chapter 14 Someone from the Su Family

In the early morning, as the first streaks of dawn painted the sky, Nick Jiang sat cross-legged on a stone table in front of Mia Su's room, facing east, practicing his breathing exercises. Ever since becoming a disciple of Master Tianlong, Nick Jiang had formed the habit of morning exercises. Eight years without interruption! Suddenly, the red sun peeked over the horizon, its first rays of sunlight piercing the eastern sky. Nick Jiang opened his mouth and took a deep breath, as if he were a fish gulping for water. His body instantly shrank, then slowly expanded again. The genuine energy within his body boiled, and his muscles and bones emitted faint thunderous sounds. Facing the first streaks of dawn, this was the most crucial part of Nick Jiang's daily morning routine. Swish! Immediately, Nick Jiang opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning. He sprang to his feet and began practicing martial arts in the courtyard. He didn't use his internal genuine energy, relying solely on his physical strength. His movements were as agile as a dragon, and each move and stance was accompanied by the breathing technique from his internal martial arts, creating a continuous sonic boom. After about ten minutes, Nick Jiang stopped his martial arts practice and looked in the direction nearby. Following his gaze, one could see a short-haired girl standing there. She was about 1.65 meters tall, petite and slender in stature, but with a rather impressive bust. Even though she was wearing a loose-fitting black combat suit, it couldn't hide her bust. Sofia Dongfang. She had arrived here last night but didn't disturb Nick Jiang. When Wenzler Xing saw Sofia Dongfang, he left immediately. Because in the Zhanlong Palace, Wenzler Xing was the vanguard and led the missions. Unless there were special circumstances, he rarely stayed close to Nick Jiang. Sofia Dongfang, on the other hand, was completely different. She was the most unique presence in the entire Zhanlong Palace, rarely involved in missions. She followed behind Nick Jiang like a shadow, obeying only his orders, treating everyone else as if they were invisible. For this reason, Wenzler Xing once jokingly asked Sofia Dongfang a question. "Sofia, if the Lord ordered you to kill me, would you hesitate?" At the time, Sofia Dongfang remained silent, only giving Wenzler Xing a cold, murderous look. "Lord, the Long Country Armed Forces have kept last night's news strictly confidential. As of now, there is no information circulating in the outside world connecting last night's events to you and the Zhanlong Palace." Sofia Dongfang's figure flashed, and she appeared in front of Nick Jiang, bowing to report. "Good." Nick Jiang wasn't surprised by this result. After all, spreading the truth about last night would serve no purpose for the Long Country Armed Forces. Besides, wasn't the Legion Commander of the Eastern Legion, Bob Qin, Bill Qin's grandfather? Then, Nick Jiang took a shower and asked Sofia Dongfang to stay while he went out to buy breakfast. When Nick Jiang returned with several baskets of soup dumplings and wonton, Harper Liu and Mia Su had already woken up. This was the latest Mia Su had woken up in the past few years. Before the Zhen family started retaliating against the Liu family, Mia Su used to wake up at 5:30 every morning for a run, followed by a shower, organizing the day's work, having breakfast, and then heading to the company. However, in the past few days, she had been tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. She had been constantly thinking about one thing: how to resist the Zhen family's retaliation? She had tried her best, but ultimately fell into the abyss of despair, only to be pulled out by Nick Jiang. In the courtyard, Sofia Dongfang saw Nick Jiang return and instantly disappeared. "Mom, Sis, I bought breakfast." Nick Jiang carried the breakfast into the room and called out to Harper Liu and Mia Su. "Nick, the medicine you used for me last night is amazing. I don't feel any pain at all today." Harper Liu walked over, somewhat surprised. When she worked at the Su Group's pharmaceutical division back when she was with the Su family, she had some knowledge of medications. "Mom, would I lie to you?" Nick Jiang smiled and then opened the breakfast containers one by one, handing chopsticks to Harper Liu and Mia Su. "Mom, Sis, after breakfast, let's pack up and leave this place." While they were halfway through breakfast, Nick Jiang spoke up. "I'll follow your lead. Wherever you go, I'll go." Harper Liu nodded. She had been deeply disappointed with how the Liu family had handled Mia Su's situation and didn't want to stay there anymore. "Nick, where do you plan to take Mom and me?" Mia Su also didn't want to stay with the Liu family and was curious about Nick Jiang's plans. "Sis, you're a high-achieving finance graduate with great business talent. After working in the Liu family's business for a few years, you have rich experience in company operations and management. So, I thought you could start your own business. I'll take care of the financial aspect. What do you think?" Nick Jiang laid out the plan he had thought about the previous night. He had learned about Mia Su's experiences over the past eight years from the information he gathered and knew she had a natural talent for business. He didn't want to see her talents go to waste. As for the financial aspect... While Nick Jiang didn't know exactly how much money the Zhanlong Palace had, it had grown significantly over the years and was now a formidable entity. Providing startup capital for Mia Su was not a problem, and even buying a large corporation wouldn't be an issue. "Harper, Nick, Shirun, some people from the Su family have come to see you." Suddenly, without waiting for Mia Su's response to Nick Jiang's suggestion, Levi Liu arrived at the door of the room. His gaze swept over the three people, finally settling on Nick Jiang's face, his expression still filled with remorse. Even after a night had passed, he still regretted not protecting Mia Su at the time! "The Su family member has come?" Nick Jiang raised an eyebrow. According to the information he had, since he, Harper Liu, and Mia Su had been expelled from the Su family by Richard Su, no one from the Su family, including Richard Su, had ever inquired about their whereabouts or well-being. Even when the Zhen family retaliated against the Liu family and forced Mia Su to marry Philip Zhen, no one from the Su family had appeared, not even a phone call! And now, Nick Jiang had returned, resolved the issue with the Zhen family, and the Su family sent people to visit. Was this a coincidence? "Yes, Nick. Just now, the gate guard reported that the visitors claimed to be from the Su family, wanting to see you," replied Levi Liu. "Grandfather, who is this person from the Su family?" Mia Su asked instinctively. "The gate guard didn't say, I'll make a call to have someone ask," Levi Liu said, about to take out his phone to inquire about the person's identity from Mia Su's uncle. "No need, just let him in," Nick Jiang said, waving his hand, stopping Levi Liu from making the call. "Nick, are you sure?" Both Harper Liu and Mia Su looked somewhat surprised at Nick Jiang. "Who from the Su family came doesn't matter. What's important is why the Su family sent someone here at this critical moment," Nick Jiang said, standing up directly. This time, he mainly came back to help Harper Liu and Mia Su resolve their troubles. Originally, in his plan, besides dealing with the Zhen family, he also intended to take the two of them to visit the Su family. Now that the Su family has sent someone, of course they have to meet him! …………
