Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress Chapter 201 – I Will Handle All Other Matters

Chapter 201: I Will Handle All Other Matters

Su Huiqing never imagined that she would be going against the Dugu Family, one of the big three in the International Association, so soon.

She had calculated every step of her plan precisely.

First was to develop the Su Family properly and to get each and every single one of her badges back.

The final step was to return to Unknown Island.

As for the big three, they would never notice an ordinary family like the Su Family.

She expected to only deal with other mediocre-level powers.

By the time the big three noticed her, she would not need to fear either one of them.

But it seemed like it was impossible for her to remain hidden now.

Su Huiqing lowered her eyes and slowly buttoned up her collar.

Rays of sunlight shone through the window. Her outfit of white shirt and black pants did not look plain and simple but instead appeared exceptionally bewitching.

The Dugu Family matriarch’s face was dripping with red wine. Red marks had also appeared on her forehead.

“You… you bastard child! How dare you hit me!” The Dugu Family matriarch never imagined that anyone in the entire International Association would ever dare do this to her. “You are indeed a crass little bitch. Guards, capture this bastard child, I want her to know the consequences of provoking the Dugu Family…”

“Smack!”

She was smacked across the face before she even completed her sentence.

The Dugu Family matriarch’s eyes widened in shock.

This time, even Su Huiqing turned her head to look at Su Ruohua in wonder.

Although her face bore an expression of anger, Su Ruohua remained as calm and elegant as ever. Even the action of raising her hand to slap someone had been graceful.

She looked at the Dugu Family matriarch with unwavering eyes. “I know your Dugu Family is great and powerful. You can insult me, but if you insult my daughter one more time, I will drag you down to hell with me.”

The Dugu Family matriarch trembled with rage.

She smacked her hands on the table, her usually neat and tidy hairdo looking a little tousled. She shouted somewhat maniacally. “Guards! Are you all dead?!”

A team of men came rushing in!

They aimed their weapons at Su Huiqing. “Don’t move.”

Su Huiqing waved one arm and all the plates on the table flew across…

The plates landed right in front of the guards, piercing through the thick wooden floors!

There was no doubt that those plates could have penetrated right into their chests if she wished.

“Stay right there if you don’t want Madam Dugu to die a terrible death.” Su Huiqing still had one hand propped upon the table as she cast a sweeping glance at the group.

Her gaze was serene.

“Madam Dugu?” After making sure the guards were compliant, Su Huiqing turned and grinned at the Dugu Family matriarch. “I have some advice for you. First, don’t insult my mother. Second, don’t point your finger at my mother. Third, read through the first two pieces of advice again.”

“Otherwise…”

The silver wire vibrated slightly, and the whole table easily split into several pieces.

Sawdust was still swirling in the air, but her authority was clear and firm.

The Dugu Family matriarch had always been highly-respected by all. She had never met someone like Su Huiqing, and she couldn’t help shivering.

She was shaking with both fear and indignation.

“Quickly go inform Little Heng.” The Dugu Family matriarch shouted loudly. “Have him see how these two bitches are trying to kill me!”

The Dugu Family guards had already taken out their communications devices and notified Dugu Heng.

They were doomed if anything happened to the Dugu Family matriarch while she was under their watch.

“Qingqing!” Su Ruohua tugged at Su Huiqing’s hand. She lowered her voice, her expression still as placid as ever. “Reinforcements from the Dugu Family will be here soon. You should leave now. Have your uncle and Little Xie go with you.”

Su Huiqing slowly wound up her silver wire and smiled soothingly at Su Ruohua. “Why should we run?”

It was a brilliant smile, but Su Ruohua was not comforted by the sight.

“You have just arrived at the International Association and don’t know how complicated things are here. The Dugu Family is one of the most powerful families here. It will be very easy for them to make us disappear without a trace.” Su Ruohua spoke calmly, but her hands were trembling.

She was truly frightened.

It had just been a few days since she first arrived at the International Association.

But Xie Zhengyuan had already told her all about the power hierarchy over here. The big three and the two major powers were the ultimate rulers over the International Association.

As for the Su Family, they were just a tiny D-Class company.

They had to be careful of even the minor Master Chen, not to mention the Dugu Family, who was one of the big three.

“You finally realized how much trouble you are in?” The Dugu Family matriarch shot Su Ruohua with a malicious look. “A pity that it’s too late. Even if you run to the corners of the earth, the Dugu Family will never let you off. Even if you kneel down before me now, it will be useless!”

Su Huiqing raised her hand, and a silver wire cut off a strand of the old lady’s hair. She commented in a serene manner, “I don’t know if the wire will still be off to the side the next time round…”

The Dugu Family matriarch. “…”

“Qingqing, be a good girl.” Su Ruohua sounded somewhat anxious now, but at the same time loathing her own fear. “I was in the wrong this time. I shouldn’t have dragged you guys down with me. Go back to Green City. Even the Dugu Family will not dare to make any false moves there. Listen, in Grandpa’s study at the Su Family mansion…”

She was truly scared now. They were just ordinary people, and there could only be one outcome if they crossed swords with people from the International Association.

“Mother.” Su Huiqing held Su Ruohua’s hand, her expression calm and resolute. “From now on, you just need to sit in your office and calculate our profits. Or you can also go play mahjong with the other housewives, or go for a walk with Empress Su. I will handle all other matters in future.”

For the first time in her life, Su Huiqing realized she might have been wrong.

She finally understood what was truly important in life.

She wanted to move discreetly, to secretly gather power and make herself more formidable. For the sake of Unknown Island, and for the sake of those comrades who were guarding Unknown Island with their lives, waiting for her return.

But what about the Su Family?

She had created a prosperous position for the Su Family in Green City and fulfilled her promise to let them lead worry-free lives.

She herself had grown up in the International Association and was used to the constant struggle for life and death here, as well as the activities of the big three.

These were all normal things in her eyes.

She wasn’t even particularly bothered by the Dugu Family, as she had once stood in a position as high as Dugu Heng’s.

As a result, she didn’t feel that the Dugu Family had reached a level where they could easily squash the Su Family.

But she never thought of how the Su Family, having come from a remote place like Green City—how anxious and fearful they must be to be at a place like the International Association.

No wonder the mere presence of that insignificant Master Chen was enough to make Su Zhi back off.

No wonder those people dared to behave so audaciously right in the Su Corporation’s own lobby, and Su Zhi didn’t even dare to challenge them.

No wonder Su Ruohua was now offering to sacrifice herself and stay behind to endure the wrath of the Dugu Family.

This was because they held a certain level of fear and awe toward the International Association.

Su Huiqing lowered her eyes.

In the International Association, all ordinary newcomers who wished to stabilize their positions here had to pour in all efforts to endure, yield and succumb.

Su Zhi and Su Ruohua had clearly managed to do that.

Su Huiqing didn’t wish to see Su Ruohua or any one of them bowing their heads low before the International Association.

Just like how it was before at the start in Green City, Su Ruohua and Su Lun had remained steadfastly beside her.

Who cared if the entire world believed she had pushed Shen Anan.

The Su Family people had stood by her.

It was her turn now.

Su Huiqing drew back her hand and slowly wound the silver wire around her own wrist. She sent a message to Su Chu: Address: Brilliant Restaurant, level three, private room S8.

She had informed Su Chu and his men yesterday so they should be here already.

“Qingqing, don’t do anything foolish.” Su Ruohua patted Su Huiqing on the shoulder with a bitter smile. “I know you have your own opinions and ideas now, but you cannot be impulsive under such circumstances.”

She was well aware of where the Su Family stood.

An arm would never be stronger than a leg. If this was the ancient times, they would belong to the common classes, while the Dugu Family were the royal family.

Under normal circumstances, Su Ruohua’s actions were the most reasonable and would result in the least amount of damage.

Overhearing the conversation, the Dugu Family matriarch lifted her chin and gazed at Su Huiqing with scorn and ridicule.

Did she think the International Association was like that remote little place where they came from? Did she really think the International Association was so easy to handle?

Just wait until her son Dugu Heng arrived. She looked forward to seeing these two people plead with her, crying tears of shame and regret!

Footsteps sounded outside the door at this moment. Someone bearing the seal of the Dugu Family entered and executed a proper military salute. “Madam, the Master has arrived.”

The Dugu Family matriarch’s eyes lit up.
