Hunting God Era

Chapter 26 Threat
The Ren family's residence is not located in the city center, but rather in a large mansion near the northern suburbs. There are no other houses around, only this one mansion, which occupies almost half a street.

In the center of the lobby, an elderly man dressed in a Tang suit sat on a wide chair in front of him, holding a cane with both hands. Although he looked old, he sat upright and had an imposing presence that made the people sitting on his left and right lower their heads. Upon closer inspection, his legs were trembling slightly.

"what!"

"what!!"

"Grandpa, I was wrong!!"

At noon, Ren Xu, who had been so arrogant, was now hanging up and being whipped.

The whip seemed to be specially made, with spikes on it. The person wielding it had great strength, and each lash left an afterimage, making Ren Xu spin like a top.

"Wrong? You know you're wrong?"

The old man sneered, "You know you've been discovered, so what's wrong with that? There's no absolute right or wrong in doing things, only doing them well or poorly! Look at the lousy methods you used!"

He looked at the middle-aged man wielding the whip, "You've taught your son well! A magic weapon worth ten million, you think you can buy it for four million? If you can't buy it, you resort to force? Is my Ren family that short of money?"

Snapped! !

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man swung his whip even faster.

The old man continued, "I don't know where you got the guts to act so recklessly. You usually seem so clever and quick-witted, how could you be so foolish in this matter? Do you think you're the only one with a family background and connections? Don't the other side have any? That's a 'disinfecting squad'!"

Like an old lion, the old man roared, "Even if you don't respect me, you must show me respect on the surface! That's the rule, understand?"

"It's Grandpa, I know I was wrong, I'll reflect on it."

Ren Xu was so weak from being sucked that he could barely breathe, and blood dripped from his body like water, forming a pool of blood below.

The old man waved his hand, and the middle-aged man stopped. He looked at Ren Xu with a hint of heartache in his eyes, but he didn't dare to do anything more.

"Of course, we're not afraid of trouble. We'll admit our mistakes and be punished. If we're not wrong, no one can come after us. At most, you just asked one question and they said they wouldn't sell. That's all. In the future, be more humble. There's always someone better."

The old man sighed helplessly, "Don't blame your grandfather for being heartless. If I don't teach you properly, you'll make a big mistake later, and then it will be too late. That's it. Take you back to rest. Go abroad to study during the summer vacation. Don't stay in the country."

"dad"

These words finally made the middle-aged man unable to hold back, "Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a middle-aged man who looked seven parts like the old man approached quickly. "Dad, Sun Shun from the disinfection bureau is here."

The old man paused, his gaze towards Ren Xu growing even colder. "They've come knocking on our door. Is this making a mountain out of a molehill? Let them see how we've made our stance clear and invited them over."

The man nodded, went out again, and soon returned with Sun Shun.

"Section Chief Sun."

The old man smiled and shakily tried to get up. "You didn't even tell us you were coming so we could have a welcoming ceremony. Otherwise, it would seem inconsiderate."

"Mr. Ren, don't be so polite. You are a senior."

Sun Shun quickly approached and pressed down on the old man's hand, stopping him from getting up. Then he glanced around and focused his gaze on Ren Xu, who was hanging in the side, covered in blood.

"This is.?"

“The younger generation in the family did something wrong, and we are teaching them manners.”

The old man chuckled, "You know, the bigger the family, the more important it is to follow the rules. I'll teach them as much as I can while I'm still alive, otherwise, once I'm gone, there will be no one to care for them." "Yes, the bigger the family, the more important it is to follow the rules. As the old saying goes, a large family can't be killed from the outside; it can only be slowly worn down by internal problems. Teaching rules is a good thing."

Sun Shun smiled and said something that was rather meaningful: "But Grandpa Ren, your energy and spirit are much better than mine. You're sure to live a long life!"

"Then I'll take Chief Sun's good wishes!"

The old man gave a forced smile, then laughed twice in a seemingly hearty manner, before turning to the others and saying, "No manners at all, serving tea to guests?"

"Section Chief Sun, please take a seat."

"No, no, no, I just came to deliver something and say a few words. There's no need to go to so much trouble."

Sun Shun waved his hand repeatedly, then took out a long black cloth bag from his pocket. When he opened it, a test tube was revealed, which contained a black liquid that looked like sesame paste. If you looked closely, you could see moving granules and black threads.

"This was given to us by our Director Pan. I don't know what it is, but he said it must be delivered to you."

Sun Shun placed the test tube on the table and said with a smile, "There are two more things to say. Director Pan misses the 'contributions' that Old Master Ren made to Ningjiang when he was young. When he came, he told me that he wanted to move up a position so that Old Master Ren could become the director of the disinfection bureau."

He emphasized the word "contribution" very heavily.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically, while the old man remained all smiles, as if he had truly heard some praise, and laughed:

"Director Pan is taking this too seriously. What have I done to deserve this? I'm struggling to even eat now, and I can only keep going with the help of some external medicine. But if there's any need, not only me, but my whole family will be there. Please rest assured, Director Pan."

"It's good that the old man has this spirit; Director Pan will definitely understand. Alright, I won't disturb you any longer while you're teaching the family rules."

He emphasized his last few words, and then turned and left.

"correct."

But when they reached the lobby entrance, Sun Shun turned around and said with a smile, "The inspections have been very strict lately. If there's anything irregular, you'll have to rectify it promptly. It's all to cooperate with the work."

With that, he strode away without pausing.

boom!
A loud bang echoed through the hall as soon as Sun Shun's figure disappeared.

The chair the old man was sitting in and the coffee table next to him suddenly shattered, the broken pieces of wood like spears, piercing into the surrounding pillars and floor, deeply embedded.

The old man stood up, his eyes shining, his hair and beard moving, showing no trace of his previous frail and old appearance.

He reached out, caught the test tube falling from the sky, glanced at it, and sneered, "Trying to fool me with this? Pan Zhengyang's methods aren't very clever either."

"Dad, what's this?"

"The little devils of the Locust God Cult, humph, did you see the warning or the frame-up? They come here to threaten you under some pretext. If they don't restrain themselves, they'll cause a big disaster sooner or later."

The old man casually flicked his wrist, and the test tube, along with the contents inside, suddenly melted, stained with a smear of blood, and fell to the ground as a drop of blood.

"Unfortunately, this little thing can't force me to do anything."

He shook his head and smiled, picked up his cane again, and became a normal old man, walking slowly but briskly to the back. "That's it, let them investigate. We'll accept whatever losses we incur."

"There's no need to stop things in the county. I have my own ways. Sun Shun is right. Large families can't be killed from the outside. As long as nothing goes wrong internally, Ningjiang will eventually belong to the Ren family!"
