Call me trash? I can instantly kill an S-level talent with just one yuan!

at the same time.

The news spread like wildfire among the top officials in Wangjiang City.

"Li Aiguo, what's going on?! A genius with S-level talent has appeared at Wangjiang Middle School, and I, the mayor, only found out about it because of a notification from the provincial authorities!"

Inside the mayor's office at the Wangjiang City Central Government.

A greasy, pot-bellied middle-aged man shouted angrily into the phone, his words full of accusation.

This person is none other than Wang Qian, the mayor of Wangjiang City, a peak Qi and Blood Realm expert.

"Mayor, I'm innocent... I don't know what happened. Ye Chen was a B-level talent just two days ago, and today he's suddenly an S-level talent. This... this..."

On the other end of the phone, Li Aiguo looked miserable and completely innocent.

If he knew Ye Chen had S-level talent, why would he still fawn over the Du family for a little "benefit"?

They had long treated Ye Chen like an ancestor.

"You mean, he was still a B-level just two days ago?"

Wang Qian grasped the key point in the words.

Upon hearing this, Li Aiguo felt relieved, relieved that the mayor would listen to his explanation.

"I swear on my life, every word is true! It's truly... an injustice!"

"Tell me exactly what happened, not a single word!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Li Aiguo quickly explained the whole story.

Even the matter of Du Cheng hiring someone to assassinate Ye Chen was explained in detail.

This includes threatening Ye Chen at the hospital.

Of course, he distanced himself completely.

At this point, it's a matter of sacrificing a fellow Daoist to save oneself.

It's uncertain whether the Du family will even exist in the future; this is his only chance to protect himself.

If he had known more about the family, he would have even wanted to reveal the exact color of the Du family's underwear.

After listening, Wang Qian remained silent for a long time.

"Seriously injured..."

"Could it be that this kid's talent has been strongly stimulated, causing him to level up?"

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Li Aiguo quickly agreed.

Wang Qian's expression was grim. "Regardless, his S-level talent is a done deal. Now, what we need to do is protect him and wait for the higher-ups to come and pick him up. We absolutely cannot allow any more problems to occur!"

"Understood, understood."

Li Aiguo wiped the sweat from his face and breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, their city had produced an S-level talent, and they, the principals and mayors, would have been rewarded.

But given the current situation, it would be a blessing if they weren't punished.

"By the way, Principal Li, when they ask you questions about Ye Chen later, you know what to say, right?"

Li Aiguo looked mournful.

"I understand, but Mayor...aren't you the person primarily responsible? You should be at the forefront."

"Bullshit, I had no idea about that!"

"you……"

……

The main hall of the Du family residence.

At this moment, there was also a huge argument.

A dignified-looking middle-aged man sat on the stage, his face grim.

This man was none other than Du Chun, the head of the Du family and Du Cheng's father.

Meanwhile, below the stage, a dozen men and women glared at each other angrily.

"Li Roujuan, you spent all your family fortune buying powerful spirit crystals for your good-for-nothing son, and this is the result? Offending a future Grandmaster!?"

A beautiful woman adorned with gold and silver responded excitedly.

"My son didn't get an A grade?! Did my son get an A grade or not?!"

"So what? That bastard offended a genius with S-level talent. Does he have any chance of survival? Does our Du family have any chance of survival?!"

"Now that you've heard my son became an A-level student, you're rushing to fawn over him, aren't you?!"

"You shameless bastard! When did I ever lick him?!"

"Alright! Shut up, all of you!"

Du Chun slammed his hand on the table.

With a loud crash, he abruptly stood up. "What kind of behavior is this! Is this the time to shirk responsibility? Preserving the family's status is the real issue!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to Du Chun stood up with a gloomy face.

"Big brother, what do you suggest we do?"

Du Chun frowned deeply.

"I've heard A-Cheng mention this Ye Chen before. He's an orphan with no parents. He used to have B-level talent, and even though he's now S-level, his horizons won't broaden anytime soon. Du Tao, take 300 million over there immediately and see if you can make peace and ask him not to pursue A-Cheng's previous offense."

"300 million?! Are you crazy! The family only has a few million left, and the son still needs to buy resources!" Li Roujuan exclaimed in astonishment.

"Shut up, you idiot!"

Du Chun looked at the woman with intense disgust.

"What era are we in that we still care about money?!"

Li Roujuan was startled.

Since marrying into the Du family, Du Chun has never yelled at her like that before.

Du Chun ignored the woman and looked at Du Tao with a serious expression.

"Remember, try to avoid talking to Ye Chen alone, and if he doesn't agree, then increase your bargaining power. As long as he agrees not to pursue A-Cheng, everything is negotiable."

"Brother, what if—I mean, what if—he still doesn't agree?"

A cold glint flashed in Du Chun's eyes.

"Our Du family has spent decades of our wealth cultivating an A-level talent; we absolutely cannot give up now. If he refuses to let our Du family go... then we'll have no choice but to find a way to eliminate him!"

The scene fell silent instantly.

The dozen or so people present, all wearing expressions of disbelief, all wore expressions of disbelief.

S-level talent, a rare genius in the country!

They are a key target for the Martial Arts Association to recruit through special exceptions, and are highly sought after by the country!

Killing such a genius would absolutely be considered a treasonous crime!

Once the truth comes out, not only Du Cheng, but no one in the entire Du family will escape.

"Master, this..."

Someone hesitated before speaking.

But Du Chun raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Needless to say, it's like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. If the family wants to develop and prosper, we must give it our all!"

"If any of you wish to leave, I, Du Chun, will not stop you; you may leave on your own. However, if anyone dares to utter a single word about what happened here, I, Du Chun, swear to hunt them down to the ends of the earth!"

After speaking, Du Chun looked around at everyone and unleashed his powerful strength as a seventh-level Qi and Blood Realm cultivator without restraint.

The group exchanged glances.

No one got up to leave.

Here, they are still members of the most prestigious family in Wangjiang City, the upper class, enjoying the best resources for food, drink, and daily necessities.

Once they leave here, they are nothing.

Du Chun nodded in satisfaction.

"Du Tao, you must set off immediately!"

"Um!"

"Sister-in-law, go and find out about Ye Chen's classmates and friends, and try to get them to speak on his behalf as well."

"Okay, big brother."

"And that Li Aiguo, go warn him not to talk nonsense!"

"clear."

"Third brother, is your daughter sixteen years old? Why did you let her get close to Ye Chen?"

"Big brother, this..."

"Your daughter only has C-level talent. If she can get involved with Ye Chen, that would be her good fortune."

"Um... what you said makes sense. I'll go arrange it right away!"
