Chapter 2: The City Lord's Son Strives (1)
After Su Chen died, he found himself in a strange, pitch-black space.
"Damn it! That old dog of the Xu family actually had such fortune!"
Recalling Xu Ba's final words, Su Chen burned with resentment. The city lord's breakthrough to the Spirit Vein Realm had seemed all but guaranteed. Yet the Xu family had broken through first.
Such was heaven's will; fate played cruel tricks. Just as the Xu family ancestor had said, if the city lord had advanced first, it would have been the Su family storming the Xu compound instead.
"Someone from the Su family betrayed me!"
If anyone could have seen Su Chen's face in that moment, they would have found it as black as coal. Those sent away were either his direct descendants or his sworn brothers who had faced life and death alongside him.
But Su Chen had no time to dwell on betrayal now. His long-awaited cheat—the system he had yearned for across a full century—had finally arrived.
After death. How perfectly ironic.
Su Chen turned his gaze toward the cheat.
