The door opened, and there stood Shen Yue, her eyes swollen from crying.

The girl threw herself into Chen Han's arms and started crying again, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances she had suffered during this period.

Chen Han remained silent, then smiled faintly and gently brushed Shen Yue's head with his hand.

He had already changed into clean clothes, and most of the blood smell on his body had been washed away, otherwise his family would have been scared half to death.

Shen Yue cried for a while and finally calmed down. Chen Han then cupped her face, frowned slightly, and used his clothes to wipe away her tears and snot with some disgust.

"Don't cry, don't cry. You're all grown up now, but you're still acting like a child."

Chen Han smiled.

Chen Yue gave Chen Han a resentful look, then headbutted him in the chest. "Big brother... can you please stop talking about me... this fatso has been causing trouble so many times, I'm terrified."

"Don't worry, I promise no one will bother you again."

"My husband, this..."

Shen Wan'er had been beaming with joy, looking at Chen Han with delight, but then she noticed the dead fat man on the ground and her face showed worry.

"It's alright if a beast dies."

Chen Han didn't care at all. He had almost gone mad killing the thugs of the Black Mountain Gang, so what did a beast with no background matter?

He gently pushed Shen Yue away, a warm smile on his face, and looked at her, saying, "How about I take you to my house?"

"Isn't this my elder brother's house?"

Shen Yue was somewhat confused, her pretty face full of doubt.

"Yes, this is my brother's home, but he also has another home..."

·····

Although Chen Han's improvement speed is fast, he is still too weak compared to the Black Mountain Gang and various forces in the city.

Despite his willingness, he had to admit that only by relying on a powerful patron could he survive better in this chaotic world.

Ultimately, Chen Han only wanted to use the Chen family's resources, treating them as stepping stones. When necessary, he would ruthlessly run away, abandon them, or even monopolize them!

Regardless of whether others call him heartless or cold-blooded...

The Chen residence.

The six guards at the gate stood ready, for the world was not at peace these days, and they had to remain vigilant at all times.

Although no force in Black Lion City dared to cause trouble for the Chen family.

At this moment, they saw four figures slowly walking towards them from a distance. One of them was someone they recognized—Chen Han, who had previously been highly valued by his family and possessed exceptional martial arts talent.

Behind him were two sisters who looked alike and had beautiful figures and faces, and finally an ordinary woman with firm skin, whose former glory was still faintly visible.

"Wait a minute, what are you people doing here?"

They clearly regarded Chen Han as a weakling who couldn't survive in this chaotic world and had come to rely on his family.

Such family members are not well-liked within their own families.

The family has a clear prohibition that members who are exiled from the family must be self-reliant and must not rely on the family again or consume unnecessary resources.

Family is not a way out, much less a refuge!

"I want to see the old steward."

"What is it?"

Shen Yue and the others waited for Chen Han's response, keeping their heads down and not daring to relax. As commoners, they only dared to occasionally glance at this powerful and wealthy family.

My heart is filled with anticipation, yet also with an inexplicable sense of unease.

This is the biggest common problem among ordinary people.

Having reached the peak of Dark Force, Chen Han's gaze became more confident, his back straightened, and he no longer seemed clueless about where to put his hands, no longer appearing timid and incompetent.

However, this drew the ire of six Ming Jin martial arts guards. They were all over forty years old, their bodies stiffened, and they could no longer advance in the path of martial arts. That was why the family had sent them to guard the gate.

However, being backed by one of the three major powers of Black Lion City and being Ming Jin martial artists made them quite arrogant.

Ordinary people had to treat them with utmost respect, always bowing their heads and looking down respectfully.

Chen Han, an ordinary person who could no longer practice martial arts, now acted as if he were on equal footing with them, which made them quite unhappy, and their tone became more solemn.

"The world is in chaos, and I plan to have my wife live with the family."

Chen Han spoke naturally, as if he were talking about something completely ordinary, which only made the others more annoyed.

"ridiculous!"

One of them immediately roared, "What do you take the family for?! Can't you live without the family? How could the family produce such a useless piece of trash like you?!"

Shen Yue was clearly startled, while Shen Wan'er tugged at Chen Han's sleeve, signaling with her eyes that if he couldn't handle it, then so be it.

Another person spoke up sternly: "Chen Han, you know the clan rules. The clan is not there to bail you out."

"I am naturally aware of the clan rules; you can simply inform the old steward."

Chen Han didn't back down at all, crossing his arms over his chest, looking impatient.

"Chen Han! We've already told you the result. If it weren't for the fact that you were once the old manager's darling, this matter wouldn't have been resolved so easily. Now, take your whole family of bumpkins and get out of here!"

"Who are you calling a bumpkin...?"

Chen Han let his hands hang down naturally, his gaze darkening.

Before he was strong enough, he could be subservient, even work like a slave, and keep a low profile. But now that he has grown powerful and confident, he will never compromise again.

"It seems you've come to the family today to cause trouble. Don't blame your uncle then."

As he spoke, the man took two steps forward.

Chen Han showed no fear and gestured for the three women to move away.

"Young man, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of the old steward."

The guard reached out to grab his collar, throw him to the ground, and kick him a few times, to give this arrogant and reckless brat a lasting impression.

Unexpectedly, the next moment Chen Han grabbed his outstretched hand tightly, his wrist being pinched painfully.

Before he could react, Chen Han kicked him in the knee, causing him to lose his balance and fall to his knees.

"Outrageous!"

The group was taken aback at first, but then they reacted, shouted, and surrounded the group.

Chen Han was already challenging their authority as the representative of the family gatekeeper. Regardless of whether he was a member of the family or not, they would not swallow their anger unless they beat him half to death.

"Great, if they all come at once, I won't waste my time..."

A moment later, at the residence of the Chen family patriarch.

The patriarch, Chen Feng, was sipping tea. On his table was a large pile of papers, all of which were family affairs he had to handle every day. After finishing them, enjoying a cup of good tea was a very pleasant experience for him.

He had faint crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, clearly indicating that he was middle-aged. His beard stood up straight, and he had a kind and gentle demeanor, making him a comfortable person to be around.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Someone...someone is causing trouble!"

Just then, the guard at the gate suddenly came to report.

"Causing trouble? You can handle this little thing yourselves. Why are you coming to me?"

His tone became more serious, and he sounded slightly dissatisfied.

"This person, this person..."

The guard looked hesitant to speak, and Chen Feng then turned to look at him. His brows were furrowed, and his face was covered in bruises, and his legs seemed to have been crippled.

"Six Ming Jin martial artists couldn't defeat him? There aren't many people like him in Black Lion City. Who is he?"

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, his gaze growing increasingly gloomy.

"Yes...yes..."

Chen Feng asked impatiently, "Who is it?"

"It's Chen Han!"
