Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 613: The Deterrence of Fake Gangjin Martial Artist _1

Chapter 613: Chapter 613: The Deterrence of Fake Gangjin Martial Artist _1

Lin He looked disdainful. "Is this what the offspring of a Big Aristocratic Family looks like?"

With his cheap clothes and a matchmaking business run out of a remote alleyway—what kind of family would do something like that? An oddball, indeed. Therefore, he suspected his Young Master must have been deceived.

In my opinion, we should just kidnap and interrogate him instead of sending me to do an investigation, Lin He thought, somewhat discontented. He, a reputable Bright Strength Martial Artist, was being asked to trail and investigate an ordinary person.

"Who are you planning to kidnap?" An unexpected voice suddenly echoed, startling Lin He.

Unbeknownst to him, a middle-aged man had appeared silently behind him. This was surely a Martial Artist of a higher Realm.

"I..." Lin He tried to explain, but then he saw visible Gang Strength materialize in the man’s hand, and the hair on his scalp instantly stood on end.

Yingzhou City was just a small place; how could a Gangjin Martial Artist possibly appear here? And with such timing, right after he mentioned kidnapping someone!

"So, who sent you? Ever since my Young Master arrived in Yingzhou City, he has never offended anyone."

"He has lived peaceably for so many years, yet you dare to disturb him. You’re quite bold." The middle-aged man coldly gripped Lin He’s throat, Gang Strength swirling around him. If Lin He dared to lie, he would be killed instantly.

At that point, the residual Gang Strength on his body would announce to everyone that a Gangjin Martial Artist had killed him, and then it would be all over.

A Gangjin Martial Artist killing a Bright Strength Martial Artist was ordinarily impossible, unless the Bright Strength Martial Artist initiated the fight—then death would be justified. A Gangjin Martial Artist could ignore firearms. At least in Xing Country, they were figures to be courted, not antagonized. Even the Hidden Aristocratic Family Xun Family, which Lin He served, wouldn’t dare offend a Gangjin Martial Artist. Especially one protecting someone. The person he was protecting must come from an even more terrifying hidden world family, the kind that could annihilate the Xun Family with a single word.

"It was our Young Master, he thought..." Lin He swiftly sold out Xun Yi, revealing everything.

"Hmph. Go back and break that cur’s leg as a lesson. Otherwise, I’ll pay the Xun Family a personal visit in a few days," the middle-aged man scoffed coldly.

"Yes, Senior! I will ensure Senior is satisfied!" Lin He hastily complied.

What? Keep silent and be fine? No way. Lin He was certain he would die. And to uncover the truth, this Gangjin Martial Artist would undoubtedly cause a major disturbance in Yingzhou City; no one would find peace. Besides, he was only a Guest Elder of the Xun Family, not a deathsworn retainer. Why should he throw his life away for a spoiled brat?

"Get out. If you dare disturb my Young Master again, not a single member of the Xun Family will be left alive."

"Killing ordinary people might get me into trouble with Xing Country, but wiping out a Martial Arts Family will, at most, earn me a few reprimands." As he spoke, the middle-aged man radiated a terrifying murderous intent.

The threat turned Lin He’s legs to jelly, rendering him unable to stand.

When he finally regained his senses, the middle-aged man was long gone, leaving Lin He slumped there alone.

Useless, spoiled brat! How could you provoke someone like that? Lin He muttered, his face haggard. He had just walked through the Ghost Gate and barely made it back.

After recovering, he quickly retreated to the Xun Family.

「As a hidden world family, the Xun Family’s Clan residence was a manor on the outskirts, a place ordinary people could never reach.」

Upon his return, he immediately went to see Xun Kun, the current head of the Xun Family and Xun Yi’s father. Xun Kun was a peak Dark Energy Martial Artist who had never managed to break through to the Huajin Realm. As he aged, his vital energy and blood declined, making advancement increasingly impossible.

Lin He relayed everything that had happened, concealing nothing.

Xun Kun’s face turned gloomy. Who could have expected that such a trivial matter would bring such a catastrophe upon his Xun Family?

"Since that Senior said so, go break that rebellious son’s leg. Let him stay quiet for a while," Xun Kun finally decided. After all, it was only a broken leg, no big deal. Xun Yi didn’t practice martial arts. Even if his leg was broken, it could be reattached. Even if it were gone, it wouldn’t matter much; he was just a spoiled brat.

Xun Kun was aware of Xun Yi’s antics but hadn’t cared much. They were a Great Family. What Xun Yi did might seem atrocious to ordinary people, but in their circles, it was merely childish mischief. Unless, like this time, he provoked someone he shouldn’t have. One misstep could lead to the destruction of the entire Clan.

"Yes, Family Head." Lin He’s eyes flickered. He could see it; this old fox planned to make him the scapegoat. After breaking Xun Yi’s leg, he would flee the Xun Family immediately. As long as he left Yingzhou City, the Xun Family’s reach wouldn’t extend to him.

After Lin He left, Xun Kun picked up the expensive teacup from the table and smashed it to the floor.

"This useless fool! Good for nothing but making trouble!" Xun Kun cursed. First, his fiancée was snatched away, and now he’s offended such an entity. This isn’t just about losing face anymore; he almost brought ruin upon the entire Xun Family!

If that Gangjin Martial Artist were to fight his way into the Xun Family, even if their Ancestor emerged, it would be a testament to the Ancestor’s tough constitution if his corpse remained intact after taking a single blow imbued with Gang Strength.

"After Lin He is done, seize that rebellious son," Xun Kun said, pausing briefly before adding, "And bring Lin He’s head as well."

Great Families naturally reared deathsworn retainers, often kidnapped as children and systematically brainwashed into becoming loyal slaves and enforcers.

"Yes!" a deathsworn, a Dark Energy Martial Artist, replied before departing.

In less than five minutes, they dragged Xun Yi in like a dead dog, his right leg broken. In their other hand, they carried Lin He’s severed head, his eyes wide in death.

"Dispose of Lin He’s remains." Xun Kun gave the head a cursory glance, then fixed his gaze on Xun Yi. "Do you realize your mistake?"

"Yes." Xun Yi lowered his head, eyes flashing with resentment.

"Where were you wrong?" Xun Kun asked.

"I shouldn’t have investigated that person," Xun Yi replied.

The words had barely left his mouth when Xun Kun slapped him across the face. "Wrong! You shouldn’t have caused unnecessary trouble!"

"Did that person provoke you?" Xun Kun rebuked.

"No, but he and that poor boy..."

"Did he help Chu Wen?"

"Well... no. I was just trying to take precautions..."

Before Xun Yi could finish, Xun Kun slapped him again.

"You investigated him to ’take precautions’? As a result, his Tao Guardian, a Gangjin Martial Artist, ’took precautions’ and nearly wiped out our entire Xun Family!" Xun Kun said, his voice filled with bitter disappointment.

Xun Yi was stunned. A Gangjin Martial Artist?

Lin He had said some strange things and then, out of nowhere, broke his leg. Then the Clan’s deathsworn arrived, killed Lin He, and brought him to Xun Kun. It was only now that he was beginning to understand the full story.

"Do you understand where you went wrong now?" Xun Kun asked again.

"I understand! After I deal with that poor boy, I’ll personally go and apologize to that person!" Despite being a spoiled brat, Xun Yi understood one thing clearly: he possessed his current status and power not because he was particularly capable, but because he was a scion of the Hidden Aristocratic Family Xun Family. That was why he could act so recklessly. Without the Xun Family, he was nothing.

"Put aside the matter with Chu Wen for now, to avoid any misunderstanding with that person," Xun Kun stated firmly, quelling Xun Yi’s intentions.

"But I can’t swallow this insult! I must..." Xun Yi was still unwilling. It wasn’t about losing a woman; it was that he couldn’t tolerate being cuckolded. He could choose not to want her, but he absolutely couldn’t let someone else snatch her away.

"Enough! It’s just a woman. Whether you can swallow this insult or not, you will!"

"Do you think our Xun Family can stand against a Gangjin Martial Artist? If he so much as utters a word, without him even needing to lift a finger, our Xun Family could be wiped out, left with no place for burial!"

"For a bit of pride, are you planning to send our entire family to their graves?" Xun Kun finally lost his patience. This son of his was truly a fool! How could he be so stupid? He knew he was provoking an existence that could easily annihilate their family, yet he still wouldn’t behave. Was he afraid he wouldn’t die fast enough?

In the end, Xun Yi didn’t dare to argue further. "I understand. I will stay at home and behave."

As for hating Wang Linchi and seeking revenge, he wouldn’t dare. If the power gap weren’t so vast, he might have tried something. But with a Gangjin Martial Artist as Wang Linchi’s Tao Guardian, they weren’t even in the same world. He should be rushing to curry favor with Wang Linchi after apologizing, not plotting revenge.

"Good that you understand. As for that woman, let her go. We’ll find you another. Live your life properly," Xun Kun said, his expression softening.

He was his son, after all. As long as he understood, that was good enough.
