Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 225: Chapter 225 The situation is one-sided

”Dammit, what the heck is this!” Hou Shilin cursed at the Xie Family members.

Hou Xiangde looked towards Nan Wudi and bowed, saying, ”Patriarch Nan, please forgive our inability to welcome you from afar.”

”We’re all family here, no need for such formalities!” Nan Wudi waved his hand, his expression slightly gloomy, and whispered to Su Yang, ”Master Su, the situation this time seems a bit grim.”

”What’s happened?” Su Yang asked quietly.

”I heard that the Hong Family knows they don’t stand much chance this time, so they’ve chosen to ally with the Zhao Family. The Wang and Lin Families, who have close ties with the Hong Family, are likely to support the Zhao Family as well.”

Nan Wudi said somberly, ”On top of that, the Zhao Family already has the support of the Zhou and Shangguan families. Moreover, since the Xie and Chen Families have conflicts with the Hou Family, I estimate that six families will now be supporting the Zhao Family. What’s left are only our Nan Family, the Qin Family, and the Ye Family.”

With a sigh, Nan Wudi continued, ”Patriarch Ye Zhenying of the Ye Family actually holds a pivotal position among the Ten Great Families. If he could give us his support, there might still be hope. However, the Ye Family has a good relationship with the Shangguan Family. If the Shangguan Family chooses to support the Zhao Family, then I’m afraid the Ye Family will also turn towards them.”

Nan Wudi didn’t say more, but his meaning was quite clear. This time, the Hou Family’s hopes were truly slim.

Hou Xiangde’s face turned deathly pale; if they failed this time, being trampled on by the Zhao Family in the future would spell serious trouble for the Hou Family.

Su Yang, however, remained calm and said nothing.

”Regardless, my Nan Family will absolutely support Master Su!” Nan Wudi declared. ”This time, I will definitely confront them to the very end!”

”Thank you, Patriarch Nan!” Hou Xiangde expressed his sincere gratitude.

Only then did Su Yang nod and say, ”Let’s go upstairs.”

The group ascended to the upstairs hall and sat opposite the Zhao and Xie Families.

Zhao Changlong’s sneer was unrelenting, while the people of the Fang Family behind him looked utterly smug.

Just now, Xie Hongyun had informed them about the current situation, and the Zhao Family was completely confident of their victory. Next, it was time to humiliate the Hou Family and Su Yang.

”He probably doesn’t even realize he’s waiting for his death...” Fang Jianhong sneered, ”Does he really think that having the Nan Family’s support means he can do whatever he wants? When the time comes, with only the Nan Family standing behind them, oh, how embarrassing it will be!”

”He’s utterly getting what he deserves!” Fang Hui said through clenched teeth. ”He’s just a filthy beggar that came from the countryside, does he really think he can transform into a phoenix? Humph, today we’ll knock him back to his original form!”

”Our Qingru has always been perceptive, fortunately, she didn’t choose this Su guy. Otherwise, how embarrassing it would have been tonight!” Fang Cui said with heartfelt emotion.

”He’s digging his own grave, nobody else to blame!” Lin Qingru said coldly. ”Thankfully, I called off that marriage last night; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been just me, even our family might have been dragged down by him!”

”Yes, yes!” The three from the Fang Family were relieved beyond measure. Fang Cui looked at Liao Yuxuan and said with emotion, ”Qingru has always been discerning. Yuxuan, you truly make your mother proud!”

Liao Yuxuan gave a slight smile and said, ”After tonight’s events, our Liao Family will take over many of the Hou Family’s assets in Nanluo City. We may have to trouble everyone to help manage them afterward!”

Overjoyed, the three Fang Family members immediately responded, with Fang Hui saying, ”No problem, no problem. I’m the best at handling business. Heh, if I could take over Beixing Mall, I’ll make that bitch Hu Xiexie kneel before me and beg for mercy!”

”No problem!” Liao Yuxuan sneered, ”After tonight, the Hou Family and the four great families, as well as the number one richest man, will all become things of the past. My Liao Family will completely become the master of Nanluo!”

The three members of the Fang Family were full of yearning. If the Liao Family claimed supremacy, wouldn’t their Fang Family be hitching themselves to a rising star?

”Qingru, your perseverance was absolutely right!” Fang Hui said excitedly.

Lin Qingru smiled proudly, and Liao Yuxuan’s face was filled with arrogance. During this period, he had been severely pressured by Su Yang. This time, he was determined to trample Su Yang underfoot completely, letting everyone know that he, Liao Yuxuan, was incomparable to Su Yang!

Before long, a family arrived. The newcomers were from the Chen Family, led by none other than the Chen Family Head, Chen Yong’an.

Upon his arrival, Chen Yong’an merely glanced at the Hou Family, then went straight towards the Xie Family, greeting them and the Zhao Family warmly. Undoubtedly, they were there to support the Zhao Family.

The Zhao Family’s members were all looking smug, while the faces of the Hou Family members were filled with embarrassment.

After a moment, another family approached. This time it was the Lin Family, with the Family Head Lin Zhengyuan leading a group directly to the Zhao Family’s side, openly backing them.

Then, another group arrived, headed by the Wang Family Head, Wang Yuguang, and the people from the Hong Family. This group didn’t even glance at the Hou Family, but went straight to the Zhao Family’s side.

Before sitting down, Wang Yuguang declared aloud, ”Everyone, Elder Master Zhou of the Zhou Family passed away recently, and there’s been some dispute within their family, so they won’t be joining us today. This time, the matters will have to be settled by our eight families!”

Hearing this, Liao Yuxuan couldn’t help but sneer, ”Then is there even anything to settle? My grandfather will certainly support our side!”

”Your grandfather?” Wang Yuguang glanced at Liao Yuxuan and chuckled, ”Oh, so you’re the child of that daughter whom Qin Haishan abandoned. I’ve heard Old Qin mention you, haha, Old Qin will be coming up soon. It looks like the outcome of this matter could be decided ahead of time.”

After speaking, Wang Yuguang solemnly proposed, ”I suggest the Wang Family’s proposal, for the Zhao Family to enter the Ten Great Families!”

Xie Hongyun immediately called out, ”I, representing the Xie Family, suggest the Zhao Family to enter the Ten Great Families!”

Lin Zhengyuan said, ”The Lin Family proposes the Zhao Family’s entry into the Ten Great Families!”

Chen Yong’an stated, ”The Chen Family proposes the Zhao Family’s entry into the Ten Great Families!”

Zhao Changlong immediately stood up, bowed deeply to the four major families, ”Thank you all for your favor. On behalf of the entire Zhao Family, I express our sincere gratitude!”

”Old Zhao, you’re being too polite!” Wang Yuguang laughed, ”The efforts of the Zhao Family over the years are clear to everyone. Their entry into the Ten Great Families is only natural. Today’s consultation meeting is completely unnecessary. Would any clown actually be able to displace the Zhao Family?”

The crowd erupted in laughter; the clown referenced was clearly the Hou Family.

The faces of the Hou Family members flushed with embarrassment, but they didn’t dare to speak up since they were not yet members of the Ten Great Families.

Nan Wudi couldn’t hold back any longer, slammed the table, and roared, ”Wang Yuguang, mind your words. The results aren’t decided yet; do you really think you’ve already won?”

Wang Yuguang’s expression turned ice-cold as he retorted, ”Nan Wudi, who do you think you are to raise your voice at me? What, have you forgotten the shame of being defeated by my brother a few years ago?”
