Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the empty land, the startled onlookers started discussing and gossiping.

“Are you serious? Are they the guards from the main Song family?”

“The main Song family’s guards are here. What’s going on?”

“That person in the middle. His status seems extraordinary!”

“No, that seems to be the Patriarch of the main Song family… the Patriarch of the Song clan, Song Xiaotian!”

“D*mn, this guy is a big shot! Why is he here!”

“…”

Everyone was astounded to hear that the Song family’s patriarch was here.

The Patriarch of the Song family was a very important and influential figure in the entire Federation. Why would he come to such a small neighborhood?

As for Song Lin and Song Ding, when they saw the guards from the main Song family arrive and heard that the Song family’s Patriarch had arrived, their faces were filled with joy as if they had seen a ray of hope.

The two of them quickly asked their guards to support them as they hobbled towards Song Xiaotian.

Before long, they finally laid eyes on Song Xiaotian, the Patriarch of the Song family!

Song Lin immediately shouted when he saw Song Xiaotian.

......

“Honorable Patriarch! You must help us seek justice. We are members of the Song family, yet we were bullied in public!”

Song Xiaotian arrived with the caretaker and a group of the main Song family’s guards. When he saw the severely injured Song Lin and Song Ding in such a sorry state, he frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”

Song Lin quickly told Song Xiaotian the general situation.

“It’s like this, Patriarch. My son, Song Ding, is here today to collect some venue management fees. He can also help them with their security.”

“In the end, he had the gall to injure my son.”

“Then, I took into consideration the development of our collaboration and came to make peace. With just a few words, we came into conflict with each other and we fought. To think that he would beat me up so badly until I suffered serious injuries. And he still wanted me to compensate him. Don’t you think that’s too much and he’s being a bully? He’s simply looking down on our Song family!”

Song Xiaotian frowned slightly. To be able to take on the position of patriarch, other than being born in the main Song family, his strength and other aspects of his abilities were no doubt unquestionable. Not surprisingly, he wouldn’t simply believe Song Lin’s one-sided story.

It was obvious that the so-called venue management fee was a protection fee. Song Ding must have provoked the other party first.

Song Xiaotian was also astute enough to notice something else and asked calmly, “What kind of compensation does he want?”

Song Lin was slightly caught off guard. He then replied with an awkward expression, “My son, Song Ding, came here at first and had some disagreements with them. He broke some things and injured some workers, that’s all.”

Song Xiaotian glanced at Song Lin indifferently, but it filled Song Lin’s heart with fear.

Song Xiaotian had already roughly guessed the situation. The problem probably centered on Song Lin and Song Ding.

However, the other party was indeed a little ruthless in his handling of the situation. Even if he wanted to teach them a lesson, he should have checked their background first. To publicly lecture members of a branch of the Song family was really not giving the Song family any respect at all.

“Where is he? Take me there.” Song Xiaotian asked in a nonchalant manner.

When Song Lin heard that, he was clearly overjoyed. He thought that Song Xiaotian was going to stand up for him and quickly said, “He’s right there. His workers are doing renovation works on the new dojo.”

“New dojo?”

Song Xiaotian became a little suspicious instantly. The savior that Song Yu mentioned just now seemed to be renovating the dojo here too. It couldn’t be such a coincidence, right?

Soon, Song Xiaotian arrived in front of Lu Yu, led by Song Lin and a few Song family guards.

“Sir, may I ask for your name?” Song Xiaotian inquired.

Lu Yu had already heard that this person was the Patriarch of the Song Family and his status was extraordinary.

Even though Lu Yu was already very powerful at the moment, in the face of such a well-known figure in the Federation with such exceptional combat abilities, he didn’t have much confidence.

However, Lu Yu wasn’t in the wrong in this matter, so he was not afraid. He directly replied, “My surname is Lu, first name Yu. Lu Yu!”

Song Xiaotian immediately understood in his mind that this person was his daughter’s savior.

Even if Lu Yu was in the wrong this time, Song Xiaotian would definitely still take his side.

A branch of the Song family meant nothing to the entire Song clan. Song Xiaotian did not care much about it.

Furthermore, although the details of this matter weren’t clear yet, at the moment what was clear was that Song Lin and Song Ding had been at fault right from the start, and not Lu Yu.

Song Xiaotian’s face turned icy cold as he glared at Song Lin and Song Ding.

Song Lin and Song Ding had no idea what Song Xiaotian was planning inwardly.

Song Lin pointed at Lu Yu and said, “Patriarch, it’s this fellow. He’s simply too arrogant. You must help us teach him a lesson!”

At this moment, Song Xiaotian said in a menacing tone, “Song Lin, Song Ding, you were at fault in the first place. You not only twisted the facts, you even dared to lie in front of me. You guys really have balls of steel! Take them back to the family clan and serve them the family rules. All the branch family members and guards from the branch family who participated in this matter will also be punished!”

When they heard Song Xiaotian’s words, Song Lin and Song Ding were dumbfounded for a while. As they gradually recovered themselves, their faces began to fill with panic. Ignoring the injuries all over their bodies, they promptly knelt down on the spot, begging, “Patriarch, I know I was wrong. I won’t dare to lie anymore. Please spare me!”

For the Song family to develop to its current scale, they naturally had a perfect management system.

Among them, the family rules of the Song family were extremely strict.

Even though Song Lin was the head of the Song branch family and his status was still high enough,

now that he had violated the family rules, he would still be punished accordingly.

In fact, because he was the head of the Song branch family and he was a leader who would have a bigger influence on others, his punishment would be more severe.

At this moment, Song Lin and Song Ding thought of the harsh family rules and were extremely terrified.

Those strict family rules would almost cost them half their lives!

At this time, the onlookers were stunned by how the tables were turned. Instead of the Patriarch of the Song family teaching Lu Yu, the new dojo master, a lesson, the situation suddenly reversed, and it turned out that the Patriarch wanted to teach Song Lin, Song Ding, and their followers a lesson. The startled passersby whispered and gossiped among themselves.

“What’s going on? Why did the Song Family Patriarch suddenly punish Song Lin and the rest?”

“This scene is so strange. The Song family is punishing the Song family.”

“Didn’t he make it very clear? Song Lin lied to the Song family’s patriarch and violated the family rules.”

“I heard that the Song family’s rules are very strict. Many people would rather die than contravene the family rules. It’s a torture that is worse than death.”

“The Song family has always been like this. Their system is strict. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have become such a huge force now.”

“I was here when the earlier incident took place. Song Lin and Song Ding were indeed in the wrong. They were the ones who stirred up trouble first.”

“The Song family’s patriarch is punishing Song Lin in front of so many people. He has totally no regard for his self-esteem at all!”

“…”

At this moment, Song Xiaotian was completely unmoved by Song Lin and Song Ding kneeling and begging for forgiveness. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the guards beside him and ordered them to round up Song Lin, Song Ding, their followers and guards before hauling them away.

Then, Song Xiaotian walked directly to Lu Yu all alone and stood in front of him.

Lu Yu was unable to detect any aura of strength from Song Xiaotian at all. It was completely concealed.

However, Song Xiaotian’s imposing stature and disposition alone made Lu Yu feel somewhat pressured.

Lu Yu was secretly shocked. This guy was truly an extraordinary figure!
