"Do you know Bing Wu?" Su Chen asked, glancing at Bing Nan beside him: "He's Bing Wu's younger brother..."
"Bing Wu? Bing Nan? Qiyuan Family?" Bing Heng thought for a moment, somewhat uncertainly. To Bing Heng, both Bing Wu and Bing Nan were insignificant ants, so being aware of them was already surprising.
"Bing Lin is planning to take a concubine recently," Su Chen continued.
Bing Heng's eyes suddenly brightened: "I've remembered, yes! Bing Lin is taking a concubine, and the concubine is Bing Wu!"
Bing Heng finally understood: "Brother Su came here because of Bing Wu?"
"Bing Wu is my woman," Su Chen said calmly. Saying so naturally had its reasons. After all, he was an outsider and needed a proper excuse to intervene in Bing Wu's affairs. If Bing Wu was his woman, he had a sufficient reason for it; whatever he did was justified.
"I see!" Bing Heng was excited. If this were true, then Su Chen and Bing Lin would definitely be sworn enemies!
No wonder there's a partnership?
No wonder they're targeting Bing Lin.
Bing Heng was excited.
Truly excited.
Judging by the strength Su Chen had displayed, he was certain, it was absolutely stronger than Bing Lin.
"You have a grudge against Bing Lin. You dream of surpassing him, teaching him a lesson. Am I right?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Right!" Bing Heng nodded vigorously: "Our cooperation would definitely be perfect. Alone, I've fought Bing Lin for so many years, but I haven't been able to defeat him. The biggest reason is my own lack of strength. Because the overall strength of the Twin Radiance Family and the Yihe Family isn't too different, in our struggle, neither Bing Lin nor I would use our family's power. Because even if we did, it would be futile, only neutralizing each other. We had to rely on ourselves, and my strength indeed wasn't as good as Bing Lin's. If we cooperate, my Twin Radiance Family will help you neutralize the pressure and danger brought by the Yihe Family. Meanwhile, you will help me deal with Bing Lin. Together, Bing Lin would definitely be no match. Perfect!!! Truly perfect!"
Su Chen nodded.
The fundamental reason he sought cooperation with Bing Heng was indeed mutual benefit.
He would help Bing Heng defeat Bing Lin once. Bing Heng would use the Twin Radiance Family behind him to fend off those old monsters from the Yihe Family.
A win-win situation.
However.
"Is the overall strength of the Twin Radiance Family and the Yihe Family really comparable?" Su Chen suddenly asked. If he remembered correctly, Bing Nan had mentioned that in the Bingzhen Clan, the difference between one, two, three, four, ... eight was very significant.
"Brother Su, the overall strength of the Twin Radiance Family, considering their hidden power, albeit slightly less, compares closely with the Yihe Family. The gap isn't big," Bing Heng's expression turned serious, speaking earnestly. Then, he looked at Bing Nan: "Bing Nan, you explain..."
"Yes." Bing Nan quickly replied: "The difference between one, two, three, four, ... and eight is indeed significant. But the Twin Radiance Family and the Yihe Family are exceptions. Because the current head of the Twin Radiance Family is an extraordinary and terrifying figure. His existence alone makes the Twin Radiance Family not lag far behind the Yihe Family."
"My father can be counted as the strongest in the Bingzhen Clan, apart from some hidden old monsters," Bing Heng continued, speaking with admiration: "Thanks to my father's existence, he almost leveled the gap between the two families. In fact, for a millennium, had it not been for Bing Lin's sudden rise overshadowing me, my Twin Radiance Family would have had the qualification to replace the Yihe Family."
"That's good," Su Chen rested easier.
"Brother Su, how exactly is this cooperation you've talked about?" Bing Heng couldn't wait any longer, his breath was almost rapid.
"Does Bing Lin have something particularly important to him?" Su Chen was already confident, and had a plan.
"Something particularly important to him?" Bing Heng's eyes brightened further, and soon he said: "Shops!!! The shops on Fire Sparrow Street! Fire Sparrow Street is the most prosperous street in the Bingzhen Clan, the commercial hub! All our families have businesses on Fire Sparrow Street, and the income from these businesses is our family's main revenue. Both Bing Lin and I, as the next generation's family successors, have already gradually established our own industries."
"Continue," Su Chen patiently listened.
"The Yihe Family places significant importance on Bing Lin. Over the years, they've entrusted several crucial shops to Bing Lin. These crucial shops relate to Bing Lin's martial cultivation resources and his standing in the family's upper echelons."
"Good." Su Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's start from those shops that are extremely important to Bing Lin."
"How do we start?" Bing Heng grew more excited. Honestly, although he and Bing Lin have been arch-rivals for years, they've never actually targeted each other's shops, because doing so would mean undying determination; it could lead to defeat, and the consequences would be too severe, too risky to attempt.
But deep inside, he had always yearned to try once.
Now, the opportunity has arrived.
"You go first and deliver a message to the Yihe Family. Tell Bing Lin that Bing Wu is my woman. If he's sensible, he shouldn't put his attention on Bing Wu anymore. Moreover, ask him to go to the Qiyuan Family and apologize to Bing Wu." Su Chen's fingers tapped on the table as he said calmly.
He spoke casually while Bing Heng's mouth twitched, and Bing Nan held his breath entirely.
Both were shocked by Su Chen!
So arrogant!!!
Just delivering a message like this?
Direct confrontation?
No thought for gradual and subtle methods?
Simply an overbearing head-on clash?
In fact, if problems could be solved by other means, Su Chen wouldn't be so direct. The main reason is that being direct saves time, simplifies things.
Moreover, no matter how gradual or moderated, eventually, in Su Chen's view, it would lead to direct confrontation.
Better to get straight to the point.
Taking a deep breath, Bing Heng spoke: "Bing Lin certainly won't agree. He is the publicly recognized first prince of the Bingzhen Clan and the most formidable young generation. If he does as Brother Su suggested, where would his dignity go? How could he succeed the head of the Yihe Family?"
The young clan master of the Yihe Family, apologizing to someone from the Qiyuan Family, this... this... that's simply wishful thinking!
"Therefore, convey another message to him. If he disagrees, then I will smash his shops. Until he agrees." Su Chen's smile turned three degrees harsher.
Bing Heng's face twitched fiercely.
Extreme!!!
Just hearing what Su Chen said made his whole body boil with excitement.
What a madman!
If he disagrees, then smash Bing Lin's shops? Awesome! Absolutely amazing! This kind of thing, Bing Heng had dreamed of it before...
Is there a chance to experience it firsthand?
