"I, I'm not that Chu family remnant, Chu Feng, why am I the unluckiest one?"
Chu Lingtian put on a sorrowful expression and asked.
The burly man driving sneered, "Because we've caught so many people named Chu to interrogate before, and none of them were Chu family remnants. Now the heads of the four great families are on the verge of exploding. You're the last one, so whether you're the person they're looking for or not, they'll vent their anger on you. Whether you can keep your dog life depends on your luck."
Half an hour later.
Chu Lingtian was brought into a basement by four burly men.
The heads of the Lu, Zhao, Qi, and Wei families were in a secret meeting inside.
"Reporting to the family heads, the last person named Chu who recently returned to Da Chang City has been captured."
The leading burly man reported to the four family heads.
Wei Qiang, the head of the Wei family, replied coldly, "Bring him up, we need to interrogate him ourselves!"
Chu Lingtian was immediately brought before the four family heads.
"You don't even kneel when you see us, the heads of the four great families?"
Qi Changsheng, the head of the Qi family, asked with a condescending look, his eyes full of contempt as he questioned Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian smiled faintly and retorted, "Why should I kneel?"
The four burly men who brought Chu Lingtian back were all shocked, as they felt that Chu Lingtian's demeanor had changed. Even the expression on his face no longer held the fear and worry he had before.
"Heh heh, you ignorant fool. Our four great families, Lu, Zhao, Qi, and Wei, have a hand in everything in Da Chang City. We, the heads of these four families, rule over common folk like you. It's only right for you to kneel and kowtow when you see us."
Zhao Li, the head of the Zhao family, reprimanded Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian said solemnly, "A man's knees carry the dignity of a lifetime. They should only kneel for the parents who gave us life. No one else or anything else deserves our kneel!"
"Damn it, you dare to be stubborn! Break his legs for me, I want to see him kneel today!"
Wei Qiang, the head of the Wei family, roared in rage.
*Swish!*
Hearing Wei Qiang's words, one of the burly men launched a fierce sweeping kick at Chu Lingtian's legs, striking them heavily.
*Crack!*
Just as everyone present thought Chu Lingtian would be kicked to his knees and his legs would be broken, in the next second, the one screaming and howling on the ground was the burly man.
"Ah, my leg..."
The burly man who had kicked Chu Lingtian collapsed on the ground, writhing in pain. His right leg was completely twisted and deformed, his bones broken into countless pieces. It was a truly shocking and gruesome sight.
"All three of you, attack together!"
Lu Yuesheng, the head of the Lu family, saw Chu Lingtian standing still and had a bad premonition. He quickly yelled at the remaining three burly men.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
With three muffled explosions, the remaining three burly men who charged at Chu Lingtian instantly fell to the ground. Their bones were broken in countless places, and like their companion, they lay on the ground, screaming and howling, unable to get up.
At this moment, the heads of the four great families were all dumbfounded. They had thought Chu Lingtian was just an ordinary nobody, but they never expected his combat power to be so formidable.
Of course, the most shocked and incredulous were the four burly men who had captured Chu Lingtian. They knew that during the process of capturing him and bringing him back, Chu Lingtian had acted as if he was scared out of his wits.
But now, where was the slightest trace of meekness on Chu Lingtian?
"Who... who exactly are you?"
Lu Yuesheng, the head of the Lu family, asked Chu Lingtian with icy eyes.
"I am the person you've been looking for."
As Chu Lingtian spoke, he put on a ghost mask.
*Boom!*
Seeing this, the heads of the four great families were as shocked as if struck by lightning.
Zhao Li, the head of the Zhao family, was so scared that he fell off his chair.
"You... you really are Chu Feng, the remnant of the Chu family?"
Wei Qiang, the head of the Wei family, asked Chu Lingtian with a trembling voice.
Chu Lingtian grabbed a chair nearby, sat down, lit a cigarette, and placed it in his mouth. He crossed his legs, swept his gaze over the heads of the four great families, and then said:
"I gave you ten days before, saying that after ten days, blood would be repaid with blood. Later, I killed your children, collecting some interest first. As for why I'm here today..."
"You surnamed Chu, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're skilled. I don't believe you have the strength and guts to kill all of us from the four great families. If you really do that, your relatives and friends, and the authorities, will never let you go."
"Moreover, this basement is where we, the heads of the four great families, often hold secret meetings. The surroundings are filled with highly skilled bodyguards. Even if you kill the four of us, you'll never escape alive."
"Whether you are Chu Feng, the remnant of the Chu family, or not, if you dare to step forward to avenge the exterminated Chu family, you will only have a dead end!"
"You refuse the path to heaven and barge into the gates of hell..."
The heads of the four great families tried to threaten Chu Lingtian with their words.
At the same time, Lu Yuesheng, the head of the Lu family, clapped his hands twice, and ten bodyguards in black suits rushed out from other rooms in the basement.
These ten bodyguards in black suits exuded a murderous aura, the kind that only comes from having killed before. Their hands were adorned with brass knuckles, and one punch was enough to shatter bones into dust.
"These ten are the personal secret guards of us, the heads of the four great families. Over the years, they have never lost a fight. Today, I will have them shatter every bone in your body, making you wish you were dead but unable to die, and live like maggots..."
Before Lu Yuesheng could finish his sentence, he trembled all over.
Because Chu Lingtian wasted no words. Facing the ten formidable bodyguards who had truly killed people, he dared to make the first move, kicking one of them in the groin, causing him to fall to the ground instantly and be incapacitated.
The basement once again echoed with intense fighting sounds.
But in less than a minute, the sounds of fighting abruptly ceased.
Chu Lingtian's face and clothes were stained with blood to varying degrees, but it was not his blood; it was the blood of the ten personal secret guards of the four great families.
At this moment, the heads of the Lu, Zhao, Qi, and Wei families were truly terrified out of their wits, because they had never dreamed that Chu Lingtian's skills would be so monstrously powerful.
"It's your turn."
Chu Lingtian glanced at the blood-dripping brass knuckles on his right hand, a sinister smile playing on his lips, and walked towards the heads of the four great families.
