Top-Tier Superpower Student

Looking back, Lin Tian saw an old man with entirely white hair and beard standing at the entrance of the villa. His face was creased with wrinkles, resembling tree bark, and he walked as if he might enter a coffin at any moment.

"Who are you?" Lin Tian asked with interest, looking at the man who had suddenly appeared.

Although he did not know who the other party was, his presence in the Zhang Family's villa suggested that he was no ordinary person.

"I am Zhang Yuanliang, the former Family Head of the Zhang Family," the old man said, looking at Lin Tian and straightening his hunched body slightly as he walked forward.

"Oh? So what?" Knowing that the man was the former Family Head of the Zhang Family, the smile on Lin Tian's lips grew thicker, laced with sarcasm as he spoke. "You're not going to tell me to give you some face and let this matter slide, are you?"

"Of course not," Zhang Yuanliang replied, maintaining his smile and not getting angry at Lin Tian's words. "I just heard that Mr. Lin mentioned wanting a hundred billion as compensation?"

"That's right, that's my plan," Lin Tian admitted.

"Then I'm afraid Mr. Lin is bound to be disappointed," Zhang Yuanliang said, smiling at Lin Tian.

"Heh… Seems like you have already made your decision," Lin Tian said, raising an eyebrow and slightly leaning forward, ready to take action.

"No, that's not what I meant," Zhang Yuanliang quickly spoke, noticing Lin Tian's readiness to fight and rushing his words, fearing that Lin Tian might actually strike.

"What else do you want to say?" Lin Tian really disliked the old man, cursing silently. After all the beating around the bush, not a single useful word had been said.

"What I mean is, we definitely can't take out a hundred billion, but we can provide ten billion as compensation to Mr. Lin. I wonder how Mr. Lin feels about this?" Zhang Yuanliang explained earnestly.

"Dad, how could you…"

"Shut up, do you want our house in even more chaos?" Zhang Licheng, hearing his father propose to give ten billion to Lin Tian as compensation, instantly became anxious trying to intervene. However, he was cut off by Zhang Yuanliang, who sternly rebuked him.

"But, but…" Seeing his father's stern expression, Zhang Licheng dared not speak further, yet ten billion being given away was a significant loss, even for the wealthy Zhang Family.

"There's no 'but' about it. I have already decided." Zhang Yuanliang did not look at his son again, turning his gaze to Lin Tian instead. "I wonder what Mr. Lin thinks? Ten billion is our limit."

"Ten billion, huh?" Lin Tian pondered for a moment, then smiled. "It's not out of the question. Although I don't care much for such a trivial amount, the Zhang Family's repeated attempts against me aren't something that can merely be resolved with money, don't you think?"

"…" Hearing Lin Tian refer to ten billion as a trivial amount choked everyone up; if that's trivial, what counts as a large amount? And please don't pity me, stop pelting me with your 'trivial' money, and torturing me with it.

However, upon hearing Lin Tian agree to accept the ten billion, they all breathed a sigh of relief. It was good as long as he accepted; with this, their lives were spared.

Facing Lin Tian, they were truly frightened.

"I understand now," Zhang Yuanliang nodded, then turned to the Zhang Family members behind him and ordered, "Kneel down and apologize to Mr. Lin."

"What? Grandfather… how could you…"

Hearing this command, the Zhang Family members erupted in turmoil, unable to accept such an order. They were Zhang Family members, after all; who would dare make them kneel in apology in Wu'an City? It was already unusual for them not to make others do so.

Suddenly, their faces filled with humiliation, an experience they had never encountered before.

"I said kneel down and apologize to Mr. Lin," Zhang Yuanliang's voice grew louder, his gaze emitting an intimidating brilliance that made it difficult to meet his eyes.

Everyone who saw him lowered their heads.

"Splash…" Finally, unable to bear the oppressive force any longer, they knelt in unison and apologized to Lin Tian.

"Heh… not bad, just make sure the money is transferred to me," Lin Tian said with a smile, looking at the Zhang Family members kneeling before him and preparing to leave. However, as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "Feel free to keep plotting against me. I quite enjoy such reprisals, but remember to have the money ready."

With that, Lin Tian left the Zhang Family villa.

Originally, Lin Tian had planned to simply kill all members of the Zhang Family, but with Zhang Yuanliang's appearance, he decided to change his approach.

Firstly, the Zhang Family was a major family in Wu'an City. To act against them so directly would have been too conspicuous and would have stirred up too much turmoil in Wu'an City, difficult to settle afterward.

While he wasn't afraid, he also didn't want the hassle.

Moreover, he had already perceived the fear the Zhang Family harbored towards him, so why not take the money when it was offered?

After all, it was ten billion yuan. Thus, Lin Tian smoothly took the face-saving path offered by Zhang Yuanliang and settled the matter peacefully.

As Lin Tian left, a sigh of relief finally emerged within the Zhang Family villa. God only knew how uncomfortable they were with that killer standing there.

The people who had been kneeling on the ground got up, among them, someone saw that Lin Tian had left and immediately started shouting, "Damn it, when have we ever tolerated such humiliation? We must not let him get away with this."

"Slap!" However, as soon as this person finished speaking, Zhang Yuanliang stepped forward and fiercely slapped him, saying, "Why weren't you so imposing while the others were here? Now that they've left, you start yelling? That's all the backbone you have."

Glancing around at the people nearby, Zhang Yuanliang continued, "From today onward, no one from the Zhang Family should provoke Lin Tian. If you see him, avoid him if you can; if you can't avoid him, stay respectful. There are some people we cannot afford to offend."

He sighed and then added, "Call the Li Family in the Capital City, tell them the situation here truthfully, and then let's not interfere anymore."

After speaking, Zhang Yuanliang turned and walked out of the villa. Watching his retreating figure, everyone felt that the old family head seemed even more stooped.

...

In a manor within Russia, Europe; Zhang Ya sat on the balcony, sipping from a glass of red wine.

After being injured by Lin Tian, she had left Huaxia, first going to Europe, and then to Russia. As she frequently used her superpower, her strength had increased to an incredible extent; hence, if she faced Lin Tian again, she was confident she could take him down.

The afternoon sun cast a light on Zhang Ya, revealing an undeniable noble and elegant demeanor. Her sensually exquisite body curves made one's thoughts wander.

Zhang Ya held the wine glass in front of her, her eyes deepening as she stared at the red liquid, her gaze directed towards Huaxia.

Suddenly, the corners of Zhang Ya's mouth curved into a cold smile:

"Lin Tian, I'll be back soon, and you belong only to me. As for those two bitches, I'll make sure you all suffer."

After leaving the villa, Lin Tian went straight back to his rented apartment, only to find that Bu Mengting had already left to return to school, but He Qianqian had come over at some point.

"Wifey, I missed you to death." Upon entering the apartment, Lin Tian didn't make a sound; instead, he cautiously approached He Qianqian from behind and hugged her.

"Ah… Who is it?" He Qianqian was startled by the sudden embrace and screamed. Then, seeing it was Lin Tian, her face showed a reproachful expression as she rolled her eyes and said, "How did you get here?"

"I missed you, so I came over." Lin Tian didn't let go, instead he turned He Qianqian around to face him, hugged her from the front, buried his head in her hair, and greedily inhaled its fragrance, saying, "I knew you would come today, so I timed my arrival perfectly."

"…" He Qianqian rolled her eyes at his words, thinking, I don't believe you.

Having not seen him for several days, she indeed missed Lin Tian very much, and they just held each other, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.

However, it wasn't long before He Qianqian's face turned red because Lin Tian, the rascal, had his hands on her waist initially but then they began moving downward, and now had reached her buttocks.

Feeling the warmth on her butt, He Qianqian's face turned so red it could bleed; just as Lin Tian was about to go further, He Qianqian slapped away his hand and softly said, "Stop, it's daytime."

"Hmm? Wifey, are you saying it's okay if I move up instead?" Lin Tian, his mouth buried in He Qianqian's hair, teasingly bit her earlobe and laughed.

"Yes." He Qianqian's voice was faint, yet she nodded in agreement with Lin Tian.

"Muah! Wifey, I love you to death." Lin Tian joyfully kissed He Qianqian on the face, then happily exclaimed, though he actually calmed down and stopped his wandering hands.

He Qianqian, looking at Lin Tian's excited demeanor, blushed and gave him a look, though she said nothing, thinking he really was a vexing man.

Lin Tian, sitting with He Qianqian on the couch, said, "Wifey, have you ever thought about applying for a Master's program and then teaching at a university?"

"Why say that? I'm quite content right now." Hearing Lin Tian's words, He Qianqian looked at him, puzzled.

"Ah… Wifey, how can you not understand my feelings?" Lin Tian put on a sad face and said, "I'm currently in university, but you're still teaching high school. It's so inconvenient for us to meet. If wifey applied for a Master's and then taught at our university, wouldn't we be able to see each other every day?"

Hearing this reason from Lin Tian, He Qianqian couldn't help but roll her eyes at him again, but her heart was moved. Lin Tian really had a point; if she pursued her Master's degree and then taught at the university, they could indeed see each other every day.

"Okay, I'll apply for the Master's." Seeing Lin Tian's hopeful expression, He Qianqian nodded in agreement.

"Yay, that's great." Lin Tian cheerfully exclaimed again, like a child, and then said excitedly, "I'll start making arrangements right away."

Meanwhile, the Li Family in Capital City was furious to their core when they learned of Li Guan's death, and without much inquiry, they sent Li Dong to Wu'an City.
