The Forsaken's Revenge

Chapter 73 Accidental Encounter and Surprise!


Hearing Li Yitong's words, Chen Zheng smiled and nodded. "Family Head Li is as thoughtful as ever, but you have matters at home, so you don't need to be my driver. I'll just take a drive around myself!"

She didn't know why, but upon hearing she wouldn't have to drive, she suddenly felt a pang of disappointment, though she didn't let it show.

Then, she took out a card from her jacket and handed it over. "This is from the Su Family. They want to invite you to the Crown Hotel. They said they wish to apologize to you!"

Looking at the invitation card, Chen Zheng was startled. This thing looks like it's made of solid gold! Are these traditional martial arts families really this rich?!

The Su Family must be inviting him because they were afraid he still held a grudge against them. However, Chen Zheng couldn't be bothered with such matters anymore. After all, the person who shot the Devouring Sky Needle was dead, and his father's cultivation was crippled.

But if I don't go, they probably won't be able to rest easy, will they?

With that in mind, Chen Zheng nodded. "Alright, I'll go over tonight. Let the Su Family know."

Li Yitong nodded and pulled out a key fob. "Here are the car keys!"

"Oh, by the way, Chen Zheng, we'll give you your payment when we return to Yunzhou. We need some time to prepare it!"

Chen Zheng waved his hand. "Alright, no rush!"

After that, Li Yitong and Li Yifeng left.

It was only when Chen Zheng arrived at the parking lot that he saw the car the Li Family had given him—a red Ferrari! Chen Zheng had seen this model online before; it was worth over eight million. He used to dream of owning one, and now it had been delivered right to him!

He nonchalantly opened the door, started the car, and headed for Stone Pool Village.

This village was quite famous in Magic Capital. It was said that Magic Capital's annual food festival was held there.

The barren land Chen Zheng had obtained was located about three kilometers from Stone Pool Village, in a place with incredible scenery. He'd heard that many large real estate companies in Magic Capital had their eyes on that plot but had never succeeded in acquiring it.

I have to admit, the System is incredible!

Chen Zheng drove along listening to Guo Degang on the radio and soon arrived at the plot of barren land. He got out of the car for a quick look but was ready to head back immediately. There was nothing to see but weeds.

However, it just so happened that Stone Pool Village was hosting its food festival. The internet was blowing up with hype about it, and Chen Zheng, feeling a bit curious, decided to stop by and check it out.

Before long, he drove into Stone Pool Village. Like all touristy ancient towns, Stone Pool Village was very quaint, filled with the sorts of trinkets you could find anywhere in the country, as well as various "local" snacks that weren't actually local at all.

Adopting a "since I'm here, I might as well enjoy it" mindset, Chen Zheng parked the car and went for a stroll.

But just as he entered the village, he suddenly noticed a figure stumbling straight toward him.

If I dodge, they'll definitely face-plant.

Chen Zheng thought for a moment and stood his ground.

"Ah!"

A clear voice cried out. Chen Zheng looked down and saw it was a young woman. She had big eyes, wore no makeup, and looked quite cute.

"Sorry about that…" she said apologetically.

"It's alright, just be more careful!" Chen Zheng smiled.

Just as he was about to leave, an angry voice shouted from nearby, "Kid, get lost! I'm warning you, don't meddle in things that don't concern you!"

Chen Zheng's brow furrowed slightly. The girl trembled and quickly hid behind him.

Looking up, Chen Zheng saw two young men approaching him furiously. "Get out of the way!" one of them yelled, grabbing Chen Zheng's collar and trying to shove him aside.

But no matter how hard the man pulled, Chen Zheng remained rooted to the spot, as if he had grown out of the ground.

"Are you sick in the head? You love poking your nose into other people's business, don't you?" The young man was surprised, but he didn't give it much thought.

Chen Zheng sneered, "What's it to you? Are you the village chief? Do you own this place?"

"Heh, you really are looking for trouble. Trying to play the hero saving the damsel in distress?" The young man cocked his head and let go of Chen Zheng, a smug look on his face. "Do you have any idea who this is? This is the young master of the Crown Hotel, Wang Yu! Are you trying to save the girl or commit suicide?"

Beside him, Wang Yu's expression was cold, his eyes filled with disdain.

"If you want to meddle, fine. Fork over two hundred thousand, and we'll let this girl go. Otherwise, scram while you still can!"

Chen Zheng laughed. "Me, give you two hundred thousand? Are you insane?"

"HA!" the man laughed loudly. "Young Master Wang's Ferrari is worth over two million, and it's brand new! She scratched the paint. Making her pay two hundred thousand is letting her off easy!"

At that moment, the cowering girl suddenly shouted, "I didn't even touch the car! You're framing me!"

Simultaneously, the System's voice echoed in Chen Zheng's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on triggering a choice!]

[Option One: Roar when you see injustice! These despicable rich kids are bullying a young girl; teach them what a righteous fist feels like! Reward: Stone Pool Village Gourmet Cookbook!]

[Option Two: Let someone else handle it! I'm busy, so why should I help? Reward: Two dollars in cash!]

Chen Zheng couldn't help but smile. He had come to Stone Pool Village specifically for its cuisine, and now a reward was offering him a cookbook!

He didn't even glance at the second option. Two dollars? You couldn't even give that to a beggar. The System clearly doesn't want me to pick this one.

So, Chen Zheng chose option one without hesitation.

"Ha! When did we frame you? With Young Master Wang's status, would he even need to frame a nobody like you?!"

The girl wanted to retort, but she was so angry she couldn't find the words, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

At that moment, Chen Zheng spoke up. "So, it's her fault just because you say it is? I could claim you slept in a pigsty last night. Does that make it true?"

Having made his choice, Chen Zheng began to play hardball.

"It was definitely her!" the young man glared at Chen Zheng fiercely. "Kid, if you're going to meddle, cough up two hundred thousand. Otherwise, get lost!"

Chen Zheng curled his lip. He couldn't be bothered to waste any more words on them.

The System already said they were deliberately trying to scam the young woman.

With that thought, Chen Zheng strode forward and unleashed his Inner Strength, sending them flying with a shockwave.

It looked like he sent them flying, but they probably weren't seriously injured. He hadn't wanted to hurt them badly.

Afterward, he said, "Your little scam is pathetic. I was just in the parking lot. Your car was parked next to mine. That scratch looks like it's from last year!"

"Bullshit! Kid, you just wait! We'll make you regret this!" With that, the two men scrambled to their feet and slinked away.
