Chapter 46 - 46 46 The Qin Family Father and Son Qin Heng

46: Chapter 46 [The Qin Family, Father and Son Qin Heng] 46: Chapter 46 [The Qin Family, Father and Son Qin Heng] “Big Brother, I know my skills are weak, and I might hold you back. I can’t provoke either the Luo family or the Qin family and can’t help you with anything…” Hu Long felt ashamed; he realized his skills were not strong enough to be of any help to his Big Brother Ye Tianchen. The influence of those elite families was evident—they had already sent Wuxue, the number one assassin of the Capital City, and he feared even stronger and more formidable people would appear in the future. With his current abilities, Hu Long felt somewhat useless. Ye Tianchen glanced at Hu Long and admired his manliness. Even with his parents gone, as an elder brother, he would vow to protect his sister to the death. Such a bold spirit truly moved people. However, Hu Long lacked a certain domineering presence, a certain ruthlessness. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Otherwise, with his skills, those men sent by Li Tie that day couldn’t have been his match, and he wouldn’t have been injured. “Xiao Long, since I’ve agreed to let you follow me, I consider you my brother. There are things I don’t want to hide from you. This time, I’ve offended two major families in the Capital City, the Qin family and the Luo family, especially the Qin family, which is showing signs of becoming a first-rate family—not the kind that ordinary people can provoke. As for the Luo family, they too are very aggressive, so these two families will absolutely not let me off. I don’t know what dangers lie ahead, nor can I predict them, but blood and violence are inevitable. We are brothers, and naturally, I don’t want you to take risks. It’s not that I look down on you and think you’re a burden!” Ye Tianchen said seriously to Hu Long. “Big Brother, I’m not afraid of death. I’m willing to follow you. As long as I can help you with anything, even if I have to die, Hu Long won’t frown!” Hu Long said resolutely. Hu Long was a hot-blooded man who knew to return a favor. From the moment Ye Tianchen saved him and his sister, he swore in his heart to repay Ye Tianchen, and he was also shocked by Ye Tianchen’s formidable skills. Even Wuxue, the number one assassin in the Capital City, was defeated by Ye Tianchen. How could Hu Long not be excited? Following such a Big Brother would definitely promise a future. What Hu Long didn’t know was, during the battle with Wuxue, Ye Tianchen’s superpower had broken through to the King-level, leaping across a realm. His strength was now incomparable to before. Otherwise, defeating Wuxue would have been quite difficult. “I know you’re not afraid of death, but Big Brother doesn’t want you to throw your life away for nothing. When I have time, I’ll teach you a few moves. Once your skills are strong enough, I’ll let you help me with some tasks. And you still have to look after your sister. With more concerns in life, you have to be more cautious, especially when facing strong opponents. It’s not always just about fighting through; that won’t solve all problems,” Ye Tianchen said. This speech seemed as if it was for Hu Long to hear, but also like Ye Tianchen reminding himself. Facing the threats of the Luo and Qin families, if he went on a rampage and killed everyone from these families, it would probably shake the entire China, and the Ye family would have a hard time too. After all, both the Luo and Qin families had connections at the high level, and although Ye Tianchen was strong now, he was not the strongest. Reborn into this life, he still didn’t know what kind of powerful figures existed among the Ancient Martial Sects and Superpower Users. If he really went on a rampage against the Luo and Qin families, what would he do if even more formidable people appeared? He might be able to protect himself and even kill all his opponents, but overt threats are easier to dodge than hidden ones. His parents and sister might not be so lucky. Ye Tianchen was tough and decisive, guided only by reason, not relationships, but that didn’t mean he was reckless. At all times, a brainless fighter could only be called a brute; those with strong skills and a thoughtful mind are the real powerhouses. “Big Brother, I understand. I won’t let you down!” Hu Long nodded and said. “Good, you will leave the Capital City tomorrow. Don’t come back until you get a call from me because in this period, I might have some real confrontations with the Luo and Qin families. Once things are more or less settled, I will let you know when to return to the Capital City,” Ye Tianchen said with a smile to Hu Long. “Understood, Big Brother!” Ye Tianchen and Hu Long, sitting by a roadside food stall, ate barbecue and drank beer, discussing things about the Capital City. Hu Long especially sought advice from Ye Tianchen on how to enhance his skills. Ye Tianchen was not stingy with his knowledge. Although he was a Superpower User and focused more on increasing his Superpower to wield powerful superpower moves, the improvement of any kind of energy was ultimately for strengthening oneself, whether Superpower User or an expert from an Ancient Martial Sect, all would temper their physical bodies. Fundamentally speaking, Superpower Users harness natural energy for tempering, while Ancient Martial Sect experts cultivate their Inner Strength Skill for the same goal. They both had a similarity in their mystery, so Ye Tianchen taught Hu Long some simple methods to strengthen his body further. At this time, in a very special villa area in the Capital City, located in a central mansion within the area, lights blazed brightly; it was the old residence of the Qin family. The villa area was said to be very special because the people living there were either officials and nobles of the Capital City or major powers and elite families of China. Only they could afford such a level of luxury; even the Luo family couldn’t match it, and the declining Ye family was even more out of the question. Inside the old residence of the Qin family, in a villa located to the southeast, a middle-aged man with a somewhat sullen look on his face was frowning, seemingly deep in thought, while a younger man in designer clothes sat below. They were father and son; the middle-aged man was named Qin Taoyuan, and his young son was named Qin Heng. They had just received the news that their underling, Li Tie, had been killed. “Henger, what exactly happened with this? How could that waste Li Tie suddenly get killed?” Qin Taoyuan glanced at his son Qin Heng as he asked. “Dad, about this matter, I, I’m not quite sure, I also, also heard it from the reports of people below…” With each word Qin Heng spoke, his nose twitched, as if he had just smoked marijuana. Slap! Qin Taoyuan slammed his hand on the table and cursed fiercely, “You bloody fool, all you ever do is mess with drugs and play with female celebrities! Can’t you be more ambitious and think about your future for once?” Seeing his father’s anger, which seemed all too familiar, Qin Heng took a seat on the sofa, crossed his legs in an arrogant pose, and pulled out a cigar that had already been laced with something to get high. He struggled to control his addiction and felt the urge to take a drag. Seeing his son like this, Qin Taoyuan was infuriated. He strode over, slapped the cigar out of Qin Heng’s hand, and stomped on it as he continued to scold, “Can you wake up? What time do you think it is? Do you want to ruin your whole life with that stuff?” “Dad, why lose your temper like this? You’re in charge of the Qin family now, and as your only son, you’ll definitely hand it over to me eventually. With the power of our Qin family, who dares to provoke us? We’re set for life, so why bother worrying? It’s better to just have fun, screw around with women, how cool is that!” Qin Heng pulled out another cigar from his pocket. Before Qin Taoyuan could stop him, he lit it and started smoking. “Do you realize that next month you’re supposed to get engaged to Qi Ruxue of the Qi family? If they see you like this, the engagement will probably be off!” Qin Taoyuan shouted in anger. “The Qi family? Dad, the Qi family’s power doesn’t compare to ours. If it weren’t for hearing that Qi Ruxue’s beauty rivals that of Capital City’s number one beauty, Liu Rumei, I might not have even considered an engagement with the Qi family. But it’s fine, I’ll see how sweet Qi Ruxue tastes. If possible, it would be even better to get Liu Rumei in my hands!” Qin Heng became more lecherous and outrageous as he spoke. Whenever the topic turned to women, his eyes lit up with lust. In Capital City, the Qin’s influence was not the greatest, but it was significant. The lecherous Qin Heng had raped and brutalized countless women, and once, his beastly actions caused the death of an eighteen-year-old girl, sparking intense public outrage. The state finally jailed Qin Heng, sentencing him to five years. When he was released from prison, rather than reforming, Qin Heng’s behavior worsened. Any woman he set his sights on, he would do whatever it took to possess—whether through threats, bribery, or drugging and kidnapping; he was determined to satisfy his desires with no hint of humanity. A slap landed on Qin Heng’s face, startling him out of his indulgence in the laced cigar, and before he could react, Qin Taoyuan unleashed a furious tirade on him. “Have you gone mad? Do you want to doom the Qin family? Do you know what the Liu family signifies? Mr. Liu is a vice-national-level leader, and I’m warning you now, don’t even think about Liu Rumei, or no one will be able to save you!” Qin Taoyuan severely berated him. Hearing his father Qin Taoyuan’s words, Qin Heng sulked. Truth be told, he did want a taste of Liu Rumei, the most beautiful woman in Capital City—what man wouldn’t? If it weren’t for the fear of the Liu family’s overwhelming power, the incredibly audacious Qin Heng might have attempted to lay hands on her. “I wouldn’t dare mess with Liu Rumei, but damn it, she was peeked on by that loser and prodigal son of the Ye family! I really want to strangle Ye Tianchen to death with my own hands. And I don’t understand why we have to get engaged to the Qi family when their influence is weaker than ours,” Qin Heng complained resentfully. “You’re ignorant and don’t learn anything, what do you know? The Qi family’s influence might be weaker than ours, but with this round of elections, their patriarch has connections at the top that could likely help our Qin family. Do you get it?” Qin Taoyuan yelled, frustrated with his son Qin Heng. [PS: Special thanks to book friends “﹏Cy丶萢萢” and “1343048148” for their rewards.
