Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1574

"Nonsense!" Su Qinian exclaimed, his voice laced with anger. "I have already settled everything with you, with interest to boot!"

"Just because you claim it's paid, does that make it so? If you truly had paid, why is this IOU still in my possession?" Su Jie sneered. "Su Qinian, if you're going to try and evade your debt, at least use your head!"

"You..."

Su Qinian was so incensed, he felt as though he might vomit blood right then and there.

"What do you mean by 'you'? For a man of your age, isn't it utterly shameful to be in debt?"

Su Jie continued his sneering, voice dripping with disdain. "Having relatives like you is truly the misfortune of my eight generations. To put it bluntly, with both you and your daughter living such prosperous lives, even if you didn't owe me a single cent, would it be too much for me to ask for some financial assistance?"

Su Yumo trembled with fury, pointing a finger at Su Jie and admonishing him, "Su Jie, don't push things too far!"

"Too far?" Su Jie let out a booming laugh. "Honestly, I'd prefer it if you didn't push things with me! Regardless, to make a long story short, if you fail to return my money today, don't hold me accountable for my lack of mercy!"

"You..."

Su Yumo was so provoked, she desperately wanted to lash out and strike Su Jie.

But at that precise moment.

A strong arm reached out, gently pulling Su Yumo to his side, as a calm male voice declared, "Allow me to handle this."

Ye Xuan moved forward, positioning himself directly in front of Su Yumo.

Su Jie's eyebrows shot up as he fixed his gaze on Ye Xuan, inquiring coldly, "And who might you be?"

After a brief pause for thought, Ye Xuan responded, "Ye Xuan."

"Ye Xuan?" Su Jie expressed a flicker of surprise before snapping back, "Who the devil asked for your name? I'm asking what your relation is to the Su Qinian family."

"Son-in-law, I suppose," Ye Xuan replied with an innocent smile. "To be more precise, a soon-to-be son-in-law."

"You're Su Qinian's son-in-law?" Su Jie appeared taken aback, his curiosity piqued. "I must say, I find that hard to believe. I heard Su Yumo's man was quite well-off, but you don't exactly exude the aura of a wealthy individual."

"Never judge a book by its cover," Ye Xuan stated placidly. "How much does my father-in-law owe your family?"

Su Qinian urgently interjected, "Ye Xuan, I swear I've already settled the debt!"

But Su Jie merely chuckled. "Not a substantial amount, just a million!"

"A million?" Upon hearing the figure, Su Qinian couldn't help but curse aloud. "Su Jie, don't go too far in bullying people! Forget the fact that I've already paid everything; even if I hadn't, with the accumulated interest, it wouldn't have exceeded one hundred thousand!"

Su Jie's brow furrowed. "Su Qinian, why are you babbling so much? I'm addressing your son-in-law, so why are you butting your damn mouth into this?"

"You scoundrel, I'll fight you!" Su Qinian moved as if to engage in a brawl.

Ye Xuan calmly raised a hand, signaling Su Qinian to remain composed.

Su Yumo gently pulled her father back.

Ye Xuan turned his attention back to Su Jie, a playful smirk gracing his lips. "A million, you say? It's quite alright, we are all family after all. Even if it were ten million, I would gladly hand it over."

"Ye Xuan..."

Both Su Qinian and his daughter exchanged looks of alarm.

The onlookers present were equally astonished by Ye Xuan's audacious declaration.

Was he here to settle a dispute, or was he a veritable fool drowning in excess wealth?

Su Jie's elation surged upon hearing this. "Now that's what I like to hear! Hahaha, you're a breath of fresh air! I appreciate people like you. Rest assured, as long as you provide me with the million, I shall promptly tear up those IOUs!"

"Whether you tear up the IOUs or not is of little consequence. What truly matters is..."

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, his smile widening into a grin. "Debts should be settled in full, one by one. My father-in-law owes your family money, and indeed, it ought to be repaid. However, you assaulted my father-in-law and my workers today; this matter also requires a resolution."

Su Jie's smile faltered, his expression shifting to a frown. "And what exactly do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean?"

Ye Xuan, with a smile, deliberately lit a cigarette. Taking a long, slow drag, he exhaled a plume of smoke and gazed at Su Jie and the group of street thugs surrounding him. Finally, he spoke in a light, casual tone, "Each of you should break a leg. Are you going to do it yourselves, or would you prefer I lend a hand?"

His words left everyone present utterly speechless.

Wasn't that claim a tad too arrogant?

The group Su Jie had assembled consisted of about ten individuals, all recognizable as street delinquents. To address them in such a manner, even possessing immense wealth wouldn't guarantee safety, would it?

Only Su Qinian and his daughter remained unfazed, for they were well aware of the formidable capabilities Ye Xuan possessed.

However, Su Jie was entirely ignorant of this fact.

Consequently, Su Jie erupted in anger on the spot. "What the hell are you talking about? Everyone breaks a leg? Are you itching for a fight to the death?"

Ye Xuan smiled faintly. "So, you're unwilling to do it yourselves then?"

"Damn you, I'll break your arm off!" Su Jie bellowed.

A chorus of angry shouts erupted from the street youths. "Exactly! We beat those old geezers because they had it coming. Don't like it? We'll beat you too, believe it or not?"

"Damn it, where did this idiot crawl out from? Does he really think a bit of paltry money makes him special?"

"Kid, watch your mouth, or I'll snap all three of your legs right here and now!"

"..."

It would stand to reason that wealth garners respect, and facing a million-dollar deal, Ye Xuan readily agreed, telling them to break a leg wasn't an exaggeration in the slightest.

Yet, these individuals, as avaricious and insatiable as Su Jie himself, perceived Ye Xuan as an easy mark, someone with more money than brains. They believed that by adopting a more aggressive stance, they could extract further compensation, questioning why they should endure any hardship.

A silent consensus seemed to form as they all adopted a wild and menacing posture towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan could only shake his head in resignation, but then a smile returned to his face.

In the very next instant, Ye Xuan vanished.

Time appeared to stretch, yet contract!

The very moment Ye Xuan disappeared, it was as if the world itself transformed.

The sky shifted its hues, and the very vegetation quivered!

An overwhelming, terrifying murderous aura descended, engulfing the entire scene like a primordial beast. No one could escape the suffocating sensation that their minds were wiped clean, their chests pressed down with immense weight.

This was the embodiment of absolute dominance, a display of sheer superiority in might!

The air filled with sharp cracking sounds, and the ground beneath Su Jie and his associates erupted with flying dust.

Back and forth, a mere ten seconds transpired.

Those ten seconds were likely the most tranquil moments experienced here today.

After those ten seconds had elapsed.

Ye Xuan's figure reappeared amidst the swirling dust.

Appalling screams, akin to the wails of ghosts and the howling of wolves, erupted subsequently.

"Ah! My leg, my leg!"

"He's a madman, this guy is utterly mad!"

"What just happened? How could this occur? Who is he? Who, in reality, is he?!"

"..."

The shrieks were thick with a potent mixture of terror and utter disbelief.

As the dust settled.

Every gaze shifted, every face drained of its color.

The arrogant Su Jie and his retinue, who just moments ago had stood so proudly, were now not a single one still on their feet. They lay in a pitiful state upon the ground, each clutching their legs, their faces contorted in agony beyond measure.

Even the dimmest mind could discern that their legs were broken.

Not merely one leg fractured, but both!
