Chapter 600 He Is A True Man
Targeting the foremost family without a proper explanation could lead to the immediate stripping of their War God titles.
"Are you guys out of your minds? This is my personal matter, and it has nothing to do with you."
Chen Yang did not want these four individuals to risk their futures for his affairs.
He indeed held a deep-seated hatred for the Zhou family.
However, Chen Yang had never intended for his revenge to jeopardize the careers of these people.
Dong Cang's eyes were half-open, and he spoke in a voice only Chen Yang could hear, "This decision wasn't made by just the four of us."
"We can help you while hiding our identities."
"The Zhou family doesn't just have one or two peak Grandmasters. Brother Chen, do you really think you can handle them alone or with just the Heavenly Doctor Hall?"
At this point, Chen Yang finally understood.
"Alright, I'll remember this kindness, Chen Yang."
Since Dong Cang had said as much, Chen Yang did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
As for Lili and the restaurant owner who were captured by the Zhou family, the five of them did not find them.
Outside on the grass, Zhou Lihou and his son Zhou Yuanwei were drenched in cold sweat.
"Dad, do you think they'll find them?" Zhou Yuanwei's voice trembled. Although he didn't know how strong the Four War Gods were, he had heard of their reputations. If their family's elder knew, he would never let the two of them off.
Zhou Lihou slapped Zhou Yuanwei directly on the head: "Shut up! They are all martial artists!"
Unlike his son, Zhou Lihou had seen many martial artists.
He had even witnessed the power of a peak Grandmaster serving as a family guardian, and some powerful martial artists could hear sounds from afar.
He wasn't sure if the Four War Gods had reached that level, but if they had overheard them, wouldn't that be courting death?
A hint of ruthlessness flickered in Zhou Lihou's eyes. The situation had escalated to this point, and it was inextricably linked to his incompetent son.
He had to find a way to exonerate his son before the matter was resolved.
As he thought about it, Zhou Lihou's gaze fell upon Zhao Jiamo.
At this moment, Zhao Jiamo was still worried that the Twenty-Eight Constellations might come to interrogate him and had not noticed Zhou Lihou's gaze at all.
After Chen Yang and the others had finished their discussion inside, they slowly walked out.
With their strength as peak Grandmasters, if there were people hidden there, it would be impossible for them to not detect them.
After much thought, there was only one possibility: the people were not being held captive there.
Zhou Lihou dared not offend these individuals. After exchanging a few perfunctory words, he let them leave.
Zhou Yuanwei glared at Chen Ying's retreating back with resentment and said, "Dad, why didn't you keep Chen Yang behind? If it weren't for this guy, why would I be wearing false teeth now!"
Zhou Lihou thought he would finally be able to relax after everyone had left, but upon hearing his son's words, his anger flared up instantly.
After everyone was far away, he kicked Zhou Yuanwei to the ground: "Do you even have a brain?"
"That Chen Yang can deal with so many Da Zhou Tian martial artists by himself. Do you really think he's just an ordinary person?"
"Have you ever seen an ordinary person who can chat and laugh with four War Gods?"
"Any one of the Four War Gods going to the Zhou family would be treated as an honored guest!"
"You've angered all four of them at once. Do you really think your grandfather will be lenient?"
"Have you forgotten how your cousin died?"
Zhou Yuanwei immediately sobered up. The gruesome death of his cousin was still deeply etched in his mind.
Although many people said that his cousin had been torn apart by wild beasts, the disciples of the Zhou family all understood that it was entirely because his cousin had committed an unforgivable mistake that brought trouble to the Zhou family, and it was the elder who had personally given the order!
"Dad! I don't want to die, save me!" Zhou Yuanwei cried pitifully, clutching his father's leg.
Zhou Lihou took a deep breath. If this were not his own son, he would have really just washed his hands of the matter.
"Alright, stop embarrassing me on the ground. I'll handle this matter. You focus on your team; you must win the championship this year!"
After everyone had left, Zhou Lihou finally dialed a phone number he was reluctant to call.
"Yuanwei has caused some trouble. Help him out this once."
"You idiot! Are you trying to get Yuanwei killed!"
...
Chen Yang, who had left the Zhou family's stronghold, did not return but went to a humble eatery with the Four War Gods.
"Eat to your heart's content. This meal is on me today."
Chen Yang's generous declaration made the War Gods smile wryly.
Even if they ordered every dish in the restaurant, it wouldn't amount to a fraction of what Bei Xuan had spent last time.
Seeing their expressions, Chen Yang immediately rolled his eyes. "Don't all look at me like that. I'm just a security supervisor now, not like I have tons of money to treat you to a feast."
The restaurant owner's wife, overhearing this, immediately said with a smile, "Don't worry, gentlemen. My husband trained in a starred restaurant, and his skills are excellent. You'll know once you try."
The War Gods naturally did not flip the table and leave. When it came to food, they were not picky eaters. They had eaten the most unpalatable things while on missions.
After casually ordering a few dishes and some wine, Bei Xuan sighed, "What I'm worried about now is that they will try to kill those two within these few hours."
"The restaurant owner saved me once back then. If he really dies because of this, I..."
Nan Zhu reached out and gently patted Bei Xuan's shoulder, but he couldn't offer any comforting words, as it was a human life.
Chen Yang, listening to this, said expressionlessly, "That waitress is called Lili. Her boyfriend is Shi He from the Seven Seas team. He played against our team once."
"The Zhou family broke one of his legs. He didn't go to the hospital for treatment immediately but came to me with his leg still injured."
The others were stunned. They had not expected such a story to be involved.
Xi Bai slapped the table with a trembling hand and gritted out two words through clenched teeth: "Scoundrels!"
Crippling a player's leg would be more unbearable than killing him.
Dong Cang couldn't help but say, "That Shi He is a true man."
When they were at the Zhou family's stronghold, they hadn't come up with any good solutions. Even if they were to conduct a thorough investigation of the Zhou family's businesses in Modu, it would take at least two days.
The fastest method was to wait.
No matter what moves the Zhou family made, as long as they acted, they would reveal their tracks.
That would be the time to rescue them!
As expected, around dusk, Bei Xuan received news from his informant.
"Zhao Jiamo, Zhou Yuanwei's bodyguard, has left the Zhou family stronghold! He's alone!"
Chen Yang and the other three immediately perked up. The Zhou family finally couldn't sit still anymore!
