The Iron Cloud city was one of the many small cities within the Sky Lion Kingdom. Unlike many of the small cities in the kingdom, the Iron Cloud City was very special because it was co-governed by four big families.

There was still a formal army, officers and a real governmental stricture but their power was very weak compared to the four big families.

The city wasn"t very rich and was located at the corner end of the kingdom, as such the royal family didn"t pay much attention to it.

Still, the four big families were in control of the economy of the entire city. They owned all the shops, Inns, and restaurants in the city.

These four big families were the Su family, the Zong Family, the Meng Family and the Ma family. Among the four families, the Su family was the strongest while the Ma Family was the weakest.

Not only the Su Family was the Strongest, they were the richest as well. They owned all the casinos and Inns within the city. They were the top dog in the city.

They were so strong that they could even fend off against the combined power of the other three families. They had many strong warriors and many talented children.

As for the Ma family, they used to be strong but they have deteriorated over the years due to lack of outstanding younger generations to continue their legacy.

The Ma family was located in the southern part of the city. Their property covered a few dozens of miles and had few buildings in it.

Unlike the other four big families, they didn"t have many descendants. Though they were considered as one of the four great families, the Ma family was kind of poor compared to the other three families. As such, not many people wanted to marry into their families.

At this moment, In the main hall of the Ma family"s mansion, a middle-aged man sat on a big chair while facing a young man who seemed to be telling him something.

The young man looked like he was 17-18 years old, and at first glance, anyone would know he was no ordinary person due to his expensive clothes.

If Ling Chen was there at this moment, he would have recognized that young man with a single glance because he was none other than Ma Tu. As for the middle-aged man, he was the head of the Ma family, also Ma Tu"s father, Ma Wen.

After he finished his story, Ma Tu kept his position and stared at his father who had a weird expression on his face as though he was holding a fart.

" Wow, I am so happy for you son," Ma Wen said as he patted his son"s head with a serious kook on his face while laughing inwardly. However, deep down he just wanted to smack the s.h.i.+t out his son after listening to his son ludicrous story.

People like them couldn"t even meet a high rank n.o.ble within the royal capital, yet that b.a.s.t.a.r.d was boasting about how he met the legendary second prince of the Sky Lion Kingdom and even shared a ride with him.

As if that wasn"t enough, that useless b.a.s.t.a.r.d even goes as far as to say that he had met the infamous little devil, the third son of the Heavenly Demon Venerable as well, the true ruler of the domain.

At this moment Ma Wen couldn"t help but wonder just how high his son"s boasting skill was as well his imaginative mind to be able to come up with such a ridiculous story.

This wasn"t the first time he made up those cooked up stories, however, this time he took it to a whole different level.

If his son had half of the martial talent of his boasting ability, he would have been a peerless genius in the city by now.

Unlike his other three sons, Ma Tu didn"t have much talent for martial art nor businesses, which was why he didn"t push him too much. Ma Tu would rather indulge himself in s.e.xual pleasure, drinking wine than practiced Martial art.

Because he"s never done anything notorious such as ****, stealing or fighting all the time, Ma Wen didn"t stop him from enjoying his life. Though he had a playful att.i.tude, he knew what not to say in public and who not to provoke. He had good self-control.

Furthermore, Ma Tu was the son of Ma Wen"s most beloved wife who unfortunately pa.s.sed away when Ma Tu was just a child, as such Ma Wen doted on him a lot.

" I am telling you the truth father." Replied Ma Tu while looking at his father"s weird expression which clearly indicated that he didn"t believe a word he said.

Ma Tu still couldn"t believe that the day he wasn"t joking with his father and was telling him the truth, was the day that his father didn"t believe him.

" I believe you, my son. Speaking of which, I had dinner with the Queen of the Sky Lion Kingdom last night and she even invited me to her chamber." Added Ma Wen while looking at Ma Tu with a serious expression on his face as though he was telling the truth.

Seeing the look on his father"s face, Ma Tu knew that no matter what he said, his father wouldn"t believe him. Well, he couldn"t blame him either. He probably would have done the same thing if he was in his place.

The only way to convince him was with proof. Without wasting any time, Ma Tu went to his room and came back with a black bag.

When he came back, his father was standing by the window looking at the children playing in the courtyard.

Upon hearing the footsteps, he looked back and saw Ma Tu coming to his way with a small bag in his hand.

" What, you forgot to tell me that you"ve met with the Yan Emperor and spend the night with the Saintness of the Pure Maiden Sect." Ma Wen jokingly said while laughing at his son.

Listening to his father"s mocking laugh, Ma Tu didn"t say anything. He just untied the small bag and poured out of its contents on the nearby table.

Suddenly, the entire room was filled with a rich Heaven and Earth True Qi as a bunch of medicinal pills, True Qi Stones, and spiritual fruits fell on the table. Among them were high-grade True Qi stones, High-grade Returning True Qi pills, Breaking Barrier Pills, Impurities Cleansing pill, Strength Enhancing Fruits, Agility Enhancing fruits.

The moment these treasures fell on the table, Ma Wen suddenly stopped laughing. He stopped laughing so abruptly that he almost choked on his own laugh.

At the same time, his expression greatly s.h.i.+fted. His old pair of eyes opened wide while gazing at the number of treasures on the table. He even rubbed his eyes since he thought he was only seeing things.

However, after rubbing his eyes for a while, the medicinal pills and the other priceless treasures were still there, meaning that it was not only in his mind!

" Holy s.h.i.+t." Ma Wen suddenly said before he fell unconscious on the floor with a thud sound from shocked.
