"Young friend, let's stop here." A voice came from that moment.
Wang Zheng turned his head and saw his father and an old man walk in at the same time.
The old man spoke again: "Duan Zhengkai is the only son of the Duan family. Now that the mastermind has been eliminated, I hope you will show mercy and spare his life."
Although Wang Zheng was very dissatisfied and disdainful of the old man's words, he hesitated when he saw that his father did not object. So he turned his gaze to Wang Shengrong.
Wang Shengrong casually picked his nose.
"I told you before, you can do whatever you want without any worries."
Duan Zhengkai naturally saw the two of them come in. Although he really wanted to ask the old man to help him kill Wang Zheng, he was just arrogant and not really stupid.
Although he didn't know Wang Shengrong, he had seen Wang Shengrong's information when he was checking Wang Zheng's background, although it showed that he was just an ordinary retired soldier.
However, seeing the old man and Wang Shengrong standing side by side, and the old man talking to Wang Zheng in a consultative tone, he naturally understood that Wang Shengrong was definitely not as simple as he had previously investigated.
Thinking to himself that he shouldn't speak casually for the time being, lest he provoke an overreaction from Wang Zheng.
Seeing Wang Zheng's gaze gradually turn cold, the old man quickly spoke up: "Duan Zhengkai's parents are both A-level Awakeners. His mother, like Duan Zhengkai, follows the summoning path and has a large group of exotic beasts under her command, whose combat power is quite considerable."
If you kill his son now, they will definitely seek revenge on you later. Do you think you can hide from your parents forever?
Even if you can tolerate it and avoid it.
But your father's health is depleting with every battle; are you really willing to put your parents in danger?"
Wang Shengrong quickly interrupted him, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm perfectly healthy. Xiao Zheng, don't believe what he says. Do whatever you want. Don't put any extra pressure on yourself. Dad supports you!"
Wang Zheng thought it over carefully. The old man's words didn't seem to be false. After all, judging from the relationship between the old man and his father, Duan Zhengkai's father must have known about his family's strength. Also, the way his father hurriedly defended himself at the end was very suspicious.
If what the old man says is true, and my father's current physical condition prevents him from fighting, then we should spare his life for now.
Moreover, the old man just mentioned that his mother also raised a large number of exotic beasts using the summoning technique. Why not collect some spiritual energy crystals first, and then deal with it later when he becomes stronger? If all else fails, he can just slaughter the whole family when he becomes powerful enough.
Seeing Duan Zhengkai with his head down, not daring to look at him, and remaining silent even after having a powerful backer, Wang Zheng increasingly felt that this man was a talented individual who could bend and stretch, and would definitely be a threat in the future. It seemed that he would have to find an opportunity to get rid of him later.
"I can let him go, but I have one condition."
"What are your conditions? Tell me."
The old man breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they could talk. After all, Duan Zhengkai's mother had paid him to take care of her son. If he were killed right under his nose, that crazy woman would definitely hate him.
He himself didn't believe that he could be protected by force; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to leave this room.
Thinking to himself that he was just an awakened medical student, he would be fine if it were just Wang Zheng alone, but now Wang Shengrong was right next to him. At such close range, if Wang Shengrong really wanted to attack him, he definitely wouldn't last 30 seconds. It would be best to resolve things peacefully.
"Ten spirit crystals." Wang Zheng didn't even blink.
"Alright, I agree on behalf of the Duan family. Even if you two young people became friends after a fight, it's understandable that Xiao Kai would apologize with ten spirit crystals for offending you," the old man replied with a smile.
Wang Zheng: ? ? ?
Whenever I type a question mark, it's not because I have a problem, but because I think you have a problem!
Wang Zheng was stunned. Damn it, he lost out! Was he really that rich? Ten spirit crystals and he didn't even haggle over the price.
"And what about my classmate's injury?"
"No problem, I can cure him right now."
With a wave of his hand, the old man conjured two vines from the ground. The leaves on the vines were lush and green, growing larger and larger until they gradually wrapped around Curly Hair. The other vine wrapped around Wang Zheng, but only wrapped around his torso and arms, not nearly as tightly as the one around Curly Hair.
"That's enough. It will wither naturally in ten minutes, and then all your injuries will be transferred to this vine."
Although Wang Zheng was amazed by the wonder of this superpower, he still asked, "Finally, I would like to ask how Li Weiwei awakened? As far as I know, it's not time for her to be injected with the spiritual energy gene serum yet, and her talent shouldn't be very good."
"It was Duan Zhengkai who helped her switch to a higher-grade awakening potion, the kind with a higher concentration of spiritual energy," the old man answered fluently.
"Then I need one of the same potions to compensate my classmate."
“Okay, I will send it to you along with the spiritual energy crystal. Wang Zheng, I, Pang Xixiao, owe you a favor. If you encounter any trouble in the capital in the future, you can come to me.”
Spiritual crystals and high-level awakening potions were minor matters to Pang Xixiao. As long as Duan Zhengkai was safe, the matter would be perfectly resolved.
After all, Li Weiwei was just someone Duan Zhengkai had only known for a few days since Duan Zhengkai died. She was an insignificant nobody, so who would care?
With the Duan family's power and influence, are Wang Shengrong and Li Liang anyone to be trifled with?
So as long as Wang Zheng and Duan Zhengkai don't get into trouble, it's just a conflict between the younger generation, and they'll be allowed to resolve it themselves. Their parents won't break ties and get involved directly. That's the rule of the game in the Spiritual Era.
Soon, the vines that had grown earlier withered and were blown away by the wind, turning into dust and dissipating into the air.
Looking at Wang Zheng and Curly, their injuries had completely healed. Except for Curly, who was still pale and not fully conscious, they were no different from ordinary people.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Wang Shengrong casually waved to Pang Xixiao, then had Wang Zheng pick up Curly and head towards the door. Reaching the door, he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back, saying:
"Since Wang Zheng has made a decision about today's matter, and you, Lao Pang, have also approved the solution, then let's leave it at that."
If Yu Yanan is dissatisfied, she can come directly to me. But if there's any further retaliation against Wang Zheng, then... hmph!
After saying that, he snorted coldly and walked straight out the door.
After Wang Shengrong and the others left, Pang Xixiao began to treat Duan Zhengkai's injuries. Only then did Duan Zhengkai ask, "Grandpa Pang, was Wang Shengrong very strong? I checked the information before, and he seemed to be just an ordinary person who hadn't awakened his powers. Even you weren't his match?"
Pang Xixiao said helplessly, "He has indeed not awakened, but he is not an ordinary person. If he really wants to risk his life, not to mention me, even if your parents and I were together, we would only have to pay with our lives for him."
I think his son is no ordinary person either; he may have inherited his strength. I advise you not to provoke him again. It's not worth risking your life for such a scoundrel.
Duan Zhengkai nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more.
