Chapter 120 Let's get married together!
Qian Mushang was also shocked when he saw the other party make a move, he did not expect Wang Niantan to be so strong.
However, thinking of the important person he had invited, he felt relieved. Not to mention Wang Nian, even if Su Yu came, he would be useless!
Just then, another carriage arrived. The curtain was lifted, and Jia Cheng, dressed in a silk robe, slowly stepped down, supported by two maids.
"Old Jia! You've finally arrived!"
Like a drowning man grasping at a straw, Yang Chongren rushed forward to help, his voice trembling, "The Qian family has gone too far! Please, sir, uphold justice for my Yang family!"
Upon seeing this, Qian Mushang's face flashed with a perfectly timed look of surprise, which he quickly replaced with a smile as he stepped forward, "Mr. Jia, how could I trouble you with such a small matter?"
Jia Cheng arrived at the scene and, without further ado, said, "Alright, I know the whole story. I'm here on behalf of Jinxiu Pavilion to uphold justice."
"Regarding the business dealings between your Qian family and the Yang family, everything will be handled according to the rules of the Black Stone City underworld!"
"Let's have a match!"
The moment those two words were uttered, everyone around fell silent.
"Both sides will contribute 50% of their respective shares, including Jinxiufang's purchase quota and a share of the store's business, as a wager! The winner will take all!"
"Fifty percent?!"
A gasp erupted from the crowd. This was a life-or-death gamble! Whoever lost would see their business plummet. Within a few years, they'd be crushed by the other!
"My Yang family has no objections! We'll follow Elder Jia's orders!" Yang Chongren responded loudly without any hesitation. He had paid a huge price for this opportunity, and now with two top experts, Wang Niantan and Su Yu, in charge, when else would he dare to take the plunge?
On the other hand, Qian Mushang's face was extremely ugly, as if he had suffered a great loss.
He hurriedly argued, "Old Jia, this—this isn't the right thing to do, is it? Manager Xu clearly promised to give all the goods to my Qian family—"
Jia Cheng's face immediately turned angry. "Now that I'm here, I naturally have the authority to make decisions regarding the business of Jinxiufang. Manager Xu has personally met with me about this matter!"
"What, do you have a problem with that?"
"No, no, no! I wouldn't dare! In this business, who would dare disrespect you!" Qian Mushang waved his hands repeatedly, and finally could only reluctantly cup his hands and say, "Fine! Since Elder Jia has spoken, my Qian family—accepts!"
Seeing Qian Mushang's humiliated appearance, Yang Chongren's last bit of doubt vanished.
"Since there are no objections, let's draw up a written agreement!"
"You have half an hour to prepare your men. The contest will take place right here at this street corner in half an hour!"
"Half an hour? That's too rushed, Elder Jia, could you give us more time? —" Qian Mushang was still trying to stall for time, his face full of anxiety.
"Hey! Patriarch Qian!" Yang Chongren didn't give him a chance to catch his breath and immediately interrupted, his voice booming, "Old Master Jia's word is his bond! He spoke for half an hour, and that's half an hour! Is your Qian family afraid?"
"You!" Qian Mushang pointed at Yang Chongren, his hand trembling with anger. Finally, he flung his sleeve and shouted, "Fine! Half an hour it is! If you lose, Yang Chongren, you'll regret it!"
With a firm resolve, Yang Chongren returned to his own group, whereupon Yang Ai, Yang Gang, and others immediately surrounded him.
"Father, are we confident about this arena battle?" Yang Gang's tone was no longer arrogant, but full of worry.
Seeing the worried looks on his children's faces, Yang Chongren calmly said, "Don't worry, Master Wang is very powerful and has already agreed to the challenge."
"And as for Su Gongfeng, your eldest sister has also sent word that the two of them are on their way."
"That's great! With Brother Su here, we definitely won't lose the competition!" Yang Ai's face lit up with joy.
"Second sister, is Su Yu really that amazing?" Yang Gang asked with some skepticism.
"Brother Su was in the top five in the martial arts examination! You didn't even pay attention to the martial arts examination, did you!" At this point, Yang Ai immediately grabbed her younger brother's ear again and said angrily.
"Ouch! Ouch! Second Sister, let go!" Yang Gang grimaced. "I believe you! I believe you, okay? As long as we win, I'll even call him 'Dad'!"
"That's right, Brother Su is the most amazing!" Yang Ai wiped away her tears, her spirits lifted, "Father, your methods are truly impressive! You forced the Qian family to fight in the arena, and if we win, we can even take over their business!"
Hearing this, Yang Chongren felt a surge of anticipation, but his expression remained unchanged as he cautiously said, "The outcome of the competition is still undecided; it's too early to speak of such things!"
His gaze shifted to the opposite side, and seeing Qian Mushang's anxious expression, the worry in his heart was completely suppressed.
No matter how many tricks the Qian family has up their sleeve, in the end, they will still have to rely on force to decide the outcome!
His two retainers are not even at the first level of the acupoint realm, so they are definitely no match for Su!
In such a short time, it's impossible for them to hire outside help! Moreover, given the Qian family's financial resources, it's almost impossible for them to afford higher-level martial arts experts!
"The offering has arrived!"
Butler Yang Quan shouted, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
A carriage came to a stop in the distance, and a tall, slender figure stepped out from behind the curtain.
Su Yu was dressed in a sharp black outfit today, with a long sword hanging at his waist, and his expression was indifferent.
Yang Chongren's face instantly lit up with the brightest smile. He strode forward to greet him, his back slightly bent, striking a perfect pose.
Su Yu was somewhat surprised by Yang Chongren's respectful attitude. However, his expression remained calm as he returned the greeting with clasped hands: "Uncle Yang, you're too kind. It's just my duty. What's the situation now?"
Yang Chongren's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "The competition will begin in less than half an hour. The stakes are 50% of the business share of both the Yang and Qian families. This will determine the future of the Yang family! I urge Elder Su—to give it your all!"
Su Yu gently rubbed the hilt of his knife with his fingers, his tone remaining calm: "Uncle Yang, rest assured, as long as it's within my capabilities, I will do my best. However, let me make this clear from the start: if things become impossible, I will not risk my life."
A slight stiffness flashed across Yang Chongren's face, but he immediately nodded, "What you say is absolutely right, I understand, I understand."
"Brother Su!"
A red figure pounced like a butterfly. Yang Ai kicked away Yang Gang, who was trying to get closer, and tilted her head back, her eyes full of joy: "That Qian family is too much! Brother Su, you must help us teach them a lesson!"
Yang Ai swarmed around like a butterfly, happier than anyone else at that moment, and kicked away her younger brother who wanted to join in.
Looking at the girl's vibrant face, Su Yu's cold and hard heart softened a bit, and he nodded slightly: "Don't worry."
"Brother Su!"
At this moment, Wang Niantan, who had been waiting on the sidelines, also strode forward. This man, who had been so arrogant before, now appeared somewhat reserved standing in front of Su Yu.
"Brother Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
When Wang Nian saw Su Yu return the greeting, his face lit up with joy.
Su Yu had previously participated in the martial arts examination, killed Sun Shi, and entered the top five. When he first heard the news, he was so shocked that he was completely dumbfounded.
That's Sun Shi! He's incredibly talented. He mastered Iron Armor Kung Fu at a young age and is a prominent figure in the martial arts school.
Unexpectedly, he was killed by Su Yu!
His progress is too fast. Although he defeated me before, his strength was far from this level. "Brother Su was truly a hidden dragon in the abyss. I was blind to his abilities." Wang Nianduo pulled him by the arm and led him to a corner.
"Brother Su, although I am a member of the Ironclad Martial Arts School, to be honest, I have always been a nobody on the fringes. I dare not interfere in your feud with the Ironclad Martial Arts School. Please do not misunderstand."
Su Yu patted him on the shoulder and said calmly, "Brother Wang, don't worry, I am a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Wang Niantan finally felt relieved.
Su Yu is indeed a young prodigy, a chosen one of heaven. Not only his potential, but also his character and other aspects are admirable.
I never imagined that I would be able to befriend such a genius!
Not far away, Yang Chongren pulled his daughter Yang Zhen aside and asked her what was wrong. He heard that she had not made any promises to Su Yu.
"Foolish!" Yang Chongren's face immediately turned angry. "How can you know if he's sincere about such an important matter without any promise of benefits?"
No, we must ensure that Su Yu gives it his all!
Recalling the desperate situation he had just been forced into by the Qian family, a decision flashed through his mind, and he asked softly, "Zhen'er, what do you think of Su Yu?"
"Brother Su is young and promising, with exceptional talent, and is excellent in every way." Yang Zhen blushed slightly, as if he knew what his father was thinking.
"Zhen'er, I'll go talk to Su Yu right now. If you win the arena match, you'll marry him, okay?"
"Ah, Father—but—I've noticed that Second Sister usually treats Brother Su quite differently—"
"Then let's get married together!"
Yang Chongren answered decisively.
Now that his son is unable to break through to the Martial Artist level, Yang Chongren's thinking has changed. In this cannibalistic world, the Yang family cannot continue like this.
I need to find someone to back me up!
Su Yu is so young and promising, his future is limitless.
At this point, it's no longer a loss for the Yang family that their daughter married Su Yu; in fact, the Yang family could even benefit from Su Yu's influence and soar to great heights together with him!
Furthermore, if the daughters give birth to sons in the future, they can discuss with Su Yu about adopting one of them into the Yang family. In this way, the Yang family can be completely bound to Su Yu and continue indefinitely!
Having figured this out, Yang Chongren had no more hesitation.
He straightened his clothes, walked quickly to Su Yu's side, and led Su Yu to a secluded corner with a mysterious and solemn expression on his face.
"Nephew Su, may I speak with you in private?"
Su Yu was a little puzzled. The arena competition was about to begin, and Yang Chongren was about to say something.
"Uncle Yang, please speak."
Looking at the composed young man before him, Yang Chongren took a deep breath and cut to the chase: "Nephew Su, what do you think of my two daughters?"
Su Yu was slightly taken aback, and said truthfully, "Both of you are ladies from prominent families, with outstanding looks and unique personalities, which is truly admirable."
Hearing this, Yang Chongren's eyes lit up with even greater joy. He stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said sincerely, "Nephew, I won't play games with you. The Yang family is currently in dire straits, and I value your character and potential. If you can help the Yang family win this life-or-death arena and overcome this calamity—"
He paused, then looked directly into Su Yu's eyes: "I, Yang, am willing to betroth both of my daughters to you, my worthy nephew! I wonder what you think, my worthy nephew?"
