Martial Master

"Alright, you’re ruthless!"

Zhou Zhenglong stumbled to his feet, his gaze filled with resentment as he tried to leave.

"Take him into custody," Qin Chen said.

Immediately, two disciples from the Xu family stepped forward and restrained Zhou Zhenglong.

"What do you want? You clearly said you would let me go!" Zhou Zhenglong was filled with anger and fear, assuming that Qin Chen was going back on his word, and he shouted at him furiously.

"Don’t worry, I promised to let you go, and I will keep my word. I, Qin Chen, am not so dishonorable. However, for now, you’ll have to endure a little inconvenience," Qin Chen replied.

"You—"

Zhou Zhenglong was trembling with rage. If he had known it would come to this, he would rather die than agree to Qin Chen. But now, even though he felt hopeless, the instinct for survival still made him unwilling to give up.

Humans are like this; when they have the ability, they are willing to gamble everything, yet after they hit rock bottom, they lack the courage to die.

"Young Hero Qin, how should we deal with this person now?" Xu Xiong asked respectfully. At this moment, they had already regarded Qin Chen as their backbone.

"First, take him away," Qin Chen instructed.

Soon, Zhou Zhenglong was taken away, and the corpses of the Zhou family head and many elders were also cleaned up.

"Young Hero, thank you very much. If it weren’t for you, my Xu family would probably be facing a life-and-death disaster. Such great kindness, my Xu family is endlessly grateful," Xu Xiong said as he bowed deeply to Qin Chen.

Not only had Qin Chen saved his daughter, but he had also helped the Xu family eliminate the threat from the Zhou family. Although the Zhou family's foundation still existed, without these experts, they were like a tiger that had lost its fangs—no longer fearful.

Qin Chen waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It’s nothing. Just a small effort on my part."

Xu Yan and the others were taken aback, almost falling to the ground.

"Just a small effort?"

Qin Chen had helped them fend off the Zhou family's strong enemies and had killed the Zhou family head and many elders, resolving the entire Xu family's life-and-death crisis. How could he say it was just a small effort? Was he even allowing them to live?

To Qin Chen, it was a small effort, but to the Xu family, it was a matter of their entire clan’s survival.

At this moment, the Xu family mansion had been thoroughly cleaned up. Xu Xiong led Xu Yan and the others to a small reception room inside the mansion.

As noon approached, Xu Xiong instructed people to prepare a lavish lunch, specially to entertain Qin Chen.

During the lunch, Xu Yan frequently toasted Qin Chen, her cheeks flushed and her gaze occasionally falling on him, revealing a hint of youthful shyness.

Everyone loves a hero, and Qin Chen’s strength made someone like Xu Yan unable to resist her heart racing.

Not far away, Zhang Mingzheng was watching this scene, his expression dim.

"Mingzheng, don’t worry. Young Hero Qin is not from the same world as us. The young lady and he won’t have any results," Zhang Han, being experienced, comforted his son, and then warned, "I also caution you not to harbor any thoughts against Young Hero Qin."

Zhang Mingzheng bitterly nodded. He was currently a peak Human Level late-stage martial artist; within a year or two, it was not impossible for him to break into Earth Level, making him somewhat of a genius in Martial City.

But compared to Qin Chen, he truly fell far behind.

"Father, rest assured. Young Hero Qin is our savior. I’m grateful and have no other thoughts. I just hope to become stronger, strong enough to protect this family, so that my pursuit of Miss Xu Yan will also have some foundation," Zhang Mingzheng said firmly.

"If you can think like this, that’s best," Zhang Han nodded.

"Young Hero Qin, I toast you!" Xu Xiong raised his glass to Qin Chen.

He could see his daughter Xu Yan's feelings for Qin Chen and was aware of Zhang Mingzheng's admiration for his daughter. However, these were matters for the young; he wouldn’t interfere too much.
