The news of the Qin Family’s banquet once again created a sensation throughout the provincial city.
After the Feng Family received the invitation, they convened another urgent meeting.
During the meeting, Feng Chaosi smiled proudly and said, “You see, even the Qin Family knows that they can’t swallow such a big piece of cake on their own, which is why they’ve called on us local powerhouses to attend.”
“Therefore, I propose that this time our Feng Family should show off our strength, to let this Qin Family and that Mr. Xue know our prowess,” Feng Chaosi declared.
Everyone nodded in agreement, Feng Qi felt an immense sense of pride, thinking his younger son indeed had great prospects.
Only Feng Chaochou remained silent throughout, his gaze dark and brooding.
He believed that this banquet could not be as simple as it seemed.
That man, could you really threaten him with just these local nobodies?
Similar arguments were taking place almost in every powerful family.
At this moment.
The atmosphere in the Shi Family was very tense.
Shi Hao’s father, the current Family Head Shi Dong, sat grim-faced on his chair.
A few other influential members of the Shi Family also had unhappy expressions.
Shi Hao stood below them, expressionless, like a criminal being interrogated.
“Shi Hao, who allowed you to communicate with the Qin Family on behalf of the Shi Family?” one of Shi Hao’s uncles took the initiative to confront him.
Shi Hao replied wearily, “No one did.”
“Humph, such audacity! Do you understand the gravity of your offense?” his uncle said with a sneer.
Shi Hao shook his head, “I know, but I had no choice. Because this concerns the life and death of our Shi Family.”
“Stop with your clever excuses. I refuse to believe that this Qin Family and that Mr. Xue can actually devour people. It’s all fearmongering!” Shi Hao’s uncle said with a face full of anger.
Indeed!
Now, who knows how many people are drooling over the large piece of cake left by the Xie Family.
But now, to everyone’s dismay, the Shi Family has taken the lead in backing out.
Shi Hao’s expression also darkened at this point, “Second Uncle, whether you believe it or not, all I can say is, you can’t even imagine Mr. Xue’s capabilities!”
Shi Hao’s second uncle scoffed, “How capable can he be? Does he have three heads and six arms? Don’t give me that…”
At that moment, Shi Dong waved his hand and said, “Enough! No more talk!”
Shi Hao’s second uncle retreated sullenly.
Then Shi Dong looked at Shi Hao and said, “Since you are so confident, fine, we the Shi Family will remain neutral at tonight’s banquet. I want to see for myself what sort of man this Mr. Xue is!”
Shi Hao bowed his head, “Thank you, Father!”
“But if it’s not as you say…”
“I am willing to accept punishment!” Shi Hao declared with a resolved gaze.
From early evening onwards, a stream of luxury cars never ceased at the entrance of Lijing Hotel.
Almost all the wealthy families of the provincial city had arrived.
And lots of rich young heirs and heiresses also came to join in the excitement.
These brightly dressed youths gathered in small groups, chatting merrily.
For them, this was a rare grand gathering.
As for the disappearance of the Xie Family.
They didn’t care about it.
It doesn’t matter who dies; as long as the profits come to me, then everything is negotiable.
The heads of these wealthy families, however, were discussing tonight’s banquet in their own small clusters.
“What do you think the Qin Family is up to, inviting us all here?” said an old man with graying hair and elegant attire.
“Old Master Wang, I reckon the Qin Family is planning to win us over. After all, as newcomers, they won’t be able to settle down in the provincial city without our support,” a middle-aged man said.
The crowd nodded.
“To say that the Xie Family’s decades of foundations vanished overnight is truly unexpected,” the old man said feigningly.
But at the mention of the Xie Family’s left-behind estate, many eyes gleamed with greed.
It was all about interests, after all.
At that moment, there was a commotion outside and someone exclaimed,
“It’s the Feng Family, why have they brought so many people?”
This time the Feng Family had arrived with dozens of members.
Moreover, the Feng Family Head along with numerous influential figures had all attended the event.
At this moment, the difference in status became evident.
Many smaller families hurriedly made way.
Feng Qi led the way at the forefront.
Behind him followed Feng Chaosi with a face full of arrogance.
And then there were the many important figures invited by the Feng Family.
Only Feng Chaochou was trailing at the very end.
By now, he had become the laughingstock of the family.
No one was willing to spare him a second glance.
After Feng Qi and the others took their seats,
the atmosphere in the hall heated up.
Many people began whispering to each other.
“With such a grand showing from the Feng Family, it seems they’re not here with good intentions!”
“Even a fool could guess that, couldn’t they? The Feng Family is second only to the Xie Family. With the Xie Family’s downfall, how could they pass up this rare opportunity?”
“Now this is going to be quite a show, no matter how powerful the Qin Family is, it’s just a dragon crossing the river. It looks like they’re definitely going to bleed a lot this time!”
Amidst these murmurs, Feng Qi, seemingly unfazed, scanned the people in the hall.
Huh!
Why haven’t the Shi Family arrived yet?
As he wondered, Shi Dong arrived with his entourage.
Compared to the Feng Family’s pomp, the Shi Family was much more understated.
Given the longstanding animosity between the Feng and Shi Families, their meeting was marked by exchanged glares of anger.
Shi Dong, expressionless, led his people to sit down at a distance.
With that, nearly all the elite and powerful families of Zhongdu had arrived.
Everyone was waiting.
Waiting to see how the Qin Family would deal with the situation.
Upstairs, Qin Yu watched with some nervousness.
This was her first time leading the charge on her own.
She had called Qin Yuan, but he said that he had left the matter entirely in her hands.
This made Qin Yu feel the weight of responsibility on her shoulders.
At that moment, Xue An suddenly smiled.
“Mr. Xue, what are you laughing at?” Qin Yu asked.
“What do you think would happen to Zhongdu if we killed all these people right now?” Xue An said indifferently.
The suggestion sent a chill down Qin Yu’s spine.
If so many people really did die here,
it was certain that the entire Zhongdu would descend into chaos.
Seeing Qin Yu’s shocked expression, Xue An couldn’t help but smile slightly. “Just kidding, I’m not a maniac.”
But Qin Yu still felt somewhat terrified.
She knew that in Xue An’s eyes, these so-called elite and powerful, were little better than pigs and dogs.
“Go ahead, it’s your turn to take the stage now!” Xue An stated calmly.
Qin Yu bit her lip, regained her composure, and then turned to go downstairs.
As she appeared in the hall, the once noisy room gradually fell silent.
Many people fixed scrutinizing gazes on Qin Yu.
Gradually, these gazes turned contemptuous.
So, the Qin Family who had made such a big fuss sent just this little girl?
At this moment, Feng Chaosi sneered disdainfully and then ogled Qin Yu with greedy eyes.
She is quite good-looking after all!
After the negotiation is over, I’ll have to find an opportunity to get in touch with her.
Feng Chaosi thought to himself.
