Su Chen, though frustrated, had no solution; he couldn't prove anything! He could explain that his earlier visit to the office wasn't what everyone thought—that they had merely chatted. But it always felt awkward, and even seemed to worsen things! They might even think he was intentionally hiding something.

Su Chen was depressed as he looked at the gossiping women, wishing he could execute them on the spot, make them beg for mercy, and show them how utterly wrong their assumptions were! Of course, it was just a thought.

Even as he drove home after work, Su Chen felt annoyed. After all, no man suspected of inadequacy could easily brush it off! However, as soon as he returned to Grand Epoch Court, Su Chen's annoyance vanished. Now, Lin Ruoxue's villa wasn't just a residence, but a home! Thinking of this, and that it was only him, Wang Ma, and three people in the house, Su Chen felt a warmth in his heart.

"Wang Ma!"

As soon as Su Chen opened the door, he called out habitually. After waiting two seconds without a reply, Su Chen felt something was off, as Wang Ma usually responded immediately. Moreover, it was early winter, and it became dark early; the house was already dim. Usually, Wang Ma would have turned on the lights, but today, she hadn't.

All these details instantly put Su Chen on alert. He didn't turn on the lights either, but silently surveyed the house. By now, he had reached the Seventh Layer of Qi Refinement and his senses had sharpened, so the dim light didn't hinder him. After checking, Su Chen noticed clear signs that someone had been there. Ordinary people might not notice, but he could!

"Since you've come, why hide? Come out!" Su Chen said sternly, looking towards the staircase.

"Clap clap clap!"

A round of applause sounded, followed by several people emerging from behind the staircase. "Your perception is commendable!" the leader praised. He thought they had cleaned up the traces well enough, and after Su Chen entered, they immediately held their breath. They had intended to ambush him, but Su Chen quickly detected their presence, startling the leader!

"It's not that my perception is good; it's that you did a poor job cleaning up your traces," Su Chen retorted, annoyed that the Wu Family's people had come again, as bothersome as flies! But this time, there was a new addition, a person in a purple robe, seemingly of a slightly higher rank. Su Chen also noted that the man was at the Fifth Layer Realm of Qi Refinement. Frankly, such strength didn't pose much of a threat in Su Chen's eyes anymore.

Although Su Chen spoke the truth, his words ignited anger in the group. Just as one of them was about to speak, Su Chen spoke first: "How is Wang Ma?"

"You mean that servant?" The leader in the purple robe smiled casually, pointing behind the staircase. "Don't worry, she's fine. I just made sure she had a good sleep, so she wouldn't interrupt our business."

Relieved to hear that Wang Ma was unharmed, Su Chen's heart settled. Honestly, after spending these days together, he had come to view Wang Ma as family. If they really had killed Wang Ma, Su Chen would have made them taste a fate worse than death. However, even though they did not kill Wang Ma, Su Chen did not plan to let them go, at most giving them a quick end, which was already a display of his merciful heart.

At the same time, he was somewhat astonished; the Wu Family really seemed to be quite interesting, having nurtured so many martial artists. Although these people were not high-grade in his mind, in the secular world, they definitely counted as extremely powerful beings!

"Su Chen, would you like to settle this yourself, or do you want us to help you end it?" The man in the purple robe spoke confidently; even though Su Chen had seen through their hiding place, he still did not take him too seriously because he was too young. He didn't believe that this young man posed any threat to them! What he had always feared was merely some peerless master by the young man's side; after all, the several groups he sent had either vanished without a trace or been killed. Today, he decided to make a move here because he had confirmed that at this moment, there was only him nearby!

Su Chen tilted his head, curious as to where the purple-robed man's confidence came from. It seemed that killing so many people earlier had still not taught the Wu Family a lesson! If that was the case, then the solution was simple—just continue killing!

"I am standing right here, and my head is right here; if you have the ability, come and take it yourself," Su Chen stated blandly.

"Since you are so stubborn, then don't blame us for being unkind!"

As soon as the purple-robed man finished speaking, the people in black and white robes beside him immediately rushed towards Su Chen, moving swiftly, and arrived in front of Su Chen in the blink of an eye. Yet Su Chen scoffed coldly, and his hands struck out!

"Bang bang bang!"

Before those people could even reach Su Chen, they had already been slapped away, and almost simultaneously, they landed in different parts of the living room, each one with blood trailing from the corner of their mouth and collapsed chests! Clearly, all these people had been killed by a single palm strike from Su Chen!

Seeing this scene, the purple-robed man broke out in a cold sweat.

What was this young man—a human or a ghost?

The speed of the young man's attack was too fast, so fast that even he, a Qi Refinement Fifth Layer realm master, had almost failed to see it clearly, and the force of his single palm was terrifyingly powerful!

"Were all the earlier groups killed by you?" the purple-robed man asked in shock; at this moment, he also realized that he might have been mistaken earlier. There might not be any supreme master by this young man's side; it was very likely that he himself was the true master! But he was still so young; how could this be possible? At such a young age, to have such a realm, what kind of heaven-defying talent in Martial Arts must he possess!

But Su Chen's next words thoroughly confirmed his judgment. He heard him say: "Since you Wu Family people are numerous and unafraid of death, then I can only fulfill your wish."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, the body of the man in the purple robe couldn't help but tremble, his eyes narrowed, and his expression turned grave! This young man must be eliminated as soon as possible; otherwise, when he comes into his full strength, the Wu Family really will be in grave danger!

Thinking this, the purple-robed man immediately emitted a dense killing intent, and a robust oppressive force began spreading throughout the living room! In that instant, the circulation of the air slowed down abruptly...
