Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan drove to the restaurant where Xu Mei was having dinner.
On the way, Su Xiyan briefly told Chen Shuo about another purpose of her visit to meet his parents this time:
"Ever since the last incident with the private kitchen, Tang Zhiyuan has not notified me of the core meetings of the Su City Demon Hunters."
"However, I happened to see your mother's company name on a company document."
"After a simple investigation, I found out that the company had started working with your mother's company. Moreover, the company specifically requested to liaise with your mother this time."
"Upon learning this information, I had no choice but to come back with you to your hometown. After all, with me here, no Demon Hunter would dare to act rashly. Even Tang Zhiyuan wouldn't overstep with me around."
"I just didn't expect Tang Zhiyuan to be so vicious as to find a breakthrough from your mother's side."
Chen Shuo sneered coldly, "Of course that was his only option since he clearly knows he can't defeat me."
"Moreover, he knows I'm the Demon King but has no evidence. So he has to find an entry point through my family."
"Too bad his efforts will be in vain."
Su Xiyan clenched her small hand holding the seat belt into a fist.
This was the first time she saw the hidden killing intent on Chen Shuo's face!
Tang Zhiyuan had brought this upon himself. He had no one to blame but himself.
On the surface, the Su City Demon Hunter organization was a trading company. So there was nothing improper about using the name of the trading company to partner with Chen Shuo’s mother’s company. It wouldn’t arouse anyone’s suspicion at all.
Moreover, Xu Mei didn't even know that her son had become a vampire, let alone that he had become Su City’s most powerful Demon King.
Like an ordinary person, she was completely unaware of the existence of Demon Hunters and vampires in this world, other than humans.
Therefore, what Tang Zhiyuan did was already crossing the line!
Only Tang Zhiyuan himself knew why he resented Chen Shuo so deeply!
The car stopped in the underground parking lot of the restaurant. When getting out of the car, Chen Shuo suddenly grinned and asked Su Xiyan, "If Tang Zhiyuan died, who would become the leader of the Su City Demon Hunters?"
Su Xiyan almost said it would be her dad but didn't say it out. She just shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Chen Shuo looked at her affectionately and reached out to rub her hair, "Why not, I'll take out Tang Zhiyuan and make you the leader of the Su City Demon Hunters, how about that?"
Su Xiyan: "......"
Chen Shuo's eyes gazing at Su Xiyan were extremely gentle.
Su Xiyan was secretly protecting her family. Her heart was much warmer than her appearance suggested.
Girls who were stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside!
In the private room of the restaurant, Tang Zhiyuan was saying something to Xu Mei and Auntie Zhang. It looked just like a business meeting, with no visible problems to an outsider.
To onlookers, Tang Zhiyuan appeared cultured and refined, looking like a typical corporate executive.
In the middle of the conversation, Tang Zhiyuan's phone rang. He got up and excused himself, "Please excuse me for a moment."
After walking out of the private room, Tang Zhiyuan answered the call, "Su Xiyan, what can I do for you?"
Just then, the door of a private room next door opened.
Inside were Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo.
It was only after Tang Zhiyuan walked in that he realized Chen Shuo was also there.
Chen Shuo was sitting casually on a chair, toying with chopsticks on the table. His gaze was calm.
The three of them didn't speak, and the air was heavy.
Chen Shuo broke the silence and said to Su Xiyan, "Xiyan, please go to the private room next door and keep my mother there. I don't want her involved in this."
Su Xiyan got up, "Okay, you guys talk."
As she walked out of the room, Su Xiyan closed the door behind her.
She didn't know what Chen Shuo and Tang Zhiyuan would talk about. Judging from Chen Shuo's usual performance, his family was what he valued most. Yet Tang Zhiyuan had brought death upon himself by deliberately crossing Chen Shuo’s bottom line.
However, Su Xiyan was not worried about Chen Shuo. After all, Chen Shuo was now the Demon King. Tang Zhiyuan was no match for him and wouldn't rashly make a move against Chen Shuo.
Inside the private room, there was dead silence.
Tang Zhiyuan looked at the seemingly ordinary yet unfathomable young man before him. For some reason, fear welled up in his heart and he couldn't help but take two steps back, "What do you want?"
Chen Shuo glanced up, "Hmm? Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? Isn't your purpose getting close to my family so you can get to me?"
"If there's anything you want to ask me, just ask me directly instead of going through my family."
Chen Shuo was so calm and composed. He was just sitting there casually, yet his aura was tremendously powerful!
Tang Zhiyuan even regretted walking into this room.
But it was too late now.
Chen Shuo seemed to sense Tang Zhiyuan's intention to retreat. With chopsticks still in his right hand, he casually lifted his left hand and set up an invisible barrier that enveloped the entire private room.
The moment Tang Zhiyuan saw Chen Shuo deploy the barrier, he knew what his fate would be.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Tang Zhiyuan tidied his suit and tie, and asked, "I have one more question I'd like you to answer truthfully if possible."
Chen Shuo's tone was still relaxed, "Oh? Go ahead and ask."
Tang Zhiyuan's gaze was fixed on the seemingly most ordinary young man in front of him, "Just who exactly are you?"
Chen Shuo picked up the Calpico on the table and took a sip. His thin lips opened slightly and uttered two words, "Demon Saint."
Demon Saint???
Demon Saint!!!
Tang Zhiyuan almost lost his footing. He was extremely shocked inside!
Wasn't he the Demon King? How did he suddenly break through to the Demon Saint realm?
Wasn't that too fast?!
Tang Zhiyuan had thought he could use Chen Shuo's family as a breakthrough point. He never imagined that the one time he didn't listen to advice, it would cost him his life.
If Chen Shuo was only at the Demon King realm, the next leader of the Su City Demon Hunters might have had a chance against him!
But Chen Shuo was a Demon Saint now!
There was no longer any match for him in Su City!!!
"To be able to witness the power of a Demon Saint before death, I have no regrets now!"
Chen Shuo's tone was still casual like an everyday chat: "You shouldn't have gotten in touch with my family."
After speaking, Chen Shuo didn't even glance at Tang Zhiyuan. His hand was still holding the Calpico can.
An invisible blast of air carrying icy killing intent, like rolling clouds in the sky, crushed down towards Tang Zhiyuan.
For the first time, Tang Zhiyuan truly felt the despair!
In that despair, Tang Zhiyuan didn't even have a chance to fight back before dissipating into a wisp of smoke and vanishing into thin air, just like those vampires he had once hunted down.
When Chen Shuo walked out of the private room, there was no one inside.
His eyes were extremely tranquil. The situation in Su City was about to be rewritten!
