Chapter 920 - 923: Strategist
In the room, Wu Tian stared blankly at the small fellow who was so justified.
Wu Tian wanted to reason with the little one, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
A grown-up doesn’t hold grudges against a child.
Wu Tian left the room.
In the room, the little fellow chuckled: "Dad, not much of a deal."
Wu Tian went to the Su Family’s back garden, which was naturally connected to the mountains behind, given the Su Family’s location backed by the range of Hundred Thousand Mountains.
It’s dangerous, rarely visited by people, but because of this, the spiritual energy is abundant, and the air is fresh.
Calling some people from the Su Mansion to secretly come here.
"Why be up so early?"
Su Tiankuang hadn’t slept all night, feeling impatient, thus he didn’t calmly ask Daji about last night.
In his view, when his daughter took action, what man could resist?
He came to Wu Tian’s side, chuckling.
"Is there something?" Wu Tian spoke indifferently; although he was living under someone else’s roof, he carried the demeanor of royalty, speaking to Su Tiankuang from a superior position.
This made Su Tiankuang frown tightly, wondering what kind of joke was this. You were with my daughter, meaning you’re my son-in-law now—do you talk to your father-in-law like this?
"How was last night?"
Su Tiankuang pretended not to know, indirectly reminding Wu Tian that after sleeping with his daughter, he should know the attitude he ought to have now.
"Not bad." Wu Tian smiled subtly; although he didn’t do anything with Qin Yuhan, it was rare for the family to be together.
"Good to hear, good to hear." Su Tiankuang smiled thoughtfully and said, "Now you must have some words to say to me?"
Did you sleep with my daughter?
Shouldn’t you apologize? Give me something?
Or shouldn’t you take responsibility? Present me with a good dowry?
"Do I have something to say to you?" Wu Tian felt annoyed.
What do I have to say to you?
"Master Su, you probably haven’t woken up." After speaking, Wu Tian left, feeling that this Su Tiankuang was somewhat peculiar, possibly mentally ill.
Mental illnesses can be contagious at times. Of course, Wu Tian wanted to steer clear.
"You... you... you’re such a person?" Watching Wu Tian’s departing figure, Su Tiankuang thought of a possibility and suddenly shouted.
You slept with my daughter,
don’t apologize?
Don’t take responsibility?
Act as if nothing happened?
Where in the world do you find such convenient things?
He was furious beyond measure.
Returning to his study, he angrily smashed books, his face extremely unpleasant.
He already knew the kind of person this was,
Wu Tian, who once disrupted the birthday banquet of Yang Tian’s wife and even lectured there—such a person was hard for Su Tiankuang to believe.
What interested him even more was Wu Tian’s supreme treasures; how many did Wu Tian have?
Su Tiankuang looked at the letters obtained through investigation, finding it even more astounding.
He guessed Wu Tian had no fewer than a hundred supreme treasures.
What an unbelievable quantity this was!
His Su Family, on the outskirts of the continent as the fourth power, also had one supreme treasure and a few partially damaged ones.
These were acquired over generations of the Su Family.
But Wu Tian?
So young, with so many supreme treasures?
Where did they all come from?
"Family Head, still guessing Wu Tian’s background?" Just as Su Tiankuang sat cold-faced on a stool, pondering the origin of Wu Tian’s treasures, a middle-aged man suddenly entered the study. Exuding elegant charisma, with lively eyes.
If Wu Tian were here, he would exclaim that this person was pretending, styled entirely in a manner reminiscent of Zhuge Liang.
"Yes, what indeed is Wu Tian’s background? Is he a descendant of the old acquaintance or successor of the Wutian Celestial Emperor? We must find out, but how can we know?" Su Tiankuang asked the strategist.
This strategist was known as Cold Strategist.
Where did he come from?
Su Tiankuang didn’t know, but he knew that with Cold Strategist around, many things in the Su Family no longer needed his worry, as several plans from Cold Strategist would resolve them.
As Su Tiankuang faced this problem now, he naturally consulted Cold Strategist.
"Wu Tian? The information I obtained says he first appeared in Xiuyuan Country within the Three Realms. This person knows no bounds in killing; he even dared to kill the Divine Emperor’s representative Law Enforcers in the Mortal Realm. With such a person, if he doesn’t wish to reveal something, no matter how you force him, it’s useless..." After pondering for a moment,
Cold Strategist finally thought of a plan, smiling gently and suggesting: "Yesterday, three people arrived as well, siblings, apparently familiar with Wu Tian. Otherwise, why would Wu Tian give them supreme treasures? Capture the youngest sister, threaten her two brothers to reveal Wu Tian’s background and heritage..."
"Good, good, this should be done." Su Tiankuang’s eyes lit up, but he had a better idea: "Would the two brothers divulge Wu Tian’s secret to save their sister? If I were them, I wouldn’t. I would sacrifice my sister to induce guilt in Wu Tian, thereby obtaining more supreme treasures."
Cold Strategist: "..."
"But..." Cold Strategist wished to say, Family Head of Su, not everyone is like you, sacrificing relatives for gain.
"No need to speak." Su Tiankuang, thrilled at this moment, had already come up with an idea, saying: "Your method is good, but it can be even nicer."
"Oh?"
Cold Strategist slightly furrowed his brow.
"Why not kidnap Wu Tian’s daughter?" Su Tiankuang thought that Wu Tian seemed to have a daughter, who could be used to threaten Wu Tian; in Su Tiankuang’s view, if he had a weakness, it would surely be his daughter.
He thought using Wu Tian’s daughter to threaten him,
would be correct.
"Cold Strategist, among my Su Family people, my daughter is familiar, except for you; you operate secretly on my behalf, my daughter doesn’t know. Kidnapping Wu Tian’s daughter, this task is for you."
Cold Strategist hesitated, fearing encountering incompetent allies.
But still, he nodded.
...In the morning, the little fellow went for a walk after eating water-dumplings; children generally don’t want to be too controlled,
so she shook off Qin Yuhan and ran to the back garden of Su Mansion by herself; kids can easily be scared.
But she’s not like that; rather, she’s looking forward to something exciting happening to her, keen to have an adventure, because in adventures, there are always opportunities for showcasing and face-slapping.
Looking at the flowers in the garden, different from those in Earth City, the little fellow’s expression remained calm, without any emotional stir.
Just as she rounded a corner, a figure suddenly appeared behind her, moving at astonishing speed.
He’s not Cold Strategist.
As a strategist, he knows to protect himself,
thus he called someone else to take the little fellow away while he secretly watched this scene from a hidden spot.
The shadow behind the little fellow quickly placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Success."
Upon seeing this, the shadow felt pleased internally, thinking that holding a child’s shoulder could easily carry them away.
At least, the shadow thought it was undeniably so.
