CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 58: VISITORS FROM THE DU FAMILY

"Wang Xu!"

Jin Tun and Ghost calculate both exclaimed at the figure who pushed the door open and entered.

"Brother Jin, Brother Ghost," Wang Xu displayed a smile.

"Who are you, kid? Are you also a spokesperson for the Golden Shield Company?" Du Ze sneered.

Du Ze didn’t recognize Wang Xu. Although he was the heir to the family, he never cared about family matters, spending his days in revelry and ignoring everything else entirely.

Wang Xu glanced at Du Ze and also took note of the two Tier Seven Master-level experts beside him. It confirmed in his heart that the luxurious man before him was the eldest young master of the Du family, Du Ze.

"Brother Jin, Brother Ghost, I have something to discuss with this Young Master Du. Could you step out for a moment?" Wang Xu said.

Jin Tun and Ghost exchanged a glance, not sure what Wang Xu intended, and left the room, shaking their heads.

Du Ze watched Wang Xu with interest, curious to see what Wang Xu had to say to him.

"Do you know Li Lian?" Wang Xu asked Du Ze word by word.

"I’m not interested in trash," Du Ze smirked dismissively, "You’re here to protect Li Lian, right? You seem young and have some skills."

Du Ze could tell that Wang Xu’s realm level was the same as his two bodyguards, both Tier Seven.

But he wasn’t afraid at all. He had two Tier Seven protectors, backed by the mighty Du family. His identity alone as the eldest master of the Du family could terrify people, so why would he fear a Tier Seven Master-level expert?

"Since you know him, come with me," Wang Xu smiled slightly and took a step forward.

The two Tier Seven immediately stood up and stood in front of Du Ze, their Tier Seven aura exploding with a boom.

"You think you can rely on a mere Tier Seven expert to mess with me?" Du Ze snickered.

Wang Xu continued moving forward, reaching out a big hand to grab Du Ze.

The two Tier Seven shouted, and their fists simultaneously attacked Wang Xu, one high, one low, sealing off all escape routes for Wang Xu.

"You’re still a long way off!" Wang Xu twisted his body, his steps seemingly chaotic, yet he narrowly evaded both of their attacks, stepping right in front of Du Ze.

The two Tier Seven were left stunned.

What just happened?

One hand clutched Du Ze’s throat, and Wang Xu lifted Du Ze off the ground.

"You..." Du Ze was terrified. Wang Xu’s movements were as fast as lightning, and he couldn’t even react. His life was now held in someone else’s hands. This feeling made Du Ze extremely uncomfortable, "You better let me go, or I will make you regret it!"

Wang Xu’s fingers tightened, and Du Ze struggled to breathe, his face turning red.

With Wang Xu’s power, just a small amount of force from his fingers would twist Du Ze’s neck and kill him completely.

"Damn it!"

"Let go of Young Master Du!"

The two Tier Seven were both shocked and furious. Although they were of the same tier, they couldn’t even touch Wang Xu’s clothes, and their master was instead captured by him. They quickly shouted.

"You can keep threatening me, test my patience. Once my patience runs out, your life will vanish along with it," Wang Xu said calmly to Du Ze, ignoring the two lackeys at his side.

Feeling Wang Xu’s cold and merciless gaze, along with the tremendous force in his hands, Du Ze could feel death drawing near.

Du Ze’s hand secretly reached into his pocket, crushing a small signal emitter.

"Heh heh... You’re dead. Dare to lay a hand on me, and I’ll make your life a living hell!" Du Ze laughed cruelly.

"Is that so? Then let me give you a taste first," Wang Xu smiled and used his other hand to grab one of Du Ze’s legs and squeezed hard!

Krrraaa.

The clear sound of breaking was accompanied by a piercing scream that echoed throughout the room.

......

The Du family, one of the major families in the Second Safe Zone, is highly reputable and extremely powerful. The patriarch is a top-tier expert in the late stage of Tier Eight.

The Genius Battle Group and the Safe Zone differ. The Genius Battle Group is full of geniuses and strong warriors, whereas the Safe Zone has very few strong individuals. A Tier Six can make a name, a Tier Seven can carve out a world of their own, and a Tier Eight is admired by everyone and a major figure.

Only a very few enormous families possess experts at the Peak of Tier Nine standing behind them.

In a luxurious room, the patriarch of the Du family was negotiating important matters with several guests.

"White Sword, it’s not that I’m unwilling. The prices at the Extreme Ancient Hall are reasonable, and we’ve cooperated for many years, but you understand the rules of the commercial world—profit comes first, and the military’s price is twenty percent higher than yours. There’s nothing I can do about that."

The speaker was an elder with white hair in a black robe, a shallow scar at the corner of his eye—Du Kui, the current patriarch of the Du family.

Opposite Du Kui sat the president of the Genetics Academy, White Sword.

Sitting next to White Sword, Three-Eyed and Silver Armor sighed, feeling this trip was in vain.

"Du Kui, our Extreme Ancient Hall needs that Deep Blue Ore Vein. We can match the military’s price and pay twenty percent more, will you agree?" White Sword persisted.

Du Kui shook his head, "I truly apologize."

The old man with the White Sword sighed softly. The conditions he could offer had reached their limit, but Du Kui still refused to hand over the Deep Blue Ore Vein to the Extreme Ancient Hall, leaving him powerless.

"Beep!" Suddenly, Du Kui’s light computer beeped, emitting a red glow, and Du Kui’s face changed dramatically as he abruptly stood up.

"What happened?" White Sword asked.

"Something has happened to my grandson. He would only crush the signaler in a desperate situation. Something must have happened!" Du Kui waved his hand, immediately instructing people to prepare the floating vehicle and track Du Ze’s location, and hurriedly rushed over.

The deal didn’t go through, but the friendship remained. Naturally, White Sword and the others wouldn’t stand by idly and followed Du Kui to go together.

............

"Boom!"

"Thud!"

Two walls were shattered by the massive force of fists, and the two Tier Seven bodyguards of Du Ze had gloomy faces filled with anger.

Wang Xu still held Du Ze in his hand. To rescue Du Ze, the two Tier Seven bodyguards attacked Wang Xu relentlessly, using every trick in the book, even bringing out hot weapons, but no matter how they attacked, they couldn’t touch Wang Xu even a tiny bit.

On the other hand, Du Ze was flung around in Wang Xu’s hands, losing all composure, filling his heart with resentment, but he endured it with gritted teeth, waiting, just waiting for grandfather to arrive, and it would be Wang Xu’s time to die!

"Ze’Er!" At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open, and a group of people rushed in tumultuously.

Wang Xu grinned, finally, they arrived.

"Who are you? Let Ze’Er go quickly, or else I won’t be polite to you!" Du Kui directly blamed Wang Xu without asking the reason upon arrival.

"Wang Xu?"

"How is it you?"

The newly arrived White Sword, Three-Eyed, and others were taken aback when they saw Wang Xu.

"Director!" Wang Xu initially wanted the Patriarch of the Du Family to come, but he didn’t expect White Sword to arrive with the Patriarch.

"Patriarch! Please save the young master!"

"This guy’s body technique is too bizarre, Patriarch, quickly take action to teach him a lesson!"

The two Tier Seven bodyguards immediately shifted all the blame onto Wang Xu, fearing that Du Kui would blame them for inadequate protection.

Du Kui looked displeased. It was simply outrageous for the noble Du Family to be threatened by a mere Tier Seven brat.

"Grandfather, save me!" Du Ze shouted.

"Kid, leave a way out when doing things, don’t cut all paths. The consequences of offending the Du Family are something you cannot bear." Du Kui said grimly.

Wang Xu sneered, "You old bastard, threatening from the get-go without understanding the situation. I intended to reason with you, but now I have no mood for that anymore."

Crack!

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xu crushed Du Ze’s other foot.

"Brat, you’re courting death!" Du Kui roared with rage. Crushing his grandson’s foot right in front of him was an enormous humiliation. Du Kui stomped his foot and unleashed his Tier Eight late-stage strength to attack Wang Xu.

Wang Xu stepped forward, his figure like a phantom, and passed by Du Kui.

Du Kui’s attack missed, and he bent his knees, using the ground’s rebound force to attack Wang Xu again.

No matter from which direction Du Kui attacked, or how fierce his moves were, or how terrifying the force was, he still couldn’t catch Wang Xu’s figure, let alone hit him.

White Sword, Three-Eyed, and others watched in shock. They realized that Wang Xu’s realm level had already reached the same level as theirs, Tier Seven, but they didn’t expect Wang Xu to handle the top-notch Tier Eight late-stage expert Du Kui so easily, making him look foolish.

Du Kui became more frantic as he attacked, his aura growing stronger, yet he still couldn’t catch Wang Xu.

"Damn it!" Du Kui was furious, wishing to chop Wang Xu into pieces.

A moment later, Du Kui withdrew his hand, panting heavily. He had been in a state of rage, and all his attacks missed, consuming a huge amount of energy. Du Kui also realized that the Tier Seven youngster in front of him was no ordinary person.

"You old bastard, you’re done now. It should be my turn, right?" Wang Xu let out a cold snort and then took a step forward, delivering a flying kick towards Du Kui!

A gleam flashed in Du Kui’s eyes, this was his chance!

Immediately, his fists swelled like balloons, emitting a dim red glow, like a hot iron just burned in the fire.

"Violent Dragon Fist!" Du Kui roared angrily, colliding head-on with Wang Xu.

As a Tier Eight late-stage expert, Du Kui’s basic fist power was close to twenty thousand. The top-grade Ancient Martial Arts brought double exertion force, making it forty thousand kilograms of force, enough to topple a skyscraper.

But at the moment of contact with Wang Xu’s foot, Du Kui’s face changed.

"What terrifying force!" Du Kui could clearly feel the immense power coming from Wang Xu’s foot. This force far exceeded his, not even on the same level!

Bam!

Du Kui was sent flying backward, the glow on his S-Level armor disappeared entirely, rendering it completely useless.

Du Kui barely managed to support his body, his eyes filled with intense shock.
