Fatty was a little confused.
He had clearly heard General Pagoda and the Principal say that as long as the Demon's Heart was destroyed, the city's crisis would be resolved.
Now that the Demon's Heart was destroyed, why hadn't the city's crisis been resolved?
"That's because the Super S-Class Demonic Beast hadn't awakened. Destroying the Demon's Heart would put the Super S-Class Demonic Beast back to sleep, but when I encountered it, it had already awakened."
"So, its main body must be destroyed as well for this city to be safe."
Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Fatty felt things were getting more and more complicated.
He couldn't help but ask, "Where is its main body?"
"That, I guess only the Guardian Family would know!"
Jiang Chen said, taking a sip of his lemon water.
The sourness of the water stimulated his digestive system, helping him digest food faster.
Guardian Family.
Fatty knew about the existence of the Guardian Family.
But that was only in legends.
Legend had it that every city had a Guardian Family, and when the city was in danger, members of the Guardian Family would appear to protect it.
Since it was just a legend, no one had ever actually seen them.
Therefore, Fatty thought it was just a story.
So, he asked, "You mean the Guardian Family really exists?"
"Of course it does, and you even know someone from the Guardian Family."
He knew people? He didn't know many people at school, and his only friends were Jiang Chen and Zhang Banxian.
Now Jiang Chen said he knew someone from the Guardian Family.
He was a bit unclear about who among the people he knew could be from the Guardian Family.
"You know Song Yiyi, right? Her family is the Guardian Family of this city."
The Campus Belle, Song Yiyi.
Fatty thought of that beautiful girl who seemed otherworldly. She had awakened her Supernatural Ability since childhood, and her ability level was judged to be S-Class.
As long as she was given enough room to grow, Perhaps in the future, this entire continent would have legends about her.
He never expected that such a beautiful and powerful girl would come from the Guardian Family.
So, Principal Song must also be from the Guardian Family.
Thinking this, Fatty immediately stood up. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly call Zhang Banxian and go to the Song Family to ask where the Super S-Class Demonic Beast's main body is!"
"That might be difficult."
Jiang Chen continued, "I'm afraid the Song Family won't tell me."
"Why? Are they that stingy?"
"It's not about being stingy, it's that we are probably enemies now!"
Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Fatty felt lost again. He asked, "Brother Chen, why do you say that?"
"The Principal died by my hand."
What? Brother Chen killed the Principal? How could this be...
"That's impossible!" Fatty denied. "This isn't true. If Brother Chen really did it, he must have had his reasons."
"The Principal was possessed by a demon and beyond saving."
Jiang Chen didn't want to hide it from Fatty. Even if he didn't say it now, Fatty would find out sooner or later.
It was better for him to explain it himself than for someone else to tell him.
"Then it's not Brother Chen's fault! Brother Chen definitely didn't want this to happen, and besides, if there were other options, Brother Chen wouldn't have done it."
Fatty had boundless trust in Jiang Chen.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen shook his head. "The Song Family probably won't think that way."
Jiang Chen didn't know why he said that, but he just felt that way.
At this moment, the Song Family had undergone a complete upheaval.
Song Yiyi stood in the family's conference room and explained the whole story.
Just as she was about to talk about her grandfather being eaten by the Demon's Heart and gradually turning into a demon, she was interrupted by a family elder.
"Yiyi, you need evidence. Eldest Brother has always been decisive and would never sell his soul to a demon."
Song Yiyi took a deep breath, holding back her tears.
She didn't want to believe it, but the facts were right in front of her, leaving her no choice but to accept them.
She took out the surveillance footage from the Principal's office and said, "This clearly records it. Grandpa really fell!"
The five elders clearly didn't believe it. Their eldest brother was the strongest among them and the most righteous. The idea that he would fall and become a demon was as impossible as the sun rising from the west—it was simply unheard of.
The Second Elder, Song Tianshan, skeptically took the recording and projected it onto the wall using a projector.
From the projected content, they could clearly see the scene of Principal Song completely transforming into a demon.
"This, how is this possible!"
After a long silence, the Second Elder, Song Tianshan, repeatedly shook his head. "Big Brother is confused. How could he do such a thing? It's a disgrace to the family."
Song Yiyi wanted to say something. She moved her lips but ultimately remained silent.
At this moment, the Third Elder, Song Huaishan, stepped forward and said, "Now that Big Brother is no longer with us, the position of family head cannot remain vacant. Our Song Family needs someone to lead. I propose that Second Brother take over as family head. He is the eldest and most senior among us brothers."
Hearing this, Song Yiyi's face turned pale. She clenched her fists and said, "I disagree. Grandpa appointed me as the family heir before he died. Although Second Grandpa is the oldest in the family, I am the heir to this family."
"A descendant tainted by a demon, already bearing a stain, how can such a person inherit the Song Family?"
Song Huaishan immediately retorted.
The other elders also nodded in agreement.
Signaling their approval!
"I said it before, Grandpa made me the family heir before he died and tasked me with protecting the Song Family. You can't just turn your backs on this because Grandpa is dead."
"General Pagoda is a witness." Song Yiyi never imagined that these people, whom she considered elders and family, would now unite to oppose her.
At this moment, she finally seemed to understand why Grandpa was willing to fall and become a demon just to survive.
These so-called relatives were not relatives at all; they were wolves!
If she hadn't had Grandpa's protection, she didn't know what kind of miserable life she would be living in this home.
"Girl Song, we've watched you grow up. We admit you have the ability to inherit the Song Family. But Big Brother chose to fall and become a demon himself. How can the descendant of such a person be qualified to inherit the position of Song Family head?"
The Third Elder, Song Huaishan, stood on the moral high ground, preparing to attack Song Yiyi.
Having never experienced anything like this before, Song Yiyi was at a loss for what to do. She looked at her grandfathers and uncles, who had once shown her kindness, but their expressions had now become those of strangers.
In some ways, they seemed more like enemies.
Someone stepped forward and said, "Girl Song, hand over the Purple Ring. You are not qualified to be the heir."
As one person spoke, many began to chime in. "Yes, Girl Song, you are not qualified for the position of Song Family head."
"Just hand over the Purple Ring!"
Song Yiyi took a step back, looking at their strange and disgusting faces. She finally couldn't hold back her outburst and cried out, "Are you even my family anymore!"
