Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 1083 - 682: The Final Compromise_2

Chapter 1083: Chapter 682: The Final Compromise_2

“My time as a mentor is short, and there’s not much I can do to help you, but you may select the most outstanding successor from your progeny for me. In the remaining time I have, I will do my utmost to clear his meridians and lay the foundation for his future cultivation!”

As the white-haired old man’s words fell, Wei Zhengpin’s face lit up with delight, and he immediately bent down deeply to express his gratitude:

“Thank you, Master, for this generosity!”

The white-haired old man before him was one of the only three upper-rank Great Grandmasters in Hua Country. Even though his days were numbered, his experience and wisdom absolutely surpassed that of ordinary Grandmasters. Most importantly, since the old man was at the end of his days, he cared even less about his own Origin Power. It’s well-known that any Great Grandmaster treasures their Origin Power; it is the root of a Grandmaster’s being. Excessive consumption of it can, at the very least, lead to regression in cultivation, and at worst, pose a threat to life. Thus, a typical Great Grandmaster would never squander their Origin Power needlessly.

However, now, the old man before them no longer cared about preserving his Origin Power. To receive his guidance at this juncture, even acquiring just a hint of Origin Power, was an incredibly fortunate event for anyone.

That was the reason for Wei Zhengpin’s joy.

...

Meanwhile, the old man’s gaze suddenly shifted towards the window, his cloudy eyes briefly flashing with a gleam of lucidity before he sighed and said:

“Liu Liu, that girl, is really worrisome. In front of tens of thousands of spectators, how could she dare to join Wang Guangju on stage for a performance!”

Chu Mo merely narrowed his eyes slightly; lacking the impressive vision and vast sensory abilities of the old man, he naturally couldn’t know what exactly was happening inside the stadium through the window. However, from the old man’s few words, Chu Mo guessed that Liu Liu and her classmates must have been invited onstage by the big star Wang Guangju for a joint performance.

A smile couldn’t help but emerge at the bottom of his eyes. A year ago, Wang Guangju had been full of confidence in front of him, even able to dismiss Chu Mo’s presence entirely. Now, Chu Mo believed that if he were to meet Wang Guangju again, the international superstar would likely have a very different expression.

As Chu Mo remained silent, three female office workers beside him gathered close, whispering among themselves. Because they were nearby, Chu Mo could clearly hear their conversation.

It was evident that the long-haired woman closest to Chu Mo seemed somewhat convinced by the words of Chu Mo and his party. She seemed to anticipate seeing Wang Guangju and Ning Zhicheng—the two of the Four Heavenly Kings—appear after the concert ended. However, the short-haired woman sitting in the middle, although no longer as arrogant as before, did not believe Chu Mo’s words. She refrained from rebutting simply because the presence of the people before her was too intimidating.

On the contrary, the woman with shoulder-length hair farthest from Chu Mo, who was the most beautiful with a nearly perfect score of ninety in terms of appearance – exceptional in the eyes of ordinary people and attracting covert glances from many café customers – was quite plain in the eyes of Chu Mo, who had seen goddesses with perfect scores. What drew Chu Mo’s attention was her nearly perfect delicate hands. Her hands were as white as jade, fingers slender and pale, each appearing as if meticulously sculpted from stone, even the veins clearly visible, possibly surpassing even the hands of the most professional hand models.

This woman with the delicate jade hands remained mostly silent throughout. Yet, when the short-haired woman next to her suggested leaving again, she unexpectedly spoke up, siding with the long-haired woman to choose to stay and watch. Clearly, she was also curious about whether Chu Mo and his group could actually bring the two superstar Heavenly Kings to their presence.

Just then, after a bout of emotion, the white-haired old man opposite Chu Mo returned his gaze to Chu Mo. The old man suddenly coughed violently, taking a full minute to regain his composure before slowly speaking:

“Mr. Chu, I know what you are worried about, but I can assure you, my four disciples will definitely not do anything rash. My concern for Liu Liu stems from her youth; once I am gone, she won’t have a single person she trusts by her side. With Mr. Chu beside her, even if you do nothing, she will at least have some comfort in her heart.

Moreover, I trust Mr. Chu’s character, and given your status, you surely wouldn’t covet Liu Liu’s modest fortune!”

After the old man finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Hua Zhenfei at his side. The middle-rank Great Grandmaster with a scar on his face, who also had cultivated four proud disciples, took a deep breath before seriously addressing Chu Mo:

“Mr. Chu, please rest assured, from now on, my Hua family will absolutely follow Miss Liu Liu to the death. If there’s any betrayal, we shall not die a good death!”

With a family fortune of ten trillion and the strength of a mid-tier Great Grandmaster, also the most likely candidate to become a high-tier Great Grandmaster, Hua Zhenyu made the oath. At this moment, the old man opposite him nodded slightly, then he turned his gaze to Xuanyuan Mingyue.

This Grandmaster-level stunning beauty, who was past the age of sixty but still possessed a beautiful visage, was the first to choose submission. She obviously held deep feelings for the old man, so without any hesitation, she spoke directly:

“As long as Mr. Chu promises to mentor our Xuanyuan Fanghua, then the Xuanyuan family will never betray!”

Chu Mo slightly narrowed his eyes; Xuanyuan Fanghua was his next key spokesperson to mentor, so without any hesitation, Chu Mo nodded in agreement.

The next moment, the head of the Wei family, Wei Zhengpin, also spoke solemnly:

“My life was given by my master, naturally, I, Wei Zhengpin, will follow Miss Liu Liu to death. As for the descendants of my Wei family, they will each go their own way.”

After Wei Zhengpin expressed his stance, three of the four great families had already declared their loyalty. At this time, all eyes turned simultaneously to the last one, the head of the Lu family from the Magic Capital, Lu Yuanming.

The Lu family had assets amounting to eight hundred and eighty billion, making them the bona fide number one family in the entire Magic Capital aside from Chu Mo. They could command the wind and summon the rain, and now they were suddenly being asked to submit, which Lu Yuanming truly found difficult to accept. However, the overall situation was already set; three of the four families had chosen submission, and Lu Yuanming could predict that if he did not compromise, based on his understanding of the old man before him, his mentor, out of consideration for his beloved granddaughter, the old man might resort to drastic measures before death, eliminating all potential future threats to Liu Liu.

And the entire Lu family, old and young, would likely be implicated.

Even though Lu Yuanming had the strength of a mid-tier Great Grandmaster and his family also concealed the experts they had nurtured over the years, when a determined high-tier Great Grandmaster sought to erase them at all costs, even he would find it difficult to escape the fate of destruction, let alone the rest of the family. Indeed, no one would be spared.

Therefore, at this moment, Lu Yuanming had no other choice.

Either submit, henceforth align with the young miss of the Liu family, never to resist again, or, the entire Lu family would perish from this moment on.

Under the faint gaze of the old man across from him, deeply felt, Lu Yuanming, with no other option but to compromise, also lowered his head and said:

“From now on, I, Lu Yuanming, will fully support Miss Liu Liu with all my heart. If there’s any betrayal, may the heavens strike me with thunder!”

The heads of the four great families made their oaths of fealty to Liu Liu, who was just about twenty years old this year. From this moment on, Liu Liu’s status would be officially secured.

And at this time, having obtained the assurances he wanted, Chu Mo finally let go of the last bit of concern in his heart. He looked at the old man across from him, his face sincere as he said:

“As long as Liu Liu doesn’t mind, I will take care of her as my own sister. Elder Liu, please be assured.”
