Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#418 - Chapter 417 Are You Threatening Me?

"Twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two. Twenty-two cards, that should be worth several hundred thousand Star Points!"

Li Chenqiu hefted the heavy student cards in his hand, a satisfied smile on his face.

He would exchange all these Star Points for Revival Beasts right away, lest something unexpected happen and ruin his plans.

"Stop!!!"

Just then, a deep, thunderous voice echoed from the entrance of the Myriad Stars Building, reverberating in everyone's ears.

"Hmm?"

Li Chenqiu raised his head in confusion, looking towards the source of the sound. He saw a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, exuding an indescribable air of nobility.

This man was Zhou Luo, the biological father of Zhou Yaoguang, and also the Vice-Lord of the Myriad Stars Building.

Behind him were several men in security uniforms, the staff responsible for maintaining order in the Myriad Stars Building.

Upon seeing the newcomers, the surrounding students quickly stepped aside, clearing a wide path.

Zhou Luo's view was now unobstructed, allowing him to see the ongoing fight... or rather, the ongoing beating.

When he saw his son, Zhou Yaoguang, lying in a pool of blood, being kicked mercilessly by several Soul Soldiers, Zhou Luo's blood rushed to his head, his face instantly turning red with fury. He roared again, "Stop! Can't you hear me!"

"Dad! Save me!!!" Zhou Yaoguang screamed, his dim eyes gradually regaining their light.

Li Chenqiu stood up and said softly, "Stop for now."

Hearing this, the Soul Soldiers uniformly ceased their actions, obediently standing aside and surrounding Zhou Yaoguang and the others.

"Son!"

Zhou Luo shouted, about to step forward, when a sharp sonic boom suddenly filled the air. Everyone's vision blurred, and when they looked at the scene again,

they saw a Soul Soldier abruptly appear, blocking Zhou Luo's path. Crimson eyes looked down at him, sending a chill down his spine.

Although Zhou Luo held a high position, his strength was not great, only at the Eighth Restriction level. His ability to become the Vice-Lord of the Myriad Stars Building was mainly due to his powerful background.

"This Soul Soldier is my former colleague, Huang Jianhua. If you don't want to be sent flying, feel free to move forward," Li Chenqiu gestured.

Zhou Luo gritted his teeth and glanced at Zhou Yaoguang's direction. Seeing that he was not currently being beaten by the group, he turned his gaze to Li Chenqiu, his face grim. "Li Chenqiu, you've gone too far. Release my son!"

"Son?" Li Chenqiu feigned realization. "So you're the dad that Zhou Yaoguang always talks about!"

"Dad! Save me! This guy is completely insane! He wants to beat me to death!" Zhou Yaoguang cried out again.

Hearing this, Zhou Luo clenched his fists, suppressing the anger rising in his heart. "Now that you know my identity, you should understand who you've offended.

Release my son and publicly apologize and make amends, and you can still buy whatever you want in the Myriad Stars Building. Otherwise... all the shops in the Myriad Stars Building will refuse to sell you anything."

Li Chenqiu's expression was slightly surprised. "Are you threatening me?" he asked.

Zhou Luo narrowed his eyes. "You can think of it that way."

Li Chenqiu paused for a moment, then burst out laughing in front of everyone. "Hahaha, you're really making me laugh. Keep hitting him. Beat Zhou Yaoguang until he can't get out of bed for two years."

"As you command!"

The Soul Soldiers responded in unison, continuing their all-out beating of Zhou Yaoguang and the others.

Zhou Yaoguang screamed in terror, "Dad, save me!!!"

Hearing his son's cry, Zhou Luo's eyes turned red, and he was about to step forward, but when he saw Huang Jianhua, he obediently retracted his foot.

Although he was certain that Li Chenqiu wouldn't dare to attack him, after all, attacking a college official was a serious crime, and could even lead to suspension if dealt with severely,

what if? What if the other party acted impulsively and attacked him?

Zhou Luo didn't dare to gamble. He was, after all, the Vice-Lord of the Myriad Stars Building, and he still had to maintain some dignity.

"Li Chenqiu, you're too naive. Do you think that just because you have a Ninth Restriction Soul Soldier, you can do whatever you want in Star Picking Academy?!" Zhou Luo's voice was hoarse.

"Yes, you're right. I am naive. I treat those who treat me well with sincerity, and I will make those who dare to step on my head to climb up pay a very, very painful price."

As he spoke, Li Chenqiu raised his arm, and the beating immediately stopped. "Don't worry, I won't let your son be in any life-threatening danger. After all, I'm also a member of Star Picking Academy, but..."

His tone changed, and he continued, "The extent of your son's injuries, and how long he has to lie in bed, will be decided by me."

Zhou Luo wasn't stupid and naturally understood the deeper meaning of Li Chenqiu's words. He directly asked, "What do you want?"

Li Chenqiu's eyes curved into a smile. "I don't want much. Just ten Fifth Restriction Revival Beasts will do. Buying them with Star Points would only cost a few hundred thousand. As the Vice-Lord of the Myriad Stars Building, that shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

As Li Chenqiu said, ten Fifth Restriction Revival Beasts were indeed not difficult for Zhou Luo, so he didn't think much and agreed through gritted teeth.

"Alright."

"Thank you. Everyone, disperse!"

Upon receiving the order, the Soul Soldiers transformed into black smoke and dissipated into the air.

"Um... Vice-Lord Zhou, just a reminder, it's best not to play any tricks on me, or use any underhanded means to deal with me openly, unless you don't plan to let Zhou Yaoguang study at Star Picking Academy anymore."

Li Chenqiu kindly reminded him.

Zhou Luo glared at Li Chenqiu fiercely, then quickly walked to Zhou Yaoguang and knelt down, helping him up from the pool of blood.

At this time, Zhou Yaoguang's face was completely disfigured. His mouth was pressed together like two starch sausages, his nose was tilted to the left, and his eyes were swollen like soup dumplings.

Looking down, all that could be seen were injuries. There was basically no intact place. He was extremely miserable. It would probably take months or even a year to fully recover.

"Dad, he hit me!"

Two lines of tears flowed from Zhou Yaoguang's eyes.

"Dad is here, don't be afraid!" Zhou Luo hugged Zhou Yaoguang's head tightly in his arms and said to him in a low voice, "Dad will definitely avenge you!"

"Yes!" Zhou Yaoguang nodded heavily.

...

Afterwards, under Zhou Luo's organization, all the students who had been beaten by Li Chenqiu were sent to the hospital, and he himself went to the hospital to be with the seriously injured Zhou Yaoguang.

Li Chenqiu also received the ten Fifth Restriction Revival Beasts as he wished. What surprised him was that these ten Fifth Restriction Revival Beasts were not in the shape of beasts, but rather neatly processed, three-dimensional square meat cubes, less than a quarter of a cubic meter in size!

"You can choose to have us store and keep them, or tell us a location, and we will deliver them within an hour."

"Star Picking Residence, Number 72," Li Chenqiu gave the address of his villa.

His villa had a special icehouse for storing Revival Beasts.

After doing all this, Li Chenqiu returned to the Myriad Stars Building and pulled out twenty-two student cards from his pocket.

"Hopefully, they'll give me a surprise!"
