<h4>Chapter 1440: Chapter 1748: Struggle for the Family Head (2)</h4>


    "Ling Tao, the money we earn is through our own abilities. Besides, all these years we’ve been providing funds for the Ling Family. Whatever amount you need, we help you prepare it. You utter words at random, but do you know how much effort we expend to earn enough money?" Ling Song said coldly, "In short, the position of the Family Head is settled for the Wen Sect. If you disagree, then our Wen Sect will leave the Ling Family and establish our own branch."


    Ling Kun raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Ling Song, are you threatening me?"


    Ling Song said nonchntly, "I am threatening you, so what? Do you dare to disagree?"


    "Hehe!" Before Ling Kun could speak, a burst ofughter suddenly reached everyone’s ears. Looking carefully, they saw Ling Chen slowly walking over.


    Ling Song sized up the approaching Ling Chen and asked, "Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"


    Ling Chen pointed at Ling Kun and said tly, "He is my old man. If I didn’t mishear, it was you threatening us just now."


    "What are you trying to do?" Ling Song squinted his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.


    "Our Martial Sect isn’t as skilled at earning money as your Wen Sect, but do you know what our Martial Sect excels at?"


    "What?"


    "Killing!" Ling Chen spat out coldly, "On your way home, maybe your car will explode halfway. Unpredictable urrences, you better be careful."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Song’s face suddenly changed, and he shouted coldly, "You dare threaten me?"


    "If you can threaten me, why can’t I threaten you? If I recall correctly, the Ling Family has family rules. People like you who embezzle will be severely punished, and in serious cases, can even be sentenced to death."


    "Ling Kun, you’d better rein in your son."


    "No need to press me using my dad. To be honest with you, the greatest credit for the demise of the southern Ling Family belongs to me. Originally, I should have been the Family Head, but I have no interest in it, so I let my dad be the Family Head. If you have objections against him, it’s like having objections against me. Also, I want to introduce myself to everyone: I’m Ling Chen. Quite a few of you have assets in Beijing, so you might have heard of my name."


    With this, the people present suddenly began to chatter, and they looked at Ling Chen with a hint of fear.


    "Bastard! So you’re here, I’ve finally found you." At this moment, an angry voice came over, and soon, a young man charged over from the back of the crowd.


    Ling Chen took a closer look, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but raise; it turned out to be Ling Dan, whom he had met in the parking lot earlier. Judging from the band-aid on his nose, he had probably gone to the hospital for treatment, which is why he wasn’t seen earlier.


    "Dad, this bastard was the one who injured me." Ling Dan pointed at Ling Chen and shouted at Ling Song beside him.


    Dad? Ling Chen was somewhat surprised, he hadn’t expected Ling Dan to be Ling Song’s son.


    "Ling Chen, you have some nerve!" Ling Song red at Ling Chen and shouted, "You’d better quickly apologize, otherwise..."


    "Otherwise what do you want to do?" Ling Chen replied fearlessly, "Your son harassed my girlfriend, shouldn’t I have beaten him up?"


    "Ling Kun, is this how you discipline your son?"


    Ling Kun said indifferently, "My son is grown up now, whatever he does naturally has his reasons, I can’t manage that much. If you can’t stand it, you can go directly to him, I guarantee not to interfere."


    "Fine, that’s what you said." Ling Song sneered and replied, "Don’t think our Wen Sect members are afraid to move against you Martial Sect people." As he finished speaking, an elderly man boldly strode out of the crowd.


    Seeing the visitor, Ling Kun, Ling Tao and Ling Chen were immediately taken aback. How could it be him?


    While they were stunned, Ling Song quickly walked to the elderly man’s side and said, "Elder Ling, please help me teach him a good lesson."


    "No problem."


    "Ling Jun, you dare!" Ling Kun lightly shouted and immediately stepped forward, cing himself in front of Ling Chen.


    That’s right! The person wasn’t anyone else, but the former senior of the northern Ling Family, Heavenly List master, Ling Jun. Seeing Ling Jun appear, Ling Chen’s brows furrowed slightly. A few days ago, he had asked Ling Tao, learning that Ling Jun had used money to buy a mansion, enjoying his retirement. Yet now he appeared at the Ling Family gathering. Moreover, from the current situation, Ling Jun seemed to have joined forces with Ling Song.


    Ling Jun seemed heedless of Ling Kun’s reprimand, casually saying, "Sorry, today I’ve been asked to be here. If there’s any offense, please forgive me." As he finished speaking, Ling Jun abruptly moved forward, reaching out to grab at Ling Chen.


    Seeing Ling Jun charging toward him, Ling Chen didn’t move, because he knew Ling Kun wouldn’t let him get hurt.


    "Ling Jun, you dare!" Ling Kun shouted angrily, quickly confronting to intercept Ling Jun’s attack. Seeing this, the others moved away from the area. No kidding, this was a battle between Heavenly List masters, if they got caught up in it, it would be hard to exinter.


    In the blink of an eye, Ling Kun and Ling Jun had already exchanged over twenty moves, neither using their full strength, keeping at least half in reserve. Watching their back-and-forth, Ling Chen rubbed his nose and called out, "Stop it, everyone."


    With Ling Chen’s words, Ling Kun lightly tapped with his toes, swiftly retreating, while simultaneously, Ling Jun also backed away.


    "Elder Ling," Ling Chen said, looking at Ling Jun, "You could be living your good life, whye here to find trouble with us? We agreed before, we’d give you a share of assets, and henceforth we’d have nothing to do with each other."


    Ling Jun nodded and said, "That’s true, but unfortunately, Ling Song found me and reached a new agreement. Once he bes the Family Head, what I can have will multiply several times over. As they say, people strive upward, water flows downward, so if there’s a better life to enjoy, why wouldn’t I agree?"


    "You really don’t know when to stop. Haven’t you heard that overly greedy people don’t meet a good end?"


    "I don’t think there’s anything bad about it."


    Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn’t be bothered to respond to Ling Jun, this old man was really too shameless. "Ling Song, is this your reliance?"


    "Isn’t it enough?" Ling Song raised his head arrogantly, "I know your Martial Sect is powerful, if we weren’t prepared, why would I dare challenge you? Ling Kun, I advise you to give up while you can, it will be better for everyone."


    Ling Kun furrowed his brows slightly, subconsciously casting his gaze toward Ling Chen beside him. Ling Jun’s appearance caught him off guard; under such circumstances he was unsure how to proceed.
