The SSSSSSSS-level Mad Dragon is released from prison!

As Jiang Chen approached, Su Changhe's Adam's apple bobbed, and he made two dry swallowing sounds.

His gaze wandered, glancing at the still-smoking pool of black pus on the ground.

That's Su Zhen.

The eldest son of the Su family, who was about to wipe out the entire Su family just minutes ago, is now reduced to ashes.

Su Changhe's legs felt weak, and he could only stand up by holding onto the sofa armrests.

The snowstorm outside had stopped, and the only sound in the living room was the wind.

After the suffocating threat of death disappeared, Su Changhe's elder-like demeanor resurfaced.

He straightened his slightly disheveled collar and coughed lightly.

"Um... that's fine."

Su Changhe avoided Jiang Chen's somewhat unsettling eyes and looked away.

"Now that the crisis is over, let's consider this matter closed."

He walked to the center of the living room, trying to make his steps appear as steady as possible.

"Although Su Zhen is extremely rebellious, he is, after all, the eldest grandson of the Su family and your nominal brother-in-law."

Su Changhe pointed to the black water on the ground, his voice rising several octaves.

"You killed him outright. How are we, the Su family, supposed to explain this to the old family mansion?"

"Furthermore, if word gets out that there are corpses all over the ground, and the police investigate, are you trying to drag the entire Su family down with you?"

Jiang Chen stopped and tilted his head to look at the man who had just been hiding under the table, trembling with fear.

He took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, but didn't light it.

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't speak, Su Changhe assumed that he was stunned by his words, and his courage immediately grew.

He put his hands behind his back, strolled over to Jiang Chen, and adopted a lecturing posture.

"Young man, don't go too far in your actions; you need to know the rules."

"The method you used to save Jinyu just now seemed pretty strange to me; it wasn't ordinary medical skill, was it?"

A glint of greed flashed in Su Changhe's eyes.

If the Su family could master that golden light that broke through the ice and the method that burned the poisonous insects to ashes, why wouldn't they be able to reach the top in Qincheng?

"Write down the incantation of that technique and give it to the family for safekeeping."

Su Changhe stretched out his hand and laid it out in front of Jiang Chen as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I am your father-in-law, and this is for the good of the Su family. This thing can be a family heirloom for the Su family in the future."

"And hand over that jade pendant that can detoxify as well."

Su Jinyu, standing at the top of the stairs, frowned, about to speak.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Those are Jiang Chen's things."

Su Changhe turned around abruptly and glared at his daughter.

"What do you know! Since he's married into the Su family, he belongs to the Su family, and his belongings naturally belong to the Su family too!"

"Besides, murder is a serious crime! Just not reporting him to the authorities is already the greatest favor I can do for him!"

The more Su Changhe talked, the more convinced he felt he was in the right. His finger, pointing at Jiang Chen's nose, was almost poking at the unlit cigarette.

"Jiang Chen, one should be grateful for kindness. Our Su family took in a convict like you..."

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound interrupted Su Changhe's incessant chatter.

Air vibration.

Su Changhe was thrown sideways as if he had been hit by a speeding truck.

"Splash!"

He crashed heavily into the mahogany screen on one side of the living room.

The priceless antique screen shattered into pieces in an instant, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Su Changhe fell into the pile of wood like a dead dog, and half of his face instantly swelled up like a steamed bun.

Several bloody teeth spurted from his mouth and rolled onto the floor.

"ah--!"

The belated, excruciating pain made him cover his face and scream in agony.

"You...you dare hit me?!"

Su Changhe lay on the ground, staring at Jiang Chen in disbelief, shouting incoherently.

"I am your father-in-law! I am the second master of the Su family! You beast, born of a mother but raised without one, how dare you hit your elder!"

"I'm calling the police! I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail! I'll let the whole of Qincheng know you're a serial killer!"

Jiang Chen took the cigarette out of his mouth and held it between his fingers.

"elder?"

He chuckled softly and strode towards Su Changhe.

The soles of my shoes crunched and crackled as I stepped on the wood chips.

"Where were you, as an elder, when your daughter was dying?"

"Where were you, Second Master, when others were trying to wipe out the entire Su family?"

Jiang Chen walked up to Su Changhe and looked down at him.

"Now that the danger is over, are you remembering you're the elder?"

"You want my cultivation techniques? You think you're worthy?"

Looking into those emotionless eyes, Su Changhe felt that fear surge up again.

But he still put on a brave face and shouted defiantly.

"Don't do anything reckless! This is a society governed by law! You can claim self-defense if you kill Su Zhen, but if you kill me, you're really finished!"

"Jinyu! Aren't you going to do something about your crazy husband?!"

Su Changhe tried to ask his daughter for help.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Noisy."

The moment the words fell.

boom!

A terrifying, invisible wave of energy erupted from Jiang Chen.

It wasn't wind, it was pure gravity.

The atmosphere in the entire living room instantly plummeted to its lowest point.

Just as Su Changhe was about to struggle to his feet, he suddenly felt as if two mountains were pressing down on his shoulders.

"Snap!"

That was the cracking sound of the kneecap unable to withstand the pressure.

"what!"

Su Changhe screamed, his legs bending uncontrollably as he tried to stand up.

"Thump!"

His knees slammed heavily onto the marble floor.

The hard floor tiles were instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and his two knees sank deep into them.

Fresh blood seeped out from his trouser leg.

Su Changhe was in so much pain that his eyes almost bulged out. He opened his mouth wide and gasped for breath, but couldn't make a sound.

The oppressive force pressed down firmly on his head.

Don't want to kneel?

Then I'll break your bones and force you to kneel.

"I can pull the Su family back from the brink of death."

Jiang Chen bent down and patted Su Changhe's swollen face, the movement as light as if he were patting an obedient dog.

"We can also raze this wretched place to the ground at any time."

"Don't try to intimidate me with that ridiculous seniority system."

"In Qincheng Prison, I can make anyone live. I can make anyone kneel down, even the King of Heaven has to bend his knees."

Su Changhe lay on the ground, trembling all over, his face covered in snot and tears.

He was genuinely scared.

This man is not human; he is a devil.

Jiang Chen straightened up and didn't look at this good-for-nothing again.

He turned and walked towards the main chair in the center of the living room, which belonged to the head of the household.

He turned around and sat down.

Legs crossed, posture languid.

"Does anyone else have any objections?"

Jiang Chen's gaze swept across the hall.

Su Jinyu stood at the top of the stairs, looking at the man sitting in the high seat.

That grand master's chair was usually where my grandfather sat, representing the supreme power of the Su family.

At this moment, Jiang Chen sat there, but he exuded more authority than his grandfather.

That domineering arrogance that looks down on the world is not an act; it is ingrained in one's bones.

With Su Zhen dead, whether the second branch of the family can establish itself in Qincheng and withstand the covetousness of other families depends entirely on this man.

Without him, the Su family would be a pile of corpses tonight.

Su Jinyu took a deep breath.

She lifted the tattered hem of her skirt and walked down the stairs step by step until she stood in front of Jiang Chen.

No hesitation.

There was no humiliation.

This usually arrogant and beautiful female CEO of Qincheng knelt down slowly with her knees bent.

The white knees touched the cold floor.

Su Jinyu lowered her head, her forehead touching the back of her hand, and performed a deep bow she had never done before.

"Su Jinyu of the Su family thanks Mr. Jiang for saving her life."

Her voice was cool and clear, yet it conveyed an unprecedented firmness.

"From now on, the entire Su family will follow Mr. Jiang's lead."

"The Su family dares not disobey Mr. Fan's orders."

Li Qiuyue, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

But she reacted quickly.

My daughter is kneeling, and my husband is a good-for-nothing. It's obvious to anyone who's in charge in this family now.

Li Qiuyue quickly stepped forward and knelt beside her daughter.

"Thank you so much, son-in-law, for saving my life! From now on, Mom... I'll listen to you!"

Jiang Chen sat in the armchair, a wisp of true fire flickering at his fingertips, finally lighting the cigarette.

He took a deep breath, the pungent smoke swirling in his lungs before slowly exhaling.

A bluish-white haze swirled around him, obscuring the fleeting golden glint in his eyes.

The Su family has been taken over.

This is just the first step.

Jiang Chen raised his head, his gaze passing through the broken door and looking out into the pitch-black night.

That direction leads to the very center of Qin City.

It is also the location of the Jiang family mansion, the most prestigious family in Qincheng.

His elder brother, who stole his destiny, lived there, as did his biological father, who sent him to prison for personal gain.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Now that the show here is over..."

"Then we should go and tear that house down completely."
