chapter 21 You are worthy of being a warrior

It was widely known that in a car accident seven years ago, during their return from the company, the eldest son of the Su Family, Hunter Su, and his daughter-in-law collided with a heavy truck. The incident also claimed the life of their driver. At that time, they were supposed to return home with their daughter, but fortunately, Abigail was attending extra classes, saving her from being a part of the fatal accident. "Uncle, what happened to Hunter and Skylar was an accident. No one wanted it. How could you accuse me of killing them?" Owen asserted firmly. The traffic department had already determined that the truck driver wasn't under the influence of alcohol or drugs; it was just a regular accident. "Humph! Yes, you were this eloquent yesterday too. On the surface, it indeed seemed like a regular accident, and I once thought so too." "But if you want to keep something a secret, don't do it at all. You gave your eldest uncle five million to find a truck driver and stage a fake accident." "Although this is just one side of the story, I didn't believe it was your doing. When I questioned you, you tried to kill me to silence me! *Cough*..." Peter spoke in one breath, then erupted into a severe fit of coughing, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Hearing this, everyone finally understood that Owen had a motive to kill Hunter. Clearly, by eliminating him, there would be no competition for the position of the Su family's leader. "Don't believe his nonsense, this old man took poison himself. He must be hallucinating. Everything he's saying is his delusion," Owen argued adamantly. Even at the cost of his life, he refused to admit to the allegations. "Leo, take action," Peter commanded, gasping for breath. He needed to witness the death of the man who had killed his son and daughter-in-law. "No, stay away!" Owen retreated repeatedly as Leo approached step by step. "Ava, save me, speak up for me. I didn't kill Hunter and Skylar." "Sean, James, help me." "Stella..." "Ryder..." ... Owen pleaded with the Su family members as he maneuvered the wheelchair back and forth among them, but no one stepped forward. Regardless of the truth, Old Master Su had given the order, and no one could save him. With no hope in sight, Owen wore a face full of regret. The accident involving Hunter and Skylar was indeed his arrangement, and he had personally forced Peter to drink an entire bottle of Decimation of All Grasses Poison, ensuring certain death. Outsiders believed it was suicide, making it a seamless plot. He had orchestrated all of this to wait for Old Master Su's death, allowing him to take control of the Su family. Seeing success within reach, he never anticipated such a turn of events. "Leo, don't kill me. I've always paid your salary on time." "Oh, by the way, I can give you a raise, double it, no, triple it, five times!" "This Old Master Su has ingested Decimation of All Grasses Poison; even gods can't save him. He's bound to die. Once he's gone, I'll become the head of the Su family. We can split everything fifty-fifty. It's okay if you want to get 70%, and I get 30%!" Owen's mind raced, and even if the entire Su family yielded, he was willing to do anything to stay alive. Leo paused in his tracks. Owen felt a surge of hope and continued, "Leo, once I become the head of the Su family, most of the money I earn will be yours. Moreover, as far as I know, your son is nearly thirty and still unmarried. I promise you, I'll arrange for Abigail to marry your son." Leo came to a complete stop. As a Hatchet Man, money was undoubtedly important, but his son's marriage was the most troublesome matter for him. Despite being a warrior with a robust physique, his son idled away his days with a group of troublemakers. With a stature over two meters tall, he was as strong as an ox, making it difficult for him to find a suitable match. Girls were frightened away at the sight of him. "Sorry, Old Master Su," Leo stood by Owen's side, declaring his stance. "Leo! You!" Peter never expected Leo to betray him. He continued, "Leo, don't be confused. Even if I die, my position will be handed over to Abigail, not him!" "Hahaha!" Owen laughed uproariously. "Hand it over to Abigail? She's just a little girl with barely a college education. Can she uphold the entire Su family? Look around the Su family; besides me, who else has the capability?" With Leo on his side, Owen gained immense confidence. "Old man, did you ever think it would come to this?" "Even if I orchestrated your son's accident, so what? What can you do to me? Was he fit to be the heir of the Su family? I've worked tirelessly for the Su family for so many years, and my achievements are evident to all. You old fool, you still want to hand the position to Hunter? Do you think he deserved to live? His death is just retribution!" Owen vented his frustrations, forgetting that Hunter was Peter's son. Inheriting the family business was a matter of course, and for Owen, an outsider, to harbor jealousy and commit murder was outrageous. "You! *Cough*..." Peter, convinced that Owen was his son's murderer, couldn't contain his anger and coughed up blood. Fernando urgently infused a palmful of Genuine Energy, realizing that Old Master Su was on the verge of collapse. "It's you! You killed my parents! I'll kill you!" Abigail cried out, attempting to rush forward. That year, she was only fifteen when her parents left her, making her feel like her world had crumbled. For so many years, she believed her parents died in an ordinary car accident, never imagining that they were intentionally killed, and the murderer was by her side every day. "No, Abigail," Peter exerted all his strength, holding onto his granddaughter. "Abigail, don't go." With Leo's betrayal, Abigail's attempts were futile. "Nando..." Peter's voice weakened as he struggled to breathe heavily. "I... I have only one wish, and that is to take care of Abigail. If you can... *Sigh*." Peter chuckled bitterly, knowing that Fernando had a daughter and it was impossible for him to marry Abigail. "Take care of Abigail..." Peter choked up, a look of regret on his face. Fernando nodded solemnly. "Old Master Su, rest assured. I'll treat Abigail as my own younger sister." "In addition..." Fernando gazed into the distance, his intent to kill apparently. "This person, I'll take care of as well. Victor!" Behind Fernando, as Victor took a step forward, Brian suddenly darted out, wielding a massive fist. "Wow, wow, wow! This kind of opportunistic person thinks he deserves to be a warrior!" Leo didn't even lift an eyelid. Within Jinghai, those who could match him in a fight were few, and this was the sole reason the Gu Family had reservations about the Su Family. Owen sneered inwardly, thinking, Once this old guy is taken care of, it'll be your turn, Fernando.
