Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1722 - 1774: The Fury of Zhao Second Young Master

Song Zude and Second Master Zhao returned in disgrace. He brushed his teeth four times in a row and still felt nauseous. His gums bled from brushing, but he refused to stop. The thought of the stench from that sewage made his stomach churn, causing him to hug the trash bin and vomit endlessly. But his stomach was already empty, so he could only retch a few times, producing a bit of stomach acid.Song Zude was tossed out by the Li family’s security guards, grabbing him by the arms and legs. After this throw, he sobered up. He didn’t vomit, but sat on the opposite sofa with a conflicted expression, looking at Second Master Zhao.

Song Zude understood one thing: The Li family was still the same Li family. When they became arrogant, they were unreasonable, not taking him, Song Zude, seriously at all, just throwing him into the stinking ditch.

Realizing this made Song Zude a bit defeated, but he soon rekindled his fighting spirit because Second Master Zhao opposite him was already showing a fierce look, cursing the Li family, cursing Li Yifei, vowing to destroy the Li family and to make Li Yifei drink ten pounds of that kind of stinking water.

However, Second Master Zhao wasn’t stupid. While vomiting, he came to understand one thing: This Li family, Li Yifei, was definitely not simple. Otherwise, knowing the Zhao family’s strength and his identity, they still dared to do such a thing, which would be foolish. So, Second Master Zhao grabbed Song Zude and started asking.

At this point, Song Zude couldn’t be as vague and concealing as before, so he told the truth. Zhao Wu listened for a while, then lifted his head with a fierce gaze at Song Zude, making the latter feel like he was being stared at by a wild wolf from the mountains. Song Zude uneasily moved his butt, dodging Zhao Wu’s gaze.

Half an hour later, Second Master Zhao finished listening to Song Zude. He didn’t immediately explode but took out his phone, made a few calls, and confirmed what Song Zude said.

Second Master Zhao put down the phone, and his tone suddenly calmed down. He slightly tilted his head and said to Song Zude: "Old Song, don’t you want to say something to me?"

Zhao Wu, who had been with Second Master Zhao since childhood, knew that the calmer Zhao Zilong became, the more it proved his anger had accumulated to a certain level. Born in a big family, you either become a complete wastrel or are deeply scheming, not usually showing it. But this Second Master Zhao certainly wasn’t foolish. Once he calmed down, Zhao Wu also lowered his head, no longer intimidating Song Zude.

Song Zude’s heart trembled. Poor old man, living half a lifetime, had just taken over the Song family, and he had to experience these consecutive events. Today it seemed blood must be shed, or else Second Master Zhao might directly target him.

Song Zude gritted his teeth and cautiously said: "Second Master, the Song family is willing to offer an additional ten percent of the profit. Today I lost my composure and gave it less thought, which caused Second Master to suffer grievances. This ten percent of the profit should be considered a gesture of apology to Second Master. Additionally, the Song family is willing to spare no effort to help Second Master restore the situation. Whether it’s people or resources, whatever the Song family has, it will provide."

Second Master Zhao’s expression eased slightly. He glanced at Song Zude and said indifferently: "Old Song, as for the apology, I’ll accept it. The Zhao family has always been fair: Rewards for good deeds, punishments for wrongdoings. This penalty, you have to accept."

"Yes, yes, it’s my fault for not considering it thoroughly at the time."

"Hmm, Zhao Wu, go follow up with Old Song to summarize the information. It’s always been the Zhao family bullying others, never the Zhao family being bullied. Today we’ve been bullied; this matter must be settled." Second Master Zhao turned and instructed Zhao Wu.

When Zhao Wu stood up, he rubbed his chest, which still throbbed with pain from being punched by Li Yifei. This was thanks to him practicing martial arts since childhood and having expert guidance; after some simple treatment, he could sit here, otherwise, he’d have reported directly to a hospital.

That Li Yifei was really ruthless, punching him repeatedly... Zhao Wu couldn’t help but clench his teeth when thinking about it. But... after knowing who Li Yifei was, Zhao Wu understood he genuinely couldn’t beat Li Yifei, not even if there were two of him. So, upon standing up, Zhao Wu hesitated before turning back to Second Master Zhao, saying: "Second Master, if what he said is true, then I can’t handle this Li Yifei. We might need Second Elder to step in."

Second Elder, mentioned by Zhao Wu, was the Second Elder of the Zhao family. Although Zhao Wu ranked fifth, there was a significant gap between him and the three above him. A metaphor would be that Zhao Wu was akin to a child, whereas the top two elders of the Zhao family resembled adults, with a substantial difference in level.

Second Master Zhao’s expression changed, eyebrows furrowed, as he looked at Zhao Wu and said: "Is he that formidable?"

"Second Master may not know, if the person Old Song talked about is that Golden Eagle... then perhaps it’s that formidable. If it’s the former Special Forces Golden Eagle, he wouldn’t be worth mentioning; I could handle him easily. But in these years since his discharge, I don’t know what he went through, he’s significantly stronger, already akin to those reclusive old-timers, so I... can’t beat him. It would require Second Elder’s intervention!" Zhao Wu admitted with some embarrassment.

Second Master Zhao’s eyes darted around and he cracked a smile, saying: "Just rumors, Zhao Wu, don’t be so lacking in confidence. You taught me my skills, it’s your strength I’m confident in. According to me, that Li Yifei is probably just that. Today he may have succeeded in a sneak attack; wait until we plan it out, and he’ll be out of options."

Zhao Wu nodded excitedly, saying: "That could be possible, but... in any case, we can’t be careless. I’ll go back and investigate more about this Li Yifei; it might just be hearsay."

Second Master Zhao waved his hand, saying: "Go ahead, I need to rest for a while."

Song Zude had already stood up, ready to leave, but turned when he heard Second Master Zhao call after him, saying: "Later, replace the two older ones with younger ones to my room. Last night’s pair were a bit old, the skin wasn’t good either."

Song Zude paused his body and nodded repeatedly, saying: "I’ll make arrangements right away."

Song Family wasn’t among the top three families in the province anymore. Though they still had money, they lacked people; many talented individuals had already left. Today, he once again fell out with the Li family. If not relying on the Zhao family, Song Family could topple at any moment; thus, Song Zude must cling to Second Master Zhao’s leg.

As the two exited, Second Master Zhao’s facial expressions kept changing as though contemplating something. Soon, as he just smacked his lips, his stomach churned, forcing him to grab the trash bin and vomit.

"Li Yifei, I swear, I’ll kill you, I’ll sleep with all your women, I’ll have them ravaged, I want your Li family ruined and destitute!" The weakened, powerless Second Master Zhao swore to the heavens, shouting.
