Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1260 - 1335: The Cruel Wisdom of Great Clans' Survival

The sunlight is bright and cheerful, but to Piao Chang, it is unbearably glaring; his mood is as gloomy as if it were covered by a thick layer of smog."The family is finished, big brother is finished."

Piao Chang felt a sense of utter hopelessness.

One moment in Heaven, and in the blink of an eye, plummeting into Hell was so swift and unexpected, leaving one completely unprepared.

"Young Master Piao, you should consider your own safety."

Lin Hai's voice interrupted Piao Chang's various thoughts.

"What do you want?!" Piao Chang gritted his teeth, raised his head, and stared fiercely at Lin Hai.

At this moment, he was filled with deep regret; he shouldn't have listened to the words of the Wu brothers, shouldn't have coveted those three billion dollars.

But it was all too late, there's no medicine for regret in this world.

"If you don't remove the roots, the spring breeze will make it grow again."

After Lin Hai finished speaking, he extended his hand like a blade.

Piao Chang's face instantly turned pale, unable to suppress the deep fear in his eyes.

He hesitated for only a second, swallowed hard with a "gulp" sound, and under Lin Hai's powerful gaze, he quickly pleaded: "Young Master Lin, I beg you, please don't kill me, is that okay?"

Lin Hai and Blood Earl laughed, already knowing this guy had no backbone.

"Give me a reason not to kill you; if you can't speak one, I'll send you to West Heaven immediately." Lin Hai answered coldly.

Piao Chang swallowed several more times, calculating how he could possibly persuade Lin Hai.

The man is a Super Young Master, not short of money, with strong connections around him; it seems there is nothing that could move him.

"I... I... I will give you the entire Piao family, just ask you to spare me, is that okay?" Piao Chang asked tentatively, with difficulty.

Lin Hai shook his head: "Killing you, I can still control the entire Piao family with my abilities."

"But me being alive will help you more in controlling the Piao family," Piao Chang quickly argued, afraid Lin Hai might cut short his life.

"That's not a reason for you to live; I told you, you are dispensable." Lin Hai deliberately made his voice colder.

Piao Chang suddenly felt cold hands and feet, and his whole person seemed to fall into an ice cellar.

"Please, Young Master Lin, I'll do anything as long as you don't kill me." Piao Chang's eyes were completely covered with terror.

Blood Earl shook his head in secret; indeed this kind of person is a wasteful playboy, adept at eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, but when facing difficulties and danger, he has no backbone of a man.

Lin Hai does this deliberately, since Piao Ba holds a high position within Yanhuang Soul, Piao Chang should naturally know more or less about some of Yanhuang Soul's internal secrets.

"Oh? You'll do anything?" Lin Hai asked with a playful smile.

Piao Chang's fear grew upon seeing the smile, but for survival, he nodded gritting his teeth: "Anything, just please don't kill me."

"Very good." Lin Hai nodded and asked, "Tell me about Piao Ba and the core secrets of your entire family."

Every super family has secrets unknown to outsiders.

For example, the Lin family's Human King Tribulation Body and trump card powers.

Piao Chang almost didn't hesitate, saying, "My big brother's kung fu was taught by Lord Tianlong. Yanhuang Soul has a secret potion that can directly elevate you to Supreme Strong, but requires selecting special people. Ordinary people who take the potion will be stuck at the Supreme Strong level and have no chance to ascend further."

Lin Hai raised an eyebrow; this potion seems similar to RX organization's Angel Potion. Didn't Prince Shajia take the Golden Angel Potion and thus step into Supreme Strong? But that guy probably won't reach Legendary level in this lifetime.

"What type of special person?" Lin Hai asked.

"Specifically I don't know well either, but big brother said people like him with an Innate Dominant Body or possessing a special bloodline are prioritized for selection."

Lin Hai suddenly realized; Grandpa Dapao once said that special bloodlines are extraordinarily unique, and indeed differ from ordinary people.

He had always resisted various Angel Potions before; if the opportunity arises, he must try the Red Angel at the critical moment.

"Besides that, what else do you know?" Lin Hai asked again.

Piao Chang tried hard to scour his brain for memories, but his usual activities of eating, drinking, playing, and having fun were numerous, and he knew scarce key secrets.

For the first time, he regretted his usual ignorance and lack of learning.

"Looks like you're worthless now."

Lin Hai deliberately pretended to want to kill him, trying to stimulate this guy's potential.

Upon hearing this, Piao Chang trembled wildly, his mind desperately recalling at the risk of life and death, and as Lin Hai's hand was about to fall on his neck, he screamed: "Don't kill me, I remember big brother has a Half-step Secret Manual."

"What secret manual?"

"Nine, seems to be called Nine Dragon Unification, it's what Lord Tianlong taught big brother to practice."

Piao Chang's heart pounded wildly, afraid this secret isn't valuable enough.

Lin Hai's eyes flickered a few times imperceptibly.

Nine Dragon Unification, that is Tianlong's signature skill!

Even though it's only half-step, it certainly can reveal its uniqueness, perhaps enabling an advantage in facing Tianlong later, knowing the adversary well means invincible in every battle.

"Very well, looks like you don't need to die."

Lin Hai's words made Piao Chang overjoyed: "Really? Young Master Lin, thank you, thank you for sparing me."

Having said that, Piao Chang discarded all dignity and quickly knelt on the bed to kowtow to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai waved his hand: "Next, tally up the various businesses and personnel of the Piao family. I will send a capable assistant to help you, henceforth you will be the public Family Head of the Piao family, understand?"

Piao Chang was overjoyed at once, not expecting that not only did he escape death, but he also gained the position of Family Head.

"Thank you, Young Master Lin, thank you, Young Master Lin, the Nine Dragon Unification is in my big brother's study cabinet, I'll bring it to you later." Piao Chang quickly expressed his willingness.

"Very good, later contact the Eighth Prince of Yanjing, he will assist you."

Piao Chang was startled internally; he used to think Lin Hai was just lucky to win the jackpot and thus became a Super Young Master, but never expected that the Eighth Prince was Lin Hai's subordinate.

This realization caused Piao Chang's rebellious thoughts to greatly decrease.

"By the way, Young Master Lin, I must tell you something." Piao Chang suddenly spoke.

Lin Hai asked, "What is it?"

"It's like this, the nominal Family Head of the Piao family is my father, but the entire family actually relied on my big brother, and now my big brother is finished, but my father…"

Speaking of this, Piao Chang hesitated a bit but still bit the bullet: "If we don't settle the obstacle of my father, it will be difficult for you to control the Piao family."

Blood Earl took a sharp breath, it's said that even a ferocious tiger won't eat its cubs, yet Piao Chang won't even spare his own father!

Lin Hai's eyes also flashed with killing intent, he can tolerate a spineless underling, but he can't tolerate a heartless beast.

Sensing the killing intent in Lin Hai's eyes, Piao Chang immediately understood and hurriedly stammered an explanation: "Young Master Lin, don't misunderstand, I'm not intending to kill my father."

"Then what do you want?" Lin Hai asked coldly.

"I'm just thinking, rather than letting my father tragically die from opposing you, it's better for me as his son to control him, so at least he can keep his life. I don't have the heart to see my own father die; not even my big brother can overcome you, my father certainly has no capability to resist you."

Piao Chang laughed bitterly: "This is the wisdom and cruelty of family survival, no matter what, the family must continue in some form, even if it means becoming your eternal servant."
