Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 294 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.
The mourning hall fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the box.

Wang Ai suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing with a sharp light.

He snatched the box away; it felt heavy and cold to the touch.

He fumbled for the box lid, not in a hurry to open it, but instead ran his fingers over it, as if trying to feel the last traces of his father, Wang Li, left on the box.

The things her father left behind... Wang Ai's mind raced.

Is it a family heirloom? A last resort? Or... a secret specifically designed to deal with Zhao Zhen?

His facial muscles contorted for a moment, then settled into an almost cold calm.

Finally, Wang Ai stopped looking at her father's body, turned around with the box in her arms, and said in a deep voice to the group of clansmen who were filled with fear, anger, or expectation:

"Uncles and elders, Zhao Zhen forced my father to his death. I, Wang Ai, will fight him to the death for this grudge!"
In the following days, my father was given a grand funeral, the news was kept secret, and strict security was maintained.

All members of the Wang family must exercise extra caution in their actions outside the home, and no one... is permitted to discuss today's events!

After saying that, Wang Ai's gaze swept over everyone, carrying an unprecedented toughness, and his previous naive and endearing demeanor was gone.

"After I've finished handling the funeral arrangements, I'll discuss the future of the Wang family with you uncles and elders!"

He emphasized the words "future events".

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Looking at Wang Ai clutching the box tightly, and the madness and determination flashing in her eyes, they all gradually understood one thing.

Although Wang Li is dead, his son is probably even more obsessive and ruthless than his father!
Wang Ai ignored everyone else, clutching the heavy box, and with heavy steps, she eventually disappeared into her room.

A few days later, upon seeing the telegram sent back from the Jiangsu branch, Zhao Zhen's lips curled into a smile.

"What's up, Mr. Zhao? You seem to be in a good mood today~"

Yu Yang, who was outside the door carrying a large stack of documents, joked.

"News from Jiangsu says that Huaiyi and Zibu have successfully escaped their pursuers."

"They actually managed to fight their way out..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang's face immediately showed a touch of emotion.

Despite being surrounded and attacked by so many sects of supernatural beings, and even with the secret support of Na Du Tong, the two of them managed to escape unharmed.

If their positions and circumstances were reversed, and if Yu Yang himself were in that dangerous situation, he would probably have died countless times by now!

"It must be admitted that almost every one of the thirty-five people who could become sworn brothers with Wugensheng is an outstanding individual, especially the eight who have mastered the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

If it weren't for the identities of these eight individuals, and if we could employ them all, it would be an even greater advantage for us!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen gave Yu Yang a knowing look.

"Yu Yang, Yu Yang, I never expected you, who seem so quiet all the time, to have such a big appetite!"
Right now, the entire world of supernatural beings is fighting tooth and nail for these eight extraordinary skills; countless people dream of obtaining even one of them.

But you, on the contrary, are thinking of acquiring all the extraordinary skills.

"Haha, Chairman Zhao, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!"

Besides, what's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?
However, even so, I also think it's a bit unrealistic, so I'm just thinking about it.

"Just thinking about it? Then you really are no different from a salted fish."

"what?"

Yu Yang blinked and looked at Zhao Zhen with some confusion.

Why can we only think about it? It's only a matter of time!

Although we don't have the ability to control all eight extraordinary skills right now, I will eventually manage them in a unified manner.

These disruptive techniques must absolutely not be allowed to spread on a large scale!

"Chairman Zhao is mighty!"

Yu Yang readily flattered Zhao Zhen, and the two exchanged a knowing smile. Just as Zhao Zhen was about to "help" Yu Yang deal with the pile of documents in his hands, a telegram was suddenly delivered to Yu Yang.

Yu Yang's expression changed drastically after just one glance.

"Something terrible has happened, Chairman Zhao!"

"what's up?"

Zhao Zhen rubbed his temples and asked with a hint of helplessness.

These are turbulent times; one wave subsides only for another to rise.

The turmoil at the Extraordinary People Conference just subsided a few days ago, and now another incident has occurred. Can't things just calm down for a couple of days?

"It's Wugensheng! Someone has discovered Wugensheng's whereabouts!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow and then firmly retorted, "Impossible! Wu Gensheng is dead. I saw it with my own eyes!"
Could it be that the person misread it? Or is this simply fake news deliberately spread by someone?

"It's still unclear whether the news is true or not, but Chairman Zhao, Master Wu of the Sanyi Sect has already led his men down the mountain after hearing the news!"

"What?!!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Zhen's previously calm expression instantly changed, and he immediately stood up from his chair.

"It's that Chengzhen again! He's always causing me trouble!"

After muttering a curse under his breath, Zhao Zhen sat back down in his chair.

"Where did this news about Wugensheng come from?"

“In Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, it is said that someone personally witnessed the long-lost Wugensheng reappear there.”

"How can this be?"

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath. Back then, in the He Weiren Cave, he had personally witnessed Wu Gensheng transferring all of his innate Qi to his daughter Feng Baobao in order to save her.

Wugensheng is dead; this is an indisputable fact.

So, what exactly happened that someone claimed to have witnessed this?

With this in mind, Zhao Zhen decided to make the trip to Zhenjiang himself.

Firstly, it's to find out who spread this rumor and what their purpose was.

Secondly, it was for Chengzhen, the head of the Sanyi Sect who had come down the mountain.

This incident shows that this guy has never truly given up on his obsession with Wugensheng, or rather, with Sanchong!
"Yu Yang, help me make preparations. I plan to personally travel to Zhenjiang soon."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, I'll go prepare it for you right away."

By the way, should we say hello to our people in Zhenjiang?

"Need not."

Zhao Zhen shook his head.

"Perfect timing, I'll go check on how our people are doing over there."

"Chairman Zhao, are you planning a surprise inspection?"

Yu Yang glanced at Zhao Zhen with amusement.

"What? Are you afraid I'll check you?"

"No, that's not it. Okay, I'll go arrange it right away!"
