan’s.

"There’s no rush to deal with the Chen Family, focus on improving strength first. Even if we can’t break through to Level 8 in one go, we should at least improve as much as we can."

However, what surprised Lin Chen and the others was that half a day after they returned home, Chen Xingdong appeared at the villa entrance again.

Lin Chen looked at Chen Xingdong at the door in surprise.

"What are you doing here?"

Chen Xingdong looked at Lin Chen in front of him, feeling complicated. The last time he came here, he was prepared to cripple Lin Chen and the others, but only a few months later, he came here to seek reconciliation.

The Chen Family wasn’t happy, but they all understood that time wasn’t on their side. The longer it dragged on, the more formidable Lin Chen and the others would become.

If they seek peace now, there might still be a chance, but if they wait until others become Level 8 Warriors, they might not agree to reconcile.

Chen Xingdong said neatly, "On behalf of the Chen Family, we apologize to you."

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback and then sneered, "Now you think of apologizing, isn’t it a bit late?"

Chen Xingdong said calmly, "It is a bit late, but we are very sincere."

Lin Chen looked at Chen Xingdong for a few seconds, then moved aside the door.

"Come in and talk."

Chen Xingdong felt relieved. Since the other party let him in, it meant there was room for negotiation.

If the other party was determined not to talk, they wouldn’t have bothered to let him into the house.

Before coming, Chen Xingdong was mentally prepared for everything.

He knew today’s negotiation was very important, relating to the Chen Family’s future, a matter of life and death.

No matter the cost, he had to resolve the grievances with Lin Chen and the others.

In the living room, Lin Chen sat on the sofa and smiled, "Tell me, what’s your sincerity?"

Chen Xingdong answered without hesitation, "As long as Mr. Lin is willing to write off our grievances, we will provide whatever Mr. Lin needs."

Lin Chen looked at Chen Xingdong in surprise. Was he really so determined?

This wasn’t a negotiation but a full-blown surrender.

Whatever you want, we’ll give!

Chen Xingdong’s decisive stance left Lin Chen a bit puzzled.

It’s like two people in a fight, both ready to go all out, and suddenly one lies down on the ground, letting you do whatever without resistance.

"Hit me, go ahead, just spare my life."

The Chen Family’s thorough surrender made it seem unnecessary for Lin Chen to bloody battle with them.

Although the Chen Family had targeted the group before, they hadn’t suffered any loss.

The Chen Family had many experts. If peace wasn’t achieved, who knows if they’d act like desperate dogs, which Lin Chen and the others didn’t fear, but if someone close to them got involved, that wouldn’t be good.

Since they surrendered, letting them off the hook wasn’t out of the question, but they must pay a hefty price!

You can’t cause trouble without facing any consequences, right?

Lin Chen thought about it; they weren’t short on money now but lacked advanced cultivation resources.

These aren’t items money can buy, but as local powers, the Chen Family might have the means to acquire them.

Lin Chen thought it through and provided a list.

All of them are high-grade potions hard to find on the market, with a total value reaching astronomical figures.

Chen Xingdong looked at the list and removed two potions from it because they couldn’t acquire them. Other than that, he agreed to everything.

Though such a massive loss could cripple the Chen Family, even delaying their own Warriors’ progress, at least the Chen Family still stood.

Having Lin Chen and his group keeping an eye on them was a massive problem for the Chen Family.

Chen Xingdong didn’t bargain but quickly agreed to Lin Chen’s terms, leaving Lin Chen, who initially wanted to make things difficult, at a loss.

They surrendered so quickly, there’s no fight left!

Seeing Lin Chen’s slightly vexed look, Chen Xingdong felt a massive relief in his heart.

He realized Lin Chen truly wanted to settle scores with the Chen Family. If he hadn’t surrendered swiftly and steadily, the Chen Family would have faced a disaster.

Lin Chen won first place in the tournament, and Yao Xuanji won third. They acquired many high-grade potions, and once those were consumed, their strength could undergo significant growth, possibly reaching Level 8 in one go.

If Lin Chen genuinely reached Level 8, the Chen Family would undoubtedly be the first to suffer.

After Chen Xingdong left, Chu Jiaxue and the others all came out of the house.

Gu Yuexi pouted, "We originally wanted to settle scores with the Chen Family, but they just surrendered."

Chu Jiaxue smiled, "That’s sacrificing a part to save the whole, a decisive move, which is good. After all, they’re also a local power in Jinghai City with many experts. If we really fought, we might not come out unscathed."

Lin Chen nodded, agreeing with Chu Jiaxue’s point of view, "That’s what I think too. Since they’re yielding and willing to compensate with so many high-grade potions, we might as well accept it. With these potions, don’t we now have resources for cultivation?"
