Chapter 1280 - 1279: The Great Battle
Zhao Dongming almost collapsed to the ground; only now did he recall the earlier assessments of Su Yang, deeming him cunning as a demon!
He had previously sneered at these accolades, never taking them seriously.
Now he realized, the people’s evaluations were spot on. Su Yang’s cunning was indeed demonic!
"Do you know why during the banquet with those seventeen Family Heads, I kept everyone else out?" Su Yang casually smiled, "Because I didn’t actually punish them. I needed them to cooperate with my act; I couldn’t let the outsiders know what I was discussing with them."
Zhao Dongming now fully understood what Su Yang’s plan had been all along, and his expression turned exceedingly ugly. Clenching his teeth and fists tightly, he shouted furiously, "Su, you’re despicable!"
"Zhao Dongming, don’t you feel ashamed saying such things?" Su Yang chuckled, "After you left Qinghe Academy, you laid low for so long, waiting to strike at me. All this time, scheming how to kill me, brainstorming every possible method and tactic, yet you call me despicable? If you weren’t preoccupied with targeting and scheming against me, you wouldn’t have fallen for my trap or ended up like this. It was your ruthlessness that started all this!"
Zhao Dongming was utterly disheartened, just as Su Yang had described. Had he not acted this way, he would not have ended up like this.
"Alright, now that you know my plan, let’s settle our grudges," Su Yang spoke indifferently with a smile, "Zhao Dongming, truly, we had no previous enmities. From when you entered Qinghe Academy, you’ve continuously plotted against me, trying to trap me. It’s time we really settle our issues!"
Zhao Dongming clenched his teeth and said gravely, "Su, what’s done is done by the individual. This matter has nothing to do with them; let them go!"
