Chapter 1236: Mutual Completion
Old man Jiang died, and died with a bad reputation.
This was also left to Lei Zhen, otherwise with his ability he would definitely be able to break out of the siege.
But this former dragon slayer would not do that, because once he did, the Jiang family would be utterly slaughtered, so he had to give the other party some dignity, which was also a mutual fulfillment.
"When Patriarch Jiang defeated the Zhu family, did the previous patriarch also die in this way?"
"Yes, that's how he died."
Lei Zhen asked and answered himself, then walked downstairs holding his pipe.
He squatted in front of Old Man Jiang's body, put the pipe into his hand, and straightened his clothes.
"A good burial."
"yes!"
“…”
No one knew how Lei Zhen felt at the moment. He didn't feel the joy of a winner at all, but rather a bit heavy.
He didn't want to kill Old Man Jiang and kept giving him opportunities, but how could he possibly take such an opportunity? A born dragon slayer can die, but he can't bow to the next dragon slayer.
Perhaps they never thought of killing Lei Zhen, and forcing him out is the best option.
After all, the world outside is big, and the world here is small, so small that it can't accommodate two people. Maybe if Lei Zhen doesn't come back, this matter will end like this.
But this is impossible, so in the end one person will die.
“Are famous families really that powerful?”
Lei Zhen narrowed his eyes, murderous intent flashing in his pupils.
This time, no one allowed him to sleep with the wives and daughters of the upper class, but the emotion was much greater than before Gawain's death.
He didn't believe that the upper class would always be the upper class, and he didn't believe that the upper class could control him. Since he had already slayed the dragon layer by layer, he would continue to slay upwards!
…
In the conference hall, Lei Zhen sat in the main seat.
Below were hundreds of clan leaders, each with a variety of complex expressions on their faces.
Especially those who chose to betray were terrified at this time, and were extremely afraid that this gentleman would take revenge on them later.
"Everyone, let's write off the past—" Lei Zhen said in a deep voice, "From today on, the family faction will sweep away its doom and embark on a brand new development model."
"Clear all", these four words have never sounded so familiar.
Let the rebellious clan leaders feel hope and pray that as long as the master does not settle the accounts with them, anything will be fine.
After all, this gentleman's methods are still fresh in our memory. Although destroying a family is a common occurrence for them, no one can withstand the dimensionality-reduction-style attack of destroying a family.
First it was the Guo family, then the Sun family.
Next up is the Jiang family, no one can escape.
"No one is allowed to cause trouble to the Jiang family under any pretext. Everything that happened before ended with the death of Patriarch Jiang." Lei Zhen continued, "I will personally fund the repair of each family's damaged ancestral tombs."
No one spoke and the venue was silent.
It’s not that the clan leaders are dissatisfied, but they dare not speak.
In the past, he was the new emperor, and now he is the real emperor. The era of hereditary rule in this world has begun.
"Okay, that's all for today."
After briefly explaining the two things, Lei Zhen stood up and left.
Everyone has left, but the venue is still quiet. Everyone seems to be waiting for something, but they don’t know what they are waiting for. Everyone’s mood is different.
The faces of the chiefs in the east were pale, they didn't know what kind of consequences they would face next; the eyes of the chiefs who had betrayed the country were still filled with fear, not knowing when they would be punished.
The four words "wipe out" only gave them a temporary relief.
But as Lei Zhen left, the invisible pressure made them feel even more uncomfortable, just like the calm before the storm, and everyone knew what would happen next.
"My fellow clan leaders, my promise is as good as gold." Xiang Zhenhai said loudly, "So don't overthink it, you can leave now."
A promise worth a thousand gold?
Is it true?
I don’t know, but since Chief Xiang said that they could leave, hundreds of chiefs hurriedly left the venue.
Perhaps this was the sentence they were waiting for, because Lei Zhen didn't say they could leave, so they still sat in their original seats.
…
Small courtyard.
Lei Zhen sat in the room, holding a cigarette in his left hand and a cell phone in his right hand.
He didn't even smoke a single puff of the cigarette, and his body was covered with ash. He was thinking about how to make the call.
"hiss--"
The cigarette butt burned his hand, and the stinging pain made him gasp.
Throwing away the cigarette butt, Lei Zhen dialed the number.
"Yao Yu, I'm Lei Zhen."
"gentlemen……"
"Call me husband."
"husband."
"Be good, hehe."
This call was made to Yao Yu, so I thought about it for a long time.
If he had been like that before, he would have definitely married Yao Yu home in style, not for anything else, but because Yao Ziran sacrificed her life in exchange for a clean life for him in the future.
"My father is dead?"
"Um?!"
Lei Zhen was stunned, and then thought of a lot of things.
"Hubby, don't blame yourself. This is my father's choice." Yao Yu whispered on the phone, "He wants you to owe him a favor. That way, you will always be good to me, and then Qianmen and Qimen Sect will have a brand new future."
Yao Ziran had already made arrangements and told his daughter everything in advance.
He had to die, and only after death could he get back many things, whether it was for his own family or for the entire Qianmen, and even the Qimen Sect.
"Very good, your father..."
"He was worried about not being able to accomplish anything, so he wanted to die. He really wanted the Qimen Sect to hold their heads high and live like human beings, rather than always bending over like dogs. Husband, my father is very selfish, I hope you can understand."
"Wife, I can't marry you openly, but you can rest assured that after I marry Xiang Yuwei, I will definitely bring you home."
"No, this is fine..."
After finishing the call, Lei Zhen rubbed his face and gave a wry smile.
He finally understood why people feel lonely at the top and why they can't stop, because everyone around them is pushing him forward.
Yao Ziran sacrificed himself just for this favor, how could Lei Zhen refuse?
Got to give it!
Because someone gave their daughter to me, it was equivalent to giving Qianmen to me as well. It was all for a better future, so I couldn't refuse.
But this was not forced, it was paid for with one's life.
"How does it feel?"
The door was pushed open and Yuan Sancai walked in.
“Normally, not as happy as I imagined.”
To be honest, Lei Zhen was not as happy as he had imagined. Instead, he felt heavy.
"Since I hold this position, I have more responsibilities, so even if I win, I may not necessarily win." Yuan Sancai said with emotion: "With great ability comes great responsibility."
This is a sentence that many people know, but many people do not understand its meaning at all.
When you have limited abilities, you can choose to shoulder responsibilities, but when you have greater abilities, you have no choice and must shoulder responsibilities.
What can't be pushed away can't be avoided either.
"By the way, what are you going to do with these families?" Yuan Sancai asked.
"I don't want to deal with it for now." Lei Zhen shook his head.
"That's not your style, is it?"
“What’s my style?”
"Old bitch... I understand. You must deal with it. Because this is your era, the methods you use will definitely be insidious and disgusting."
I understand. Yuan Sancai finally truly understands Lei Zhen.
It is impossible not to deal with these families, but now is not the time to deal with them.
Once the process begins, no one can escape, because... many people owe money and don't pay it back!
