Chapter 776: Only One Skill

Punishment!

Upon hearing that, Zhuang Lao Taijun and Zhuang Hao were left in despair. Going against the demigod was their biggest mistake. Rendered with no other option, they could wait for Zhuang Bufan to come here. Elder Su was an expert in body movement techniques - allowing him to move faster than a car. Within seconds, Zhuang Bufan was brought to Chen Xiaobei. Other than him, Zhuang Jiuxiao and the assassin were forced to come along with him as well.

"W-what the hell is going on... Why are my grandma and father are kneeling on the ground?"

Zhuang Bufan was taken aback. He had never seen and would not imagine that they would kneel before someone. On the other hand, the assassin was equally shocked as well. Clearly, he knew that the Zhuang Family was so powerful that they would never succumb to anyone. However, the thing that he witnessed said otherwise.

"It's him!"

Immediately, Zhuang Jiuxiao was left in bewilderment when he saw Chen Xiaobei was standing there. This was not the first time for him to witness his family members kneel in front of Chen Xiaobei. During the last incident, they were forced to slap their own faces while kneeling down. That was the kind of scene that he would never forget until the day he died.

"Why are we kneeling down here? You should ask yourself," said Chen Xiaobei while looking at Zhuang Bufan disdainfully.

"Eh? Why is this son of a bitch here?" scolded Zhuang Bufan.

"Shut up! You idiot! You have caused enough trouble for us! Elder Su! Slap him!" said Zhuang Lao Taijun.

"Huh?"

Taken aback, Zhuang Bufan did not know what just happened. Before he realized it, a big slap had already landed on his face. The force delivered by Elder Su's slap was so powerful that Zhuang Bufan was sent lying on the ground.

*Blarrgghh*

Promptly, Zhuang Bufan coughed out a mouthful of warm blood when he turned his head.

"W-why did you hit me?"

"And you have the gut to ask me this question? You were plotting to kill Demigod Chen! The trouble that you caused almost killed the entire family! Why do you have to act in such an innocent manner?"

"Chen? Demigod Chen? Could it be him?"

Zhuang Bufan looked at Chen Xiaobei in shock. Immediately, all the things that he believed in crumbled. Initially, he refused to believe that Chen Xiaobei was a demigod. Seeing his grandma and father kneeling down in front of Chen Xiaobei and the front yard was completely destroyed, he had no reason to not believe that Chen Xiaobei was not the real deal.

"No! I'm innocent! Innocent! This whole thing was plotted by Zhuang Jiuxiao! He is the one that hired the assassin! He is the one that paid the money! He coaxed me to drop a worm in Director Zhou's drink! This is his plan! I shouldn't be the one to be blamed!"

Considering that Zhuang Bufan and Zhuang Jiuxiao were not in good terms, Zhuang Bufan sold Zhuang Jiuxiao out without any hesitation. Upon hearing that, everyone shifted their attention to Zhuang Jiuxiao. Judging from the statement made by Zhuang Bufan, everyone realized that it actually made sense! Zhuang Jiuxiao was there during the last encounter with Chen Xiaobei. He also never believed that Chen Xiaobei was the real deal. All this time, he was thinking and planning ways to force him to reveal his real identity.

The most important thing was the assassin that was standing right beside him. With the Zhuang Family's power, they could easily find out who was the one that hired the assassin.

Knowing that he could not get away from this, Zhuang Jiuxiao gritted his teeth.

"Grandma! Listen to me! I'm willing to swear on my life that this bastard right here is no demigod!"

"Shut up! If you have a death wish, don't bring your family down with you! Since everyone is here, I'm going to make an announcement that you are no longer part of the Zhuang Family! From this moment onward, we want nothing to do with you!"

"What?!"

Not only Zhuang Jiuxiao, everyone around them was baffled. All this while, Zhuang Jiuxiao was known as the number one genius in the family. Since young, the family had invested a lot of resources in him - hoping that he would become the left and right hand of the family. No one would expect that Zhuang Lao Taijun would make such a decision. In order to protect the entire family, she was willing to cut off all the connections they had with Zhuang Jiuxiao.

Without the ability to make such decisions, Zhuang Lao Taijun would not be able to make sure that the family would continue to grow. Although she was just a woman, she was equipped with the ability to make tough and brutal decisions. Even Chen Xiaobei was impressed by the move she made.

"Grandma! How can you do this to me? Can't you just believe me? Just once! Just attack him! And his real identity will be exposed!"

Crumbling down, there was no way that Zhuang Jiuxiao could accept such fate. In his mind, he was sure that Chen Xiaobei was no demigod. However, he could not figure out why his grandma refused to believe in him no matter what he did.

"Jiuxiao! Zhuang Lao Taijun is the pillar of this family! She always looks at the bigger picture before she makes any decision! You need to understand that!"

The thing that Elder Su just said seemed fine. However, he did emphasize the sentence 'you need to understand that'.

Stunned, Zhuang Jiuxiao finally understood what Elder Su was trying to tell him.

"I understand now! From this moment onwards! The Zhuang Family has nothing to do with me! I will bear full responsibility!"

"Hehe... So, are you going to sacrifice for your family?" asked Chen Xiaobei in a playful manner.

In truth, Elder Su actually had a secret intention when he talked to Zhuang Jiuxiao. With Zhuang Jiuxiao being cut off from the family, anything that he did had nothing to do with the family. Now, he could do whatever he wanted to do to Chen Xiaobei and the Zhuang Family would not be part of it. Chen Xiaobei would be forced to reveal his real identity if Zhuang Jiuxiao attacked him. By that time, the Zhuang Family would definitely work together to kill him.

In other words, Zhuang Lao Taijun was using her grandson as a bargaining chip. Chen Xiaobei knew their plan but he chose not to call them out on it.

"Azure Witch! I'm willing to pay you triple to kill that bastard! Work together with me to force that son of a bitch to reveal his true identity! Today we are going to end him!"

"Okay! I will take this deal! I don't believe there are demigods in this world! Even if there is a demigod, he would not be that young!"

Azure Witch licked his lips as greed could be seen reflected from his eyes.

"Demigod Chen! Do you dare to fight with me?!" said Zhuang Jiuxiao.

"Heh... I'm not going to move my hands and legs! I'm not going to use my True Kang as well! And if I can't kill the two of you with a single skill - I will call myself a loser!"
