“Brother Eric has long known that this bastard’s strength has broken through the Transformed Period?” Yon Zhou couldn’t help asking. Three months ago, Eric Zhou suddenly announced the successor of Zhou’s Family.
At that time, everyone thought that Eric would choose one of his sons to be Zhou’s Family’s heir.
Unexpectedly, Eric chose an illegitimate child to be the heir of Zhou’s Family.
There was no doubt that Eric’s choice caused an uproar in Zhou’s Family.
Almost all of the other dozen heads of Zhou’s Family raised objections.
But in the end, it was rejected by Eric.
Unlike other prominent families, in Zhou’s Family, Eric had absolute control over Zhou’s Family. What he said was the golden rule, and even General Zhou would not refute it.
In the past, people still couldn’t understand why Eric made an illegitimate child the heir of Zhou’s Family.
At the moment, after Yon said this, many people suddenly woke up. Eric probably knew about Robin’s strength long ago.
That was the real reason why Robin Zhou, an illegitimate child, was the heir of Zhou’s Family!
“Brother Eric might be determined to make the bastards inherit Zhou’s Family.” Yon was sullen. Eric let an illegitimate child inherit Zhou’s Family, and Yon didn’t know what Eric thought.
“Eric still has half a month to go through. So, why don’t we…”
At this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in fancy clothes suddenly opened her mouth and suggested. Although she didn’t finish her words, all the people in the hall knew her meaning.
To kill Robin before Eric went out!
At that time, even if Eric was dissatisfied, he couldn’t trouble so many people for a dead man.
“No way.” Bowie Zhou shook his head.
“Not to mention that the bastard has now broken through to the early stage of the Transformed Period, and we can’t kill him at all.”
“Even if we can kill him …” Bowie continued, “Do you think that if we kill him, Brother Eric will not kill us?”
Looking at Bowie’s eyes, other people couldn’t help shivering.
Yes, Eric might kill them!
They were nominally brothers and sisters with Eric, but they were not related by blood. They only have the same father.
But in a large family, this kind of half-brother relationship was the most tricky.
“Brother Bowie, is there a possibility that Robin is what big Brother used to fish with us?” Yon swallowed saliva and asked.
When he talked about fishing, he meant that Robin was the bait, they were fish, and Eric was the fisherman.
Once they killed Robin, they swallowed the bait.
At that time, Eric could dispose of them at will.
“Be cautious.” Bowie took a stern look at Yon. Yon’s martial arts realm only reached the late period of the Obscure Period. He didn’t understand what the words of Martial Arts Grandmaster meant.
Even if Eric was practicing in the back hill, it was not difficult for him to hear what everyone said.
After Bowie stared at him, Yon brought out in a cold sweat.
“Brother Eric won’t do this, and he doesn’t need it,” Bowie spoke in a calm voice. In his view, what Yon said about fishing was pure nonsense.
With Eric’s present strength, there was no need to use Robin as bait.
If he wanted to kill them, it’s just a matter of thought, and using Robin as bait was superfluous.
“Then what should we do now? Let that waste make a name for himself, and then come back and take charge of Zhou’s Family?” Yon Zhou asked with some impatience. Today, many people of Zhou’s Family were most afraid that Robin would be in charge of Zhou’s Family because when Shay Su was in Zhou’s Family, they mistreated her–Robin’s mother.
If Robin was in charge of the Zhou’s Family, the first thing Robin would do was to get back at them.
“We can’t do anything now, at least openly, we can’t deal with that bastard.”
“Because many people in the outside world now know our relationship with that bastard. There are already many eyes staring at us. At this time, if we openly deal with that bastard, we will inevitably become the target of public criticism.” Bowie calmly analyzed.
“However, although we can’t do it, we can use the relationship we have against that bastard.”
“Brother Bowie, what do you mean?”
“I have a little friendship with the leader of the Jing Family. After the bastard became famous in the Martial Arts World, the Jing Family’s leader will inevitably send someone down the mountain to challenge the bastard. In the process of the challenge, if something happens, that’s none of our business. “Bowie sneered. He could, more or less, guess Eric’s intention.
Eric didn’t use Robin as bait and didn’t use them as fish.
Eric wanted to make them the grindstones of Robin!
He wanted to make Robin a sharp and unparalleled treasure knife!
Although Bowie didn’t know what Eric’s intention was in turning Robin into a treasured knife, he knew very well that Eric would never blame him as long as he dealt with Robin within the scope permitted by the rules.
Therefore, the descendant of the Jing Family was the right choice.
“Jing’s Family?” Yon was surprised–the Jing Family was an ancient family practicing martial arts. Unlike the noble family like Zhou’s Family, the ancient families like the Jing Family didn’t have much industry in the secular world, and they only concentrated on studying martial arts.
They were a group of pure fighters.
Pure often meant strong.
Generally speaking, the strength of this ancient family’s descendants was much higher than that of their peers in the Martial Arts World.
What they were best at was fighting over different stages.
Although Robin’s strength was at the beginning of the Transformed Period, the Jing Family’s descendants might kill him easily.
Robin didn’t know that the martial arts world began to surge undercurrent because of his reasons.
At this time, Robin was concentrating on cultivation, and it was almost half a year since he advanced to the early stage of the Transformed Period.
And, his strength was not yet stable.
Now what he had to do was to stabilize thoroughly and then look for an opportunity to break through the middle stage of the Transformed Period.
It would typically take at least five years for a Martial Artist to break through from the early stage to the middle stage.
Robin wanted to shorten the breakthrough time by half to two years.
If he could do it, he was entitled to return to Zhou’s Family to get back something that originally belonged to him.
Now he was still too weak.
