After resting for three hours, Yang Tian took off again.

Since he lost his backpack, Yang Tian only had a pair of daggers and a lighter in his pocket aside from his YT alloy Tang dao.

He even threw his Warriormate away to ensure that the folks from Shenwei would not find him.

It was a vast forest, making it easy to lose direction without the help of a Warriormate. On top of that, he could not communicate with Qin Fei anymore... Yang Tian did not know how long he would have to stay that way, but he knew that it was a problem he could not solve easily.

In that case, he would have to be prepared to fight a long battle! He had to keep upgrading himself so that everyone would fear him.

Then, nobody would dare to look for trouble around him.

Yang Tian squinted as he watched the crack of dawn with the sun emerging on the horizon. Squeezing his fists, he finally found a direction to head to, and proceeded walking toward the heart of the Danger Zone.

...

Clank!

A tea bowl was thrown on the ground and smashed into pieces.

“Who did it?” Du Xiongwu said coldly, staring at one of his right-hand men.

The Warrior that he was staring at did not even dare to breathe too loudly. He lowered his head slightly and answered, “A boy from Tianwei Military Academy by the name of Yang Tian.”

“He dared to kill Feng’er! I want him to pay for it. Send people to find him now. I want him alive!” Du Xiongwu’s face was grim as he gritted his teeth and ordered his men.

“Mr. Principal, Tianwei Academy has already kicked this kid out. They even issued a Warrior Bounty against him. According to the order, they will pay 100 million Wu for him, dead or alive,” said the Warrior without leaving right away.

Du Xiongwu sneered, “Xue Yun, that old bastard, he’s fast. Getting rid of all the responsibility in the first given moment.”

“By the way,” continued his right-hand man right after he was done speaking, “Yang Tian, the guy who killed Young Master, had already escaped deep into the Danger Zone. He’s a cunning one, as he tossed his Warriormate away so that we can’t locate him through GPS.”

Du Xiongwu had calmed down by then. He frowned and asked, “What class is Yang Tian currently at?”

“According to the reply from Zhou Dadao, it seems like he’s already a Class Three Warrior. And, Sir, the interesting thing is, Yang Tian was still a regular high school weakling half a year ago. Meaning, he became a Class Three Warrior in less than half a year. Progress like this seems scary!”

“Did anybody help him?” asked Du Xiongwu.

His right-hand man answered, “According to our investigation, Yang Tian had a grandfather called Yang Song. We’re guessing after Yang Tian graduated high school, he must’ve found a Beast Core that Yang Song left behind and became a Transhuman, then he joined Tianwei Military Academy...”

After the man was done reporting the info on Yang Tian, Du Xiongwu sneered, “So, it seems like he’s not alone. He also has parents...Hmph!”

The man understood exactly what he meant; take the parents hostage to threaten Yang Tian. Regular Warriors could not mobilize these kinds of activities, hence after hearing what Du Xiongwu said, he was stunned and said, “Yang Tian’s parents got the news earlier on and somebody had already sent them to where Old Mr. Qin lives. Mr. Qin’s granddaughter, Qin Fei, is Yang Tian’s girlfriend. We heard Mr. Qin took a liking to him.”

“Qin Zhengyang? That old fart...”

As soon as Du Xiongwu mentioned Qin Zhengyang’s name, he frowned hard.

Du Xiongwu thought for a moment and said, “Send Feng Da. Bring that Yang Tian kid back to me.”

“Yes, Sir!” The right-hand man nodded without saying anything else. He then turned away and left.

In the living room, Du Xiongwu was rubbing his forehead. As a father-no matter if he was a regular person or a warlord-losing his own flesh and blood was painful.

Not long after, a beautiful lady came into the living room weeping. She wept and talked to Du Xiongwu for a long time. Du Xiongwu could not refuse so they left the mansion and went to Old Mr. Qin’s place.

Meanwhile, at Old Mr. Qin’s mansion...

“Uncle Qin, is Tian’er really gonna be alright?”

Yang Lin and Wang Hong, who did not sleep a wink throughout the night, went up to Qin Zhengyang and asked while he was taking a relaxing walk in his yard with a teacup in his head. Yang Lin hesitated for a moment before asking the question.

That was already the third time Yang Lin asked that question. Qin Zhengyang was still very patient as he answered him, “Don’t you worry! I really like the kid. ‘A jade that is never cut will never be of use1’. Du Xiongwu is the knife that cuts the jade. As long as Yang Tian gets over this ordeal, he will have a future where the sky’s the limit.”

Yang Lin still could not quite grasp Qin Zhengyang’s meaning, but the couple did not think it was polite to ask any further. They did not say anything else but they could not hide the worries and weariness on their faces.

Just as Qin Zhengyang turned around and wanted to say a few words of consolation, a middle-aged butler came over and whispered a few words into his ear.

Qin Zhengyang did not show any facial expressions, and instead, told Yang Lin and Wang Hong, “Go upstairs and rest! I need to see a guest, so it’s not quite convenient to have you around.”

The couple nodded right away and went back into the mansion.

After the butler left for a few minutes, a tall middle-aged man came up to Qin Zhengyang.

“Principal Du, what brings you to my humble abode?” Qin Zhengyang smiled while looking at the man.

The middle-aged man was Du Xiongwu!

“Mr. Qin, I hope you would hand over Yang Tian’s parents to me. You’re a respected veteran in Shenwei Military Academy, so you should understand that this is not my enmity, but it also has everything to do with the reputation of Shenwei Military Academy,” said Du Xiongwu plainly while looking at Qin Zhengyang’s smiling face.

Qin Zhengyang answered, “‘When there are issues between Warriors, it shouldn’t involve their families.’ This has been a rule set since the early days. Does Principal Du wish to break it? Do you think you can break the rule just because you’re the principal of Shenwei Military Academy?”

“Hmph!” Du Xiongwu said, “Mr. Qin if somebody killed your granddaughter, what would you do?”

Qin Zhengyang frowned slightly upon Du Xiongwu’s words and answered calmly, “Then I’ll take that person’s head.”

Du Xiongwu smiled. “I take it that you can finally put yourself in my shoes! I want Yang Tian to pay for what he did, whatever it takes.”

Qin Zhengyang shook his head knowing that Du Xiongwu completely missed what he meant. However, he had no desire to bicker any further, so he said, “About bringing them out of my house, I’d say forget it.”

Seeing how firm Qin Zhengyang’s attitude was, Du Xiongwu gritted his teeth and said, “Then I will order you as the principal of Shenwei Military Academy! If you don’t obey my order, I have the right to remove your membership.”

Qin Zhengyang laughed upon his words, he said, “Then go right ahead! It really doesn’t matter if I’m a member or not.”

Du Xiongwu squinted and looked at Qin Zhengyang; cruelty flashed by his eyes as he clenched his fists.

With that expression, it seemed like he wanted to start a fight with Qin Zhengyang.

However, after a few moments, Du Xiongwu relaxed his fists and let out a cold humph. He then turned around and left swiftly.

He got into his car after he left the Qin mansion.

Seeing the gloominess on Du Xiongwu’s face, the beautiful lady next to him asked, “Did the old man agree?”

...

Du Xiongwu shook his head.

“That old fart is also a part of Shenwei Military Academy. If he doesn’t take your order, you should kill him,” said the woman coldly.

There were still traces of tears on her face. This beautiful lady was Du Feng’s mother, Zhu Xiaoqing.

Over twenty years ago, Zhu Xiaoqing was a famous beauty. Du Xiongwu married her and she gave him three sons and a daughter consecutively.

After she said that, Du Xiongwu said helplessly, “Even though I’m a Class Eight Warrior and he’s only Class Seven. It seems like he isn’t comparable to me, but the old man has a Red Eagle that is very powerful. If they combine forces, I’m afraid I can’t beat him.”

As soon as he said that, Zhu Xiaoqing started weeping.

“Drive!”

Du Xiongwu got frustrated as soon as she started crying, so he yelled at the driver.

The driver trembled and started the car engine.

With Old Mr. Qin’s protection, Du Xiongwu could not touch Yang Tian’s parents. However, he could send someone to kill Yang Tian.

The ‘Feng Da’ that Du Xiongwu mentioned earlier was a top Class Five Warrior in Shenwei Military Academy. He was trained and nurtured by Du Xiongwu himself, and thus, was very loyal to him. As soon as he received the order from Du Xiongwu, Feng Da packed up his gear and took off with over twenty Warriors.
