Zhao Tian

[Heaven's Chosen Son Detected!]

[Kill him to survive the play of destiny!]

[Zhao Tian, The Heaven's Chosen Son, after living 18 years as an ordinary orphan mortal with no chance to cultivate, he was suddenly chosen one day by a mysterious soul treasure that provided him with extraordinary talent to cultivate and purify the Qi around him, cultivating rich and pure internal energy. Along with that, he possesses several mysterious techniques but still can't access the full potential of the soul treasure.]

'Huh~ what an origin story, chosen by a soul artifact? Even I never came across such a rare thing in my life, yet here in a mere lower world, what are the chances? But well, the good thing is his cultivation is low; let me just kill him right awa-'

[It's strongly advised not to take harsh actions like this, host! The Heaven's Sons and Daughters are protected by several layers of fate and destiny itself! You need to slowly destroy the protection of destiny before killing them! If not, the wrath of fate will fall upon you, and you might even suffer instant death right at the moment!]

'So it's like cooking a chicken, huh... And here I was searching for something fun to do in this world...'

As Shen Li thought that, at the same time, his father, with a slightly annoyed look on his face, commented, "Who is this young guy, so daring to interfere with matters of my Great Shen Clan and the Xu Clan?"

As he questioned, Xu Jia immediately tried to introduce him, but she was interrupted by this guy as he introduced himself, "He is-"

"I'm Zhao Tian. I'm just a friend of Xu Jia who thinks highly of her. It doesn't take status or position to speak the truth and wisdom anyway."

As he said that, Shen Bao turned silent, and Xu Jia started to form a smile on her face. But just then, interrupting their grins, Shen Li stood up and coldly commented, "Indeed, it doesn't take status or position to speak the truth and wisdom, but it does take status, position, and our permission to stand on the top floor of this building owned by the Great Shen Clan, where someone like you wouldn't even be permitted to enter the ground floor, let alone stand equal with me here in this luxury hall."

"Young Master Shen, this is—"

"Silence!!!" Xu Jia immediately tried to stand up and oppose Shen Li, but he silenced her with a loud roar. His presence had turned extremely chilly, and he directly showed his killing intent that could send shivers down her and her parents' spines. He coldly stated, "The Great Shen Clan took care of you for 15 years, defending you from outsiders and competition with other clans and powerhouses, providing you with all the resources and wealth to continue and invest in new businesses. And this is how you repay us?"

As Shen Li said that, the hall was once again silent, with frowning faces from the Xu Clan.

'My son!'

'Since when was he so commanding! Hahaha! Guess the blood runs thick in his veins after all!'

Shen Hao and Shen Yulan, the parents of Shen Li, immediately felt proud of Shen Li as they saw him take command of the meeting. But just then, with a smirk, Zhao Tian stepped forward and commented with a scoff, "What's all this talk about clans and marriage? Aren't you engaged to Miss Xu Jia? Have you ever considered her feelings and rights—"

"You say engagement is about love and affection, huh... Very well, I immediately demand that the Xu Clan returns all profits, investments, and shares gained under the resources and help provided by the Great Shen Clan. At the same time, the Great Shen Clan will immediately withdraw all its investments and also publicly declare that we no longer hold any sort of connection with one another. At the same time, if it benefits us, we will team up with other clans and powerhouses to destroy the Xu Clan."

"You!!!"

The face of Zhao Tian immediately turned red with rage as he shouted at Shen Li, and the faces of the Xu Clan were filled with despair. But Shen Li, on the other hand, just grinned and quietly took his seat with a scoff. He coldly commented, "Why are you so enraged now? Let's sit down and talk like civilized human beings, right?"

Xiao Tian was stunned the moment he heard it. At the same time, Shen Li's parents immediately brightened up with confident grins. Shen Li began to speak the facts to the Xu Clan and Zhao Tian's faces.

"What's making you angry now? Didn't you say love and affection are needed for marriage? Then why are you angry at suggestions to take back all the gains promised for this marriage without love and affection? Huh? By your logic, shouldn't the profits gained from an engagement that's using the daughter of the Xu Clan as an object be equally detestable as the engagement itself?

Since we are no longer engaged, there is no reason for my Great Shen Clan to invest in or support the Xu Clan, right? We are now neutral, and if it's profitable, we can even attack the Xu Clan, right? Isn't this what you wanted? To cut off the connection between the Shen and Xu Clan? We permit it. Now, return our profits and go back to being a fallen clan."

Shen Li coldly announced, leaving everyone in the room stunned. Hearing him, Shen Hao also grinned and took the documents placed by the Xu Clan Patriarch on the table as he stated, "Very well then, as my son said, since you claim the engagement isn't valid due to the absence of love, then the profits shouldn't be involved with you because of the invalid engagement either, right?"

Hearing this, goosebumps ran through the bodies and souls of all the members of the Xu Clan sitting in front of him. Zhao Tian immediately opposed the claims.

"This is unfair! Indeed, the Shen Clan provided the investment and protection, but it was ultimately due to Lu Clan's Patriarch's wise decisions and leadership that revived the Xu Clan in just 15 years! We are willing to compensate for this engagement annulment, but asking for all shares, investments, and even publicly declaring such things is too much!"

"Too much? I say that's too little... After you break off the engagement today, what do you think will happen, huh? It's a direct slap in the face for my Clan! Tsk! Really, even people like you dare to talk about wisdom and truth and cry when asked for the same..."

Shen Li coldly scoffed, and his gaze observed both Xiao Tian and Xu Jia, who now seemed a bit uncertain of their decisions. With a cold grin, Shen Li stood up, straightening his suit. He blatantly ignored Xiao Tian, who was standing in front of him, and looked at Xu Jia, who was sitting behind him, and stated.

"It seems this immature meeting is done here. If you want to talk like a civilized person, you are welcome anytime. If you want to talk like warriors, then the Shen Clan isn't one to back down. And if it's a clash of demons, then just I alone am enough!

Xu Jia, I have respect for you as my fiancée and a great talent, but you aren't my wife yet, and my Clan still comes first. We will give the Shen Clan a whole month to decide upon your future course of actions.

If you want to break off the engagement, fulfill the terms we stated, and if not, then... Don't let me see this trash's face within a radius of 100 meters of my family, and Xu Jia too. If not, we will execute our terms ourselves!"

As Shen Li said that, his parents also stood up with grins, and Shen Hao supported his son's words by stating, "It will be as my son has suggested."

With that, he and his wife both left the hall, and Shen Li followed along. But as he was leaving, Zhao Tian, showing full panic on his face, immediately tried to stop him.

"Wait, you!"

He attempted to grab Shen Li's shoulders, but before he could touch him, Lin Hua's kick landed straight at his waist, tossing him over 20 meters away in the hall, clutching his arms in pain for attempting to block the attack.

"Get lost..."

Shen Li coldly scoffed and gave one last glare before leaving the hall along with Lin Hua and his parents, sealing the fate of the Xu Clan and Zhao Tian.

[Congratulations on turning the tables against Zhao Tian!]

[2000 Fate Points Plundered!]

[Xu Jia has developed uncertainty towards Zhao Tian]

[1500 Fate Points Plundered!]

"Hmph!"
