Chapter 593: Candidacy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing Wang Mang’s words, Chen Kun’s entire body stiffened. He turned his head and looked at Wang Mang with a gloomy expression.
“What do you mean by that? Do you intend to kill me?”
At this point, Chen Kun’s gaze became fierce.
It was one thing for Wang Mang to attack him, but killing him? He needed to get back to the family in order to get them to act against Wang Mang, so this was an unwelcome turn of events.
However, Chen Kun did not think that this fellow had the guts to kill him. The Chen family was very powerful, and was located in this area of Qingmu City. Even the East City Lord did not dare to provoke their Chen Family, much less this random guard dog!
Although he was not a direct descendant of the Chen family, his status in the Chen family was not low. If anything were to happen to him, the Tier 5 experts of the Chen family would not let Wang Mang off so easily.
Hearing this, Wang Mang grinned, but his expression was sinister.
“I don’t dare to kill you, but 1 definitely dare to control you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Mang activated the God Control Seal, following which Chen Kun clutched his head and fell to the ground with a painful expression.
The mournful screams made one’s hair stand on end.
At the same time, the old servant of the mansion gasped when he saw this scene.
He had not expected the new general in charge of the East Gate to be so ruthless!

Hearing this, Wang Mang nodded slightly. Then, he looked at the old servant. When he saw Wang Mang’s gaze, the old servant trembled in fear and almost fell to the ground.
He quickly lowered his head and said in fear, “General, don’t worry. 1 didn’t see or hear anything.”
Wang Mang gave a faint smile, and then activated the God Control Seal without hesitation, easily gaining control over the old servant.
Only then did Wang Mang stop in satisfaction. There was no way he was going to leave any loose ends.
However, at this moment, the system’s voice rang out.

Ooh?
Another mission? The Chen family head position was up for grabs? This was an interesting opportunity.
However, he quickly gave up on the first and fourth mission options. The first was a waste of a good opportunity, while the fourth was too difficult. He could not force the current family head of the Chen family to abdicate, and he was not strong enough to interfere in the matters of a force with at least three Tier 5 experts so openly.
Thus, it was between the second and the third mission options. Thinking this, Wang Mang did not rush to make a decision. Instead, he chose to seek out more information. After all, his candidate was right here.
Wang Mang looked at Chen Kun and asked, “How many Tier 5 experts does your family have?”
“Master, our Chen family has five Tier 5 experts. Four of them are from the Chen family, while the other is the Chen family’s guest elder.”
After hearing Chen Kun’s words, Wang Mang was secretly shocked. It was no wonder Chen Kun was so arrogant. Five Tier 5 experts was a force to be reckoned with, and far more than Wang Mang could handle at the moment.
Then, Wang Mang asked,”Is your Chen family going to start choosing the next candidates for the family head position?”
Chen Kun was stunned. He looked at Wang Mang in astonishment and asked, “Master, how do you even know the internal affairs of the Chen family?”
Wang Mang waved his hand.
“Don’t worry about how 1 know. Tell me, is it possible for you to compete to become a candidate?”

“Now, on the surface, the two people competing for the position are Chen Weiting and Chen Weiqi.”
“Both of them are direct descendants, and each of them has the support of two Supreme Elders.”
“Master, I don’t even have the support of a regular elder!”
At this point, Chen Kun’s face was filled with envy.
Hearing this, Wang Mang narrowed his eyes. It might be difficult, but not impossible.
In other words, this guy still had a chance to become one of the candidates, but it was unlikely that he would become the sole candidate.
Thinking this, Wang Mang muttered, “System, I choose Mission 2!”
[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully selected a mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]
Wang Mang had a rough plan in mind.
“Are you confident in winning over that guest elder?” Wang Mang asked.
Chen Kun realized what was going on and looked at Wang Mang with a face full of anticipation and surprise.
“Master, you want me to compete to become one of the candidates?”
When he saw Wang Mang nod slightly, Chen Kun was overjoyed, but he still said with some worry, “Master, even if I rope in the guest grand elder, it won’t be enough!”
“One needs the support of at least two supreme elders to become one of the candidates.”
“That’s why the Chen family has always only had two heirs.”
Hearing this, Wang Mang’s lips curled up slightly.. “What if a Tier 5 expert joins the Chen family and supports you?”
