Even his own half-brother, he killed him so decisively.

Su Zhentian slowly took a deep breath, opened his eyes, his gaze calm, as if the twelve people lying on the ground had nothing to do with him.

"Those who accomplish great deeds do not fuss over trifles. For the sake of the entire Su Family, the death of some relatives, though painful to the skin, must not cause any hesitation."

Su Zhentian looked out the window with a deep gaze, murmuring as if talking to himself, yet seemingly speaking to Lin Hai.

"Wanjing, you may never be able to accept my views, nor understand me. I don't blame you. One day when you sit in my position, you will know that historically benevolence and righteousness have only harmed others; morality and justice have never been truly upheld."

Su Wanjing bit her red lips, silent. Her father's words sometimes seemed too extreme.

Lin Hai, on the other hand, was indifferent; after all, he had seen his fair share of deception, betrayal, and slaughter.

"Wanjing, you go out first. I have something to say to this young friend."

Su Wanjing hesitated, not moving, looking at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai smiled gently and said softly, "Wanjing, you go out first. I'll chat with your future father-in-law."

Hearing Lin Hai refer to her father as her future father-in-law, a flush appeared on Su Wanjing's lovely face, her eyes showing shyness. She obediently nodded, looking like a compliant and virtuous wife, lingering and repeatedly turning back to look at Lin Hai's figure as she left the room, even making sure to carefully close the door behind her.

"Alas, it's hard to keep a grown daughter at home. Trying to retain can turn into enmity in the end." Su Zhentian watched his daughter's actions, shook his head and sighed, not minding that Lin Hai could hear his words.

Lin Hai's expression was calm, wearing a slight smile, silently standing there.

From the sequence of actions just now, he knew that Su Zhentian truly loved his daughter deeply in his heart.

Those words just now weren't spoken to Lin Hai, but to Su Wanjing.

From those words, Lin Hai understood that Su Zhentian had already made up his mind to appoint Su Wanjing as the next Family Head of the Su Family.

Coupled with Su Zhentian's ruthless and decisive killing of his relatives and brothers just now, Lin Hai knew that Su Zhentian had acted this way in order to plan the next step: clearing all obstacles for Su Wanjing.

"I have yet to learn the esteemed name of our young friend. Today's kindness, Su Zhentian will remember it in his heart; should there be any needs in the future, the Su Family will surely support wholeheartedly." Su Zhentian spoke with eyes filled with pure gratitude.

"Father-in-law, this is what I should do," Lin Hai chuckled.

Su Zhentian was somewhat speechless; such a fine young man, who had been serious and aloof just now, suddenly seemed a bit... lewd.

"Do you really like Wanjing?" Su Zhentian wanted to see through Lin Hai, observing closely.

Lin Hai nodded without any hesitation.

"Can you guarantee that you will love only her for your whole life, and marry only her?" Su Zhentian stared at Lin Hai, questioning word by word, his expression solemn and serious.

Lin Hai thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"Hmph, to marry my daughter Su Zhentian, you must be good to only her for a lifetime," Su Zhentian said forcefully and domineeringly.

Lin Hai sighed. The father-in-law had a rather heroic character; how could he be so stubborn in this regard?

"Cough cough, dear father-in-law, I actually want to say, your daughter is already mine," Lin Hai said, even showing a shy expression.

A murderous intent instantly flashed in Su Zhentian's eyes. Was this an indirect threat to him? Su Zhentian had never feared any threats in his life. Many had dared to threaten him, but the vast majority, as time passed, mysteriously died in accidents, including their relatives and children.

"Uh, father-in-law, I wasn't threatening you, don't get the wrong idea," said Lin Hai, clearing his throat, adding another sentence.

"My first wife's status is similar to yours, only she follows the proper path."

"My second wife's strength is about the same as the old gentleman from earlier, and in terms of overall combat ability, that gentleman who protects you might not even be a match for my second wife."

"As for my third wife, although her current strength is a bit weak and her status is just a civil servant, she has great potential. At the very least, she'll be on par with me in a few years."

"My fourth wife, though she has no particular strengths, her status and identity are not something you can compare with, and the relatives behind my fourth wife, just mentioning any of them, are frightening figures — people with significant influence in Huaxia."

"Speaking of which, I also have a fifth wife. Our relationship hasn't been clearly defined yet; it's just a flirtation, and I've been avoiding her for two years, but her uncle, grandfather, younger brother, older brother, and old butler... they seem to be at the level of Supreme Strong experts…"

Lin Hai wanted to think of a few more examples to slightly shift Su Zhentian's perspective.

"Enough!" Su Zhentian's face was ashen. At first, he thought Lin Hai was speaking seriously, but it turned out to be boasting.

"Young man, I don't like dishonest people."

"I'm not being dishonest, father-in-law. Do you know my identity?" Lin Hai blinked his eyes. Dealing with the father-in-law, one cannot be too compliant; otherwise, you'll be led by the nose in the future.

Lin Hai didn't want to be seen as a good man and turn into a dog just like that.

"Your identity?" Su Zhentian was actually very curious. This young man in front of him had extraordinary composure, great strength, and his insight was certainly not comparable to those of ordinary family sons, he even seemed to know more than Su Zhentian himself. Such a person's identity must be incredibly mysterious.

"Yeah, my identity. If you knew it, you would think it's a blessing for Wanjing to marry me," Lin Hai said shamelessly, half-boasting.

"What exactly is your identity?" Su Zhentian couldn't help but ask with suspicion.

Lin Hai smiled, knowing he had piqued Old Master Su's curiosity.

"I can not only tell you my identity, but I can also cure Wanjing's grandmother's illness," Lin Hai said with a smile.

Su Zhentian fell silent; he was actually a very filial person, otherwise he wouldn't be spending millions every day in medical expenses to keep his elderly, sick mother alive.

"First, let's talk about your conditions!" After a moment of silence, Su Zhentian asked in a deep voice.

For the first time, he felt that he couldn't see through the young man before him, and it seemed that this young man wouldn't be led by him at all.

"Conditions, of course, is for Wanjing to marry me. But it doesn't matter whether you agree or not, after all, she has wanted to marry me for a long time. If it comes down to it, I'll just take her and elope. I have more than a dozen small islands in my name; we can choose any place to live, and you won't be able to find us," Lin Hai said with a he-he.

In front of the father-in-law, a son-in-law has to show some strength, otherwise, if the father-in-law looks down on him, there won't be any good days ahead.

Su Zhentian was a bit incredulous about Lin Hai's words. Someone has more than a dozen small islands? Isn't that richer than the Su Family? Moreover, islands are almost like territories, and the difficulty and price to acquire them are too great.

"Father-in-law, have you ever heard of the King of Soldiers L?" Lin Hai asked with a smile.
