Chapter 934: Puppet-like existence!
Zhao Wuming couldn't help but start to think wildly because of the calm performance of Tian San and Tian Qi. On the other side, the man in black who had blown up the special forces team member with one punch had already landed lightly, bowed to Pei Runnian, turned around and stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes swept over Tian San, Tian Qi, Zhao Wuming and others, and quickly swept across them even a trace of brutality and passion.
At this point, the parliamentary party on the scene was completely wiped out before they even had time to beg for mercy after Pei Runnian arrived.
At this time, the only two forces left on the scene were the representatives of the Hedong family and Tian San, Tian Qi and Zhao Wuming.
Pei Runnian didn't even look at the corpses of his subordinates in the parliament scattered all over the ground. He turned his head and glanced at the representatives of other Hedong families.
The representatives of various families, who were already silent as a mouse, were instantly trembling with fear when they saw Pei Runnian looking at them. They were already frightened by the fate of the people in the parliament just now.
After all, these people were just standing here with them, arguing or cooperating, but after Pei Runnian arrived at the scene, they didn't even say a few words before Pei Runnian waved his hand and killed them all, some even blasted them into pieces. The death was so tragic, how could they not be afraid?
Seeing Pei Runnian looking at them, they were afraid that Pei Runnian would kill them all with a simple wave of his hand. The group of people were so scared that they immediately begged for mercy.
"Master Pei, I am from the Liu family, please show mercy!"
"Uncle Pei, I'm Xiaoliu from the Li family. I came to pay my respects to you a few days ago!"
"Master Pei, Uncle Pei, my mother is the daughter-in-law of your third brother's family and the wife of your younger brother's family. So I am your nephew, you can't kill me!"
"Uncle Pei, we are being presumptuous today. Please forgive us. We will come to your house to apologize another day!"
A group of people started shouting incoherently, they were really scared in their hearts, fearing that Pei Runnian would not waste time talking to them or pay attention to their pleas and would just kill them directly.
Therefore, as they begged for mercy, the scene suddenly became a little noisy.
Pei Runnian couldn't help but frowning slightly when he heard their chaotic shouting.
The man in black who had just knocked the special forces member to pieces with a punch took a step forward and shouted coldly. In an instant, it sounded like a bomb in everyone's ears, shocking them so much that they immediately shut their mouths tightly.
"Shut up, everyone!"
"Whoever shouts again will die!"
This sentence was like a switch, instantly shutting everyone's mouth.
The representatives of the Hedong families kept their mouths shut and looked at Pei Runnian pitifully. They began to regret their actions in their hearts, thinking that they had angered Pei Runnian again by shouting nonsense, and were afraid that Pei Runnian would order them all to be killed in the next second.
The complex emotions of fear, panic, and the desire to survive made their expressions look particularly strange and funny.
Pei Runnian looked at this group of people and didn't even want to talk to them.
As the head of the Pei family, if he showed up normally, even the heads and elders of the families behind these people would come out in full force to greet him and speak to him respectfully, and these juniors wouldn't even be able to get close to him.
Talking to them and personally dealing with them is completely degrading and not humiliating enough.
So Pei Runnian just glanced at them and didn't look at them again. The man in black who just blew up the special forces team member was undoubtedly Pei Runnian's confidant and knew Pei Runnian's thoughts very well.
Therefore, after Pei Runnian looked away, the man in black stepped forward, glanced coldly at the silent representatives of various families, and spoke in a low voice.
"Call all of you out, stand here honestly, and don't go anywhere."
"Don't look around, don't talk, don't move around, don't make any noise, just wait for your punishment."
"If anyone dares to break the rules..."
The man in black sneered, revealing his white teeth like the fangs of a beast before hunting. The chilling air made the representatives of the Hedong families shiver.
Soon, they heard the cruel and cold words of the man in black.
"Enough people have died today, and a few of you won't be needed."
"You little guys are like chickens. You will die if you are pinched easily. I don't think those cowards behind you dare to say anything to our Pei family."
"If you stay here quietly, you may still be able to keep your life. Do you understand?"
The cold murderous intent in the black-clothed man's words and his ruthlessness as if he didn't treat them as human beings completely frightened these family representatives who usually had high aspirations and were full of arrogance.
Their bodies were shaking, and they dared not even utter a word of fear. They could only nod their heads desperately to express their obedience, not daring to show any rebelliousness at all.
Each of them is a daughter of a wealthy family. Even if they have experienced some bravery and fighting in the past, it can never be compared with the life-and-death struggle they are experiencing now.
They dared not ignore the death threats from the man in black or take them seriously. The fragments of the special forces member who was blown up by the man in black's punch were still under their feet. They had no doubt that if they dared to disobey and really did something that would cause the man in black to misunderstand, the man in black would not hesitate at all when blowing them up.
Not to mention that the man in black is Pei Runnian's confidant, he acted on behalf of the Pei family. This alone is enough to make the families behind them feel wary. The man in black himself has reached the peak of dark energy. Just relying on this one point, he is enough to be on par with the high-level people such as the head of their family or the elders.
In other words, no matter which family a warrior at the peak of dark energy belongs to, he is the absolute core, equivalent to a nuclear missile for strategic deterrence.
The men in black wanted to kill them, and that was it. The families behind them would never rashly go against a warrior at the peak of dark energy because of the death of these youngsters.
Although it is cruel, this is the reality, because their identities, status and the benefits they can bring are not worth it for the families behind them to confront a top dark energy master.
Unless they are the family heir, the head of the family's legitimate son, or a family genius, it is worth the head of the family taking action to avenge them.
It’s a pity that they are nothing, so they don’t actually have much value in the eyes of the family.
Even if they died, the families behind them would certainly be angry, but if you consider how much loss they had caused to the family, that would be the end of it.
The families behind them are all prosperous and have many descendants. There is no shortage of young people in the families who want to do things, want to stand out, and want to get to the top.
If this group of them dies, another group of their brothers and sisters will immediately take their place and seamlessly replace the peacocks they left behind, without causing any unrest to the family at all.
To put it bluntly, the speed at which they die may be even faster than the life of their family.
After all, as members of the upper-class families in Hedong, they monopolized the resources of the entire Hedong to support their families. These families were all very wealthy, and even the ordinary non-core members were either rich or noble and had no shortage of money.
He has a wife at home, but he also has at least several or even dozens of mistresses outside, and each of them wants to give birth to children for them in order to climb up the social ladder of their family.
So, these families have no shortage of backup members.
It's not like leeks, which will grow again immediately after being cut, but this is actually the case.
As soon as they died, their brothers and sisters would immediately appear and replace them silently. There wouldn't even be any turbulence, not to mention that they would be confronted by top dark energy masters like the Pei family and the man in black. That would be something that only happened in a dream.
Therefore, listening to the death threats from the man in black, all the members of the Hedong family stood as obediently as chickens, nodding their heads desperately, and did not even dare to say a word!
Pei Runnian no longer had the heart to pay attention to these juniors. He turned his head and looked at Pei Qingsong and Pei Xingchen, who had been silent.
When he saw Pei Qingsong and Pei Xingchen, Pei Runnian's expression showed obvious fluctuations for the first time since he appeared.
Pei Runnian nodded to Pei Qingsong, his expression softened a lot, and said in a deep voice.
"Second brother, thank you for your hard work."
Pei Qingsong also obviously breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Pei Runnian had arrived, the situation here would be under the control of Pei Runnian. He only needed to follow orders and no longer had to bear the heavy pressure like before.
Listening to Pei Runnian's words of comfort, Pei Qingsong shook his head.
"You are too polite, sir. This is all part of my job."
"It's all my fault for being incompetent. I even had to trouble the head of the family to come in person. I really deserve to die."
Listening to Pei Qingsong's apology, Pei Runnian laughed.
"As for the crime of death, let's not talk about it among old brothers."
"Facing the sudden attack from Chu Longtu's elite men, being able to hold out to this point is already a great achievement."
"You rest aside first, we will discuss it later."
Pei Qingsong nodded and stood aside without saying anything else.
After comforting Pei Qingsong, Pei Runnian looked at Pei Xingchen, who had been silent, again, and his eyes suddenly became sharper.
Ever since Pei Xingchen saw Pei Runnian appear, the expression on his face has been strange, conflicted, resentful, and indifferent. He looked as strange as if he had a split personality.
When Pei Xingchen saw Pei Runnian looking at him, his heart was shocked. The expression on his face suddenly became extremely cold as he met Pei Runnian's sharp gaze.
The father and son looked at each other, but there was no tenderness or warmth in each other. They looked as if they were two enemies, which was very strange.
But Pei Qingsong next to him seemed to be blind at this moment. He looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. He was so focused as if he was looking at a peerless beauty, and he didn't even look at the father and son next to him.
The representatives of the Hedong family had received the warning from the man in black just now, so they dared not glance around and stared closely at their toes. They stood there obediently as if they were primary school students being punished, and there was no sign of the strange atmosphere between the father and son.
Only Tian San, Tian Qi and Zhao Wuming were amazed when they saw Pei Runnian and Pei Xingchen, who looked like enemies meeting each other.
Although they knew about the situation between Pei Runnian and Pei Xingchen, the father and son, they couldn't help but sigh when they actually saw it.
"It is said that there is no family affection among the rich. Look at this father and son. They don't look like father and son at all. They look more like the murderer of his father."
Tian San smiled and teased, and Tian Qi curled his lips.
"You have seen many cases where the father and son of a wealthy family regard each other as enemies. I think I am the emperor and I have the final say on all matters in the family."
"The kid thought he was the prince and wanted to make the decision himself. The two sides refused to give in, and that's what happened, isn't it?"
"The man you personally led to assassinate the Duke last year was his son who wanted to inherit the title, but his father wanted to give the title to his illegitimate son. As a result, that guy spent a huge amount of money to ask us to kill his father, and finally let him take the throne, right?"
Tian San nodded, and Zhao Wuming also snorted coldly.
"If my son dares to do this to me in the future, I will strangle him to death. He is so rebellious and dares to talk back to me."
