Chapter 702: Chapter 520: No Satisfaction in Revenge

Ever since submitting his resume, Gong Shan would log in to the Martial Artist forum first thing every morning to check if there were any new messages in the background.

He would log in once or twice every half hour, totaling over a hundred times a day.

Even though he had set up notifications to alert him when a message was received, he still couldn’t help it; it had become a habit.

He really wanted to join the Avengers Alliance.

It wasn’t just simple admiration but also because it was crucial for his sister’s recovery.

Gong Shan knew that many forces would be interested in his sister due to her uniqueness.

But he didn’t want his sister to become a tool for experiments.

Compared to other forces, he trusted the Avengers Alliance more.

Although he submitted his resume, Gong Shan didn’t have much hope.

Because he knew his own strength.

The number of people wanting to join the Avengers Alliance was countless, not to mention the geniuses and demon fiends; it’s said many Glory Players, even Kings, had submitted their resumes.

Could he compete with these people?

He was just a dropout high school senior, not even a Martial Artist. What qualifications did he have to join?

He hadn’t even reached the most basic threshold.

Even if his sister was special, her strength wasn’t outstanding, so he wasn’t confident either.

Think about the current members of the Avengers Alliance: Lin Feng, Yu Qiao, He Jun, Yue Mingming, Chen Tianming, Yang Ningbing, Dong Yunan, Yun Kai, Ye Qiu, Zhan Tianyu, Huang Tianze, Bu Yuanlong, Ye Xing, Yun Tianqi, Bing.

Fifteen members, leaving aside their strength, eight of them had refined Earth Chart Demon Spirits, two had refined Ninth Tier Demon Spirits, two were Therapists, and one was a Summoner.

As for He Jun, although his Demon Spirit was unknown, his special abilities were a hot topic worldwide.

In the Avengers Alliance, if judged by Demon Spirit levels, the one with the poorest talent would be Lin Feng, who refined a One Tier Dragon Fish.

But as the leader and core of the Alliance, was his talent truly lacking?

If it lacked, how could he have absorbed two Divine Level Soul Skills?

Lin Feng’s apparent strength was Eighth Grade.

At 21 years old, being Eighth Grade was only possible with He Jun’s help due to such insane cultivation speed.

But whether it’s the media or fans, they all think Lin Feng is always in disguise, far more than just this surface strength.

His strength might be even greater than Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing, second only to Bu Yuanlong!

The lineup of the Avengers Alliance was luxuriously inhumane.

According to the media, just these fifteen people could form a top-ten All-Star team.

There might even be some leftover.

Like his peers, or rather like most students, Gong Shan grew up watching matches of Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi, with his room full of posters of them.

They were Gong Shan’s idols.

To become teammates with Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing?

That was something he didn’t even dare to dream of.

Could he possibly join such an alliance?

The gap between him and these people was like worlds apart, not even in the same realm.

Submitting his resume was more like trying his luck with a lottery.

Even if the probability was one in ten thousand, it was negligible.

But what if it happened?

"You all..."

The surprise came so suddenly that, even with Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing standing in front of him, Gong Shan still found it hard to believe.

Receiving a message alone would have filled Gong Shan with immense joy; he never imagined Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing would personally come to pick him up.

This kind of treatment made his blood boil, his emotions unable to settle down for a long time.

"Gong Shan?"

Yun Tianqi spoke. Although the tone was questioning, he had already confirmed Gong Shan’s identity because Gong Shan’s resume was detailed, including not only the address but also a photo, a colored one at that.

Yun Tianqi observed Gong Shan, about 173 cm in height, ordinary in appearance, with several pimples on his face; it was unclear if it was due to staying up late or stress, as his mental state seemed not that good.

He looked just like a very ordinary high school student.

He quickly shifted his attention to Gong Shan’s sister.

Gong Shan was always holding his sister; Gong Xiaoxiao buried her head in her brother’s arms, revealing only a back view, so nothing could be seen.

From her aura, she seemed no different from a normal little girl.

"I am Gong Shan!"

Gong Shan hastily nodded in response, his voice slightly shaky and stuttering due to nervousness.

"What is this?"

Yun Tianqi noticed the suitcase stuck in Gong Shan’s hand and the empty villa hall behind him, guessing a little.

He glanced at Chen Zong; this guy had clearly been fooling them earlier.

Chen Zong seemed unaware of Yun Tianqi’s gaze, his expression calm.

The two in front exuded an uncommon aura, making them seem hard to provoke; although their visages couldn’t be seen due to cap-wearing, they inexplicably felt familiar to him.

Despite some apprehension, he wasn’t too afraid.

By daring to seize something forcefully, he had naturally investigated Gong Shan’s background, finding no threat from him.

Moreover, to prevent problems, he had made some arrangements financially.

Having been in Zhouyun City for thirty years, he had his connections, and not just anyone could easily handle him.

Yet, to avoid trouble, he refrained from speaking at this moment.

Compared to Chen Zong’s composure, the bodyguard behind him had a fluctuating expression, his body tense; the presence of these two, whether in momentum or physique, gave him a sense of facing strong opponents.

Especially that person who remained silent, despite not speaking, his mere beast-like physique was full of pressure.

He felt as if facing a formidable enemy, ready to flee at any moment.

Yes, if a fight broke out, he was prepared to escape immediately.

He had no intention of engaging in battle.

He possessed the strength of a Fifth Grade Martial Artist, which wasn’t weak, but he didn’t even have the courage to face these two.

"Need help?"

Yun Tianqi tilted the brim of his hat down, asking softly.

The fact that Lin Feng personally welcomed them after standing out from thousands of resumes is enough to prove his regard for Gong Shan.

As long as the resume is not fake, Gong Shan has a significant chance of becoming the seventeenth member of the Avengers Alliance.

Although Gong Shan is only eighteen years old and not even a Martial Artist, Yun Tianqi will not underestimate him.

The mere fact that Lin Feng is interested in him proves his value.

As for strength, it’s crucial for other forces, but not for the Avengers Alliance.

With He Jun’s help, they can quickly enhance Gong Shan’s capabilities.

Moreover, they are not interested in Gong Shan but in his sister.

Gong Xiaoxiao has merged with the Infant Spirit and now possesses Two Grade combat strength; her growth rate is naturally remarkable.

Upon hearing Yun Tianqi’s inquiry, Gong Shan’s expression brightened.

Even though Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing appeared, it didn’t automatically mean he could join the Avengers Alliance.

Surely there would be a test.

A test of his sister’s abilities, and only by passing it could he join.

Originally, he wanted to solve the issue with Chen Zong after successfully passing the test, but Yun Tianqi intended to help now, which naturally was better to resolve immediately.

Even if the test fails, he wouldn’t be left with nothing.

Pointing at Chen Zong, Gong Shan tried to remain calm, but his tone revealed a hint of anger:

"After my parents died, the company they built was taken over by him, and today he wants to drive my sister and me out of our home."

"What do you mean taken over by me? I was also a partner in the company. The company was already going bankrupt, and this villa was mortgaged."

Chen Zong said with a very serious expression.

"The company’s main business is snacks; how could it go bankrupt? Even if it has been affected for the past half month, it wouldn’t go bankrupt so quickly, let alone need to mortgage this villa. This is our home; we’ve lived here for over ten years. My parents would never have mortgaged it!"

Gong Shan angrily retorted.

"You’re still a child; how would you understand the company’s financial issues? Your parents wouldn’t have told you."

Chen Zong continued to argue, slightly spreading his hands as if somewhat helpless.

If it weren’t for Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing’s intimidation, he wouldn’t bother explaining.

"No need to say so much; what do you want to do?"

Yun Tianqi directly asked Gong Shan, indifferent to the complexities.

He didn’t care.

"Friend, what’s the meaning of this..."

Chen Zong asked.

But Yun Tianqi completely ignored him, not even glancing at him.

Chen Zong was angry but somewhat intimidated.

This attitude of disregard, more than threats, made him uneasy.

He glanced at the bodyguards behind him, who shook their heads with expressions showing clear fear.

This made him even more uneasy, and finally, he could only use his gaze to intimidate Gong Shan into silence.

But Gong Shan no longer feared him; seeing his threatening eyes, Gong Shan glared back:

"I want to take back the company my parents built and this villa, then bankrupt him, turning him into a pauper."

"I thought you wanted me to kill him."

Yun Tianqi chuckled, his teasing tone chilling Chen Zong’s heart, causing his limbs to feel icy.

In business, observing and discerning is a basic skill. Chen Zong, with assets worth billions, was naturally no fool.

He could sense that the two before him didn’t care about him at all.

Except for the initial inquiry, they were unwilling to give him another glance.

They only asked Gong Shan’s opinion, completely unconcerned with his financial capabilities or power.

And the seemingly joking statement just now seemed not merely idle talk.

"Are they relatives? But his relatives on the data file are all ordinary people?"

At this point, Chen Zong began doubting the authenticity of the information he researched.

"Just let him become a pauper."

Gong Shan shook his head.

Although he loathed Chen Zong, Gong Shan believed that the other party’s crimes didn’t warrant death.

After all, Chen Zong only forcefully seized assets without directly threatening him and his sister’s lives.

Since Chen Zong loved money so much, turning him into a pauper would be the best punishment.

"Alright, then let’s go."

Yun Tianqi said, casually picking up Gong Shan’s luggage.

"Thank you."

Gong Shan bowed with his sister in his arms, expressing gratitude.

He turned back and glanced at the villa, his gaze lingering for a moment, and then slowly closed the door.

He didn’t ask Yun Tianqi how he would do it; he just knew Chen Zong’s end would be miserable.

Because the Avengers Alliance is not only a super-genius gathering but also a top-level force backed by various noble families and conglomerates.

Without Yun Tianqi’s personal intervention, just one word from him would have someone turn Chen Zong into a pauper.

In the presence of the Avengers Alliance, Chen Zong is merely an ant-like figure.

Gong Shan originally wanted revenge, fantasizing in his mind multiple times.

But for some reason, at this moment, there was little sense of revenge’s fulfillment. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Perhaps because the process was too easy.

Or perhaps because he was about to join the Avengers Alliance.

Compared to joining the Avengers Alliance, money seemed less important.

Silently watching Gong Shan leave with the other two, Chen Zong’s body uncontrollably trembled.

He didn’t know if they were bluffing, but he regretted it at this moment.

Facing the villa worth over a hundred million, easily within reach, he had lost all greed...
