The Supreme God of Martial Arts

The old man who understood everything that Austin meant was aghast as well.

He was not expecting this young man to have such an appetite for wealth, to the point that he wanted half of the Xu Clan's

property!

"Hmm?" Austin said in a cold mocking voice after a while of silent shock from his audience. "Didn't you brag that you could fulfill

my requirement, no matter what it is?

Do you mean to go back on your word? Because if that's the case then | will have no choice but to kill you all."

A chill descended upon the yard.

Given Austin's strength, he could easily manipulate the temperature of a small area.

In a matter of moments, a harsh, cold wind was blowing and howling across the yard.

The members of the Xu Clan were shivering in their clothes, their faces turning pale as their bodies froze so slowly.

As the magnitude of Austin's capabilities finally dawned on them, no one dared to voice their protests out loud.

They were all thinking the sthing: this man was a demon!

"Please do not be angry with us, sir!"

The old man was trembling as he cried out.

"We will meet your terms!"

Money was important, of course, but there would be no point to their wealth if they all ended up dead there and then.

They all knew Austin was not bluffing.

He really would annihilate anyone who displeased him.

"Now, are you absolutely sure?"

Austin replied, his cold smirk still in place.

"Yes, yes," the old man was nodding vigorously, eventually bowing low to the young man.

"As long as you spare our lives."

"All right, it's settled then.

| will give you one day to sort out all the assets belonging to the Xu Clan.

| want half of all the property transferred under my name.

I will cback tomorrow to seal our deal."

The Xu Clan might have a considerably huge amount of property to go over with, but Austin was confident that they'd be able to

hire a professional team to work overtand meet his deadline.

One day should be enough.

"Sir," the old man spoke, and Austin could tell he was gritting himself for what he was about to say.

"Can you promise that once the assets are in your possession, you will never again bother the Xu Clan?"

"That's right. The old grudges between your clan andwill be written off.

If you make the mistake of messing withagain in the future, however, then that's a different matter altogether.

You best remember it."

It was a thinly veiled threat, and everyone was only eager to acquiesce.

"Yes, yes, understood." The old man was nodding vigorously again.

Austin said nothing more, and used the Omnipotent Lightness to vanish into thin air.

The people he left behind in the yard were staring bewildered at the spot where he disappeared.

Silence hung thick in the air, as the members of the Xu Clan processed the complex emotions they were feeling after the

encounter.

"That man!"

A small voice piped up.

It belonged to a girl, who seemed to be about thirteen or fourteen years of age.

"Does he know skind of invisibility magic?

That was so amazing!"

"He cand went without leaving a trace," the old man spoke with a heavy voice. "He's obviously someone like a legendary

divine being, and he could kill anyone with ease.

With such terrible power, he isn't someone we could trifle with.

You must remember, all you members of the Xu Clan here in the provincial capital!

You must avoid offending Austin at all costs.

Otherwise he will bring disaster to us all."

A tall and handsyoung man dressed in an expensive suit spoke up then.

"I don't think we really need to be so afraid of that guy.

It's true he is very powerful, but our main branch, the Xu Clan in the southwest, is also renowned in the world of martial arts.

He has beaten our elders here, and | doubt that the southwest branch with let it pass without avenging them.

They'll definitely send someone after Austin.

Besides, the main branch has recently joined the Heavenly Mountain Sect - one of the top sects in the world.

No matter how powerful that guy is, | doubt he would stand a chance against an alliance of two powerful organizations.

I don't think we should give in to his demands; let's just let the main branch deal with him."

"I agree with you," said one of the clan members.

The others soon joined in and voiced their accord.

"The southwest branch and the Heavenly Mountain Sect will definitely cafter that guy."

"We Xu Clan members here in the provincial capital only need to watch the battle that will ensue.

There's no need to be so frightened of that man."

"I have only one question," said the old man, who raised his hand to silence everyone.

"If we anger him, he will cfor us and slaughter us all.

Can you protect yourselves and fight against him?"

That single question quickly doused everyone's excitement.

The answer was very obvious, and it was staring right at their face.

"Ugh."

They all groaned their dismay, speechless as they were at this realization.

"This is what we will do," the old man said, a trace of his old wisdom flashing in his eyes.

"We will give half of our property as agreed, then stand aside and wait.

If the Heavenly Mountain Sect and the main branch indeed decide to send masters to deal with that guy, then we will get back our

wealth once they've killed him.

We shouldn't worry ourselves unnecessarily."

"That's perfect!"

The clan members jumped on the old man's plan.

"That way we can ensure our safety either way, and also have a chance to regain what is ours."

As promised, Austin returned to the Xu Clan's villa the next day.

Many members of the clan were present to greet and accommodate him.

Several lawyers and bank employees were there, too.

As per their agreement, the clan had liquidated half of their property, including shares, houses, and lands.

They assisted Austin in setting up a new foreign bank account, and had the total cash conversion of their property deposited under

his name. The Xu Clan was one of the biggest clans in the provincial capital, and one of its most important conglomerates was the

CT Group.

The CT Group alone had hundreds of businesses under its name, both small and large.

The final calculations shown by the clan's financial team amounted to about five billion dollars.

Of course, there was a possibility that the Xu Clan did not disclose all of its property in the liquidation process.

But Austin had no intention of looking further into the matter.

2.5 billion dollars was already more than enough to settle his family's life in comfort.

As the settlement went through the necessary procedures, Austin sat leisurely on one of the deck chairs in the yard.

He had a glass of red wine in his hand, and he swirled it casually as he lounged.

Around him, several senior managers of the CT Group were littered around, along with their lawyers.

The representatives of the local branch of a foreign bank in the Brilliant Kingdom were also present.

It took them a whole day and a half to finally complete the arrangements.

The Xu Clan was pretty influential in the provincial capital, after all, seeing as how the procedures went smoothly.

In the end, Austin was given a new bank card.

He nodded with satisfaction, and then disappeared in his usual fashion.

When he was gone, the entire yard breathed a collective sigh of relief.

"That demon has finally left!"

Then their thoughts began to move towards a different direction.

"Damn it!

We're in really deep trouble all because of Titus and his son!"

Everyone was murmuring their curses to themselves as they slowly got back to their lives, or what was left of it anyway.

Meanwhile, after Austin disappeared in the Xu Clan's Villa, he used the Space Ship to transport himself back to his hometown.

When he left home, he carried with him only the several thousand dollars that his mother gave him.

Now he was returning with 2.5 billion dollars to his name.

Not that it meant much to him.

After all, he once had the wealth and resources of the entire Fallen Immortal Cosmos at his disposal.

He could enjoy it all for as long as he liked.

Compared to the abundance waiting for him in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos, 2.5 billion dollars wasn't even worth mentioning.

Nevertheless, Austin decided he would enjoy this money with his family.

It was as much a fruit of his labor as anything else he had.

The shadow of his hometown soon loomed over the horizon.

Austin was finally back home, and moments later he was stepping merrily along the streets leading back to his family.
