Supreme Warrior in the City

The composed elder clearly seemed discontent with Chen Benhong, and after speaking, he promptly led his group away.

In the presence of the composed elder, Chen Benhong’s face had been the epitome of respect and reverence. This composed elder possessed no low standing within the family; almost all of the family’s experts, who had overcome the bottlenecks to becoming The Sovereign, held him in high esteem. Even amongst the Council of Elders, teeming with Terrestrial Immortals, he occupied an exceedingly important position.

Chen Benhong, desiring to be the next Family Head, knew he had to show ample respect to this composed elder.

However, once those people left, Chen Benhong’s expression swiftly changed. His face filled with disdain and defiance, he coldly said, "Old fossil, truly frightened out of his wits by Ye Jiansheng, always so timid and cautious in his actions. How could one achieve great things like this? What is Pingnan Province? How could it compare with Capital City? Even if you turned Pingnan Province upside down, you’d not find a single person who’s broken through the bottleneck to become The Sovereign. What’s there to fear? As for that Ye Jiansheng, hmph, having joined the rank of Earth Immortals, there’s no need to fear him. At his age, he’s really lived like a dog!"

Beside him, Huang Mingshan nodded vigorously, "Chen Shao, these old fellows are all the same. The old fossils in my family say the same thing. They tell me to stay put at home and not to go looking for trouble. How could these old things understand that the world has already changed, no longer sticking to their old ways? Young people who lack even a drop of spirit, what are they then? Without striving and fighting, how can one come out on top? Are we expected to live our whole lives in compliance like them, only to be surpassed by others with more courage?"

Chen Benhong looked at Huang Mingshan appreciatively and nodded, "You’re entirely right. They say that my Chen Family has become the third major family in Capital City only under the protection of the Black Widow. And these old fellows, they want me to take over the family and continue to hold steady as we have."

"But what they don’t realize is that although the Chen Family has been the third family in Capital City for these years, in reality, countless people have been stabbing us in the back, claiming that my Chen Family rose up relying on a woman, relying on the Su Family of Yanbei."

"And whatever my Chen Family does, we have to look at that woman’s mood. Who really runs this family, is it us surnamed Chen, or is she surnamed Su calling the shots? If I, Chen Benhong, am to take over the family, then I must change this situation completely. I want everyone to know that matters concerning my Chen Family will be decided by the Chen Family!"

Chen Benhong’s words were filled with passion and fervor, making Huang Mingshan beside him also look extremely agitated and excitedly said, "Chen Shao, I fully support you. Your words have my blood boiling; this is the true demeanor a great figure should have. Rest assured, from now on, with just one order from you, through fire and sword, I wouldn’t even frown!"
