Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 497 No, I am not short of money.

Every week, Qin Han Chu would go out to eat something to satisfy his hunger.

One day, Qin Han Chu was driving his sports car on the road.

He parked the car and walked into a Sichuan restaurant.

While he was eating, the Sun family elder approached him.

“I am Sun Zhongcheng, may I sit down and have a chat with you, young friend?”

The Sun family elder asked with a smile.

“Please sit, eating alone is quite boring,” Qin Han Chu said while eating Fuqi Feipian.

Sun Zhongcheng thanked him and sat down opposite Qin Han Chu.

“May I know your name, young friend?”

Hearing this question, Qin Han Chu chuckled, “You don’t know my name? Never mind, you don’t need to try to trick me into saying anything. I can tell you directly, the people from your Sun family were killed by me.”

Qin Han Chu’s response stunned Sun Zhongcheng.

He hadn’t expected Qin Han Chu to admit it so directly.

“Are you from one of the nine great ancient families or from Dragon Gate Academy?”

Having composed himself, Sun Zhongcheng asked.

“Dragon Gate.”

Qin Han Chu replied casually.

Upon receiving this answer, Sun Zhongcheng didn’t show much emotional fluctuation.

He had already guessed this outcome before coming.

“My Sun family provoked you first. This matter ends here.”

“Our Sun family will not provoke you again.”

Even though the Dragon Gate had submitted to the nine great ancient families, Sun Zhongcheng still didn’t dare to fall out with Qin Han Chu.

Although his Sun family was a vassal of the Sun clan, the Sun clan would not help the Sun family for free.

If this continued, the Sun family’s losses would only become more severe.

To cut his losses, Sun Zhongcheng decided not to pursue the matter further.

“Alright, I’m too lazy to waste time with you people,” Qin Han Chu said.

Sun Zhongcheng said no more and got up to leave.

After finishing his meal, Qin Han Chu didn’t go home immediately.

He was a bit bored today and wanted to go to a bar for a couple of drinks.

When Qin Han Chu’s car was parked in the bar’s parking lot, the security guard immediately noticed him.

Although this nightclub was by membership only, seeing Qin Han Chu drive a limited edition luxury car, the security guards at the entrance didn’t dare to ask for his membership card.

Arriving at the bar counter, Qin Han Chu ordered a cocktail.

If Qin Han Chu had appeared with his original appearance and physique, beautiful women would have definitely come to strike up a conversation with him.

But Qin Han Chu was now a fat man, so after sitting for a long time, no woman approached him.

After drinking two glasses, Qin Han Chu got up to leave.

With Qin Han Chu’s strength, the alcohol from the two drinks would dissipate in moments.

But Qin Han Chu didn’t do that.

Leaving his car in the bar’s parking lot, he strolled along the roadside.

Looking at the dazzling night view of the city, Qin Han Chu murmured, “When the Longqi Empire attacks, this vibrant city will become ruins.”

The stronger one became, the more indifferent they were to life.

If a war were to break out, the weak would inevitably become sacrifices.

The most tragic thing was that these sacrifices would be in vain.

As he was walking, Qin Han Chu saw a beautiful woman in high heels walking towards him.

But at that moment, the beautiful woman suddenly stopped and her body began to sway.

Under Qin Han Chu’s gaze, a man emerged from the corner, then coldly embraced the beautiful woman.

The woman tried to struggle but had no strength.

“You’ve had too much to drink, I’ll take you home to rest,” the man said with a cold laugh, holding the beautiful woman.

“What are you doing?” Qin Han Chu blocked the man’s path, asking in a cold voice.

“This is my girlfriend, what’s it to you? Get out of the way!”

Seeing Qin Han Chu blocking his path, the man yelled angrily.

“Trash like you doesn’t deserve such a beauty.”

With that, Qin Han Chu kicked the man away.

This man only had the strength of an eighth-rank cultivator, and Qin Han Chu’s kick directly killed him.

Without the man’s support, the beautiful woman’s body tilted to the side.

Qin Han Chu reached out and supported her, then a force entered her body.

With Qin Han Chu’s help, the beautiful woman gradually regained her senses.

Although she had been dazed before, she knew what had happened.

“Thank you for saving me!” the beautiful woman said gratefully to Qin Han Chu.

“Be careful when you go out.”

After saying this, Qin Han Chu prepared to leave.

“Wait, there is one million in this card, consider it a token of my gratitude.” Seeing Qin Han Chu about to leave, the beautiful woman quickly took out a card and handed it to him.

Qin Han Chu said calmly, “No need, I’m not short of money.”

Before the beautiful woman could say anything, Qin Han Chu had already walked far away.

“What a strange person,” the beautiful woman murmured in confusion.

After a walk, Qin Han Chu finally returned to the bar’s parking lot to drive home.

Back home, Qin Han Chu opened the teleportation array.

He had just arrived at the underground palace of the ruins when Ah Xiang appeared shortly after.

The servants in the underground palace knew that Qin Han Chu and Ah Xiang were going to have some private time, so they all stayed far away.

After an intimate moment, Ah Xiang hugged Qin Han Chu and said, “We have hidden ourselves at the bottom of the sea in the frontline world. Unless it’s a Profound God expert, it will be difficult to detect our presence from the deep sea.”

“That’s good, take this opportunity to strengthen yourself.”

“I am not in any danger in the Great Divine Continent, so you don’t need to worry about me.”

“The Longqi Empire still hasn’t attacked yet.”

“This is a bit strange.”

“They might be preparing for a major battle!”

Qin Han Chu said.

“Just develop your strength discreetly and don’t be too conspicuous,” Ah Xiang reminded him.

Chatting, the two of them fell asleep in a room in the ruins’ underground palace.

After waking up, Qin Han Chu finally returned to the Great Divine Continent.

At the same time, Ah Xiang also returned to her hidden abode in the frontline world.

At Modu First Hospital, Sun Haozhe was roaring in anger.

He could never have imagined that because of his impulsiveness, his father was killed.

As the chairman of the Sun family, a dignified Grandmaster expert, he had died inexplicably.

What he found most unacceptable was that the Sun family had forbidden any investigation into the truth of his father’s death.

Although Sun Haozhe was arrogant, he was still quite intelligent.

The Sun family must have known the cause of his father’s death, otherwise, they wouldn’t have forbidden the investigation.

After Sun Guangyi’s death, Sun Haozhe had also lost his status as the young master.

If his mother were not a peak Grandmaster martial artist, he would have likely been abandoned by the Sun family by now.

Just then, a charming middle-aged woman with a somber expression walked into the ward.

This middle-aged woman was Sun Haozhe’s mother, Sun Guangyi’s wife.

“Mom, how did Dad die? You must know, right?” Sun Haozhe asked angrily, approaching his mother.

The middle-aged woman said expressionlessly, “Don’t ask about this anymore. Even if you knew the truth, what could you do? Can you still avenge your father?”

“I…”

Sun Haozhe was speechless.

He couldn’t even defeat a ninth-rank martial artist, how could he avenge his father?
