Sect Patriarch System - Chapter 4 Flashback

~~{Earth, 2012}~~

“How’s the kid doing?”The man who was asking the question appeared to be a police chief.

“Boss! The boy stays consistent in his statements! He claims that as the men broke into his house, they murdered his father and raped his mother. Later on, he killed all of them.” A police officer answered respectfully.

“Did the autopsy reveal anything?”

“Sir! According to the autopsy, three men had their necks snapped, two men had their spinal cords shattered, and the other one’s heart and lungs were punctured by his own ribs. These injuries… they’re not something that any normal person could induce on someone. It’s honestly more believable that they were hit by a semi and were later dragged to the scene! But…”

“But?”

“On the man who had his heart and lungs punctured… there’s literally an indent of a child sized fist on his chest! And the two who had their necks snapped, there’s no way that it happened in an accident. Sir, I think this kid might be telling the truth. As much as I don’t want to admit it, I don’t think I have much choice but to.”

“Hm… I’m going to go see the kid!”

————————————————————-

“What’s your name kid?”

“Su Qiang.”

“You must be pretty upset. Seeing your dad die?”

“No. My parents never loved me. I never felt the need to love them back. What’s the point? There’s no need to care for those who don’t care for you.”

“Is that so? Kid, I know it might be hard for you. But can you run me through the events that happened?”

“En. I was laying on my bed, when I heard the sound of glass shattering. I slowly opened my door and crept towards the stairs. I could see six people dressed in black, holding my parents at gun point. As you probably know, my family is quite well off, so I assumed they were robbing us…”

~~{Su family residence}~~

“What’s the code to your fucking safe? If you don’t tell me now, I’ll fucking shoot your wife’s face off!”

“Please! Leave my wife alone! Do whatever you want to me. Just leave her alone! Please! Please don’t kill my wife!”

“Oh? Don’t worry, we won’t kill her.” One of the men in black said before nodding at two other men.

The two men began cackling.

“W-what are you doing!?”

“We promise not to kill her. But we need some type of compensation right?”

“N-no! YOU FUCKING BASTARD!”

*BANG*

“NOOOOOO!” A woman’s scream could be heard.

“Annoying little cunt! He’s better off dead! And shut the woman up!”

Just then one of the men punched the woman in the face before proceeding to strip her and himself.

“Haha! Isn’t this just funny? Anyway, you three, go get the money!” As the man finished talking, three men ran up stairs.

“Let’s each search one room.”

“Shit.” Su Qiang whispered before quickly closing the door.

“Hehe! Let’s see how much these people are wor-” As one man made the fatal mistake of entering the room Su Qiang was in, he quickly had his neck snapped clean in half by Su Qiang.

Su Qiang, not wanting to give anyone a chance, quickly darted into another room and wrenched another mans head backwards, causing his spine to poke out of his throat.

Following this action up, by doing the opposite to the next guy, it was time to move down stairs.

Even though Su Qiang didn’t feel much towards his parents, he still had some strange sense of morals towards them. Maybe it just pissed him off that there were people willing to do this to others for the sole reason of monetary growth in the first place.

As Su Qiang reached the bottom of the stairs, he noticed that one person was missing. He chose not to take too much notice of it, and decided to go for the two men violating his mother.

Su Qiang swiftly sent a roundhouse kick with all of his strength to the back of one of them, causing his spinal cord to shatter, leaving him in immense pain for the seconds leading up to his death.

“What the fuck!?” The other man yelled swiftly reaching for his gun.

However, he was nowhere near fast enough, Su Qiang pushed him to the ground and stomped on his back, shattering his spinal cord, just like the man before him.

*BANG!*

“Haha! Take that you little fucking shit!”

*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*

The man shot at Su Qiang a total of 4 times, but only actually hit him once, right in his left shoulder. This was when Su Qiang realised he wasn’t dealing with an expert by any means.

“That kinda hurt.” Su Qiang stated before rushing at the man and swiftly sending a punch at his chest, causing the mans ribs to break to puncture his lungs and heart.

“Suffer.” Su Qiang stated.

As he walked away, Su Qiang called the police, and watched the man slowly choke on his own blood and die, without a hint of remorse in his eyes. The puncture to his heart and lungs weren’t enough for him to die instantly, so his death was surely painful.

This day would be an event that Su Qiang would always find puzzling. Not only did he kill multiple people, but the entire time he didn’t feel even the tiniest bit of remorse. Nor did he feel disgust at their dead bodies. ‘The world is better off without some people.’ That’s the only thought that was in his mind. The only though that’s realistically still in his mind.

~~{Han Clan Residence}~~

After waking up from what some would call a nightmare, Su Qiang was quite confused. It’s probably just because he’s been thinking about what it would be like if he were to become a parent.

“Well, I really have to find a highly talented disciple… quickly. Time’s running out fast.”

“System, can I ask you for a favour?”

[Ding! Responding to host: That depends, what’s the favour?]

“Is there anyone within any of the nearby towns/villages, or even in this one, who used to be a well known genius but is now considered a waste?” Su Qiang knew that this was one of the biggest clich’s in novels, so he figured that there might be a high chance.

[Ding! Responding to host: In a small town 10 km west of here, there is a 14 year old boy who should meet your ‘requirements’!]

“Oh? Do his talents reach your recommended requirements for a direct disciple?”

[Ding! Responding to host: Of course.]

“Well then, after finding Han Chunhua, I shall make my way there.”

~~{Patriarch’s room}~~

“Sup… father-in-law? Anyway, where’s Han Chunhua?”

“My son! Please help us! A young master from a 5th level sect has come to try and take her as his wife! We’ve fought him off before, but now he’s returned with an Elder!”

“… WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T YOU COME AND WAKE ME UP!?”

“I’m sorry, but your wife didn’t wish for me to bother you! She said that she’d deal with it!”

“What’s the strength of this Elder?”

“He’s at the low stage of the GrandMaster Realm! I’m sorry, but there’s not much that we can do against him.”

“Then let me.”

As soon as Su Qiang finished talking, he had the system set a waypoint at their location, and flew in on his sword.

“WHO DARES COME AFTER MY WIFE!?” Su Qiang yelled before swiftly descending upon the group.

“Qiang!” Han Chunhua yelled before throwing herself into his arms.

“Why wouldn’t you come get me?” Su Qiang said lovingly, after all, this was quite literally the love of two of his lives.

“I’m sorry.” Han Chunhua said before she started to cry. This action surprised the other Han family members as she was known to be quite the ice queen.

“Hmph! Elder! Kill him!”Their little moment was interrupted by a stern yet high pitched voice.

The voice belonged to a short pretty boy wearing a light green robe. The boy had short red hair, and pretty much looked like a discount Kpop star.

“As you wish young master.” An old man in a black robe said before launching himself at Su Qiang.

“Green tigers claws!” The old man yelled before making multiple slashes at Su Qiang’s throat.

“Fuck off.” Su Qiang said, stopping the mans attack with one finger.

“WHAT!?” The old man yelled in surprise. After all, not even the patriarch was capable of such a feat, and he was a warrior in the Mid stage of the Grandmaster realm.

Noticing that the other side was beginning to realise how strong he was, he didn’t want them to back out of it now, so he decided to set off the young master a bit.

“Forgive me.” Su Qiang whispered to Han Chunhua, before grabbing her ass, and passionately kissing her.

“Why would you apologise?” Han Chunhua, whispered whilst blushing.

“…FUCK YOU!” The young master yelled before charging at Su Qiang.

“Soul Devourer!” Su Qiang yelled before quickly turning around and grabbing the young master by the face.

Through this technique, Su Qiang is able to learn the victims techniques, if he wants to, and he can even use their souls in his puppets, allowing them to take on a proper human form, which can obviously be edited. It even allows him to just give the puppets vague orders in which he won’t have to be manually controlling them.

“What did you do to the young master!?” The old man yelled before charging at Su Qiang as well.

“Just die already.” Su Qiang said, activating his Shadow Manipulation.

Creating a giant beast out of darkness, he consumed the old man, not leaving any blood behind.

“Now… time to leave.”
