Chapter 461: Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall?

Lin Yang heard the words, turned to look at Zhang Yong, and asked with a smile.

"You want to protect him?"

Zhang Yong nodded and said.

"I'm not only protecting him, I'm also protecting you!"

"If you don't kill him, I can let the Peng Clan not pursue you."

Seeing Lin Yang not answer him, Zhang Yong continued speaking.

"Lin Yang, you have no choice; if you don't agree with me, there will be nowhere for you to stand in the whole world."

"Do you know what the Eight Great Royal Families mean?"

Peng Yang, who had been afraid, hearing Zhang Yong's words, felt they made sense.

"Yeah, I'm one of the Eight Great Royal Families; what do I have to fear?"

So he stood up, trying to make himself look not too embarrassed.

He said to Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, we had some misunderstandings about the previous matter."

"Now you hit me and even killed Lü Lao; no matter how big the misunderstanding, it's all wiped out."

"If you let me go now, I can pretend nothing happened."

Upon hearing Peng Yang's words, Zhang Yong, aside from a brief surprise, looked at him with admiration.

"A true man can bend and stretch; as long as he's alive, he can regain his standing."

"What's wrong with putting up with a little anger?"

Seeing Zhang Yong looking at him with admiration, Peng Yang besides feeling a bit proud.

His inner thoughts were mostly about how to take revenge on Lin Yang afterward.

Lin Yang made me lose face today; I must take revenge!

If this gets out, I'll become the laughingstock of the circle.

And Lin Yang, upon hearing their words, also laughed and said.

"Why do you think I would definitely fear the Eight Great Royal Families?"

Zhang Yong shook his head and said: "It's not fear."

"But it's not worth opposing them."

"If you offend the Eight Great Royal Families, there really is nowhere for you to stand within Huaxia."

"Their foundation, strength, and connections are beyond your imagination."

Lin Yang laughed, he gripped his long sword in his hand, looked at Zhang Yong and said.

"So what? As long as I have a sword in hand, I can carve out a place for myself to stand."

As Zhang Yong frowned, Lin Yang continued speaking.

"Moreover, I've already killed members of the Eight Great Royal Families, and I'm still standing here just fine, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yong frowned and asked.

"Who did you kill?"

"I killed a member of the Jiang Clan; if you don't believe me, you can ask Peng Yang."

Saying that, he turned his head to look at Peng Yang and gave him a smile.

Mentioning this, Peng Yang felt fear arise again in his heart.

"If Lin Yang really killed me, even if the Peng Clan truly avenged me, I couldn't come back to life."

A cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

His previously steadied mind became chaotic again.

He took a deep breath and said to Lin Yang.

"Then what must I do for you to let me go?"

As he said this, the arrogance in Peng Yang's heart vanished completely.

He had figured it out; previously, using his family to threaten people had repeatedly failed.

Here with Lin Yang, it no longer works.

Now the only thing he can do is bow his head and admit his mistake!

Hearing Peng Yang's feeble voice, Lin Yang gave a slight smile and said to him.

"What I want is simple: I want you to bow your head and apologize to me!"

"Then, compensate me for my losses."

"Compensate for losses?"

Peng Yang suddenly lifted his head to look at Lin Yang, a hint of resentment appearing in his eyes.

"What losses does Lin Yang have?"

"His own losses are the greatest, right?"

"How about it, you unwilling?"

Hearing Lin Yang's inquiry, Peng Yang took a deep breath, shook his head, and said.

"No."

"I don't know how much money you want."

Seeing Peng Yang lower his head, Lin Yang gave a slight smile and said.

"Last time Peng Shao gave me 300 million; this time, let him give me another 100 million."

"To make it an even number."

Peng Yang clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead.

To him, this was nothing short of humiliation!

Utter humiliation!

He got beaten, yet he had to pay money to the person who hit him!

But, for the sake of his life, he could only accept it!

He took a deep breath and said to Lin Yang.

"Fine, let's use the previous account number."

"Right."

Peng Yang transferred a hundred million without hesitation.

After the transfer, he asked.

"Can I leave now?"

"No."

Now Peng Yang stared at him angrily.

He gritted his teeth and questioned Lin Yang.

"I've already paid the money, why can't I leave!"

"Because you haven't apologized yet; don't forget, I made two demands."

Hearing Lin Yang say that, Peng Yang gritted his teeth and bowed to apologize to Lin Yang.

"Sorry, I was wrong."

Lin Yang laughed and patted his shoulder, saying.

"Young Master Peng, being able to bend and stretch makes you a true man."

"Back then, King Goujian of Yue still slept on firewood and tasted gall; you're far better than him."

Having said that, he laughed loudly and went back inside.

Peng Yang, furious, clenched his fists so hard his nails pierced his palms, drawing blood.

Finally, he exhaled and bowed his fists to Zhang Yong, saying.

"Uncle Zhang, I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."

Zhang Yong gave Peng Yang a deep look, nodded, and said.

"Good."

After Peng Yang left, Zhang Yong said to Zhang Qiling.

"Ling'er, this Peng Yang is not bad."

"Being able to bend and stretch, his future is limitless; marrying him will surely be right."

Hearing this, Zhang Qiling asked with a hint of confusion.

"Shouldn't it be Lin Yang whose future is limitless?"

"Even Peng Yang suffered a setback at his hands and still apologized."

Zhang Yong shook his head and said.

"Lin Yang does have some ability; his talent is quite exceptional."

"But such people are most prone to die young."

"There's a saying: 'The tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.'"

"He knew Peng Yang would retaliate, yet he still let him go, because he was confident."

"Confident, even if Peng Yang retaliates, he can block it."

Zhang Yong looked at Lin Yang's villa, shook his head, and said.

"What a pity, he's too young to know what the Eight Great Families mean."

Zhang Qiling still wanted to say a few words to help Lin Yang, but she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

Zhang Yong said to her: "Pack up, we're returning to Modu."

"From now on, you are not allowed to have any contact with him."

"It was him who shattered my life, turning me from a heavenly gifted lady into an ordinary person."

"The Luo family felt she had brought shame upon them; the school expelled her, destroying her future and dreams."

"And the culprit behind all this, she thought she would never see him again in this lifetime, never expecting to meet him today."

"Looking at Luo Xin's gaze, Ye Fei didn't know how to speak for a moment."

"He lowered his head, glanced at himself hiding behind Luo Xin, looked at his little one, and recalled what she had said before."

"Ye Fei said in a low voice: 'Sorry, it was I who hurt you back then; please give me a chance to make amends, and give Nannan a home.'"

"Nannan, hiding behind Luo Xin, blinked her eyes, looked at Ye Fei, and asked in a childish voice."

"'Mommy, is he my daddy?'"

"The usually gentle Luo Xin, for the first time, roared loudly at Nannan."

"'No, he is not your father; you have no father.'"
