"Ha!" Jiang Fan's sneer was full of sarcasm. He bumped into Jin Kai with his shoulder and walked straight ahead.
hateful!!!
Jin Kai was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he had never suffered such humiliation before.
However, after meeting Jiang Fan, she was humiliated by him time and time again.
Zhou Yanchen and the fat man caught up with Jiang Fan.
" Brother Fan, why didn't you teach that guy a lesson earlier?"
"Teach him a lesson? The principal is still there, in full view of everyone. Without conclusive evidence that Shan Taixiao was the mastermind behind it all, how can we teach him a lesson?" Jiang Fan retorted.
"Too."
Although the fat man was very unhappy, he had to admit that Jiang Fan was right.
"Besides, even if he admitted it, so what? There's no rule against sponsoring students who participate in Life-and-Death Arena," Jiang Fan added.
Zhou Yanchen chimed in, "Then tell Master Li about this? Let him seek justice for you?"
Jiang Fan shook his head. "If I wanted that Crazy Old Man to step in, I would have already sent him to teach Jin Changfeng a lesson. As long as Jin Changfeng doesn't openly step forward, this will just be a squabble between the younger generation."
The scene changes.
The Jin Family.
Jin Changfeng stared at the video recording on his phone, while Jin Kai angrily recounted the humiliation he had suffered.
"Grandpa! You must avenge me! I've never suffered such injustice in my entire life. And my cousin's grudge can't be left like this!"
After watching the video, Jin Changfeng put down his phone, his old eyes narrowed, their expression unreadable.
Jin Kai, who was in the middle of a long-winded rant, suddenly noticed that his grandfather's expression was off and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Grandpa? What are you thinking about?"
Jin Changfeng remained silent for two seconds before speaking again.
"I heard that Jiang Fan used to be nothing but a piece of trash in Fortress No. 31, with qi and blood weaker than an elementary school student. What kind of opportunity did he obtain to allow his strength to break through to such an incredible level? The Early-Stage Fourth Rank! He hasn't even finished his first semester of university, and he's already broken through to the Early-Stage Fourth Rank. That's truly unheard of."
"Then why not arrest him and interrogate him thoroughly?"
Jin Changfeng rejected Jin Kai's suggestion without even thinking about it.
"This matter cannot be handled by our Jin Family, at least not openly, and I certainly cannot get involved."
Are you worried that Master Li will blame you?
"Well, although I don't know why Master Li is so concerned about that kid, he is, after all, someone Master Li wants to protect, so our Jin Family can't refuse to give him face."
"But if he dies, surely Master Li wouldn't blame the Jin Family for a dead man?"
"Whether Master Li will blame us or not is a gamble we can't afford, and a mere kid who hasn't even grown up yet isn't worthy of our gamble. Besides, you still need to find a way to curry favor with Master Li's disciple. Last time, because of Jiang Fan, you displeased Master Li. If we kill Jiang Fan again, then you can forget about currying favor with Master Li's disciple for good."
Jin Kai understood this principle, but he was still unhappy, and Jin Changfeng naturally noticed it as well.
"Don't worry, my grandson Jin Changfeng is not one to suffer a loss, especially since that little beast killed my grandson Jin Yi. This revenge must be taken!"
Just then, a servant came in to report.
"Patriarch, Li Yanhe, the patriarch of the Li Family, is gathering all his forces to deal with Jiang Fan."
"What's going on?" Jin Kai was stunned.
"Hahaha--" Jin Changfeng laughed a few times, looking at Jin Kai, "I had someone secretly spread the news that Jiang Fan had already broken through to the Early-Stage Fourth Rank. What do you think Li Yanhe will think when he hears this news?"
Jin Kai's eyes lit up, and his voice was excited.
" Li Zhichao has been missing for so long, he must be dead. The Li Family already suspected that Jiang Fan was the one who secretly killed him, but they had no evidence."
Later, Li Zhichao's father, Li Renfeng, died in a private room at an entertainment club. They never suspected Jiang Fan because at that time Jiang Fan's strength was still very low, and it was impossible for him to kill Li Renfeng.
But today, Jiang Fan, with his strength at the Early-Stage Fourth Rank, easily defeated Shan Taixiao Middle-Stage Fifth Rank.
Although Shan Taixiao's Middle-Stage Fifth Rank martial arts level was barely raised with the help of the Qi Burst Pill, and his foundation was unstable, he was still a genuine Middle-Stage Fifth Rank Martial Artist.
It's simply impossible for Early-Stage Fourth Rank to defeat High-Stage Fifth Rank.
Jiang Fan, however, succeeded, and did so in full view of everyone. Naturally, Li Yanhe would be linked to Jiang Fan as the murderer of Li Renfeng.
"That's right. To convince Li Yanhe, I even secretly spread the word that Jiang Fan had been at the scene of the death," Jin Changfeng said.
" Li Yanhe and Hui Xin?" Jin Kai asked.
"That old man, don't let his dignified demeanor fool you, he's actually ruthless! Regardless of the truth, if he has enough evidence, he'd rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."
"That's great! Jiang Fan, let's see how you die this time!"
Back home.
Jiang Fan immediately opened the system panel.

Life-saving trump card: Unlock? (Hint: Danger!!!)
Um?
"A life-saving trump card?"
Jiang Fan was originally planning to think carefully about where to add the remaining points for the best value, but he was attracted by the last column.
When did this appear?
Could it be that while he was wreaking havoc in the Outer Wilderness Zone, he accidentally caused the system to upgrade?
His doubts didn't last more than a few seconds before the system thoughtfully provided the answer.
[My owner is so clever, they guessed it right away. Hehe~]
Hehe, my foot!
Jiang Fan was too lazy to complain and focused his attention back on the "life-saving trump card" section.
A life-saving trump card, as the name suggests, is used to save one's life.
But what's with the danger warning followed by three exclamation marks?
"Does this mean there will be side effects to using this trump card?"
[Yes, Master, you are as clever as ever.]
Jiang Fan "..."
What exactly are the side effects?
[Hehe, I can't say that. You'll find out when you need it.]
"Heh, it won't kill you if you use it, will it?" Jiang Fan didn't even bother to roll his eyes.
[Since it's a life-saving trump card, it naturally won't let its master die.]
That's alright.
As long as you don't die, there's a chance.
Of course, he would never use this trump card unless it was a last resort, a life-or-death crisis.
What conditions are required to unlock it?
Even though he knew this trump card would be risky and he didn't plan to use it lightly, he was always just in case. What if he needed to use it?
It's good to know the rules in advance.
